ERIN'S CAUSE AND HER APOSTLES IN AMERICA Distinguisived Irish Mission aries Sent Here to Gather the Sinews of Wir in the Combat Against “Ab sentee Landlordism.” Dillon, Blake, and Davitt to Address the Mass Meeting at the Lafayette Opera House Tomorrow Night Redmond _alled Home. The representatives of the Irish par Hamentary party who are at present en gaged in a circuit of the principal cen ters of population in the United States will tomorrow evening address a mass meeting of their fellow countrymen and those who sympathize with their ef forts, in the Lafayette Opera House. In this connection the question attribut ed to Napper Tandy in the “Wearin’ of the Green’ will naturally occur to many, namely, “How is Old Ireland, or how does she stand?” For the past two years the contest for supremacy in the Emerald Isle between the forces of landlordism and theie of the United Irish League—the popular or ganization of the tenant farmers—has been more flerce, and more like a fight to ithe death, than any similar struggle that has taken place in Ireland within living memory. The Irish landlords have formed a combination, with practically unlimited financial support, for the avowed pur pose of crushing the power of the league On the other hand, the Irish parliamen tary party and the members of the League seem more determined ‘han eve; to make an end of landlordism in Ire land by compelling the government through aggressive and persistent agi tation, to legisiate for compulsory pur. chase of the landlords’ interest in the soll. Many Landlords Sell Out. Under &n optional purchase scheme a number of landlords have already sol out, and their former tenants are nov paying yearly installments on the princi pal and interest of the purchase money loaned by the government, which ar congiderably less than the annual rent: they formerly paid.

The leagu ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physician with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence the it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: ZThird—It is an agreeable an

perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It i unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is t expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end.

The government, on the other hand, has “proclaimed” a number of counties, cities, and towns under the “coercion act,” and a consid erable number of the lea iers in the pop ular agitation, including several mem bers of Parliament, have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment for “conspir ing to terrorize and prevent certain of his majesty's subjects for doing what they have a legal right to do.” In order to secure in this country the support necessary to carry on the fight to a successful issue the Irish party [Lave sent out a strong deputation— strong in the character of its personnel and in a combination of the qualities necessary to make their mission a suc cess. The members sent over were: John Redmond, John Dillon, Edward Blake, and Michael Davitt. Redmond Called Home. Redmond, the present chairman of the {dee parliamentary party is the recog nized leader of the Irish people, an orator of undoubted ability, and a thorough mas. ter of parliamentary debate. His utrer ances indicate breadth of view, clear ness of perception, and statesmanlike grasp of facts and conditions. He is one of the few Irish members whose argu ments and addresses in the House of Commons are always accorded respectful attention from all quarters of the house Soon after the arrival of the delegates in this count y it was conveyed to Red: mond that his personal presence in Par. liament had become a matter of urgent importance, and consequently he re turned to his post, leaving to his threes colleagues the work of organizing the friendly forces in the United States. Dillon, also a Member of Parliament is a gentleman of grave, not to say mel ancholy, aspect. He comes of a family of rebels against English rule in Ire. land, his father having been one of th “men of "67" who hoped for success b; an appeal to physical force. After th deposition of the late Mr. Parnell from the leadership of the Irish party Dillo; wag elected chairman of the majority those who had voted for retiring Par nell. He retained this pi sition until see. ing in his own retireme. the possibilit; 1 of a reunited party, he voluntarily re signed the chairmanship, which was the _ unanimously voted to John Redmond the present incumbent.

