What is an exposition in America is
an exhibition in the British Isles.
Cork is just now holding a most cred
liable exhibition. In size and char
acter it is much like the annual expo
sition which st. Louis made success
full for 50 many years. Cork is a city
of only seyenty-fve thousand people
and the exhibition would do credit to
a city Of several times that many. 1t
has a beautiful location on the River
Lee and the grounds are ta~stefully
laid out. BY a singular coincidence
the two most conspicuous exhibits at
the entrance to the grounds are from
the United States and by a coinci-
dence yet more singular these two
exhibits are an American bar and an
American temperance society. The
Knights Of Father Mathew have a
pleasant little building filled with
relics OF the eloquent Temperance
orator, while across the avenue is an
other building not unlike a temple,
flying the Stars and Stripes and mainly
devoted to Manhattan coctails, II
one may Judge from the signs displayed
in the various towns on this side the
Atlantic ocean the two chief indus
tries Of the United States are bars
and boots and shoes. The American
bar and the American shoe store are
everywhere IN evidence. II Is a well

WAY.
1t is a long days journey from Cork
to Belfast. Cork is largely Catholic
and Nationalist while Belfast Is over
whelmingly Protestant and C0nserva-
tive. Professionalism in Ireland is
not a religion" said a distinguished
Dublin judge; IL is a caste" This
was the expressive way he had Of stat
ing his opinion that many Protestants
in Ireland hold to that faith merely
as stepping stone to political prefer
ment at the hands OF His Majestyis
Government. Whether one Is willing
70 accept this view Of the case or not
certainly 1t is true that the Catholic
receive few II any favors at the
hands Of the Conservative cabinet at
London and that the majority Of Pro-
testants are not very enthusiastic adj
yocates Of home rule.
