MR. -REDMOND'S Rhl'l.Y.

Jr. Redmond, in reply, said: —I Uiankyo I most sincerely for tlie hearty greetingin 1 kind welcomo you have given to meon my visit to your city, which I hnvelhadIh i honour of representing so long. jThesireumstances under which I come hereto- day: -are peculiar. I come at the I endof a long series of years of stiuggle jandof controversy. I come at a pet rod whenVh t controversy may be said, 1 boptj. tobe over (hear, heart, and when the causefow which I nave been labouring, andwt ich-you sent me to the House of Com-m ns to espouse, has come to a successfultermination (hear, hear) . Under ordinarycircumstances a visit of tliis kind to myconstituents wou'd naturall y be the oc-casion of a great political demonstrationI am grateful to my constituents for hav-ing done me the favour of acceding to myrequest Uiat no such great political de-monstration should be held today. - Ihowe vividly befoTe my mind tlie last oc-casion on wllich I spdike in this city, w'henon.a of the greatest meetings ever held inth! South of Ireland sent me with wordsof encouragement, of hope, and of con-fid ence, ringing in my cars to what I re-ja ded, and we all regarded, as thejlastpli ase of tho political contest for HomeRi le (applause). And I remember sayingon that occasion that I hoped and prayeath it that was the last time I would evergol from the -City of .Waterford to the Eng-li/ui Parliament before the enactment ofHome Rule. Happily, our prayer on thatoccasion has been acceded to. HomeRale has been carried (applause), and allthht remains to-day is a certain matter foradjustment and arrangement. The mainbiutle has ¦been won. The cause hastriumphed, and, I say, all that re-muins for us to-day is to smoothen , outce tain, and, I believe, minor differences,and certain outstanding difficulties. ButI tonfess I would have been glad of apo itlcal demonstration here if the mattersU od there.

Mr. Montague] writing ' to Mr O'Shee,M.P |. from|Whitehal l.

withdrew it and promised to substitute aroad between Dungarvan and Helvick.The Council , however , abandoned the roadproject , without which Uio bridge schemelias never been accepte l is satisfactory.The Treasury accordingl y exprescsd theopinion (hat the utility of Uie bridgescheme is not proved. They hav e at . thosame time undertaken to jive£6,000 for theimprovement of Dungar an harbour, and(impose to hold over the birlance "of £5,000uni i l it is clear that tlie harbour worksenn be carried out at u cost reasonablyapproximating to tho ci timatc. So far:i> 1 am concerned , I can hold out no hopethat the Treasury will nodify this atti-tude , which seems to ui< reasonable, andwhich , indeed , received my official sanc-tion before it was exprcs ed in a letter tothe Iris h Government. 01 course, if thebalance does not prove io be required toromplete- the harbour wotk s, the Treasuryu i l l be ready to consider! further schemes(or its application , but tne bridge projectwould not be taken to fulfil the necessaryconditions unless the road were an in-tegral part of the 'schemer"

Mr. J. J. O'Shee thenl said, regardingMr. Montague 's letter , that the officialnote regarding their interview with Mt.l.loyd iieorge . though correct, was notsufficiently full. The (fhancellor hadstated that they would accept the schemeson Uie responsibility of (the Co. Councilprovided they coulu statid engineeringc riticism. The Urban Council had pur-chased the Cunnigar , unit he thought thoroadway on the Cunnigar J which was esti-nuited to cost in the (original schemeCtf .UUO. could be inade at a small cost.A* the Cunnigar had been acquiredby the Urban Council BIS a recreationground , the fences of the roadway, whichwere the chief cost in the matter of theroad, need not be built. (It was practic-ally only necessary to lc , el the groundand make a trackway 16 I eel wide. Mr.Delapp would give them in estimate forthis work. He suggested that the Coun-cil should pass the following resolution:—"That this Council , having an intimate"knowledge of the public improvementsmost required in this cou lty. adheres to, its repeated declarations i i favour of the| construction of the Cur nigar. bridge,which this Council considers is a projectof great public utility for the people ofthe county, and this Coun :il requests theTreasury to sanction the grant of £5,000already asked for towards i and w« reite-rate our undertaking to i> ovide tho bal-ance necessary to carry oi t the plans ofMessrs.

Mr. Whittle— It would be- a great thinpjfbut wo hav« not tho power, if all [the-schools in the citv were closed owing tothe awful epidemic of scarlatina. It I*,not only thi« 51 cafes in hospital but it U'all over the city. It .is very dangeroijli. 1

^d

interlere with them unless the Local Go-vernment Board like to close them. Th*hebuildings have to pass Government in-spection.

Mr. E. Walsh suepested tliat tlie cuard-iana miglu pass .i resolution directing trienttcntion of the Public Health Committeeto the necessity of closing the schools.]

AN INMATE'S WILL.21 O'Connell Street. Waterford.

14th October, 19H.Mary Hunt , deceased.Dear Mr. Mackey—The deceased wasfor a considerable time an inmate of theworkhouse. She died tl»re on the 20thSeptember last year. She was buriedout of private means. I understand somepersons believed that she died immenselywealthy , and I havo no doubt Sir. Cog-'grave, the Master, was under that im-pression, when immediately upon herdeath he sent me a bill for just tax yearsimaintenance. The fnct, however, is thatthe deceased was possessed of only a com-paratively small sum which she. fell, in

for only sixteen months before tier death.Sh& niade a will (the orijtinaj. Probate ofwhich I enclose for yorrr inspection), thesubstance ot which iB that after leavinga few pounds for Masses for the repose ofher soul and £6 to Sister Catherine for the¦workhouse chapeK she lelt ihe residue toSister -Catherine for charitable purposes.

