The Position In Ulster.
The following table shows the popu-

including the boroughs in each-di-

Catholic. together with the number
of representatives in Parliament.

Counties.

1t is calculated that plebiscite
would exclude Belfast and the four
counties of Down, Antrim, Derry and
Armagh for the six years. In Ar.
magh, however, the Catholics are 45
per cent of the population. and the
voting would probably be close.
Reception Of the Proposals.
The proposals aroused no enthu
siasm on any side of the House. The
Premier did not anticipate that they
would.
| Mr. B6nar Law, the Unionist lead
er, asked for General Election and
permanent exclusion. Otherwise "the
position in Ulster will remain precise
ly as it has been. and the attitude ol
the Unionist party here to the people
of Ulster will also remain altogether
unchanged"
Sir Edward Carson said: ..
''If he were asked to recommend the
| proposals, he should like to know
whether they were to be recommend
ed as the price for agreeing to the
application of the rest of the Bill tc
Ireland. If that were so, he would
never do it.
"On the other hand, if the govern
ment wanted to dsarm Ulster in the
sense that Ulster would not resist by
force the proposals of the Bill, If the
government desired to bring about
such state Of things that they might
begin their Parliament in Ireland In
peace and quietness, then that was q
different proposition. One might &C
cept that proposition and go on by
constitutional methods to resist the
Bill.
'In that respect he frankly admitted
some progress had been made thai
day by the acknowledgment of the
principle of exclusion.
1T was an important matter, be
cause the moment they admitted thu

the principle might be worked out BY
negotiations.
For his own part, If the time llmi
was taken away, he should feel it hil
duty to go over to Ulster and to cal
a convention; but, with the time limi
and Ulster ready, as he believed, fol
any exigency, he would not go Il
Ulster"
So that the position of the Carson
ties Is that. unless there is exclusion
without time limit, there can't b.
no settlement which will avert civl
war.

STEAM-DRIED HAY.

Each year finds the farmer more of a
mechanic, as machine after machine ap-
pears to take the place Of the decreasing
supply OF manual labor. The up-to-date
farm now has It's machine shop and far
mer machnist. The farmer complains
that for five years past he has been
Obliged constantly to purchase new labor
saving machinery. On the other hand
had it not been for these new Inventions
many would have been obliged to go out
OF business.
The latest thing Is steam cured hay,
which makes the farmer Independent Of
cloudy or rainy weather In haying time.
The green grass is hauled to the hay fac
tory, unloaded at one end of the plant and
30 minutes later, energies at the other end
perfectly cured, ready for the barn or bale
press In case of rain, n canvass cover
insures arrival at the barn without wet
ting. The farmer has about given up his
tlme-honored trip to the "grist MILL" and
here comes the hay mill. Frequent show
ers make good grass. but much Of this Is
ruined in the process Of sun-drying. The
steam drier is independent of weather, and
moreover turns out better product, and
can work nights. Maud Muller might get
q job checking the loads, but there isn't
very much romance about watching the
steam gauge and a lot OF conveyor belts.

That a large amount Of mail, including

was only due to circumstances.
At Alburg the mail bound north from
the United States is transferred into the
baggage car and to this is due the fat
that 1t was not destroyed. The mail
clerks usually go to sleep and travel
north to Montreal for the reason that
they get better hotel accommodations

ANOTHER FREE OISPENSARY
Was Opened Yesterday at 10S
Pearl Street.
Central Location VIII De OF Much Help
10 Those Persons who Are Unable
to Pay for Physician or
Medicine.

