LORD ROBERTS ANDWATKRFORD

Whe 1 a child of two years of' ageFreder ck Sleiih Eoberts was sent toAVaterford and spent some time herowith h,ia cousin. Surgeon John HenryReynetl, at Nawto\yn Park. ¦

Marj Anne Bolterts (a daughter ofiJohnRobert i) married a Dublin gentlemannamed Humphreys. Her daughterBridge I married Captain James HenryReynett. of trie 45th Regiment, A great-grandson,of the Marquis do Benet, aHuguenot landed proprietor in iangue-doc.

In tho Journai of the WaterfordATflun>lCKica£ Society for 1833-6 therowill be fi'und 'an article dealing with thodistingui shed family from which the latcLord liiberls sprang. The writer of thearticle furnishes an interesting genealo-cic3l table which starts with the namoot Thomas Roberts who settled in Water-ford City rir«-o jlGSO, and who is describedus "a Welshman of property and beauty. "He .'parried Sarah Bowies, a connection ofthe family of Heavens. The founderof thisfamii y was John Heavens , a Cromweilian,who became Mayor of the City in 16Mand enjoyed the privilege of coiningmoney or tokens. His tomb is in tlieProtcstnnt Cathedral here.

The first mention in tlie municipal re-coTds of a member of the t Roberts familyâccording to j Mr. Edmund Downey 's"Story of Wuterford") is to bo found inan entry for the year 1727 when to ThomasRoberts and John Graves was entrustedthe »»rk of building the gaor. In 1742the .scheme of Thomas Roberts for bring-ing a supply of water from Ballybricken

'to the Quay met with 'the approval of theCouncil. In 17-M it was "ordered" thatho should be {allowed " two shillings aday for his trouble in fixing tho City 'swaterworks from the time he was to haveanother former allowance." He is alsomentioned as (having made a Eurvoy ofsome property! of the Corporation situ-ated in the Liberties of the City.

The eldest son of Thomas was John ,born in 1713. 'When a young man he wentto London in order to gain experience asan architect, j Ho was apparently asso-ciated in business with his father during¦ the latter's lifetime. In 1700 the Mayor

lot Waterford instructed him to repair theCourt House and to put a " window frameof oak and other necessarys in the Southwindow of Christ Chiwh

Thomas Roberta—the second of thename—died in 1 1775 at an advanced age.Hia eldest Son' was by this time firmlyestablished in I Waterford and his pro-bity earned for him the distinction ofbeing known, as "Honest John Roberts."He was a good husband and father anda good citizen] 'Ho married Mary Sus-sanah, only daughter ot a Hugenot officer,Major Pwtneie Santelle. and by her he hadSJ-children The family lived for half acentury in the |old palace opposite ChristChurch, a lease of which was obtainedfor Mr. Roberts "on most favourableterms" owing !tt> the good offices of hisfriend and patron. Dr. Ohevenix, Pro-testant Bishop j of WaterfoTd. HonestJohn had also A country seat in theneighbourhood: ho styled it " RobortsMount. " He was a man of remarkableenenrv aa welliAs of remarkable ability.He was the architect and buiMer of th»present Protestant Cathedral, the Catho-lic Cathedral (formerly known as " TheBig Chapel"), the Town Hall , and manyother buildings', public and private whichadorn hi» native city. 'His habit, evenin his old -age, jwas to rise every morningat six o'clock, j One morning, in his 64thyear, he made a mistake about the hourand set out from his house shortly afterthree o'clock in order to inspect the workin the unfinished Csthedr-il in Barron-strand-street. j He- fell «sleep in theChurch and canght a chill which resulted(on May 23rd .1 1796). in hia death. Hiswife outlived hjm. dying on January 21st.1800. Husband and wifo attained each

I tho ripe «ge of 84. Both are boried inI the French Church, " with several ofI their children,! grand and great giondI children." according to « tablet in thachurch. j

By his will dated 10th Mardi , 1796.John Roberts bequeathed to JamesReynett . Attorney, and the Rovd. George| Floury, his dwelling house near Christ-

church yard together with his householdgoods, plate, and linen, for the use of hiswife during the term of her natural life.To his son Samuel he left £30 a year andhis country residence at Knockrotton.known as Roberts Mount , held by leasefrom Cornelius Bolton. The land* ofKnockrotton aiijeined the lands of hissecond son. the Revd. John Roberts.Rector of Kill iSt. Nicholas. To bis son¦ George he leftr'Tbc Uew.i ROOTDB near

I the Mall."To. hds daughter, Mary Anna[Humphreys, he left an annuity of £20.He bequeathed money' and house pro-perty in Waterfard city to his remaining

> sons and daughters.¦ The most Jiistrnguished of HonestJohn's remarkably numerous childran¦was Thomas Bautelle. At first he follow-ed the profession of his father but ulti-

' mately lie abandoned architecture forlanHarvme-oaintine. He resided for manyyears in London and exhibited at theRoyal Academy from 1789 to 1818. Sub-sequently he shifted his camp to Dublin.¦Somo of his best work will be found onthe wails of the Council Room of theRoyal Hibernian Academy. . There are

I some examples1 of his work in Waterford :I a particularly fine landscape was in the' collection of the late Doctor WilliamMackesy. and Mr. A. ,H. Poolc possesses

. some hurhly interesting and valunbe1 pictures by Thomas Sautellc Roberts. HoI appears to have been a roan of a igloomy'disposition. His death is said to haveI been attributable to hiis havng fallen off' a stage (v>ach and broken his fingers.

Deprived of the use of his hand, he laps-I ed into a condition of melancholy and' eventually (inithe year 1826) committed' suicide. As an instance of his ecccn-1 tricity it was stated that he ieft a willbequeathing ai small annuity to theyouneest child of his many nc:ces andnephews, giving as his reason for K>doinsr that he | was himself a youngeRtchild and knew what it was to sufferneglect. ]

In the Dubiin " Kvening Mail " ' twoyears ugo Mr . (W. J Lawrence , in thecourse of an article dealing with theWaterford family of Roberts , mentionedthat a daughter of Jlonest John Robert:—one of his 2i children—was, like lu\rbrother Thomas Sautclle , a painter pos-sessed of considerable talent. Mr.Lawrence thinks that this Miss Robertswas Margaret ,! who. in 1611 or there-abouts, kept a1 milliner's shop on theQuay at Waterford.

Margaret Roberts and Mary Chambers,who married 'Edmund (Kean , were life-long friends, and many letters of MTS.JCean to Margaret Roberta are in thepossession of Mr. Arthur Hunter, anUlsterman residing in London. Theyare most pitiable documents. Bome ofthem revealing to a loved and sympa-thetic .friend the agony of a wife who isin despair about her husband and amother who has lost her favourite chhd,others disclosing a condition of abjectpoverty.

WATEPFORD No. 2 DISTRICTCOUNCIL

A 6peclal meeting n! the WaterfordNo. -2 (Co. Kilkenny) District Council washeld on Saturday to consider representa-tions from labourers in the district forDie erection of cottages under the Lab-ourers' Acts.

MT; John Dunphj. and subsequentlyMr. P. Grant, presided , and the othermembeTS_ preeent were—Messrs. NicholasI'helan, Thomas Holden , John IWalsh ,Martin Walsh, Richard Healy. A G.Bowers , J.P., Richard Dunpny, JohnMooro, E. Donovan, J. Kirwan. E.Dunphy. Patrick Foskin . and MartinDermody.

Mr. John Mackey . Clork . and Mr.John Flanagan, Enginet-r to the Council ,were in attendance.

Thc-re Trere 150 applications' in all forcottages.

Mr. M. Walsh said that before theyconsidered the applications he wouldlike to know from the Clerk whetherho was sure they would get the moneyfor> the scheme if they decided to go onwith it. . He noticed tViat they would notgive the loan to the Corporation for thoerection of artisans dwellings

Clerk—The Corporation i s different.Thiis money is given for agriculturallabourers in rural districts , not for thecities.

Mr. M. WaUh—Is it got from thesame source?

Clerk—It may be from tlie samesource but for a very different object.¦They arc different bodies.-Mr.^M. Walsh—I think they would not

give it for any object.Clerk—This million of money is voted

specially for the erection of labourerscottagro in rural districts.

Mr. M. Walsh—We are quite certainof Retting it then?

Clerk—Absolutely certain.Mr. J. Dunphy—ion told us. MT.

Mackey. that you would make inquiriesas to whether we could get the moneycheaper or dearer*

Clerk—The money will be (riven i t3} per cent.

Mr. J. Dunphy—'What rale was itgiven for the last scheme?

Clerk—The same. It is exactly onland purchaso terms. These are theterms on which the 4J millions were gotand theso nre the terms on which theyare givirc the present million.

Mr. J. .Dunphy—Now . there if anothermatter. I think to-day when wp. areinspecting the6c representations that weshould consider tho respectability of theclaimants-âs to whether they would begood paying men and so on. Eoch Coun-cillor ought to know the applicant; fromhis own district , but the unfortunatepart of it is that we have not men fromevery district. 'Vie have no member herefrom the Aglish district.

Clerk—There is no excuse . They allgot notice.

MT: Dunphy—That ia u fact.Mr. Bowers—You would know the

applicants from that district , Mr. Dun-phy.

Mr. Dunphy—I will not meddle withthem. Let them fight it out betweenthem.

Clerk—A fter passing the applicationsyou. will hand them over for the pur-pose of niaTkins sites for the cottages toJie Engineer whom you will appoint andthe two District Councillors for theElectoral Divisions.

Mr. J. Dunphy—Are y<m going to ap-point an Engineer to-day?

Clerk—You cannot d/. that. You mustadvertise.

Mr. J. Dunphy—It is understood, ofcourse, that no unmarried men willset a cottane.

Clem—I would not advise you to givecottages to unmarried men. I think itwould be altogether against the spirit ofthe Act. The preamble of the Act statesthat cottages are to be erected for agri-cultural labourers and their families.Well , an unmarried man has no family.

Mr. a. .WalBh-^Would it not entice;inele men to remain in the country?

Clerk—Well , it depends on the bonaIdes of tlie applicants.

Mr. Bowers—They will have time to:et married befoic tlu< cottages aremilt.Clerk—Yes, hut In the coRe of single

nen applying for them I think it would>e against the law jo give them cottagesmless they intend to get married.Mr. Dunphy—I thought the moneyrould be given* cheaper than 3J per cent.

find dt is only the same terms as tlielast now.

TheRight Hon. Lord Templemore, the retir-ing director, being eligible, offers -liaitelifor ro-eleciion. The auditors, MeBBrs. H.B. Brandon and Co., chartered account-ants, offer] themselves for re-election. "'In moving the adoption of the iepi. itand Etatcment of accounts, the Cbai -mansaid they lwere happy to be able to con-gratulate the shareholders on the suc-cessful wdrking ol the company for theyear. The increase in traffic was as fnl-ows:—Pafcsengers , £52 8s; towage, tl5

17S 5d; total , £68 6s 5d. From this tlieyhad to deduct a decrease in freights 'of£44 12s 8d. leaving, a net increase ol £2312s 9d. ID addition, the expenses »ho«-ed a decrease of £33 18s 9d, and there u'asa net increase in profit for tho y>i.»r!of£57 11s 6d. The company were carryingforward a balance of £196 Us 7d aftersetting aside £200 and paying a dividendof 5 por cent. He thought no one coulddispute trie lact that tiiia was a greatimprovement on former years', and alsothat it wija very encouraging to (Tie di-rectors, us showing the way in whichthey had been supported. They had oneincrease from a new service which Kemight «ay they commenced as an experi-ment this|year ; that was from the half-holiday excursions ;they brought in j agood deal , of money, and he hoped Dun-;-anrion an 1 the other places around tl»>rewould CMI inue to.be us favourite re»&rtaas they * -re last year. Owing t.) thewot AiU' iiti there was .1 decrease in the¦receipts fx in Sunday excur.-Cons, but onthe whole they had an increase in pas-senccra. He really had very little moreto say, but he believed that they w«re allpleased Uiat they were able to pay |adividend cA 6 per cent. Of course it wasthought that philanthropic things couldnot pay, but this Company was startedreally for the benefit of-the peoplo of thesouthern part of County Wexlord and forthe traders of Waterford. It had un-doubtedly been a great success so far asthat was concerned, but if they wereworking itlmerely to pay expenses or «t aloss they could not continue the service,as they could not p> an basing, so itwould be lecessary in order to keep theCompany alive to have at all events 6omelittle profit. As he said before they didnot go in Hat profit making, but still itwas irratif rinjr that by the successfulworking of the Company for the past yearthey were fully justified in iocomm«nd-inc a dividend of 5 per cent. The steam-er " Duncannort was written down intheir booki to her value or almost beJowher value. She now stood in the book?bolow the value which they expected theywould be [ablo to get for her if sellingher tc-jnorrow. He did not think therewas any necessity for touching on »hyother matter, and he was sure that itwas a matter of congratulation for theDirectors that the year had turned outso well. He hoped they would have anequally goid year during the next twelvemonths arid a continuance of prosperityso that thfl, Company, which had provedof (treat benefit to the traders of Water-ford and County Wexford would be ableto continu* its works profitably. He hadmuch plea lure in proposing that the re-port and & atement of accounts be adopt-ed.

