New York, October M.-A reception was members of Parliament from Ireland, Ed ward Blake, Thomas J. Kettle and Rich ard Hazleton at Carnegie hall tonight by the United Irish league. MT. O'Con- nor said he recognized that those pres- ent had a right to ask him what his party had been doing for Ireland. Many of them, he said has seen two different Irelands; one within the memory of some was an Ireland of slaves.
 MT. O'Connor then told of the slavery of the Irish people as he knew them as a boy. Today, he said, one-third of the soil of Ireland was owned by the Irish peasantry.. Today the men formerly slaves walked like free men in a free land. The English government, said Mir O'Con- nor was preparing some sort of home government for Ireland, which would be presented at the next session of Parlia- ment, but what it was he did not know. However, he added, they would accept nothing but an Irish executive responsible to an Irish assemblage. He said he was in America to obtain its moral and ma terial support and then added:
 At this point l must make correc- tion of a report which in one respect l anne sure does not represent what 1 said in a speech in Brooklyn last night. l did not state that President Roosevelt would say something on the Irish question which may make possible the realization of our hopes. If l had made any such state ment 1 would have said something for which 1 had no warrant What l did say -ls..l.

Cleveland, O., October 22.-George Z | Bell. a wealthy citizen of Ohio. lostN | valise containing s4s.od0 worth of neg, tiable bonds while coming into this city on suburban car late Saturday night. Another valise almost like him was left in it's place by stranger who sat close to Bell. Bell did not discover his loss un- til he got off the car, and then he made a report of the affair to the police. After working on the case all day today the DO. lice tonight arrested Leslie Odell. rail- road fireman, in nearby suburb, and found the bonds in his possession. Odell said the thing was all a mistake, that he did not know that he had taken any, bodys property, and that he had not oven opened the valse. He was greatly surprised when shown the fortune which he had in his possession.
 All the bonds were intact. Odell was, however, locked up charged with grand larceny, being unable to obtain bond.

 Several days previous to the game an attempt was made to get the contest post poned or cancelled. The manager was unable to bring about this result, and in order that $3OO T ght not be forfeited, agreed to play the game with any team available. He informed the Vanderbilt coach on that visit that his "scrubs" would hardly afford the Commodores a practice.
 Coach Pollard is not disheartened par ticle, and is still confident that Alabama will make a good record on the gridiron this season. The members of the team smile when the game Is referred to, and they, too, are not at all gloomy over the outlook. The impression is strong in Tuscaloosa that Auburn will be beaten again this season.

King Charles | was executed, and,
as customary, the various Legiti-
mist and Jacobite leagues and or
ders celebrated the anniversary by
holding memorial meetings and de-
posting flowers at the foot of the
statue of Charles I on Trafalgar
Square. A largely attended serv-
ice was held in the morning in st.

officiating clergy was attired in red
vestments, this being symbolical of
the blood of the martyr. The serv-
ice was almost identical with that
of the Roman Catholic church, ex-
cept that the prayers and responses
were in English instead of Latin.