Inconclusion I wish to draw the particular:ittcntio)i to the fact that this is not arase i n y < ; v i n g deception, for when the-(le-.'eused entered !tlii house she w.as thenand w-a f , as 1 havc j stated up to sixteenmonths ir.'Sm- her death. aLsslutelv itt*-

maintenance for^tl\e ,six years.Chairman—That IB; the cost to tlie rate-

payers and she forgot giving them any-thing. They weru not considered <it all.

Mr. Martin Power—I think. Mr. Chair-man, before leaving anything for charityshe should pay for her maintenance first.Before leaving it to the nuns to pay outin charity I think myself that the firstthing ¦Jie ought ' to - consider was thosewho supported her here. <I think the rate-iwyejs should have jthe first consider-ation.. '

Chairman—They should leave at leastlialf Uie . money <lii e, ! s.iy £50.

Mr. Martin Power—Yes. and give therest in criarity.

Mr. Donnelly—She left £6 for the(Mnuel."Clerk—There Is £0). outside of that. She

left £6 for tho workhouse chapel.Mr. Martin Power- ATjd the rest to the

niuis.Mr. Maurice Power*—For charity.Mr Martin Power—Who got Uie charity

I would like to know?Chairman—I would; ask Mr. Mackey to

forward a letter to Mr. Keane and saythat we. should be considered firsi in this.

Mr. Whittle—I think-at the 'bost wewould not have-any claim except for six-teen months. According to that lettershe only fell in lor ' the legacy sixteenmonths belore she died , and she was apauper np tu that time. If we have anyIet'-al claim on the money it, would ' l>eOnly for sixte?n months and not lor &ixyear.".

Chairman — WHS slu> always in the hos-pital?

Master—NoChairman—Mr. Whittle is right then.MJ-. Maddock—I non't know whether

he is or rioti. Chairman—We would be willing to ac-cept half the claim. .! Mr. Middock—1 don't know whetherwe ought to iorego any part of theclaim..

'¦ Mr. ^Whittle suggefted that the guard-ians claim the cost of maintenance forthe sixteen months after the woman re-ceived the legacy, or in the alternativethat they refer the matter to their soli-citor to see whether they hud any legalclaim on the money. ;

Mr. Maddock—There: is another ques-tion, whether she bad any power to makea will at all , seeing thai she owed, us £100.On. -what proundsj Mr.fi Chaiiman, wouldyou forego any part of your .'claim? '.

Chairman—On the ground that there isnot money enough" to pay the full claim.

It was ordered that the Clerk write toMr. Kearie stating' tliat Uie guJuxUins.were prepared to accept £50 in settlementof their c|«im. i

APPLICATION FOR LEAVE.: Dr. Maurice Shipsey, Dunmore East,wrote applying for a week's leave of ab-sence, commencing on Thursday, October15th. In his absence Dr. White had un-dertaken to do his duty.

Mr. Maritin Power—Dr. Shipsey is, Iam glad to s.iy. going up to Dublin toreceive his gold medal. It is a verygood thing,

Chairman—'He is a very talented younggentleman.

The week's leave was granted.MASTER'S. REPORT.

CAUTION

UpKIC ACID is a poison that attacks theweakest part first. A brain worker willhave nerve trouble or rheumatism. Astrong, healthy-looking person will boliable to gravel, or stone, 'heart trouble,drspsj or gout. I

Uric acid and poisonous , waste are al-ways getting into tho blood from yourfood and from the wear and tear ot thebody. But the kidneys filter it out andkeep the blood pure. Every twenty-fourhours they remove about 500 grains ofurinous poisons and three pints of waterfrom tho blood..

But when tho kidneys are weak , theyleave some of this poisonous waste in the'blqod, and it gets carried to all partsof the system. It makes you feel dull,heavy and drowsy ; your back is bad,your head bad; dropsical swellings mayappear in the ankles or about the eyes;you may get rheumatic twinges, lumbagoattacks,' or> dizzy spells, ' The bladderacts, too often ; there may iba sedhnent,gravel , or cloudiness of the water.

When the kidseys are ill , they Deed akldnfey medicine. Ordinary medicineswon't do—they cannot cleanse or relievethe : kidneys. Doan's Backache KidneyPills are solely for the kidneyB and blad-der. They relieve the kidneyB and urin-ary , system like ordinary medicines re-lieve the bowels. They take lout uric acidland other kidney poisons, ! the greatcause of stone, inflammation of the blad-der-and rhoumatism, nnd | they drainaway the accumulated water in drqpsv.An)Analyst's Certificate that the Pillscontain no poisonous drugs! or harmfulingredients accompanies every box.

