A Singular Statement.

The movement for the study of the Irish language in Ireland has met an obstacle in the opposition of a number of prominent Irish educators, among whom are Dr. Mahaffy and Dr. Atkin- son, both of Dublin university. Dr. At kinson is regarded as the greatest liv- ing authority on the Irish language and literature and might have been expect cd to favor the proposed renascence, but he takes the surprising ground that the mass of extant Irish literature, includ- ing the modern folklore, is too indecent for popular teaching.

Let Us Have Light.
TO the Editor of the Inter-O Ocean:

To the Editor of the Inter-Ocean:
"In Darkness [ Wander" will
about describe the way which citi-
zens of Devils Lake get around the
streets these evenings, and for a
long time past. Devils Lake in
this respect, seems to be far be-
hind the times. She is surround
ed on all sides by towns much
smaller, which have their streets,
business houses and homes lighted
by electricity. Money is now very
cheap, and can be had at a low
rate of interest, and why would it
not be good plan to call a meet
ing Of the Business Mems Union
and have some action taken to-
ward securing and electric light
plant for this city, something which
Devils Lake has not got? Or, why
would it not be a good plan for
this city to issue bonds and put in
a system? Private consumers
enough could be had to pay the
running expenses as well as inter
est on the bonds, and to create a
sinking fund, thus giving the city
it's lights for nothing. This ought
to be done at once before any mis-
haps occur by reason of the dense
darkness which prevails on our
streets at night. TAXPAYER.

tanned in the dispatches to the war
Office. The cables continue silent,
presumably because of Gen. Buffers
desire to prevent leakage of impor-
tant movements now being carried
on. 1t seems certain, however,
that Lord Metheun continues to
move forward rapidly, and finding
the railway much damaged he has
left it. When telegraph commune
cation is finally resumed it may be
possible to hear Of four different
engagements.
Right Hon. Daniel Talon, Lord
Mayor of Dublin, arrived in Wash

Gen. Methuen, of the British
forces, on November 20, is said to
have won the bloodiest battle Of
the century at Modder Lake,
against the Beers. The British
were exhausted and unable to fol-
low up their victory and crush the
enemy. Anxiety and suspense is
increased in London by another
rumor that Ladysmith has fallen.
The transport Manuez, which
arrived at Manila Tuesday, with
Lieut.-Col. Hayes and three COM
panies of the Thirty-first volun-
teers, had a narrow escape from
disaster. For twelve days officers
and men had to bail with buckets,
the vessel being in poor condition,
and then having rolled three days
in a typhoon. The colonel's re-
port says that the captain of the
vessel told him that the only thing
that brought them through was
the fact that the men were green
horns and failed to realize their
danger, while experienced seamen
would have deserted their ships
and taken to the boats in mid
ocean.
A deliberate murder was COM
!: mitted in East Grand Forks Mon
day afternoon which will probably
, result in "Bish'' Dorsey paying
the penalty with his life. During
a heated quarrel in Dan Sullivan's S
saloon man named John McCabe
cai.t;aa. Dorsey "nigger," Dorsey
procured a cordwood stick, and
while McCabe was standing at the
saloon counter struck him on the
back of the head, killing him in
, stantly. The coroner's jury met
Tuesday morning and in the after
noon returned a verdict Of murder
against Dorsey. The prisoner was
taken to the Crookston, Mimi, jail
and will have his preliminary hear
ing before Municipal Judge Sul1i-
van at East Grand Forks tomor-
row. Deceased was we'll known in
Grand Harbor, having been en-
ployed as cook at the Hotel Maine
for some time.

What is the use of making a

if you cannot get better price
for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, so that while our
profits may be smaller on single
sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought
prominently before the public
both are certain to be tried and
