Special Cable to The Herald.
DUBLIN, Jan. 13.-Ireand is to hold
worlds fair in 1907. 1t will embody
the results of the industrial revival
which has swept over the island during
the past decade. a large plot of ground
in Dublin has been purchased, work
will be begun on the buildings in a
few weeks, and in the summer of next
year the Emerald isle will invite the
world to come and visit it.
Plans for this undertaking have been
maturing for some years. There have
been many obstacles to overcome, but
the movement has been led by such
indomitable men as James Shanks, eX-
lord mayor of Dublin, and they determ-
ined at the start that they would not
fail. They have at last raised the
necessary guarantee fund, and the en-
terprise is on most promising basis.
Irish Products
The main feature of the exposition
will be the exhibition of home manu-
factures. Everything will be done, by
the erection of suitable buildings and
facilities for display to make the Irish
section a show worth going any dis
tance to see. All trades and every
handicraft will be amply represented.
Cottage industries will be given a
prominent pace ana the native arts
and crafts will have a great display.
This is rare opportunity for the irish
manufacturer, who. unless he exhibits
abroad, has never had such crowds as
he will have in 1907 to see his products.
To Get Markets
The untraveled Irishman will have
his first opportunity in many years to
see the newest things of foreign man.
ufacture. Furthermore, Ireland's great
est need just now Is for markets for
the wares which are the first fruits of
the Industrial revival now in progress.
The promoters believe that these mark
cts can be found in no better way than
by the holding of worlds fair" All
these things show why Ireland is look
ing forward eagerly to the beginning
of work upon her greatest exhibition.
incidentally. hundreds of thousands
of visitors will be drawn to Ireland
by the exhibition for the first time. 1t
is expected, too, that this exposition
will form a magnet which will draw
thousands of Irish-Americans back for
visit to their old homes. 1t is no
wonder, then, that Ireland is looking
forward to great things in 1907.

BROKEN HEART
CAUSES DEATH

SAN BERNARDIN0 MAN
Ministerial Association Expects to
Open Coffee Club Rooms In
Competition With the
Saloons
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. IA
broken heart is believed by his friends
here to he the cause Of the death Of J.
W. MacReynolds of this city at San
Diego yesterday.
About a year ago MacReynolds lost
his wife, Her death seemed to greatly
affect him and he many times remarked
to friends that he would not long sur
vive, as there was nothing left in the
world for him to live for.
A small estate was left by his wife,
and It was just two weeks ago that it
was closed UP in this city. MacRey-
nolds was here, and when he signed the
final papers It was with an air of one
who had completed his llfe's work. He
then went to the home of his brother
near San Diego and gradually sank to
his death.
The Ministerial association Of this
city is considering the opening of a
coffee club with a view of counteract-
ing as much as possible the influences
of the saloons and certain class of
cafes among the young men of the city.
1t is believed there Is an excellent field
here for such an institution, and 1t is
probable that in the very near future
steps will be taken to insure it's
opening.
A stranger giving his name as
Thomas O'Dell is under arrest here
charged with forgery. The check was
for S5 which he is said to have passed
on local saloon keeper, the firm name
of Bright & Drew being signed to the
paper. The man was formerly en-
ployed by the firm but has of late been
unemployed.
Divorce Case Heard
The case of William Vinson who
asks a divorce from his WIFE Jennie
Vinson, was heard in the superior court
here today, and the decree will prob
ably issue Vinson, who is prominent
Salvation Army worker here, married
a woman who gave the name of Jennie
Kiniol and who claimed to be widow
four years ago. A few months ago Vim
son discovered that his wife had a liv-
ing husband in the person of Michael
McAuliffe, whom she married at Flag
staff, Ariz., December 90, 1899 and who
deserted her few months later. The
woman disappeared soon after Vinson
discovered her duplicity and has not
been seen since.
Thieves entered the office of the
Cotton Times Thursday night and car
rled on small quantity or invaluable
stuff which would be Of no use to any
one except a printer. The thief was
later caught as he was trying to board
a Southern Pacific freight train and
has been held to the superior court.
He gives the name of Michael McWil-
liams.
A class of twenty-eight candidates
were initiated in the Fraternal Order
of Eagles at last nights meeting. 1t
was one of the largest classes of new
members the San Bernardno aerie has
ever received.

WARRANT AGAINST MOTHER.
Son Claims Mother Made Threats
Against His Life.

Against His Life.
Columbus, Ga, May 23-Mrs. Sa
bina V. Virgins has just been arraign
ed before Justice J. M. Lennard as de
fendant in novel case, the prosecutor
being Charley Virgins, her son, who
had peace warrant issued against his
mother. The case was dismissed by
the magistrate after thorough investi
cation.
Virgins, who is an only child, mar
ried last October and says that his
mother raised objection to her daugh
ter-in-law and would not let the young
couple live with her The couple then
made their home on the Alabama side
of the Chattahoochee, in Girard.
Virgins claimed that his mother
had made such threats against him
that his life was in danger. His moth,
er is tall and strong and is probably
more than a match for him physically
On the stand the young man swore
that he had heard that his mother
would separate the couple if she had
to kill one or both of them. He tes-
titled that his mother had visited his
home in Girard at unseemly hours of
night and placed salt and straw on his
steps and sulphur in his we'll.
Mrs. Virgins denied these state
ments in toto.

The Way to Treat This Distressing
AfHictiOn.
Eczema can, even when inherited, be
controlled by attention to the general
principles of health-cleanliness exer-
else, proper diet, clothing and ventila-
tion. Eczema patients, old and young,
should never use stimulants in any
form. They should take daily baths
and be most particular as to the regu-
larity of all important bodily functions.
Occasional doses of mild saline aperi-
ents, such as cream tartar, phosphate
of soda or the old fashioned remedy of
lac sulphur and cream tartar, mixed in
equal quantities, with enough molasses
to form creamy paste and taken
three times a day for ten days running,
then omitted until again required, will
be found of wonderful benefit. Let the
patient drink freely of lemonade and
avoid salt meats, pork In any form,
and live upon a diet of fruits, red
meats and antiscorbutic vegetables.
Many people are particularly suscep-
tible to shellfsh, and a case of eczema
sometimes follows the eating Of lobster
repeatedly. Strawberries will also pro-
duce this effect frequently. Vigorous
exercise will often, by inducing excess
i've perspiration, act as a curative for
eczema, particularly when combined
with the use of harmless external
application. Sulphur baths are eff1ca-
ciOus for most skin diseases. If possi-
BILE, 1t Is we'll to take them in an estab-
lished bath house, but they may be pre-
pared at home as follows: To each ten
gallons of water add an ounce of sui
phuret of potassium, or to each fifteen
gallons of water add an ounce of sui
phuret Of calcium. Where there is itch
ing and the eruption seems virulent the
sulphur bath is excellent as a prelimi-
nary treatment
