His father was repeal en of the barony and in 1848 was secretary of the Young Ireland club | in Kill. Devoy was educated partly | at O'Connell school (Christian Brothers) on Richmond street, Dub- Central Model school on Marlbor- street, and the School Street school. He attended evening Catholic university and igene Curry’s lecture: In 1858, Devoy joined a Gaelic class and studied Irish for three yea He was sworn in a Fenian in 1861. The same year he went to Paris and en- listed in the Foreign Legion. He went to Algeria and: served a year, then r. turned to Ireland when the Trent af- fair gave promise of bringing on war between the United States and Eng- land. From 1862 to 1865 he lived in Naas, county Kildare, being in the em- ploy of Watkins & Co., brewers. He became acquainted with Fenian sol- | diers at Curragh camp through ac- | companying William F. Roantree, . Fenian organizer for the British army on visits to that place and to soldier: meetings in Dubli In October, 1865, he was appointed chief organizer of the Fenian army in place of Roantree, who had been ar- rested, and devoted his efforts to or- ganizing properly the men who had lready been sworn in, in place of campaigning for new men. However, he swore in hundreds of new men brought in by others. He met men from every barracks in Bublin night- ly - and reported to Col.

The Clan-Na- Gael took steps to bring about their rescuc in 1874 and a committee to plan the work was appointed.

The vessel sailed for Australia in 1875 and re- turned with the rescued prisoners in August, 1876. The Clan raised $15,- 000 for the rescued men. Worked on New York Papers. For eight year: Devoy the “New York Herald. a reporter, hbecame telegraph editor and later had charge of the foreign desk for several years. He was di charged by mes Gorden Bennett, the owner of the paper, for working in the interests of Parnell, to whom Bennett was opposed. In 1881 he started the “Irish Nation” and four yea later it discontinued publica- tion. This was partly due to losses incurred in a trial for criminal libel, the action being brought by August Belmont, the banker, whom the p: per attacked in connection with the s of Fenian funds sent to Irveland y John O‘Mahony in 1865. Its fail- ure was aslo partly due to dissatis faction of subscribers over the paper supporting Blaine for president in 1}:84. Devoy worked on the New Yory Daily Telegraph' and the “Morning Journal” and on the “Chi- cago Herald” and “Chicago Evening Post.” He became editor of the “Gaelic American” in 1903 and oc- cupies that position now.

The women, it ated, con- ducted themselves as heroically as the men, carrying on their backs during | the retreat cverything that was neces- sary to continue the struggle. Although the fall of Scutari was discounted by the Italian public, the suddenness With which it was brought about has caused much surprise. | Keen interest js manifested in po- litical circles regarding the entire Al- banian question. Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign minister had a long con- ference this morning with the king and s understood that at the meeting of the Italian cabinet tomorrow certain fcatures of the Albanian question will be discussed, although it is not expect- cd that definite decisions of import- | ance would be arrived at, as the ques- tion is an international one and must | be settled by agreement of the allies. Military experts affirm that no im- mediate anxiety is felt for Durazzo, which is understood to be satisfactor- ily defended by Essad Pasha, nor for Avlona, which is believed to be safe from a sudden blow.

During the in this city last fall Quinn w one of the large number of workmen that left their benches at the Corbin Screw Corporation and for several weeks he was without employment. It was said at that time that Mr. Quinn was one of the officials of the Machinists’ union. When the strike ended and most of the workmen were taken back to their respective factories, Mr. Quinn was re- fused admittance at his former place of employment. He did not take the refusal very s ous and started out to obtain a position in other local factories. But curt refusals usually greeted him he says and in one in- stance he practically obtained a job, the foreman reserving his decision un- til the following morning, when on arriving at the factory, Quinn was in- formed that it would be impossible to put him to work. This condition ex- isted until influential men interested themselves in his behalf and succeed- Sl ‘uring a position for him in the percolatin room in Lande: I ry & Clark factory This w two months ago and in that time Quinn says he has tried to merit t recommendations by being a trustwor- thy employe. An unpleasant surprise was in store for Quinn and it presented itself this morning when the assistant foreman informed him that the company would allow him five minutes to leave the premises. Not being sat fied with this method of being dis- charged, Quinn went to the head for man who said information had been received to the effect that he was try- ing to foment troubie among the workmen in the department.

It was the opening gun in the coming campaign and was labeled with a Dutch supper, which by the way was well served and eaten with a relish by the 200 or more members of the ward club and their friends. Mayor Quigley was toast- master and he felt right to home as he had a right to do among a gather- ing of second warders. His Honor had himself well in hand last night and was calm, cool and Suave at all stages of the event. While he re- ferred to the fireworks of the present week, it was apparently with littie resentment though he took occasion 1o let his followers know he was still at the stearing wheel and didn’t pro- pose to allow the late unpleasantness to have any effect on his methods of running the city government. Two other speakers were heard, Senator George W. Klett and Comptroller M. C. Webster of Harwinton. Senator Klett spoke of the ward clubs and the good results obtained through them in New Britain. He gave credit to the Kifth Ward Republican club for the victory at the last election in that recognized democratic strong. hold. Speaking of the coming cam- paigns, he expressed the belief that the republicans wiil win out in all three, city, state and national. Re- ferring to national issues, Senator Klett enumerated three, prosperity, preparedness and protection. Of the great question of preparedness, he declared the republican party ed and today is giving President Wil son lo support where hi party divided on the i Klett spoke strongly on issue and expressed the opinion thar the government should stand back of the flag and its citizens and make it impossible to other nations to treat them with indignities and insults. Mr. Webster spoke of the stirr events of the past fifteen months and declared that the time has come when Americans must learn to treat their foreign born brothers with a more generous sp In New England we live an isolated life and are strong believers in individualism. Our likes and dislikes are might important, but while this individualism is good, it may develop into great selfishness. We should aim to cultivate it gener- sly and to have patience with the feelings and sentiments of those comi- ing from a foreign country. He id an explanation had been given to show why the republicans have held power so long and the answer is that the republicans always finance the country. They pay their bills and provide for the future, while the dem- ocr: always contract debt nd fail to pay the ls. That answer appealed to him and he thought to many others. If the republican party was in power today the present sit- uation would be provided for and we wouldn't be afraid to send a battleship into the Mediterranean or any place else where the lives of our citizens are at stake. Mayor Quigley was the la er and when he arose the s came tense with expectancy. in the minds of many that His Honor would respond to the many attacks which he has been subjected to the safety board row and they e: awaited his words. Mayor Quigley declared that while he was a peace- ful man he did not believe in peace at any price. He was opposed to dis- graceful peaces in ci state tion and announced to his followers that he would not tolerate a disgrace- ful peace in the city gsovernment. Ie then declared that he intended giv- ing the city the best government pos- sible regardless of the outcome next spring. Regardless of critics the mayor said he believed in the history of New RBritain no better common council ever served the His Honor then took occasion to deny that he wielded a whip hand over the common council. In his belief no mayor ever had less power over the council than he. He would not stand for bossism and declared that hossism had been driven out under the: present administration. ng st speak- ence be- 1t was Reached lhl\u‘(‘ll (xl‘(‘.xl Greece in Regard to § Britain ana Supplics of Coal.