I/>rd Templemore seconded the pro-position, whidi was passed unanimously.

The Chairman proposed that a dividendof S per cent, per annum, free of incomeI.ix. be declared payable to the share-holders on Ithe books of the Company. Hesupposed uiey had no objection to that(iauchteri. I

Mr. Broomhead seconded tlie pro-pwivion, wnicn was aitreca u> unani-mously. I 1 ,. Mr. J. Heaxne, T.O., proposed the re-elrction o the outgoing Director. LordTemplemore, which -was seconded by Mj-.Parker, and also passed unanimously.

In putting the proposition the Chair-man sn:d (.hat Lord Tempiemore attend-ed all the meetings of the Directors andtook the greatest possible interest in th?Company.

In thanking the meeting for re-electinqWin a. Director, Lord Templemore said itwas his endeavour and alway-i would beto forward in every way he possibly couldthe intere.<5 of. the Waterford snd Dun-cannon 8t«'amboat Company.

On the proposition of Mr. Anthony, se-conded by -Mr. B Poole. Me.«*m Brandonand Co. were unanimously re-electedAuditoro. |

Mr. McCuf.'n.ch asKed would it not bepossible in[ the future to have tlie state-ment ot accounts printed And circulatedamongst trie shareholders.

Mr. Mcuullaim *aid he tlioucht thoy;Tni£ht li.vfp the .statement, of accountsprinted same as other companies did.They h«d nothing t» hide.

Tlie Chairman said the Directors h«<lnothing to hide nor any reason tor hidinganything. Tlie accounts were on the tableopen for the inspection of any share-holder. JMr. McCuIlash said he had rot TOT nmoment suggested that thero was any-thing to hide, and nothing was fartlnjrfrom his mind.

Tlie Chairman said it wn.; an unhappyword to use|, and the Secretary said therewas nothing .in the articles <>t Associationot the Company requiring the statementof aceountsfto be printed. :

Mr. MjcEu-llaprh saki there was oneOther mattflr he would like to Tefex to—nmatter which was spoken about » pwildeal outside, namely, the supplying <ifstores for lihe "Duncnnnon." The 6tor<iswere flt present supplied by Mr. Poole.who was Managing Director of tlie Com-pany, «nd jpeople outside -thought thatthis was. n«t right, and that IJiey shouldbe thrown |open fox competition as wasdone in the case of almost every othercompany. (He did not wish for a mo-ment to reflect in any way on Mr Poolcbut he might eay that people outsidewero talking about this matter.

, Mr. W. P|Oolc said that wheh the Com-pany -was started he was | appointed¦Managing Director and .he sdpphed thestores for pie boat at practically costprice.; in fact his firm had gained no-thing by itj but on the contrary he hadgiven a lot]of his time and trouble ' tolooking after the affaire of lh< Corhpan ,which no ojher firm in town rould havedone. Some of .this talk ri forred . tomight be prompted by trade jealously.

; Sir Williajra tfoff said that when he be-came a shareholder of that Company henever expeited to get a dividend, andthe only fault to be found with the pre-sent Board I of Directors was I that the;naa ivea mem a oiviaena. ror viareason he sincerely hoped that any! re-marks which had been made [would notbe considered aa In, any way, reflectiniton the management of Uie Directors.'Hehad neat pleasure in proposing that ,thebe«t thanks W the meeting be given toitheDlreotots far thoir management ot th4Company diirine the last twelVe monihslH«° not . only! thought that thei thanks ottio meeting should bo given ti:them bualso the thahk* of tho people" i .that por-tion of CounV W«iford which ithe steamer/Ksrved.;. . ¦ . . . •¦¦ , , j .

something of the -work •which Mr. Fueledid and had seen him up to lus %nees inwater examining the bottom ot the b.at.Ho did everything he possibly could inthe ihteresta of the Company.

Mr. Sell said he thought he -was oneof those tfho suggested that Mr. Pooleshould get an increase in salary for theway he managed the Company. Mr. "Poolehad said that he had made no marginout of what Mr..> McCullagh had referredto, but he .(MT. Bell) thought it was ogreat mistake that he should feel so much'about what had been said. He thoughtthat the stores oiight be supplied "¦ bytender, that tenders ought be put out inthe' usual way. He was , sorry that'Mr.Poole should have felt as ho had aboutit. Th& only thing ho (Mr. Bell) feltabout it was that Mr. Toole nhould havean increase of pay, and, as he said hewas making nothing by! supplying1 thestores he could not lose' anything if itwere taken from him. He thought thatif , in future tenders were accepted fortheso stores it would be far better allround from what ho had heard alxxit iti n (nwn. ¦ ¦

Mr. Broomhead said if ' tlie manage-ment was to be taken out of their handsin this way he would resign his positionas Director. He did not fee why thematter which had been raised should bebrought up at that meotinfr; it wis quiteunusual. If the Directors were notcapable of managing the Company letthem resign, but he for one stronglyobjected to the Temarks ', made by Mr.McCiillagh , and he would certainly handin liif. resignation if things were to betaken out of their hands in that way.

(Lord Templemore said! he would dothe same. _ ¦ : ! 1 , , ,The Chairman said that thft course theDirectors took about stores was onewhich they, considered to be in the bestinterests of the Company. 1 They believc-dthey -were getting better value from Mr.Poole than they could get el&owhere. Mr.Pooio was dointr all he could to reducethe oxpenses of the Company and theyhad perfect confidence in j him. As I/>rdTemplemore and Mr. Broomlu'ad hintsaid , if a slur was cast on Mr. Irolc theywould not continue to act ;as Directors'.It was more or less uf-ual iamongst theDirectors to give a preference to theManaging Director, and he ' renlly be-lieved they -were getting better valuo fromMr. Voole than they could get elsewhere..Mr. Poole understood the circumstancesand what- was necessary and the otherDirectors approved of all he did. Ifthere was a vote there on! that matter—.he did not know whether they w«Rild haveone or not—but if they had they <the

)irector8.) would certainly bid good-byuto the Company because j he thpupht itwould be casting a slup on the manage-ment. . i

Mr. McCullagh said they i should allowhim to disassociate himself fromany ideaof casting any slur on the directors. Ifthere was any slur cast it was not cast atthat meeting; it was outside it was cast.There was an old rule—and he thoughtit ought be applied to this company—that no man could serve two mastern. Ifit it' was satisfactory in this' country, hehad no more to say. He said >in the firstplace, that if Mr. <l*oole was to lose any-thing by the supplying ofi Uio stores be-ing taken out of his hands, they shouldmake it up to him by paying him ade-quitely for his services. | On the otherhand, if , as he said, he w»i making noDrofit out of tho stores, then h« wouldlose nothing. Ho wanted to protect Mr.Poolo from any slur , which had beensaid not by him. but jwhich he hadlfuirrt .

Mr. Poole said that he was in a pecu-liar position as managing director, as hewould have th» choosing of somebody-elso's stores against his own. And he -wasthe. party to decide it. For instance,somebody else might .send] in samples otoil, hU ewn was there also, and he wasthe person to choose between them.

Mr. McCullagh—I thoroughly sympa-thise, but the only way is not to put yourown good against somebody elne's.

Mr. Poole—We won't store the ship atall: that is the only way out of it.

Mr. McCullagh—I agree | with you.Sir Wm. Goff said he was perfectly

certain the -vote of thanks to the direc-tors would be carried unanimously. Hewas perfectly sure from his knowledge ofthe directors—the Chairman, Mr Poole,and the other directors—that everythingwas d»ne in the best possible way forthe company, and they would find it verydifficult to find any other directors to takethe work up and carry it bn HS success-full y as their present directors had done.

The Chairman then put | the vote ofthanks to the directors to th<» meeting,and it was passed unanimously.

The Ohairman said on behalf of theDirectors he had plcAsure; an returningthanks for the unanimous vote of thankswhich they had passed. ' He was sorrythis discussion came on because it wasmore or less a reflection ori the directors,and he need not say that1' tHo 'directorslad no other object than what would befor the best interests of the . Company.They gave their time to the business ofthe Company and they received JIO fees,nor had they sought any, I because theyconsidered that the satisfactory carryingon of the Company would be reward en-ough. Tiiey were aD interested in theprosperity of Wexford and ; also the Cityof Waterford, and he thought they hadevery reason to congratulate themselveson Uio success of the Company. Fromtime to time they may have had littlemishaps which was the CAUSS of greatanxiety to the Company, but they werenow- in smoother water and he hoped theprosperity of thig year . would continoem the future. iHe was sorry, if the con-duct of the Directors in - Uaking thesestores from the place they did did notmeet with the the approval of yotnegentlemen there. -As lie had said before,and he would aay so still, they were con-sidering the best interests oi the Com-pany in tho peculiar rirdumsltmces aboutthe supply of stores, and fitliey hud anyother motive in it he would say theywere not worthy of the support of theshareholders and their rear duty wouldbo to resign.

Mrs.iPoole—Theso patienU did not dieas a result of removal to Passage?

Dr. Jackman—Oh, no: they died in theFever Hospital. Some of; the, childrenwho came in had what you might callmalignant scarlatina—throat arid kidneydiseasw. ¦ . : ¦ ' ! I .• Chairman—Under the prese.nl circum-stance^ that fa a very gatisfictory ' re-port, i : i . ¦ ¦ . ¦

Dr. Jackman—It is satisfactory to-day. | < : i I '

Cleric—It is in the right uin-ction.Dr. Jackman—During thejconiirjg week

we will be able to send out a good manymore, 'so - we will probably' -bi able todeal with any that may come ih.

Mrs. :Poola—You have vaciintlbeds? .Dr. Jaekman—Yes. A good Aurtiy of

these children, although tHey £ame in¦with scarlatina, aro naturally doHoate.Chairman—Do you CnTak. they jwill want

Dr. Jackman—They are ' UIOBI comfort-able, I ! understand. ; I

Mrs. Poole—So I hear; and 110 stovesmake the place quite warm.!

Dr. Jackman—There is one {matter Iwould like to mention to tho Board. , . 1understand some of the parents! of iftesechildren go down to Passagoito See them.Ther* was one man, particularly, whowent down on-Sunday. Ot course he wasnot allowed in, but he pushed the nurseaside and went in and saw the child.Somo order might be made to) preventthat, ' i ; : I

Chairman—Anything you suggest.Dr. Jackman—Have they ' any man

down there ? ' ¦ | 1Master—They have. IDr. Jackman—Then he ought to see

that no: one forces himself, in tliere. ; Itwould not be right to have these peoplegoing down every Sunday. ;

Mrs. Poole—Mo ; and it would be onlyencouraging others. ¦ i

Mr. Martit Power—I. thint thereshould be n notico put up j outside thehospital that no person bo1 allowed inthere, i ¦ j

Mr6. Poolo—They might Bay tl: ey couldnot read that notice (laughter).

Dr. Jockman—I was thinking of ask-ing the County Inspector to ask |a police-man to lwalk about there on Surldays.

Mrs. Ppole said that she had (heard ofa case where a person who had. died offever was buried in Tramore laBt Sunday,and the: people opened the coffin to lookat the corpse before lowering it into, thegrave. She added that she .thought theepidmic: was decreasing now: |

Dr. Jackman—Oh, yes, evidently.Mrs. Poole—I would like tliit to be

made known. ' IDr. .Jackman said h& would see County

Inspector Hetresd about having a police-man sent around by the Pasa>ge|hoBpitalon Sundays in order to keep;people fromfrom forcing their way in there. [

The Clerk read the following.:- 'Co. and City Infirmary,! Waterford, 17th NoyJ . 1914.

