thousands of Irishmen fled from their
native land. Some entered the United
States through the port of New York;
thousands came to this city, some to
enter the promised land, but many
thousands of them to die here OF ship
fever In the old cemetery the re-
mains of 5000 of these famine victims
are buried. Until 1859 no monument
was erected to mark their resting
places. Then a band Of lrishmen en-
ployed in the construction of the Vic
toria bridge placed huge boulder In
the cemetery bearing this inscription:

preparation Of the cemetery by the
railroad would be an act of desecra-
ton and their attitude is sustained by
members of the race all over Canada.

editor was lavish in his praise of songs
and singers, remarking, with dlgni-
fed reminder to his readers that 1t
was his business to pass Judgment, not
unmixed with censure, that the plot
was slightly unconvincing.
Of the music, however, he wrote IN
terms of highest communication. And
he closed his article with praise for
the charming entr'actes.

Abolish Bear Traps.

Williamsport sportsmen intend to
circulate petitions to the legislature
looking toward the abolition Of bear
traps. The only persons using traps
are those who hunt bears for mar
ket, and sportsmen are anxious that
the bear be more fully protected
than under the present laws. 1t Is
pointed out by those back of the
movement that the catching Of bears
in traps not only tends to exterminate
the species of game but is a cruel
practice, as the animals frequently
free themselves by leaving parts Of
their legs in the trap.-Philadelphia

St. ErkenWaId.

A church at Southend, England. has
been dedicated to st. Erkenwald-the
only one of its kind in existence. Erik
enwald, who was bishop Of London
from 675 to 500 A. D., was at one time
a very popular saint in his country. 1t
was he who built the first stone cathe-
dral of St. Paul's. He, too, it was who
erected in the eastern portion Of the
city the gate which gave the name to
Bishopsgate. This prelate suffered from
govt during the later years Of his life,
and had to be carried about on litter.
After bis death this litter was careful
ly preserved in Old st. Pauls, where
he was buried, and in course of time
miraculous virtues were attributed to
it. 1t was held to be a sovereign cure
for fever, and fever-stricken pilgrims
from all parts of the country would
flock to the shrine of st. Erkenwald.

OF OFFICE
NEW MINISTERS
Diaz Cabinet, for First Time,
IS Pledged to
Reform.
PRESIDENT NAY RESIGN
Various Reports Give Basis for
Speculation if Not for
Fact.
PRESIDENT

Mexico City. March os.-Standing
before Minister of Finance Lin1antour
and Secretary OF War Cosio. the only
two members of his old cabinet. Presi-
dent Diaz to-day in turn solcmnly adj
tured the four new members of his
official family to uphold the laws and
the constitution.
General Diaz. wearing the tricolor
~diagonally across his breast. stood be-
side Nictoriano Salado Alvarez. sub
secretary of foreign relations, who adj
ministered the oath Of office to the
new ministers, whose moustaches are
yet black and whose hair is but faint
~ touched with gray. For the first
time in his long administration the
President looked on a cabinet pledged
to reform. whose appointment had
come about solely because of the in
sistent demand of the public.
Following the Inauguration. the new
ministers went to their respective de-
~partments, where they assumed their
duties and received the felicitatlons
of friends.
Dinz May Retire.
Significant as has been a creation
of a new cabinet, 1t Is regarded as Of
little interest here compared with the
possibilities involved in the various
reports that are rife. Chief Of these
is that the President will resign.
It is denied, but there is basis for
the speculation, If not for the fact.
What is regarded as certain is that
Ramon Corral. the Vice-President. will
ask for a leave Of absence when Con-
gress convenes next week.
Whether this leave of absence is
later to be followed by his resigna-
ton is not SO DEFINITE, but that 1t will
be. is regarded as likely.
Another interesting phase of the sit
uation that will be presented should
the President resign is the char
acter of his successors election. 1t Is
generally conceded that the Congress
about to assemble will. at the instiga-
ton Of the President, make radical
changes in tho present electoral system:
and If 1t does. the election OF a
Vice President. By popular vote. would
be the first opportunity for the april
cation of the revised laws. Should
the President then decide to retire,
the Vice-President. elected by popular
vote, would for a time at least become
the head Of the nation.
