The New Census of Ireland,
From the preliminary report of the GEN.
sus, which has been brought out within two
months of the enumeration, Ireland does
not appear to have prospered during the last
decade, so far as prosperity is indicated by
population. The natural increase in the
number of inhabitants arrived at by sub
tracing S79,7 779 deaths from 1, ,147, ,432 births
during the period would have been 267, ,653;
but the absolute decrease is 468,6 ,674 This
diminution of 81 per cent is double that of
the period 1S71-81, when it was only "A per
cent, and is accounted for by the emigra-
tlon OF 16S, l05 persons.
Previous inquiries have shown that two
thirds of the emigrants are persons between
the ages of 20 and 45; and there can be no
doubt that the wholesale departure of the
young and vigorous leaves the remaining
population with an undue proportion of in
firm and aged persons. The natural increase
of population is very small, and, as the two
last enumerations have shown, early mar
riages are excessively rare, and the Irish
birth-rate is abnormally low when COM
pared with that of England and other Euro
pean countries

was born his father was engaged In wooden
manufactures at Blairsville, but the indus
try was unsuccessful, and the adversely
Preylng upon his mind he died In poverty
In 1913. This circumstance is interesting
because that mans granddaugh ghter is now
the wealthiest woman in Pittsburg. Josiah
Copley was bound boy in his youth, q
printer of Indiana, Pa, becoming his mas
ter in apprenticeship in 1873 The term Of
apprenticeship was to be for six years: The
first three he spent nearly altogether on
horseback among the Indiana hills, as q
carrier of the mail In 1925 he began busi-
ness as printer in Kittanning, and for
eight years edited the Kittanning Gdzetta.
From that time on Mr. Copiey became re-
cognlzed in the then rising literature OF the
great country west of the Alleghenies In
1883 he became editor of the Pittsburg
Gazette, but his health failing in two years,
he had to move back to Armstrong county.
The Work of His Pen.
He took up his residence at Appleby
Manor, on the hill above what is now the
village of Manorville, two miles south of
K1ttanning. There he managed farm,
maintained financial interest in brick
factory, and wrote all the time for several
journals. Not only were the Pittsburg
newspapers enriched by his pen from this
country seat, but in this farmhouse he wrote
a series of papers that he published In book
form under the title, Thoughts of Favored
Hours, Gatherings in Beulah," and
Gathered Sheaves" were other work books
from his pen. They were of a religious
character. From 1850 to 1862 he was again
editor of the Pittsburg Gazette In 1860 he
removed once more to Pittsburg, and the
war breaking out engrossed his attention in
the work of the Christian and Sanitary Com
missions which made Pittsburg famous
among the soldiers at the 'front.'
= Although Mr.. Copley was a representa-
tive of the class of old-time Pittsburg edit
ors, now existing only in memory, he was
like the modern school of journalists in one |

HORRIBLY BURNED.
MRS. ELIZABETH HAZLETTS CLOTH
ING ENTIRELY DESTROYED.

She Jumps From Fourth Story Window
Disinfecting Room When the Chemi-
cal Exploded.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, June 27.-Mrs. Elizabeth M
Hazlett, well-known woman in Brooklyn,
this afternoon met with an accident which
caused her an agonizing death.
She is the wife of Samuel E. Hazlek, a
very wealthy and influential man. They
live at 13S Remsen street. 1t was Just be-
fore o'clock that Mrs. Hazlett went to a
room in the fourth story of the house in
which she lived to disinfect it. To do this
she was to burn a preparation. No one
knows exactly what happened, but it is
supposed that she lighted some of the stuff.
and by accident set fire to her clothing with
the match she had used. In an instant, at
all events, she was in a flame. Her cloth
ing was of light material and very infam-
mab1e, and it was impossible for her to help
herself in any way. The pain was unbear-
able and 1t is supposed Mrs Hazlett did not
know what she was doing.
The window was near at hand. In an in
slant she had thrown up the sash and then
made flying leap through it toward the
ground. Some persons looking out of win
dows which faced the rear of the Hazlett
house saw her jump and gave the alarm.
There is an extension of the Hazlett house
which goes up as far as the third story.
Upon the roof of this Mrs. Hazlett alighted.
The fall did not kill her, but she was
severely bruised. In the meantime her
clothing was burning. James Steiner, Gen.
eral Woodruff's coachman, was the first one
who came to the unfortunate woman's aid.
He ran up through the house as soon as he
heard of the accident and jumped through
the window upon the roof Of the extension
Others soon came to his aid and Mrs. Hazlett
was carried in. Every bit.o her clothing
was burned away from her body. Her shoes
even were partially destroyed. 1t was seen
that her case was hopeless. At o'clock she
died

MANCHESTER, June 27.-A private eD-

gun which, it is predicted, will supersede q
great part of the ordnance now in use.
The inventor is j. E. Bott, an engineer,
and the details as to the design, ETC.; of the
new piece are kept profound secret until
the American and continental patents have
been secured.
The principle of the gun is pneumatic,
and it is claimed that it will surpass the

throw 30 pounds of dynamite distance of
three miles. The new weapon, it is as
serted, can be fired twice minute.

tBrCABLE To THE DIsPATCH.l
LONDON, June 27.-Opposition to Mr..
Chaplin's bill for Regulating" the Trans
atlantic cattle trade out of existence has as
sumed such formidable proportions that the
measure Is doomed for this session at any
rate. The Tories representing agricultural
constituencies are of course strongly in
favor of the bill, and they are
supported by a small section Of the
Liberal party. But the ability and
activity with which the shipowners have
placed the true meaning of Mr.. Chaplin's
schema before the country is rapidly con-
vincing this Liberal minority feeling that
the bill is an insidious attempt at protec-
zionist legislation, is greatly strengthened
to-day by the publication in the newspapers
of a letter from Allan Bros & Co., who
thus conclude a powerful indictment of the
Board of Agriculture:
What is the urgency that requires such ex-
traordinary powers to be vested in officials
in this hurried, unconsidered way at
period Of the session when many valuable
and necessary measures have had to be with
drawn? Has the mortality of the cattle in
creasedf Why, one-sided report OF the de-
partmenta1 committee of these farmers
shows that it has steadily decreased.
Never were the statistics more favora-
Dlo Inls very year. NOTWITHSTANDING
the long and severe winter weather, the to-
tai loss of cattle from all causes upon the
steamers consigned to Us, and, although the
cattle were mainly carried upon deck, and
the bridge deck SO animadverted on in the
report, has been less than one-fifth of per
cent, a mortality that would not be exces-
sive upon their own pastures.
The Canadian and United States Govern
ments are just issuing new regulations that
have the advantage over any that our Board
of Agriculture can formulate, that they ap-
ply to all ships OF all nations and not merely
hamper British ships for the benefit Of
foreign competitors. Careful inspection
upon loading cattle by the officials of these
two Governments and the surveyors of the
underwriters and anxiety of the owners to
maintain a good reputation for successful
are quite sufficient protection
for the animals. They may not be a suf-
fcient protection for the British farmer