Dear Sir—My committee desiiV me toask if your board could see theij r way toallow your officials to lend the fever vanfor transference of fever cases from thishospital! should the necessity arise. Adisguised case of scarlatina got in heresome days ago, and, of course, when itsreal nature became known : it |was im-perative that she should be. removed im-mediately. As there was no accommoda-tion in the Fever Hospital , we wjere com-pelled to send the girl home. Being re-fused the use of your van placed, us in avery awkward position , as it is ihe onlyvehicle in town suitable for the (purpose.My committee would feel greatly! obligedif yo\ir bonrd could see their way to sanc-tion the: loan of the van for transferenceof such '¦ cases should the occasidn . againarise.—Yours faithfully, j

! J. JJ HOGAN.Mrs. Poole—I think wo would be able

to do that. ]Mr. Whittle—Was this scarlatina con-

tracted before the patient went jinto theinfirmary, or was it aubsequen to heradmission? What does the doctor say?

Mrs. Poole—It was a disguised case.The girl's father told me that a doctorwas called to see his daughter .in themorning, and he did not attend cntil theevening.! She was bad, andi the fatherhad her [removed into the infirainry, andit was afterwards that the scarlatina de-veloped ,I and they hfitl to reniovi her.

XTf. Whittle—Was it her f the} or thedoctor thai ordered her to the infirmary?Was there any medical officer attendingher, or by whom was she, o'rde -ed intothe infirmary? If looks strange if a me-dical officer would have a ' pati >nt suf-fering from scarlatina sent to the Infir-mary. It sounds very Rtrangn that 'euclia case should be sent to the infirmary.

Mrs. foole—Tho father ofiln o chilatold me that he sent for a doctor at ninein the morning. . The doctor 'did notmme until 5 in thi evening, and the fa-ther took it on hirosejf to put tier intothe infirmary, not knowing what Ishe wassuffering from. Dr. Hogari took her in,and the next thing the father heard wasthat she! was to be taken home—that shewas suffering from scarlatinal

Dr. Jackman—I know the case now.The Chairman asked why should the

girl be admitted nt all without ja medi-cal man's opinion. He suggested thatDr. Jackman should confer j with Dr.Hogan regardni ft tlie ambulance, and thattho ambulance be given to ' the | Countyand City Infirmary authorities when re-quired, jIt w»s.ordered accordingly. :

The stimulants conpuroed dor-ing the w.eei were-H» glasses of whiskey,against 22 last year, and 32 pints ofporter against 6 last year. There was no>;winc (riven. The increase in the stimu-lant* is ' no doubt attributable to the

number of fever cases. Th* cost of out-door relief during tlie week in moneygrants by the guardians -was £34 13s.ns against :££34 4s. 6d. for the • corres-ponding'we'ek of last year.

enemy at Verhelsteegte. 12 miles west ofHulttontein , in the Hoopstad I district ofthe Free State , under Beyers, Wolhia-runs. Conroy, Meyers , Van Ransburg.Nc-sor. und severa l other officers. Theirstrength was reported at 1.500. but theyhad at least 1,000 meu. In tho ensuingtight the rebels were scattered over nnarea of 15 to 20 miles. Fighting com-menced on the right wing at 6| o'clock inthe morning, Commandant Hqll .'makingan attack. Commandant Botha 1' at-tacked simultaneously on the I left wing.The fighting was pretty brisk for a-'shorttimo , but it then turned into a rinarprunning fi?ht over a line of sir Weightmiles. Owing to thfr scattered positionol the reals on the day previous it wasfound impossible to surround them iKiththe . force at my disposal, and I had,therefore, to order a charge simultane-ously on the whole j line, to wRieh myofficers and men responded splendidly.The- fight was carried on over ji distanceof six miles, and then resolved [itself intoa rapid chase for 18 miles , when ourhorses became exhausted , and Ithe rebelssplit up into small batches inlall direc-tions. Tlie horses of the rebels ore ex<cellent. Commandants Visser land Hollremained at the stopping point to resttheir horses and continue the! pursuitduring the night. At the time|of wiringno information had been received fromthem. They should continue tho pursuitin a north-easterly direction from Nieu-whoutheld. So far ds is known at pre-sent, we captured 100 prisoner*, a largequantity of rifles , wagons, carts, ammu-nition, and horses, which made up theirwhole laager. Four rebels were killedand 20 wounded. So far as can at presentbe ascertained , our casualties were sixwounded. Although the losa in killedand wounded sustained by the rebels inthis fight was not very great, the fightnevertheless totally scattered and demo-ralised them, and the effect ori the dis-trict is distinctly good. Only two rebelofficers , so far as is know, halve falleninto my hands. I wish \o placeon record the excellent conduct of myofficers and men and tho way 5n whichthey responded to my orders. [ A com-manding officer cannot help J winningbattles with such men. The spirit of allthe officers and men continues to be ex-cellent. All are prepared to undergo anyhardships, and are determined to smashthe rebellion and will gladly per orm anyduties allotted them.

From the flag-staff on the Grand and floats the Union•lack and to right and left of this centralstructure are the two divisions of theconcentration—on the one side are Uiestables converted into " rooms" for about1.200. : and on the other are the com-l>ounds—for 9,203—fanned iby lines ofcanvas bell tents.

As-tie morn-ing advanced rain- driven by a freshen-ing gale didôot improve-tie.conditionand the weather grew worse as the daywore on. This- encampment [at Newburyhas engaged the attention of a section ofthe public press, and grave charges havebeen made against those responsible forits administration. It was thereforethought Jltting that an opportunity shouldbe sought for making, without any. kindof notice, or pre-arrangement of date, 'acareful investigation into the truth orthemise- of the allegations, jI spent several continuous hours with-

in the barbed wire fences forming theouter boundary, and I inspected eachseparate enclosure without let or hind-rance. | What came under my. notice willbe given with some detail. . i Whenever,in the ordinary1 affairs of-life » case i«eought *to be established Against any in-•dividual or any public authority it i»natural to ex' eet that the cBarg&s shallbear some- relation to the facts. Thereader1 w ill judge whether in this in-stance1 any such Telation exists. I hadconversations with men in the service-grey of the German infantry eoldier, andwith more than a score of :impriBonedaliens in civilian attire who have notborne erins. Therr answers to questionsdisclosed an Important fact, .-viz., that the"horrors" perpetrated on the near out-skirts of the old • Berkshire town ore oc-currences such AS are for the moat partunavoidable- where masses of men, main-ly strangers to each other, having sep-arate.wants, and widely varying interestsare suddenly thrown into close asso-ciation by the imperative need of themoment. !

It is about « week since Colonel O. 8.Haines, the camp commandant, was coll-ed upon to find food and shelter for anextra: thousand-. He-met? the- demand in-stantly, and- to-d«y there nit no- visible'sign of :inconvenient pressure, the onlything olmcrvabi* being that ihe- '" com-pound" occupied by tie» nf wcomers wasa little lent smart titan its j immediateneighbours. I happened quite; by chanceto turn in the direction of tho stables atthe time that the commandant, was be-ginning a round of calls. I was struck>y the relationship' evidently existing

between Colonel Haines and I thaw forwhose eafo custody he Is responsible. 8ol-djers and civilians greeted | him notformally hut cordially. No scowl dtiken-ed the face of any captive.! . ,NeitherColonel Harnes nor Major Firminser whoaccompanied his carried any weaponeither for offensive or defensive pur-poses. Both gentlemen have bad officialexperience of prisons, and the'eomm»nd-ent's name, is, if I mistake not,, asso-ciated with a. Teform which substituted"detention" for a.more rigorous methodof dealing with a certain class of delin-quents. The occasion of this round ofinspection was interesting from the pointof view of d ily routine. The Jcommand-ant'a method is to invite rather than re-pel approaches, and this soon - becameevident. The prisoners Tiomrnate theirown "captains" in the compounds, endone of their number, MT. Hermann, whountil recently was a tradesman at Clap-ton, was speedily engaged with jthe seniorexecutive officer in listening to anythingthe men had to bring forward.! The firstto step up I recognised afonee as a form-er reception room clerk at one of theleading Strand hotels—a tall , fairhaired,wcll-spokef» youth with polite.1 but ner-hapa lightly over-confident bearing. Heis the son of a hotel proprietor in theprovince ol Murister', an ex-collegian, anda member of the German Rifle BrigadeReserve. He spoke about his engage-ment to an English girl . " I: am veryfond of the English," said he, "end whilehere I would do nothing against theBritish Emprre, but"—(this laughingly—:" if I were over there in my uniform-well , it wculd be my duty to fight." Hisgrievance was that the- beef supplied isplentiful and good, but that he wouldprefer mutton & little more frequently.The commandant's Teply was that theration given is what has been laid downas suitable for prisoners of war, and <itis ample. The crowd; pressing round thecolonel became every moment larger.Some times, he was .told, the portions ofmeat distributed were & little uneven inquantity. "But," was the reply, "youfolk occasionally Sceqg) skwne ration* inreserve; and I understand you sometimesBell amongst yourselves?" " Yes, sir, wedo," was the men'B answer, and they re-tired apparently cftntent with the assur-ance that no legitimate complaint wouldbe allowed to p«s9 without investigation.Three meal« daily is the provision re-gularly | made, and the prisoners askedthat soup formerly given out for cupper

,!*Jiould be,restored.. U is supplied to. thepatrols, and it was pointed out that forth,e rest it was only a matter of makingarrangements for the;distribution.

The "captain" of the compounds in-crude business men, bank clerks, a fewwho have held confidential position?, andat least; one hotel-manager. They-under-take to maintain discipline, and I was as-sured the system adopted was i workingwith smoothness. Not one of them hadbeen suspected of spying. One of thebundle* of post-cards passing through thecamp post office bearing the [Gormanpostmark wns one- just to hand contrast-ing the conditions surrounding Britishprisoners with the alleged disadvantagesand privations of Newbrny. There wereallusions to electric light installation, tomodem heating apparatus, and 'to oilieradvantages with which the BritUh weresaid to be favoured. "lAs to this matteT,"the commaadant observed. " we can eivoyou fellows Hood boarded floors and first-claRS blankets, but v.e cannot tri-at y<tnto .feather beds." A call at the tai lor '*shon showed a staff workinsr sat hiehpressure on mattresses, and four blank-ets to each man IB the regulation allow-ance. The mattresses are paid for timeor piece, and are being turned out at therate of eighteen per day. The "rooms"into which the stables have been con-verted are spotlessly clean; each apart-ment is occupied by nine men for whomBleeping accommodation is provided, andthere did not appear to be any over-crowding. When turning away from thisenclosure I was accosted by one. ot thealiens who protested earnestly that hewas a Russian subiezct and had; got hisliving in this country too- many years usa photographer. It LSCCTWH to 1>OI acase, however, in-which the productionof a certificate of birth—now on iits way—was the one formally needed to. restorethe unfortunate man to liberty, j Therewere al«o nenr at hand & smalt group ofaged seamen who had served on; Britishas well as on German ships. These lat-ter were admittedly cases of hardship.A few other prisoners there are unquest-ionably pro-British. They have marriedEnglish women, they have had childrenborn in this country, and they ar.e fer-vently hoping for « Bpeedy return )o theirfamilies. ; I inquired of one of the offi-cials how the presence of these nien wasto be accounted for. . His reply was" There have been wholesale arrests, andif there is to be a change to the' Isle ofMan there should, be certain, releases be-fore WA mnvA out." ' * ¦

Hereabout thedwellers in tents had employed some oftheir leisure-time in markinc the canvaswith various devices, and one Austrianhad dignified hia temporary abode by thetitle of the! " Hotel Hapsburg." A meet-ing "CapMins"- in this part ot the com-pound made clear what matters there werethat in thto -view called for discussion.One of thdse was the treatment of pir-oels. | Delay in this department—and inthat of letters also—could be avoided inone way only, by adding to the numberof on over-burdened etaff.

[A sympathetic interest wasshown in all these cases, and the youngman from jGalkia brightened up whento!d that ihe interest of the Chief Rabbiwould probably 1»e enlisted in his behalf.A young eub-lieutenant asked to be trans-ferred, to the officers' list, but addedhastily that be did not want to be senthorns: A veteran wearing the late QueenVictoria's niedal for service in the Chitralcampaign expressed his surprise, simplybut . cone the- lefts eloquently at findinghimself in the midBt of a crowd of aliensand Oenaajn eoldiers.

