has been selected as the date for the
! ceremony at Fontenoy when the memorial
to the Irish Brigade will be unveiled. The
Letters from the burgomaster of Fonte- !
noy and DR.. Desmons, who has been as
active in Journal over this revival of
| Irish relationship with the homes of the
! Wild Geese as il he were an Irish consul,
show the interest that is being taken locally
I in the memorial. Fontenoy has from the
! beginning been insistent upon its claims to
the custody of the monument, and is ap-
parently proud of the decision which has
recognized those claims. Indeed Fontenoy,
though a continental town. has many Of the
| features of a little homely Irish village,
and it is believed that the Celtic Cross
will not be out of place on the little viii
lage green.
The evidence given before the Belfast
health commission is extremely interest
ing. Some years ago the Daily Chronicle"
in connection with an epidemic in the Ulster
capital, published a series of articles sug-
costing that Belfast from the insanitary,
jerry building point of view was easily
/ first of all towns in these countries. At the
commission DIR. Bailllie, the experimenting
health officer, stated that the city had
piggery for every day I'm the year, with
2,TO pigs. He declares that there are too
few sanitary inspectors, and that sanitary
work is not adequately carried out. For a
new city the death rate of Belfast is ab7
normal - partly from consumption, and
partly and more especially from infantile
mortality. The peculiar feature Of Bel
fast. however, which differentiates It from
Dublin is that the greater part of it has
been built very rapidly, and during the last
half century The growth OF the linen

the building trade from the point OF view
OF hygienic and scientific house construc-

False Label Brings Fine.
The Irish Industrial Development asso-
citation is being heartily congratulated
upon a successful prosecution conducted in
London under the merchandise marks act.
A well known London firm. it appears,
Messrs. c. and A. Daniels. were prosecuted
for the sale Of stun falsely indicated to be
Donegal tweed, contrary TO the provisions
of the merchandise marks act. 1887; and
also did unlawfully and with intention to
defraud sell such tweed TO the said Mrs.
Sheehan. to which had been applied the
false trade description whereby the said
goods were falsely indicated to be Done
gal tweed" The facts in the case were
never in reality disputed The prosecuted
firm announced a great winter clearance
sale in which they advertised Donegal
tweed at greatly reduced rates. Mrs. Mary
Sheehan, to whom much credit is due and
who was specially complmented by the
magistrate on her evidence, purchased three
yards os the stun. The assistant assured
her that it was all wool and a great bar
gain. But there was some little difficulty
when she requested that Donegal" should
be marked on the receipt for the salts
faction OF an imaginary lady for whom the
purchase purpoTted to be made. The stun
when examined was found to have no wool
at all but to be composed Of half cotton
and half shOddy. The startling element of
novelty was introduced into the case when
the subordinate in question, Mr.. Govette,
was put into the box. He boldly claimed
to have invented the word Donegal" as
an attractive prefix to the word tweed. The
} defense, though ingenious, proved a failure,