!a all tlji ' unions arotmd substantial in-i reascs1 of solar}' had been granted to thedoctors , ttiul it was the desire ofimost ofihe ratepayers to havi the questionsettled satisfactorily in Carrick-on-Suirl;nio)i. 1 iMr. Thomas Bowers seeorided Mr. Sha-nahah's motion , and said in Carrick-on-Suir (Union Hicy had the best and mostattentive dispensary doctors in Ireland.They) all admitted that , and tiiey admittedalso that the salaries paid to the'doctoswere ] very small. If they gave Drj Walkera reasonable increase noj ratepayer wouldDbjecit to it. The guardiansi should showiomol recognition ot the flplendid mannerin which tbfir doctors do fneir duty tothe poor and to the ratepayers. |Mrl Shanaliaii—If Dr. ! Walker resignedvou ivould not get a doctor; in his pJnceit less than double .the Wary he is get-ling now. Dr. Walker is downstairs, and1 think we .-hould hear him. iTho guardians agreed to hear Dr. Wal-ker, and when he entered the boardroomihe Chairman informed | him that theguardians were anxious to hâr from himfhe gi-ounds\upon which he based hisclaim for un Increase of salary. ¦ IDr. Walker said his reasons for askingfor nr increase had been placed' before(he b>ard already about 114 timesidurjngthe pt st eight years. He would state themagain to the guardians, j When the pre-sent s alary was fixed the cost of a medi-(jal m n's education was much less than itif no ¦. When the salarjr_of the Portlaw(Jispensary doctor was first fixed the fac-tory ivas in full workingxhers, and theretyus a|good private.practice among thoseemployed in the factory.! All thut prac-tice disappeared with the factory.', Thecost of -living had gone , up greatly sincethe sojary wax originall y fixed. Duringthe pist few years his duties had beei.doubled a> a result of the Old Age Pen-sion Act and the National Health Insur-ance 4et. The great increasa in the num.Der oil bluck add red tickets alone ' would•show that. In 1908 the total numBer oftlcketf) received by him Was 700; in 1909,G?5 ; for the year ended March, 1913, thenumber was 1,079, aud for;the yearjendeo.March' 1914. 1.092. The increase' sincethen h)id still been kept up. His next rea-son for applying lor an increase was thatin all the adjoining unions; the salaryquestion had been generously! dealt withby tha Boards of Guardians,| as the fol-lowing figures would show:-*In CallanUnifinJ where they bad three doctors at£100 a| year each, and one at, £130; the>; have now four at £150 each, rising by £10eêry Jive years to £200. Un I Kilmactho-mas Union they had two doctors at £I0beacbi; 6ne was granted an'increase of £40,arid thb other an increase of £50 recently.The : doctor who got £40 jhad only fiveyearfl'- lECrvice , and the one who got £50only 7 years' service. In Clogheenjthreedoctor^ who had £130 s year each | havenow £{50, rising by £15 every three yearsto, £200. These increases were mad*retrospective jn all the- unions, and. herethe doctors bad fairly long terms of ser-vice. In Lismore, where'there were fourdoctors] at £130.ouch, they have now; £150each, rising by iriennial increments to£200. In Mitchelatown the doctors* B»-laries had been increased from £100 to£150. rising by increments to £200.1 InClbnmol one doctor, whose .dispensary dis-trict is f>\itside the union, but who has 20or 30 houses in a small portion of Clon-mif l Union/ has £50 a year.' Taking! thedispensary <JoeU}t» in Clonrnel 'Union, theflgiires Were, where they had three doctorsat !£100J £130, and £140, respectively, jthejhave now three at £140, rising by | £10every flte years to £200. In face of thesestatements and figures he thought he hada reasonable claim upon the guardiansfor; an ncrease in his present talary of£80, aftir his long service. | During the 17years' Service , he has . .had at. Portlawth<jre has never been a single complaintus Jo the manner in which he did his dutyand tha pockety of the ratepayers havealways been considered by, him, too, indoing his work. ' I iMr. Terry (to Dr. WaJkerJ—When | youwere looking for this job at Portlaw, Isuppose you canvassed for it? ¦ !Dr. Walker-I did. I IMr. T^rry—Ami yon were glad to get it ,I suppose, at the salary.' IF you arejnot«:itisfied|wilh it why don't you resign? 'Dr. Walker—I ( I resigned, I am sureyou would not get a man to take my placeat less than twice my salary. jMr. Mj V. Power—We might get a ladydoctor (laughfer). ; : jDr. Walker—She might come for noth-ing i (laughter). I began as an indoor, as-sistant in England at £70 a year. If youlooU at ahv o! tha mwlioJ i^riAr. «m> »iii

find that-'io-day there is no indoor assis-tant at IiJss than £200 a year; , |Mr. Hanly—That is on account of thewar) I suppose?. i . . -| •' Dr. Walker—It is not due to the war.It lias been so for the past! year and ahalfl The doctors will notl go for less,chiefly owing to the increased cost of liv-ing, and di a medical man's education jMr.- Te^ry said doctors are -very scarcenowj The Governmeht are looking forthent and have to send lady doctors I tothe war (laughter). They ,are gettinggood pay* from the' Government to go I tcthe war. j lf Dr. Walker was not satisfiedwithj his salary he< should resign. He Hashis fixed salary of £80 a year,.' wet or. dry.The hoor labourer , who has to| pay rates,has 7s or Bs a week , out of which he hasto pay Is B week rent and keep a family,and |now they aro trying to;add to theburden of his rates. He proposed tliat noincrease oj salary be given to; any of thedoctors, as they were all very well off.Mr) Blnnchfield—How do you make out.Dr. \Valk«r. that the Old Age PensionsAct lias increased your duties? : iDr. , Walker—Since tKe Old Age PensionAct became law an old person is regardedus a most valuable asset in ajhouse, andevery 1 time he or she becomes jill the duC-tor is! sent for. Heretofore that was i.otthe edse. If an old person complained it»as regarded as an ordinary.accompani-ment of old age. and the doctor was notcalled in very often. The great increasein the number of tickets is quite -nough.to prove the increased duty, j IMr. iBIanchfield—The old. people v-ercwell circd for before the Old Age pension'sAct came. i. jDr. Walker—The doctors in doing theirordinap' dispensary duly work the In-surance Act for the Government and -getnothing from them lor it. Mr John Red-mond stated in Parliament that the Irishdispensary system was so, perfect therewas nq necessity for medical benefits forthe coantrv. ' • ' !Mr . kV.

All tho otheidoctors will follow, and you will !« kepthere for the next two years iiscusiinjrtheir salaries. I • • !Mr. Foran—It is only the thin eni ofthe wedge, biit we will not let it let in. jMr. fiorris said they would; li»ve- to1

Ap-parently it jpnores the indi tputable factthat an undue percentape m iTiRhmni—rnainly of Nationalist Irishni >n—are fi fj ht-liiK Encland'.- battle on tins Continent,and that (in comparison with its impu-tation and with the population of <itc\tBritain) nn undue proportion of tlieWood of Ireland has been ajnd is beini:spilt in the cause of the Enipirc.

