The Original Vercloa Dates From the Time of Oliver Cromwell. , The lively strains of "Yankee Doo dle" are beard at every patriotic cele bration, says a writer in Collier's Week ly, yet perhaps few of those whose pulses stir at the sound of the familiar notes are aware that It dates from the time of Oliver Cromwell and crossed the seas with the Puritans. "Nankee Doodle" was one of the nick names bestowed by the Cavaliers on the hated Roundhead, and a verse writ ten upon Cromwell's entry into Oxford, riding on a small horse with a plume twisted Into a sort of, knot called a "macaroni,' runs aa follows: Nankee Doodle came tojtown Upon a little pony. " With a feather In his hat Upon a macaroni - The transition- from Nankee to Yan keewhich came from Yengee, .the In dian word for English was very easy. and the Royalists used It as a Jeer at all New Englanders. ' When the Colonials In Boston, pre paring for the coming war, smuggled muskets luto the country, concealing them In loads of manure, the Tories sang to the old tune of "Lacy Fisher:" Yankee Doodle came to town For to bur a flreloek; .- We will tar and feather him. And so we w HI John Hancock. When the British forces marched to the battles of Concord and fyeklngton their' approncj waa heralded by "God Sure the King," but When the ."Yankee farmers" saw the foe In full retreat the strains of "Yankee Doodle"' accompa nied their 'flight, and from that hour, wherever the start and stripes have floated, the once despised tune has been beard.

' ' ; ' - While Pittsburg and vicinity figured prominently in the early history of the republic, the -city has never laid claim any great share of the . victories achieved, by Americans In the war of 1813 because moat of the engagements . of that conflict took place on the wa ter. But, an Inland town and almost village, aa It was at that time, Pitts burg ' contributed ,' materially toward the notable victory of Oliver H. terry on lake Erie Sept 13, 1813. In Pitta-' burg, .were manufactured the ropes that were required In tho equipment of Perrara famous fleet This Was the first instance that has been placed on record of Pittsburg's having furnished the equipment of a fleet of war for the government, but since that time the Smoky City -has al ways held a prominent place in the building of vessels ot war. Those craft of Perry's, of course, were only wooden affairs, and the amount of iron about them waa very small. With the evolu tion in the construction of war vessels came also the development of indus tries In Pittsburg, so that now, by the manufacture of armor plate for Uncle Sam's ships, the city still sustains Its reputation which was started In such a humble way in 1813 by furnishing a quantity of rope for Perry's fleet on Lake Erie.' . The ropemaklng Industry was begun . in Pittsburg in 1794, and the first one to engage extensively in the business was Colonel John Irwin, a Revolution ary soldier. Who wes severely wound ed in the battle of Paoll. After peace was declared he started In the business in Pittsburg and at the same time es tablished the first ropewalk west of the Alleghany mountains. Bis place of business was located on the -site for so many years since occupied by the fa mous old hotel, the Monongahela House. Here, where since presidents, kings and princes have been entertained, the rope business was modestly begun. Colonel Irwin died not long after the establishment of, his business In the city, his death having been the result of Injuries be sustained In the Revo lutionary war. The business was at tended to by Mrs. Irwin, who is said to have been a woman of extraordinary energy and ability. Later her son as sisted her, and the business was car ried on under the Ann name of Mary as John Irwin. In 1795 the ropewalk was removed to the square bounded by Liberty o ve nue, Third and Fourth streets and Re doubt alley. The product turned out by the Irwlns was of a good quality and was In great demand. The busi ness grew, and soon It was necessary to remove the walk, to a place where more ground was available. Conse quently in 1812 the works were re moved to n site on the bank of the Allegheny river near the Point. Soon-after this last removal there came one 'day to call on Mrs. Irwin a boyish looking fellow who Introduced himself aa Oliver H. Perry. He said that ha waa building a fleet of war vessel on the shore of Lake Erie and that b would require a considerable quantity ot cordage to equip bis fleet Mrs. Irwin made a contract -with the youthful naval officer, and in due time tho cordage waa all flnlsbed and dcllv ored to Commodore Perry. Tho amount of rope In this famoui order waa not great compared with that which. la now used In fitting out our modern sea monsters of ships, bat for tho day and the place the order was a notable one. When the entire or der was. completed, Mrs. Irwin, who. though well up In years was still In terested In business and waa intensely patriotic gave personal supervision to tho Inspection and packing ot the goods. They were taken by wsy of the Alle gheny valley, part way by boats and part way overland, to tho famon bay on tho south ahorp ot Lake Erie where tho Impatient Perry waa busily engag ed la getting bla little fleet resdyfor tho coming battle which was to mean so much for tbo American cause. la a abort time tbo ropes were all fitted to their places, and tbo fleet set al. What happened at Put-to Buy oa that famous day ot Bmt 13, 1813, Is known to every American. It waa from one of, hi victorious ships, fitted with Irwin cordag mad at Pittsburg. that thft young com nod or sent .bla Immortal dispatch, "Wo sav met the obem, and they are our." , Perry and bla men aod hi stanch ships won. this notable victory, but the stoat ropes and good cords g made tVKia IuqaeM wiy to the Infant city ef nttibarg did thrlr share to, for when they were pot to the test they prvd that they were good !u(L I1ttborg Pre. . km n.T Wete Ulr.