THE DORCHESTERCONCENTRATION

Morvember 17th. 1314.The 'special representative of the

Press Association who visited the Con-centrati«n Cabrp for Germans at New-bury last week has now made n tour ofinspection of <he camp at Dorchester,and writes the following account uf nLathe saw there:-}- ' '

A visit to the prisoners' and aliens'quarters at Ducnester disclosed somepoints of con t if as t with the concentrationat Jfewbury. [it the Berkshire centreracinp BtablMj&re divided into "rooms"for nine occupknU. and tents are used toaccommodate, |in the cases of the betterclasp, five, ona in those of the poorer,nine pccupiiHU. At DoTchester oldRoyc I Horse Artillery Barracks, -wheretheTO are interned representatives of dif-ferent social Rradca, there are no canvascompounds—all are living inside per-manent buildings to be shortly supplant-ed by wooden huts, now in course ofconstruction. .

After an inspection of lioth enmps—Sewbury :ind 'Dorchester—it is possibleto give on indication of the general linc-pon which the (authorities are acting inthe treatment <oi prisoners of war andaliens. The officers enjoy some specialadvantages, and, within limits.' are pro-vided with ser+ants of their own nation-alit y. Their piy is to be in accordancewith the proviBjona-of the Hague^ Con-vention. This ImeaiM thai the rate toran officer taken prisoner ia equal to thatof the correspoiidinff rank ot the countryin whioh he is held. For instance, aLieutenant in trie German Army -wouldget the pay of a Xieutenant in our own.It is right, lioicver , to add one qualifi-cation. The BHtieh military authori-ities lack evidence of reciprocity inthis respect. When that proof U forth-coming full rates will no doubt be hand-ed over in all oases. Meanwhile sums ofmoney equivalent to half pay are givenout, and while- this arrangement holdsthe officers sre fed entirely at the Go-vernment experise and their quarters arefurnished for them. . 1 . ¦ '

Roughly, the Concentration Campscontain prisoners ol war, and aliens notcaptured in the course of nayal or mili-tary operations. I They arei as; far as pos-sible, kept apart The difficulty withthe aliens is principally that of the mix-ture of classes, and an attempt is beingmade to meet it by establishing a schemeunder which those who hav4 money atdisposal rrtay ;et somewhat better accom-modation,' and improved ieoding bythemselves discharging the necessarycost, ¦ ¦

At Dorchester the 9G0 forming theconcentration—it will be largely increas-ed at a later date—comprise many dis-tinct types. There are the soldiers, re-latively few, token while actively en-gaged in the field; seamen, forty prison-ers who assert that "they belong to tliereserve of: officers'; but 'produce nothingto substantiate their claim, caputored onboard ship whi> on their way to rejointherolours; ; German-Aroericanj,.; andboys token froni trawlers and drafted -upfrom Edinburgh} to occupy quartffis. va-cated by other jwisonera r«r>o»e<f to tlwIsle of Man.

Myfifteen years as manager for Dunlops <xathe Continent is now very useful to me,as I know Europe well and apeak quitea few languages.

(7,452) miles. The motor ser-vice plays a most important part in thiswar. Airnies and town* are movid bymotor car. The French have' no fewerthan 43,000 motor vehicle*, to many witheach Army Corps, each with their sup-plies and traveling repair shops andstaffs Te*dy almost to bnild a new car ifnecessary. It is a new arm ol the 6er-vioe, but it vill be quite believed that inthis Tespeot the .French are right up-to-JWA Thp Tonntr trn.in« are alwavs fullof work, Mr tne service is nrucn xwsevere for many cars. Take my! own car,for instance. Without consideration oftha distance coveTed, I have run my en-gine for days and nights practically with-out a stop of any importance.i and -ftc-'quently ovr/r roads so frightfully cut upihat I hove had to cover miles and milesupon first and second speeds,!

One night the Germans: brought a few thousand troopa forly-

MEDICAL SEik'iEFITS.. The medical question^ as it eflectaApproved and Friendlyj Societies is , atroublesome one, but it is to be hopedthat a colution of the problem will soonbe found;which will be!satisfactory bothto the Societies and their members. . TheintereBtsjof the .Societies would perhapsbe best served by the Incorporation ofthe Poor Law Medical | Service with aproper , medical service for certificationunder. the Insurance Act. The wholequestion I is one which I should earnestlyengage the attention 61 the Societies in-terested and an this connection it wouldbo -well to consider whether it would notbe well to have a Federation -of ApprovedSocieties] in Ireland. Tn England thereis in existence a federation or affiliationsystem amongst Catholic Societies whichhas been found particularly useful fordiscussing and coming Jto decisions onquestions affecting the interests generallyof Societies. Such a .Federation in Ire-land would serve many1! useful purposesand be of material advantage in con-sidering proposals having reference par-ticularly .to Catholic Societies.

GAELIC LEAGUERPpBLIC BOARDS AND IRI8H

I MANUFACTURE.At a recent {meeting of a local public

board the question arose as to what con-stituted an Irish-made boot—the materialand the making-up of which are Iriih, oronly one or other of them so decided, l'hoonly guarantee that we know of witn re-gard to the genuineness of an Irish manu-factured article is the Irish trade mark,which prevents pulilic boards from beingdeceived by »,ily manufacturers. On theother hand , we are aware of some- smallbootmakers , who have not permission touse the Irish trade mark , but who never-theless make boots on their own premiseswith IrUh tAitned leather. It wouldJ.-ltuinly be a hardship on such traders tobe deprived o£, contructs for Irish-madeboot.i if tho Iriih trad© mark was insistedon in the tender form ; and we fancy thatthe Council of) tho Irish Industrial Deivelopruent Association should grant theuse ot the Irish) trade mark on easy termsto those traders' who cannot obviously pay.as; much for it as big merchants. Weunderstood that all those public bodiesthat passed resolutions in favour of usingIrish manufactured goods had standardcamples of Irish material for the guid-ance of contractors, but now we find, ac-cording to the statement of the R.M.S. ofW'aterford District Asylum, that thsstandard sample, of an "Irish" boot ismade of German lcathor ! We wonder itthe German boot had the Irish trade markinscribed on itl

hers at the first practice of thri Hiber-nian Choral Class, held on Tuesday nightin the Hibernian Hall , when Professor\\\ H. Murray put the choristers throughtheir preliminaries. The class containssplendid material for choral singing, andwe hope to have the pleasure of hearingthe choir giving a display of their' vocalabilities before ! a Waterford audience inthe courso of a. couple of months.

DAVIS CENTENARY CELEBRATION.An interesting lecture on Thomas

Davis was delivered by Mr. W. O'LcaryCurtis at a crowded meeting of the Na-tional Litera ry (Society, Dublin, on Mon-day night. Dr. (Sigerson presiding. Insupporting a vote of thanks to tne lec-turer , Mr. Edward Martyu said that forIrish Nationalists the best guide underall circumstances was Davis. What theywanted in Ireland was education onproper Irish lines. Of all their educatorsat present, one was worse than theother. jINTOLERANCE OF TRINITY

COLLEGE.Trinity College has given another exhi-

biton of its hostility towards the Nationalaspirations of the Irish people by thesuppression of | the Gaelic Society at-tached to ihe College. The reason allegedtor; this latest act of intolerance is that aprQmineht member of the Gaelic Leacuewjjb does not subscribe to the propositionthat Ireland should send more thanher proportionate share of men to thefront , was amongst the list of speakers in-vited to deliver 'addre.-6e3 at the inauguralmeeting of Session 1914-15 of tbe TrinityCollege Gaelic Society. The anti-Irishsp(rit of Mahaffy appears to have tho-roughly impressed itself on the personnelof | the Board of Trinity College. Accord-ing to Dr. Mahaffy, the fiaelic movement,taken as a whole, is a childish and fac-titious movement , merely a plaything forthe people invented by rebels who aretrying to foment anti-British feeling and' to accentuate the separation between Ire-land and England , and who know thatHome Rule is ojnly a question of time pro-vided they can nourish separation in sen-timent and revive the hitherto decreasingsense of contrast in race by establishingcontrast in language.

GARLIC LEAGUE AND TEMPRANCE.In our "Catholic Chronicle" in page 8

there is a note about a concert to be givenin ithe Temperance Hall. Tho GaelicLeague claims '.temperance as one of itsallies, and outside of the purely temper-ance societies | there i» no organisationthat has done so much constructive -workfor the cause of a sober Ireland. ' It isinteresting to note that in the early daysof the Gaelic Lengue movement in Water-lord one of the]finest Irish classes in thecity was conducted in the TemperanceHall. The class was taught by a memberof the local branch of the Gaelic Leaguewho was a non-native speaker but an on-tlVusiastic teacher of Irish . Some nativespeakers, it seems, were allowed to attendtho class, and they were in tho habit ofairing their dogmatic views and hecklingthe teacher at întervals during the les-sons, with the result that teacher and pu-pils got their ; bucks up and asked thocommittee of the Hall to draw off thenative speakers'. The request was notcomplied with: I the cluss fizzled out, andthe, native speakers were left alone intliuir glory ! i

GERMANS { I X CARRICK-ON-J SUIR

That Carrick-on-Suir was onco famousfor tin1 quality j»f its woollen manufac-tures is pretty well k nown, and quite nlarge number of elderl y Carrick folkrecollect the existence of the woollen in-dustry in its declining days in Carrick-beg and Carrick-on-Suir. It will, doubt-less, be of interest just now to learn thatthe world-renowned ?k;!l attained by thewool Hpinnera of Carrick was due to Ger-man training. The Government of iKingJames I. , anxious to stimulate and im-prove the manufacture of woollen coodsvoted a sum of fSJ .OOO towards the estub-lislimcnt of a colony of German (Palatin-ates at Carriek-Kjn-Suir. After the coin-ing! of the Gorman workers to Carrick aniurvellous improvement* was .shown inthel patterns andi appearancu of the cloths.Markets for tho; goods wore secured inEngland and iri numerous Continentalcentres, and very lnrge quantities wereshipped to the different port?*.

The current number ot tho Journal oithu Cork Histonicul ui\d ArchaeologicalSociety opens with a biographicul sketchby Dr. 'i'hilipG. Lee of the Society's latePresident, Mr. Robert Day, who recentlypa^spd away at the ago of 79 years. Whentho Most Kevd. Dr. Shechun (who was•elected first President in 1891) was ap-pointed lliishop of Waterford he was euc-•cceded in the presidential chuir of theSociety by Mr. Day. The Journal says :"Tho Most Rev. Dr. fiheelian plantedand Mr. Day has watered and tendedwell the Society ever since."

Dr. Lee continues his valuable "Noteson Some Castles of Mid-Cork." Thefirst instalment of an account of thecareer of "Colonel cPhaire, the liesicide,"a very remarkable personage who nour-ished in the latter half of thu 17th cmi-tury end "Ihe Pipe Roll of Cloyne" arecontinued.

J; C. supplies a very intercatinR ac-count of throe Catholic Bishops of Cork-John Poston, who was oonsocrated tnRome in M25; .Robert Barry, wlu> wasconsecrated by tho Papul Nuncio,Rinuccini. at Waterford , m 1648, andJohn Butler, who was consecrated in1763. Tlie last named was the famousecclesiastic who became Lord Dunboynein 1786 and resigned hie bishopric. Hewas at . the time of his resignation oven70 years of age. He applied to PopePius VI. for a dispensation to marry, anapplication which His Holiness iejected>His Lordship thereupon married a younxcousin of his and became a Protestant.Ho died in 1800. On his death-bed hesent for Dr. Gahan, an AugustinianFriar, and was reconciled to the Church.His widow survived him and lived to theage of 06. Lord Dunboyne left his Dun-boync estate to Maynooth Collets lor theeducation of Catholic youths intendedfor the priesthood. The bequest wasdisputed in 4807 on similar groundsraised against the charitable bequest ofMaryi Merry of Waterford ' about thesame . time. In the Dunboyne case itwas urged that according to the PenalLaws; "anyone relapsing into Poperyfrom the Protestant religion was deprivedof the benefit of tho law made in favourof Roman Catholics." A compromise wasarrived at and the Income of the Dun-boyne estate, valued at £1 ,000 a year,was arranged to be divided as to onehalf to the hair at law and one half toMaynooth College.