LAST SUNDAY'S DEMONSTRATION.One of Hie features most comWnted onin connection with last Sunday's Volun-

teer display .was the manner in|which theWaterford Battalion:acquitted themselvesin. the various movements before andafter the presentation of the colours.T3io trooping of the colour, bj{ a pickedescort or. eighty men, was a magnificentBiphJ., carried outiwith isuoh precision andattention to detail as to lose i one of .itswonted impresaiveness, and w&s . a sur-prisrai; feat for men to Bhort in training.The salute tmd march past y / er e also/movements which commanded' admir-.ation, and the gericTal consensus ofopinion amonpst the spectators was thatthe Waterford Volunteers were the besttrained in the South-East of Ireland,Much of the credit in connec tion withthe display is due to Instruc or T. F.Murphy who lias made a wonderful im-provement :n the Battalion for tlie -veryshort tinie since he took over charge ofthe men's military training.

It has been made perfectly manifestwithin the':last few weeks that the Irishpeople will not1 under any cridumstanoestolei8,te a '.split! in th© national forces ofthe country. The lessons of tha past havegone too deeplyj home, and Irishmen, it isnow apparent, are sufficiently Ikeea poli-ticians to [recognise that any (disruptionin the national ranks at {bis time of crisiswould mean irreparable disaster.

Donovan, M.P., ind h. J. KerBe,CTE., at the City Hall, Dublin , together,with the registration fee of 5s. This willensure for each corps a represei tation »ttile convention which is to put the forceon an enduring and democratic >asis andprovide a controlling body fitted to wiselyguide a movement fraughf. with iueh con-sequences for the future of our land. Thefirst number of the new (official journal,"The National Volunteer,'" is issued'thisweek,, arid a copy should be secured byevery Volunteer -throughout thejeountry,»s well as by all Nationalist Irishmen.Hibernians,[particularly, are exhorted to¦

become regular subscribers to {the newjournal, which , from what the publicknow of the editorial staff , will x foundworthy of tlie cause which; it will espouse.The new officers ' who have been electedin many places to take control of theVolunteers will \be found to b 1 highlycompetent men whose services in the pastjustify absolute confidence . being placedin their honesty, integrity, and c pabilityto dischargelthe duties they hav fe under-taken.

THE IRISH RACE.

Brilliant Lecture

On Wednesday night, in tlieTheatre Royal ,! the Rev. At. J.I'helan. S.J.. j of Crescent College ,Limerick, delivered a lecture entitled "TlieSupernatural Destiny uf the Irish Race."There was a large ajtfiiidwce in all par'sof the house , andj ffiPA ecture delivered by¦father Phclan ware an intellectual treatand was listened to throughout with wraptattention . I

The organising'work in connection withthe lecture was carried out by the PioneerTotal Abstinence Ussociition and the verylarge audience which gathered in theTheatre last night was a tribute to theirabilities in that ) direction and an indi-cation of th<:ir influence amongst thecitixenB. j

The Mayor prwided on tbe stage.andwas .accompaniedl by Mr. M. McDonnell .City High Sheriff; Very Rev. Canon Fur-long, P.P., V.F.. Aid. Dr. J. I. O*uUivan ,Mr. £dmund D.wney, Mr. Patrick Hig-gins , JJP.. and Mr. 1'. R J3uxrKy, solr.

The lecture was preceded by ai -shortconcert, it beingi annouueed beforehandby the Revd. T. ;F. Furlony that no en-rnrpq u-nnlrj he nHowod-

The first item of the concert programmewas a chorus. "The Minstrel Boy," by theMount Sion Choral Class. The Choir con-sisted of aoout 60 voices »nd they gavea most harmonious rendering of tlie item.Master E. B. O'Donncll refilled ''Kontenoy'in a manner which would haw done creditto a person of more mature years. MasterMcDonnell'* pronunciation and declama-

tion were splendid, and hie rendering of"Fontenoy " pleased the audience immen-sely and drew forth rounds of applause."When Irish Eyes are Smilinjr" was givenby Miss .May O'Keill , Ferrjrrjajik , whopossesses a beautiful soprano voice , and6ung the song in excellent style. She waaalso loudly applauded as was Mr. frankTwipg. Watcrfordfs popular basso, wliogave .".King Charles. Mr. Larry tivava-nash." the weU-know-n local comedian, keptthe audience in roars of laughter with acomic 80112 entitled "An Irish Jubilee,"and although encores were forbidden triecry for one from (Mr. Kavanogh was soinaistent that it had to be acceded to. An-other pleasing item wag a wins, ''TheKerry Dances." which Miss Annie Walsh¦rendered in a manner that left nothingto be desired. .\fcB*ra. T. J1'. O'Brien andJ. Power were heard to advantage in aduet, "The Moon -hath raised her lamp,"and Mr. A. S. Furlong, an old Waterfordconcert favouritej gave a «syrnj»athotu:rendering of "The Jrish Emicrarrt." MissBridie Kirwan âiij? "Tht Rosary " in apleasing manner, and the programme con-cluded with a elioros. • Let Erin Remember'by the School Ch*>ir. A special word ofpraise is due to the ImyB who comprisedthn e io-r and thpir teachers.

At the conctnsi(7n of the concert pro-gramme. Canon Furlong introduced theRev. Lecturor. TIUP , he naid . was not thefirst lime they hadHieard Father Pheian'aeloquence.

iFatber Plielan, who was received withapplause, said the' subject of his lecturethat night was " The Supernatural Des-tiny of the Irish Race," and to make thatsubject the more interesting lie would castit into two. or rutlier three,"pictures.

