VISITORS to the World fair who have
been kissing what they believed to bet
BIarney stone have been wasting their
time, as it is said that the original stone
is still in Ireland, while the Chicago
stone is nothing more than a fake. Ac-
cording to an affidavit of Sir George
Covethwist, owner of Blarney Castle,
the real stone is intact and is being
kissed regularly by pilgrims to the Castle.

IT is stated that Ex- President Harri-

In the test of endurance in the Uni
ted States senate in order to repeal the
Sherman silver law, the silver senators
came out best, the repealers being
obliged to give up the idea of keeping
the senate in session until the bill to re-
peal the law was passed. The bill is
still before the senate and it is only a
question of time until public opinion will
compel the senate to find some way of
allowing the majority to rule.
