"Will McDermot shot partridge last week

farm. When it fell to the ground fox
came out of his hiding place and took the
bird and made off with it to a safe distance
before the gun could be reloaded for use"
The Methodist house of worship of Lud-
low is re0pened after having been closed
several weeks for repairs and improve

the occasion and administered the com

DEpEw ON SIBERIAN.

Chauncey M. Depew has been inter-
viewed on the subject Of Sherman's book
He says, Senator She11nan's book, espe-
cially that part Of 1t relating to the Re-
publican national convention of '88, nat
urally evokes great deal of criticism.
The time, nearly eight years ago, and the
confusion which always attends exciting
events in the convention, will account for
the discrepancy in the narratives of many
of the gentlemen who, since the publica-
ton of the book and Senator Sherman's
interviews, have contributed their me-
moirs, so to speak.
"But obituaries are for future, not for
present reading, as rule, and in this In
stance Senator Sherman has succeeded In
drawing out an exceedingly lively corpse
1t is certainly a very serious charge that
one candidate purchased delegates, there
by injuring and taking away from the ia
vorite of another state many votes. After
the adjournment Of the convention the
air is always full Of rumors of that kind" "
There are always enough, Of course, Of
overt promises made by the representa-
tives of candidates to substantiate che
charge Of bargain. But the candidate
when in Office, repudiates these pledges on
two grounds--hrst that he has not and
world not have been party to bargain
to get the position, and second, that no
s1,ch contract. was ever made known to
him. ~ AS. S

THE r1ovEnENT GROWING.

The movement begun in Chicago for
the relief of Ireland is growing even
more than it's most sanguine friends
ever expected. In our own state the in
terest taken in the affairs Of the old land
is worthy of the highest praise. The
men engaged in promoting all the de-
tails necessary to the accomplishment of
a great end are working with will.
The meeting on Saturday night last is an
index of what may be expected for the
future. 1t was but step, to be sure, but
it marked the earnestness Of the men
who are giving their time and attention
to the cause. Day after day new in
terest will be taken. The idea that some
thing is being done makes converts to the
timent of enthusiasm. 1t would not be
surprising that in year hence the feel
ing that is now being displayed will ripen
into results that are tangi ble-tangible to
the extent that he thought Of Irishmen
will be quickened and that when the day
dawns that England will display flaw
in her armor then will thessopportunity
have come to the sons Of the land that
are scattered broadcast throughout
every portion Of the known world.
The Irishanen of Minneapolis are doing
a splendid work and are meeting with
every encouragement.
