LONDON, May %. 1907.
l am able to state definitely that the gov
eminent has decided not to proceed with
the Irish council bill. But the decision of
the convention has come as a great sur
prise to the cabinet, who were certainly
misled as to-the reception the bill would
receive. Mr.. Birrell had the best reasons
to hope that the bill would be we'll received
in Ireland since the leaders of the Irish
party who knew the general outlines Of
the scheme were anxious that 1t should be
introduced. No one imagines that either
Mr.. Redmond or Mr.. Dillon desired the
introduction of the bill in order that the
halfway house to home rule should be
discredited. 1t is probable that they also
people when they pressed for the intro
duction Of the measure. But how they
could have been mised in the matter to
such a serious extent is a mystery.
Liberal members were much disa ppointed
that Mr.. Redmond did not take a stronger
line at the convention. They expected that
he would at least advise an adjournment
of the discussion until Mr.. Birrell had some
further chance of explaining the difficult
points of the bill. Those liberal members
who have been over to Ireland declare that
Mr. Redmond was swept away by the tor
rent and that his only chance of keeping
his party intact was to go with the stream.
Had he fought the convention he would
have been beaten, and it is difficult to see
10" ho touiu tHeH nave retained the leauer-
ship of the nationalist party in the house
of commons.
Several of the nationalist members found
their way back to Westminster yesterday
and expressed regret that the bill shoulu
not have been given a better chance. 1t
seems indeed, that the nationalist MEM
bers at Westminster have been overruled
by an ultra-nationalist movement of which
they had entirely miscaiculated the
strength. Whatever happens in the future,
it is not likely we shall hear much more
of the Irish members this session.
1t Is said good authority today that
evicted tenants bill and will make some
small amendments to the land act But
another big Irish bill is, of course, out of
the question for several sessions to come.

The Father of the House.

Lie Z dIuer Oh the house.
In the death of Mr.. Finch who sat In the
house of commons for forty years as rep
resentative from the constituency. gives the
title Of father of the house" to Sir
Henry Campbell Zimmerman, who has rep
resented Stirling for nearly the same period.
Mr.. Finch's house at Burnley on the IN
near Oakham is one of the finest private
houses in England and has it's place in
from 1t Henry Spencer. bishop of Nor
witch. issued with extraordinary prompti-
tude on hearing of the Wat Tyler rebellion.
He must have known good deal of the
state Of feeling in his diosese to have act
ed so swiftly, and John Lyster. the re-
bellious dyer of Norwich must have been
somewhat astopished, as he certainly was
defeated by the small army that the bishop
marched with such vigor to his cathedral
city.
The house went afterward to the Villiers
family and the Duke of Buckingham en-
tertained there with great splendor James
the first. But his entertainment of Charles
and his queen is even more famous, be-
cause 1t was on that occasion that Geof-
frey Hudson. the dwarf who was born at
Oakham, was served up in a pie for the
diversion of the king and queen. The Duke
of Buckingham made the house a mag
niticent place, but its glory was Short
lived, for it was garrison of the parlia-
ment in the civil war and when the royal
lists had it at their mercy the roundheads
burned 1t to the ground.
1t was an Earl of Nottingham who made
the present house. However, the story of
the house has in later years less-known
chapters. In the peerage the ninth Lord
Wnchilsea appears with a few lines which
relate that he died unmarried, and the
honOrs passed to cousin. But in the
Harrow School register it is recorded that
at Christmas, 1905, there entered the school
George Thompson. son of the Earl of
Winchilsea. who took, in 1907. the name of
Finch which is one of the Winchilsea fam
lily names. To him Lord Winchilsea left, at
his death. in 1926. all the property that he
was free to devise, and Burley-on- the
Hill once more changed hands. 1t is a
large estate of over 1900 acres. and at
tat time. in the profitable days for coun-
try gentlemen, its rent roll was more than
82S,OOO a year. 1t is no doubt less now but
there are many compensations. The house
stands remarkably well on height COM

