Only Ii electors In the whole OF

votes in yesterday bye-election, and
some OF them were paired.
There WAS never a more closely
contested election in the constituency,

The seat TO be filled would give either
the Nationalists or the Unionists the
majority of the members OF the pro-
Fince, and have a telling effect In
the homo rule controversy.
The seat was that OF the marquis
OF Hamilton, staunch Protestant
and anti-hOme ruler.
A driving rain poured down all day.

polling places. lii one instance, the
Nationalist went after a man and

The Winchester Measure.

The Winchester Measure. a term
seldom, II ever used in this country.
though common In England. refers
to the fact that away back In the
reign OF Edgar that King established
legal standard measure for the
prosecution of fraud. The standard
vessels were by royal order kept in
the City of Winchester. Hence the
Winchester Measure of the time of
Henry VII. The standard of measure
in the United States is based on that
OF the mother country. The last
Standard Weights and Measures act
of England was passed in 1855. Many
Of the old rules are still In force In
that country.

HOW THE NAME AMERICAN
Authorities Differ a. to Its Derivation,

We are told that the name of this
continent was derived from that OF a

ever, was vespucci. and vespucius Is
the Latinized form OF 1t, just as Ameri.

One unique theory Is the name
America was not derived from Yes

came from a Celtic word, imrich
which means to emigrate. However
the name may have been derived, 1t IL
