the Secretary of State for War to the
case of Michael OKeefe, formerly of A

ment, and received medal and clasp
for distinguished services in the field,

A magnificent marble pulpit is on
view at the works of Messrs. Harrison &
Sons, sculptors, Great Brunswick street
Dublin, previous to it's erection in Newry
Cathedral. The style of architecture
adopted is the l4th century English
Gothic, all the details of mould
| ing and carving being strictly character
istic of that period. The central panel
contains very fine group, the subject
being the Sermon on the Mount. .
Eight smaller panels contain curved en-
blems and foliage, while Sicilian and
statuary marble are the materials chiefly
used in it's construction. The design
was entrusted to the hands of q. C.
Ashlin, r. III. A. architect.
DUBLIN.
! Trinity College has joined with the
Irish College of Surgeons and the Col
lege of Physicians in protest to Mr..
Campbell against the exclu-
sive appointment OF examiners from
English institutions, however highly
qualified, as examiners for candidates
for the Army Medical Service. 1t is
pointed out that half the present Army
Medical staff hold Irish qualifications,
and that the new system will have the
unquestionable effect of unduly attract
ing the future candidates from the Irish
institutions to the English, which by the
presence of these examiners on their
teaching staff may seem better able to
give the special training needed for the
examination.
