ERIN'S ANCIENT KINGS.
UntimeIy Death Was the Rule For
Monarchs of Old Ireland,

monarCnS OF Old ireland.
'Tis Ould Oireland can bate them all
begorra, when it comes to talkin' of
kings and Coronations. For there was
probably king of Ireland when Noah
was building his ark. There certainly
was one in 1900 b. c.. To he sure,
though, Ireland's ancient monarchs
mostly came to unhappy ends, either
dying of the plague, being assassinated
or killed in battle. says London An
swers.
For instance, King Lughaidh, who
reigned in the second century, was
killed by being thrust through the eye
with a spear during a conspiracy His
successor, Feargus, was assassinated
by order of the next conner. Cormac-
Clfhada, who, however, was merely
chOked TO death by a fish bone at
supper.
Slain by his successor" indeed, was
the fate of very many Irish kings, but
of Congal CiOnmaghair, who died in
O93, 1t is simply but eloQuently re,
corded that he died suddenly" He
was a 'crueI prosecutor of the Irish
church" In 39S King Dathy was
killed by a 'thunderbolt, while King
Connor died of grief in S37. And one
Of the greatest of them ALL the valiant
Brian BorOihme, was assassinated in
1014 while at prayer after he had de-
feated the Danes at Clontarf.
1t is hardly surprising to learn that
four Of Erin's kings resigned their
crowns to become peaceful, clustered
monks

|, gresS in Brussels.

ROME, February 9.-The meeting of the
Interparliamentary Peace Union, which
is to be held tomorrow at Brussels, is re-
sarded here as highly important, owing
to the decision of the members of the
Italian group not to paprticipate and, in
deed, to sever their connection with the
union if the meeting insists upon discus
Italian government in the conflict with
Turkey.
The Italians wish the peace union to-
morrow to acknowledge that those dele
gates who in one way or another at the
sitting of the union in October, 1911, or
later. entered into a discussion of the
merits of the war between Italy and Tur-
key, exceeded the object Of the union.
Former Instances Cited.
They point out that the union has never
intervened on former occasions, such as
when Russia accused Japan of open hos
tility before the expiration of the ultima
tum, when protests were raised against
England for attacking the Beers, when
an outcry was made over alleged Belgian
cruelties in the Kongo. and when Austria,
Notwithstanding the terms Oc the treaty

groups can its members pronounce judg-
