THE ENEMY IN A WILD FURY.

The English Tory enemies of Home
Rule OF Ireland are in a condition OF
mind quite terrible over the com
handing position occupied by John
Redmond in the British political sit
uation and over the acknowledged GER
tainty of the coming triumph of the
Irish leader and the Irihs GAUGE. Here
is how one of them fumes and RACES
over the matter in an article in the
Daily Telegraph" (London), a paper
as deadly hostile to everything in the
direction of Irish Nationality as the
London Times:
A conflict. as far transcending the
budget struggle as that surpassed or
binary crises. is about to confront
Englishmen, with an object lesson
which Will give the Unionist party
the finest fighting cry it has known
since it was founded. Mr.. Redmond.

ties. Tell it in the boroughs. Rub

MILITARY DUTY.
TO Be E,Xacted of Priests Under Il
Proposed Spanish Law.

recent cablegram from Madrid
says that the new project of obligatory
military service now under discus
sion in the Senate threatens furthe:
to complicate the relations between
the Spanish government and the Vati-
can. as it does not exempt either the
secular or the monastic clergy
The bishop of Madrid, voicing the
Catholic protest, which characterizes
the bill as the most anti-clerical fea-
ture of the ministerial program de-
clared that it violated the canonical
law authorizing ecclesiastical immun-
ity, and was especially offensive in
that it would deplete the ranks of the
clergy.
The measure also arouses a storm
of protest in a section of the press on
The ground that instead of abolishing
the abuses of the old regime, under
which substitutes could be purchased,

rising in Catalonia last year. it offers

ice by the payment of an indemnity.

POWDER AND GUNS.

There is abundant evidence that the
origin of gunpowder and artillery
goes far back in the dim ages of the
past.
The Hindoo code, compiled long be-
fore the Christian era, prohibited the
making of any kind of firearms
Quintus Curtius informs us that Alex
ander the Great met with weapons
in Asia, and Philotratus says that
AleXander's cOnQuests were arrested
by the use of gunpowder. 1t is also
written that those wise men who lived
in the cities of the Gauges "overthrew
their enemies with tempests and
thunderbolts shot from the walls" Jul
Illus Africanus mentions shooting pow
der in the year 275. 1t was used in the
siege of ConstantinOple in 66S, by the
Arabs in ego, at Thessalonica in 904,
at the siege of Belgrade in 1913, by
the Greeks in naval battle in zoos, by
the Arabs against the Iberians in 1147
and at Toulouse in 1918.
1t appears to have been generally
known throughout civilized Europe as
early as 1900, and soon thereafter it
made its way into England, where it
was manufactured during the reign
of Elizabeth, and we learn that a
few arms We're possessed by the Eng
fish in 1910 and that they were used
at the battle of Crecy in 1916

means of stopping panic which
might have had the most disastrous
results. While his band was playing
before 1900 people in St Louis the
electric lights in the hall went out
suddenly. People began TO move I'M

began to make rush for the doors
Coolly tappoing with his baton, Sousa
gave a signal, and Immediately his
band began playing "Oh, Dear, What
Can the Matter Be-" A tiny ripple of
laughter that went round the aud
fence showed that confidence had been
partially restored When the band
began to play wait Till the Clouds
Roll By the laughter deepened into
roar of merriment that ended only
when the lights were turned on again.