While yet an active politician in the Do minion he had warmly indorsed the home rule policy for Ireland, and some years ago he remeved to Lendon to practice law, and io take a mere active and im mediate part in the Irish struggle. At the first opportunity he was elected ‘to represent an Irish constituency in the imperial parliament, and has since been a prominent figure in the British House of Commons. Blake's reputation as a statesman had preceded him to the Brit ish Islands, and consequently his speeches have always commanded un lusual attention in the house. A Prominent Figure. The remaining member of the delega ition, Michael Davitt, has been for almost 'a quarter of a century a prominent dnd 'foreeful figure in Irish political life. The object of his most vehement denun |ciations for the past twenty-three years has been Irish landlordism—and no won ‘der. While yet a mere child he found his widowed mother with her young and weak family—of whom he was one of the {brightest and most precocious—cast on Suse roadside, evicted for non-payment of an impossible rent, from the Mayo cabin in wbich he first saw light. i She was enabled by some assistance to [take her little family to England, wherc ithere was a better chance than t home [or obtaining employment to sustain cx istence. It was here that he lost his right arm by an accident while working in a factory. The sufferings and privations endured by his mother, and her burning love for the old land, sank deep into the heart and brain of young Davitt. Early in '79, shortly after his releass on parole from penal servitude, to which he had been sentenced for complicity in preparations for an armed insurrection —and of which he had then serve twelve years in British dungeons—h: threw himself enthusiastically into th land agitation, which was just then i its incipient stage, and soon afterwar: established the historic Land League. A a monster meeting near the ruins of hi native cot, in that year, he referred ii the severest terms to the blighting in fluence of absentee landlordism, in Ire land, instancing the case of his ow: mother, and adding with remarkable im "1 pressiveness of tone and gesture: &*The memory of that mother has mad: me swear that while I have a tongue t speak, or 2 head to plan, or a hand t dare for Ireland, Irish landlordism an English misgovernment in Ireland shal find in me a sleepless and implacah! opponent.” Up to the present it cannot be denie THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6. 1902. letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. W. L. Leister, of Rogers, Ark., says: “As a practicing physician I use Castoria and like it very much.” Dr. W. T. Seeley, of Amity, N. Y., says: “I have used your Castoria for several years in my practice and have found it a safe and reliable remedy.” Dr. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa Ynez, Cal, says: “After using vour ("astoria for children for years it annovs me greatly to have an ig norant druggist substitute some thing else, especially to the patient's disadvantage, as in this case. 1 en close herewith the wrapper of the imitation.” Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary prepara tions, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. T prescribe your Cas toria in my practice because I have found 1t to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children’s complaints, Any physician who has raised a family, as 1 have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Casto ria. that, like the knight of old, Davitt has “kept the vow he swore,” and at the present moment it looks probable that he will live to see the last vestige of his chosen enemy, landlordism, swept for ever from the face of his beloved und long suffering motherland. While the tenant farmers as a hody appear to have confidence in the ability of the parliamentary party, backed by the league, to obtain the concessions ‘they immediately desire, large numbers of Irishmen, particularly in :his coun try, seem to have completely lost faith in constitutional methods as effective means of wringing any important meas ures of amelioration for Ireland from her “predominant partner;’” and hence, ‘while offering no opposition to the prog ress of the constitutional movement, they prefer to husband their energies Cand concentrate their forces for what they consider will prove more effective ‘methods in their own good time. But the meeting tomorrow cven:ing is gure to be largely attended, as the=s are very many people—and rot a few of other than Irish bleod- who are anxious to hear and see the men who represent the nationalist forces of ‘‘constitu. tional” Ireland at the present crisis, Christian Science Leciure. The Hon. William Gellepsie Ewing, who will deliver a lecture on Christian Scienee tomorrow afternoon at the Na tional Theater was at one time judge of the supreme court of Illinois, and de clined a second term in order to accept a position on the Christian Science Board of Lectureship of the First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston, Mass. He now holds the important posi tion of lecturer-at-large. Judge Ewing, wio comes of distinguished Revolution ary stock, was born on a farm in Mc Lean county, Illinois. He was educated in the public schools of Bloomington, I1l., and at Wesleyan University. Leav ing school he took up the study of law. reading Blackstone in the office of Rob ert E. Williams, at Bloomington. Later he entered the office of Benjamin F. Bristow, afterward Secretary of the In terior under President Grant. Judge Ewing is a forceful and eriertaining speaker. The lecture, which will be free, will be given under the auspices of First and Second Church of Christ, Scientist, of this city. A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT. London News. The truth about those dressmaking disputes which form such a large volume of county court business has been dis covered at last by the able judge of the city of Londen court. Judge Lumley Smith said recently that “he had long since come to the eonclusion that with ordinary dresses any lady could wear a dress to make it look as if it did not fit.” He was also “perfectly satisfled that anv milliner or dressmaker could pull it about and make it iit when it did not do so Therefore it was no use try ing on dresses in his court.” With re gard to the question of fit the judge said he always drew a distinction between West End fit and others, because mora money was paid in the West End, and the customer could have more time de voted to an elaborate fit. Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N. IL, says: “I use your Castoria in my practice, and in my family.” Dr. Wm. 1. McCann, of Omaha, Neh, says: “As the father of thir teen children 1 certainly know some thing about your great medicine and aside from my own family experi ence, I have, in my years of practice, found Castoria a popular aud effi cient remedy in almost every home.” De.

