TRIED TO WORK THE PADDOCK RACKET

The two confidence fellows, giving their
names as IL L. Laiiesh and ]. D. Shepherd,
had their hearing before Justice Field yes
terday. The testimony showed that tho
two were partners working the little pad
lock scheme Shepherd took the role of the
Veruant stranger, who was anxious to bet
any amount of money that he could open the
mysterious paddock exhibited by I.aflesh.
Laiiesh was always willing to bet but
unfortunately had no means except
draft which he was willing to
put up as security, ii the saloon
man would lend him the money necessary to
make the bet and capture the verdant's
money. The game was tried in several Main
street saloons but no one bit, and the pair
OF sharpers found themselves suddenly
tumbled into patrol wagon aud headed for
the station. On the way there Shepherd
crumpled up and dropped a draft for 81 500,
ana his partner in like manner tried to get
rid of the little paddock. These evidences of
the business were picked up by the police,
however, and the fellows had to face them in

THE IRISH HOME RULE BILL.

Mr.. Gladstone's bill providing Home
Rule for Ireland, which is now the prime
object OF attention in Parliament, is a
compromise measure, and is in reality
only stepping stone towards Home Rule
pure and genuine. Such as ii Is. how
ever. IT will be opposed by the Radicals.
who do not favor any such measure at all.
and by the Protestant province of Ulster,
in the North OF Ireland, for which no
separate provision is made in the bill.
II is proposed by the bill which Mr..
Gladstone has prepared to establish
Parliament in Dublin. consisting OF an
Upper House. to have 1903 members, OF
which Is are to be peers, to hold Office for
thirty years. and the other seventy-five
are to be elected TO serve ten years by
the property-owners. The Lower House
is TO have 24 members to be elected by
existing Parliamentary constituencies, also
to serve ten years. These two houses are
to assemble only at the call Of the Queen,
and are to be prorogued at her will. II
they fail to agree upon any bill 1t is to be
referred to committee. and IL the COM
mittee in turn fail to agree. then the
measure is to be submitted to the 'ote of
the people.
The powers of this proposed congress
are to be very restricted. 1t is not to
eract any laws relating TO the Crown, to
trade or navigation. or TO tariff duties
and internal revenue. Besides. 1t is to be
debarred. for five years after its estab-
)ishment. from action in regard to land,
the Judiciary. or even the royal Irish con-
stabulary. which are merely a British
police force kept In ireland to preserve
order and make arrests. In addition to
all these restrictions. the Crown is to re-
tain an absolute veto on all bills passed
by the Parliament. and the British Priyy
Council are to decide all controversies In
regard TO the extent Of Its powers
Under this bill Ireland is to continue TO
have representation in the Imperial Par
lament OF 1903 members. elected by ex-
listing constituencies. and who may vote
on questions which are forbidden TO the
Dublin Parliament. These imperial repre-
ssntsttvss may aise b members Of the
