cieties which control existing model tene-
ments. These societies offer to build the
tenements on land belonging to the city
or purchased by it. The money will be
advanced h. the city. and the municipal
architects will approve the plans of the
buildings. The lands will be let to the
societies for term Of seventy-five years,
and the money advanced will be for a
similar period The societies will pay the
city a fixed rate of interest. There will
be sinking fund, SO that by the end
of the lease the city will have nothing to
disburse.
1t is felt that the interest, having re-
gard to the rents to be paid by the ten
ants. must not exceed 3 per cent. After
paying this interest, rates and taxes, and
all other charges on the property, the bal
ance will not be retained by the societies
but will be placed to q reserve account
of which the city will get two-thirds al
the expiration Of the lease. The societies
are disposed to accept the financial con-
troll of the buildings, but they claim full
liberty of management.

Although every part of Sussex is with

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
LONDON May 4.-Now that the union
lists have said the very worst they could
against the home rule bill Of the govern
ment, very few unbiased people deny
that 1t is by far the best measure ever
suggested for bringing about friendly
understanding between England and Ire
land. giving, as it does the imperial par
lament power to work and thrive, and
the Irish state a chance to live.
Naturally, the PrOtestants in Ireland
have been opposed to home rule, fearing
the influence of the Catholic Church, but
] have it on the very best authority
that very large Protestant section in
Ulster, having carefully studied the
present bill. will soon openly declare in
its favor in spite of the desperate efforts
of Sir Edward Carson to prevent them
The excitement In Belfast indeed has
to very large extent been artificial
1t washoped that the Bonar law meeting
would stir up passions to last for many
months. but the result has been a very
sad failure. Only in the press you still
see the workout phrase. Ulster will not
have home rule The people themselves
are heartily tired Of it 60
From all parts of the country well
known ProtestantS are procaiming their
approval OF the bill. and this fact is
significant Of the growth OF independent
thought since 1893. the year of the last
home rule bill. when many In favor of
liberal sentiment In regard to the Irish
question kept silence in view OF the pre-
vailing intimidation.

Wno deals with about a hundred children
in the course of a week. The success of
the baths here led the council to provide
bath in the neighboring school in Old
Montague street, where the children are
pa thed before lessons.
Subsequently the council went to parlia-

mas now been compelled to make arrange
ments with the borough councils for the
cleansing Of clothing where such is nee
essary. In certain cases, too, very dirty
scholars have to be sent to these To-
cal cleansing stations to be thoroughly
washed. and the ratepayers have to pay
about shilling for each child so made
clean and fit for school attendance.
A new emigration scheme which. when
it becomes firmly established. will merit
the title of emigration de luxe" now is
being arranged by party OF retired army
officers. The scheme is based on the fact
that there are large number of pOten-
tial emigrantS in the British Isles apart
from agricultural laborers, mechanics
and the working classes generally. Dur
ing the emigration boom of the last quar-
ter of a century the object of the various
dominions has been to recruit for the
most part laborers, and the resident farm
ing population has grown prosperous as
the result Of this large and growing in
hux. The new plan will be to- recruit
gentlemen. and the class to which the
scheme is intended to appeal includes re-
tired officers of the army and navy and
civil service.