SOME NEW BOOKS

It is just two years ago nince Mr.James Stephens, a gifted Irish writer,came to the front with abound throughhia " Crock of Gold" which was declaredby all the principal reviewers to be thebook of the s«ason , and «u awarded aspecial prize offered for the best work ofits kind. To those who had been leadinghis story of " The Charwoman's Daugh-ter" in tho "'Irish Review," and who hadenjoyed his charming vrrsei in that andother periodicals, the tame that was" thrust upon him" wa* not altogether asurprise The " Crock of Gold" wasauickly followed by " Hor« are Lsdie»,"the quality and popularity of which WAStestified to by tho fact that a few monthsafter its first appearance it had run intoi third edition. The announcement that\ new volume based somewhat on theattractively fantastic lines of the "Crockof Gold" was in the press was receivedwith pleasurable anticipation by Mr.Stephens' numerous admirers both in[TeUni and England. The new book hasiust.been issued by Messrs MacMlltan ofxmdon, who als* published the othervorks named above. It's title is " TheDemi-Gods." From beginninR to end. its full of what we may term Stephain-Btns-^n style, metaphor, aphorisms, de-icriptive power, and the unique philo-»phy of life whichl is tho chief charm>! Mr. Stephens' very unique books. An[Tish teacher, his daughter, their ass and:hree angels that appear to them an theyire rcn&ling some potatoes at a roadsideke are all the "charscteM" the book;ontains. Mr. Stephens has made hisLinkers mo«t attractive folk, full ot atiuman interest, a Boltheartedness, and astrange world outlook , tbe average mannever give travelling tinkers crMit for,but which all who have studied .themjloeely and sympathetically know theypossess. For what happened in theirourneys, accompanied by tho ousels,"innun , Caeltra, and Art, we refer .theeader to the "Demi-Cods." No- mereeviewer 'a summary of th«ir charmingdi8-ourses and strange adventures could doinythins approaching justice to such aharminc book.

——*—¦

i !from tho "iNewa" file for November 16th,

MM), f ,

As will be seen ty the report elsewhere,tha Harbour -Conimissioners, at • theirlast, meeting had under counBidiratiort amatter of |the greatest.importance to tlieentire Watcrlord public—namely, : tlieexpenditure of a sum ot money approxi-mating to £20,000, for the improvementof the navigation of . our river. "Morethan a year ago, the Bubject ol deepen-ing, the Ford was seriously entered on bythe Commissioners, and Mr. AbrahamStephens, !of Duneunnon, having been in-structed by the Board, made a survey jof¦tha proposed work, arid submitted a pianwhich he estimated could be carried outfor.a sum I of £19.891 10s 7d., but beforeentering upon a project of such magni-tude, it was deemed advisable to havea second opinion. Accordingly the : ser-vices werd Becurcd <A ill. ' John Coode,of Weymooth, an engineer of the highestaminence in such works, and on his re-pffift'-beinglreceived in May last, permls-swniwas sougjit an,d •obtained, to tormwfrom the Public" Works' Loan Commie*'sioners under the Harbour and [Passive-ToU.s Act, | a sura of £45,000 for cuttingthe channel. After very extensive notifi-cation by advertisement in various news-papers, the Commissioners, on Mondaylast, proceeded to open tenders for thework and ye tie greatly pleased to knowthat in our own locality there was iouridthe successful contractor in the firm bfRyan and I Sons, Waterford and ¦Lirh-erioi Tim aum for-which Messrs. Ryanpropose k> execute the witting . irt 03niontlis is £18,500 and it is a high tes-timony to the accurate calculation ' thattho next tinder was within £300 of theirestimate. The Harblour Commissionershave sent forward the tender to Mr.Coode for his tupervision, and we haveno doubt he will recommend the Boardimmediately to authorise Messrs Ryan toprocoed with the work. '

The works at l{he great new bacon con-cern, in this city , the property of Joseph8. Richardson, Eeq.r TJC.. are progress-ing with much rapidity. There, are atpresent about 150 ' workmen, includingmasons, slaters,-carpentero, pump-borers,labourers, |etc , employed iu the pre-mises.' HorseB anil men are engageddrawing stonos. from five qTJarries, , aridyet they flnd it difficult to keep themasons going Th'e entire buildings arcsuperintended by Mr. Richardson him-self , and the work seems to be performedin the most careful and substantial man-ner. A number of styes are already tipand slated, and as these will makecapital workshops for stone-cutters, CBT-penters and other mechanics, the build-ings «an. it it hoped, be proceeded withtho whole | winte r without interruption.This will be a great matter for the oper-utive classes of the city, to whom thisvast concern is bringing w> much re-muncrativd employment at this un-usually dull season of the year. Thisnew curing establishment will comprisea magnificent doubla frontage , taking inabout half ¦Summerlaud roud, goinground the [corner down as far as Mr(Thomas Shanahan's premise* In Maramstreet. During the week we noticedA[a

Mr O'Bden'h Fronanclamento! Mr. William O'Brien, M.P. , 1-gplying toa correspondent urging him to opposeconscription says:—"Our oountrymeu

laro being cruelly Jed astray, in theij- pre-sent inextricable attitude. ; We,have got'either to bid good-bye, to Home Rulo orhelp England honestly in this war. Con-scription is not in the least likely unlessthings , go much wone for England. Butilet oiot our people deciove Uiemsalvoa.If we are sheltered from conscription, it

,is owiiu; to the fact that a million recruitshave offered themselves voluntarily inGroat Britai n, and we are sacrificing all•Ireland would have gained if we had imi-¦tated theii example. ".No dread of tran-sient unpopularity will deter me fromsaying and repeating that we are madlyfurnishing English party politicians with-the only excuse than can now be inventedfor deserting the Home Rule cause oi, ctthe very least, for partitionuig Irelandwhen the war is over." :

The only aspect of this pronunciamentoto be considered, as far as its author is

Iconcerned, is its sincerity, or otherwise.! Mr. O'Brien 's declaration that he doesinot hesitate to risk "transient popu-larity " is rather dazzling, but, notwith-standing the flashing bravura of this ex-pression of self-sacrifice, one cunnot helpjrecollecting that before the war broke out|Mr. William O'Brien andjevery memberof the All-for-Ireland Party, which is hismost recent foundation , laughed to Bcomthe Home Rule Bill. But what do we'find now? "We must bid good-bye tojHome Rule or help England heartily inithis war. " So Home Rule- -which is arvariantforthe Home Jtuh BUI , us is quiteclear from the context—is not now to becontemned, but is the price England haspaid for inducing Ireland to be her ally

<in the Continental flare-up. /Now, leav-ling the merits of the argument theyjhave, indeed, been discussed ad nauttam!in vthe Press already—it cannot be deaiedThai this unqualified glorification of the)gene;osity of the giver of the Home Rule]FKH' comes ill from the mouth of Mr.O/Brien. But let us not dwell upon UUBpbnt. Mr. O'Brien, no doubt, examineshis own conscience periodically. Whatbe has said, has such a decided " halo "about It. that it rauet be: examined un-blinkingly. . . . . . . '

Every member of the big family ofJohn Bull , and every John; Ballite in thishis other island, will believe. When theyread Mr. O'Brien's outburst, that he hasrevealed some hitherto unsounded depthof iniquity and baseness and poltrooneryin Nationalists taken in the lump. Theywill believe that he baa bravely spokenthe truth about Ireland, and that he, nodoubt, now stands in crave Dnril of hislite for haying exposed his fellow-countrymen in their-true colour*. '

And yet, shorn of certain externals, theway Mr. William O'Brien'wants Irelandto express a change, of nationality is thevery- way in which Mr. John Redmondwishes this country to -accentuato itsnational idontity. For [both of themhave called upon Irishmen,, who are stiilin a comparative majority—takingpopulation into account—in thearmy, to leave their countryand fight for the British Empire.When extremes meet in this extraordi-nary fashion there is an "unknownquantity ' to be considered , an unsuspect-ed force, working in divers ways, butproducing the same result. What is thisforce? What does, X stand for in thisproblem?

What both Mr. Redmond . nnd Mr.O'Brien have b«cn Beeking to bring intoplay is that chivalry which, it is be-lieved , is the most important part of theIrish character. Mr. Redmond plainly,with his scheme of an Irish Brigade, hastried, by legitimate means, to arouse agneront flame. Mr. O'Brien, though hemay not have realised it, is, even at thismoment, striving to ignite a dntrvrivgflame. Mr. Redmond says, quite quietlyand unperBuasively: "Fellow-country-men, 'give your lives for the Empire."Mr O'Brien cries, in a loud voice: "Irish-men, sell your lives ! Sell them like mad !But tx amint your change , even before yougot it." :

•The strange part of the whole matter iathat , whether it exist or not. Irish chi-valry hai not been aroused , speakinggenerally. We have grown up in the be-lief—and it is a belief nurtured by ex-nerionee~that. somewhere, deer* down inthe Irish character, there is the ardentflame which feeds on tha martial spirit ofthe 'race. Most undoubtedly, historyaffords innumerable instances of Irish-men performing astonishing deeds of val-our. Upon this theme, novelists like

Charles Lever wrote volume upon volumeof stirring tales ; whilst the very oppositegenius of Thomas Francis Mengher ap-pealed to this martial spirit, and not mvain. Where is it to-day ? It cannothave died down in the short intervalwhich separates us from the early nine-teenth century. If it existed then , itexists now. But who will arouse it? Inthe early days of the Volunteer move-ment it seemed to be about to blaie outinto full plory again. But it did not.Who or wniit. then, will arouse it?

The Englishman professes to beastounded because the war has notarousod it, his argument being: "Wehave given you , in the Home Rule Bill ,a specimen of our prime beef pudding.Why don't you show your gratitude? 'The truth is . however , that we have notyet sat down to this beef-pudding: thoAmending Bill is scowling most inhos-pitably at the head of the table, prepared,with a large knife , to partition it. Andnobody yet knows what is under thecrust.

Even if Nationalists were certain thatHome Rule was to be the law for Ireland,and that the Amending Bill would be adead letter, the restoration of our.Parlia-ment is nothing but restitution , andrestitutico mad.e in the most irrudg ii iRmanner. It is an insult to talk of HomeRule as a gift , and Irishmen .bitterly re-sent the talk about England giving usmuch and getting little in return from us.A franker spirit, recognising thttt HomeRule is part-payment of a debt long over-due would arouse a correspondinglyheartier spirit in Irishmen. Arrogantcontempt for our poverty of spirit onlyserves to recall the past , stained withworse than arrogance.

Unexpected Holidays

Every cloud, we are told , has its silverlining. The "scarlatina holidays" stillcontinuo in full force, and- such 3s life!—there is exceedingly great joy among theyoungsters of both sexes. Even grown-ups revel in an unexpected holiday. 7)utthe frenzy of jubilation of the younfrstorswhen an unlooked-for cessation of theschool-grind takes place is beyond de-scription. They may be seen in troopson the road and in the street? plnyins a!lBorts of games from "fag-pictures" topitch-and-toss, with a little active mis-chief now and then, and in their more,senionirt moments playing at "Volunteers"or "Germans."

Recently in tho outskirts of the townthe writer looked on at the maklnc of a"tarry-footpath." It appeared to bo. asource of deep interest and study to theholiday-mokinp youth of th'j 1 neighbour-hood, who crowded around the "Corporo-Uon-men." giving the latter plenty to doin addition to tne road-making, in ans-swering oaucy remarks and chaff, besideskeeping the "kids" off the raw footpath.But they were useful, too. When thehand-roller was set godnp. and they gotpermission to pull in front and shove be-hind, their energy and enthusiasm knewno hounds; In another place, a cow metwith an- accident and had to be shot. Theslaughter, the dragginc awajrjof thcxar-case, the coming of the knackar-car,"and the subsequent "operations" T«re.watched with intense interest by & crowdof junkers numbering neatly fifty. When

,thc casualty had departed, they remained,f«r a long time discussing the "regret-;tebl« inurdent" in all ita bearing!'.