He said itvf as with very great pleasure ho roso todischarge a duty which had been placedid his hands, that was to propose a voteof thanks to the lecturer, to whom tlleyhad listened -with such wrapt attention.T)iey wore indeed very grateful to FatherEhelan for hia lecture. The subject waso:ie of surpassing interest for all IrishO itholics , and he treated it—as he alwaysd d any subject—in his well-known , elo-q lent and masterly style. He (CanonFhrlong) could see that not only weretl ey deeply interested in Die lecture alltl e time but they were delightfully en-t< rtained. They were charmed, as wellt) ey might be, by the magnificient out-p luring of rich eloquence from 'FatherP ielsn. They were very thankful to'F ither Pheian and also to the body atw iose invitation he came thore. theP oneers associated with Mount Sron..

Briton ana tbe SboneenI

TO THE EDITOa WATER70B0 NEWS.Dear Sir—Irish politics have given us

very strange jand wonderful sights duringthe stirring events of the past few years.To me one of tho most interesting hasbeen what 11 might term tha metamorp-hosis of the shoneen and the West Britonin Ireland. | Up to the time that it be-came evident tthat the Liberal Governmentni<eant to introduce and pass a Home"Rule Bill the "Cawholic" shoneen anaWest Union j*a» & more bitter enemy oithe Irish national movement, no matte rin what form|it was manifested, than theOrangeman or the Ascendancy Unionist>e|einent. Th "Cawtholic" West Britons'sneered and i-poffed at the Irish Party andut everyone jwho, during. the dark daysfrom the Parnoll snlit to 1910. poueht tokeep the flag bf the Homo Rule movementflying. During the term of office of theTories he ana his' relatives and friendswere rewarded by place and power. Dur-ing the Liberal Government's term ofoffice , from 1005 to 1910, when no HomeRule Bill was jin the air, he was constantlydenouncing the "rotten" Liberals andlooking forward eagerly to their defeat in1910, when he would get his reward in amajor or minor Castle job. All that timethe Nationalists; who tried in face of theblackest discouragement , to keep alive thenational spirit , were the object of theshoneen '8 and, West Briton's scoffs andsneers whenever a collection for the Par-liamentary Fund was instituted or aneffort made to organise a Home Rulemeeting. Messrs . O'Brien and • Healywere the courted darlings <if the shoneenjust because tney villilied dn the plattormand in the Prdss the Irish Party and theirfollowers. Then came the great change in1910, with thel Liberal Government de-pending for office on the votes of the IrishParty, and their assurance that theywould , during thii'r term of office , intro-duce and puss nto law a measure of HomeRule The metamorphosis then begon towork. Every lay we had accessions IDthe Nationalisl ranks of erstwhile scoffersand sneerers nt everything national-hangers on of the landlords and landagents, licker* of the shoes of Ascend-ancy , in fact cjvery class and kind of thedespicable "Cawtholic " Rhoneen. Thought-ful Nationalists viewed their- sudden con-version to Nationalism with grave sus-picion and conjorn. The appearance olthfcii mumes m lists M subscription* to tW

from £5 to £20 or more indicated thatwhat they coutd not gain hy a <*U-an na-tional record tney. would get by politicalBouperism and! bribery. Next we sawthem not only members 'but "head bottle-washers" of various national organisa-tions which a few years ago they wouldno more touch than they would.dine in aroom in which jthere would he smallpox.I saw a nuinbcf of them , with whose re-cord . as anti-Irpsh shoneens I was wellacquainted , on national platforms duringthe past year or two. and pu beholdingthem I could not help crying, in thewords of a onqe well-known Waterford-man ,1 "Alas, mj r poor country, how oftendeceived!" I bave also seen quile a num-ber of them announced , during: the pastcouple of yearsl -qB having got flue , posi-tions, mainl y through their short-livedand entirely opportunist connection withthe national movement. The supp le , sin-cere, old-time Nationalists have been com-pletely ousted f y these mushroom oppor-tunists, many of whom would pin backin the morning, like rabbits from a dog,to their old-time congenial anti-Irish nho-neeniBm if the Liberal Government gotdefeated and the chances of Hotne Rulelooked doubtful. They now, in many in-stances, boss t i e national organisations-in their district and make a pretty spec-tacle in their groat national zeal for thosewho knew them a few years ago and timeand again heard them mulisn and villifrthe Irish Party nnd every Irish .nationalmovement , and |scoff and jeer lit everyeffort made to keep the old flag flying.—Yours, etc., I .

At the meeting of the B-^rd of Guard-ians on Wednesday Aid..Ryan , D.V.C. , inthe chair, the Olerk submitted a list ofex-officio membcr3 for the year 1864-S. Inconnection with the lUt the Clerk an-nounced that he had removed the namesof Captain Dillon, Aldermen Carroll andDenny, in pursuance of |the terms of theCommissioners' letter > to him, whichstated that those returned to fit should beresident within the County within whichthey held their Oomni^ssion. CaptainDillon did not hold a Commission in theCounty, and was not . therefore, eligible.Aldermen Carroll and Denny, althoughholdinc Commissions for 'the Boronch . didnot reside within it. Mr.j Jacob expressedgreat concern at losing the services of suchguardians as Âldermen Denny and Car-roll , and moved s resolution statin? thatalthough these gentlemen did not residein the city , they had larpe premises inthe city and resided there by day. Theywere amongst the largest ratepayers inthe city, and the Board therefore bezcedthe Commissioners to re-consider (he caseas they vtrmW much regret the losf of twocompetent guardians who were , to all in-tonts and purposes. cifizrnR of Waterfordthough mostly resident at :iivhf n nn»rtdistance outside the city boundary. Theresolution was unanimously passed.

