Washington Post: It was unayoiil able that'there should be some rpvlva of'the discussion-of the dutharsElp the celebrated "Kathleen 'Ma vourueon," in connection with the an nouncoment of the few days -ago when It was given'out to the press Unit, tho composer: Prof old and needy, living in Baltimore abject poverty.

But: the that Crouch was actually in want, an. lack of proof of the falsity of the clalii softened the argument to a nullitjj His authorship seemed to be generallj accepted; charitable contribution! poured In upon him, profits from the increased sale or the song were more liberally dlvide'd-wlthyhim and It is believed that he In com fort to the time of his death, upon an Income from what may be In the est terms denominated a plagiarism. There are persons yet living in Wash ington who were pupils of Prof.

Croucl away back in the '50's and who asser that they saw the manuscript music of "Kathleen Vavourneen' among tho professor's They admit, however, that this would no bo legal proof that plagiarism had not been committed. There nrc those llv i'ng here, also, who knew Prof, Crouch who know -that tho song and music wore beyond his limited abilities, anil who never for a moment accepted the claim of his authorship as having the least foundation. One of these persons is Mr. John Coylc, the venerable from 1841 until the deluge of changing administrations overwhelmed it, was successively reporter, editorial writer proprietor of the famous Xatlona' Intelligencer, tho chief mouthpiece tlic Whig party during the life of thai Important organization. Mr.

Coyle has aTways boon a close student of musica nffalrs, -and his estimable wife, whose memory is dear to Washington, was noted for her miagnificont voice, anc technique. It was with profound astonishment 'that Mr. Coyle heard years ago of the claim of. Mr. Crouch but sympathy for the man's nece.ssi ties prevented him from entering.

Into a discussion of the subject. "While Crouch lived," said Mr Coylo to the writer recently, "I refrained from giving tho accumulatcc evidence that would have destroyed Ills means of livelihood. His persistent of the authorship of 'Kathleen -made him In a genera way, tho accepted author and doubt less others who, like myself, aware of the falsity 'the assertion were kept quiet for a reason to that which closed mouth Crouch apparently sadly needed I( revenue which ho derived from.tlje "fraud, and world Is'not the worse for giving it to him, as his 'imposition in no way injured tho rea authors poem and music 1 "Now that Crouch is dead, however It would seem that justice should be and the 'honor of the composition where it honestly belongs; "The beautiful song was written by Mrs. Anne Crawford, an actress, pi the Dublin Theatre, was born in 1734 and died in 1801, seven' years bo. fore-Crouch was born.

It Is not known precisely at what date attained popularity, but It was written when She was In the zenith of her fame, about 1760-70.

1 "The logic of.this dispute is easily solved from the facts as stated, song was written and sung nearly a century before Crouch was boru, i three-quarters of a century, before to have composed It, in 1827. "One writer, in a notice of the deatl of Mr. Crouch, asserts that the words of the song wore written by the latter and! that the pretty lyric was upon n. story of which Mrs. Crawford was the author.

It is regretted that the report ot th convention the National Democracy printed by the Indianapolis Sentinel will not bo read by every mail who has over voted the Democratic ticket times gone by such a slur as the fol lowing, printed by a Republican paper would have called down the bittercs 1 denunciation. Tho Sentinel says of the delegates in attendance: "All wcr stopping at the best hotels in the citj and nearly every one had telegraphed ahead for rooms with bath rooms at tachcd." If a Republican, in 1 years gone by, had dared to intimate that Democrat would not be guilty of In dnlglng iu such a luxury as a bath, he would have been crucified on a cross cuss words, and to cast the aspersion that Democracy represented "the great unwashed" was as much, as a man's -life was worth.

CATS AS SOUVENIRS. Une of That Xnow to Imtopeodenca As a historical souvenir the cat is decided novelty, which comes from the sacred shadow of. Independence hall, says the Philadelphia Record. Sometime Ago people whose business took them through the historic old hall and the surrounding frequently saw a colony of common looking cats loafing about in. that vicinity.

All these animals could trace their ancestors back to ft couple of good ratters which had been introduced into the of the old htU 1 to depopulate the rodeata which' thrived and fattened ihere. The cate cleaned out the one nuisance, and came nuisances in turn. They were cared for and fed by a colored man imed Charity, employed in the sherifl'a office. When tie animals increased so rapidly as to threaten to overrun the place Charley conceived a brilliant idea. He decided to turn the cats into money.

He found people were willing to pay'as high aa one dollar for a cat born and reared in Independence hall. Ha soon disposed of all buto.no or two of cate. These few survivors were left in the haJl when the sheirlFs office moved up to the city hnll and took Charley with it. Smoked before tne liing. Li Hung Chang stierns to be but.

He is the young man. who writes the newspaper advertisements for a large mercantile firm, says the Detroit Free Press. He writes them well, too, and enjoys life as is the privilege of a man, who has successfully applied himself to his business.

Among a number ol friends with whom he was talking was one whose long acquaintance makes it possible for his to say things which would be resented from other persons. "It seems to me," remarked the friend, "that you are a lucky person." "Well," was the reply, "that is what the envious always say of men who a success of literature. I have no doubt that remark has been made of nearly every man who has worked hard and finally prospered." "You seem to take a rather serious view, of your calling." "I have to. It means shoes and neckties and bouse rent and three meals a day and lots of other little things that make life pleasant." "Still, I don't think it is very much to be proud of." "Perhaps not. I struggle with my self-esteem every now and then." "Well, this period of civilization has certainly produced strange demands." "That's it.

There's the keynote of the whole situation. When I reflect that I am making good living in an era when Shakespeare or Bryan would probably walk the streets in vain looking fora job, I tell you I can't help getting a little bit proud, and I might just as well own up to it." DANCING. It Warlike Slcnlflcknoe Among People! of All Dancing, with which word civilized people are went to associate pleasure and peaceful enjoyment, has had a warlike significance with various tribes of people throughout all ages of the world, and itisstill in vogue among the blanket tribes of red men in America. The famous Pyrrhic dance represented the overtaking of an enemy and doing battle with Mm.

Nearly oil savage tribes have a regular war dance, so that it is scarcely possible to select one as having more warlike significance than tho rest. All. the performers appear in fighting costume, handle their weapons and go through, the movement of challenge, conflict, pursuit or defeat. There is one very picturesque dance of the Katal Kaffirs which probably refers to the departure of the warriors for battle.

women appeal plaintively to the men, who slowly withdraw, stamping on the ground, and darting their short spears or assegais toward the sky. TRUE WHEN WRITTEN. Hot Time Brought mt Simmer Resort. I was attracted to a place in Virginia, near the Atlantic ocean, where the combined advantages of surf bathing and nh tbaence of mosquitoes were advertised, says a writer in the Washington Star. The surf bathing was there, but there were never more or larger mosquitoes than infested the place.

The landlord was a leader in the church and made a great point of bis conscientiousness, so I questioned him about the insects: "Mosquitoes worse this year than usual?" I asked. "Reckon not. They gen'ally bite purty sharp this season of the y'ar." "Are there always this many here?" "Erbout some gits killed, but don't eeem ter make no difference." "Didn't you advertise that tie place was free from mosquitoes?" "Sartin. I allus do, an' ef ther war a Dingle skeeter here I'd say so. I never lied yit, on' I never shall.
