The wide- spread interest in the series of lectures by Dr. of Deuglas Hyde at the University lifornia was attested to-night by e splendid audience that filled Har- mon Gymnasium when Dr. Hyde rose to speak. He was introduced by Profes- sor Hugo K. Schilling, head of the Ger- man department of the university.

RARE OLD WORKS THROUGH IRELAND ND ALL _— literature must be made through the me- dium of the language itself. “Ireland, although an island, has not been, even in centuries back, an insular island. She has been in touch, thréugh her children abroad, with world move- educated man. y _“I read you now an extract from & | Gaelic writer of centuries back that will tllustrate perfectly to you the black bit- in which the Gaelic| deep was the hatred of England inspired by the events of the times. It is the work of the Gaelic League to pass a wet spopge upon and over all that and to | create a new Gaelic literature that shall { be absolutely free from everything that | partakes of that spirit of hate. | " “Ot old Irish poets were educated in | special schools and bards flourished by hundreds. They sang the advantages | of a united Ireland as against the ad- | vantages of some petty chieftain, and so their songs stimulated national pa- | triotlsm. The effect was admirable. | These poets, too, effectually contradict | the idea argued for by some, that there | was not in those old days a natlonal | | war between England and Ireland, but | | merely a social upheaval, in which Irish | gentlemen warred with their overlords. | We see by the work of these bards that they wore themselves out trying to | urge the Gaels to combine against the | Gauls, which latter word is Gaelic for | foreigners. POETS LOVED MELODY. “The Gaelic poets were enamoured of | melody. and they frequently became in- I read you illustrations of this, showing | the desire and love of the bards for a | wealth of metaphors and such rhymes as were conducive to sweet sounds and melodious effects, without adding to the clearness or strength of the thought de- sired to be expressed. These bards of old, | too, believed that a rhyme of the vowels, without regard to the consonants, was or- dinarily sufficient. There is a story | of one Irish poet, who composed a bit of doggerel about an Irish piper, likening, | in one line, the noise of the pipes to a pig. The piper, offended, asked the pecet to change the line, and seriously suggested that the word nymph be substituted for pig, saying that the rhyme wouid ‘be un- Saturday at 11 p. m. and This Great Sale Will Be Past History ments and problems and thought of other Gaels lands.

MANUSCRIPTS SCATTERED. “We are hindered grievously in this attempt by the circumstance of our old manuscripts being scattered all over the world. What literature we possess, then, we really do not know, nor can we ascertain. There are, for example, Irish writers that I have never heard officers ats » of. A book of 100 poems was recently » 2 shown me, writen by a County Clare g . . s man, that I had never heard of. The ’ the comple he Probing | manyseripts of the last three centuries v e . 3 erce offi- have perished by the hundreds. “There is only one body in Ireland, an auxiliary of the Trinity College in Dub- lin, competent to purchase and husband such manuscripts, and funds at its command and purchases only moth-eaten vellums. There have been ma ripts of almost incalculable value fou by travelers in Ireland of recent years that were perhaps being torn up by children. One Liverpool merchant, fishing in Ireland, discovered that a trunkful of preclous manuscripts had been thrown into the river to make room luggage. One such manuscript dealt with the anclent Irish belief in the reincarnation of souls. Another such manuscript, kicked about in Irish houses, was discovered to be of such value that it has been published by a German scholar in an important philogical jour- nal. “Do not, my friends, blame the Irish woman or her children who ignore and throw away these precious manuscripts. Blame, rather, those who have taught them, in school and out, to undervalue and fail to appreciate the worth orsmean- ing of these old Gaellc manuscripts. There were no people that knew more of poets, more of literature, than the Irish, until their knowledge and love of such was repressed and killed by treatment accorded them and methods pursued in offering them education at the hands of another nation. “Despite the great handicaps in the seventeenth century, poetry and litera- ture flourished In Ireland, Keating's work, as_historian and poet, being per- haps the most in evidence at that time. He was of Norman descent. Forced to flee from the city in which he preached, because of a pointed sermon which 4l pvleased a lady favorite of a foreign Minister, Keating wandered in the hills, searched in old records, examined old vellums, and from his materials wrote a history of Ireland.

TIDAL WAVE SCARES RESIDENTS OF HILO Damages Craft in Harbor +and Washes Away Rail- road Track.

Then in a moment the water came shoreward and covered the floor of the old wharf at the foot of ‘Walanuenue street. The waters rushed up the Wailuku until, instead of the water coming over the bank, it flowed up-stream. This is the first wave of any size since 1881. The craft in the harbor were swung around and tossed and rocked about. A portion of the railroad track.was washed out.

C., Feb. 15.—The steamship Aorangi, which arrived to-day from Australia, brought news of disastrous bush fires in Nuow South Wales. The fires caused immense loss to farmers and others, practically desolating hundreds of miles of territory. Thousands of LORILLARD'S HEIRESS WEDS Mrs. Lillian Barnes Allien Quietly Marries at Home of Brother in Brooklyn Special- Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Mrs. Lillian Barnes Allien, heiress to Plerre Loril- lard’s famous stock farm, Rancocas, at Johnstown, J., was married quietly at the home of her brother, Fred 8. Barnes, a broker, in Brooklyn, to Com- missioner of Public Works George Liv- ingston of Manhattan on February 8. The couple left to-day on a honeymoon to Southern Georgia. Several times since the death of Lorillard in 1901 it has been announced that Mrs. Allien was to be marrfed to Livingston. The announcement of the marriage was given out to-day from Rancocas. When, years ago, Lorillard became fascinated with Miss Lillian Barnes, his attentions to her were so constant that they caused much gossip. Soon after it was announced that Miss Barnes was to be married to Lewis Allien. Many friends of Lillian Barnes never saw the bridegroom. The marriage took place however. Years afterward it was rumored that “Mr. Allien” was really a woman “in disguise, the wife of one of the laborers on the Rancocas estate, who had clipped her hair and donned men’s clothes for the occasion. The status of Mrs, Allien as a married woman having thus, as alleged, been established, “Mr. Allien” donned her petticoats and fadud into obscurity., Certain it was, the husband of Mrs. Allien was not known until it was re- ported that Mrs. Allien was a widow, Allien having passed away. Immedi- small animals were left dead in the path of the fire and considerable .stock was burned. About thrze hundred square miles were burned .over in Forbes District. Many deaths resulted from heat prostrations incident to the hot wave which caused the fires. The thermometer reg- istered 121 degrees for days. —_——— Villages Destroyed by Earthquake.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-—'!":& trustees of the Mutual Life Insurance Company are authority for the statement that the company itself unqu>stionably wil! bring civil suits against the McCurlys and members of the Metropolitan ageney firm of Charles E. Raymond & Co., as recommended in the report made by the Truesdale “housecleaning™ committee, but not yet made public. It is reliably asserted that while Charles A. Peabody, president of the company is awaiting a formal and written opin- jon from Joseph H. Choate on the pro- priety of the suits, it 1s already known to members of the board unofficially that Choate’s opinion will substantially sustain the recommendations made in this direction by members of the Trues- dale committee under the advice of their counsel, D. Cady Herrick, Joseph J. B. Dill and Bainbrfdge Colby. Richard A. McCurdy's friends hope he will go abroad abont March 1, or earlier. They say a change of physical and mental environment {3 essential to prevent his nervous collapse. Meémbers of the Mutual's board assert that, even in the event of civil suilts being brought against him, he is thoroughly responsible, and that before his depart- ure for Europe he undoubtedly would leave authorization with his attorneys here to accept service in whatever suits might be instituted agalnst him. —_— Hungarian Diet Summeoned to Meet.
