turned Tuesday night from very
pleasant trip through Europe. They
sailed for home August e, from Liver
pool, on the White Star liner, Oceana,
leaving the port at five O'Clock p. m.
When few miles out the vessel came
in collision with large freight boat
carrying crew OF eighteen men.
Eleven of the number were re, ecued by
the Oceana, but seven others went down
with the ship. The accident delayed
the liner, and they arrived In New York
"a hours late, being seven days out. The
trip was most delightful one and much
enjoyed by the doctor and family.
While across the waters they visited
all the principal cities in Ireland, Scot
land, England and France, and enjoyed
q delightful time, but the most pleasant
moment of the whole trip was when the
trainman called out Alma" Mr.. Lam
cashire says that while he was In
Europe, many people called upon him
for information regarding the United
States, and many asked for a position at
farming and other lines of trade. They
all are well posted as to the states, and
are only waiting for means to take them
and their family to America.
The farming comm unities are about
the same as here, only as regards the
buildings, they oeing far ahead in the
states. The doctor was very much im-
pressed with the manner in which the
tenantry is maintained in Ireland, The
little homes are whitewashed once
year and always looks clean and neat.
While the trip was a most delightful
one, we are sure that they are delighted
TO be at home again; the dearest and
best place on earth. w. T. KnoYlton,
