noble old ruin
The next place visited was Glengariff,
and here the doctor halted his audi
ence to dwell for one day. He hesitated
long before he could leave it and then
only after he had impressed the beauty
and grandeur of its scenery in his mind
10 carry with him through life. He does
not hesitate to say that Glengariff is
the finest spot on earth. From there he
took the stage TO Killarney and present
ed a vivid picture OF the route-the
beautiful mountains the green valleys,
the singing streams, the roaring cata-
racts,' the wild ferns and flowers, the
grazing herds, the pleading beggers, the
girls selling mountain dew. and. in fact
everything. He said that if he had the
talents Of a poet or painter ne would
devote all his life writing one poem or
painting one picture TO try and properly
represent the beauty Of the upper lake.
He then described Muckross Abbey. the
house where Cromwell lived, the bridge
tnat Cromwell passed, the gap Of Dun
toe and the spot upon which The sun of
heaven never shed its light. From this
dark, dank place he took his audience
through the gap and showed them all
the gradeur of rugged nature beyond.
His description of Killarney was grand.
At this point the doctor rested and re-
freshed his audience by telling two
laaghable stories; one about an impro-
yised Irish wake and the other describ-
ing the septennial battle between the
devil and st. Patrick. From This point
on DR.. Berry travelled as a tramp and
thus came in touch with the lower
classes-the classes he wanted TO see.
LIec IT,
wretched pictures which many In the
congregation did not believe but which
every Irishman knows 10 be true He
Travelled on 10 the fair of Tiperary where
he saw regular Donybrook fight which
he described as accurately as il was
amusing. From there ne went TO Lin
erick, where he attended the dedication
Of the new Catholic cathedral which
was great event. From Limerick he
went out 10 the old John Wesley prop
erty and went from there to Dublin
and Belfast. He paid a glowing tribute
to Parnell and OConnell He had a
splendid conception Of ParnelPs politi-
cal attitude and his genius for leader
ship. He grew most eloquent when he
came to Londonderry. He described the
siege 200 years ago in the most impass-
ioned language and while doing so in
dulged in sentiments as lofty as the
soul of a man ever rose to. They were
sublime, grand beautiful. divine.
Doctor Berry closed his lecture with
the prayer-that poetic prayer-once
upon a st. Patrick's day delivered by
Henry Ward Beecher.
Mr.. Cole thanked Dr. Berry publicly
for such a beautiful lecture.
After the lecture was over a short
meeting Of the EpWorth league was held

BUSINESS CHANGE
The Firm of Girty Fulton Dissolved,
Girty Retiring.

The firm Of Girty & Fulton, clothiers
and gents furnishers, has been dissolv-
ed, George /. Girty retiring. Since
this firm purchased the stock of c. N.
Jones, several months ago. they have
added to it frequent invoices of new
and popular goods in their line, and IL
is no exaggeratiOn TO say that Clarence
r. Fulton, (who succeeds the firm and
will continue the business) has one of
the largest stocks of high grade cloth
ing and gents furnishings in the state.
Both AIessrs, irty and Fulton are
thoroughly versed in the special lines
Mr.. Fulton in the clothing and Mr..
Girty in the furnishing oods-and
being wide-awake buyers and business
men, their popularity and success was
but a natural consequence.
The dissolution Of the firm was by
mutual agreement, other business en-
gagements in which he was largely in
terested making the withdrawal of Mr..
Girty necessary. Mr.. Fulton as sue
cessor and sole proprietor relaxes not
one whit of his characteristic energy
but will strive TO add 10 the host OF the
houses friends and patrons.
