Before 1886 the Grand Secretary and Treasurer was invested with greater authority than the grand master, and in this position Eugene V. Debs, who served from 1881 to 1899, and Frank W. Arnold, who served from 1893 to 1903, were potent in shaping the policies of the Union.
In the early 'nineties, however, a popular movement took shape for the rescue of what still remained of the language and for its restoration, so far as was practically possible. These activities were mostly organised and directed by the Gaelic League, a body founded in 1893.
There are cases on record in which the keepers of these heders, the so-called melammeds, were put on trial for imparting to their pupils a knowledge of Russian and arithmetic. However, the most effective whip in the hands of the Government remained as theretofore the expulsion from the governments of the interior. In 1893, this whip cracked over the backs of thousands of Jewish families.
It decayed, having been too seriously damaged to revive and flower, and so enable us to see what it was, it not being in flower when found. Awaiting your kind reply, Yours truly, SEYLER. P.S. If you should send out one of your collectors, or require any information, I shall be glad to give it. One of the most experienced collectors, M.

When the frozen seas and ice and snow is all they can see from birth till death. I wonder what they think of the change to this dazzlin' daylight, and the grandeur and bloom of 1893! But still they seem to weather it out a considerable time in their own icy home. King Bull, who is in Chicago, is one hundred and twelve years old, and is a five great-grandpa.
Two months later Lowell wrote to Godkin, "The bound volumes of The Nation standing on Judge Hoar's library table, as I saw them the other day, were a sign of the estimation in which it is held by solid people and it is they who in the long run decide the fortunes of such a journal." But The Nation lost Judge Hoar's support. When I called upon him in 1893 he was no longer taking or reading it.
Its exploits are recorded in a Report on the Plague of Field-Mice in Scotland, made by a committee appointed by the President of the Board of Agriculture, 1893.
His chief interest was in new motors to make his airship feasible, and he taught Adams the astonishing complexities of the new Daimler motor, and of the automobile, which, since 1893, had become a nightmare at a hundred kilometres an hour, almost as destructive as the electric tram which was only ten years older; and threatening to become as terrible as the locomotive steam-engine itself, which was almost exactly Adams's own age.
For instance, in the Government return quoted in the "Economist" of September 30th, 1893, it would appear that, compared with 1873, there had been an enormous rise in the price of ragi a millet which is the staple food of the people of Mysore.
The development, again from the ends of a diameter, of a pair of similar objects was watched, September 19 and 20, 1893, by Father Fényi, Director of the Kalocsa Observatory; and the phenomenon has been too often repeated to be accidental.
