t THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, . NOVEMBER 19, 1905. ANNIVERSARY OF PATRIOT S DEATH One Hundred and Seven Years Ago Wolf Tone Was Sacrificed. ONE OF IRELAND'S MARTYRS Captured Aboard a French Warship Fighting the Cause of His Country, England Showed Him "o Mercs'. By Denny Lane. One hundred and seven years ago today, an exile, a wanderer and penni less Theobald Wolf Tone, the Irish patriot, died a martyr to his country's CBWoif Tone was born In Dublin June 20 1763. and died November 19, 1798. Originally educated for the bar, he soon grow tired, to use his own expres sion, of "a foolish wig and gown. ' and like many other of his illustrious countrymen, turned to politics. To Thomas Russell and himself belongs the honor of founding the Society of the United Irishmen. He became con inced that If Ireland were ever to be free the first step must be the laying aside of religious dissensions between Catholics and Protostants. He De clared: To subvert the tyranny of our ex ecrable government, to break the con nections with England, the never-falling source of all our patriotic evils, and assert the independence of my country these are my objects. To unite the whole people of Ireland, to abolish the memory of all past dissen sions, and to substitute the common name of Irishman in place of the de nominations of Protestant, Catholic and Dissenters these were my means." Political Creed of Tone. His political creed w.as "that the influence of England was the radical vice of our government, and conse quently that Ireland never would be free, prosperous or happy until she was independent." In the pursuance of his purposes, in September, 1791. he published a well written pamphlet entitled "An Argu ment on Behalf of the Catholics of Ire land." This obtained for him, among other honors, an election as honorary member of the Green Company of Bel fast Volunteers, an honor he shared with Henry Flood alone. He organ ized Irishmen of every religious per suasion. His Friends and Associates. He was an ardent friend of and as sociate of such Irish leaders as James Nappcr Tandy, John Keogh, Thomas Addis Emmett (brother of Robert Em mett), Henry Flood and others. In 1792 he was assistant secretary to the general committee that obtained an act of Parliament enabling Catholics to vote for members of Parliament, to practice at the Junior bar, serve on juries, and some qualified army and navy commissions. Although npt a Catholic, Tone's services were so es teemed by his Catholic countrymen that he was the recipient of a purse of 1500 and a gold medal by public sub scription by the Catholics of Ireland. In 1794 he became Involved with the British government and had to leave his country. He landed in America In May. 1795, and by his relentless en ergy, high abilities and magnificent patriotism he was on September 1. 1796, ready to sail for France, fully quipped withhigh indorsements that gave him the ear of the great Napoleon on be half of his country. Tribute of Xapolcon. Napoleon told-O'Meara at St. Helena that "Tone alone of all the Irish emis saries I trusted." The unfortunate expeditions sent out with Tone to the succor of his country arc too well known for repetition. On October 10, 1798, after a bloody engagement. Tone was captured on the French ship Hocho in Lough Swilly by the English Admiral, Sir John Warren. Before the engagement the French officers Implored Tone to make good his oscape, the Hoohe being in shallow water, the shore within oasy reach. Tone's answer was': "No. never shall It be said that I fled while the French were fighting the battles of my coun try." In French Uniform. In the uniform of a chef de brigade of the French army. Tone was about to bo placed In irons by his captors. Indignantly flinging off the uniform, he exclaimed: "No; fetters shall never degrade the revered insignia of the free nation I have served. For the cause I have embraced, howover, I feel prouder to wear irons than if I were decorated with the star and garter of England." Tone was court-martialed. He ad mitted all the substantial facts, and vindicated his motives thus: "Under the flag of the French republic I orig inally engaged with a view to save and liberate my country. For that purpose I have encountered the chances of war among strangers. For that purpose I have repeatedly braved the terrors of the ocean, covered, as I knew it to be. with the triumphant fleet of that power which it was m glory and duty to op pose. I have sacrificed my views in life; I have courted poverty; I have left a beloved wife unprotected and chil dren whom I adore fatherless. After such sacrifices in a cause which I have always conscientiously considered as the cause of Justice and freedom, it Is with no great effort at this day to add the sacrifice of my life." Requested Soldier's Death. Tone had one and only one request, and that was to die a soldier's death and "be shot by a platoon of grena diers." "I request this Indulgence," said he. "rather in consideration of the uniform I wear the uniform of a chef de brig ade In the French army than any per sonal regard to myself." This request was refused, and Tone was sentenced to a traitor's death within 48 hours. It is urged that in, order to cheat a verdict claimed to be illegal, Tone sev ered an artery in his throat and died before sentence could be executed. This has been disputed. Tone was a man of great gentleness of manner, kindness of nature, earnest disinterested, single-minded patriotism essentially a man of action. He was greatly admired by the Duke of "Wel lington. Goldwin Smith has likened him "unto Hannibal him of the lion's brood." The fact that Napoleon trust ed him with his armies, and after his death took a personal interest in his wife and son, is a remarkable tribute to his character and ability. His mem ory Is revered by all Irishmen today. Two Incorporations Filed.

