HOME RULE BILL
 MAY BE AMENDED
Movement to Grant Ireland Financial Autonomy Gain
 ing Strength in England.

LONDON. Feb 26.-Prospect of the Irish Home Rule being applied under conditions giving it a fight ing chance has been brightened measurably by a movement calcu lated to bring Northern and Southern Ireland into agreement to accept the act on condition that it be amended to grant Ireland complete financial autonomy. Plans to this effect are said to be receiving serious con sideration by the leaders of botb sections.
 There is a great weight of general sentiment throughout Ireland in favor of any settlement which will end the present chaos. Irish Catholic Bishops are foremost among those who are encouraging this sentiment.
 Between the most moderate and the most extreme Nationalists there is this one point of agreement, that the decision of the Irish people them selves must be supreme. Submis- sion of their attitude to the electors and the endorsement of that atti- tude by the country's voters. is the basis upon which Sim Feiners rest their case. They say that endorse ment must stand.
 Referendum Urged
 There is considerable section If the populace, however, who be- leve the time has arrived for a fresh consultation of the peOple-that d new opportunity should be given for Inc expression of the popular will. The suggestion is made that q formal referendum should be taken as to whether the people still adhere 10 the uncompromising Republican policy, or are willing to give the new Home Rule Act a trial.
 Sir Edward Carson for Ulster has accepted, but Sim Fein has re fused the Act. In neither case have the people themselves being consulted as to what they think of it
 There is even among Sim Feiners number who believe that if would be good tactics to accept the Act as far as it goes. secure the election of Sim Feiners to the Southern Parliament and obtain as much con trol of the Irish Government q. possible in the same way as they have obtained control of most of tn local authorities They would the; use their new position as the basi of a fresh advance.

Editor Calls Queen Big and Homely" Two Challenges
 To Fight Follow.

MONTEVIDEO, Feb. 26.- Publica- tion by the newspaper El Dia, of a photograph of the royal family of Italy during the recent visit herC of Prince Aimone de Saboya aboard the Italian cruiser Roma resulted il two challenges to fight duels and the early departure of the Prince
 One of the officers of the Italian cruiser challenged the editor who i1 turn, challenged the Italian Minister, but no duel was fought.
 Offense was taken oy the Italian visitors to the captions under the photographs which they considered disrespeetful to the royal family. The legends describe King Victor Emanuel as not having the appear ance of one chosen to rule a people Queen Dowager Margarita as small and inelegant," and Queen Helena as "big and homely."
 Lieut. Giovanni Gallati of the Roma, according to the accounts. was chosen by lot among the officer 5 of the vessel to demand of the editor either retraction of the phrases or reparation by arms on the field of honor.
 Editor Defiant
 Fl Dias editor, Julio Maria Sos3, published his reply to the challenge in the paper saying he had no aX- plantations to give, that he would not recognize Lieut. Gallati, as having been the offended one, but, that if any offense had occurred, the proper person to challenge was Prince Aimone himself, as a member of the royal family, or the Minister of Italy in Montevidio, or the Commander of the Roma.
 Neither the Prince nor the two others mentioned came forward with challenge. but the upshot was that court of honor was appointed iH accordance with the Uruguayan dl cling law. which handed down } verdict that the offense was not of character to require resort 10 arms but that the attitude of Lieut.. Gal lati founded on a private conception of patriotism. always to be respected, was perfectly applicable and worthy of consideration"

LAORANT---THE MAN
OF MANY MYSTERIES.
University Chapel, Saturday, April
18th.

On Saturday evening, April 10th,
at 8:15 o'clock in the University
Chapel, the fifth of the Lyceum num-
bers will be given. Laurant and his
assisting artists will furnish a do
lightful evening of illusions and
music.
For more than seventeen years the
Great Laurant has been Chautau-
qua and Lyceum headliner Fol-
more than ten years he has appeared
under Redpath management fact
which speaks for itself. During the
years which he has devoted to the
Lyceum platform, many offers from
vaudeville and theatrical managers
have been turned aside by Mr.. Lau-
rant because he believed in the Ly-
ceum as greater field in which to
present his work. In fact, as a char
ter member of the International Ly-
ceum Association, he has had no
small part in the development of this
organization and the Lyceum move
ment as a whole
The high esteem in which he is held
by the members of his own profess
sion is evidenced in the fact that he
was given a gold medal by the So
ciety of American Magicians. He has
also appeared on several occasions
before societies of scientific research.
1t has always been Mr.. Laurant's
aim to have the most artistic magic
entertainment before the public. He
has never been content to let well
enough alone or to rest upon his
laurels Each season he has endeavor-
ed to make his entertainment better
than the last. The production of the
coming season will be equipped in the
usual lavish manner that has charac-
terized all his entertainments, ~
stage settings surprising in beatD
all previous efforts. Mr.. Fred LaD.
son will assist Mr.. Laurant and as
stage manager will have charge of
this mass of equipment, insuring a
perfect presentation Of the program.
Mr.. Laurant will also be assisted by
Miss Greta Banes, a talented pianiste
who will delight the audiences with
her piano solos. She also will take
an active part in the various magic
scenes.
The price of admission to this en-
tertainment will be $3.50. Attention
is also called to the last and sixth
number of this years Lyceum Course,
the Kreidler-Poppe/ program which
will be given on Tuesday evening
May 10th.

CMwrch Notes and Comments
A.. r.
Mrs. a. r. Galloway.

"And he that taketh not his cross
and followeth after me is not worthy
of me" Matt. 1928.
Nobody is interested in a "hard
luck" story, but every one is interest
ed in the man or woman-who is full
of faith in God and in his fellow
beings, and is doing his level best to
make good by encouraging others.
Such people find friends everywhere"
God bless them!
The more of heaven there is in our
lives, the less of earth we shall covet.
An exchange says that "a preach
err like piano needs frequent tuning"
We beg to add that this same rule
might be applied beautifully to the
majority of his parishioners.
All, how often we all get out of
time with the sublimities of Gods
great universe.
The w. M. U. of the Baptist church
presented an interesting play-"The
Trial of the Robbers" Monday after
noon. The object of this play is to
teach lesson in tithin.,.
The slogan of every church. srooli
be Every christian an evangelist,
and every church center for evan
gelism."
The "Top Notch" class of the Meth
odist Sunday School was entertained
in the pleasant home of their teacher,
Miss Mary E. Doney, Saturday even
ing and organized themselves into a
ball team. They have challenged the
ball team of the Water Valley NJ E.
Sunday School and will play them
Saturday afternoon at that place.
Mrs. Robert. Fur who had the dis
tinction of being the only delegate
from Lafayette County in attendance
at the State Sunday School Conven-
ton at Jackson last week, brought
back a most inspiring and enthusiast
tic report of the magnificent work
this great convention is doing thru
the great and noble men and women
that compose its body. When we be-
gin to compare the little we are doing
to the big things that some others are
doing to bring Christ's kingdom in,
then it is that we are made to realize
and feel ashamed of our indifference
to the needs at home. We trust that
every school in the county will begin
now to pray and plan to attend and
add something to our County SUM-
day School Convention which con-
venes this year at the Agricultural
High School building at College Hill
some time later. We want this to be
the biggest and best association ever
held in our county.
So mote it be.