A dispensary where the best of pro-
fessional services and medicine may be
obtained free of charge was opened at
$3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon at 1oS
Pearl street at the head of st. Paul.
The dispensarY will be in charge of
Dean II. C. Tinkham and other mem
bers of the faculty of the medical col
lege. but will in no way interfere with
the free dispensary at the Mary Fletch
er hospital, which will be carried on
as before.
The dispensary was started at the
hospital with the beginning of the
medical college year last October and
has been of inestimable value to peo-
pie in need of, but not able to pay for
medicine and the services of a physi-
clan. The scope Of the work can be
only partially realized when it is
known that about 1000 cases have been
treated since last October.
Dean Tnkham has for some time
thought that dlspensary. if located
in more central part of the city,
would come into more general use and
it is owing to his untirirg efforts that
the office will be opened to-day. The
advantages of having the office in an
accessible part Of the city are many.
Miss Cora Curtis the visiting nurse,
works in conjunction with the free
dispensary and has taken many cases
to the hospital The central location
Of the new office will be of much help
to her. There Will be a good physician
in attendance every afternoon between
80 and 80 and on certain afternoons
specialists will he present to treat spe-
cial diseases. affording an opportunity
for needy persons to receive the ad
vice of reliable physicians.
For the present DR.. Is. H. Adams will
be in attendance each afternoon. Or.
c. X Johnson, assistant to Dr. G. r.
Pisek of New York, will have charge
of the children's department. and Dr.
o \. Eastman, assistant obstetrician
at the Mary Fletcher hospital, will
have charge of the department of wom-
ems diseases. Any of the doctors con-
nectod with the medical college will
be available for consultation. While
persons receiving aid from the dispen
sary should not think of the service
as charity. II Is not intended to treat
people free of charge who are able to
pay for the services of n physician.

HEADS NATIONAL BANK.
Position of Trust Given John G. Alien.
Formerly Of Uincsburu

John C. Allen, the son Of J. II. Allen
of IInesburg, has been elected presi-
dent of the Peoples National Bank of
Monmouth III. The following con-
corning Mr.. Allen, taken from tho
Monmouth Daily Review of April 90
will be of interest to his many friends
here:
John C. Allen, the we'll known dry
goods merchant, was to-day elected
president of the Peoples National
Bank to succeed Harry b. Smith, who
rendered his resignation as head OF the
institution to the board Of directors
which met this morning. The change
does not cause much surprise as Mr.
Smith has intimated that he wanted
to get away from active work in the
bank owing TO his health and private
interests He will continue to hold his
interest In the bank and remains as n
member of the board of directors and
as a citizen of Monmouth.
Mr.. Allow is no stranger to the
banking business as he has been a
member of the board of directors for
a number of years and during that
time has always had the interests Of
the bank at heart. His natural bust
ness ability makes him well qualified
for his new place and under his gui-
dance the bank is expected to con-
tinue it's steady advance in the fnan-
cal world. His friends wish him
every success in the place. The other
officers of the bank remain as they

True Tests OF Maryland Soil

Inquiries are already being received
at the Maryland Agricultural College,
regarding the application of the law
passed by the recent General Assem-
bly,, appropriating $4,000 with which
to examine Maryland soils in order to
determine their respective adaptable
ties to crops. An appropriation of
$4,000 was originally asked and this
sum was granted by the Senate, but
the House was unwilling to concur.
Hence the reduction to $4,000.
As soon as the appropriation is
available, the Agricultural College will
at once begin to analyze the samples
of soils submitted to them from every
section of the State. By scientific
process the fact will be demonstrated
to what fruits, vegetables and cereals
the soil in question is best adapted.
The fact will also be brought out if
the soil needs lime. If it needs ferti-
lizer, and if so, what kind.
By this analysis the fact will be
proved whether a farmer has been en-
gagged in growing protitless crops be-
cause his land was not suited to this
particular crop. At the same time the
farmer will be advised as to what crop
he should plant.
By this scientific examination
farmer can be saved years of toll and
great expense necessary to expert
ment. He can also be advised to shift
his energies from one crvp TO another.
In Illinois farming has been revolu-
tionized by the methods to be intro
duced in Maryland. In brief, it is
proposed to make a survey of Mary
land soils, just as j. E. Aldred is max
ing survey of the industrial resources
and markets of Baltimore, in order to
timore's industrial population is best
fitted and which products find the
most profitable market there.
