SINN FEM ARE ASKED
TO NEW PEACE MEET
Lloyd George Invites Eamonn De Va
lera to London Farley on
October II.

Gairloch, Scotland, Sept. 30.-The
text of Prime Minister Lloyd Georges
reply to the latest note from Eamonn
De Valera, which was DISPATCHED to
Dublin, is as follows:
"Sir: His majesty's government
has given close and earnest consid-
GRAFTON to the correspondence which
has passed between US since their
invitation to you to send delegates
to a conference at Inverness.
''In spite of their sincere desire for
peace, and in spite Of the more con-
ciliatory tone of your latest communi-
cations, they cannot enter into a con-
ference upon the basis of this cor
respondence.
Notwithstanding your personal as
surance to the contrary, which they
much appreciate, it might be argued
in the future that the acceptance of
a conference on this basis had in
volved them in recognition which
no British government can accord.
On this point they must guard them
selves against any possible doubt.
There is no purpose to be served by
any further interchange of explana-
tory and argumentative communion
tiOns upon this subject. The position
taken up by his majesty's government
is fundamental to the existence Of the
British empire, and they cannot al
ter it.
"My colleagues and I remain, how
ever, keenly anxious to make, in CO.
operation with your delegates. another
determined effort to explore every
possibility of a settlement by per-
sonal discussion.
1.-THE proposals which we have al
ready made have been taken by the
whole world as proof that our endeav-
Ors for reconciliation and settlement
are no empty form, and we feel that
conference, not correspondence, is the
most practical and hopeful way to an
understanding such as we ardently
desire to achieve.
"We therefore send you these with
fresh invitation to a conference in
London on October IL, where we can
meet your delegates as the spokes-
men Of the people whom you repre-
sent with a view to ascertaining how
the association of Ireland with the
community of nations known as the
British empire may be best recon-
ciled with Irish national aspirations.
II am. sir, yours faithfully,
I'D. LLOYD GEORGE"

ENTERED INTO REST.
Annette Greenwood.


Annette Greenwood, youngest child
of Mr. and Mrs Arthur Greenwood,
904 Wisconsin street, died early Fri
day morning, Oct. 4th, following a
weeks sickness of infantile paralysis
one year and one month of age. The
funeral, which was strictly private,
took place Tuesday afternoon with
burial in St. Paul's cemetery, Father
O'Reilly officiating at the brief serv-
ices at the grave. Little Annette
had the best of care and medical at
tention, but to no avail, and her
death seems doubly sad as her father
is at Colorado Springs to recuperate
in health. May it be a comforting
thought to them "that it is no little
honor to be the parent of an angel
in heaven" The sympathy of the
community is extended to the be-
reaved parents who with one brother
and two sisters mourn their loss.

SPECIAL SUNDAY SERVICES
Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Attend
Worship i'm Trinity Church
i'm a Body.

Someone asked a friend what fu-
neral that was on seeing so many
autos unloading in town on Sunday.
The lady replied there is no funeral:
it is the Oddfellows going to Trinity
Episcopal church to attend a service.
The time of the service was three
o'clock in the afternoon. The Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs met at their
hall and marched in a body to the
church. There was remarkable
turnout. They came from Platteville,
Dodgeville, Linden and surrounding
vicinities. There was a large and
good choir present, and in addition
Miss York favored the congregation
with solo. Every seat in the church
was filed. The Rector, being a new
member of the order, preached to
them on the subject of the good
Samaritan. His central thought was
duty to God and service to our fell
lowmen. Suffering humanity is al
ways our neighbor. By our service
to the needy, we prove to the world,
the teachings of our Lord of friend
ships, love and truth. The Rec
tors words were welcomed, and were
received by all who attended the
service.

New Electrical Fixtures in ST.
PauPS Church.

New electric fixtures have just
been installed in st. Paul's church of
this city, which are perhaps the best
in this section of the state. The
lights are so arranged that the light
is equally good in all parts of the
church. The fixtures are of old
Roman design, especially designed
for churches. They consist of a
large circular band, supported by
arched strips, which meet about
three and one-half inches from the
band and continue from there with
three-inch link of solid brass. On
this band are hung five small acorn
lights, taking 1-100 watt lamp each.
The shade of acorn is opalescent. In
the center of the band a large acorn
of like material is suspended taking
a 30O-watt lamp. The fixture is of
solid brass, is of French gold finish,
the weight being about $50 pounds.
There are two of these fixtures in
the auditorium of the church, and
one large individual acorn in the gal
ledy, which takes 2OO-watt lamp.
The fixtures were made by Chas.
Polacheck e Bros. Co., of Milwaukee e
and bought and installed by Harry
G. Frieden of this city. Five cluster
Tabernacle lights were installed
earlier in the season.

At about eight o'clock on last Sat
urday morning a dreadful accident
occurred while men were at work
repainting the Congregational church
of this city. Mr.. Alfred H. Martin,

about fifty feet, when suddenly he
fell to the concrete pavement below.
He was carried into the church and
DR.. Gratiot was called. He was after
wards taken to the home of his broth
er, Mr.. r. j. Martin. He remained
unconscious until the end came,
which was about half as hour after
arrival at the home.
Alfred H. Martin was born in Min
eral Point fOrty-siX years ago, the
son of the late Mr.. and Mrs. John
Martin He always made his home
in Mineral Point, where he was. high
ly respected by all who knew him. A
man Of kind and gentle nature, with
good will for everyone, his sud
den death was a great shock to the
community.
/ The funeral took place on Monday
afternoon with services at the home,
conducted by Rev. j. Cooke, pastor
in Graceland.
