Mayo Nationalists will learn with
regret of the death, which occurred on
January 25th, of DR.. Miles De Exeter
Jordan, of Castelar,, who all through
life took deep interest in the welfare
Of Ireland and her people. His purse
and pen, as we'll as his tongue, We're
always at the disposal of the tenant
farmers of Ireland. Born at the an
cestral home Of the Jordans, at Raths-
levin Castle on the 4th of February,
1885, he took a particular fancy to the
medical profession, and after a dis
tinguished college career returned to
Mayo, where he was appointed as
medical officer for the Balla Dispens-
airy district. After few years at
Balla, he was appointed to the posi-
ton of visiting surgeon to the Castle
bar Union, and was also visiting physi-
clan to the county asylum and prison.
When the Mayo county council came
into office, and when a vacancy arose
for a coroner, that body, as a tribute
to the services of DR.. Jordan to the
National cause, unanimously elected
him, and scarcely had he been appoint
ed when the prisons board removed
him, as did the Midland Gread West
ern Railway company. Deceased was
vice-president of the West Mayo en-
ecutive, United Irish League, up to
had to resign.

Another old landmark is about to
disappear from Waterford, by the
forthcoming sale of Bishop Foy's en-
dowed school, at Grantstown-com-
prising the Mansion House, school and
demesne of 25 statute acres-situated
within mile of the Urbs Intacta, on
