suspended on a substantial standard.
1t is painted black, and is divided
lengthwise by narrow yellow lines into
twenty-four divisions, representing the
hours of the day, while other lines dr.
vide it horizontally into miles. -Four
inches are allowed to each hour, and
one-half inch to each mile. On one
side the names of the fifty-nine sla

but when a person lies fiat on this
ground the phenomenon becomes
really alarming. The sound indicates
that the water is not any great distance
down and that it is not small stream,
but majestic river that is coursing
unseen in che bowels of the earth en-
its way to the sea. Vehicles passing
over the ground where the phenome-
non exists create hollow echoes from
below, and the earth in the vicinity for
great distance around seems to be
cavernous, judging from the sounds
that follow.

and Mr.. Dennis Kearney, one of Sheriff
Martin Aguirre's most able deputies.
The invitations which were sent out must
have been responded to, for there was
quite an attendance within the cathedral
walls. The bride, who looked charming
in q handsome psarl-grey robe, was at

The street-sweepers struck an unex-

were cleaning up the streets. A disciple

he could walk about with, lay down for
rest in the gutter, and when the rotary
broom came along it swept him onto his
feet. He gave quite performance as a
result of being thus Unexpectedly awak-

Archbishop WaIsh's Speech.

LONDON, May 9.-Archbishop
Walsh continued his testimony be-
fore the Parnell commission today.
He said the facts that had come to his
knowledge proved that the league
tended to diminish crime. There
had been a gradual decadance in
those sections in Ireland since 1866.
He was aware that the leagU g
had advised tenants not to enter the
land courts after the passage of the
act establishing that court in 1887.
Subsequent events had justified that
advice. He only knew of one in
stance where the land league had
been indiscreet. This indiscretion
consisted of the passage of a resolu-
ton by branch of the league.
