was created hereditary peer under
the title of Baron Killanin in the peer
age Of the United Kingdom, with re-
mainder to his eldest son, Hon. Martin
Morris, M. T. for the city of Galway.
The succession of Mr.. Morris to the

where he won the seat as a Conserva-

being: Morris, $50; Leamy (Nationalist),

resulted as follows: Pinkerton (anti-
Parnellite), 500; Leamy (Nationalist),
4O5; Morris Conservative, 495.
The Unionists are likely to put for
ward the deceased peers youngest son,
while the Nationalist, in view of the
vacancy, have already been looking

is every prospect of a very determined

Story Of 81. polycarls

The late DR.. Agnew, the most .s
nent of Philadelphia surgeons, in his
leisure moments translated from the
German a number of Parallels for the
edification of his children. This is one
of the little stories.
When the persecution of the Chris
tians prevailed in Smyrna, Polycarp,
4, the bishop Of that city, left it and went
with his faithful friend Crescens to
the country in the vicinity of Smyrna.
In the cool of the evening he went out
under the shade Of noble oak tree
which stood in front of the farmhouse.
Here he found Crescens sitting in a
detected attitude, supporting his head
upon his hands and weeping
| The old man stepped up to him and
said: MY son, why art thou weep
ing?"
Crescens raised his head and replied:
"How should l but mourn and weep?
ann thinking Of the kingdom Of God
on earth. Storm and tempest are thick
it's youth. Many Christians have al
ready fallen off and have denied and
ldisgraced their faith and thus prove
that unworthy persons profess with the
mouth, although their heart is far from
the truth. This fills my soul with
mourning and mine eyes with tears"
Polycarp, smiling, answered and said:
"My dear son. the kingdom of heaven
lbs like tree which countryman
planted. Secretly and quietly he de-
!. posted the germ in the earth and went
his way. 1t sprouted and shot up
amongst the weeds and ibriars and lift
ed Its head above them, so that the
briars died of themselves, for the shade,
of the tree above caused them to with
err away. But the tree grew. and when
the winds raved around it and caused
1t to quake, so much the deeper did
Is roots strike into the ground and fast
en- themselves about the rocks OF the
. reached up towards heaven. So the
storm made 1T more firm. When 1t had
become Il lofty tree and its shadow
was spread far and wide, the weeds
and briars grew UP again beneath 1t;
but II regarded them not, and stood
!, there in still and quiet state-a tree OF
God!"
Thus speaking, the faithful bishop
reached his hand to the disciple and
said with a smile: "Why art thou trou-
bled? Look not at the weeds which
creep at the roots, but contemplate the
grandeur of the spreading branches and
the strength Of the tree and forget the
insignificant weeds"
Crcsccns then rose with a serene
spirit, for the old man walked beside
him. bowed with years, but his spirit
and his countcnance were those Of
youth.

The Late Lord Morris,

The Dublin Frecman'S Journal, III
announcing the death of Lord Morris
says:
The death of Lord Morris removes a
remarkable parsonage from Irish life
His career in politics and Mt the bar
had been marked by brillance and sue
cess, and was in Il sense unique. lie
was the most prominent and the most
successful of the small band of poll,
ticians who, in the fifties and sixties,
appeared as the forcrunners Of Cath
Ole Tory party. His humor, always
spiced with an Irish flavor, was char.
acteristic. Though determined Union
list and strenuous party man, when.
ever his allegiance to his friends left
him free he worked for the general
Irish and Catholic interest. On the
education question and others he rem
dered considerable service.
He was n Galwegian Of the Gal
wegians. He boasted Of belonging to
the "tribes" on both sides Of his pedi-
gree, for his mother was Blake. Hc
was born on Nov. IA, 1927, and was
educated ut the Erasus Smith school,
Galway, and Trinity College, Dublin.
His career in the latter was distin-
guished. He emerged senior mode
rator and gold medalist in 1S47. Two
years later he was called to the bar,
and in the same year filled the office Of
high sheriff in his native city. While
yet wearing the gown of the outer bar,
he was appointed recorder Of Galway,
which he filled from 1867 to 1866. In
the latter year he retired from the re-
cordership to contest the parliamentary
representation. He stood upon what
he described as independent princi-
PIES" and polled 80 per cent OF the cleo
torate. But in the following year he
accepted the Office of solicitor-general
under the Derby administration, becom-
ing encouragement in November. In
1867 he was raised to the bench as one
of the judges of the common pleas di-
vision. Nine years later he became
chief justice of Ireland in 1887. Two
years later he became lord of appeal in
ordinary and life peer. His judicial
career was not marked by any great
display Of learning, but his sound COM
mon sense and knowledge Of the world
more than compensated for any lack
of lore where issues Of fact had to be
determined.
Outside his professional career he did
some useful public work. He was a
member of the famous Paris commits
sion, which Investigated the primary
education system in 1868-7O, and was
appointed commissioner of national
education in the former year. He was
also one of the original senators of the
Royal University, Of which institution
he was also vice-chancellor.
Lord Morris and Killanin was made
a baronet in 1885, and life peer, with
the title of Baron Morris, in 1889

Polygamy In South Africa.

