Letter of Appeal.

Savannah, Ga. June 10. 1908.
Dear Sir: To all our fellow citizens
who so cordially received and greet
ed the establishment of the United
Irish League here with the view of
encouraging the people of Ireland and
affording them a most helpful incentive
in their lawful insisting on the further
ance of the well-known Land Bill,
We, the Local Savannah Branch of
the United Irish League, make this
appeal and we do hope that a work
so commendable and heartily encour-
aged amongst us win continue to grow
apace.
Already, and we say 1t most CRATE
fully to all who have in any way, so
far, offered contributions, handsome
sum of money has been raised here in
Savannah, and forwarded to it's desti
nation for the promotion of the object
of the Irish Land Bill.
We trust that the different organi-
cations of the city will deem it a laud-
able effort in the cause of common
! humanity to help, in every manner in
crease the membership of this Local
Branch of the United Irish League es-
tablished in our fair city by the untir
ing efforts of the Hon. Joseph Devlin,
welcomed by the Local Committee, and
| so generously greeted by all who had
| the pleasure of hearing the clear and
| eloquent explanation of the ends and
object of this humane association.
known under the name of the United
Irish League.
The obligations of membership in
the League are easy to bear: A mon
eyed contribution of one dollar per an
mum, payable in advance, and a con-
tinuation of the kindly offices which
are the usual appanage of such an or
ganization, are all we ask for.
We ask you, therefore, dear sir, to
encourage this noble effort of a long
suffering people towards the possession
of their own land-holdings; we ask you
by this small, but necessary bestowal
of tangible sympathy to rend the chain
of landlordism, as it has existed so long
in Ireland, and give to the tiller OF
the soil in Ireland the long sought-for
possession of their own lands.
Ladies, as well as gentlemen, are
invited to join US.
Enclosed please find membership card
on which you may write your name and
return to our Secretary.

Harry Conor, who plays the role of
the man modiste in THE Blonde in
Black" has invented a new corset. His
duties during the first act of the new
Blanche Ring musical farce require
him to measure the figures of half a
dozen stately show girls and adjust the
wrinkles in new gowns which they try
on in full view of the audience In one
scene the girls appear with their COR
sets in full bloom. Conor had never de-
voted himself particularly to the archi
lecture of the feminine corset, but now
being compelled each evening to OBJ
serve six of them at close range, he
has naturally come to know one when
he sees it. He has been practicing rig
idly of late to reduce a growing ten
dency to cOmpulency, and the result is
his invention of an appliance that will
preserve the masculine form divine IN
its proper proportions.
Conor appeared at the Knickerbocker
Theater on Monday night with a figure
as svelte and graceful as the most fas-
tidiouS show girl could desire. The
corpulent Harry had disappeared, and
IN his place was a somewhat stout and
rotund gentleman who looked so I'M
like himself that he was stopped at the
stage door. To "a privileged few Conor
has shown his corset, and great admi-
ration of it is expressed. It is self-ad-
justing. Max Freeman has given an
order for one. In the opinion of experts
he needs it more than Conor. Oscar
Hammerstein and Charles Frohman
are expected to adopt it, This only
goes to show that the exhibition of cor
sets in the first act of The Blonde in
Black" may exert far more influence
than Harry B. Smith ever imagined
when he evolved the idea of introduce
ing the show girls in negligee costume.

]. A. Hollinger, city ticket and pas
senger agent of the Iron Mountain
Route, had a costly curiosity in the
shape of a rats nest on exhibition at
the Union Station office yesterday. The
nest was made of railroad tickets and
mileage books of face value of near
ly $500.
About a month ago the bay win
dow was taken out of the ticket office
and in putting in the new window a
number of shelves were put under the
shelf in front of the window, they be-
ing closed by doors. On these shelves
Mr.. Hollinger had stored the various
coupon tickets and mileage books.
Neither the tickets nor the mileage
books are of any value unless coun-
tersigned by Mr.. HOllinger, or one of
his assistants, and stamped with the
office dating stamp. However, when
they are furnished by the general pas
senger department they are quoted at
face value and the agent is RESPONSE
BILE for every ticket. When a sup
ply runs out he must account for
every ticket, either by sale or it's be-
ing void.
UnderrAath this window shelf were
stored several thousand dollars worth
of blank tickets, among them being
package of 'one-way' St. Louis tick
cts. This ticket is about ten inches
long and three inches wide. There
were also a number of 1.000-mile mile
age books. Yesterday Day Ticket
Agent Wright sold the last of the ST.
Louis tickets he had in his case, and
went in the shelves to get more.
When he pulled out the bunch of 100
he was Mortified to see that all the
lower half was gone from about half

