the men did not find them.

the two burglars said: Six hundred

they went back to the strong box.
Having still found nothing more they
took a scarf pin of considerable value
from a table. then said. Now you have

Odell. OF the City of Mexico. at the
Belvedere, 1.-The flesh OF the bulls slain
in the combats with the matadors has
been sold and eaten by an element in
our community that was not overnice
as to the quality of its food. This
condition has always been condemned
by physicians, but now comes the state
board of health and says that the car
casses Of the animals killed in the ring
are unfit for the table and shall no
longer be offered for sale. What the
authorities decree down there goes
and the wretched practice will be dis
continued.
"The incident is not important in
itself, but it goes to show that the
movement for pure food is world wide.
A few years ago there was 70 such
thing as state regulation of food COM

Week-End Gossip
from Dublin
ny TIMOTHY ). O'CONNOR.

Dublin. July 1.-THE General Assem-
bly, OF the Presbyterian Church in Ire
land. which has been sitting in Bel
fast for ten days has concluded It's
deliberations. A debate took place on
report submitted in regard to the
Irish Universities Bill.
Professor Heron said the least they
could do was to protest against the
extraordinary steps taken. not only In
the denominational change, but the
steps taken by the, Commissioners OF
the Queens University, Belfast, in es-
tablishing a chair of lectureship In
scholastic philosophy. This was APP
parently being done to meet a special
demand from the Roman Catholics
who sent a special deputation to the
Commissioners.
Professor Tod Martin said II was
said. and he did not know whether II
was true or not, that pressure had been
brought to bear on Mr.. Birrelll--politi-
cal pressure-and that in consequence
of this he made six appointments
adding four Roman Catholics as such
and two Methodists as such to the
Senate. They had the principle Of de-
nominational representation. and In
that there was unfairness towards de-
nominations that were not so repre-
sented. and there was also imported
to the Belfast University at the very
outset unconditional complexion
which he felt could never be changed
They had no desire to see in the north
of Ireland a reconstructed Royal Uni
versity. t-'
The Rev. j. D. Osborne said the gov.
eminent had given to the north and
south of ireland two Universities
which would be ruled on autonomous
and democratic. lines, and II was I'M
possible to avoid putting persons on
oheir governing bodies without having
some regard to their religious convic-
lions so as to give due representation
to the different sections of the popu-
lation. He thought the four Roman
Catholics and two Methodists had
every right to be appointed, particu'
larly when 1t was remembered tina,
their duties were merely provisional.
The report was adopted.

Two members of a band OF coiners
were arrested the other night thanks
to a Sherlock Holmes shopkeeper In

well dressed woman entered his
premises and made a small purchase
for which she paid with a counterfeit
20 franc piece. The shopkeeper no
ticed that the coin was spurious, but
he affected not to see II. When the
customer left he followed her.
The woman visited a number of
other shops. bought some small article

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
DECLARED A FAILURE

New York, Jan 22.-Woman suf
rage has done more harm than good in
four states in which II has been tried
Utah, Colorado. Idaho and Wyoming
declared Frederick Wood. in an ad-
dress before the National league for
the Civic Education of Women, here
tonight. Mr.. Wood read a letter from
General w. j. Palmer of Colorado, in
which the latter declared that woman
suffrage has been failure in that
state.
"The establishment of Juvenile
court in Colorado, is often pointed out
as one of the benefits of giving women
the ballot" said Mr.. Wood, "but the
twenty-one state which have juvenile
courts. nineteen are states In which
women do not vote and the first state
in which such courts were started was
Massachusetts, where the women de-
clined to take the ballot when It was
offered them,
Based upon my personal observa-
tions OF the workings OF equal suffrage
in the four states where It exists. its
results indicate the ability OF the cor
rupt political machine to influence the
female vote rather than any ability
on the port of women to prrify poll
tics"

Fiddle Church Vane.

One Of the most curious vanes TO be
seen on any church in Great Britain
is at Great Gonerby, parish adjoining
Grantham
1t Is in the form of a fiddle and a
bow and Is unusually large. It's his,
tory is curious. Many years ago a
peasant resided in Great Gonerby who
eked out a modest livelihood by per.
forming on an old violin which was al,
most a part of his life. At last he de-
cided to emigrate, and out in the far
west prospered and became a rich
man.
One day he sent to the clergyman at
Great Gonerby a sum sufficient to
build a church, and attached to the
gift the curious condition that a metal
replica of his old fiddle and bow
should be on the summit of the edifce.
The gift was accepted and the vane
may still be seen on the church