Plays and Players.
Mr. Tree produced Oscar Wildes "a
Woman of No Importance" this week. and
1t is as brilliant as 1t was thirteen years
ago at its first appearance. The audience
was surprised to find a considerably
smaller stage than the huge one they are
used to at the big scenic productions
there.
Mr. Tree made the alteration because a
modern comedy would be rather lost on
the roomy His Majestys stage, and to bet
ter the acoustic properties of the theater
he closed the gallery as well. When Mr.
Tree was experimenting the building OF
the theater he foresaw the difficulties that
would arise If ever he wished to produce a
'drawing-room piece" so he planned a
second false proscenium. But although
the idea was excellent, something hitherto
prevented it from being carried out Now,
however, the difficulties have been over
come and for Oscar Wldes comedy the
stage is of comparatively small proper
tons.
1t is rather odd that five of the leading
American companies American plays,
while a sixth is occupied by German play
ers. To this formidable list will be added
''The Merry Widow" to be produced at
Days Theater early next month. The
most favorable reports of this piece nave
been received. 1t has had lengthy run
in Vienna, st. Petersburg. Copenhagen and
other continental cities. The music is said
to be unusually bright and sparkling, the
libretto amusing and the stage effects I'M
commonly striking. 1t is the work of a
young composer Herr Lehar, who has
written a number of successful operettas.

POOR PAY OF THE PEDAGOGUES.

Increased salaries for teachers were recommended by the Kentucky Educational association in session at Winchester, after it was shown that the average salary now is less than that paid section hands on railroads.
 Boards of education in the cities and towns of Kentucky and the trustees of the country schools all complain aboa. how difficult it is to secure competent teachers. The solution is apparent U anybody who tries to discover it. low salaries The man or woman com potent to successfully handle a school is competent to handle some other line of business which pays a better salary than is paid the teacher. The demand for competent people in every line of business, commercial, trad and professional, is so great that q large per cent of the best teachers are drawn away from the schoolroom.- Owensboro (Ky.)

Empleyes of Dreyfus' Big Store Fur nished No Little Amusement to Spectators During the Storm
 This Afternoon.

A frightful wind storm swept over the city this afternoon at o'clock and for time the inhabi- tants were wondering whether or not it would prove serious. The wind was followed by shower of rain.
 The approaching storm was first noticed when a bank of black clouds came from the Northwest. The wind came sudden and filled the air with flying obstacles, dust and debris. Awnings and posts were blown down, but no bad damage has been reported. In the down. town district the storm caused no little excitement. owing to the blird ing dust which accompanied it.
 The wind swept into the door of the clothing department of Drey fus' Department store on Main st.. and blew several boxes of hats of various styles, being unpaclled,

 STREET WORK
Is Personally Experimenting Im- pr0vements Being Made on Side
 Streets in the City.

Mayor Toney is personally super intending the work on the cross street between Fourth and Sixth aevnues These streets have been in bad condition for some time, and Mayor Toney Monday started all of the city teams to work on them. While all of the teams had been do- ing fairly good work, he thought that by being present he could per haps hasten the work, which he considers so necessary for the inn provement of the western part of our city.
 The work on these streets will occupy at least the rest of this week and possibly half of next week.
 When the work is finished City Engineer Parkes and Mayor Toney have other work on the streets for the teams, for they intend to i'm prove a large number of the streets of the city.

It seems to the Graphic that mys- terious fires, suspected of being Of incendiary origin, should be made a subject for official investigation. There are altogether too many fires of 'un- known origin in this city as else where. but if these things were more thoroughly investigated there would very likely be less of them. Only Monday night a dreadful confiagration in the heart of the business dlstrlcI of this city was narrowly averted. That the loss was not greater is due to the prompt and efficient work Of the fire department and good water pressure. Whether this fire was the result of carelessness or the work or an incendiary is of course unknown, but whatever the cause it should be investigated and discovered, if possi- ble. Such fires are too serious ln their possibilities to be lightly over- looked. Official investigation Of all fires would make them less frequent.

FREE NEGRO WAS
 NOT FREE NEGRO

A negro by the name of John Cham pion came into the police headquac- ters this morning and after paying fine of s5, which had recently bee imposed upon him, started to go out again. He was stopped, however, by Policeman Stanley, who recognized him as being a negro wanted in the circuit court for jumping his bail. { fine had been assessed against him for some minor offense in the justices court, and he appealed it to the circuit court, and was in the meantime re- leased on bail. At the time set for his trial, however, he did not appear. The negro admitted being the man wanted.
