OF the Pearson syndicate. operating
extensive concessions in Mexico, was
instrumental In securing the appoint
ment Of Sir Lionel Garden as British
minister to Mexico. But this Lord
Cowdray has recently denied. He also

extent OF having participated to the

Chamber Demands Greater Dublin,
Which Shall Make Dublin Busi-

Share of City's Taxes
BY II. x. CULLEN

Dublin, March 22.-(Special)- )-One of the
most notable signs of the revival of Irish
industry is the activity during the last
few years of the Dublin Chamber of COM
merce. Five years ago that body was
hardly heard-of, and, while It existed, it
possessed no influence at all comparable
to that exercised by commercial bodies
in even third rate English cities. One of
the obstacles to its usefulness was the
difficulty in overcoming the political and
religious differences which in those days
entered into every phase of Irish life.
During the last two or three years, how
ever, owing chiefly to the activity of its
president, w. NJ. Murphy, who is the
chief proprietor of one of the leading
daily papers of the city, the chamber has
been doing uncommonly good work, and
it has succeeded in drawing into its men,
bership all the leading business men of
tlne city, no matter what their politics
may be. 1t has also succeeded in with
drawing from the arena of politics all
sorts of questions affecting the prosperity
Of the city and in securing on most of
them a united front by the leading citi-
zens of Dublin
One of the subjects on which it has
taken a strong stand is that of greater
Dublin" which is of the utmost impor-
lance to the we'll being of the Irish capi-
tai. According to the census returns Dub.
lin has been steadily dropping in popu-
lation and wealth during the last 80 years.
What has really happened is that old
Dublin, the center of the real city, has
been losing population to the outer resi-
deEtial suburbs, like Rathmines. In the
old days Dublin business men lived with
their families over their shops aud Of
fees. Today they live in the suburbs and
old Dublin is left to business and to those
who are too poor to move out and who
must be near their work.
The outer suburbs are not in the city
boundaries, and the result is that the tax
able value of Dublin proper has been
steadily falling while the rate of tax
alton has been rising. The men who
make their fortunes in Dublin pay little
or nothing toward it's upkeep, and this
expense falls on the poor who can least
afford it. The result is that Dublin has
some of the worst slu.ns in Europe SIM

will in the world to do so, has no money

the side of the mountain.
AS it passed on it's way it tore the
trees and tangled bushes from the
front of the mysterious cave near the
top, revealing the entrance. which had
not been visible for Is or 20 years.
This yawning black hole in the side
of Names highest mountain has for
years been the subject of legend and
speculation. While it has been visible
at intervals the few parties which
have set out to explore it have never
been able to find the entrance, al

try about the foot of the mountain.
So firmly was the Indian legend OF
Mount Katahdin fixed in the minds of
the Penobscot tribe that. few of them
would even ascend the mountain part
way. According to their belief an evil
spirit named Pamela resided on the
top of the. mountain in the summer
months. He had a hahitation within the
mountain into which he retired during
the winter and at intervals IL 1t SO

TWENTY BRITISH MINISTER'S \
DISAPPEAR EVERY YEAR

London. March 2.-(special)-All Eng
land has been perturbed, of late, over the
mystery of a clergyman's disappearance
The Rev. Albert Knight, with the con-
nivanee, it now proves. Of his wife, tooK
elaborate pains to make IL appear that
he had tumbled into the sea, but it has
been revealed since that he merely em-
marked on that element, accompanied by
a young and attractive parish worker OF
the opposite sex, bound for Australia.
Meanwhile his disappearance from his
Yorkshire parish has furnished a national
sensation and a solemn memorial service
to the eloping cleric was held in his
church. conducted by the bishop OF the
diocese.
The amazing vicar" as the newspa-
pers christened him. having been defi-
nitely located, his name will not appear,
next year. in the list of missing divines
which is published annually in Crockford's
Clerical Directory. This remarkable
volume, which contains the official rec
ords of between 10000 and i0.oo0 clergy
men, has just made its yearly appearance
and records the disappearance in the year
Just passed of no less than 20 British di-
vines This number is considerably above
the average according TO the editor Of
| "Crockford's,n who said that it is un-
usual to have more than % diyines re-
ported missing in the course of a year.
The records which he complies. cover the
uttermost corner of the mission field, tae
loneliest outpost of Christian effort, as
well as the smallest and least known OF
English rural parishes.
| Il am CHAD to say said the compiler
in chief of Crockfords. that there are
few amazing Wears among the English
| clergymen who disappear each year
| Some of them vanish while in the mission
field but the majority are victims Of
nervous breakdown and prove to be be-
yond our reaeh--in lunatic asylums. In
many cases, too, the explanation of a
clergymans disappearance proves to be
| that he has taken to business career
and thus has preferred to sink his cler-
iical identity altogether. Quite frequent
| ly, in fact, elergymen have written, after