NOTED WORKER FOR CAUSE She Comes From St- Joseph, Mo., and Will Deliver Several Ad dresses on Temperance Wliilc in Portland. "If the Women's Christian Temperance Union never accomplished anything for temperance, never saved anybody from being ruined by strong drink, the good It has done for the women who have up held It and worked through. In rounding them out and developing their faculties, that alone would more than Justify its existence." So declared Mrs. Calllo M. Howe, a noted W. C. T. U. lecturer, from St. Joseph. Ma., a guest of Mrs. Ada Unruh. SIDE SHOWING GULCHES AND IN THE BUSINESS DISTRICT at SS0 East Yamhill street- She attended the national convention lifeld In Los An gelos, Cal., and has come here to see Oregon and Washington. What It Ilns Done. "The organisation has servod as a groat educator for woman. It has developed and rounded out her life, and for the women who are In the W. C. T. U. It Is doing more than anything else. It is doing more than its organizers ever dreamed It would or could do when It was born. Public sentiment for a high standard In public life is more insistent today than ever before. Within the past ten years It has come to be popular to be a true reformer. Ten yoars aco It was not so popular. The type of such men as Governor Folk was rare then, but is becoming more numerous now. Only the othor day the Governor of In diana said he would not appoint a man to office who was not a total abstalnor. We fool this drift in the vory atmos phere. It is one of the results we havo reached due to the xmtlont work of 'such workers as are found In the W. C. T. U.t who at the beginning never expected to reach such results. Seventy yoars from now this work will show even better, for we shall have devolopcd fathers and mothers with temperance grandmothers and grandfathers, and that Is what we arc aiming at. "Why. think of It! Tho other day a brewery failed In business! A most un usual occurrence. So remarkable that a reporter was sent to find out how it kap- pened. 'Well said the brewer, 'the churches" are against me, the women are against me, .and my business has become unpopular.' And so the drift of public sentiment Is growing against the' liquor traffic- in this country. Mrs. Howe will be in Oregon a week, and it will be a. week filled with activity. This morning she will speak In the Sec ond Baptist Church, East Seventh and Ankeny streets. This evening she will doH-er an address in the Suhnyslde Meth odist Church. Tuesday she speaks In tho M E. Church at University, Park. Wednesday she will be present and ad dress tho W. C T. U. Institute, which takes place in the auditorium of the Y. M. C A. Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock Mrs. Howe will speak to tho par ents' conference to be held In the Sun nysldo M. E. Church. Thursday evening a reception will be given her at the home of I. H. Amos on Hawthorne avenue. Friday and Saturday she has set apart for & visit to The Dalles to see the-' A zap 7rAi tew la&d - by I w 4f "Gorge of the Columbia."

FOR EAST SIDE STATION Acting Chief Grltzmachcr Submits Figures for Cost. Acting Chief of Police Gritzmacher yesterday gave out a statement in which he said that the East Side sta tion, to be established shortly after January 1, would be -located at Third and Pine streets, the lot, station and equipment will cost approximately $7000 and it Is estimated that $9000 addi tional to that now paid patrolmen in the territory to be covered under Its su pervision will be necessary to operate It- for 1906. This statement Is In accordance with the 1906 estimate for the operation of the Pollco Department, which was com piled by Acting Chief Gritzmacher and filed with Mayor Lane several days ago. "I figured on a frame building for the station." said Acting Chief Gritz macher. "I think the city will 'be able to purchase a lot at Third and Pine streets, put up the structuro and equip It for $7000. Then I figured $9300 addl- LOW LAND tlonal to what Is now paid for patrol service on the East Side for the ex ponscs or operation of the station for 190C. Of course, tho figures arc apt to be changed by the City Council. If the Councllmen take up the project and favor It. they may want a modern structure and may vote more money for Its construction. These matters will come up at a later date." Acting Chief Gritzmncher's Idoa of a station for the East Side is one that will bo amply large, and whloh Is equipped with all the necessary para phernalia. A small Jail would be re quired, and a reporting system 'would have to be installed. Prisoners would be kept there over night and cither re leased or transferred to headquarters for trial in the Municipal Court the fol lowing morning. Third and Pino streets Is said to be the most central location on the East Side for the station, and if placed there it would be convenient for" bring ing prisoners across the Burnslde-streot bridge, and would equalize the distance of patrol-wagon runs.

But Five Hundred Dollars Needed to Round Out Third Five-Thousand Subscription. Portland's contribution to the relief fund for the Jews of Russia Is now only $300 short of $15,000. Whon the call for help first came it was thought that J10.0CO might be raised In this city, but there was little hope that the amount would run above that. So prompt and genorous was the response, however, that $10,000 had been contributed In less than a week, and the donations continued to pour Into the office of Ben Selling, treasurer of the committee. The total Is expected to reach $15,000 within the next day or two, and as the subscription list Is to be kept open all the week, it is probable that, altogeth er, more than $17,0CO will bo contributed by the citizens of Portland and vicinity. The subscriptions received yesterday amounted to between $450 and $500. They were mostly In sums ranging from $1 to $5. and a number of them came from without the city. Sympathy for the suf fering Jews has been spread throughout the state by the press dispatches, and out-of-town contributions have been on the Increase during the past few days. It Is noticeable that a large proportion of the fund which has been raised here has come In as entirely voluntary dona tions, without personal solicitation. Mr. Selling states that at least $3000 has been brought or mailed to him without any personal request having been made. The committee which has charge of the mat ter has conflned Its efforts to the Jews of the city, and will continue to do so. The following telegram from Lord Rothschild In London to Jacob H. Schiff In New York is the latest advlco which the committee has concerning the situa tion: "Russian catastrophe, according Jto de tails from Russia of today, far greater than expected; outrages, murder and wholesale robbery and Incendiarism In S4 towns, so the relief fund has a huge task to grapple with." Moved by the urgent need for funds shown by this message, the members of the committee will start out tomorrow morning soliciting from their coreligion ists who have not yot sent In subscrip tions.
