Scotch Presbyterians Stubborn.


The planters" who came over from Scot
land brought with them their morals
and their religion. and most of them were
Presbyterians. In 1887 the surveyor gen.
eral of the Ulster plantations reported
to the king that there were forty Scots
to one English. and fifteen Presbyterians
to one of all the other sects combined. And
the Presbyterians have ever since been
the leading religious body in the north Of
Ireland. bearing today the same pro-
portion in numbers as the Roman Catho-
lies in the rest of the island. They are
stern, stolid. intolerant race. stubborn
of opinion. persistent of purpose. and
never doubtful of their own rectitude.
When William, Prince of Orange. in
vaded ireland in 1889, after James III
abdicated his throne and fed from Eng
land. he landed at the little town of
Carrickfergus. about six miles below Bel
fast, where he was received with great
rejoicing Here he unfurled his flag
and displayed his motto. THE Protestant
Religion and the Liberties of England l
Will Maintain" and the people of Bel
fast have endeavored to assist him to
maintain them ever since. The term
"Orangeman' has ever since been ap-
piled to organizations of Protestants of a
political character and they have re-
ceived more or less support from the
church. Most of them are semi-benevO-
lent, like the Hibernian societies among
the Catholic population of southern Ire
land, and they are found in every town
and village in the province of Ulster.
There are Orange Halls in every parish
of Belfast and the surrounding country.
They embrace in their membership rep
resentatives of all the Protestant de-
nominations. the Church of Ireland and
the Methodists as well as the Presbyte-
rians. but the latter are most numerous.
and in some districts you will find none
but Presbyterians.

To Build Tunnel Under the Sea.
Belfast has no relation to the rest of
Ireland. 1t is a Scottish town. and most
of the people are of Scotch ancestry-all
EXCEPT the lowest class of labor, which
has drifted in from the neighboring coun-
ties. The city lies at the head of a bay
or Tough, as they call it here. nine miles
long The headlands at the mouth OF
the bay are only eighteen miles from
the shores of Scotland, which may De
seen very plainly on clear morning.
The shortest distance between Ireland
and Scotland is only twelve and three

hours to Glasgow. There are steamers
several times a day-in the morning. aft

of the business, as we'll as the SYM
nathies of the people, is with the Scots.
Since the tunnel under the Hudson river
has been completed between New York
and Hoboken. the plan for an Under sea

rick has been revived. The engineers

Race and Religious Riots.
The racial. religious and political an
tagonisms between the north and south
of Ireland are we'll known and can never
be removed Three-fourths of the popu-
lation in this section oil the island are
Protestants-mostly Calvinists of the
sternest kind-and portraits of John Knox
and Oliver Cromwell hang on the walls of
the houses rather than those of the popes.

but of recent years there have been very
few collisions. Formerly the Roman
Catholics used to lie in wait at certain
bridge tc attack the procession of Orange
societies as it passed over. with shillelaghs
and stones. The Orangemen. who are
mostly mechanics from the shipyards and
machine shops, always armed themselves
with iron bolts and nuts for the fray. and
missiles flew freely. leaving many I'M
conscious and sometimes dead men on the
ground. And on other holidays, when
ever the representatives of either reli-
gious faith came out in force. the other
usually attempted to interfere with them.
But those days have passed. Inc rival
religiOnists glare and taunt each other
now, but do not strike.
Catholic Bitterness Not Blamable.
One cannot blame the Roman Catholics
for their bitterness. In the middle of
the sixteenth century, in consequence of
the rebellion of the Earls of Tyrone and
TyrcOnneil the heads of the great clans
of O'Nein and ODonneIl, against the au-
thority of Queen Elizabeth, all of the ter
ritory belonging to them and their follow
ers was contiscated by the crown and sold
to Protestants, chiefly from Scotland. just
as the southern counties were distributed
among the 'undertakers" from England;
but with a difference. The 'undertakers"

Belfast a Manufacturing Center.


Belfast is the center of a great manu-
featuring district. Each factory is sur
rounded by groups of neat two-stoX
brick cottages. with gardens. churches
schoolhOuses and shops which are very
different from the rest of Ireland and are
similar to those in the suburbs OF Paila-
delphia. Belfast ranks high among the
manufacturing cities Of the world. IT Is
proud Of the title Of the Chicago of Ire
land" The people are as boastful Of
their progress. their wealth and their
prosperity as those OF its namesake. But
for the strong accent one might imagine
himself in Kansas City, Seattle or Los
Angeles, because of their civic pride
Every man you meet tells you that a
hundred years ago Belfast had only 49,
600 population, while today 1t has nearly
four hundred thousand; that its wealth
has doubled six times in the last twenty
five years: that it has the largest ship
yards the largest tobacco factory, the
largest spinning mills and the largest
ropewalk in the. world. When they take
you up on the side of high mountain
out on both sides of the River Lagan
they defy you to count the chimneys and
the church spires, which are as numerous
as the domes Of Moscow. Although trade
is very dull just now and the manufac-
turers and merchants have had a hard
CURED a year ago and the financial de-
preston in the United States. Belfast Is
still the most prosperous place in Ire
land and an example of matchless con-
centration of power industry and ability.
Basis for Belfast Boosting.
The people have good ground for, their
vanity, and while their claims re some
what exaggerated, few cities have so
much to boast of. One of the two ship
yards has produced more than 400 ocean
steamers; another built the first turbine
that ever fioated on the ocean, and to-
gether they employ $1,000 hands. The
machine shops Of Belfast are also ia
nous. They provide spinning and weav-
ing machines for all the liLen mills in the
world and ship them even to the United
States The engines. boilers and other
machinery turned out from the shops Of
Belfast are exported to every corner OF
the world. The product o. the linen fac
tories trade alone now amounts to more
than SIC. COCOON a year. The largest mill
covers five acres. with 10000 spindles
1000 looms and employs more than 1900
hands. A single tobacco firm pays $4,OO0.-
600 in taxes every year and distillery
has an annual output of $7.5OO.OOO.
Belfast has sixteen factories for the
production of ginger ale, lemonade, soda
and other aerated waters, which are Ia

Examined by Pension Officials.

Medic-i examiners in the service of the
persion office visited Early at his camp on
the Eastern branch yesterday and ex-
amined him relative to the pension from
the United States government he applied
for some time ago, and which was re-
sponsible for his presence in this city
when it developed that he was afflicted
with leprosy. The doctors did not handle
him. Their examination consisted only In
an observation
The leper submitted to the examination
without word. He is anxious to get the
pension. knowing what 1t will mean to LAS
troubled wife and infant child. When the
examiners announced their conclusion
Early smiled and said he was glad ii was
over and that the government has inter-
estei in his cause.
Il am entitled to a pension" the unfor-
tunate man said. 'and l trust 1t will not
be long in coming
denied that the department was opposed
to the examination, was stated by
some one connected with the pension
Office.
Wife and Baby Visit Him.
Mrs Early, the leper's frail little wife,
who is staying at the Salvation Army
headquarters on Pennsylvania avenue.
visited her husband yesterday on two &C.
casions. On one of them she took the
child. and the husband was overjoyed at
the sight. She visited him again today.
and. as usual, occupied her seat beneath
two sycamore trees. short distance
from her husbands tent. He stands a
distance of about twenty-five feet when
talking to her.
DIR. Fowler said today that he has re-
ceived half a dozen offers from persons in
different parts of the country TO act as
volunteer nurses for the leper. None of
these offers has come from Washing
tonians. One of the offers Is from Philip
c. Cosman of New York. He says he has
been around leprosy and has no fear OF
contagion.
