The Bank of England notes,
good as they are all over the world,
are not a legal tender in Scotland
or Ireland. In Ireland they are
not allowed to circulate at all.
The moment they reach the Irish
banks they are cut in two, and re-
turned weekly to the Bank of En-
gland, to be exchanged either for
gold or Iri sh notes. On the 9TH
er hand an Irish or Scotch bank
note is as rare sight in England
as Chinese ambassador.

And said in a whisper, II wish from my heart

A serious outbreak among miners in

RADIO, is reported. Report says the riot
arose from the failure of w. ii. Stevens
and other Detroit capitalists, to meet
the demands of miners for pay due
them. The miners seized Stevens and
two others, named Wood and Northrup,
and put them under a strong guard.
They demanded of Stevens check for
$4,000; or enough to take the entire
body of eiglry-hve back to Detroit.
Stevens issued check which detach.
ment of men took to the bank of Fair
play, with Stevens clerk. The bank
paid the check, and a second check
for the same amount was forced from
Stevens. Subsequently programme
for lynching Stevens was prepared and
its execution announced for last Sun.

until Monday night, the 18th, but the
current belief is that no further vic.

engaged in the riot are from Detroit,
Michigan. At present il is impossible
to determine who are responsible for
the riot.
