:-s..a,E DUBLIN.
We deeply regret to announce the death
of the Rev. Michael Waters, S. j., which
occurred on November %, at the Jesuit
PresbYtery, Gar diner street, Dublin, after
a prolonged illness. The deceased, who
had reached the age of 81 years, was for
some time on the secular mission before
joining the Jesuit order. He was ZEAL
ously devoted to the work of the missions,
and in his capacity as spiritual director
of the Sacred Heart, Home and manager
of ST.. Francis Xavier's Schools, Lower
Dorset street, rendered great service to
the cause of the protection and education
Of the children of the Dublin poor. He
Was also spiritual director of the Con-
ference of the Saint Vincent de Paul So
ciety attached to the Gardiner Street
Church, and was always foremost In
every work undertaken by the Confer
ence for the relief of the destitute and
orphaned Even in the ranks of the gift
ed order to which he belonged his death
will create gap which it will be hard to
fill.
The Tory government has made mp
its mind not to appoint judge to fill the
vacancy created by the death Of justice
Harrison. 1t will be interesting to know
what they are going to do with the salary
of the office. The overtaxation Of Ire
land is defended by the treasury ON the
ground that; though the money is ex-
tracted from the country by the present
system Of taxation, the excess is returned,
in, one form or another to the country.
The defense is poor one, and the con-
ISOLATION it contains for the Irish tax
paper is even poorer. ~ But, at all events,
it earmarks all the money hitherto spent
on Irish departments as Irish money, to-
be- expended for Irish purposes. Where,
then. is this money going? The t3,5OO
a. year would be a welcome addition to
the Congested Districts fund.

Letters were read announcing the death
Of Herr Oberthur, the harpist, on which
sad event appropriate resolutions were
adopted. Mr.. William J. Simpson, Bel
fast. wrote saying that he had completed
the design for the gold medal he in
tended presenting to the committee for
competition. The design, model OF an
ancient Irish harp, had been copied from
the Book Of Kells. The harp, which
would be. three inches in length. would
be suspended from a gold bar, on which
a suitable inscription could be engraved.