ESCAPE IN THE DARKNESS Said to Be Americans, and Captain Thinks the Men Intended to Seize the Vessel. QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 6.—The British ship Leicester Castle, which arrived yesterday from San Francisco, whence she sailed July 26, reports thai on Sep teinber 2, three American sailors aboard the vessel mutinied and fatally shot the second officer and twice wounded the captain. The mutineers then made a raft and left the ship in mid-Atlantic. They are believed to have lost their lives in the breaking up of the raft. Shipped at San Francisco. The mutineers were shipped at San Francisco. Their names, as given by Captain Peattie, are: W. A. Hobbs, Ernest Sears, and Janes Turner. Nixon, the second officer, while ai tempting to rescue the captain, received the wound of which he died. The muti neers constructed a raft of a few nlanks and coops, which they launched from the ship, then about 300 miles north of the Pitcairn Island. The captain searched for the raft the next day, but it was “not sighted, and it was surmised that it went to pieces. Captain Peattie added that Hobbs ‘wa: the actual murderer of Nixon, whom he shot through the heart. The captain himself was shot twice, but had quite recovered when he arrived here. Intended to Seize Ship. The chief officer, discovering that the three men had mutinied, mustered the crew on the poop, intending to await daylight and then attempt to capture ‘the mutineers. The latter, however, es caped in the darkness. No explanation is given to account for the mutiny. The captain supposes it vs the intention of the mutineers to ur der the officers and the men who rerused to join them, and then take the ship tc Hobos Island. Hobbs, it is said, came from Illinois Sears from Idaho, and James Turne: from Portland, Ore. A week's provisions was taken by the men with them on the raft. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.—The Leices ter Castle left here for Cork with 22,43 bushels of wheat and a general cargo, valued at $83,300. Captain Peattie has been coming to this ccast for years. Nething can be asceriained here regard ing the antecedents of the mutineers. UNION VETERANS’ UNION HOLDS AKNUAL ELECTION Charles V. Petteys Chosen District Commander.

Son:ie curious statistics relating to hair have been collected by the school au thorities at Lille. France. Thus, the auburn-haired boys are generally at the head of the recitation classes and the blonde girls learn their lessons best. Auburn boys and blonde lasses come out highest as arithmeticians. But in com pesition they are nowhere. The dark haired children of both sexes have the quality of imaginatior, and in their com positions know how 10t to fatigue the attention. They have movement and originality. In short, they seem, as com pared to the auburns and blondes, born siylists. The red-headed boys and girls in the Lille schools are at the bottom in everything. save in good conduct marks. Nor are they remarkable for good health. The dark boys behave beiter than the auburn or the fair, and are more sens tive to praise or blame. Dr. B.

