promiscuously were cards bearing this
inscription:-"We advertise each man
who gives US a Donation" Every
man VINO seemed at all inclined
was in great demand. He was escorted
the variety store. When all the points of
interest had been visited, he was a wreck
financially, but at the same time laden
with articles well worth the prices asked
for them,
The fair is under the supervision of the
young ladies who comprise the St. Hilda,
St. Mary and Junior st. Hilda Guilds OF
the church. The memb bers were there in
full force and as saleswomen they cannot
be equalled. Wares were disposed of at
fair prices and the receipts were large.

until tomorrow evening at ten O'Clock,
when the remaining articles, if there be
any, will be disposed of.

made February IL. 1892, and on March 26,
1892 Mrs. Grant died.
John fled a bill to have the property
partitfoned among the heirs and his
mortgage paid. Lizzie, since the death
Of her mother, has become Mrs. John
Colwell and Sarah has become Mrs
Michael Brophy, while George is minor.
These three children filed an answer to
Johns bill. They claimed that they
signed the mortgage under misappre-
hension. They did not know that they
owned the property. but always thought
that 1t belonged to their mother, They
signed the mortgage, thinking &hat it
was In the nature of will, and that in
doing so they were only carrying out the
wishes of their mother in regard to the
disposition of her own property. They
furthermore alleged That John agreed, in
consideration of the mortgage, to provide
for his mother during her life time and
pay her funeral expenses at ner demise;
all OF which, they claim, he did not do.
The matter came Ep for hearing on
proofs. John and Father Killeen testi-
fed to the above facts. Each of the other
children declared that they signed the
mortgage under misapprehension as
set forth In their answer Lawyer Ro-
binson positively testified that he ex-
planned fully to the children their true
position as to the property, and they all
seemed willing that John should have
the $500 and signed the mortgage. The
case is still on.

GLADSTONE'S IRISH BILL.

Lord Ripon States It's Provisions-The
Prime Minister and Labouchere.
LONDON. Dec. /. 1S92-The Marquis of
Ripon. Secretary of State for the Colon
les. made speech at the Eighty Club
yesterday in which he confirmed the re-
Hert sent to America some time ago CIV
III z the outlines of Mr.. Gladstone's Home
Rule bill.
The Marquis also referred to gthe de-
tails of au alleged Home Rule scheme
first published in Baltimore paper and
cabled TO this country. Said he:-"Our
friends across the water are very smart,
as you know very well, but l would not
recommend them to put their money on
the horse that was trotted forth on Tues
day, as the animal is not at all like the
horse that is now being trained at Ha-
Warden.'
Continuing. the Marquis said the meas
ure of Home Rule the Liberal party
meant to submit to Parliament would
not be less extensive than the bill pre-
sented in 1886. although the Cabinet
would profit by the experl ence gained in
the last six years, and would endeavor to
remove the defects and improve the de-
tails of that measure.
The Chronicle announces that formal
reconciliation has been affected between
MIR. Gladstone and Mr., Lapouchere.
Mr.. Gladstone visited Mr.. aud Mrs.
Labouchere yesterday and took TIA with
them. A cordial interview between the
gentlemen resulted in the removal of ali
grounds of personal feeling, although
Mr.. Labouchere is unchanged in the
opinion that 1ntrigues led to his exclu-
sion from the Cabinet.
