FATHER CLEMSON HOME.
Says People of Ireland Gave King Ed

] Es {
 Says People of Ireland Gave King Ed
 ward Royal Welcome.
 The Rev Father Gleeson, pastor of St Patrick's church, returned last night from a trip abroad. About five weeks ago Father Gleeson sailed on the steamer Tuetonic for trip to Ire- land. He went on the ocean voya ge principally to enjoy rest for the ben eft of his health. He enjoyed a rest and his health was much improved by the trip. ,.r
 Father Gleeson was in Dublin on the occasion of the visit of the King and queen to that city. He said that the reception accorded to King Ed ward WAS extraordinary, something wonderful. The people went wild over him and during his visit there not one hiss against him was heard. It was quite different from the recep- ton given to Queen Victoria on the oc- casion of her last visit to the Emerald Isle, in all parts of which she met with a half hearted greeting. Tn the opinion of Father Gleeson, the present king appears to be favorably disposed toward the Irish people, who in turn have much respect for him. Through out his trip through Ireland King Ed ward was warmly greeted.
 The weather in Dublin has been un- usually severe There has been so much rain. such severe thunder storms, that the crops have been runined. The hay is rotten and the potato crop is almost total wreck.
 In regard to the new land Gill, the pastor of St Patrick's says the Irish people in general are disposed to fd- vor it.
 During the kings visit in Dublin, during the magnificent. reception and celebration, there were less people ar- rested for drunkenness than during any week in the year--a fine showing for any class of people to make
 Father Gleeson states that his health has been much improved and that he only went on the trip above mentioned to enjoy a rest on the ship going and coming On board the ship at Queenstown he mot the Rev Father William Keefe of this city. who was recently ordained to the priesthood at the American college in Louvain, Belgium Father Keefe is in fine health and enjoyed the trip homeward. Fine weather was en- countered throughout the week. He was pleased to land on American soil once again after an absence of sev eral weeks.
 Father Gleeson learned for the first time that new pope had Deen elect ed when he arrived at quarantine yes terday morning and purchased severa, papers. It is his opinion that Pope Plus X will be worthy successor tc Leo KILT,

Cause of Rancfdity,

Rancidity of butter has received a variety of explanations. A chemical study leads Jensen, a German bac- terie1ogfst, to conclude that micro organisms are the cause, three species being especially active, and that the air plays no part except in stimulat- ing the growth of the bacteria Salt retards their growth. They require oxygen, and in protecting butter 1t is desirable to keep it in large masses, exposing the smallest possible surface to the air.

Without doubt the building is the most

| Second Assistant Postmaster General would
| establish horse carrier route in some re
mote part Of the county at. say. $1,000 q
year. Under the law If the service were

increase the pay in its discretion.
The practice was that when the route
had been established at $1,000 year, with

! to a service twice daily the pay would be

advertisement Of the prosecution. There is
no reason to doubt that the result on the

years ago.
The star route cases involved the criminal

Excise Commissioner James NJ. Seibert,
formerly chairman Of the Democratic State

When Mr.. Seibert was asked concerning
the political interest which he had in the
measure, he replied that he had none. but
that Mr.. Cook was chairman Of the State
