IRELAND TO NEVER HAVE HOME RULE
Lord Balfour Says the Troubles Are Over II
Gladstone Is Reasonable.

OlaubtOne Is fke8SOn8Dlos
EDINBURGH, Nov. 2S-The Right Hon.
Arthur j. Balfour, First Lord of the
Treasury, has arrived here from Glasgow,
which city he visited for the purpose Of
being installed as Rector of the University
of Glasgow. He attended a conservative
meeting to-day and made an address
which was enthusiastically received. In
the course of his remarks, referring to Ire
land, he said he believed that Great Britain
would never again see q gigantic agrarian
conspiracy, fed by American funds, raise its
head in Ireland.
He did not believe that again would be
seen anything like the obstruction and de-
6ance formerly thrown into the teeth
of the British Parliament bv a
few Irish representatives.. Mr. Balfour
added that he hoped the country had fin
ally successfully emerged from its greatest
difficulties. All that Ireland now wanted,
he declared, was firm, liberal and kindly
government IF only Mr.. Gladstone ab-
stained from advocating impossible legisla-
tive remedies, Mr.. Balfour was confident
that permanent cure of Irish troubles was
affected. At the Glasgow meeting Mr..
Balfour said that no matter what the future
might bring forth it would never bring
home rule to Ireland.

CAPTURE By A GOOD
LOOKING ENGLIsHMAN.

A Much w anted New York Crook Run
Down by q Scotland YARD Detective
Details OF the Arrest of Tom O'Brien-
Another Man Taken In.
tBY CABLE TO THE DrsPArcH.1
LONDON, Nov. ,28-During the last two
or three weeks guests Of the Metropole and
Victoria hotels have had an opportunity to
make the acquaintance of good-looking
young Englishman dressed in the height oil
London fashion, who has been hanging about
the smoking rooms of the two hostelries,
apparently with no further purpose
than the consumption of brandy and soda.
The good-looking young Englishman, how.
ever, did have a further purpose, and he
accomplished it last Wednesday, when he
arrested Tom O'Brien, the well-known New
York crook, who is wanted on Manhattan
Island for grand larceny and at Albany fol
Jumping his bail.
The good-looking young Englishman was
Inspector Frank c. Froest, of Scotland
Yard, and O'Brien was the third American
criminal he had arrested this week, the
other two being John Mccormick, who is
charged with forgery by the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, of New York,
and Joseph j. Ashforth, charged with en-
bezzling funds from the Royal Arcanum.
Froest was given the warrants in
the three cases. The first two
he executed with comparatively little
difficulty, but O'Brien has kept him busy
for some time, and Detective Reilly, of In
spector Byrnes' staff, who is over here to
take Mccormack back, made matters more
interesting by informing the English detec-
tive that O'Brien was q man who would not
be taken alive, and would sell his lite
dearly.
A week ago the police learned that
O'Brien was living at Hotel L'Athenee, in
Paris, but before the French and English
authorities could combine their forces he
got wind of their intentions aud decamped
on Tuesday. His capture on Wednesday
was by mere chance. Froest was taking
luncheon in the Gattis restaurant in the
Strand, early in the afternoon, with Charles
Hodson, clerk in the United States Lega-
tion, who knew 0'Brien by sight, when
O'Brien, who had just arrived from Paris,
came across from Charing Cross station to
name and placed him under arrest
O'Brlen was taken SO completely by sur
prise that he admitted his identity at once,
and made no effort to escape. "You can't
do anything with me, anyway" he said.
1.-THE extradition law wasn't in force when
I made my play" In an hour O'Brien had
sent for Arthur Newton, the celebrated
criminal lawyer, who will make fight to
resist extradition. Detective Reilly intends
to take Mccormack back next week.
Still another man was arrested in London
this week in the person of Colonel Lorimer
Graham, who is said to have served during
the Civil War on the Confederate side. Gra-
ham has long been resident Of London,
where his principal occupation has been
borrowing money from visiting Americans,
He is charged with attempting to pass a
fictitious check.

there are at present paid on sliding scale,
prepared and agreed to by representatives
of mine owners and the men.
The mine owners have taken the ground
that the agreement at present in force bears
unfairly upon them, and to-day they an
nounced that next month they would abolish
the sliding scale and would thenceforth
engage their employees individually. This
announcement affects 70, 900 men in the dis
trict mentioned. As yet they have taken
no action, but it is believed there will be q
bitter fight against the decision Of mine
owners.

These numerous tokens Of sympathy have
emboldened the Archbishop so much that
he threatens to set the Government at de-
fance and go to Rome whenever, he pleases
Possibly his ardor will cool on reflection,
but if he carries out his intention, the
French Government cannot overlook it
without stultifying itself. Consequently
all moderate men are of the opinion that
the original prosecution was mistake, and
this is now shown by the Government
being driven into prosecution of the
Figaro for raising the fund to pay the Arch
bishops fine, a step which will probably
force another series of prosecutions.

A FEW FACTS.
Study Them If You Would Make
Money.

