OVER-TAXATION IN IRELAN1
A Large Protesting rleetjng Held at
Kildare.

DUBLIN, Jan. 1S.-A largely at
tended meeting was held at Kildare to-
day to protest against the over-taxa-
ton of Ireland. Many prominent men
of the country were present.
The Earl of Mayo, an Irish represen-
tative peer, was one of the speakers. He
declared that the over-taxation of Ire
land might go a great deal further than
was thought. 1t has created many rev.
olutions 1t was that which overthrew
the Stuart dynasty. The Earl limited
that it was possible that a notax agi-
alton might be started. In conclu-
sion, he insisted upon all Irishmen
firmly and unitedly demanding their
rights from Parliament.
The Earl of Mayo owns 4,915 acres of
land in County Kildare.

The Rainstorm at Los Angeles
Record-Breaker, Bringing Nearly

Selected as the Site for the Odd
Fellows Orphans Home.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-Mrs. w.
w. Dimond of Honolulu, whose depart
ure from the island capital on the stea
mer Coptic gave rise to an unpleasant
scandal, denies emphatically that she
eloped with Charles d. Wilson, the drug
clerk whose name was linked with her
own.
In an interview this afternoon Mrs.
Dimon said: "Other than the fact that
/ have left Honolulu, and the unfor-
tunate circumstances that Mr.. Wilson
came here on the same boat, there is
not a word of truth in the story sent here
from Hawaii. l did not elope with Mr..
Wilson or anybody else. Furthermore,
my husband knew of my purpoSed de-
parture as is shown by the fact that he
had divorce papers prepared to serve on
me just as the steamship was about to
sail.
"The story that I paid Mr.. Wilson's
debts is also as untrue as the charge
that l abandoned my child. Further
evidence that l do not intend deserting
Honolulu can be found in the fact that
j will return to the islands on the steam
ship Coptic tomorrow, as has been my
intention right along.
THE purpose of my visit here was, as
my husband well knows, to secure evil
dence of his perhdity, which L have OBJ
tained. He knew this, and took advan-
tage of it by suing me for a divorce. Mr..
Dimond and myself have not lived hap
PLY for a long time, a fact due to his
neglect and cruelty to me. Long ago l
learned of his unfaithfulneSS, and
charged him with numerous intrigues
which he could not deny. These facts
will be fully set forth and their truth
established when my attorneys, Thurs
ton and Stanley, present my side of the
case in court
Mr.. Wilson also denied in toto the
charge that he was in any way respon-
sible for Mrs. Dimond's behavior. He
declined to say why he found it neces-
sary to leave Honolulu, but admitted
that it was his intention to join a theat-
rlcal company.
Mrs. Dimond and Mr.. Wilson were this
morning ordered by the proprietor to
vacate their apartments at the Hotel
Langham.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-American
missionaries in India send distressing
reports to their home offices concerning
the plague and famine in that country.
Letters from the mission posts IN
Northern India, where the famine is
most severe, say that entire communi-
ties will be wiped away unless assist
ance from other countries reaches the
natives Immediately.
The Methodist Foreign Missionary
Society has received numerous appeals
for assistance, but it is hardly possible
to give any assistance to the sufferers
on account of the great distance from
this country.
AT the semi annual meeting of the
mission boards held in this city yester-
day a resolution to give assistance to
the sufferers was voted down by the
delegates.
The resolution was offered by Rev.
David Steel, pastor of the Fourth Re-
formed Presbyterian Church of Phila-
delphia- The conference did not ap-
prove of the resolution, and it was
voted to send a resolution of sympathy
instead
A letter received by DR.. Steel ten days
ago from DR.. Charles G. Scott, mission
ary in the province of Patiala, is SINH
lar to many which have reached this
city from other mission posts. THE
suffering among the natives is so great
that l cannot describe it on paper said
Dr. Scott Il went north last week to
the stations at Dangroor and Naba,
where We had several hundred convert
ed natives. When we approached the
towns, which had a population of about
10000 souls each, a dread silence
seemed to tell us that something was
wrong in the towns. When we entered
the towns the streets were deserted
save for a few half starved persons,
who sat moaning and weeping on
blocks in front of their huts. We
searched for hours for the Christian
colony, but nothing could be seen of it.
No one in the towns could tell us what
had become of them or when they had
left the place. From all we could
learn from the evidence left behind by
the Christians they had packed all their
portable goods and carried them away
to other parts of the country, where
there was less desttution.'
