I Dr. Dot Jss iiyde AND TME Gaelic Revival TIIK revival of a dead language is j usually uo ui?..a ta?k. Those who arc s :ng to rev tabic the auoent Gaelic tongue believe that It is not J et so dead as to make this au impossibility. The arrival In America of Dr. Douglas llyde, the leading exponent of the movement, hag uttrucled special attention to its aims. Much has alreudy been accomplished in this direction through the euthusiusm of Dr. Hyde aud the work of the organ izations which have come into exist ence partly as a result of his exertions. Dr. Hyde is the sou of a. Protestant J clergyman, the Itev. Arthur Iiyde, ami lie himself has studied theology, but In stead of preaching the gosi>el lius de voted himself to literuture and scholar ship utid tu the work of convincing tin Irish people nnd those In other coun tries of Irish descent of the value of , the tuugue In which their forefathers ?poke. Dr. Hyde was educated at Trinity | college, Dublin, where In 18M he took the degree of bachelor of arts after au exceptionally brilliant undergraduate career and where he has# since taken ! additional degrees. Although he won 1 honors In German. French and Italian, ' It was the Celtic language which most attracted him, aud ou graduation, In stead of making the tour of the conti nent usually taken by young men of his social position, he traveled exten sively in his native province, making a study of the ancient Irish tales, songs und folklore of Connaught In this way he was drawn into relations of Inti macy with the Irish peasantry and rame to realize more than ever before the qualities for the expression of emo tion and tenderness possessed by the language of the past In 18S9 he pub lished a book of tales in the ancient tongue, entitled "Leabhar Sgeuluighe achta." 'Hie praise this received from students of the Gaelic language en couragi-d him to write "Beside the I'ire; Folklore of the Irish Celts," "The Dove Songs of Connaught," "Story of Rarly Irish Literature," "Mediaeval Tales From the Irish" and other works. Some of these books have gone through DR. DOUGLAS HVDK. several editions. In ordei to encourage tlie use of tlie old language of Ireland 111 1>< >tli writing and speaking lie lias written dramas in Gaelic and takeu parts in them himself when presented J on the stage. Personally be is recog nized as a man of great versatility of talent, for he is |K>et, playwright, critic, actor, divinity student, orator, journal ist, historian, linguist, translator, pro fessor, archaeologist, lecturer and folk lorist. I?r. Hyde is making a tour of the United States and speaking in colleges and before learned societies of various kinds. Owing in large degree to his efforts the movement for the revival of tlie Gaelic language in Ireland now tdiows some surprising results. There I are two main groups of the Celtic I tongue?the Cymric, represented by the Celtic speech of Wales and Brittany, nud tlie Gaelic, formerly more widely ?poken, but now represented by the Celtic speech of Ireland. Scotland nnd the Isle of Man. Scotland, with a j population of 4..HI0.0O:!. has not in the ! mainland or adjacent islands more than .'{00,000 persons who speak or un derstate! Gaelic. In Ireland, when the ?census of 1000 was taken. It was found that out of n population of about 4.">00, 000 not more than 700,000 i-ould speak Gaelic. This was a decline of 10,000 In len years. Tlie decline was due in part to the large emigration from the ?western province, the last foothold of the Gaelic In Ireland. Since then the current has turned. A few years ago most of those who spoke Gaelic in Ire land could neither read It nor write It The ry?tcn of education Ignored It. and pare:.;*. avious that tlieir children should get oil in the world, banished 1 It from their homes. The Gaelic ' league, of which Dr. Hyde was the first president, has done much to ' change these conditions. It employs traveling teachers and In many ways 1 encourages tl ??- ' jni: ge ' .. - . ture. Interest in the movement has ex tended to Ihe t'nited States and even j to South America. The number of schools In which the Gael1" '"hgunge is taught has ndvnneed from 100 in ? vri to icer Ii in 1!?I.">, nnd those ' *h- ci read, speak a"d write Gaelic j ' : : ? TO uJul uV i. .D_N RULE..

He took up story writing in connection with Journalism, and it was In this way that he brought out In 1U01 his most fatuous work, "The Thirteenth Dis trict," a stirring novel of politics. A few years ago Mr. Whitlock en tered upon the practice of the legal pro fession in Toledo. His interest in the j kind of politics represented by the late j Mayor Samuel M. Jones led him to supi>ort that successful reformer with enthusiasm. He was one of the most I trusted friends of the "Golden Rule mayor." When the latter dicsl the cor poration and machine politicians sup posed that the rule of the Golden Rule in Toledo was at an end. and stocks of public service corporations took a boom Rut Toledo had learned well the les sons taught by the dead mayor, and in the last election the novel writing law yer. who had Imsmi nominated on a : Golden Itule platform, rallied the inde- j pendents to his support and was swept into ollice by a large majority.
