Everybody likes Cork. It's a cheerful

streets more attractive than in Dublin.
The shops are large and the show wjn

principal thoroughfare, one may find
windows full of most appetizing buns and
cakes and ether things to cat But the

and o'clock. most of the shops are
still closed tie doors are locked and the
shutters arc N. None of the retail mer-
chants expects customers until after 3
O'Clock, and tfen they open very slowly.
The markets do not commence business
until o'clock, and wholesale dealers and
their clerks do not get down until 10
O'Clock. A gentleman of whom / inquired
a bout this indolent custom declared that it
was as ancient as the ruins of Fin Barre
Abbey but. he declared. although they
lay abed late in the morning the bust

they once get started.

Cork is a city of churches. and some
of them are modern, which is novelty.

to confer with the rest of the hierarchy
concerning the proper attitude for the
church to take toward the bill now pend

two new universities in Ireland. The
bishops secretary. however, received me
with great courtesy Speaking of the
struggle over theuniversty bill he re-
marked it was a good thing for the Irish
to have something to fight about or they
might be fighting among themselves.

The Protestant Cathedral.

The Protestant Cathedral is fine mod
ern building with a lofty central tower
and four smaller towers of the same de-
sign surrounding it. 1t was finished only
a few years ago and cost half a million
dollars, most Of the money being derived
from legacies. 1t stands on the site of an
ancient church built by st. Fin Barre. The
grounds are large and beautifully shaded,
with here and there tomb OF some dls-
tineuished man. The service and the sing
ing are quite impressive and We heard the
hest choir we have found in Ireland.

St. Anne's on Shandon Street.

H..

which every tourist must visit, is st.

Shandon street. 1t was built in 1872 and
is remarkable for an extraordinary look
ing tower 1o0 feet high, faced on two sides
with red stone and on the other sides with
white stone. 1t is exceedingly ugly. but
the people of Cork are very much attached
to it and particularly to the chime of eight
bells which hang, in the tower and have
been immortaliZed in simple little poem
by Father Prout,' who was the Rev
Francis Mahoney, and is buried in the
churchyard in the tomb of his ancestors.

who was most prolific with his produc-
tions. He wrote odes to almost every
thing in Ireland--plain. simple. homely
lines. but full of sentiment and the true
poetic spirit. The common people admire
them above all other literary works except
the ballads of Tom Moore. and indeed
Father Prout's verses rank with Moore's
melodies in popularity. He also published
and anecdotes illustrating the thoughts
and the habits of his fellow countrymen:
and occasionally political satire which
involved him in a controversy with his
bishop or some pOlltlcdl ledueI.

Tie UphuiIdinx Of EIoys.

That our city is making a rapid and
steady growth is shown by a ride
around town. We gave our reporter
an auto ride through our streets this
week and he noted over'fiftv new build
ings being erected or additions being
made to present residences. and out of
this number only three were being put
up to rent, and the rest of them for
use of the owners. This is surely fine
and shows prosperity, and yet we
could add twenty more families if we
had that many houses put up for rent
A canvass also shows twenty-seven
families have moved to our town the
past two years. to school their children
and seventeen of them have bought
residences. This, adeed to our new
mill and business buildings, is surely
pleasing to our citizens.

Robertson Kieks Baek.

The Plainville Gazette is very rank
Republican. but its editor lately attend
ed democratic meeting and has this
pointed article in its late issue:
You missed a mighty good thing by
not attending TIE democratic meeting
Monday night The writer is repub-
lican all right, but if there is one thing
he appreciates more than another it is
the ability of one man to stand up In
his own defense when he feels that his
reputation and manhood has been un-
justly attacked bv another The Ga
zette as republican organ does not
accent urquestioned the truthfulness of
Mr.. Robertson's statement, but if he
didn't do a scientific and gentlemanly
job of skinning for the republican cam
didate, Mr.. Wells. then we have never
heard one. Mr.. Robertson's statement
corroborated by afidavits and referen-
ces to the court records, given simply
and earnestly left the impression of
absolute truthfulness. Candidly we
ehink it is up to Mr.. Wells Robert
sons showing up the authorities quoted
by Mr.. Wells, if true, leaves Mr.. Wells
without foundation for single charge
made. If Wells has made these charg-
es on no more reliable authority than
that shown by Robertson then Mr..
Robertson certainly has Wells in a
hole. Robertson was loaded to the
muzzle with documents proving that
the parties makir g the affidavits against
him were disreputable or of unsavory
reputation, that the affidavits were
false, and that his connection with the
different land cases cited was purely
as an attorney representing the parties
interested. He read statement signed
by the county clerk and county treasur-
er of Rawlins county, one a democrat
and one republican, exhonorating him
from any personal connection with the
land cases cited in the affidavits pub
lished in the Hill City Republican. 1t
is the opinion of the Gazette as a re-
publican paper that it is up to Candi-
date Wells to furnish better proof that
this man Robertson is the scoundrel he
is advertised to be through the Hill
City Republican. Other republicans
who heard the speech will agree with
US.
