Irish Settlement Near.

THE Irish of Ireland have quit fighting and be-
gun praying. Less emotional the British
have also quit fighting and praying quite fer
venty, though less audbIy. Americans of all
bloods, can help have these prayers for peace real
lied, if they too will stop fighting and hating and
join in the prayer that quiet, happiness and good
cheer may come to Ireland
\ What satisfies the Irish of Ireland what they
think wise and best, certainly should satisfy their
friends on this side. And all Americans the
friends of Ireland, though very many have failed
to sympathze with the theory that in order to be So
they must be enemies of Great Britain. 1t is not
impossible to be friend to two men who are Bit
terly hostile to each other, and countries but
aggregations of persons. Next to Great Britain and
Ireland, the United States will have cause for
thankfulness, if peace shall come there.
All fighting stopped in Dublin with the confer
ence. 1t is to end in all parts from noon of today
That the London conference will reach decision of
permanent agreement is the confident expectation
1t is now so evident as to be beyond dispute, that
the Irish most earnestly desire end of this folly
of follies They have taken this first opportunity
to express this longing Of their heart in prayer.
That the people of Britain as earnestly wish it is
equally evident. No others have sharply and as

II was with grest interest that

the use of electric lighting circuits
to furnish the correct time each
evening at s o'clock by the momen-

To a suburbanite living beyond

The idea is so novel and striking
and certainly so close to the every

the humble suburbanite. that public
demand would assuredly force its
adoption at least in this city. IL not
throughout the country If only the
public were made well enough ac-

the daily giving out OF correct time

its adoption by the local power COM
