THE IRISH LAND BILL.
Proposes i. Grant of seo.ooo.ooo For
The Irish Tenants

on lon, Mar. e7.-The Irish secre-
tary, Mr.. Wyndham, introduced the

land bill in the house of commons 1t
proposes a free grant of $50, 600, 900 for
the purpose of the bill. Tenants are
to pay three and one-quarter per cent
interest on loans from the government.
Mr.. Wyndham said he thought the

but that $3.50, 600, 900 would safely be
advanced on Irish land, The advance
to tenants are limited to So, 500 in the
congested districts and So, 900 else
where. The bill also provides that
untenanted farms and grazing lands
shall be sold to neighboring tenants
and that three commissioners, to be
known as estate commissioners shall
supervise the sale. The names of the
three commissioners are Michael Finu-
cane, secretary of the government of
Bengal, revenue general and statistical
department; Frederick S. Wrench,

sioners, and William Z. Bailey, one of
the assistant commissioners on the

GET RICH QUICK FRAUDS.
Inspector Harrison Who Cleaned
Up Cuban Frauds Called.
BRISToW LEADS THE WORK.

Kansas City, Mo-, Mar. ao.-J. 2.
Harrison. chief of inspectors of the
postoffices in the Southwest, with head
quarters at Kansas City, has been
ordered and has already gone to Wash
ington to ''smolSc OUT the conditions
of fraud in the postofiice in connection
with the ''get-rich-quicl" schemes. He
was summoned by ]. L. Bristow, fourth
assistant postmaster general, to re-
ceive personal instructions for vigor-
Gus prosecution of these frauds.
Harrison is the man who exposed the
Nicely athbone- Reeves frauds in the
Cuban postal service, and was for
long time postmaster of Havana under
the United States. He is Kansas
man and was formerly a railway post
al clerk. He and Bristow are great
personal friends, and when the latter
got to Washington he favored Harri-
son to the extent of making him a
postoffice inspector. When the Cuban
frauds came up, Bristow thought about
Harrison and sent for him, just as he
has done in this case. Harrison went
to Havana, and worked out the frauds
and steals there.
The 'get-rich-quiclS" frauds are now
under investigation in the postoffice
department. 1t is charged that the
officers accepted money to indorse GER
tain of these suspicious concerns, and
that letters from them of an official
character were SO worded that they
could be used in advertising matter as
Endorsements of the business. Thus
the concerns, which have all since been
declared frauds and which have failed
without assets of any tangible value
were enabled. to pass muster ostensibly
under government sanction, and this
fact was one of their strongest adver-
tisements The concern most impli-
Gated is the former Arnold company,
of st. Louis, which failed badly. Old
General Tyner was virtually compelled
to resign on this account, and it is be-
iieved that the corruption is very wide
spread.

Greenville, Miss, Mar. 3O.-With a
tremendous crash the levee four miles
south of Greenville gave way and great
quantities of water are now pouring
through a 300 feet crevasse rapidly
flooding the most fertile land in the
great Yazoo delta. Major Sears says
it is the worst break ever experienced
on the Mississippi side and he states
that the whole delta from Greenville
to ViclSsburg will be flooded. This is
the first break reported on the Mis-
sissippi side during the present high
water.
Jackson, Miss. = Dispatches from
from Greenville state that the crevasse
in the levee south of that place has
widened into gap of three miles.

New Continent pIscorsrsd.

London, Mar. 3O.-President Mark
ham, of the Royal Geological Society,
says it has been proved conclusively
that the greater part of the Antartic
region is a vast continent. Captain
Scott, the commander of the Discovery,
penetrated 100 miles further south
than any previous explorer, and dis
covered an extensive infamous re-
gion, hitherto absolutely unknown,
extending to SO degrees 20 minutes
South He thinks this indicates that
the land stretches to the pole in
series of very lofty mountains, which
is considered to be far the most i'm
portant geographical result ever
achieved in Antarctic exploration. The
Discovery wintered 400 miles further
south than any vessel had previously

suffer From coffee prlnkIna.

Coffee does not set up disease with
all people using it, on the other hand
it absolutely does create disease in
thousands and thousands of cases
perfectly well authenticated and
traceable directly to coffee and moth
ing else.
This statement may hurt the feel
ings of some coffee drinkers but the
facts are exactly what they are.
Make inquiry of some of your cof-
fee drinking friends, and you may be
certain of one thing, one half of
them, yes more than half, suffer from
some sort of incipient or chronic dis
ease. If you want to prove it's. the
coffee, or would prefer to prove it is
not the coffee in these cases, take
coffee away from those persons for
from ten days to a month, don't
change the food in any other way but
give them Postum Food Coffee, and
the proof of whether coffee has been
the trouble or not will be placed be-
fore you in unmistakable terms.
A young lady in the st. Mary's
Academy, Winnipeg, Can, says,
"One or our teachers SUFFERED q long
while from indigestion. She was
coffee drinker. She became worse
steadily and finally was reduced to
a point where the stomach did not
retain any food, then electricity was
tried but without avail. She, Of
course, grew weak very fast and the
doctor said the case was practically
incurable.
About that time was attracted to
a statement in one Of the papers re-
garding the poisonous effect of cof-
fee and the value of Postum Food
Coffee. The statement was not e1-
travagant but couched in terms that
won my confidence and aroused me
to the belief that it was true. per-
suaded our teacher to leave on the
morning cup of coffee altogether and
use Postum Food Coffee.
"A change took place. She began
to get better. She has now regained
her strength and is able to eat almost
every kind of food and has taken her
position as teacher again." Name
