DUBLIN, oct. Especial to the Bee)->
The Catholic hierarchy has taken stand
on the subject of an aggressive pugilsm
and anything approaching It. Recently the
archbishop of Dublin made an effort to
prevent the exhibition OF prize fight
pictures in this city. And since then Bishop
Brownrigg of the diocese of Ossory issued
an edict against prize fight in Kilkenny.
He wrote as follows:
81 have been told that our city has been
placarded with sensational announcements
OF q series Of pugilistic fights between
prize boxers to take place in the theater in
Patrick street.
ct am very much shocked and panied al
this attempt to introduce a debasing and
degrading form of amusement for the peo-
pie and l raise my voice in solemn protest
against It and against those who are re-
sponsible for bringing 1t here"
Dead Whale Comes Ashore.
Now here is a real whale story which
comes from Cork:
The inhabitants OF Iickbarrahan, a vii
lage on the coast, experienced surprise on
the discovery, a few morning ago OF a
whale lying dead. wedged between rocks.
| The monster. lOS feet long had evidently
coast monster fish have from time to time
| been driven ashore, but the inhabitants
declare that nothing such as this big whale
| has ever come under their notice. It's
| backbone, right at the center of the body,
was broken and denied In some feet. The
| belief prevails that the fish was struck

Carnegie Gives an Organ.
The Catholics OF Limerick may take a
notion to give Andrew Carnegie, the Ameri-
can philanthropist. the freedom of the city.
The reason is explained in the following DIS
patch from that city:
ut was announced at the various masses
in the Dominican church yesterday that
Andrew Carnegie had promised to pay
one-half the cost of new organ for that
church. Mr.. Carnegie has given 5000 for
a new free library Cor Limerick"
Seals Are Plentiful.
Seals are playing havoc with fish in GER
tain parts OF ireland. For example

sOners attention was called to the destruc-
ton of fish by seals in Carlingwood Tough.
Two species Of fish, companion said, had
almost extlngushed by seals-skate and
and flat ashland other species had also
suffered badly. He had seen as many as
Nifty seals in one spot in the Tough at a

The introduction OF taxicabs in this city
may be followed by violence. The cabmen
and their employees have been organizing
I'm opposition to the impending introduce
ton OF the ubiquitous taxicab.
In the meantime number of jarvies are
receiving lessons in the driving of a motor
propelled vehicle I'm the Phoenix park
Government Ownership.
The agitation in favor of government
ownership and control OF the steam rail
roads is spreading. Since my last letter
there have been meeting in half a dozen
business centers. At a meeting held at
Omagh recently the chairman said that II
the recommendation were carried out it
would be at the public expense, and which
the public might for a time, grumbIe
against. but II carried out they would have
lower railway rates and Irish industry
would be encouraged. 1t has been proved
before the commissioners that the present
railway charges were excessive, and that
! preferential rates we're given to other coun-
tries 1t was as cheap to send goods from
England or America to ireland as it was
to send goods from Derry to Cork In
Belgium the people We're able to travel at
half what the Irish people had to pay.