tigation and found that five mileage
books had also been partially de-
stroyed.
When he checked up he found that
there had been destroyed fifty-one ST.
Louis tickets of a value of $10.46 each,
total of $53346, and five 1000 mileage
books, of value of $50 each, or $780, a
total of $783.46
Mr.. Hollinger says this is about the
costliest rats nest he has ever SEEN
OF course the tickets had no value un-
til sold, and by making the proper
report, Mr.. Hollinger will be credited
with the tickets destroyed by the rats.
He says that the rats were not cheap
ones, for they ran over a bunch of Hot
Springs tickets, which are valued at
but $40, and made the nest out of
the $40 tickets. He also intimates that
the rats are from st. Louis, and gives
the rodents have been raised on st.
Louis food and when they came to
Little Rock picked out the st. Louis
fare.
The parts of tickets were collected in
waste basket and will be sent to ST.
Louis for redemption.
The rats are some of the breed that
infest the old Union Station and have
made their homes there for many gen.
erations. Passengers who have slept
in the waiting rooms while waiting for
the night trains allege that often they
are awakened by rats scurrying across
their feet, and if they happen to have
basket of lunch along, by the sound
of the box or basket, as it is pulled
from the seat to the floor by the rats.
One veracious passenger asserts that
while sitting in the station he saw
rat as large as a st. Bernard dog. And
another, who verified the story, added
that the rat had horns.

and even gray-bearded patriarchs are
studying theology, the total number of
resident monks being 5000.
Thibetan Buddhism, brought from
India in the seventh century, struggled
against the native Shamanism until
the ninth century, when a compromise
was agreed upon. According TO the
current teaching there are many spir-
its which are continually reincarnated
in men. The Dalai Lama is the lv-
ing Buddha. Another Defender of the
Faith is the Spirit Choidshen, whose
power is manifested through pious as
cetics that spend their lives in con-
temptation.
Since the fifteenth century all pow
err civil and spiritual, has been nom
inally in the hands of the Dalai Lama,
but China maintains a Manchu resi-
dent and an army. In order to avoid
strife in selecting a Dalai Lama, the
electoral council places three strips of
paper with the names of three boys in
an urn and the Manchu resident re-
moves one with a small staff. The new
Dalai Lama's education is intrusted to
college of learned men. Until his
22nd year, the government is in the
hands of a regent appointed by the
Emperor of China.
The present Dalai Lama is 81 years
old. He is the fifth since 1906, one of
the regents having continued in au-
thority for an unusually long time, ow-
ing to three children selected to be
Lamas having died before attaining
maturity.
The Dalai Lama's Council, in whose
/ hands the actual power mainly resides,
embraces four so-called Gallons" APP
pointed by the Emperor of China. The
administration is in the hands of a
! closed aristocracy, and bribery and
corruption are nearly universal.
Among the common penalties are
drowning, torture fiogging, Danish
ment and fines.
The Thibetan army of 1900 men is
poorly disciplined and is armed with
bows and old-fashioned guns. Rob-
berry flourishes.

A Fat Mans Grievance.
From the Baltimore Sun.

The Swedish government is about to
impose a tax at a fixed rate per pound
on all persons weighing over 125 pounds.
The fat man, it is held, gets more than
his equitable share of the good things
of life and should pay for the extra
space, air and edibles he consumes.
This leads railway contemporary to
argue that it is inquitable to charge
the same pric for carrying a 100
pound passenger. occupying single
seat space, as for a 300-pound indi-
vidual, requiring twice as much room.
Passenger rates, it is held, should be
fixed by the pound. Excess weight of
baggage is charged for; why not ex-
cess weight of passenger? The trunk
is less important and requires less
care than it's owner. But the propo-
sal has not been received with I'M
iversal favor. The jollity Of the cor
pulent man is entitled to recognition
in ratemaking, serving as it does to
lessen the grumbling caused by late
trains or other defective service.
