THERE is no excuse for anybody to
claim that they can't get work this
year. There is work and to spare Of all
kinds. Good wages are being paid and
there should be practically no demand
on charity during the coming winter.
Still, OF course, there will be, as there
are some drones in every community
who don't want to and will not work.

HOME RULE.
After One Hundred Years Ireland Will
Have Partial Liberty.

Great Britain will at last
raise it's mailed hand from the
fairest isle of the seas, Ireland.
The people have worn a gall
ing yoke from which they have
fought and appealed for more
than a century. Home rule
and land grant is at last in
sight.
Now here is a piece of news
that is greater than the forego.
ing, to an average American.
Tables kept by England herself
prove that OF the four countries
Eng land, Scotland, Wales and
Ireland, Ireland is the most
vlrtous. fewer children born out
of wedlock, Ireland is the
most temperate, they drink less
alcoholic liquors and by nature,
the happiest of the four people.
One other fact, Dublin, before
the mailed hand was laid on
her, was to the world what
Paris, France is and she was
to the world what Yale and
Harvard are to America So
don't turn up your nose at the
Irish.
We have the New Nobby
Hat.-LEvY'S.

From Death by Drowning at Momau- . guin Last Evening.
 Rev. Dr. Watson L. Phillips, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer of this city, saved a young mans life at Mo- mauguin last night. It appears that George Myers, of No. 15 Clark street, was suddenly seized with cramps while in bathing. He was rapidly losing strength, when Herman Wollseiffen, a water, plunged to his res- cue. The waiter could not swim, but hoped to reach the drowning youth. The two grappled and a death struggle apparently ensued. Both men were nearly drowned when dragged into g. boat by Stanley Hall, son of W. B. Hall the State street furniture dealer, and J. E. Austin.
 When Myers was landed on shore he was evidently lifeless. Dr. Phillips, however, worked over him in a most energetic manner and when Dr. Hol- brook arrived the physician attributed Myers resuscitation wholly to Dr. Phil lips efforts.
 Dr. Phillips was assisted by mem Der of the junior class of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania.
