FULTON COUNTY NEWS.' IN DARKEST IRELAND. Mr. Hugh Sutherland's Master ly Presentation of the Irish Cause. The North American Is .pub lishing a series of letters by Hugh Sutherland on conditions social, industrial and political as tlioy are in Ireland. The first ar ticle) was printed December 8, and -was followed by others which, for graphic description and masterly presentation of facts, have no parallel in recent newspaper writing. They will continue until the subject is fully exploited. Mr. Sutherland is fa miliar to newspaper readers. As Commissioner foi- The North American to the Boer Republic in tho concluding days of Kru ger's Presidency, as a staff cor respondent for the same paper in the mining districts of Penn sylvania, his work attracted wi 'dest popular interest as well as tho closest consideration of the students of economics, political and otherwise. Mr. Sutherland is conservative and of the widest intelligence. His articles are of unique interest, as they are char acterized by truth. Prejudices, either for or against a master ridden race, does not enter into tho work. So far as one of blood and flesh may do so, Mr. Suther land has divested himself of hu man sympathy and gives the plain cold facts of the situation. Ireland's wrongs, her real con stitutional injuries and her op pressd state have not been told of late. Government espionage, the certainty of a term in -jail, social and business boycott operate as a press censorship in Great Brit ain as thorough, if less direct, as in autocratic Russia. Newspa pers daro not print, correspond ents dare not tell the story of Ire laud's woes. Public speech is a felony, the printing of a Nation alist . .newspaper in Irelaud a ciimb'without defense. ' In order that the truth might be known, therefore, The North American commissioned Mr. Sutherland as chief of an expedi tion into Darkest Irelaud. For weeks the searchers for truth traversed the country. They have touched every side of every ques tion ; talked politics with the peasant iu his cabin, discussed land tenures with the English owner in London. They have got at the heart of oue of the greatest political revo lutions the world, has experienc ed, one that is taking place with out the world being aware of it. Fortunately for contemporane ous history, there is Mr. Suther land to write and The North American to print the story. NINTH KKVKM'E PISTHICT. Report Shown It tu lie tho Leading Cigar District.

"Evtry timu I tee a large assem blage of people in n lurjjo city, pitch as il'.c Cirand Armv cncainprnont nt Washington," fi'u nn old Wash ingtoniun the other day, "it recalls to my mind a little incident which took place in front of tho Post building gome years ago. It was during the Christian Endeavor con vention, and the city, of course, wus crowded. There whs a largo contingent of folks from the coun try, the real plain people, who 'form tho bulwark of the nation.' "All wanted to see tho sights, quite naturally, and Home of them were trying to get through on a very small margin financially and besides probably had been warned to look out for (he man with tho golden brick. A party of six, both men and women, came out of tho Tost building one afternoon, and a tall, rawboned old man with a pa triarchal beard rushed out across tho plaza and hailed a passing Four teenth street car. " 'Say, mister,' he cried, brandish ing his weather beaten umbrella at the driver, 'what '11 you ake us up to Mount Pleasant for?' " 'Ilovr many arc there of you?' " 'Six,' came tho answer. "'Well, I'll tako you all up for 5 cents apiece,' said the driver, smil ing benevolently at the bucolic group. "Til go you,' responded the countryman, and with tho triumph ant air of a woman who has just made a bargain counter look like three lead dimes he shouted back to his party: 'He'll take us tip for 5 cents apiece. Come on.' And they all scrambled in among the amused passengers. "It's dollurs to doughnuts that those folks who were running up against the wiles of city life never learned that the bargain they struck cost them 5 cents more than six tickets would have filched out of their . exchequer." Washington Post. Had Confidence In the Doctor. At the annual meeting of tho As sociation of Military Surgeons of the United States Major John Van "THE DOCTOH TOLD I!H TO UAKB THH COl' UN." R. lion! in the course of his speech accepting the presidency of the asso ciation told tho following story: "A lady was passing through the wards of an overcrowded military hospital when she suddenly encountered two men sawing and hammering on some boards. She looked at them in some surprise and wondcringly asked, 'What are you doing there, my men?' They looked up at her, und one of them said: 'What are wo doing? Why, wo are making a cof fin; that's whut we ure doing.' 'A collin?' sho asked. 'For whohi are you making a eofl'm?' 'For that fellow over there in that bed. Don't you see him?' Tho lady looked in tho direction indicated and saw a man apparently in good condition and watching the operation with greut interest. 'Why, that man is not dead, and, indeed, he docs not look as if he were going to die. Can't you postpone this work?' 