But beside* : his ap[ire-oiation of such schemes from] » scenicpoint of vii-w there is the c >mmercialaspect. At the County: Counc ! this' as-pect has been diseusieil reguiary everyyear. The Secretary to the A, rriculturalCommittee is a very keen ent tusiast 'onIhe subject, and has evan pjoiuced ela-borate calculations, to show in whatdirections improvements jnight be made.

The principal objection rais si at dis-cussions about expending mm ey oh, iorobtainins- grants for, tree plant ng m Co.Waterford, has been that the work is cotreproductive. But experts tell k differentstory. Professor Sullivan in 1886 saidthat. \i thp l-n<\-i mmvntai-n sirl*>A aldnphad been planted m 1&6. Ireland n-ouldhave been richer by thirty millions Rti-r-ling. Another crreat. expert , Ilowity, o)Denmark, asserted that if aiiorestatibny ero carried out in thii country. L-onaturally suited for timber gi owing, litwould have twenty-five million nstead joffive million people. In Germ ny aloneafforestation gives cmploymei: t to fourand a half million people eqt al to thetotal population of Ireland. Fe » branch-es of popular or state- enterpri ,e are .'ctsnerally remunerative aa aifdrestation.Waste lind is converted iato veritab'lgold mine .by t-nfe planting, speciallywhen suitable industries are started ineormeotion with the foro»U>. The ex-amples of 6uch good work in France atidoOier Continental countries artf all con-vincing. One district in the Narth pifVanee, formerly a wild wastel has pysystematic tree planting , been convertedinto a great forest land worth, fifty millionpounds. The Monks of Mount Slcllcraj-have also given a splendid exajnrple biprivate enterprise.

; in which the Department of Agriculture' was asked to sc* what steps should bt( taken to promote the beet-sugarj industrysin Ireland, and the Committee asked, that the Department would provide at, leaSV one extractor; lor the Co. JDerry <inI ordeAto encourage the farmers j to assistin the establishing of the industry .! Commenting on this, the "'Farmers

Gazette" says.—"We have on variousoccasions during the past seven} or eight, years—indeed, ever since sugar-beet'. growing has been suggested within re-cent years- -pointed out thai in! Irelandthe success of such a nroiect is Herulerllvproblematical. Indeed, we fear lit offersno inducements whatever to Irish far-mers. We know the crop of j old, bypractical experience, and we have seenthe growing of the crop on the Continentand the manufacture there of beet-sugar,and still we adhere to our opinion, rur-mers can grow the roots in Ireland, un-doubtedly—and as good roots, too, aswould probably be grown in England , butlook at the !cost and the yield ! A sugarbeet crop would cost, to produce , quite£2 or £3 per statute acre more) than acrop of mangels, but the yield would pro-bably average enly half that of a! mangelcrop, perhaps not even that. Now, theprice offered at Cantley, in Norfolk ,where the thing has been tried commer-cially, was at first £1 per ton, but subsi^quently up to 25s. per ton was paid. InIreland mangels, with double the yieldper acre, are considered to be worth Ins.to 20s. per ton for cattle feeding.! Puvting aside the extra cost of production,where does the advantage of sugar-beetgrowing corno in? But, as all farmersknow , the cost of labour is growing inthis country,' and labour i« becoming notonly dear but scarce il-w are we, then ,to compete- with the Contnient with itscheap labour?" I

It may be taken for granted.that'labouron the Continent will be much dearer inconsequence 'of the present war , so tha.the "cheap Continental labour " j argu-ment is not a very strong one. |Another contention of the " Farmers'Gazette " is that high prices will not belong maintained when the war is over ."*By the time a factory would beequipped)" says the " Gazette," j "andtanners would be educated into growingsugar-beet, the war would probably beover and 'prices down to their old levelworthy argument. j

The " Gazette " goes on to say that beetsugar caanot ' compete with cane 8ugar,and that it was only the heavy bountiesin France ond Germany which enabledsugar manufacturers there to competesuccessfully with cane sugar from Ja-maica, Dernerara. and other West Indiancountries and êlsewhere. The highjpricenow obtainable for 6ugar will set WestIndian planters again on their feet' andstimulate the iproduction of cane sugar.with the result that with on increasedsupply the price may drop- To be (sure .

le natural increase in the population ofthe world may; for a time act as a 'set-offto increased sugar production , but , on theother hand, what is to prevent "West. In-dian planters and others producing; bet-ter breeds of sugar cane with a highersugar content , [just as has been done inthft <*J*SJ* nf flic! Mlpar-Yiwt ? i

WHAT IRELAND SELLS

Turning to the figures dealing with ex-ports during 1913 we find that farm !pro-duce amounted!to a value of £37 ,500. ornearly half of :the total exports—whichare given at £73,886,411. But it must/ notbe forgotten that we buy foodstuffs landfarm commodities of a value of over£22,500,000. i j

The first and still the chief agriculture!export of Ireland is that of live stockamounting in 1913 to a total estimatedvalue of Eig.WSS.SI?. an increase of over£7,000.000 as compared with the exportof 1012. an increase of over £6.000,000 ascompared with the export of 1911 , and anincrease of close on £4,000,000 as com-pared with 1910.! The increase in 1913 ismainly due to the very large numbers ofstore cattle which wexe held back fromshipment during the second half of theyear 1912 in consequence of the restric-tions imposed on the exporntion of liveanimals through jtlie outbreak of f.»l-»r.d-mbutii disease, and which were expo rtedir\ *l*n Aftrlu mnnlhn />f 1Q13. It w i i l l b **remembered that the decrea-* in Kill .J "-compared with 1910 and previou- year?.was mainly caused by the gr il d'-'iislitwhich prevailed in the summej of 1911 .' Itwill thus be seen that the exports i.f livestock—store cattle, in p&riicuhr—havevaried very much in the last four yirr.and for this class of exports we have I togo back to 1910 to find a noTnial year Thetotal value of the.1 exports of cattle in 1913is estimated at £15,464,468, as comparedwith £3,336,863 in 1912, £9,866.393 in J911.and £11 453.673 in 1910. The total num-ber of cattle .shipped in 1913 amount.*!to 1.109.621. which is the highest figureon record since, 1878 when the publishedreturns of the exports of animals fromIreland were first issued. The shipmentsof sheep and .lambs increased to 639,255in 1913. but with the exception of theyear* 1895, 1011 -and 1912 this number j isIe5i than the number exported in anyyear Aince 1890. The number of swine ex-ported only amounted 'to 200,206, which¦ c f U A inwod ficniT** nn record . i

Mr. P. \V. Kcnnl , J.P., T.C., Kinp-meadow. Wateriord, was the first to giveevidence.

In reply to tJie Chairman he said herepresented tho V aterford Corporationand the No. l Rural District Council. MrKenny said he tho ight he would be?thelp the Commissk a by jtroeuring f» rthem « list of quol itions *nd prices afaffecting the local position0- in the cityand the immediate fcurroundings. Wher-ever he made enqui tes as to the cauM'of the shrinkage of ; iigs ho found it w.^largely attributable \o the price of Indianmeal. When meal vent over a certainprice farmers c«nclu led it would not payto fatten pigs any 1< nger, and rightly orwronjrly that seemed to be the dominatingfactor in influencing them down in thispart of the country at any rate.

Chairman—Would lot the price of. porkat the same time in luence them?

Mr. - Kenny—1 hav< gone into that. Ithink the best thin tt> do would bu toget authoratatiye figures from month t<.month and review ttom. For the years1912-13 I have got the prices frommonth to month of Indian meal , and 1have also set out the price* oi bacon forthe same months, onn in rcliCtloa to theother. . .

Chairman—Is thak for a particularyear ?

Mr Kenny—For tht years 1911-13. Ialso took the Department's returns orfigUTei of Uie number of pigs in theCounty of Waterford in these two years,and I particularly n< ticed * decrease a\sows, and naturally, as the sows de-crease the small pigs and stores show adecrease—not in the same ratio—but itwill affect the small riigs a-nd stores lateron. I found, starting with that theory—nrViitVi ic m \fji than +i tVim-17*V -iS\ fur nifeeders are concerned- the price oi Indiinmeal does rule the position down hereThe figures as to shrinkage and the les-sening of sows—that is farmers wh>>would fatten sows rat) er than keep themany longer—and the f irthcr lessening inthe year 1913 synchro ise.s with the fluc-tuation* in the meal IbaR.

In the latter halfof the year 1912 the qv\ >t&t:oiifi to biconand Indian meal were nore encouraging,but the ex|>ort trade w«» restricted owins;to the outbreak of foo -and-mbuth dis-ease, and some pigs ' 'ere destroyed inthe affected arens , and jrecders and feed-ers were nervouf or sloi to incress» theirholdings or resume the industry in caw<where "it had been dro; iped.

Chairman—That Act was passed in1678. and tho Public Health Act cameinto operation in 1902. 1 was wonderingwas there u decrease generally since1902. ¦

I 'Mr. Kenny—I asked that question of

the sanitary sub-officers, and they saidNo; tho figures were about uniform. Infixing the limit at 30 feat|I think wewere lower than some cities , and we don'thold rigidly to that. |Chairman—Tho L.G.B. suggested alimit of 3d feet , but they leo.ye it to tholocal authority to fix what imit theyLike.

Mr . Kenny—We take every case on itsmerit*, ana where the sanitary offlcorapproves of persooB within the limit-that is, if they kee,p their homes in acleanly way and not' detrimental to thepublic health—we alwayB delal sympa-thetical ly with them. •Chairman—From what you) have toldus about the Act , there-is no! doubt butt has been administered extremely leni-ently iu Waterford. |Mr. Kenny—We have sympathetic ad-ministration here ; and I may toll youincidentally that we find whe e pigs arekept in a cleanly condition it makes forgeneral thrift in the househo d. In theold days, before the sanitary laws w«rein spcrtition. it was a remarkable thingthat in small households you Mould fin3a calf hanging in the kitchen,! and a fatbeast, and a sheep , possibly, in anothercorner , and a pig in another. Particularlyin a locality known as Shortcourse, whereall the householders ' were.- in a (small wayand killed their own be&ste, these houseswere spotlessly clean, and the Ipeople al-ways thoroughly cleaned and) scouredtheir homes. If you looked into any oftheir kitchens they were always clean,and there wa« a sort of, rivalry betweenthe people as to which house |would becleaner than another. Some of theseLouses to-day, strictly soeakingi ought tobe condemned by the Corporation.

Questioned -as to hi* opinion of j)ig-breeding Mr. K«nny 6tated that! the landHteward ot the Asylum, Mr. Cj'Gorman,who was a very practical man and hadexperience of pig-breeding over 30 years,pointed out to him (Mr. Kenny) ' onsuveral occasions when he vidtea theAsylum as Visiting Governor jthat wnypig leaning to the white Ulster, jtype wasfar more thrifty, finished better, andfattened from ten days to -a fortnight be-fore others. They were a better pig in.every way . The County Council gavepremiums for large white Ulster boars audwhite York hours.

Chairman—Have you any particular:type- of Waterford pip showing producinga hotter cross? |Mr. Kenny—No, but where jlhey areeiwsed with the boars named ithe re-sultant pig is very economical. |Chairmiui—Did you find any complaintfrom tlie merchants about the pigs as tooualitv or .-uiifAbi l itv -for Ihftir tirade?

Mr. Kenny—No , nothing was reportedto us. |Chairman—And you ?et the top pricesgoing al! tlie time?

Mr. Kenny—Yes.Referring to accommodation for pig-

feeding in plots for labourers in the No.1 Rural District . Mr. Kenny sad thatno provision was made in the t irnu onwhich they borrowed for building pur-poses. They charged labourers aoout 104a week for cottages. I

Chairman—What do you sjive them be-sides the hcuse ? [Mr. Kenny—The oniy other buifding isa privy Then- i." a little store room offthe kitchen of tlie main building.

In further examination Mr. Kennystated that alx>ut 110 labourers in Water-ford district kent nitr-S. I

Mr. Mitchell , steward to the Earl ofBwtx-.rough, was next examined, andsta;«<l that pig-feeding amongst cittageTsin Pi/town district had declined verymuch in j«.'cnt years.

Obairman—You think the cottagershave given up feeding pigs and «>ne infor poultry. IV> you think would fhe in-cr a8e in prio- of poultry and eggs haveinduced tlictn? |

MT . R. C Dobb». Oamphire. tjappoquin,Raid he was a large breeder off pws.