Another observation to locate the comet discovered by Giacobini, at Nice, on Tuesday, and seem by W. W. Dina widdie, of the United States Naval Ob servatory, was made late last night at this observatory. At its present distance from the earth the comet looks to be little more than a speck, even through the great tele scope. In order to predict its position from night to night, the staff is comput ing an orbit for the newly found body. The ‘discovery’ of a comet is not an unusual occurrence in astronomical cir cles. In the past year four have been “discovered.” The last naked eye comet to be seen appeared about two or three ‘months ago, and is now passing aroup” the sun. It is expected to put in an ap pearance again in a few weeks. Aside from thls, there have been no bright comets since 1882. The subject of comets has aiways ‘been one of great interest to astrom cmers. They are not only peculiar be cause of their orbits, which are very ee centric ellipses or parabolas, but, in ad dition, they come from further than any other bedy of the solar system. The composition of comet tails has ‘never been fully understood, although innumerable efforts have been made to find out their nature. The meteoric showers are caused by these bodies, ani often in sheoting toward the carth the composition is burned by the friction due to the rapidity of its de scent. This forms the shooting star. which strikes the earth while traveling ‘at a rate of many miles a second. The observation was made here at mean time, 12 Lours 32 minutes; night ascension, 7 hours 17 minutes 25 sec cnls; southern declination, 1 degree 50 minutes. The comet is almost on a straight line joining Procyon and Sirius, and i= about one-third of the distance trom Procyen to Sirius. It is moving northwest. New York Press.

Pope Leo Overtaxing His Strength—His Chamberlains and Their New Uniforms—Papal Orders—A Stringency in the Vatican's Finances.

It will be well to keep a very close watch on the news from Rome. For Leo X11, free for the norce from the medi cal discipline of his trusted physician, Dr. Lapponi, who is seriously ill, is sub jecting himself to all sorts of fatigues, and has cast to the winds the very strin gent rules as regards diet and ways cf life that had been drawn up by Lapponi and rigorously enforced by the latter. Dr. Mazzoni, who is taking Lapponi’'s place, is s surgeon rather than a physi clan, and acquired the Pontiff's good will about a year ago on the occasion of his operating on the Holy Father for a small growth or tumor on his side. He has not the authority of Lapponi, por does he possess the latier’s intimate knowledge of the Jope’s health and con stitution, and the result is that Leo Xlil is lef free ‘0 follow his own de vices, _.nd has b7en tiring himself so much, especially in connection with the reception of visitors and pilgrims, that he has had several prolonged fainting spells, which have greatly alarmed his entourage it must not be forgotten that leo Xiif is a very, vory old and frail man, and that if he has been kept alive until now it is largely due 10 the extraordinary care exercised over him by his physi clan. Now that this care is relaxed, and is liable to continue so for some time to come, owing to the grave illness of Lap poni, there is no knowing what may hap pen ta the Pontiff, and any one of these fainting svells, which are increasing in number, and which indicate exhaustion of vitality, may prove fatal

The chief fatigues to which the Pope ie subjected are in connection with the re ception of pilgrims and visitors from all parte of the world. In many instances they come from remote portions of the globe, from the very antipodes_ for the sole purpose of paying their homage to the Pontiff and of receiving his personal blessing. Usually they bring offerings which are exceedingly welcome to the Pontifical treasury. Leo XIil is keenly 2 4

Joint Maneuvers in Long Is land Sound Held 10 Be Important— Recommends Annuai Repetition.

The Secretary of War has made public the official report of Maj. Gen. Arthur MacArthur en the joint maneuvers of the army and navy which occurred in Long Island Sound last September. At that time General MacArthur was in supreme command of all the land forces engaged in the maneuver$ and his report is of especial interest as bringing out the facts relating to the strength of the sea-coast defenses as. developed “by. the attack of the navy. General MacArthur says in part as follows: “One of the most notable features of the maneuvers was the gravity, profes sidfid1 zea! and dignity which character i288’ the deportment of all concerned. Aftbugh it was apparent that reciprocal hostile action, which molds the evenis of a real campaign, was absent, it was also very obvious that the fresh and novel situations which arese from bhring ing ships against ferts afforded a con siderable scope for decision and in genuity, and for the manifestation of intelligence, vigor, judgment, and com posure in very much the same manner as would have occurred in regular field operations. “It is therefore a great pleasure to sengible to these visits and gifts, and deems that it is ungracious not to re ceive the pilgrims, no matter how great the fatigue entailed, while on the other hand the pilgrims themselves, having come so far, naturally expect some atten tion on the part of the Pope, a separate blessing for each and a separate greeting, without taking into sufficient considera tion the fact that his forces are limited, and that all overexertion on his part is exceedingly dangerous. Those who have at heart the weifare of Leo XIII, 2ad who wish to =ee his reign prolong:d, will only breathe freely when Dr. Lap poni has recovered from his malady and has once more resumed charge of his il lustrious and venerable patient.

