To Escape CONSUMPTION as is
Shown by the October Re-
turns in Dublin.

DUBLIN, Ireland. Dec. 1s-The
Irish emigration returns for the
month Of October contradict the
stories rs to the great exodus" OF
lrlshmen to the United States to es-
cape c0nscriptlon. The government
Official returns show that In the
month just passed 1908 men and
Iul women emigrated from ireland
to all parts OF the world. The figures
for the same month last year were
1899 men and 032 women. There is
thus decrease In emigration for
the month OF 800 men and 231
women. The record Is very similar
II the whole ten months OF this yea
Is compared with the same months
last year Last year the total emf
grafton from Ireland to all parts of
the world In the ten months was TO-
OBS men and 1864 women. This
year 1t has fallen to 1862 men and
@.GsA women.
The official figures also contradict
the story that the passages OF the
"aying slackers" were paid for by
German gold" sent over from
America. One thousand. one hun
dred and sixty-five OF the Lao emf
grants In October went TO the Unitet
states. and of these the passage of
only seventy-seven were prepaid from
the United States. In accordance with
the old practice by which Irish emf
grants who have settled in the United
of friends and relatives they have
left behind. For the ten months OF
this year of 5,81S emigrants to the
United States sos had their passage
prepaid. Last year in the same peri
cd out OF 14,714 who went to the
United States 3,649 had their pass
age paid for them.
1t Is true. however, that the de-
sire to avoid entering the army has
been added to the other causes OF
emigration. The methods of recruit
ing adopted in some districts, espe-
cially in the west OF Ireland, before
the business was taken over by u re-
sponsible department under the con-
troll of the lord lieutenancy, were Of
ten very ill-judged, and irritated in
stead OF conciliating the people.
Threats instead OF persuasion were
used, and the people were
told that if they did not come will
ingly they would be taken by the
scruff Of the neck" and forced in un-
der CONSUMPTION. Shortly following
upon these threats came the invita-
ton OF the lord lieutenant. distrib-
uted by circular to almost every
house in every parish in Ireland.
Though II was purely voluntary, the
people in some cases jumped to the
erroneous conclusion that here at last
was the fulfillment Of the threat.

FORMER BARRE MAN
Gaetano Mai Committed Suicide in Bos-
ton Yesterday

| News OF the suicide OF one of the most
competent granite carvers that ever
| came to Barre from Italy was conveyed
to this city in telegram received by
/ Rizzi Bros. yesterday. Gaetano Mai of
/ Milford, M H., for l5 years a residenr
| Of this city, ended his life in Boston yes-
terday by putting a bullet through hfs
head Dependency caused by i'll health
is the reason assigned for the mans act.
| His brother. Angelo Mai shoemaker
residing at All North Main street and
the only near relative of the deceased re-
siding in America left for Boston last
might to take charge Of the remains.
From the meagre information con-
tanned in the message received here it
is surmised that Mr.. Mai went from his
home in Milford to Boston to consult a
specialist. Ii is known that the physi-
clan to whom he went gave him no en-
couragement. For the past five years
the deceased had suffered continually
from nervousness. The atllictlon al
fected his sleep and at last he was moved
to describe his symptoms to the Boston
specialist After learning the worst, It
Is thought he Immediately ended his
life. The police were instrumental IN
communicating with Barre friends of tue
dead man, probably through papers
which he carried in his pockets. Angelo
Mai expected to accompany the remains
from Boston to Milford for burial.
ID was in the early spring Of 1898
that Gaetapa Mai. then a young man
well on in his teens, came to Barre from
his home in Saltrio, province Of Como,
Italy. He carried with him a letter Of
introduction to Joseph d, Ossola. who
had been established in Barre at that
time for several years. Mr.. Ossola found
the lad a boarding place and later OBJ
tanned employment for him at the gram
itc manufacturing plant of Eugene Sui
livan. Although his experience in carv-
ing had been limited 10 the marble in
dustry Of his own home province IN
Italy. he soon became an adept granite
worker and in time he grew to be one
OF the finest artisans in the Barre gram
ite belt. Some of his finest work. Great
ed on paper and worked out in the stone
unaided. may be seen on the facade Of
the Seampini block. In the Catholic
cemetery on BecSley street the finely
wrought carving on the monument owned
by Frank Cobb has been admired by
many. The same delicacy OF touch and
iinesse in execution which distinguished
his work in these instances may be noted
in splendid carvings which .he has done
for Others. During his residence here
Mr.. Mai made a large number OF friends
and his untimely end viii be learned
with genuine regret.
Upward Of five years ago he removed
from this city 20 Milford, y. H. whore
he was employed by the Milford Granite
Co ii statuary work. Failing health
did not deter him from following az in
tervals his chosen vocation. His Illness,
however. dated back over period of
nearly Eve wears and more recently hfs
condition became acute. Mr.. Mai was -
wears of age aud besides The brother al
ready mentioned De- leaves bis mothtr

Albion entered the straits and attack
ed fort No. s and the batteries at White
| Cliff. The fire was returned by the
| forts and also by field guns and howit-
zers.
"An air reconnaissance made by naval
sea planes in the evening brought the re-
port that several new gun positions had
been prepared by the enemy but that
no guns were erected in them. Tie sea
planes also located surface mines.
During Monday night a force OF mine
sweepers covered by destroyers swept
within mile and half of Cape Kehez.
and their work, which was carried out
under fire. is reported to have been ex-
cellent. The casualties sustained during
the day were slight, amounting to only
six wounded.

searchlights. The magazines of forts six
and three also have been demolished.
"A further report received states that

Cornwalls engaged fort No. 8. heavy
ire was opened on them by fort No. .,

zers. Fort No. 0 was damaged and

and although. three ships We're hit the
only casualty was one man slightly

"Seaplane reconnaissance was impos-
sible owing to the weather; the mine
sweeping operations were continued
throughout the day. The attack prog
resses.

ed the allied fleet of the Dardsnelles."
