Redmond MOcks War Talk
of Ulster UniOnists' Army

LONDON, Sept, 29-The outlook
has become less hopeful today for
a settlement of the home rule crisis.
John Redmond. Nationalist leader,
who has hitherto refrained from COM
ment on the proposed conference, de-
clared yesterday In vigorous speech
at Cahirciveen, County Kerry, Ire
land, that there will be no confer
ence.
Redmond has been called the die
tator of the home rule cause. What
he says goes.
Home rule is within sight" he
said. land certain of fruition, what
ever Ulster may do. The orders are
full steam ahead for home rule"
Redmond spoke CONTEMPORARY of
Ulster Unionists' mock military
parades and threats of civil war, and
predicted that the year 1914 will see
"a splendid victory for the cause"
The Daily Express telegraphed the
gist of John Redmond's speech to Sir
Edward Carson, who replied as fol-
lows:
Assuming Mr.. Redmonds offer to
be as stated, it merely amounts to
this, that we should accept the bill
subject to the discussion of the de-
tails. That is no offer at all. should
be quite willing to discuss any ques-
ton of the extension of local gov
eminent, private bill legislation or
any measure for the improvement of
the existing government in Ireland,
provided ireland retains her position
under the imperial parliament and
Is governed by an executive who will
be responsible to it,"

ANOTHER VICTIM
OF AUTO WRECK
Mrs. Martha Pierce Succumbs
After Accident Fatal to
Son-in-LaW.

PATERSON, Sept. GAS the re-
suit of injuries received. Saturday
night When a Susquehanna railroad
rain smashed into an automobile in
which she was riding, killing her SON.
1n-law, Juregn P. Lange, and serious
ly injuring his son, Joseph Lange,
Mrs. Matha Pierce, of Passaic, died
at a. m. today in the Paterson Cen
eral Hospital. The accident hap
pened at the East Twenty-seventh
street crossing.
From the time that Mrs. Pierce was
brought to the hospital she never re-
gained consciousness.
Today County Physician Robert
Armstrong is in conference with
County Prosecutor Michael Dunn. 1t
is likely the facts in the case will be
presented to the grand fury by Mr..
Dunn, who will ask that the railroad
authorities be indicted. Mr.. Arm
strong will hold an inquest into the
deaths.
There are several things about the
accident that the police and de-
tectives from the Paterson police
headquarters are not able to clear up.
One is why the crossing bell was not
sounded to give occupants of the de-
molished car warning of the approach
of the drill engine. Occupants of the
car maintain that the bell did not
sound when the engine approached,
and their contention that the crossing
signal was out of order seems to have
been upheld by the fact that when a
west-bound train approached a short
time later. and was held up because
of the accident. the crossing bell was
mute.
Mr.. Lange died a short time after
being struck. His son, Rev. Father
LanSe, with his brother, Edward @.
LANCE. who were preceding the Chal-
mers in a Ford runabout, rushed to
his aid, and the clergyman gave the
last rites of the church to his dying
father.
Mrs. Pierce was pinned under the
wreckage, and 1t was necessary to
use a crowbar to extricate her.
Joseph LANCE, the driver Of the Chal-
mers car, was struck so hard that his
head was wedged into the coupling of
the engine.
So completely was the automobile
wrecked that it was impossible to
pick up all the pieces. When night
closed down thieves started in their
ghoulish work, stripping the wrecked
machine of its appointments, carry
ing away inner tubes, lamps and even
trying to make away with a valuable
magnetic.

What's the reason for all this row
in Ireland?
One hundred years ago they were
hanging men for wearing the green,
SO the old song ran, because they
wanted to rule themselves.
Now the wearers of the orange are
reported to be raising five million dol
lar defense funds, drilling an army

What can all this mean?
Ireland, ruled by the English, gave
the world a strange spectacle of a
nation of S,000,0O0 people dwindling to
a little more than 100000 during the
course of a century that spelled prog

they are looked up, with the aid of a
concordance:

How old was Methuselah when he

Idea for Cotton Wedding.

The first year of welded life brings
the cotton" celebration and the occa-
sion may be made regular frolic If
only a congenial few are hidden to
make merry. Make the invitation spool
shape, good sixed one. Then deco
rate with cotton batting sifted over
with diamond dust; mass it on the
window stills, mantel, on the piano and
everywhere that it will be effective.
The host may wear a cotton suit for
this occasion and 1t will be easy for
the hostess to wear q cotton gown. II
a suit cannot be managed for the
bridegroom, he can wear cotton shirt
and necktie. Perhaps it will be pos
sible to get real cotton plants with
the bursting cotton pods which may be
used in lieu of flowers. Here is a
laughable stunt with which to start
the evenings fun. Have narrow white
cotton tape arranged as for an old
fashioned spider web wind 1t in and
out, over and under furniture, but in
stead of having all the guests play at
once ask one person at time and al
tape he can entangle and roll up in
that time. WheA the umpire calls,
"Time's up" the piece of tape is cut
off, and after all have had a chance.
each piece of tape is measured and the
one having the longest piece is award
ed prize, which should be of cotton
| fabric. In the instance where this was
done the reward was cotton batting
doll candy box filled with candy. We
have all seen the cotton Santa Claus
figures and the little doll Christmas
tree ornaments? Well, these would be
just the thing for favors at an affair Of
this kind
Another pastime would be to pass a
basket filled with different colors and
lengths of cotton tape with knots tied
In them and the trick is to see who
can unite the greatest number of knots
In the time set A prize may be Of
fered for this. In the south little bales
OF cotton may be obtained, which
would be appropriate souvenirs fol
this celebration.

But when the tide is in their homes

deserving them, however, the spiders
solve the difficulty by means of close

stretch over the entrances, behind
which they manage to retain sufficient
air to keep them alive during the time

BLOW IN The DARK
How Strange Trick Of Fortune
Offered Avenue Of Escape
for Murderer.
BY JOHN 3. ADAMS.

Mrs. Edith Durham bowed slightly
to the gentleman who took his seat
beside her at her table aboard the
transatlantic steamship. The card
upon his plate read "Mr. Durham"
and evidently the steward had mis-
taken him for her husband. She
smiled little at this, because her hus-
band was not accompanying her to
New York. They had purchased
tickets, but an unforeseen accident
had prevented him from accompanying
her. Her interest in the stranger who
SO calmly usurped John Durham's seat
was therefore awakened.
Their conversation was of the usual
polite, fragmentary order common to
ocean travellers at their first meal. The
second meal, next morning, found
them almost alone at the table, for
stiff gale had kept the others below
This time they discovered mutual
friends and interests in London.
They paced the deck together. and
1t was in the late afternoon when
Edith Durham turned suddenly upon
her companion.
Does 1t strike you as ordinary"
she asked, that you have not told me
your manner"
my manner" inquired the man, taken
aback. MY name is-James Rich
mond."
II asked" said the woman coldly,
'because fancy most people in tho
first cabin believe that you are my hus-
band And" she continued, lit seems
to me that you have done nothing to
dispel that belief. You have not only
taken Mr.. Durhams seat, but you have
kept at my side in an ostentatious
manner"
"Mr. Durham is not aboard this
ship" replied the other quietly.
And pray how do you know that?''
she demanded.
Richmond looked at her keenly. De
spite the severity of her tones there

as delicate as the stuff that dreams
are made of, had an irresistible appeal

intrinsic charm won immediate popu-

the days of mounting mercury at hand
this diaphanous quality is to be the
supreme touch of elegance of the sea-
