THE IRISH CAUSE. Members of the National League Din- cuss the Elections in England—What cing Done Here to Support Par- ell and His Associates, The Robert Emmet branch of the Irish Na- onal league held a special meeting last even- ing at the hall, corner of 4% street and Pennsyl- Vania avenue, for the purpose of exchanging ‘views on the result of the elections in England and Ireland. ‘The president, Mr. Daniel Grady, said that when this meoting was appointed it was expected that the result of the English elections would be known, but he now learned that definite results would not be known until ‘Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Enough, however, was known to lead to the belief that Salisbury and not Gladstone would be at the head of the government, and that Parnell and his party would hold the balance of power in the next parliament. It was certain that either party would have but a slight majority, and while it was possi- ble that Gladstone might unite the liberals and tories it could only be ble on Irish Qpentions pure and simple. Ii a just measure othome rule is not granted to Ireland, Parnell and the national party could turn the domi: ty out of wer, as the with the liberals in the last parliatnent. gu GETTING NEW MEMBERS. Before proceeding with the discussion the secretary of the branch, Mr. Killeen, reported a list of new members, and stated that the mem- bership now numbered fifty-five, and as the or- ganization was but a week old, it was thought wut this Was a very gratifying growth. A mo- tion was offered thanking Mr. Killeen for the zeal and energy he had displayed in securing so many members. Mr. Killeen deprecated such 2% resolution, and said that he had only done his dut; He had observed in the — canyassin; which = h had been able to do that the Irish people of the Dis- trict seemed to be indifferent to the cause of Ireland and the efforts made in her behalf, On. the other hand, nine out of every ten. of the Americans and Germans as soon as asked be- came members and offered to contribute money liberally, They seemed to sympathize with Ire- jJand and the Irish people. A large majority of the names secured were not of Irish birth. He said that he thought in another week he could secure the names of fifty additional members, and he said that if there was any resolution of thanks it could be offered then. ‘In spite of his protest the resolution was adopted and the sec- retary was informed that another would be ready for him atthe next meeting. This pre- liminary business having been disposed of, a | Seneral interchange of views followed. PARNELL'S ULTIMATE OBJECT. Capt. D. W. O'Toole was invited to address the meeting. He spoke of the great importance of the Irish people in Ireland and in this coun- try giving their entire confidence and sup- port to Mr. Parnell, who was representing the cause of the country in an able and_ patriotic manner. He compared Parnell to Washing- ton, While Parnell’s object at present might be the amelioration of the condition of Irish people, yet he believed that he had for his ultimate object a grander aim in view, and for this reason he should be heartily upheld. The speaker referred to the poverty of the Irish members of parliament and the necessity that existed of enabling them to maintain them- selves as men among men. They were devoting themselves to the cause of their country, which was the cause dear to the hearts of Irishmen in all quarters of the globe, and they therefore de- served support and encouragement. ‘THE PARNELL FUND. ‘The president, Mr. Grady, in commenting upon this latter portion of Mr. O’Toole’s rg- marks, said that recently a meeting was held at the Hoffman house, New York city, and $8,000 was subscribed’ fur the national party, three men giving 120s each, A cablegram was then sent to Mr. Parnell informing him that $100,000 would be raised for the use of himself and his associates in New York city alone. All this money was raised outside ot the land league, and he understood that the Movement was going on throughout the In this matter the bishops and clergy ‘atholic church were with them ani gave thelr hearty support. He remembered some years ago that he belonged toa Fenian branch in thiscity. They were opposed by the Clergy, and that organization for’ this reason, he believed, never reached the power and effectiveness which the land league has at- ined. S Addresses were also made by Messrs. Wal Eillcen, Gleason, Murphy, Grady, Maloney others. pte ae Death o' than T. Walker. THE WALKERS OF “TOAPING” CASTLE—HOW MC KENDREE CHURCH WAS ESTABLISHED. Mr. Jonathan T. Walker, a well-known citizen of Prince George's Co., Md, and formerly a leading builder and lumber dealer of this city, died at his residence in Prince George's (Pleas- ant Prospect) Saturday, in the 75th year of his age. The deceased was of Scotch ancestry, his grandfather with two brothers having left their native land in the early part of the lastcentury, a reward of five hundred pounds having been offered tor each of their heads, because of their opposition to crowning the German elector as King George I. They settled at. Toaping Castle (named after their stronghold in Scotland), about nine miles northeast of the capital. The land was patented to Mr. Walker's grandfather | Isaae in 1754 and has since been in the family. ‘The three ancestors served in the war of the revolution, and some years after the grand- uncies, Charles and Nathan, went west. From Isaae Walker came three sobs, Isaac, who mar- ‘tied Miss Hamilton, of Baltimore county; Charles, who lived over the Eastern Branch, and Nathan, the father of deceased, with @ daughter Kate, who married a Sheriff. Mr. Walker, with ‘his brothers, learnea the trade of carpenter trom his father, and being anxious to work for himself, in 1829, he came to this city and at once obtained employment, In 1833 he married Miss Jane Amelia Benson, ried life at what is now 709 6th st. Purchasing a few lotsat the intersection of 8th and K streets northwest, he erected several brick dwellings, settling in one with his family, and located his shop on 8th street. This was the birthplace of MeKendree M. E. church. Rev. French 8. vans, who fs stili living, was at that period a, sort of home missionary of the church, and was also an officer of the Northern Liberties fire comneny whose house was in the center of ‘Sth and K streets, and he had appointed 3lq o'clock as_the hour for preaching on a Sunday afternoon In the latter part of May, 1844. For some reason this hall was not available, and the assemblage by invitation of Mr. Walker, moved northward beyond the park, on Si street, where, from the carpenter's bench, Mr, Evans delivered his message with decided ex foct.

