The funeral of Mrs Mary E., Moore,
the late principal of the Knightsville
school, was largely attended this after
noon. Her life. one Of the most useful,
her disposition one of sunshine, made
hosts of friends for her. For three
years she taught in the Elmwood school
and for eighteen years she labored
faithfully In Cranston schools. Eleven
years of the eighteen were spent as
principal Of the Knightsville school.
Mrs. Moore lost her husband, John
q. Moore. by death, seven years ago
and since that time she has not only
supported herself. but also her aged
mother and has in addition supported
and educated her nephew, Willie p.
Arnold. The heart of the good woman
was made glad last June amid her
sufferings when her nephew, the one
over whom she has watched. graduated
from the Providence high school. Mrs.
Moore's death was caused by cancer.
She became Ill last February. Her
school duties were trying. She labored
under great difficulties and worried
much over her school work
Mrs. Moore was believed to be one OF
the best teachers in Rhode Island. Her
school long stood the ehighest In scholar
ship in the town and even to rank next
to the Knightsville school I'm scholar
ship was considered good.

Philadelphia Mr.. Kennedy played a strong

when the political generals and the

from the command
Gen. Sherman, after the war was
over, continued to recognize the posi-
ton of Atlanta as unique from n
military point Of view in case of a
foreign war The facilities of Atlanta
as a distributing point for troops and
supplies have largely increased SINGS
1880, when Gen. Sherman recognized its
Importance. The city is now in direct

on the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
This is how 1t happens that, at tbs
very first suspicion or symptom of for

CANAL ACROSS IRELAND.
Advantages To Be Gained by Cutting tho
Island In Two.

Advantages To Bc Gained by Cutting tho
Island In Two.
There Is warm approval of the scheme
suggested by II. n. Baines of Dublin
for the economic regeneration of Ire
land, printed In the London Spectator,
Mr.. Baines believes that Ireland has
all the needful elements to make her a
great commercial nation provided the
opportunity Is furnished. The interior
uf the country Is now only indifferently
supplied with railroads, and 1t Is con-
sequently troublesome to make ship
ments of the goods for which Ireland Is
famed in British markets, such as farm
products, live stock, etc. Mr.. Balnes
proposes to make the ancient city OF
Galway a transatlantic port and to con-
meet II with Kingstown, near Dublin,
by canal which would also connect
with the present Grand canal that runs
nearly half way across the country.
BY this means the product of fisheries
OF the west and southwest could be
conveyed cheaply to Kingstown, where
fast steamers might rush across the
channel and deliver at Hoyhead to ex-
press trains that would land the goods
in London in y few hours. This might
he vastly improved upon II the pro-
posed tunnel Is constructed under the
Irish sea. Mr. Baines thinks his scheme
for the canal would not cost more than
Sir 600 600
