 A bogus nobleman calling himself Lord Clifford Is having fun with the natives. Among his doings recently was to visit Lord Dunsanys residence, where he rep resented himself as Lord Clifford" This piece of news made Lord Dunsany's ser wants exert themselves to ensure the comfort of so distinguished a visitor and the next step was that a sum of e2 was advanced by a Mir. Reid. This was, ot course. only intended to help the august visitor over the evening and until such time as he could get back to this city. The next step was the bringing round of Lord Dunsany's motor ear into which the distinguished visitor got and was soon deposited at Phoenix Park. He alighted there, stating that he would take car to the Kildare street club.
 At Dundrum Criminal Lunatic asylum, an inmate named Oliver Corin attacked another old man named John Fitzsimon, killing him. At the inquest Corin said that he killed Fitzsimmon because he was tired of looking at him. The jury exon erated the officials from blame, but add ed that the staff of attendants was insuf- fjcient The coroner said the attendants worked 16 hours day, and the jury add ed the opinion that these hours were ex- oessive.
 John Redmond Is confident of home rule at once. Writing to Br. Muldoon M. P, he says. So far as the people of Great Britain are concerned, I fear no rock ahead. have been closely in touch with British public opinion and am con- vinced that home rule for Ireland has at it's back the good will of the over whelnning majority of the British people By home rule do not mean any coward ly or grudging measure. but bold meas ure of self government, which will give the Irish people control of their own pure ly local affairs.
