STEADY DECLINE IN IRELAND
Population Almost HaIved by Emigra-
tiOn-More Marriages, Fewer
Children.

To the old and painful story OF the steady
decline in the population of Ireland are
added in the registrar generals return of
births, marriages and deaths only two
cheerful features-a marked diminution in
the death rate and in the number of emf
grants.
Apart from these two elements, in one Of
which there is reason TO fear the improve
ment is only temporary, says the London
Express, the statistics detract nothing from
the disquieting effect Of the reports Of tho
past decade.
The number OF births, which in 1891 was
los, i16, fell last year to 100 ,976, or nearly
1000 less than the average of the ten years.
Marriages, 22,564 in number, were slightly
over the average, and deaths totaled 79,119,
as compared with IS 500 in 1891, and 0,64i
in 1892, and a decCnnial average of S3g04.
The number of emigrSnts, which ten
years ago was 50, 1928, fell to Sa,613, as COM
pared with a ten years average Of 1853;
but the decrease in the population is never
theless as much as II, 1856. though something
has TO be set OFF against this on account of
immigration, of which no official record has
been obtained.
The situation will be better understood
by comparing the population figures cal
culated to the middle of last year with those
of Ireland's period of maximum popula-
tion and the figures for 1924, when the coll
lection Of vital statistics was first systc-
matized. These returns show the following

BLOOD HUMOURS

Speedily Cured by CutlCura
Soap, Ointment and Pills,
When All Other Remedies and

COMPLETE TREATMENT. $500.

In the treatment of torturing, dlshg-
uring, itching, sc;ly, crusted, pimply,
blotchy and scrofu lous humours of the
skin, scalp and blood, with loss of hair,
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills have
been wonderfully successful. Even
the most obstinate of constitutional hu-
mours, such as bad blood, scrofula, in
herited and contagious humours, with
loss OF hair, g~landular swellings, ulcer
u patches In the throat and mouth,
sore eyes, co%pper-colored blotches, as
we'll as boils, earbuncles, scurvy, sites,
ulcers and sores arising from an Inn
pure or impoverished condition OF the
blood, yield 10 the Cuticura Treatment,
when all other remedies and methods
fail.
Aud greater still, II possible. is the
wonderful record of cures Of torturing,
dishguring humours among infants and
children. The suffering which Cuti-
cura SOAP and Ointment have alleviated
among the young, aud the comfort
they have afforded WORKOUT and wor-
Tied parents, have led 10 their adoption
in countless homes as priceless cura-
tiVes for the skin and blood. Infantile
and birth humours, milk crust, scan
head, eczema, rashes aud every form of
itching, scaly, pimply skin aud scalp
humOurs, with loss OF hair, of infancy
aud childhood, are speedily, perma-
nently and economically cured when
all other remedies suitable for children,
aud even the best physicians, fail.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-01-13

From these figures 1t will be seen that
the population in the middle of last year
was 1852, $40 less thar II was seventy
eight years ago, and If the estimated pop
ulation in tho middle of the present year
4,425, 00O-be compared with that OF the
maximum year, the diminution in ffty-six
years will be found to reach the astonish-
ing figure of 3,S70, 061.
Two or three other points In the regis
trar-general's return are worthy of notice.
The excess of births over deaths was 21,-
$50; the loss by emigration amounted to 49,
613; the number Of illegitimate births was
1888, or only 2.6 per cent OF the total, as
against 4 per cent in England and Wales,
and 6.5 per cent in Scotland. Deaths from
homicidal violence numbered only forty,
and in the whole of Ireland there were but
two persons hanged; while OF the total OF
Q ,119 deaths only 1858 we're attributed TO
insanity.
These last sets Of figures satisfactorily
dispose of a good many sensational state
ments which have been made with regard
to diminishing Ireland"
On the other hand, tho returns relating to
pauperism show but few hopeful features.
The number OF workhouse inmates is given
as AZ, 1856, IN increase OF 504 over the pre-
vious year, and the number in receipt OF
out-relief was $3.50, or 473 fewer than In
1900. Ten years ago the figures were Al, IA
and 81, 52s respectively. The average prices
of provisions show little variation from the
mean of the ten years.

cast for Mrs. A. B. Branst, republican.
Mrs. Grenfelt was Endorsed by the popu-
list state convention.
After the joint session the senate met
and adopted its rules. A sensational fea-
ture was one making reports of the com

was a rule providing that II the president
Of the senate at any time refused to submit
a question to vote the secretary Of the