Important investigations in fopd adulteration are being made, and it is Pro} to extend them. The work in respect tosilk culture has been much extended. The statistics compiled by the department for the present year shows an estimated increase during the past fifteen years in corn of 37,000,- 000 acres; or 80_per cent; in wheat of 20,000,- acres, or 142 per cent; in all cereals taken to- gether 67,000,000 acres, or 97 percent. The average estimated product of the principal food crops of the last five years is compared with the average of the ten years preceding, from 1870 to 1879, inclusive, showing an enormous an- nual increase in the aggregate as well as per ‘are. The commissioner says efforts should made at gute to arouse and enlighten the people “as to the dangers which threaten us through the destruction of the | forests, q Arbor days” should be instituted in all states, and the science of forestry should be taught in the schools, and organization of local and state forestry societies encouraged. ‘The report of the consumption of forests shows that it requires hearly seventeen million aeres of woodland, or 4 per cent of the woodland area of the country, exclusive of Alaska, to supply ties for the rai roads. “Hw Says st has become a question whether railroad companies might not see it to their interest to plant trees along their road- Ways or on land adapted to the purpose. ‘There has been an unparalleled inerease dur- | ing the past few years of the manufacture and sale of various compounds of animal fats, vego- table oils and other substance: are fraudulently represented to the public as but- ter, threatening the destruction of the legiti- mate dairy business, It ix not competition which is deprecated, but the simulation of true dairy products, the adoption of misleading names, tte use of fmpure substances, and the dishonest sale at high rates of products of littie yalue, which demoralize trade, defraud honest industry and deceive the buyer. ‘The commis- sioner earnestly recommends the prompt pas- sage by Congress of a stringent law to prevent the continuance of the business except under regulations, and its enforcement | the control of the internal revenue depart- ment, In conclusion,” hesays, “I beg torepresentthat | the Department of Agriculture, growing in im- portance usefulness as Our agricultural population i and its wants and necessi- ties multiply, should obviously be a progressive institution in order to keep pace with the in- creasing demads made upon it.

COMMISSIONER MONTGOMERY ASKS FOR MORE ROOM—THE DUTIES OF THE ASSISTANT COM- MISSIONER, * The annual report of the Commissioner of Patents, Mr. Montgomery, shows that the re- ceipts of the Patent office during the fiscal year recently ended were $1,074,974, while the re- ceipts for the previous year were $1,145,433. On July 1, 1884, there were 9,786 applications in arrears; on July 1, 1885, there were only 5,786 applications awaiting action, The com- missioner recommends that the salary of pri cipal examiners be raised to $2,500, and be asks for more office room, which, he says, in- Ventors themselves are so anxious to have that they would willingly gay larger feosif required, but as there is @ strplus of receipts over ex: pendjtures larger fees are not required. In the year covered by the report the surplus was $160,861, and the Patent office, the commis- sioner believes, was never intended w bea bureau of reveliite.” He pro to raise the nal subscription price of the “Offictal Ga- zette” from $5 to $10. ‘The recommends that the omission in the law, which detines the duties of the assist- ant commissioner, be supplied, and that the present practice of his pertorming such duties as are assigned to him by the commissioner re- ceive legislative sanction, The report states that there Is no statutory” provision empower- ing or directing the Attorney General to. insti- tute proceedings in the name of the United States to annul a patent that may have been unwisely or inadvertently granted, and which may work great injury to the pubile. gary ee Sauce for the Government Gander.

Summer has gone, but winter has not yetcome, The nights may be quite cool and the mornings may be somewhut trosty, but during the day the temperature Is most delightful, The sun shines brightly, the wind quently is not cold nor severe, but balmy and Yet invigorating. E A slight mist pervades the atmosphere which tones down the sharp lines of autumnal naked- ness—mellows the land: and gives tothe scenery a wonderful soothing and picturesque effect. When our forefathers | first, came’ to America, the appearai early |, of cold ‘weather and snow, caused them to think that winter had come; but the Indian told them before winter set in there would be some weeks of fiue pleasant weather; as it were, a second summer.

Two months ago he was stricken down of the case, and several papers have openly charged that Mr. Hendricks was bled to death through the stupidity of huis physician, simpiy because he had an aeute pain in his stomach, ‘These statements have doubtless arisen from & misapprehension of the tacts of the treatment. r.W. C. Thompson, the attending physician, makes the following statement: “Mr, Hendricks was pever in his life bled by me. To have bled him under the circumstances of his last Uiness woulg have Indicated great recklessness. Bat I never thought of bleeding him. © We were in the ‘putting dry cups on him, and, in obedience to his juest, on Wednesday I cupped him.

This process is used asa counter action, and | itseffect is lo relieve the interior vessels.

He said he felt bet- straightened up, and remarked, ‘Now I will takea nice sleep.’ Theso were ‘his last words to me, I hud declined before this to give him ealomei, for I toll him that he was pre- ke fl to go to Washington and that calomel would prostrate and reduce him, This seemed to meet with his approval, and so he willingly accepted the treatment as I have described, “think his death must bave occurred as early as 4 o'clock on Wednesday, for it was only a litte after that hour that Mr. Hendricks’ ser- vant came to me with the announcement that the Viee President was dead.