The Protestant missionaries in
South Africa recently held a conven-
ton in Natal. Among the questions
that claimed their attention was that
of polygamy among the natives. They
discussed the practicability Of making
a crusade against this custom. Many
of them declared that the practice was
condemned not only by moral but also
by business consideration. The Bishop
of Mashonaland asserted that the coun
try might find in polygamy the real
reason for the very inconvenient dearth
of labor in the mines.
The native father looks upon his
daughter merely as so much merclan-
disc. He will cheerfully part with
her if he can get what he considers
to be her value in cattle. The girl is
sold to her future husband for from
five to fifty head of cattle, according
to her beauty as that quality is est
mated among the natives. An eX
ceedingly fat girl is very beautiful in
deed, and brings the highest price in
the matrimonial market.
The father of a family who raises
a large number of daughters is certain
to become rich. The more wives he
has the more daughters are in prospect
thus it is highly desirable to have
s&n
man who agrees to sell his labor fol
a stipulated time in the gold or dia
mond mines has only one thought, anG
that is to get some money with which
he may purchase cattle and exchange
them for wife.
When The has secured this desirabl,
object he will do no more work fol
the white man till he wants more
wives. In the course of time he will
have daughters to sell and then he will
do no more work ut ALL His wives
will do all the field work. his daughter
will bring in more cattle and her herd
will grow also by natural increase
Between wives, daughter and cattle h
will be able to lead life of gentle
manly leisure.
. The Bishop of Mashonaland pro
posed plan which, If carried into eff
feet, would, in his opinion, put an cnt
to polygamy. He would have the Gov
eminent view all wives, except the first
; us articles of luxury and tax them il
Il progressive scale. Wife No. 1 SHOULD
be exempt from taxation, but the hus
band should pay tax of 800 yea
for the luxury Of having wife No.
in his family, $50 Il year for wife No
B, 500 year for wife No i, and S,
on. 1t is evident that at this rate i
would make very long purse or I;
very well-stoclled cattle yard to keel
the native home adorned with goodl,
number of wives.
The convention did not commit itsel
to this or any other plan for doing
away with polygamy, and it remain.
to be seen what the white Legislators O.
South Africa will think of the move
scheme suggested iby the Bishop O
Mashonaland.

Jlngoism sways England.

William Lloyd Garrison has just re-
turned from London, says the Spring
field Republican, and he brings many
Interesting stories and views of Eng.
fish matters and opinions which do not
get over here in the regular or special
press dispatches. In fact, he says the
affairs of the United States cut very
small figure over there, either in Eng
land or on the continent, in spite Of
the representations which are sent here
from the metropolis. People and events
from the United States occupy a very
small part of the conversation or news,
papers. Aside from the brief summary
of the financial news and some occa-
sional social matters the news from
the United States fails utterly to give
any adequate idea of the issues and
true condition here. The same is true
in Paris.
Regarding the Boer war. Mr. Garri-
son found that the large majority of
the British people are fully in favor
of it and want it carried through to
the complete subjugation of the Beers
But there is a small body of English
thinkers who are strongly opposed to
it and who believe that the Beers will
win. William II. Stead though he has
given up publishing his WAR Against
War;" vet in the Review of Reviews
keeps up his strenuous opposition to
the war and really carries considerable
weight. Except one paper in London
and one in Manchester, all of the Brit
ish press is on the imperial side A

| ID lhSiS dhuSu us IL Is llcIc WHICH We
think of the loss of influence of such

But it is likely that the truth about
the BOcr war is not told to the world
through the British war Office. Private

worse than is represented in the Off
cial statements.
Information which seems more rclia-
bic than that given to the public and
is from those who have seen personally
the conditions on which they base their
opinions is TO the effect that England
can never conquer the Beers. 1t is
also true that the suffering in the con-
ccntratiOn camps is as serious as has
been represented. Mr.. Garrison does
not believe that the British people will
change their opinion about the war I'M
I'll they suffer a financial calamity, and
there are already signs that one Is on
its way. Conditions Of business are
harder there than they are here and
seem to be growing harder. The price
of coal Is high and the outlook for the
manufacturers is not good. The i'm
mense money cost of the war, to say
nothing of the loss of men, will finally,
he believes bring the British people to
change their attitude toward the Beers,
for the latter have no idea of ever sur
