AN IRISH FAMINE
Special Inquiries Fully Corrob-
crate Recent Alarming
Predictions.
Cries of Warming to the Govern
ment Rise in CrescendO From
All Parts.
Not Since the Black Year of 1847
Have Matters Been So
Deplorable.

New YORK, Sept. s.-A dispatch to
The World from London says: Inc
Worlds special inquiries throughout
ireland fully corroborate the alarming
predictions cabled Saturday OF the fail
ure of the harvest and the consequent
impending famine. Cries OF warning
to the government are rising in a ere
scendo scale from all parts OF Ireland.
They are not confined as in former
years of distress to the congested dls'
tricts on the western seaboard. FROM
Mullinger, one of the most prosperous
parts of the Midlands, a correspondent
telegraphs:
The crops are now irretrievably de-
etroyed. 1t will be impossible for n
farmers to make anything OF their
cereals this year, as they are quickly
rotting. In the churches prayers 1or
fine weather were recited, M II a
change does not come Immediately the
crops might as we'll be left to manure
the ground.
Worst Since Black 1847.
From County Wexford, noted as one
of the richest in the country, the tidings
are: The grain crop may be described
as a gigantic failure in County Wexford
this year. The greater part OF the
potato crop is only fit for feeding cattle.
From Fermanagh, in Ulster, a cor
respondent telegraphs: At a meeting
held here to ask for reduction in rents,
the parish priest presiding declared
that not since Black 1S47 has the pros
pect for farmers in this district been SO
bad. In several places the potatoes
have been a failure. Hundreds Of tons
of hay have been ruined by the heavy
rains aud floods.
From Carlow, known as ''the model
county," comes this dispatch:
There is before u farmers an out
look as disastrous as it is possible to
conceive, owing to the frightful wealth
er. A great deal Of the corn cut early
remains in the stalks, injured beyond
recovery. In many districts the farm
ers have been unable to cut their crops
which present the saddening spectacle
Of being leveled to the earth by the per
sistent rains, while a mass Of secont
growth and weeds has come up. Tn
apprehensions concerning potatoes ais
have been dismally realized.
At a meeting Of the board Of guard
fans at Mitchellstown, county Cork, thu
chairman said: The potato crop is gen
orally a failure, while the other crop
have been hopelessly injured by tn
unparalleled ~inclemency OF the season
We are on the verge of a great agricul
tural crisis. The outlook in farmin:
affairs is gloomy in the extreme, and t.
%aggravate the condition of affair
caused by the failure of the potato crop
the prices of provisions are considerabl,
increased, and before long the peopl
who are supposed to contribute to tn
poor rates would be in work house
themselves.
These evidences of the widespea'
character of the ruin wrought by tn
Indictment season are merely sample
from numerous reports received.
The Irish government has adopted n
measure yet to cope with the threat
oned famine.

Simplicity Brings Life's Best Pleas

"For poor and rich alike the
highest pleasure and utility III life
will come from simplifying it.
writes "Droch" of "Vacation Me
anderings'' in the August Ladies'
Home Journal "The content
ment that can only be had from
nerves that are not overstrained
Is to be found by reducing your
daily life to Its simplest terms
This applies with equal force to
the hard working man or woman
with small income or to the rich
who are numbered with many
cares. Poverty has =ebeen made
just as complex as riches by the
many things that ilI-advised
teachers have taught poverty to
expect that it ought to accomplish.
What both must learn, for the
best results IN their own lives, is
not how little can be had for a
great deal of money, but how
much OF real and permanent value
can be secured for a little money.
This is the highest economy and
it cannot be taught--it must be
learned by experience, and you
cannot begin it at better time
than when seeking u vacation"

You can't grub stake a man in
the Klondyke. The laws of the
Dominion of Canada are ouch that
they nullify any and all contracts
entered into between the man
who puts up the grub stake and
the man who accepts 1t. The laws
seemed to be aimed especially at
Americans, and the grub-staker, if
caught is liable to a fine of Fl 900
while the grub stakee goes free.
Also the Captain Of any vessel
who knowingly brings grub-stak-
ees, into her majesty's dominion
is liable to a fine of $500 Tor each
oifense and imprisonment for six
months. Her gracious magesty's
governor general will see that the
laws are enforced to the letter in
the klonkyke, and Americans
had better beware of how they
behave in the blawsted country,
you know.-Pueblo Indicator.

Colorado at The Exposition.

AS work IN connection with the
Trans Mississippi exposition pro
crosses, which important affair
will be held in Omaha during the
season of 1898, wide interest Is
manifested in all the leading cit
les and towns of Colorodo to com
bine III a movement to give this
state befittinS and extensive dis
play of Its mining, agricultural,
and commercial industries. Hon.
Henry z. Steele Of Denver, vice
president from Colorado, for the
Trans Mississippi exposition. has
already issued an address urging
the people of the state to Co -oper-
ate in the movement. The legis-
lature made no appropriation for
an official exhibit, but Coy. Ad-
ans appointed commission to
take charge of the matter. The
architect of the mines and mining
building is John j. Humphreys of
Denver. The building will occu-
by a space 400 feet long by $50
feet wide, and sixty feet in height
from the ground to the cornices,
with an immense central dome
rising $50 feet above the level.
The building will cost 100000.
Colorado is one of the chief min
ing states III the union and the
chamber of commerce, the mining
bureau and other organizations
are taking hold with commendable
energy in order TO make the mln-
ing exhibit superior to that of any
other state represented. The eX-
hibit will consist of complete
representation OF the products and
industrial resources of the state in
which each county will do its tull
share in view of large and benefi-
cial returns accruing to the state
IN the near future. AS one of the
novel features of the exhibit Will
be a reproduction of Cripple Greek
as 1t was before the fire. Hon.
George NJ. Miscke, representing
the exposition in Colorado, has
opened an office in the rooms oc-
cupied by the bureau of mines, in
Denver, and is actively engaged
III working up the industries ofthe
state tor the exposition exhibit.