A number of American Roman Catho lies have been invested with (he rank of chawberiain to the Pope—chamber iain of the cape and of the sword, as the official style goes, It may, there fore, be of inierest to state that new regulations have been issued from the Vatican with regard to taeir distinctive dress. The principal official cosiunie worn at the Vatican, comprising ruff, mantle, black trunk hose black stock ings, sword, chain and badge around tlie neck and black doublet, remain as here tofore. The changes provide what may be described as half dress, thal is to say, costume which the chamberlains may wear by way of evening dress, when not on duty at the Vatican. This new cos tume is to consist of an evening dress of “black cloth with the facings and the cuffs of red velvet, in the case of the secret chamberlains, and of blue vejve: where the chamberlains of honor are concerned. The velvet facings are to be embroidered with gold olives and olive leaves.” This evening dress, which is the counterpart of the evening dress worn by the gentlemen of King Edward's household, and by those of the house hold of the Kalser and even of the household of the French pretender, the Duke of Orleans, in no ways affects the Harriet Sabine of Williamstown, Mass. and Miss Hazel Dunning of Cedarhurst, L. who were Miss Huff's schoolmates at Dchbg Ferry, and are at present visiting Mrs. Huff: Miss Floulke, Miss Erroll Brown, Miss Webb, Miss Gwendo line Ffoulke, Miss Field, Miss Postelth waite, Miss Seymour, Miss Bloomer, and Miss Margery Colton.

Hitt has gone to New repert to the department the eomplete professional success of the maneuvers, together with a suggestive recommenda tion in bekalf of an annual repetition thereof until the entire system of our coast defense has been subjected to a similar test. As preliminary to the general discussion it may be said that the Urited States in all warlike emerg encies can rely with absolute certainty upon everything possible of accomplish ment, by reason of the voluntary efforts of a practically inexhaustible number of courageous, self-respecting men, and way rely also upon everything that can be quickly produced by the employment of an unlimited supply of money, ul ese indispen.zable elements of mil power must always be a matter of great comfort to the nation, but in the complacent contemplation thereof it must not be forgotten that the en thusiasm of the whole nation, supple mented by billions of wealth, cannot crest on the instant anything in the production of which time is the cssential element. Fortification Work. “The fortification work of the En gineer Corps and the Ordnance Depart ment embraced within the limits of the maneuver districts cannot be too highly commended. The gun emplacements, both in location and construction, are admirable, and the guns, mortars, and carriages installed therein are splendidly adapted to the purposes of an artillery defense, “In speaking in broad terms of this great national question of coast defense, it may be said that everything relating to emplacements and guns has long since passed the experiméntal stage, in the light of which fact, and having reference to the preceding formula ip respect of time as an incident of constructive work, thd primary conclusion which is sug scarlet uniform which Papal chamber lains are entitled to wear at court and state functions abroad, the medleval black costume above described with a black doublet and mantle being reserved exclusively for use at the Vatican and at ceremonies in St. Peters, The new regulations, which are pub lished in full in the ““Osservatore Ro mano,” the oficial organ of the Vatican, prohibit the chamberlains of the Pope from wearing their chains of office, ex cept with the scarlet uniforms or with the full dress, that is to say with .he doublet and mantle. They are not to be worn with evening dress, even of the kind just authorized. I mention this be cause on several occasions I have found American chamberlains of the Pope wearing their chalne with ordinary even ing dress at ecclesiastical functions, na tably at Baltimore and in New York at

