ed with Mackin Council at the last meet

He is the only member of Mackin Coun-

While in Limerick few evenings ago
the writer was asked about that sixth an
nual outing of MaclSin Council and he
takes this method of informing the many
friends of the council in Limerick that
they can make preparations to go on June

A large crowd attended the meeting of
Mackin Council held last Tuesday even

large crowd of the sons of old Erin pres

question, he thought the Government
should have warming that if their efforts
at University education were to produce
glorifed ecclesiastical seminary under
the bishops and priests, they would have
none. If there was to be a Catholic Uni
versily il should he university governed
by the laity. Any other university would
be mockery, delusion, and snare.
He entirely agreed with Mr.. Balfour's
recent speech OH the subject, where he
said it was the demand of the Irish peo-
pie, and not the cry raised by the Eng
lish people. that should be attended to.
He thought Mr. Balfour would soon come
to the conclusion that home rule should
be granted because Ireland demanded it.
Referring to the recent elections he said
that on the whole they had every reason
to look upon the result with satisfaction.
The great lesson to be derived from them
was the necessity for organization. He
strongly urged upon them the necessity
of having branch of the Independent
League in every ward of the city. Par
nellism was, he declared, the true religion
in politibs, and anything else was corrupt
heresy.
He advocated the extension of the city
boundaries, and asked everybody who
had leisure to attend the meeting in the
Mansion House. The first year of his
coronership 400 cases were reported to
him, and last year the number had
swelled to 500. Sudden deaths occurred
principally among the laboring classes.
The reason of this was that the working
men crowded into the houses that were
vacated by city business men, who went
to live in the townships, and sometimes
from seven to ten families resided in
these houses, that were originally built
for one. Without the city the townships
would die i'll a week. He agreed that
every attention should be paid to the
prejudices and wants of the townships.
If the intelligent men of the townships
came together he did not see why they
should not be able to come to some ami
cable settlement with the city representa-
tives. He hoped that before twelve
months they would see Dublin embracing
an area that would contribute towards
the greatest efficiency and the greatest
good of the community.

as negroes. They are doubtless of Afri-
can descent, and are said to resemble the
natives of New Guinea. Their hair is
matted and curly They dress scantily,
are punv, stupid and ugly, and subsist
upon game killed with spears and ar

In the northwestern part of Luzon is a
fierce. unsubdued tribe known as the
GaddaDes. They scalp their enemies
slain in battle.
A fine race are the Igorrotes, spread
over the northern half Of Luzon. They
are people of powerful physique, and
obstinately refuse to be civilized. The
Chinese pirate, Lima hong, left many of
his countrymen in the Province of Pan
eastman when he quilted the country,
and these have mixed with the Igorrotes.
They are known as the Igorrote-Chinese,
and some of them are domesticated.
In the district of FL Abra, in Luzon, are
the Tinguiners, who are emi.civilized,
though still pagans.

TO RELIEVE CHOKING.

Raising the left arm as high as you can
will relieve choking much more rapidly
than being thumped on the back. Often
person gets choked while eating when
there is no one near to thump him. Very
frequently at meals and when they are at
play children get clicked while eating,
and the customary manner of relieving
them is to slap them sharply on the back.
The effect of this is to set the obstruction
free, so that it can be swallowed. The
same thing can be brought about by rails
ing. the left hand of the child as high as
possible. Relief comes much more
rapidly.

GOATS LYMPH CURES INSANITY.
Remarkable Case Reported From
kankakee, Ill., Asylum.

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Chicago, ILL.,, says After having been pro-
bounced "hopelessly insane by expert
alenists, and marked on the records of
kankakee Asylum, Irwin Fuller Bush, a
young man prominent in the social and
business life of Joliet, is now at his home,
with his mental faculties fully restored,
keen and active. both in mind and body,
and ready to resume the management of
his extensive business affairs.
Mr.. Bush was cured by injections of
goats lymph, remedy first suggested by
DIR. B. +. Roberts, a country physician in
Missouri, who is now on his way to Europe,
where he has been invited to tell the medi-
cal SavantS of the old country about the
new form of trea tment.
Mr.. Bush is about thirty years old. He
was a robust and healthy man up to two
years ago, when he was seized with pecu-
liar attacks that produced a choking sem
sation and were accompanied by tempo
rary fits of alteration.
The doctors diagnosed Mr.. Bushs maady
as paranoia. a form of insanity from which
there is little hope of relief. From early in
January until March l Mr.. Bush was kept
at home under the care of special attend
ant, but on March I he was committed to
Kankakee Asylum.
At the asylum the case attracted special
attention because of its unusual nature.
Bush's mind seemed to be a perfect blank.
| He had none of the cunning or triclery of
| the ordinary insane patient; he was unable
to think, or plan, or execute.
DR.. Joseph r. Hawley of this city, who
! had been experimenting with goats lymph.
| as obtained by the Roberts process, sug-
gested to DR.. Lowenthal of the asylum that
| the treatment be tried on Bush.
Mrs. Bush consenting. Bush was brought
| to Chicago on June 10: He was placed
under treatment in a school of instruction
| for physicians using the lymph
At first he was given four injections of
| lymph every day, the fluid being injected
hypodermically in the arms ana hips Grad

Cavite September Is. and. as already
bled, proceeded to Subig bay to destroy an
insurgent cannon there.
Owing to the bad weather the operation
was postponed until yesterday, when the
warships for three hours bombarded the
town of Olangapo, and the intrenchments
where the gun was situated. Men from
the Charleston, Concord and Zafro were
then landed under heavy insurgent fire,
proceeding to the cannon. which was ut
terly destroyed by gun cotton, and then
returning to the warships. The Americans
had one man wounded during the engage
ment.
While waiting in Subig bay for better
weather the Americans deserted Filipino
re.nforcements moving toward Olangapo.
At $40 an. yesterday the Monterey be-
gan the advance upon the town, which was
about three miles east of the monitors

opened fire with her secondary and main
batteries, the Charleston and Concord join

close to the Monterey's smokestack The
gun was fired twice only.
The American bombarding then became
general. At $50 the Monterey advanced to

was found to be a 1G-centimeter krupp
gun, presumably obtained from the Span

to shell the shelving beach on the east and
west side to silence the insurgent fire upon
the sailors from the trenches skirting the
beach.
Gunner Olsen exploded fifty rounds of
gun cotton in three discharges in the cam

Admiral Watson's Report.

Acting Secretary Allen of the Navy De-
partment yesterday received a cable from
Rear Admiral Watson. giving a brief ac-
count of the engagement at Subig bay 1t

poorly aimed. Enemy's loss unknown. Full

The important feature of the engagement
is the fact which is disclosed that the in
surgents have been able to obtain krupp
guns. 1t was known at the time of the out
break that the insurgents artillery con-
sisted of few obsolete guns captured from
the Spaniards. Now they have been able
not only to obtain. but to mount a krupp
gun at an important point not far from
Manila. Acting Secretary Allen says that
it is evident the navy at Manila does not
intend to allow any fort to be erected by
the insurgents which can be reached by the
ships. and he is convinced that the squad
ron under Rear Admiray Watson will be
able to keep the shores guarded and repeat
the lesson of Saturday II the insurgents
are found to be operating on the coast.
