ROASTED BY
IRISH LORDS

London, jan 30-Heated charges of
cowardice in turning the blind eye to
the reign of terrorism" in Ireland in
order to keep the capitalists in good
temper and assure a continuance OF
their support of the commons We're
launched against the government III
the house of lords today. The Mar
uuis of Londonderry, who was yiceroy
of Ireland in 1869, led in the at
tack and so infectious were his sentl-
ments that even Lord Langford, who
has been a representative peer OF
Ireland since 1884, broke his silence
of "a years and devoted his maiden
speech to recital of his personal ex-
perience with cattle driving outside
his own gates.
The Marquis of Londonderry de-
clared that the present state of Ire
land is worse than in the dark days
of the early eighties, when murder
and outrage were rampant, and he at
tributed the conditions entirely to the
cowardice of the government.
Lord Beauchamp, replying in be-
half of the government, complained
of the exaggerated pessimism of the
unionist peers. He admitted that cat
tie driving had increased during the
r, but said that this was the
sole sign of agrarlan Conditions be-
coming worse.

They rushed into the house to find
their father lying in the doorway

the floor. Justice Maben was called

FROM ROAD GANG To THE ARMY
Alter Long Absence Negro Is Recoa
nized and Placed Under Arrest

From the road gang to the army
and back to the road again is the
brief experience of Harvey Pierce,
clored, covering a period of about
ten years. Part of this sentence was
used in a figurative sense. Harvey
did not return to the road from
which he escaped some years ago
The reason is quite plain. When ar
rested late Tuesday afternoon by
Sheriff Forbes and Constable Nc
Calpin he had money enough to IL
fine, and then some.
Fig 1t or ten years ago Harvey
Pierce was convicted in the county
court on a charge of aggravated as
sault. His fine and the trimmings
amount IL 10 $45. Austin McWhirter
was then superintendent of the coun-
ty farm. Pierce was sent to the
county's agricultural institution and
from there transferred to the public
L
$40 worth of his fine he made his
escape from the convict camp. That
was the last heard of Harvey Every
effort possible was made to effect
his recapture but he had disappear
ed as completely as though the earth
had swallowed him. 1t seems that
the strenuous life of soldier had q
strong fascination for Harvey and he
lost no time in enlisting in the reg
ular army. He had been stationed at
various posts in this country and has
seen service in the Philippines. His
regiment is now stationed at post
near New York City. A short time
ago he obtained a furlough to visit
his old home in Waxahachie. He had
not been in the city long before he
was recognized as an escaped con-
vict. Sheriff Forbes was just ready
to start out to effect his arrest last
Saturday morning when the news
came of the assault upon Constable
Conger. Upon his return to Waxaha-
chic Tuesday afternoon he and Con-
stable McCalpin went to the house
where Pierce was stopping to take
him into custody. He was brought

BY years of hard work he manag-
ed to save enough to purchase the
little four-room cottage in which his
beloved wife died and in which he
made his children orphans. When
he had paid for the property and
the prospects were that he would end
his life in long years of comfort his
wife died. The sad event changed
him completely.
For years he was known in Fort
Worth as Chicken John Jones on &C
count of his long engagement in the
poultry business. Hardly a hotel or
restaurant in Fort Worth but had
purchased chickens from Jones
The deceased leaves five children,
the oldest of which was II years old,
and named Sam. The children were
all in the yard when their father
fired the shot that left them without
parents.

On October ], 1907, the Universal
Postal Union which governs the in

the various civilized countries reduc-
ed the rate of letter postage from
five cents a half ounce to five cents
for the first ounce and three cents