the obsequies of the late Archbishop Corrigan. While ¢n this subject it may be men tioned that the Vatican has in its gifi several orders of knighthood, namely the Order of Christ, which is only given te crowned heads and to very great per sonages indeed, the Duke of Norfolk baving it in England, while the late Prince Bismarck had it In Germany. Of this order there is ouly cue ciass. Then comes the Order of Pius IX, of which there are several classes, as there are algo of the Order of St. Gregory, founded by Pope Gregory XVI. Fourth in rank comes the Order of St. Silvester. some times known as the Order of the Golden Spur, which is eaid to date from (he days of Constantine the Great. Then there is the Order of the Holy Sepulcher, which is conferred in the name of the Pope by the Latin Patriarch of Jerusa lem, the registration fees charged by the Patriarch constituting a considerable portion of his revenues. Besides these orders the present Pontiff has created a decoration entitled “Prec Weelesia et Poatifice,”” and also co it Tata a A FS THE WASHINGTON TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1902, Miss Anna Cockrell to Be Presented to So ceety Today-—-Mrs. Fllins Called to West Virginia on Account of the liness of Her Mother, 4 York for a few days and is staying at the Cambridge. a The Solicitor General and Mrs. Rich ards gave a dinner last night in honer of Gen. and Mrs. Leonard Wood.

Mr. Maia HAE Sapa WYRE NeW fam VY Wve United States will be practically impreg nable against any hostile attack, pro vided the guns can be properly manned and the fire action thereof can be de veloped to the full limit of its useful effect. Need of Artillery Reserve. “The formation of an artillery reserve composed of men having some knowledge of the coast service is a problem of na tional concern. If the various coast States could be induced to regard the problem somewhat ‘in the nature of a local issue, a scheme could easily be worked out whereby all of their militia organizations could have annual training in the batteries at comparatively small expense to either the States or the na tion. “In several instances State organiza tions have been designated for this duty, which only emphasizes the fact that 211 State troops contiguous to sea forts should receive training of this kind, as in case of emergency the entire body of militia contiguous thereto would hardly ,be more than half enough to raise the garrisons te a war footing. “The foregoing remarks and the ad mirable service rendered by the Massa chusetts regimen: and the Coast Artil lery companies of Connecticut in the re cent maneuvers suggest the important conclusion as the result thereof, to the effect that the States of interest be in vited to confer with the War Department with a view to the formu:ation of prac tical methods whereby this important training may be imparted to the largest number of men possible. Another most important conclusion is to the effect that a reserve supply of small arms, ammu nition, and essential equipments, suffi cient to Insure adequate land support for the coast defense line, by the volun tary organization of the contiguous pop ulations, He placed in arsenals of sup ply dedicated exclusively to this pur pose, and this purpose only, with a view to a minimum organization of not less than 150,000 men, specially designed for those who have made the pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

There is a good deal of discussion in Vatican circles regarding some recent nominations to the Sacred College, and likewise with regard to the red hats which are to be conferred at the forth coming comsistory, which is to be held very* shortly. Italian cardinals. or rather those cardinals who form part of the Curia, and who make their head quarters at Rome, are entitled to a sti pend from the Vatican treasury of about $5,000. Indeed, each cardinal has a right to this stipend who does not happen to Lave some archbishopric with a stipend attached thereto. So that were Cardinal Gibbens, for instance, to resign his archbishopric of Baltimore, and to take up his residence in ‘he Bternal City, the Papal treasury would be compelled to provide him with the regular stipend of a Roman cardinal. Now the Papal treasury is in a rather ‘bad way owing to the decline in the con tributions of the faithful, especially of those known as Peter's pence, and the consequence is that nearly all the pre lates who have received red hats during the last two or three years have been men of sufficiently large private means to enable them to dispense with the sti pend, and to agree to leave it in the Papal exchequer. This, of course, has led (he maicon tents in the ecclesiastical world and likewise the foes of the church to de clare that nowadays a full purse and a large fortune constitute the principal qualifications considered in candidates ior the Sacred College, and there are some elderly cardinals—notably ome cre ated by the late Pius IX—who do not hesitate to assert that this method of conferring the red hats savors of that particular offense known as simony, namely, the sin of buying and selling
