Fathers In front of the Redemp-
ZIONIST church tower We're very pretty
designs in gas. At O'Connelrs monu-
ment were the papal keys. Among
private residences, Alderman O'Maras
residence i'll Hartstonge street had
stars. etc. III gas. Great bonfires
blazed in various parts of the city,
and, in a word, nothing was wanting
to complete the unnistakable evidence
of love and reverence for the Redemp-
florists among Limerck's citizens.
LOUTH.
The rejection of Lord Droyheda's
offer of purchase by his tenants is not
surprising in face of the terms de-
manded. His estate is not comparable
with the Leinster estate; yet he wants
a considerable higher price. He de-
mands twenty-three years purchase
of rents fixed before 1896, twenty-five
and a half years purchase of rents
fixed since 1896, and twenty-three or
y
of nonjudicial rents according as they
are above or below the valuation.
Twenty-three years purchase of Il first
term rent in County Kildare, where
the judicial reductions on those rents
is 10 per cent, is equivalent to twenty
seven years. purchase at the fair rent;
and twenty-five and a half years pur-
chase of a .nonjudicial rent is equiva-
lent to thirty-six and half years
purchase of second term rents, the to-
tai judicial reductions on the old rents
in the County Kildare having amount
ed to 30 per cent. This is what Lord
Drogheda calls fair price.
