DUBLIN, July 15.-(Special to The Bee)
THE oft-repeated announcement that
Dublin society had boycotted Lord-Lieu-
tenant and Lady Aberdeen has caused
good deal of annoyance. The fact is thak
society as represented by the landlord
class, the habitues of the Kildare Street
club and military society, are dead against
the government. but to Lord and Lady
Aberdeen no one can feel otherwise than
respectful and grateful. No other pair of
viceroy alties have done more for the
masses or to, improve the condition Of the
poor. ffE@M ~ - t.-
Protestant Honored I'm Wexford.
At the annual meeting of the Wexford
County council. C. H. Peacocke was elected
vice-chairman unanimously.
Mr. Peacocke, a Protestant, in returning
thanks, said the action OF the council
in electing him cut the ground from I'M
derneath the feet of the opponents of
home rule, whose cry about the interests
of religion was more political than sec
tartan. The fact of the council electing
him from amongst the minority gave force
to the present movement in favor of leg
islation for the country, and not only
that. but 1t gave everyone to understand
the generosity of the majority toward the
| minority. 1t gave a stability to the ma
tional movement, and he hoped all would
work together under the leadership of the
Irish party for the sake of the country
Bathtub Thousand Years Old.
Whilst engaged in cutting turf recently
| at Carrawikeen, Sligo, James Cardell
made a remarkable discovery when he
found what is believed to have been a
bathing tub in the bog. The tub is very
large. The most remarkable thing about
1t is. II is all one piece of timber. appar-
emily the trunk OF large tree, which was
carved and followed out with care and
gracefulness. 1t is in a good state of
preservation; although undoubtedly 1t
must have been in the bog for more than
200 years, as the spot where IL was found
is the remains of what was once a very
deep bog, now nearly cut away. At each
end of the tub is a neatly formed handle
and in the bottom a small hole for letting
water escape.
Bribery to Swell Census.
unique effort was made in several
small seaside resorts in Ulster, such as
Bundoran, County Donegal; Whitehead.
County Antrim, and Newcastle, County
Down. to bring the population up to a
figure which would enable these places
to lay claim 20 the provisions OF the
statute constituting an urban district.
Free railroad tickets, free board and Iodg-
ing offered to rural residents were largely
awaited OF and the figures twice in the
census.
Police Are TOuchy.
Since conviction Of a man at Raphoe
sessions for shooting jackdaw, the police
have been annoyed by young men cav
ing after them. To show that 'cawing'
is not to be INDUCED in with impunity,
the district inspector had Andrew Laps
ley and James Kelly before the bench,
when they were cautioned that they must
not annoy the ''peelers" in this manner.
Mr.. Maxwell. solicitor for the defendants
suggested that the police. instead OF
squirming under the annoyance, should
let the ephemeral banter pass with tht
season. The magistrate replied that Il
} was nightly rephensible conduct to cav
at the police.