We learn that 'Dr. Thomas L. Mackeayhas retired from, the candidature for theoffice of Mayor, and in his stead CaptainWm. Johnson has placed, himself at thedisposal of the Town Council. We huvenot time to-day to enter into tlie merits ofthis gentleman for this important, office ,but we may briefly say no one ever filledthe post who commanded a greater am-ount of respect and popularity amongsthis fellow-citizens of all, classes. Thewidows and orphans of the ill-fated 'Mara'left desolate by that sore calamity willbless him for his labours in their welfare,iwhich rescued them from ipennry nnd thepoorhonse; and the liberals and Cntholics¦of iWatcrford remember him with satis-faction and admiration for his liberalityin the part he took in making the O'Con-noil monument subscription, when in itsinfancy, worthy of the city ; and on tl;eoccasion of tho deputations from Irelandgoinc forth to seek from Lord Polmersfonn Charter for the Catholic Ûniversity, he.Protestant though he was , rememberedwell the claims of hiB Catholic fellow-countrymen , and was amongst the fore-most in the deputations, »t his own ex-pense ami srreat inconvenience, to riwniton Lord Falmcrston , and at CambridgeHouse, his Lordship's London residence ,the gallant Captain, in our presence , man-fully expounded the views of the irreatmajority of the citizens of Waterford , andjif the Irish people in general. Those «rea few of the leading pointy which marked

his year of office. That tfify arc not M-iroUen is evidenced by the enthusiasticmanner in which, we lean) , he has beenreceived by the Town Council , anil th,fltho will be Mayor for 1863—ijvhcn a generalelection for members of Parliament musttake place—is a fact of which there isscarcely a shadow of dotibt]

| OCTOBER.I ¦¦

j

October ' arrived this year at a time ofsome trouble and uncertainty. Ht-re, i"okl Ireland , October , as a rule , in ou«u-rates the shooting season proper , for u.-Uioughgrouse came in on the I"2th August,grouse are not everybody 's perquisites,and, furthermore , nothing else i* avail-able during that month*'. September, inits turn , brings in the partridge season ,but here, again, there is lit.tlo else avail-able in the way of game, and partrid ge."in Ireland are, not just us plenti ful asleaves in Vallambro6a. October , though ,sees everything on tap. as it were ; phea-sants, partridges , grouse, and wild/owlmay be shot , >i'hile snipe and woodcockalso .come into season. October jsorseverything in going order , all guini< junciall wildfowl in 'legal season , mid. tlicre-lore . October i sn month dear to the heartof every gunner in Ireland. This ye.ii .all ths same, it- comes to us in a sort olchastened spirit, so to speak ; its entryseems accompanied by a sense of sadness,and there is a want of briskness about uaadvent quite foreign to what we are j ac-customed to. Kor October , this year , sadto relate , comes '.upon us at a time whenmany a regular ; snooter is—well , stillshooting for that matter, but at iheenemies of his country, (or which he hasno need of his customary £3 game licence.Yes, my friend? ,1 many of our best gimioshots arc handling the rifle this October,and not the shot gun. for (though not' atour instigation) Germans ore legal gaiuethis year, and are , as I write , tailing; asthick and fast on| the blood-stained battle-field as pheasants have in previous Octo-bers on the soft i sward of Ireland's de-mesnes and frame preserves. iNumbers of shooters will tell you thatOctober is the best month of the year , andthere is much to support their conten-tion. Generally speaking, the weather]isneither too hot nor too oold. the days nei-ther too short nor too long. A very earlystart U often necessary in mid-winter |ityou are going to hav* a good day. be-cause three or three-thirty sees the ad-vent of dusk and the cessation of yourshooting. Often have I been seated on anoutside jaunting car and a good mile outof Dublin when the clock struck five , on& cold December or January morning onmy way ib some shoot or other. The al-ternative to this was to go the night be-fore, which was not always feasible. Oc-tober, on the other liana , sees none ofthese drawbacks; :- you can have yournight's rest , a moderately early breakfast ,8nd still get to ; your happy huntinggrounds in decent- time. And Octobcisees everything in season ; in other words',anything you come; across you may shoot;so, long live October! (The most sporting shots you are likelyto get will be at any wild October part-ridges there may be about , and a fine birdis such a partridge. Pheasants are notat their best in this month, nor, indeed;are they usually shot till later in the year;when the leaf is off the trees. Still you.can get fair sport ! by beating up theboundary hedges and ditches that skirtyour property. For pheasants are greatroamers and wanderers ; they insist on'leaving the plantation? and large woods;and roam away, to the outl ying hedges—and there , if they don 't go off still fur-ther and leave your place altogether , theystay . So that sport round the boundaryfences and hedges is possible withouttouching or disturbing the homo covertsproper, and very good sport it is too. pro-viding always you (?o the right way aboutit . and drive the birds in to your ownland , not out and away on to your neigh-bour's. This yon dp by getting well onthe far side of every, hedge you beat (un-less you are trespassing by so doing) anddriving the birds inwards. You will getsome very pretty shooting in this way.just enough for yourself and a eoupli' offriends , one on either side of the hedg«and one at the bottom or end of same. Acouple of beaters do the rest , or . betterstill for this work , a couple of strong,lusty spanipls or cockers. Do not ima-gine , though, that the sport so obtainedis to be compared with that afforded bythe same pheasantsâter on when 'driven '

j and coming to you or past you nt some 40miles an hour odd. This last is the veryessence of the sport of pheasant shooting,though often described by inexperiencedgunners as the murder of seroi-tame hand-

Ijreured fowl; an opinion Uiey speedily(modify when they try; their 'prentice hand[at the job for the first time ' Anyway ,you will get such eport as I have de-scribed round the borders of the preserve!in October, but I fear a good few genial¦souls, will not be h«e to enjoy it Uiisreason, if . indeed', ever again. For mini'hers of the best ^nd noblest of our sports-Jn? countrymen me away doing battle forthe honour of "a fcrap of paper " whic hhappened to bear the sign manual andsignature ol the British Empire ' And thejuiddest feature of all this is the fu< t th, .,such necessity arose purely through thearrogance of one maniwhose exalted posi-

