THE UNITED IRISH LEAGUE.
A Dublin Correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette Says IL Means a
Revolution.

London. Feb. s.-A dispatch to the
Pail Mall Gazette, from Dublin, de-
ciares that the "firmly-rooted belief
in influential circles is that nothing
short of a revolution is meant by
the United Irish league, and that the
advocates of constitutional methods
are slowly but surely giving way to
the strong physical force section"
The correspondent adds: "Irishmen
who have just returned from the
United States aver that no support
will be given TO the disloyal cause,
unless the discussions and scenes in
parliament give place to something
more active in Ireland itself. The
American end of the campaign is be-
ing run by men who are all of the
same stamp as Finerty, who recon-
mends dynamite and rifles"

A QUESTION OF WASHING.
Faculty of the University of the
south Terrorixed Because N Laun-
dry Was Established.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. s.-The 600
students and the faculty of the Uni
versity of the South are terrorized by
threats of mountaineers to wreck the
institution. Vice-Chancellor ID. l.,
Virgins and Stewart r. L. Colmore,
to whom special warnings were sent,
have fed. The trouble is due to the
establishing of laundry at the uni
versity, and the consequent loss by
the mountaineers of the work of
washing for the students, which was
their main support. The first laun-
dry built was burned, and the deci-
sion to rebuild it was followed by a
series of threatening letters.

The Woman Who Aided the Riddles
to Escape Suffers More Mental

battle, which resulted in their cap
ture and death, shows considerable
improvement in her condition. She il
suffering more from mental distress
than from the wound, and it may be
a week or more before she can be re-
moved from the Butler hospital to the
Pittsburg Jail. Her husband, ex.
Warden Soffel, has retained counsel
for her defense, but says he does
not want to see her, or have any com
munication with her in the future
Mrs. Soffel is receiving letters from
all over the country. Most of than
contain tracts and advice of a relig.
ious nature. When she opens a let
ter, and discovers that it is one OF
this character, she turns it over to
some of the nurses without reading.
Many letters are also from attorneys,
proffering their services free in her
defense.

Used a Tin Can for a Bank.

Odell, Neb., Feb. s.-The sum of ST.
700 has been stolen from Mrs. Scra-
BILE, a Bohemian widow, who lives
north of this town. Several days ago
she received the money in payment
for farm that she had sold. Being
distrustful of banks, she put the
money in a tin can, which she placed
beneath the floor of her chicken
house. When Mrs. SCRABBLE went to
get her money it was gone. Search
is being made for the treasure, but
no clue has been found.