THE RANCHING SYSTEMIN IRELAND

Some Weighty Words

At the opening meeting of the Statis-tical and 8ocial Enquiry Society iox Ire-land held thii week the President, Mr.C. A. Stannell , delivered an address on" The effect of the War on Irish Agricul-ture." He NTiid that the subject was notstatistical , but art attempt to' show theIrish farmers that, as a result of tlie uni-versal war pievailing in Europe, therewould, in all probability, bo a shortageof all kinds of provisions, including comand meat, nat only next year, but pos-sibly the year afier. His object was tourge them to increase their tillage, includ-ing in that eocpivssion turnips, marigolds,and other forms of food for cattle andstock, so as to' provide meat ready formarket, instead of jexportng them alive tobe " finished." Instead of tho lean cat-tle" "stojioA." thevi wanted fat "finished"cattle ready for tlie butcher; and the***would be requiredjin enormous numbers,not only for home' consumption, but alsoto ieed their armies ; whilst, owing to thenumber of men in] the Army, they wouldhave fewer men for the work. This madethe necessity IOT expedition greater. Oirocenk years an enormous* change hasbeen taking place m regard to Irish land.Every year the acreage under crops, in-cludiBg hay, has been diminishing. In1851 the tillage of i Ireland was 5,853,951,including meadoK- 'and clover ; but in 1913it had gradually sunk to 14,81-4,591—a de-crease of over a ntillion acres. Betweenthe dates mentioned Teal "tillage" fell off60 per cent.—more, than ono-hall—and thehay and clover increased 99 per cent. Thepasture, since 1851, 'has increased from».4&3,&H acie» to 13.408 ,803 in 1913—an in-crease of three million acres. Only 11.1per cent. «t the laud ol Ireland was un-der tillage , this being the lowest percent-age of all te countries m Europe. Sucha result showed that crops were syste-matically neglected iin Ireland. He deep-ly regretted that it was much to be fearedthat the farmers of Ireland have , to alarge extent , cca?ed to be farmers, andhave become cattle-watchers or rancliero.

They formerly protested that these cat-tle ranches were the work of landlords ,land agenta, capitalists, of anybody unueverybody except themsoive.i, but the factis that the farmers speaking generally,have made few efforts to depart ironi per-manent pasture since they hnve beenfreed by tho judicial rent system fromany attempt to raise the rents on theirimprovement*.

It would ap-poar that the cause of the change is notthe system of -rents 'or the dread of con-fiscation of improvements, but that itmust lie elsewhftTP . '. The farmer? them-selves were becoming conscious of this ,and were now as?etting that they weregiving up tillage , bMause it does riot pay.He did not wish to make sweeping andTeckleis assertions, but the was n6t aUtogether without experience, and he hadfound that Xhis excuse was general ly putforward by tho lazy.; idle men, who sub-let their land for arazing, and do abso-lutely no work whatever. He did not saythis was universal, biit he did say that itprevailed to a very 'large extent. Tho.Irish farmers have of. recent years devotedthemselves to simple grazing, sendingtheir "storas." or lean beasts, to Scotlandand England to be : fattened. tie amnot believe that the iaimy Scots and thepractical English .weie graciously ples-sed Ito fatten the Irish iattle merely out oi Ibenevolence and philanthropy. GreatBritain practwed tillage because it paid,and Ruppart* a nutnW ol agriculturallabourers and an army of workmen whodeal with the " offal," °T by-products.While in Ireland they had little work fortheir town poor, in Groat Britain theyhad works and factories devoted to tan-ning, (citing, glue, albumen, mannre, andfifty other*.

CARRICK-ON-SOIR UNION

; L C. B. on Doctors' Salariesj

A Remarkable lelterj

lit. John O'Donnell , UJC.O., Chair-man, presided at the weekly meeting ofCarrick-on-Suir Board of Guardians onSaturday. Also present—Messrs. MichaelTerry and Thomas F. Morrissey, V.C-The Clerk read the following:— ¦' ' .

Loc*l Government j Board. Dublin,13th November, 1914.

: Sir—The L. G. B. for Ireland have- re-ceived the minutes of the proceedings- ofCarrick-on-Suir Board oi Guatdiana attne meetings held on 10th and 24th ult.and 7th inst. containing [entries relativeto the proposal to increase the salary otDr. Walker, M.O, Portlaw, from £80 to£100 a year. The' L. G. B. regret to ob-serve that the truardians have dealt withthe claim of one of the MX), s and havenot BO far decided upon the adoption ofa: scale of gradad salaried applicable toall their stafi oi M.O.'B. jTlie guardiansare aware that the list printed at pages23 and 33 of the last annual report of theI..G.B. shows that up to 31st March lastscales of traded salaries for DispensaryM.O.'B had been adopted in 94 unions, in-cluding] the following which adjoin Car-rick-on-Suir. The graded salaries are asfollows:—Callan, minimum salary, £150,£10 qninquennially to maximum of £200;Cashel . one MX), at minimum of £140and £10 triennially to jmaximum of£200, And th/ee at minimum of £140 eachwith £10 quinquennia] increase to max-imum of £200; Clonmel, one at £180 with£10 quinquennial increase; to £200, andone with £50 with £5 quinquennially to£80: Thomaslown. .£125 each with Quin-quennial increment* to iiou maximum;iWaterford. £120 each with £10 qiiinquen-nially to £170; iKilmscthonias, two M.O.'swhose salaries were recently, raffed to£150 each. The duties ot the Mfl.'i inCarrick-an-Suir axe not lesa' arduous andresponsible than in any of the above-mentioned unions whiht their 'remunera-tion compares very unfavourably, as maybe judged from the following statement :Carrick-on-Suir and Carritkbep; District,Dr.! P. Stephenson, appointed January,1895, Salary at time of appointment,£115; present salary, £115 ;: Corrick-on-Suir No. 2 District, Dr. Moran,- appointedAugust . 1883, salary at time of appoint-ment, £60; present salary, £80; Piltown,Dr.iQuirke, appointed November, 1884,salary at time of appointment. £100 ; pre-sent salary, £110; Portlaw, | D.r\ Walkerappointed April, 1898, salary at time olappointment , £80; present (salary, £S0;Rathgormack , Dr. Dwan , ap

^pointed June.1893, salary at time of appointment, £90;present salary, £100.- The salary which.M.O.'s in Carnick Union would be now inreceipt of if scales of increases in forcein adjoining unions were applied re-trospectvely in each case in i Carrick-on-Suir—Dr. fitephenson, £180; j Dr. Moran,£200; Br. Quirke, £200; Dr. iWalker,£180; Dr. Dwan, £180. The Local Go-vernment 'Board are not disposed to san-ction sn increase of salary to an indi-vidual M.O. in the iOnjon and in thatway acquiesce in the action of the guar-dians in ignoring the equally strongclsims of the other M.O. 's to increasedsalarie?, and they would theieiore urgethe guardians to meet their M.O 's iri ; aconciliatory spirit and endeavour to ar-rany-'| with them an amirahle! settlementof the question by the adoption, of agraded scale of salaries. A meeting ofthq fraardinn? might be speoiclly con-vened to dual with this important sub-iert. ; " ¦ ¦

I ¦A, K.. cBARLAS, Secretary.

Chajrman—We cannot do! anythingabout i thin to-day as we have such asmall board. I

Mr. Morrissey—The L.G.B. now, ask usto make the increases retrospective andsome years ago when the guardians in-creased the salaries of Dr. Moran and Dr.Dwan the L.G.B. cut down the amountthe board granted. | y

Clerk—They are not asking you tomake the increases retrospective but theyhave pointed out what would be the pre-sent salaries of your medical officers iftlie scales of graded increases, adopted inother unions were fixed by you and ilthe increases were made retrospective.

Mr. Morr5ssey—iWe need notibe in theleast alarmed at what they state about94 unipns in Ireland having fixed thegraded scale of increases for tlfeir doc-tors. That leaves 60 unions that havenot done so. Furthermore, in this unionthe amount nsid in salaries to ourofficials is tne nflrest in aiunster.

Clerk—That statement has been madehere very often but I may say ; it is nottrue. The fact is that this is 'the mosteconomically worked union jn 'Monster.The explanation of the high figures forthis union in the return presented toParliament and which has been quotedso often fa this—In this union you havea number of paid scrubbers and a paidvanman. The total amount for thesescrubbers here and at the fever hos-pital runs to £350 a year. For [conveni-ence they nre returned as officers butthey are in no sense officers and theincost should not be 'included iu I the costof officers. If you deduct the £.:"i0 fromthe £1.470 that appeared in the returnyou would have £1.120, -which wouldleave this union the lowest for its yze ofany that appeared on the list. |I . ihinkit "right to make that statement :so as toremove the wrong impression that hasbeen created by the figures quoted froml l n I A 4/V 4 l*n*» ' I

Master—Some years ago we tiau a largenumber tit able-bodied women here andwe had not to employ any outside seniorbere. At present we have only six able-bodied women here and they are alwaysconstantly employed. . . |

Mr. Morrissey—I am glatf the (Jerkhas made that statement about ;tho costof the union . i

Chairman—He has made it very clearto us. I

Clerk—We have the same staff of off!-,cials here as you have in other unions ofits 6ize, and it would be impossible thatthe amount paid in salaries could be actmuch higher than in other unions, ashas been represented in the returns. Itwas the addition ol the £350 paid to thescrubbers that mn-ic the amount so high.

Mr. Morrifsey—1 muBt say thai every-thing in' connection with the union isworked very efficiently. I

Chairman—The Clerk s statement will¦in to the public through the press.

it was reported to the .Board that .sugarhad been purchased by the'Master trvmthe outbreak of the -war to 30th Septem-ber last at the expense of the contractor.Mrs. B. ilotf. 2. Main street, as Mrs.Fox was unable to supply the sugar after Ithe outbreak of the war. The differenceagainst Mra. Fox amounted to £9;i0s. 8d.and it was decided to deduct that from I

I the amount due to Mrs. Fox for sugarsupplied by her before the war. He (Mr.Morrissey) tlxnwht that was very bardon Mrs. tVox. He knew it was the onlything the guardians oould have doneunder the clTcumsUncef. If the LocalGovernment Board would be asked to

I allow tlie. sum due to Mrs. iFoxl .to be"aid to her they woild allow it. [

Chairman—We all agreed at the limetliat it was hard on Mrs. Fox, but it waspointed 'out that it would be a bad pre-cedent to establish if we allowed, her theamount.' . !

Mr Terry—I think we slwuld try tohave it allowed to her. She could not

The Mastrr said be understood thatMr. McGrath , contractor, is prepared tocontinue to supply the bread at tlie pricecontracted for in September, viz. ' Gd. per4 lb. loaf. . I

! WaterfordPriest Goes to the Front

No priest in this diocese has gone out as'¦chaplain to the forces during the war, butKev. Father Dowling, B.D., Professor ofSacred Scripture and Metaphysics at St.Kioran 's College. Kilkenny, who left forthe front, a few days ago as Catholicchaplain , studied at Waterpark Collegefor many years, and is so well-known inour city that he may be claimed as " oneof ourR.t'. .Last week he paid a flying visithome to Slie.verue, and on Sunday waitedupon Most Rev. Dr. ;Sheehan at thePalace.(John 's hill , to receive fro m theBishop 's hands a chalice his LordshipJind blojêcl. The Bishop expressed thegreat happiness it was to him to see anIrish priest ' offer himself for ministra-tion auiuut; flie soldiers at the front. Afterthis interview . Father Dowling visitedsome of his friends in the city, to bidthem fiirev.ell. ¦

ft is interesting to know that priests atthe (rorit wear a khaki uniform almostthe same as that worn by officers . Uieonly distinguishing marks being theRoman ^collar and a Maltese cro6s on theshoulder. "A SEND-OFF.

Father Dowling lelt for the (ront onTuesday. The occasion was taken advan-tage of (by the Ferrybank and SjlieverueVolunteers, "who, headed by the Ferry-bank Sarsfield Fife and Dram Band, es-corted him from his house at Sion Row tothe stiition. lieforc- he left his house forthe Aalion, Mr. Michael Maher , D.C.. ad-dressed it he gathering nnd pointed out thejjroat K-lf-sacrifice that Father Dowl ingwas abn'ut to undertake in carry ing peaceand consolation to our fellow-countrymenat the front. He appealed to the peoplefor their kind remembrance of him intheir dailv urayera. He con rely on fondand fervent wishes'for his we l fa re and torhis safe l return.KATHKR HUGHES 'S TRIBUTE.

