THE IRISH LEAGUE
Said to be Greatly Embarrassed for
Funds-The Mckinley Bill, Again.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Letters and telegram;
from Dublin published in the London papers
represent the Irish National League as
more closely pressed for money than had
been suspected. The special collections
taken in the churches will not more
than defray the ordinary expenses
of the League. They are now being
largely increased, owing to the numer-
GUS recent and impending eyictiOns.
1t is asserted by Timothy Harrington and
other prominent leaguers that the increased
activity Of the landlords at this juncture is
in pursuance of a concerted plan to en-
barrass the League at II time when ii is be-
lieved 10 be straitened for funds by
throwing upon it for support much
larger number of eyicted tenants. The
number TO be supported has certainly
greatly increased of late, while
the funds. with the closest economy Of ad-
ministratlon, admittedly hardly met the
expenditure. Should this continue, ii is
said, IA general election which the Govern
ment might at any favorable moment pre-
cipitate would find the bone OF the party
disabled in advance of the encounter.
Trade difficulties are arising in Shef
field out Of the Mckinley Tariff bill.
The manufacturers are anxious to cut
down wages in viewOf the loss of the Ameri-
can market and the cutters unions will not
consent. At Bradford several large man
ufacturers who had spoken of going to
America and starting establishments there,
have changed their mind in hope that the
bill will soon be modified or repealed.

L. and ID. railroad is considered the best
new road in the State, and some say, who
profess to know what they are talking
about, that it is the best-conducted road in
the United States. The road is said to be a
success financially, and the travel and
freights are on the increase monthly. So
far no accidents OF consequence have oc-

taken Of too much "blue head" made his

THE TARIFF.
France Proposes to Institute Keprlsals
Against the United states.

Especial to The Tines by Dunlap Cable Col
PARIS. oct. 22.-The following is an au-
thentic statement of the views Of the French
Government on the tariff question: The
first impression in France on the passing Of
the Mckinley bill was in favor of yielding
and Withdrawing the protection on
pork, and in that way TO avert
reprisals. but this has now changed. The
foreign Minister, Monsieur Ribot, repre-
sents that his protectionist constituency is
averse to the importation of American
pork. and moreover a strong impression
has been produced by the reports
received from Monsieur Max Le-
cere, the special correspondent OF the
Journal des Debats, in America,
that nothing is TO be hoped for from Amer
lea even if France yields. lie thinks the
President would not dare to exercise the
powers granted by the Edmund's amend
ment, aud France must therefore have re-
course to Teprisals-ylz: She must
exact for American merchandise i'm
ported into France certificates Of ITS origin
and guarantees of its authenticity. This
course will first be applied to the lard. and
also the petroleum, which is being intro
duced as crude, and thus escapes
the higher duty, whereas is Is al
ready refined. Monsieur Rib0t will not
Immediately revoke the decree which
prohibits the importation OF pork, but
will insist that guarantees be furnished OF
lis having undergone IA sanitary eXamina-
ton in the United States, as he believes this
will be impossible on account of the rapid
ity o. the preparation of pork in Chicago,
and he will thus have grounds for refusing
to suppress the decree OF the prohibition.

Woman's Good Taste.

b keeping with the rapid strides made
along other lines in this country the past few
years, the furnishings of American houses
have assumed an artistic tone that puts to
shame the crude and glaring colors and the
awkward designs of the furniture which pre-
dominated less than score of years ego
Such furnishings were considered tasteful
then, but to eyes educated up to the present
standard how discordant. A hint of tine ar
tistic taste with which woman is more or less
endowed was even then displayed in the
tasteful groupings of furniture and the good
arrangement of ornamental pieces, such as
they were, and it is this taste, developed and
educated, with better materials, that makes
the interior of the home of today what it is
So much has been accomplished in this re-
form that scarcely a home can now be found
even the most unpretentious, that is not
pleasant to look upon on account OF the ar
tistic combination of things useful and orna-
mental, and where the tastes Of the family
are displayed regardless of how Others plan
their homes.-Lewiston Journal.

A Formidable Weapon.

Extreme low water in the Mississippi
recently unearthed an historical relic at
tine ferry landing at Columbus, KY, in
the shape of huge, old fashioned col
umbiad, which did duty during the late
war in the hands of the Confederates.
Those familiar with the history of the
formidable weapon state that it played a
conspicuous part in the battle of Bel
mont, No., in the fall of 1861, and that
from its lofty perch on the bluffs above
Columbus it sent many huge shell
screaming across the river into Grants
army, and that it had more to do with
keeping the gunboats at bay than all
others at the fort. The gun is the only
remaining relic of the Confederate forti-
fcations erected at Columbus, KY, thir-
ty years ago.-Chicago Times.

The Word Jew.

A gentleman writing to The Jewish
Exponent, of Philadelphia, says: ''Sev
eraI years ago commenced writing fol
the daily papers, making speciality Of
Jewish news. For several weeks, when
one of the copy-readerS would handle
my copy for the first time, would be
called to the front and warned not to
use the word Jew, as some of our lead
ing Jewish residents had frequently
taken the paper to task for using the
word, viewing its usage as an intended
slur, and this was said to paper whose
advertising columns TEEN with the
names of representative Jewish mer-
chants"
The readers of The Tidings will OBJ
serve that this paper does not hesitate to
use the word Jew whenever occasion de-
mands. In fact, the word is infinitely
preferable to that Of Hebrew, and i'm
plies great deal more. The word Jew
has come to be regarded as referring to
religion, and the word Hebrew to Ian
guage.
Those Jews who object to reference to
them as Jews are a sorry lot and deserve
1npathy.-Rochester Jewish Tidings.