Many strangers are now visiting Roam
oke and Investigating the opportunities
she offers for making money rapidly by
nvosting in manufactures and real
estate. We rejoice to know that very
few ever go away, after q careful exam
nation, with the aid Of q reliable real
estate agent, without attesting their
faith in the future of Virglnia's Magic
City by an investment, largo or small.
The assertion is frequently made, with
q challenge to all the world to disprove
1T, that no man ever lost a dollar on
Roanoke real estate. TIE TIMES OF last
Sunday published interviews by its staff
with numerous prominent citizens, none
of them worth less thar $50, 900, and
many counting their wealth at from
500, 600 to $500, 900, as to how they
earned their first 500. Every man intor-
viewed started in life poor, md many
have grown rich by investing the first
500 they saved in Roanoke real estate,
selling at a profit and investing again.
What has been accomplished in the
past. can bo repeated now or in the
future, provided Roanoke is selected as
the field for investment.
Property is steadily advancing in
value i'll nearly every portion of the
city and $500 or more invested this week
will return to you with handsome in
creaSeS next week. This much cannot
be said of every town for which a boom
is claimed, but it is undcniably true of
Roanoke.
OF course prospectors should exercise
good Judgment in the matter of select
ing location and property. Some peo-
pie set an example in this particular
that Ctrannnrc nom 1rya,r H.
with profit and safety. They RELY upon
the real estate agent, who, to merit
their confidence and patronage must
prove q reliable guide and advisor in
every instance.
Tho large and increasing patronage
of L. l.. Powell & Co., attests their re-
liability and they offer their services to
all who may come. Their books, which
are open for inspection to verify any
assertion made in their behalf, will
show that they have made fortunes for
many patrons, and consummated some
of the largest deals in the annals of tho
history of Southern real-estate transac-
tions.
Visitors will be met at tho depot if
they will kindly notify this firm of
their intention to como to Roanoke and
the day they expect to arrive. While
here carriages will be ut their disposal to
drive around the city.
a word of advice in closing his arti-
Gle will not be amiss. While we are
not permitted to give particulars, we can,
however, tender the assurance that
sever large and valuable new industries
have been secured for Roanoke. Five
will be located in "Wcst" and South
west Roanoke" n in South Roam
oke," and one in "Southeast Roanoke"
These plants will bring a large number
of skilled and unskilled laborers to the
city and many of them will want
homes. This fact will enhance the
value of property and it would be we'll
to purchase now. \

Delivering Letters Over the Marshes of
Gascony Stills.
Down in that portion of Gascony
which the French call the Landes, the
country is chiefly composed of vast
marshes and sandy plains, on which
the only crops planted are maize and
barley, and over which the sheep and
cattle Craze. So wide are the marshes,
especially in the interior, that the pop
ular mode of locomotion is on stilts
The shepherds never use anything
else, and they stalk about the country
after their herds like gigantic cranes
knitting as they walk. The exigen-
cies of the geologic formation affect
even official life, for the postmen must
also go on stills to accomplish their
deliveries. A civil service examina-
ton in his district would undoubt-
eddy take into account his capa-
bilities for gymnastics of this sort,
and though in general a postman
with wooden legs would be most unde-
sirable, in this case he is exactly what
is wanted. Philadelphia Times

The Colored Alliance.

The colored Alliance is a separa tie
and distinct organization from the
white Alliance. The former is not under
the direct or indirect control of the lat
ter, and has no identity with it what
ever. At the different national meet
ings one or two members of the COL
ored Alliance have been permitted to
appear before the national body and to
extend such greeting or afford such
assurances to the white Alliance as to
their purposes and plans as they
deemed advisable; but there has never
been colored representative to a
white national Alliance, nor a repre-
sentative of the white Alliance to a.
colored national Alliance The con-
stitution of the white Alliance re.
quires that every member shall be a
white person, with certain other quail
fcations; and it is understood that the
colored Alliances have the qualification
to membership that the applicant shall
be colored person.
The white alliance is in sympathy
with the coiored alliancemen, and ev-
erybody else, who embraces their OBJ
jects, and propose to carry out their
purposes. They seek to accomplish
certain purposes and measures and
they will accept all the aid and en-
couragement in that direction from
every source. While they are willing
that anybody may embrace their
plans, because they do embrace them
does not necessarily make the alliance
embrace the other fellow; and if he
should believe in atheism, that would
not make the alliance depart from it's
faith in the justice and mercy of the
omniscient God, nor cause it to aban-
don single one of its tenets of faith.
All the racket that has been caused
and made about colored alliances has
been done solely with the purpose of
dividing the membership of the white
alliance, creating schisms in it's ranks
and discussions among its members.
It will be kept up and urged with per-
sistence and zeal Alliance Herald.

It is ridiculous to say that you are
a friend to the alliance, but will not
endorse its platform. You cannot di-
vide the two. ant must accept both to-
gether or neither. What would the
alliance be without platform and dec
laration of principles? It would be
but rope of sand, that must soon fall
to pieces. There is nothing in a name
but the aims which an organization is
striving represents great deal. If you
can not endorse the Ocala platform
you are not friend to the AL
lance, and it is hypocracy to try
and pose as such. That instru-
ment is the tie that binds our
members together, and it demands
the goal for which they are striving.
You had as well profess to be friend
to the Christian church and deny the
divinity of our Savior. If you love
the alliance, you must also love our
platform. They are one and insepara-
