COLONEL LYNCH Is FREE.
Sir Thomas Upton Obtains Release
of the Irish Soldier,

London, Jan. 26.-Colonel Arthur
Lynch, who commanded the Irish bri-
gade against the British forces during
the war in South Africa and who was
afterward convicted Of treason and
sentenced to Imprisonment for life,
has been liberated ION license" Lynch
has not received the royal pardon.
The liberation of Colonel Lynch is
the outcome of an interesting series
Of events. When Michael Davitt was
last in the United States he saw
President Roosevelt, who mentioned
Colonel Lynch to him, saying he had
once entertained him at Albany. The
president expressed great interest in
the case and regretted he could not
suggest clemency without laying him
self open to palpable snub. On his
return to England Mr.. Davitt mention
ed his conversation with President
Roosevelt to Sir Thomas Upton and
to Mrs. Lynch, who has suffered bit
terly since her husbands arrest. He
also made pathetic appeal to Sir
Thomas, who then personally inter-

Sleep.

Up to the fifteenth year most young
people require ten hours sleep and till
the twentieth year nine hours. After
that age every one finds out how much
he or she requires, though. as general
rule, at least six to eight hours are nec-
essary. Eight hours sleep will prevent
more nervous arrangements in women
than any medicine can cure. During
growth there must be ample sleep it
the brain is to develop to its fullest ex-
tent. and the more nervous. excitable
or precocious a child is the longer sleep
it should get if its intellectual progress
is not to come to premature stand
still or its life cut short at an early age.