Father Hughes complimented the menon the- fine spirit which moved them toaccord to Father Dowline Buch a markeatribute of respect and admiration on hiadeparture for the front. Yet it is butsmall when compared with the gallant ac-tion of Father Dowling. He volunteeredfor the front , as many other Irish priestsdid, twei * months ago. And would havebeen there long since had the opportunitybeen given to him. ' A distinguished scho-lar, holding a responsible position in theDiocesan College, he realises the infiniteimportance to men wtihin the zone ofdeath of the powers that are his as apriest, and ho nurries to place them atthe service of our fellow-countrymen nowgo noblyj fighting in defence of home andcountry'.! He knows' th* F-pirit of our race—what consolation , what courage, wnachope and what help Us presence will givethem. The Irish soldier knows, his holyreligion teaches him how to be obedient,courageous, brave and true, but thepresence) of the priest in hia midst doesmore—it 'makes him the bravest and mo3ldaring soldier''the 1 world knows; it makeshim conscious of duty, xdckless of death ,and inspires him with hope. Hence it isthat hip {Eminence Cardinal Logue is soanxious that Irish priests should accom-pany our Irish regiments wherever theygo. You) know they are always to befound wherever danger is greatest andrictory near. You know, too,.that nodanger, no matter bow great, can deterthe priests in the discharge of their sacredduties. Empires may totter and dynas-ties die, the body of the poor soldier maylie on the battlefield , but hia immortalsoul will', live when the din ot battleceases and the strife of life is done. Theiwuie of this mizhtv war "rests with God.Let MS pray to Him foi the poor fellowsat the front. Let us pray to Him thatthe 6un of victory may rise upon ourarms—an Ussue which will bring peace toEurope, and peace, prosperity and-happi-ness to our own dear land.

Father Dowline then thanked the peo-ple /or their kindness in giving him sucha send-off, and desired them to remem-ber him in their daily prayers, and moreespecially] to remember their poor fellow-coxmtrymen who are at present sufferingin the trenches. He stated that hp con-sidered it | bis duty to go to the front tolook after rthese poor soldiers.AT THE STATION.

The. Dand rendered some stirring Irishairs on the platform; and as the trainsteamed out "Come Back to Erin" wasplayed. . jAmongst those who also sawFather Dowling off were Rev. . Fs.th.erWalsh, Ferrybank ; Bev. F-ather -Bergin,Slieverae;! and Rev. Father Comerford,Kilm&cnwj •

DUNGARVAN LETTERj

¦IAST FAIR.Last V edneaday 's Fair in Dungarvan

was an exceptionally brisk market.Cattle c ahged owners, at high pricesand the demand was maintained through-out the day. Very little sheep was to:beseen. Pips were |O1BO in demand. In thehorse fair several animals were told.In fact in > this quarter animals whichsome months ago would have beenscarcely glanced at by buysrs were nowsurrounded by bidders. ' Prices, tooranged high. At this period of the yearspringing cattle are usually sought afterand good prices jfor them ore generallypaid. Or Wednesday last the prices forspringers were higher than were ever be-bore experienced jin' Dungarvan. It is anunusual ' hing for a farmer to pet at \ afair what he asks for the stack he ' isselling, b it on Wednesday cases of thekind wer< to be met with. The soles jofcattle in this neighbourhood are rtotconfined :o the fairs. Kvery day duringthe past few weeks men have beenthrough tie districts around, purchasingcattle and day after day large ship-ments ha -'e taken place.

A LADY'S GOSSIPWOMEN T0Y-MAK$RS.

The Women 's. Emergency Corps istluini; much that IB useful in findingwork for gi rls and women tliiown cut ofemployment by the war, and in making avery practical attempt to capture thetoy-making industry of Germany. Thepeasants wln> live in and around theilHack Forest, and make tho cheapwooden toys that Germany sells to thewhole world, work long hours tor anierB Ddttance. but there is . no rea&onwhy the better class toys should not beproduced in our own villages. It isproposed to send out skilled women in-structors to various parts of the country,and whore this already has been done itis encouraging to find that wnnnen haverapidly become proficient in the work.Most of the old arts and crnft» of thecountry districts have been kiKed bymnciiiiicty, and in places not reached bythe factory system there is much un-employed and available labour, whichonly wants organisation and Instructionti> direct it into useful channels.

ALALITH BUTTONS.Irish manuiacUirers should succeed in

capturing a great part of the trade inforeign buttons, of which immense quan-tities are in the ordinary way importedfrom Germany and Austria. The linenbutton still remains a Uritinh speciality .but foreign competition- is very keen inthe manufacture of most other kinds. Anew substance obtained from milk andcalled "Ralalith" has lately been inventedon the Continent. It is very light, re-?ombles horn and and vegetable ivory ,and makes very handsome buttons.nritiBh manufacturers arc now experi -menting with the hope of discovering themetho! of . making pualith and thus cap-lure somo of the enemy's trade. Brassin<l ' gi( e buttons are maile almost en-tirely in Germany, alfv> those of steel ,incl all ornamuntal kinds used forblouses. Trowser buttons also come>o»- from Germany."HE RETURN OF THE POCKET.

Pockets are gradually coming intoeneral use again. At present theyire restricted to walking skirts and:oats. On the former they are placed atho side and situated on the out»ide. justiclow the tups. They are quite orna-neiitol additions b> the skirt, and arcifteo braided. The yoke skirt, (fatheredlightly at tho back , with pleated akirtleneatn, is a favourite design for re-ilovations. The front and back are quiteiloin with a broad box pleat, the ful-tess being at the sides. Sashes and belts¦nry very much, and some are exceed-ugly quaint. Many of the waistiensiresscs have a superfluity of drapery thatjnlarfjes tlit? figure to a degree fliat ii> any-jhing Imt graceful.

PES APPEAL FOR PE4CEThis week there was insucd in Rome a

Patal Encyclical urging peace.The Encyclical refers to the dreadful

ret ilts of the pTesent war . and conjuresml :rs nnd people to end that fratricidalstr uggle nnd to herald the dawn of thePontificate by a voice announcing peacethr mghout the world. This bloody war,the Encyclical proceeds, is grave because,be? des the struggle of bodies theje is astr ggle of souls. The pretence of eman-cip ting human civil authority trom theaut lority of God has caused the linksbet i-een superiors and inferioris to be-con a daily looser. Sovereigns and rulerssho ild consider this and see whether itis v ise to divorce themselves from thoreligion of Christ, and whether it is goodpoli y to banish the Gospel from educa-tion

rue principl e that men, being' equal innatore, must also be equal socially isfulte. Therefore, to argue differentlytills souls with anger, classes with hatred ,ami life with struggles. The only remedyis to teach the Go6\\«l and iu fundamen-tal irecopts of lovo. Christ's spirit doe.<not eign to-dny. Never more than at th«present time have people spoken ol bro-ther loorl , nnd never more than now knvothey ignored Hint brotherhood. Nations ,race . . towns , and individuals are dividedby rancour nnd selfishnes» and the wantof lAutunl charity.

Infanticide Charge ; ' .(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5.)

stable named Edward Kennedy came towhere I wao. Constable Kennedy askedher what ehe'had in the parcel, and shereplied it [was a child. I then saw theconstable take her to tho barrack. SoonafterwardR Head Constable O'Connor andConstable Kennedy came to niy house,and. I weu t with them into the bedroomwhich Maty Barton hud occupied, '. and!there 'pointed out the bed to them. I didnot; hear the cry of a child at any i timefrom Mary ' Barren's room. I did riotknow 8I19 had given birth . to a child.¦When Constable Kennedy arrived I no-ticed that \he accused exposed the parcelbefore he spoke to her. !

Accused |did riot cross-examine. jj John Kennedy deposed:—I am a stokeiemiiloved 'at the Waterford Gas Works,and live at No. 2 Newport 8 lano. 1 re-member the morning of tho 28th Octoberlast'. I wnjs passing John's lane at aboutn quarter past 6 o'clock, and 1 there sawtwo women, Annie Kavanagh , the : lastWitness , add Mary Barron, the accuBed,now present. Mrs. Kavanagh called moand.made a statement to me, and in eon-enquence Qf that I asked Mary Barronwan it a fact she had a child there, andif so it woa|a serious case. She said:. "Letme go. I'm going home." I went to'Manor street Barrack and reported th«matter , and returned to the lane withConstable. iKenneSy. When {he accusedwas arrested I went away. Before I left Isaw her expose the parcel to ConstableKennedy. I. ' . iNo crossrexamination. ;

Dr. T. A; Kelleher deposed to exainih-inc the accused.on the 28th October last.at the requnst of tho police. On the eameday. assisted by Dr. Jackman, he held j apost-mortem examination on the boay ofa female infant child at the morgue.' Thechild was apparently fully developed.There was no evidence that the child nndreceived tho ordinary attention at birthwhich a nfew-bor%n--child receives. Theumbilical cord ha'd not been tied. Therewere bruises on the right side of themouth, on the right cheek below the eye,on tho bridge 'of the nose, on the riglfttemple, on |he top of the head, and on thatop of the tight ear. Both lower eye-lidswere slightly blood-ehot. These were tliuexternal injuries. On lifting the ficalpof the child there' was a large blood clotbeneath. TJhis clot practicall y extendedall over the, top of the head. There .wasno injury t£ the bones or skull or to thebrain. I examined tha child'B lungs ; theevidence was that the child had breathed,but I don't think the breathing con-tinued verjj long. ' The Internal organswere apparently, all healthy, snd in myopinion the external injuries describedcould only \bo due to violence . Deathwas due toj failure of the respiratoryfunction. En my opinion the bruisesfound externally on the body could be in-flicted by blows or falls.

Constable Edward Kennedy deposed:—Iaro stationed at Manor Street Barrack. Iremember 28th 'October last. At about6.30 o'clock ithat morning, in consequenceof a statement "made at the barrack byJohn Kennedy . I accompanied him toJohn's lanej where I saw Anne Kavanaghand Mary Barron, the accused. I paidin presence jof the two women: "Where inthe baby?" ] Mary Barron Baid: "Here itis," and at the same tirno produced annrrpl from limner a. coat on hpf arm. Shfcfurther 6aid, "It was stillborn on Sun;day." I th<jn brought her to the barrack 1.On examining the parcel with Ke&dConstable OfConnor I found it containedthe dead body ot a female infant. It waswrapped up in an old white cloth, onteideof which âa.a woman's nightdress. Iremoved the|dead body to the morgue, andplaced it there. !

Tlie previous deposition of Head Con*stable O'Connor having been read, hanow furthcr| proposed :—On October 28th.last, in consequence of a complaint madeto mo. I w^nt with Constable Kennedy'to John 's lane. Before doing so I saw the'accused in the dayroom at Manor StreetBarrack I »aw th» parcel spoken oi. Iwent to John's lane to the house of AnneKavanagh , o!nd was shown the bed which'the accused occupied there. Having exa-mined the bed, I returned to the barrackand examined the .parcel shown me by'Constable Kennedy, and fouhd it contain-ed the body of a female infan t, whichappeared fully developed and vtuwrapped as I described. I examined thebody for wounds or. marks. I found abruise on th^ right 6de of tlie mouth, onwhich there was dry blood; a bruise nearthe right temple, and blood near the leftear. The front of tho head; above theforehead, was deeply discoloured , andthere was a noticeable indentation on thetop of the hoad. I was present when thebody was deposited in the morgue. Ialterwards had the accused oxamined byDr. KellchcrJ with her own consent andby directions] of Aid. Ward, J.P.

This concluded the evidence, snd, afterreading the charge, his worship asked theaccused if 'she had anythine to say. Shesobbed bitterly while making the follow-•ing statement:—"I don't remembertouching the baby. I got the baby undermy back. I had nobody with me. I hadno food. I was out of bed half the nightunder the rain. I had nothing to drinkonly cold watdr. I got out of bed. I don 'tknow what time the baby was born, as itwas dark. I| got out of bed about eighto'clock, and stopped in the room all day.I got up the next day and washed, and thnnext day, and I got no food all tho timeexcept very little. I was going out thatmorning to ge^ thrf baby buried. And if.that waa not hard luck ! I was out of myhealth sine* February."

The accused was then returned Tor trialto next assizes for the City of Wnterford .