THE ULSTER FIG AND THEI YORK: PIG

' T" the Editor of " Waterford New.- . "

Waterford , Oct. 12th , 1914.Dear Sir—Concerning the article in your

i sue of Monday , copied from the currentnWiber of "The Farmer's Gazette," re theabove : it is extraordinary how ignorantof the real facts are those great advisersof the farmer , for theyj never seem to getaj iy proper account as ' to price3 fluetuat-ii'iK, or why the different breed of pig ipobjected to. Their whole hobby seems tobj? to still further arouse the already over-taxed suspicions of the majority of thefarmers in their dealings with the middle-

As to the large black.hog. it doesn 't re-q lire an expert to know that this breedis certainly inferior in' every sense ; anutliis can be proved by; any bacon eurer ,pbrk butcher, or oxporter. Also , thepj-iees as stated prevailing in Cootchill be-ing dearer than Dublin market quota-tions , and both usually :higher than south-ern prices: as only one|proof of this fulse-hpod , in Castlerea. C6. 'Roscommon . andCnrriek-on-Shannon . Co. Leitrim, wherep|g markets were held ;this day (12th Oc-t< |fn'rt . there were 70 per cent, of the totalsupply bought for southern bacon curers,vin., .1.200 pigs. Now , |these markets arepretty well up towards; the North , wheri)the railing would be much chea|>er to Bel-fast than to Waterford , Cork , or I.iine-rick- This does, not support tho theoryof such great prices prevailing in Coote-hill or the northern centres.

lln the Dublin market, for the past sixweeks, the average price was 57s. per cwt ,arid the southern price! was 60s.

JThat well-known term "blocking, asbeipg fostered by bacon curers, is a well-known slur of this "Farmer's -Gazette"toWards pig dealers. The majority of thePig Dealers' Association hold no brief forany system detrimental to fair competi- !ti6n, but very often , in buying pigs forexporting to bacon curers and pork but-chers at the other side, and also doinglikewise for opposing bacon merchants ath<Jme-,. they are the cause of increasedprices. No ' doubt the All-Ireland PigDealers' Association &Te not immune fromabuses, which they try to control , no morethan other associations.' But the object ofth e journal under •notice, and its refer-ence to "rings" to best farmers, Is tomake one around themselves, wherebythey will have to eat allitheir produce andHye stock ; and then their journalist won'thave afi7 Suspicions to; aroti?f\—Yours .

A special meetin g ol Carriek-on-Suiri Urban Council was held on Friday even-I in? for the purj>os<; of considering a re-port received a few days ago from Pro-fessor MacWeeney, . )ublin, on his analy-sis of samples of w W sent ,to him fromi the intake , rcs-ervoiV, and private pipe*in the town for bacteriological analysis.It will be remembered that previous sam-ples sent to Professor MaoWeeney wereunfavoura bl y Tenort^d upon. At. the sug-gestion of Dr. B.

Morrissjy (Maiii-rtrect).

Thi* following is a copy of Dr, Mac-Wttnoy s report:— IDi<b!iu , 2nd October,in view of the close similarity ol Ui«result* obtained it scams unnecessary toset them forth in detail as they only dif-fer on minor points. "Chey may be brieflystated in untechnica! language as fol-lows :—

A short discussion took place regardingthe position of the intake] wells and theFrnnrh Hrnin c nt t.ht» mmifitAm.

Mr Grubb said it was mportant toknf>w ox ictl y where the lamplcs weretaken from.

THE SOGAR-BEET INDDSTR

. \f <v\- .-uiil yesterday in the "WaterfordNews ." it behoves UK to move quicklyin the mutter of getting a beet-sugar fac-tory eet up here—if we mean to move ?tall. In the current number of the "Far-mers' Gazette " a London correspondent,speaking of Die starting of a sugar in-dustry in Uiis country, says :—"For yearsthe subject has been under discussionIt has met with many warm advocates ,but hitherto the capitalists nave fouglitshy. The threatened sugar famine ovf -ing to the war will , perhaps, add onemore les.son to the many this country isnow learning, nnd signs are not wantingthat it may be taken to heart. If any-thing is to be done next year it is high,time to. be up and doing, for factories arenot built in u day. |;

" Xext to the question of capital come«,that of ensuring ai ample and regularsupply of bret. iu fact tlie two things-are,manilehtly interdependent. In the ppi-nion of those well qualified to judge thebest and safest way would be for com-panies to acquire land and build tho fac-tories upon it. This would, of course,involvo genera l farming, as well aa cul-tivation ot the beet, because that plantcannot be crown 6uccessively on thesame soil ; but that should not prove tobe any real difficulty. I" If Buccess is to be obtained, thifthing must be done thoroughly and well,mid the farmers should have , a personalinterest in the work if carried out underthe present system of landlord and tea-ant.

" Should the wai unhappily continue(us we are told ou high authority that itwill) through the greater part of nexty«ar, it will be impossible for Contitnontal growerB to produce anything likethe required quantity of roots, and inthat case they might be grown in thes6islands for export at a good profit , evenif we failed in the meantime to build ourown factories. But let us hope that artCHrly move will be made in that direcjtion. for there must be much idle moneywnitiu? for investment." I

