and passengers are summoned to
service by the ringing of brass bell
suspended from the side of the
church.

ABOUT MEXICO.

The area of Mexico is practically
as large as that of the United States
between the Mississippi River and
the Atlantic coast, the Great Lakes
and the Gulf of Mexico, varying in
altitude from sea level to $4,000 feet.
Its climate is affected by these eleva-
tons and by range of 10 degrees of
latitude. Twelve hundred miles is
the distance traversed in passing from
Juarez on the northern boundary to
the capital, and 900 miles more to
the southeastern boundary. The Gulf
of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea
coast line extends for 1850 miles,
while the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf
of California touch 1900 miles of
Mexican coast.
The average density of population
of Mexica approximate twenty per
square mile, the most thickly popu-
lated portions, outside of the federal
district, being the states of Taxcala
and Mexico, the former being smaller
in area than Delaware and of about
the same density of population. The
State of Mexico is nearly as large
both in population and area as New
Hampshire.
The form of government adopted
by Mexico follows that in general of
the United States, having executive,
legislative and judicial divisions.
Each of the twenty-seven States is
represented in two houses of con-
gress composed of senators and depu-
ties. Congress holds two sessions
each year for limited periods. Each
State has its governor and legislature
and is subdivided into districts or
counties, over which a jefe po1itico is
placed, the districts having subsidiary
municipalities with magistrates, pre-
siding officials and councils. The So
called autocratic feature of the gov
eminent may be largely due to the
fact that governors hold Office with
tAS oPPAOSoA Va lAS PASSAOSAlS IAos
jefe politicos have similar relations
with the governors, and that the ofic-
ers of the municipalities are general
ly controlled by the jefe politicos.
OF the 100000 inhabitants, two
ffths claim descent from ancient
tribes or families which are accepted
as the basis of Mexican history; two
ffths are of mixed native and foreign
blood, the remainder being classed
under the common appellation of
foreign"
The City of Mexico, 246 miles by
rail west of Vera Cruz and 200 feet
in altitude, is reached by two rail
routes, climbing from the hot lands
through difficult mountain passes, one
of which closely follows the trail
taken by Cortez in 1919, by General
Winfield Scott with American troops
in l847, and over which, fifteen years
later, the invading French troops
passed.

Murrough in 1417 to the rebellion of

A GREAT IRISH CHIEF

Attorney Thos. H. Sullivan in the
course of lecture on Ireland's history,
delivered to the A. o. H., Worcester,
Mass, u. S. A., said: 'Time will per-
init but a cursory glance at some of
the important events that history has
recorded. Art MacMurrogh Kavanagh
was born A. D., 1877, and died A. D.
1417. He was King of Leinster while
Richard H.. Henry w., and Henry ",
sat on the English throne. When
eighteen years of age he was elected
king he married the daughter of Maui
rice Fitzgerald, fourth earl of Kildare
and by this marriage violated the Stat
ute Of Kilkenny. On this account
shortly after the accession of Rich
ard, the back rents were stopped, and
the English authorities seized his
wife's estates. Art MacMurrogh re-
sented this, and at once set about de-
vastating and burning many districts
of Leinster. Things were going from
bad to worse in Ireland. At length
King Richard resolved to visit Ire
land in person, and bring with him an
army that would strike terror into the
Irish outlaws, and compel obedience
to his laws by force. He landed at
Waterford in the fall Of 1894 with an
army of $4,000 men. MacMurrogh at
once attacked, and sacked New Ross,
an English settlement, and retreated
to place Of safety. King Richard
marched to Dublin( but was harassed
and attacked all along the line, and
lost great numbers of his men. Mac
Murrogh well knew guerilla warfare,
and with handful of men played
havoc with a greatly superior force.
The Irish chief knew, however, that
he could not resist successfully the
Kings great army. He made terms
with the king. and with all the chiefs
came forward and submitted. Richard
was glad to end the struggle, and in
vited the chiefs to Dublin, where he
banquetted them, and knighted four
provincial Kings-O'Neill Of Ulster,
O'Connor of Connaught, MacMurrough
of Leinster. and O'Brien of Thomond.
Richards expedition was an expen-
sive failure, for he left conditions in
no wise improved when he embarked
for England. He left Roger Mortimer,
heir to the English throne, as his dep
uty in Ireland. No sooner had Rich.
ard sailed than the Irish chiefs at
once proclaimed that their submission
was a sham, that the King had no
right to demand it, and that it was
might, not right, that compelled them
to acquiesce. The fighting was re-
newed at Kells. in Kilkenny; the Eng
lish were routed, Mortimer was slain,
and again Marlborough was supreme.
When the King heard of the calam.
ity that had befallen his cousin he
was enraged at MacMurrough, and re-
solved at once to set out again for
Ireland to avenge Mortimers death
and to overpower and humiliate the
great Irish chief. A second time he
landed at Waterford with an army az
numerous as the previous one. This
time he determined to attack Mac
Murrough without delay: but again
unforeseen obstacles beset him. Boys.
forests. fallen trees. hidden gullies
and quagmtres In turn delayed his
march. HacMurrough retreated skill.
