FOLLOWS OLD CUSTOM.
Irish Lace Ball Recalls Memories Of
Other Days.

Special Cablegram to The Star
DUBLIN, January 19-The Countess Of
Aberdeen in announcing her intention of
issuing invitations for an Irish lace ball and
an Irish tweed afternoon party during the
coming Dublin Castle season is following a
century old example given by the Countess
Hardwicke at the time Of the vice royalty
of her husband, the Earl of Hardwicke. On
this occasion, however, it was neither lace
nor tweed that was the industry to be re-
vived or pushed, but straw plating.
For some time the business Of straw hat
and bonnet making had been SO much on
the decline that the Countess of Hardwicke
determined to get up a straw ball to help
the impoverished workers. 1t was held in
the Rotunda on the evening of the 26th Of
tainment was afterward given in the Dub
lin Evening Post. Among other things
mentioned by the Post at that time may be
mentioned the following:
1T gave us much satisfaction to witness
dresses trimmed with ribbons and straw.
The dress worn by her eXcelency was fam
cifully elegant, displaying to the best adj
vantages all the beautiful purposes to which
the manufacture Of straw may be applied
in female attire. The gentlemen wore straw
cockades and other fanciful uses of the
| manufacture. The supper was laid out with
straw decorations.

by Government.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, January 19.-The fine stone church
called the Sacre Occur, on the Hill of Mont
martre in Paris, which was built by public
subscription, has been placed in the hands
of the government receiver on the ground
that it forms part of the episcopal manse of
the archbishop of Paris. 1t is stated that
the church will shortly be handed to the

ganization department.
This beautiful edifice, one of the finest in
the world in many respects, was begun in
1875 and up to the present time has cost
nearly SO 600 600, which sum was collected
by the clergy from people in all parts of
France. For years the church has been re-
garded as one of the sights of Paris. 1t re-
Quired thirty years to build and the decora-
ton of the interior is not even yet COM
plete.
It has not yet been decided what use the
church will be put to by the public assist
ance department.

Yields to Atoxyl.
Special Cablegram to The Sta

Special Cabegram to The Star
BERLIN, January ia minute &C
count of the wonderful cures of sleeping
sickness, which are being performed by DR..
Koch on the shores of Victoria Nyanza,
is given in the imperial board Of health's
report.
The atoxyl, which is administered by the
doctor, is stated to exterminate the germs
of the dread disease within six hours of
injection in any part of the body. AL
though this was first observed about six
months ago, DIR. Koch continued to watch
the effects of the atoXyl for four months,
and even during the past two months he
has continued to experiment with the idea
of making certain that he had discovered
a genuine cure.
He treated thousands of natives during
this period. Eight hundred were treated
during the first week of November alone,
and 200 were treated during the ensuing
two weeks. The atoXyl always relieved the
patient within six eight hours, and no
relapses were observed
The English scientists, DR.. Groy and DR..
Grog share the credit of the discovery as
DIR. Koch frankly acknowledged using their
previous researches in finding cure.

Wornout Dray Horses Sent to Belgium

Special Cablegram TO The Star
LONDON, January 19.-London and Ant
werp have a scandal which in some ways
would appear to double discount those con-
nected with the packing houses in Chicago.
1t has been discovered that large trade
has been built up in connection with the
shipping of old and wornout English dray
horses and other wornout animals to Bel
GUM to be used for food. The extent of
this traffic can be understood when it is
recalled that in single day recently 416
horses were shipped to Belgium for that
purpose by six steamers, the shipments
being made from Hull, Goole. Leith, New
castle and London. Efforts will be made
by the English and the Belgian govern
ments to put an end to the scandal, though
lust at the present time it would appear
as though both countries are lacking in
legislation to put an end to traffic of
this nature.

He detested the habit of lying or prevaricating in the slight est degree and would not allow his servants to say he was not at home if he was.

If I accus- tom my servant to tell a lie for me, have I not reason to apprehend that he will tell it for himselfY' A strict adherence to truth the doctor consid- cred as O sacred obligation, and in re- lat1ng the smallest anecdote he would mot allow himself the minutest addi. ton to cmbelIish his story.
