more fervent supporters of the principles

the people OF the united parishes of
Drumglass (Dungannonl, killyman and

DONEGAL.
The remote district of Gartau, in the
Donegal Highlands, was, on Aug. 20, the
| scene OF great festivities to welcome
Mrs. Adiar's son and his wife on their
arrival from America. The tenants on
| the estate were entertained at a dinner in
the afternoon in the vicinity of Gartau
Lake, and when Mrs. Adair drove over
| from the castle in the afternoon to meet
| her son. who was coming from Letter
kenny, she was met by several hundred
OF her tenants, who gave her q most en-
| thusiastlc reception.
\ Several member of Parliament, writes
the London correspondent of the Man
| chester Guardian, are making the high
| lands of Donegal their Headquarters for
! the holiday season. From a private let
ter which I have just received it would
appear that all the best hotels are full
| for some weeks to come; which means
that, in this district, at any rate, Ireland
is getting her share of the tourist traffic

DUBLIN.
| The recent "Horse Show at Ballsbridge,
Dublin, proved such a success financially,
and all other ways, that it promoters have
already lnooted the proposal of winter
cattle show. Last years record was high
one, but this years surpassed it. AS a
horse show the exhibition was unique.
There never were better horses exhibited
in Ballsbridge, of all classes, and there
| never were more people to see them.
| On Thursday August II, the final stage
Of the Dublin building trade dispute was
reached, when a settlement acceptable and
| satisfactory to all parties concerned was
arrived at, on the basis Of mutual conces-
sions, and all the men concerned in build
ing concerns agreed to resume work on the
following Monday. This happy result-so
| important to vast body OF mechanics and
laborers-was mainly brought about by the
judicious intervention, as mediator, of the
Most Rev. DR.: Walsh, archbishop of Dub
lin, who has received the unanimous thanks
of ali the parties concerned. Upon the
long disputed apprentice question it was
| agreed that in all instance apprentices must
produce their certificates when required by
| the employers, showing the date when
bound, the rate of wages for this class Of
| workers to be regulated by the number Of
years the apprentices have worked. In the
| case of proposed fundamental change in
any of the rules, it is specified that three
months notice must be given by the parties
advocating the change, a reply to be re-
ceived one month after by the person or
persons to whom such communication has
been addressed.

| Irish cyclist, who is now the acknowledged

turn to his native city, Dublin. Il is in
| the nature of things that Dublin men
should be specially keen on cycling, for the
| invention which revolutioniZed the exer-
else and set the whole world rolling
smoothly on pneumatic tires, had its first
start in Dublin. Properly organized, the
proposed cycle procession which IS to es-
cort the worlds champion from Kingstown
to Dublin, promises to be most interest

Lady Morgan wrote, "the mast car-driv-

| in the world Barring accidents, the dem
onstration is bound to be q success.
Typhoid fever OF a yirulent character has
broken out among the troops in the Dublin
| barrack, and is especially rife in the cav
airy quarters. Labouchere'a paper, the
London TRUTH, says that on the next oc-
currence of death in the Dublin garrison
verdict Of manslaughter should be brought
| in. against the secretary Of state or the
commander chief. and that one or other
| of these functionaries or both should be
put on their trial in a criminal court for
persistent official disregard Of hygienic
