ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN DAMASCUS.

The first city to be modernized by the introduction of electricity was the one with the oldest existence known to human history: the city which is as it has been through the ages Damascus, the kaleidoscope of the near Orient, with Arab and Greek Jew and Christian, Moslem and in- fidel, Kurd and Circassian, Turk and Tartar, jostling elbows

NEW YORK, July 25.-Cracksmen dy'
namited two safes in the establishment
of Thomas J. Dunn Company, manufac-
turing jewelers., early today and escaped
with more than $4,000 in loot.
The robbery took place in the heart OF
the business district and was one OF
the most daring and expert the police
have had to deal with in long time
Policemen passed the building at brief
intervals during the early morning. None
OF them heard the explosions. A watch
man discovered the robbery when he
opened the offices
Both doors of the huge three-ton safe
stood wide open, twisted and powder
marked. On the floor lay thirty-foot
rome ladder and a burglars tool kit with
a brace and bit in 1t.
An unlocked scuttle showed that the
robbers entered the building from the
roof. They apparently carried the rope

HOSTILE TO PRIESTS
MOVEMENT IN IRELAND DE-
PLoRED BY LoGUE.
Special Cablegram- to The Star.


DUBLIN. July 25.-Cardinal Logue
visited Kilkenny this week and received
the freedom of the city.
In acknowledging an address of well
come from the corporation, he alluded to
reference which it made to the Irish lam
guage movement. and said he had given
any little help he could to the Gaelic
League from the beginning of the move
ment up to the present. He thought. how
ever. 1t was but honest on his part to
state that with regard to education gen.
erally-primary education-and with re-
gard to the success of the Gaelic League,
he saw breakers ahead
He found that there was a spirit get
lng up among small clique in Ireland
which was hostile to the success of the
scnools and to the success Of the Gaelic
League. This small clique seemed to have
been deeply to1ched with the mania that
mad nearly ruined education in France
and IN consequence like their Noncon-
formist friends in England, they wished
to get the priests outside the schools and
were endeavoring to get up jealousy be-
tween the people and the priests.
He was satisfied that any defect In the
primary education OF the country was not
due to the management of those who had
control of the schools up to the present
He believed that IL the control were put
into different hands. according to the
which he had referred, 1t would be bad
day for Ireland.
Deeply as he was interested In the
Gaelic League he believed that the day
when they succeeded in making It an In
strument to turn any section Of the peo-
pie OF Ireland against the priesthood OF
Ireland would see the end Of the Gaelic
League.

FOR PURE BEER.
British Committee Against Use Of
Preventative.

Special CableSram to Inc star.
LONDON, July 25.-The report of the
select committee on the hop industry
has been presented to the house of COM
mons. Two of the three main demands
of the hop growers have been conceded
by the committee. The report recon-
mends that in future no chemical pre-
servatives or hop substitutes shall be
used in brewing beer. and it also makes
provision with regard to the extension Of
the present marking act to foreign hops
when landed in this country. The ma
jority of the committee decided not to
recommend the duty of 4Os. a cwt. on
foreign hops as demanded by 80 per cent
of the growers. laborers and the allied
trades.
The net result of the legislation recon-
mended will be to secure for the public a
purer beer More hops must necessarily
be used but without the 4Os duty the
advantage goes to the foreign bumper and
not to the English grower. The evidence
of the hop growers and others dependent
on the industry was overwhelmingly in
favor of such duty, but the majority of
the members appointed on the committee
were pledged to free imports The or
ganizers of the great London hop demon
tration of May 10 assert that the agita-
ton will be continued until the funda-
mental demand of duty Is conceded.

The girl said that, she had been the
victim of an unfortunate love affair and
that. Stunned by her friends. she had
become respondent and wanted to die.
