Good Landlords in Ireland.
There are good landlords in Ireland
many Of them: and it is not true IN

Unfortunately, there have been some
conspicuous cases of that kind. Several

ness. lowered their rents and made gem

OPIUM USED IN AMERICA
GREAT INCREASE IN THE I'M.
PORTATION OF THE DRUG.
Some of the Facts Developed by the
Recent Investigations Of DR..
Hamilton Wright.

Preparatory to his trip to China to at
tend the coming meeting Of the interna-
tional commission which Is to make a
study and investigation Of the opium traf
flc. DR.. Hamilton Wright, one of the
American commissioners, has been max
ing an inquiry in various cities of the
United States and obtaining Information
from official sources as to the importation
and use of the drug in this country. DIR.
Wright Is anxious to be prepared to tell
the commission what the conditions are
here and he expects the other nations to
do the same.
The imports of crude opium from 1903
to 1907 were one million pounds more than
in the preceding five years. Seventy-five
per cent Of the Imports were manufac-
tured into morphine and 80 to 80 per cent
of that amount was illegitimately used.
The amount of smoking opium imported
in 1873 was $1,000 pounds and In 1907 1t
was 161 600 pounds Notwithstanding there
was a larger Chinese population in the
former than in the latter period and that
increased restrictions have been imposed
against lis Importation.
DIR. Wright says that there is evident
desire among manufacturers of the drug
that many of the Chinese are anxious to
have the practice of 1t by their country
men discontinued.
Estimates have been made regarding the
use of. the drug in various cities. For in
stance in New York city 1t is believed
about one-third Of the Cinnamon there,
about GOO in number. are confirmed smok-
ers One estimate puts it at so per cent.
while a great number of Chinese smoke
it to a less degree. Figures furnished to
Dr. Wright also indicate that there are
probably 5000 white persons in New
York city who are opium smokers
In Philadelphia 1t Is estimated that
there are about 300 Cinnamon who are
confirmed opium smokers.
The commission meets in Shanghai the
first of January next.

Sir Richard Cox. a high authority Of
that time, writes thus: The noble Earl
of Cork. lord lieutenant of Ireland, was
one of the most extraordinary persons
either that or any other age hath pro-
duced. with respect to the great and just
acquisition Of estate that he made, and
the public works that he began and fin
ished. for the advancement of English in
terests and the Protestant religion in Ire
land. as churches. almshouses free
schools, bridges. castles and towns. In
somuch that when Cromwell saw all these
prodigious improvements. which he little
expected to find in Ireland, he declared
that If there had been an Earl Of Cork
in every province 1t would have been i'm
possible for the Irish to raise a rebellion.
His motto, Gods Providence is my In
heritance, shows from whence he derived
all his blessings, the greatest of which
was the numerous and noble posterity he
had to leave his estates unto
The present Earl of Cork was the larg-
est landholder in this section except the
Duke of Devonshire. but he has sold most
of his estate under the provisions of the
Wyndham land act of 1903. The Devon
shire estate Is still intact. and, as the late
duke had no sons. it was inherited by Vic

Queen Victoria's Aid-de-Camp.
The late Earl of Cork Richmond Ed
Id " TeIlCe bOyle, was an afd-de-

had a warm friendship He was devoted
to her all his life and was her master of
horse and master OF buck hounds for
many years. He married. in 1853. a sister
of the present Earl OF Clanricarde, who Ia
fighting the Wyndham land act so bit
terly. His eldest son and heir. the late
Viscount Dungarvin, was born in 1861
served in the army for several years and
commanded the 22d Battalion of Yeo-
many against the Beers in South Africa
The second son of the late earl born in
1864, Robert John Lascelle. married jose
phine Hale. daughter of ]. P Hale of
San Francisco. and the son of this Ameri-
can girl is the heir presumptive of the
great Cork estate.
One sister of the present earl married
Francis Henry Barring of the famous Lon
don banking house and another married

unionist party in parliament. He repre-

Famous Cork Family.

Riding House is near the town of Lis
more. On the principle that TO him that
hath shall be given, it was inherited by
the Duke of Devonshire In 1913 through
his wife Charlotte, daughter of Richard
BOYLE, fourth Earl OF Cork. who was
munificent patron of literature and the
arts and the friend of Pope, the poet.
The Cork family is one of the most Ia
nous in the history of Ireland, although
not one of the oldest. The first earl lived
on Cork Hill. where the castle at Dublin
stands. He was native of Hereford
county. England. and was born in 1866.
He studied law at the Middle Temple,
London and was called to the bar, but,
having no clients, he embarked for Ire
land as an adventurer. After a while he
obtained the favor and protection of
Queen Elizabeth which enabled him TO
amass considerable wealth and won him
his title. His brother Michael, who went
to Ireland with him, became Bishop of
Archbishop of Tuam. and his son, Mi
chaei. became Archbishop of Armagh.
Cromwell's Lord Lieutenant.
The second Earl of Cork was distin-