E Y E W I T N E S SDESCRIBES

CAMP^N INTRANCE

PRESS BUREAU, Thursday. 3 pJn.The following descriptive account, com-

municated by an eye-witness present withthe General Headquarter^ continues andBupplements the nan-alive published onOctober 11th of the movements of tbe-British force and the Fj-ench armies ;inimmediate touch with itl-i .October 13th.—From Friday, the 9th ofOctober, until Monday, the; 12th, so litttohas occurred that the narrative oi erenU'can be given in a few words. There ha»been the usual sporadic' shelling of ourtrenches, which has resulted in oat littleharm, so wel> dug in are our men. \. On the night, of tbe lOth! the Germansmade yet s> Tresh asasnlt, | supported hfartillery fire , against the faint vhicb 1ia*|all along attracted most o! their atten-tion. The attempt was again a- costlyfailure, towards which ouf- guns were ableto contribute with great effect. j': DetsilB have now been received of aaexciting encounter in m d-air. 'i: One of our aviators, on at fast scoutingmachine, sighted a hostile machine. 0had two rifles fixed, one on-either side ofhis engine, and at once gaVe cbase, bntlest sight pf his opponent amongst somoclouds. Soon, however, another machineappeared, which turned okitj to 'be a Geiman Otto biplane type of machine, whichis not nearly so fast as our scouts. Our :officer once again started Sn pursuit. He 'knew that owing to the position ot th«propeller of the hostile machine be couldnot be fired at when asterp of bis oppon-ent. At sixty yards range he firea onerifle without apparent result; then, lasthe pace was caryirng him 'aSead of his -quarry, he turned round ahd, again coin- -ing to about the same distance behind,emptied his magazine at the German. Xbslatter began at once to descend, a» if ieither he or his machine were hit. Shut-ting off Us «ngine and volpUninj to free ihis hands, the. pursuer recharged His nt»- ;gazine. Unfortunately it jammed, fctrt lie, -managed io insert four -cartridges and | to ifire them into his. descending oppontnt, -who disappeared into & bank of cloudwith dramatic suddenness'. [ When Ihe-British officer emerged below the clouds :he could see no agn of tbe other. He [therefore climbed up to an altitude !of |some 7.000 feet, and came to! the conclo- islon that the German must have come to ,earth in the F/ench lines. ' " ¦ | i

French airmen, too, have I been rexysuccessful, during the last three days.having dropped several bombs amonpt |some German cavalry and'caused eon- [siderable loss and disorder, {and having .by similar means silenced I * battery 'of Sfield hqwitiers. The German j anti-aircraftguns have recently been unusually active;from tbeir rate of firing they seem to henearly automatic, but so far they have nothid much effect jm reducing; the sir xecon- ¦nai&sancea. carried out by us.' ]

The general account ol the position 01the. Aisne already given i» I Incompletewithout some description of the line acts'ally held by 6ur troops, though it mostbe at once obvious that infdrmstton Cothat subject which It U possible to pub-lish is strictly limited. . It is tnsding odless dangerous, ground to depict the lifeled by our soldiers in tbeitMoches. Astriking feature of our lirjej to use Uieconventibnarfterm which so seldom ex-presses Accurately the position taken upby an army, is that it consists really ol a.series ot trenches,- not all 'ptaood along-'side each other, but some more advancedthan others,'and many facing in different'directions. At one place the/ run eastAnd west alonir one side of s valley, atanother almost north' and) soutb. > Vpsome subsidiary valleys here they line the'edge of a wood, and there they are an tie'reverse slope of a hill, or possib.ly along;a sunken road, and at difierent points fiboth* German and British trtnfhe* jut outlike pnnvraVnin into whs} Bight be re-garded as the opponent's territory.

Though both <siirles have mor«d forwardat certain points, and kithdrswn atothers, no very, important! change hasbeen effected in their dispositions, inspite of tha enemy's repeated! counter-at-tacks. Thess-Jiave been directed princi-pally against/one portion of Uie positionwon by us. But in spite 0-1 lavjahr e»-penditure ot fire, they have not succeed-ed in driving t* back. | | '.

The Diocesan Notesdeal with the remarkable successful ai>-peal to the parishes in county and cityfor the Belgian Fund. The editorial re-fertnees to the magnificent responsefrofn all parts of the diocese, graciousthough they are, are quite justified by aperusal of the list of .subscriptions , whichran ;e from fifty pounds ri ght down totwo shillings.

From various sources amo: I discriminating selection Ims beenmal e of facts about the life and charac-tenkties of the new Pope , giving vividpictures of his career from boyhood up tothojpresent day. The War nnd ReligiousRevival is dealt with in a very able man-ner , a series of authenticated anecdotesbek g introduced to prove that in t'tancethe anti-clerical spirit died when inva-sion commenced. The theme of thewriter of the article i» that the heroicconduct of priests on the battlefields mustcontribute not a little to this happychange. Tnles of heroism abound. TheRevl 1*.

In no place so spontaneously «R inthe great metropolis are Uie realities of \hegreat war so 'much discussed' and kp-preciated. and yet London is nov aown-hearted. ; The streets rive manjr signs I ofthe situation.: The Allies'' flags ireeverywhere displayed on prominentbuildings, outsidV and insidu of all thetheatres, the picture tmlacas. anil lh»-rettauranu, whilst the khaki-clad mili-tary, everywhere- in evidence, in motbrvcars and on foot, Attract interested atfen-lion.* Probably, however, the most con-vincing sign of the war is met"when, atalmost every step, we encounter thqi<epoor exiles from Belgium, whoi despi tetheir terrible experiences, continue .0show a bra«e front; and in this they arebeing nobly supported in the never-to-be-forgotten kindness that London hkaoffored to them , as it were with bothhands. . 1 . i ;

REFUGEES IN NORTH LONDON. i 'There are aboît four thousand ; Belgianrefugees in ¦ the Alexandra Palace, ilhaven't been up there yet,,-but] I havemet some of lite lady visitors, and thejrtnles of Gorman brutality, are shocking.I see some of the refugees now and againwandering about. They seem to-roe to bequite happy. I suppose they feel thatthey are safe from i further ' atrocities. JWhat seems to 'astonish them most isthat business pursue, its regular courrehere, that the theatres are-in full swine,and that there is no indication, either ibthft appearance of people or plncM. thaiKny land is engaged in the totigheit wartho world has ever known .
