RUMoR ULSTER COMPROMISE.
British Government Will Offer Conces-
sion to 0rangemen, 1t Is Said.

London, Nov. ls--The government has
decided to seek to arrange a compromise
with the opposition leaders in Parlia-

The Times. Premier Asquith, it says,
within a week, will make an offer of a
clause sus2ending the operation of the
bill in Ulster for a definite term of years
and also will propose to place an addi-
tional burden upon British taxpayers in
order TO compensate the Nationalist Of
Ireland for the temporary loss of the
wealth of Ulster. The Times adds that
Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the Union
ist party in the House of Commons. and
his colleagues are ready to consider any
such proposal but are not likely to ac-
cept it while the followers of John Red
mond strongly oppose it.

OTHER MAN AT FAULT
Defence Put Up by Respondents
in Automobile Case.
George Horton and Charles Shepard on
Trial for Negligent Driving, Fol-
lowing IA Recent Collision on
North street.

The aftermath Of a recent automobile
accident at the corner of North and North
Willard streets was heard in city court
Friday by Judge Palmer in a hearing
which took up a part of the morning and
nearly all of the afternoon, George Hor-
ton and Charles shepard, drivers Of both
cars, were tried for negligent driving at
the same time and NJ. G. Leary. who APP
peared for Horton, ana J. ]. EnrlGht, who
appeared for Shepard. each tried to fix
the blame on the others client
The accident happened one Sunday
night Shepard was hurrying n taxlcah
to the MARY Fletcher hospital with the
little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter La
fond, who was on the point of death as
the result Of tetanus II was hoped that
an operation might save her life and for
that reason all speed possible was being
made. Horton was driving south on VII
lard street and the machines came to-
gether. The taxicab was badly damaged
and all the occupants We're Injured, al
though not seriously
The testimony Friday was conflicting.
Ike that in most automobile cases Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Lafond and Miss Emily
lafond, who were in the taXiCab, testified
that Shepard was making fast time but
that he was using all caution possible.
The horn was sounded steadily. So much
so that, as one witness put it the noise
made me nervous" Eye witnesses also
testified that the horn was making a big
noise all the way up North street.
Joseph Lawrepcc and a Mr.. Gassett tes-
titled that Horton was making fast time
down Willard street but Horizons testi-
mony was that he was not going more
than n or IL miles per hour at the cor
ners or more than 10 miles per hour be-
tween corners. When asked why he did
not stop on seeing the approaching ma
chine he said that he misiudGed its speed
until too late Then all he could do was
to go ahead for, had he stopped, the acct
dent would have been much worse, Shep-
ard said that he did not see Horton until
he was within a few feet of him and then
1t was too late to do anything but crash
into him

THE INFLAMIBLE BOARD.
CFrom the Boston Traveler)

COnCcdinE, of course, that the State
board Of health is infalible and that the
slightest criticism of its methods will be
looked upon by friends of the board as
irrevcrent, II is due to the public to say
that certain nonpreiudiced persons who
have listened to evidence given this week
on Beacon Hill to a special committee are
inclined to believe that the state board IS
not exactly felictous in exhibiting its in
falibilty to the committee.
We have been assured on more than
one occasion that any change in the per-
sonncl Of the State board OF health would
probably wreck the commonwealth and
lead to a plague like that which devast-
ated London, but, In spite OF that fact,
there should be at least one member of
the board who would be able, In an emer-
geucy, to convince those seeking informa-
ton that black is white and two plus two
are five.
Thus far no member or representative
of the board who has been called to the
stand has been able to do this.

INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS IN ITALY.

Throughout Italy industries of all kinds
are steadily incrcas sing ana with the per-
petual and striking Improvement in the
financial conditions of the country, the
larger and more important commercial
enterprises flourish accordingly, The lar
ger shops too, which have considerable
capital behind them, are sharing I'm the
general prosperity But side by side with
this prosperity the scale of living is. as
| have already pointed out, daily becom-
ing higher the cost of the necessities OF
life is ever raising, The consequence IS
that the struggle for existence, in all but
the most opulent classes is a hundred
fold more severe than It was even in the
Italy of dozen or fifteen years ago The
immense strides made in the diffusion of
education among classes which until COM
paratively recently were but little cdu-
Gated, and the gradual disappearance Of
illiteracy In the lowest class, has led to
keen competition in every branch OF en-
terprise and employment. The dolce far
niente Italian of the novelists, the poets
and the gudebooks Is an individual now
only to be found among the neer- do wells
Of the community, who exist of course,
In all classes, but in steadily diminish
ing number. The Italian of to-day has
perforce to be both energetic and siren
uous If he means to keep In step with
himself to the cxieences of modern Italian
life,-Rchard Ragot In his book Tho

greatest importance first, that In thia

analysis. In this way only can there be
put before the public, the fellow-woti,ors
