In tho death of Standish O'Grady, which Is an nounced from Hale, Cheshire, Eng., modern Irish lltcraturo loses ono of Its most brilliant representatives. As poet, essayist, nnd historian, O'Grody's work Is generally regard ed as tho starting point of tho bo called Celtic Renaissance. ' O'Grady wna lu turn lawyer, 'Journalist nnd author. Ho was ft nntlvo of TIpporary nnd CO years old To repair the Bpokes, tongues nnd reaches of broken wagons, tho black smiths and whcelrights of tho towns nnd cities of Oregon and Washing ton used over -100,000 hoard foot of onk, ash, hickory, etc. Tho aver age cost per thousand board foot of this raw material was over ono hundred dollars. any sum less than ten sous. This 1b another indication of tha scarcity of coppers, which numerous collec tions for chnrltahlo purposes havo withdrawn temporarily from circu lation, and tho fact that since small money beenmo scarco there has been a tendency on tho part of tho people to cling to what they have. Some people aro said to bo hoarding cop pers because they aro afraid thoy will get entirely out of thorn, and others, it Is charged, nro collecting them with tho less worthy motive of making flvo francs premium on every hundred francs in copper coins delivered at certain confidential points. It is tho old story of the Germans trying to drain Franco of Its coppor. Tho real reason is thought in official circles to bo sim ply thnt tho nbaenco of gold over works all tho minor dendmlnntlons, copper and nickel, as well ns silver. The mint Is handicapped by tho mobilizing of some of Its mnchlnos for other urgent work for tho Nat ional defense and tho coppor coin age fell last month to 100,000 francs.
