Back From the Worlds Fair.

The editor of this paper is back
from the Worlds Fair. 1t was our
intention to have written another let
ter from Chicago, but could not well
do so. Local matters of more interest
and Importance now claim attention,
hence we give it the preference, and
will let our correspondent on the
ground entertain our readers as to
the Fair.
All who possibly can spare the
time and small expense of the trip,
should see our great Worlds Fair.
Another such opportunity for ac-
quaintanceship with the outside
world, and our own county as well,
will not be afforded in lifetime.

But it's only reasonable. AS a
blood-cleanser, flesh-builder, and

come from torpid liver, or impure

it is the only guaranteed remedy. In

HOME RULE BILL PASSED.
The Long Struggle in the House OF Com
mons Ended, and the Liberals
Win by Vote Of
sol to 2B7.

The home rule bill passed the House OF
Commons on Saturday morning. The vote
was 3O1 to 267. This ends long and very
bitter fight. but II may be expected that tho
final success of home rule Is not yet reached.
As Mr.. Gladstone rode from his house to
the Parliament buildings he was given al
ovation. The cheering was continuous from
the crowds that lined the streets. As Mr..
Gladstone, with barred head, pnssed through
the crowd and entered the House II was no
ticcd that he was very pale. number Of
Irish priests were prominent In the crowd In
front Of the House and lifted their hats rs the
prime minister passed them.
Closing speeches were made by Cham
berlin, Morley, Balfour, Mccarthy aud
others.
Mr.. J. P. Nolan, a Parnellitc Home-rulcr,
then attempted to speak against the financial
clauses OF the bill, but had hardly started
when his voice was overcome bv cries OF 'Dl-
vide" Thereupon division was had upon
Mr.. Courtney's amendment to reject the BILL,
and the amendment was defeated.
The bill was then put on its third reading
and was passed by vote Of DO1 to 2G7.
The full import OF the occasion Was felt
by the spectators and by the government nd
hcrcnts, and the result wns accompanied by
rounds Of frantic cheering from the galleries
and upon the floor. A moment later Mr..
Gladstone entered the House from the div-
sion lobby lie WAS greeted Rt the moment
Of his Victory by renewed applause. Mr..
Morley who followed him was alec cheercd
When the announcement TINT the House
had passed the home rule bill by n vote Of
8Ol to 287 was received outside the crowd
went wild. They chccrcd, shouted, sung,
embraced one another, smashed hats and Gid
other absurd things to show their npprecia-
tion of the Houses action.
The bill was hurried to the House OF Lords,
which gave 1t the first reading and adjourned.

: Barcelona Held by American Bulls.
Great excitement was caused in
Barcelona recently by an invasion OF
bulls. The town was literally at the
absolute mercy OF about 100 of these
animals, Three hundred American
bulls had that morning arrived by
the Italian cargo steamers. During
the unloading process Il rope that
bound a whole herd together suddenly
broke, and between ninety and 100
bulls escaped, The animals stam-
peded across the quay and finally dis
persed in different streets. The i'm
habitants were panic stricken. Soon
formidable battle was waged against
the infuriated animals. but it was not
till evening that the populace had
succeeded in partly killing and partly
capturing the greater number OF the
beasts. Two people were killed.

done to houses, shops and lamp posts