'No,' the men said, 'we can't post pone it. The doctor told us 'to make the eofl'm, and he knows what he gave him.' " ' It Wu Poor French. When tho Itev. Dr. Newell Dwight Ilillis was u seminary student, it is said that ho prided himself on being more proficient in modern languages than his fellows. When it came his turn to say grace in the "mess room," he persisted in saying it in French until ho was cut short by the gruff remonstrance of a wild western theologue "Oh, here, Ilil lis, cut that." "I suppose you object to what you don't understand," retorted Ilillis. "It ain't that," replied the other, "so much as that I don't believe the Lord himself knows what you are saying." New York Times. Stamp Needed. - The now thirteen cent stamp for foreign registered letters will fill a long felt want, but an even greater want remains unsatisfied. It is that of an international stamp, good in either direction, whieh can bo sent to foreign correspondents by per sons desiring to prepay the postage on letters' to bo addressed to them. Philadelphia Ledger. n a n n r. n ha lvh the meet hoallnia eelve In the world OARING AMERICAN'S "FATE. The Frnrfchis contains the follow ing story of ii daring American' tour ist in the French metropolis: "Vic tor Evundule, an American about forty years of age, declared at a cafe table that ho had lived for ten years in tho wildest regions of west ern United States and had never carried a weapon and was never afraid. Several Frenchmen who were present told hint that Paris wiw more dangerous. They asserted that be could not go front Crenelle to Montrngue, for example, after 10 o'clock at night without being killed unless ho woro laborers' clothes. Evandalo left tho ci.fe after a time without reverting to tho conversa tion about dangerous localities. Next morning his companions of tho night before were horrified to reud of the discovery of Evandalo's body iu the glacis of tho fortifica tions near the Maison Blanche. It is supposed ho must have actually attempted to walk from Crenelle to Montrogue immediately after leav ing his friends. Evidently ho was attached from behind. Tight around his neck was found a thin leather thong whieh had been used to stran gle hint. His pockets were ritled and his shoes und coat removed." Soldieri ai Automaton. To convert a man physically into an imitation of u machine is, we know, no dillicult task. 'Long dis tance athletes clearly prove this. Soldiers, again, afford instunces. During the last army maneuvers of ono country a batch of foot soldiers was specially trained for long dis tance marching. After traveling a prodigious number of miles they were commai:'1'd lo halt and fire, says Cusscll's Magazine. Not one man could bring his rifle to his shoulder anil take aim. Yet at the word "March!" all of them, totter ing und unsteady as they were, start ed promptly to limp on again. They could not perforin u fresh action, but their inarching had become au tomatic. Dying Sensation. Dr. Foote of Kansas, who com mitted suicide recently by taking poison, left the following note de scribing his struggles: "I feel all right at the present time, but know that the poison is doing its work. I burn, but feel a sort of soothing sensation How over me and a desire to go to sleep. I am sure that I have not much longer to live. It is now after 3 o'clock, and I feel I am dying. My head is clear, and my brain works perfectly. Hut now I feel the spasm coming, and then I will be gone. Good by." Hard Rule For Printers. All printing establishments in Turkey, according to a new law just passed, may have only ono door, and that opening on to the street. Win dows must bo covered with close meshed wire netting so that no pa pers cun be handed through. A statement must bo made a year in advance of the amount of ink re quired, which will bo supplied by the state. A specimen of everything printed is to bo kept and must be shown at any time to a police in spector on pain of a fine. Hint to Coal Consumer. A Swedish professor, Svcnd Ar rhenius, has evolved a new theory of the extinction of tho human race. He holds that the combustion of coal by civilized man is gradually warming the atmosphere so thut in tho course of a few cycles of 10,000 years the earth will bo baked in a temperature close to the boiling point. IIo bases his theory on the accumulation of carbonic acid in the atmosphere, which acts as a glass in concentrating and refracting the heut of the sun. New Table of Value. "Now, children," said the teacher to tho c.'ass in advanced arithmetic, "you may recito in unison tho table of values." And the children repeated in chorus : "Ten mills make a trust. "Ten trusts make a combine. "Ten combines make a merger. "Ten mergers make a magnate. "One magnate makes the money Baltimore American. American Good Spender. Four million dollurs is the sum annually left in Paris by visiting Americans, according to a writer in. the Petit Farisien. Mrs. Charles T. Yerkes is credited with spending $'20,000 a yeur on gowns purchased there, und Mrs. Muckay sometimes orders $10,000 or $15,000 worth at a time. Among male customers the best are said to be Morgan, Carne gie, Schwab and Vanderbilt. Has Never Happened. "Does hanging prevent murder?" asked a friend of Deputy Attorney General Job E.
