Gatherings Were Addressed by the
Irish Leaders.

IRISH Leaders.
London, March 15.-SeveraI Irish
members of parliament addressed de-
monstrations at Liverpool, Manchester.
Birmingham and Dundee on the better
prospects of an Irish land settlement.
John Redmond, speaking at Liver
pool, said the governments Irish land
purchase bill offered a great hope of a
settlement. The policy of coercion, he
added, had changed to a policy of con-
Citation, but in view of vast disap-
pointments the Irish party was not too
sanguine. If 1t was worth while to
spend millions of pounds on the acqui-
sition of two Dutch republics, it was
much more important to spend a few
hundred thousand pounds in conciliat-
ing Ireland.
William Redmond. in a speech at
Manchester. declared that the land
lords had surrendered to the national
party.

Capt. John H. Mills Reelected as City
Treasurer.

AS will be seen in the proceed
ings Of our newly-elected mayor
and councilmen, Capt. John H.
Mills was again elected city treas
urer for the ensuing two years.
Treasurer Mills has served in that
important position for 26 years,
and has always received his Office
by a unanimous vote. Such
hearty and continuous endorse
ment has, perhaps, never been be-
fore accorded a citizen of this
State. We take pleasure in add
ing that this popular official fully
merits the high honors conferred,
and cordially endorse the action
of our new mayor and councilmen
in this respect. Summit Sentinel.
Capt. Mills, who is the father
of Harry Mills, Brookhaven's
clever railroad ticket agent, has
many friends in Brookhaven, who
are glad to note this renewed evil
dence of the confidence in which
he is held by his home people.

The Leader was in error last

The Leader was in error last
week in saying that the fire alarm
at Seavey's new store was caused
by a defective arc lamp and cleo
trio light wire" Our sentence
should have closed at the words
"arc lamp" Supt. Gull informs
US that the wiring was in no way
at fault and that it is impossible
under the system of wiring in use
by him for a fire to occur in this
way. He further says that the
alarm, though genuine, was a
needless one, as the defective
lamp itself would not have set the
building on fire. The Leader is
glad to publish this assurance
from the Superintendent about
the safety of the wiring, for the
Satisfaction of its city readers
in general.

Don't Worry.

This is easier said than done, yet it
may be of some help to consider the
matter. If the cause is something over
which you have no control it is obvious
that worrying will not help the matter
in the least. On the other hand, if
within your control you have only to
act. When you have cold aud fear

of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and

A party of young people, chap
eroned by Rev. &. T. Chandler,
went out to DR.. C. L. Ripley's
residence Friday evening to enjoy
few hours with their school
mates, sons of DIR. Ripley. Bro.

unfortunate leap from the stalled
hack. Matters became somewhat
serious after this; but when
