BROUGHT INTO COURT
By PAUL LAMBETH

London, July 15-(Speclal) )-The Orange men of Liverpool are chafng under res- oluton which they adopted on the termi- nation of the home office inquiry into the sectarian disorders in the city. They then agreed to limit their street processions to four in each year. They had been hay ing 12 The restriction has had beneficial results but recently a spirit of aggres- siveness had manifested itself in the Orange ranks. and several collisions have occurred This danger to the public peace will now be increased. for at a meeting of Orangemen recently held at Everton it was decided to rescind the resolution which restricted the number of Orange parades.
 Men who claim power to work new won- ders live at Maidstone. and fame has been thrust upon them by the proceed ings at an inquest held into the death of Mrs. Vim of Earning Mrs. Winn, who died from heart failure, had con- suited a so-called scientist named Grant. Grant. called as witness, described him. self as a human X-ray. He had been practicing about nine months, he said and could not exactly explain his treatment. He simply held his hand over a patient.
 He went on to say: T can cure any disease anyone likes to put before me. The scientific cure is hidden to the public, but not to me- Do you get many pa> tients? About 100 a day; never less than 30; and have had as many as BOO" Fur ther questioned, Grant said he never charged poor patients. Ills practice was for every disease, but blindness, con ! +4s.,. particularly looked after. In consump- tion If he took it at a certain state. he could cure a case. He had grown a com plete new eye and lung, and had cured seven distinct cases of total blindness. juror: 'Tf you can grow a new lung, should think you' can grow a new heart?" Witness: T can If 1t is nec- essary." You rely upon X-Ray more than anything else don't your" No" he said: 'I have a power of smelling a dis ease directly the patient comes into my consulting room" A verdict of death from natural causes' was returned.
 I have no desire to be critic over any of the arrangements made for the coro- nation, but two things in particular have struck me as scarcely becoming the dig nity of the occasion and have caused com ment amongst foreign visitors.
 Surely, with the huge area at the dis posal of the authorities for the provision of seats for spectators, 1t might have been arranged that grand old Westmin- ster Abbey was left untouched and free from the attentions of the carpenter and the seat speculator.
 But the visitor wns invited to box of fee at the base of a hdeous woodwork construction and is told that he can have | such and such a seat for so much money A disappointed lady from Australia said to the booking clerk:
 Cant see the abbey; mean the real abbey. That's what we want to carry back with us, the memory of the old grey building. I've seen lots of better stands than this in Sydney"
 | The clerk answered: "Oh, if you wan, | to see the abbey-come back in six months. thought you wanted to see the coronation"
 | Those who visit England once in their lives cannot carry away with them real | idea of the coronation ceremony who are confronted only by a gaily decorated stand, bands of music and uniforms Those concomitants can be obtained at any well conducted circus, and at far less expense.
 Tho Standard says: "Gentlemen, the | men at every kind of dinner of a public nature in this country It is different at Irish nationalist gatherings of a public or semi-public kind. A dinner was given to the Colonial Premers in the house O. commons by the Irish nationalists, ay which, in addition to the. premiers and | large number of Irish members Mir. liar court Ghe secretary of state for the col onies), Winston Churchill (home secreta- ry), and Colonel Seely (under-secretary of state of war) were present John Red mond announced after the meal that there would be no toasts nor speeches. ''This," he said, Ifs in accordance with the usage of our party, and will be appreciated by our guests" Then followed a few words | in which the nationalist leader thanked the colonies for giving home to so many | thousands of his race. As the company separated Thomas Condon. M P, sang
 God Save Ireland which was chorused with great enthusiasm. It has struck some tory critics as strange that it did not suggest itself to any one at the meet ing, which was attended by three minis ters of the crown, to sing God Save the King"
 Our Dumb Friends league has sent broadcast a circular deprecating the prac- tice of allowing children in the towns and villages to witness the killing of animals in slaughterhouses.
 It Is contended that the sight of killing tends to brutalze children.
 War on wasps is being waged by school children of Warden. Over 1900 queen wasps have been killed by the children who are paid by the Warden Fruit Crow CTS association at the rate of 1 penny | for each wasp. The wasps are accepted by the school master as deposits in the school bank, the value being placed to the credit of the child depositors
 In applying at Marlborough street po- lice court for a reduction of bail in the case of valet named John Goodliffe committed for trial for wounding William Kent of Livona street, A. R. M Sampel said the accused was a man of good character. and was, in fact, the only
 Englishman who accompanied pr. Cook
 to the pole"
 The magistrate said no man had yet reached the pole and it did not add to
 any mans reputation to say he had been
 at or even near the pole, so he increa sed
 the ball.
 Keir Hardie, M. P, speaking at Derby
 recently, contrasted the women's proces

 be no representative of Christianity, art

 the glorifcation of war. The coronation | Iprocaaein0 wi md cbau ot
