Catholic Bishop. the Right Rev. An
thony Gaughran, d. D., OF Kimberley,
South Africa. on the side of England
against the Beers, says the Boston Pr
lot. DR. Gaughran, in a letter to "a rela-
tive in Boston-eXtracts from which
are given in the Boston Herald-de-

William Moore Stack. Of Tralee, one 4
Of the best known Nationalist in Ire
land. died on the 5th inst, aged about I
G5 years. Mr.. Stack in his early days 4
was prominently identified with the (
Fenian movement and in 66, with /
other Fenian leaders, he was sentenced (
10 penal seryitude, and sent TO Working /
prison in England. whence he was dis
charged, like SO many of his cOmpatri-
OTIS, completely shattered in health, in I
So. But the fortunes of prison life did
not eXtinguish in Mr.. Stack his love of
country and he threw himself into the
land agitation as viciously as he did
into the physical force movement and
in 81 was a victim of the Foster re-
gime, having been imprisoned as sus-
pect. The sufferings endured in the
English prison told on Mr.. Stacks for
merly robust frame, and the effects OF
that barbarous treatment We're present
TO the very last.
