I have just re turned from an extended tour in the provincial centers of Ireland, visiting in turn the cities of Belfast, London derry, Cork, Waterford and Limerick, as well as the more important county towns, and have been in intimate touch with representative Irishmen of all sec tions and classes and discussed with therii freely and fully the various as pects of the home rule difficulty. 1 am thus enabled to voice the views of the more moderate and fair-minded Nationalists and Unionists whose opin ions are but seldom publicly expressed, but who. nevertheless, represent the 4.t ! fUVV: J7 LI I :.r .

An ex- TREE BRINGS VOTES the northeast corner of Ulster, nowhere is the feeling of the great majority of intelligent Irishmen as keen or en thusiastic on this question as many are led to believe. The moderate Nationalists, who com prise the large number of farmers who have secured an indubitable title to their holdings under the several land acts, and the well-to-do shopkeepers and merchants, who have ever been the backbone of the National movement. look forward with confident assurance that this vexed problem will at the last be amicably settled by an hon orable compromise acceptable to fair minded men of all sections and to the home affairs of Ireland being removed outside the maelstrom of party poli tics; they will then be able to join hands with their hitherto political op ponents in developing the commercial and industrial . resources of Ireland. Finances Admitted Problem. They realize, however, that the finan cial provisions of the home rule bill are not as generous as they anticipated, but look forward to any grievances they may have under this head being removed by Mr. Asquith. It is also on the financial side that the greatest difficulty is experienced In dealing with the question from the Ulster standpoint. With his keen busi ness acumen the average Ulsterman of substance is firmly convinced that the financial margin in the home rule bill 1s too small to provide satisfactory working, more especially as he knows there is a great amount of social re form work required in Ireland which will have to be taken in hand at once by the Irish Parliament. This will in evitably require additional finances, which, if not provided by the Imperial exchequer, will have to be raised by enhanced Irish taxation. He knows that a land tax would be exceptionally unpopular in Ireland, so much so, indeed, that it would be prac tically impossible for an Irish Chancel lor to carry a budget imposing it. Such being the case, it is feared that the in dustries peculiar to Ulster would be specially taxed to raise the required revenue. Many of these industries are worked at so small a prpfit that even a. small tax would seriously retard their development. Compromise Declared Mope. Were acceptable safeguards intro duced in reference to the education question, the financial provisions of the home rule bill made more gener ous, entry to the higher posts in the IrlKh civil service to be by competitive examination and an assurance given of adequate representation of Protestants in both the lower and upper houses of the Irish Parliament, the great propor tion of the Ulster opposition would im mediately vanish. Rational and reasonable Ulstermen are hoping that an acceptable compro mise may be arranged and they have no desire to be ostracized from the rest of the country. They are Irishmen who are sincerely devoted to the wel fare of their country and strongly re . sent any accusation to the contrary. The same may be said of the many "Unionists in the other three provinces, only they feel their position even more keenly at the present juncture. LThe proposal that Ulster should be granted a measure of home rule with in home rule has occasioned a univer sal feeling of alarm and dismay in the other parts of Ireland. The Cabinet for the last 15 months has thought and talked of little else than Ireland, but in all that long period no Cabinet Minister has ever set foot in Ulster, save Mr. Birrell. Can it be wondered that misunderstanding is so rife, when Ministers will not trouble to visit the province whose fate they seek to settle so lightly? amination revealed a match in tlally-burned bale of cotton. . a par- PAWNERS GET. SLIM PAY Sensitive Poor of London Gixe One or Two Pennies Each Trip. LONDON", May 2. A police court case hus called attention to the existence in London of an avocation which Is not known to exist anywhere else in the world. It is that of pawner, a profession given over entirely to women who. In the poorer districts of London, undertake for a small compensation to. carry the goods of their necessitous but sensitive neighbors to the pawnshops. Most of this work of pawning is done for women who are ashamed to be seen entering- a pawnshop, but-some of it is done for other women who are too busy to attend to the formality. In certain districts these pawners are known as "runners," and they live on this work, charging from 1 to 2 cents for each journey, according to the means of their clients. In one of the meanest streets of the East End, which has a pawnshop at either end, two women ply a busy trade as pawners. One of these women is a widow, known and trusted in this work, and she has built up a big connection in the neighborhood. She uses a perambula tor, and- is frequently seen passing along the street with a load of miscel laneous articles destined for the hungry maw of the pawnshop. Monday morning is her busy day, as hundreds of ill-paid casual laborers living in the district depend many times for their week's maintenance upon pawning something that day. On Saturday, when the head of the family brings home his - money, -the pawner is called upon to redeem the goods which she carried away the pre vious Monday, and usually the next Monday the first journey is repeated.

The Eiffel Tower, which has just celebrat ed its 15th birthday, has of late years hcconio extremely useful to scientists. Its eultabilitv for measuring varia tions of atmospheric pressure has en abled it to be utilized as a kind of barometer, while alterations in its height, as the temperature rises or falls, have made it the most stupendous thermometer in the world. These variations in size have been carefully measured by M.

The latter received its name because it came into prominence at the time of the comple tion of the Croton system of water works in New York City. The exten sion of this system gave it means of entering into residences and greatly encouraged its spread. Dampness of water pipes is favorable to it, and it may be carried by the pressure of the water long distances through the pipes without injury. This roach has so multiplied in the Eastern United States that it has now become the commonest and best known of the domestio species. A French trap that has been nsed with success is the following: Some attractive bait such as stale 'beer or ' flour- or sliced raw potato is placed in box, the cover of which is replaced by four glass plates inclined downward funnel-like and closely joined except at the bottom. The roaches fall from these pieces of glass Into the box and are unable to escape. There are various poisons which It is asserted are fairly effective as rem edies against roaches. The only one of these that seems to give satisfactory results is a phosphorus paste, sold in the form of pills. It consists of sweet ened flour paste containing 1 to 2 per cent of phosphorus, and is spread on bits of paper or cardboard and placed in the runways of the roaches. This mixture has been used very success fully in the department to free desks from Croton bugs, numbers of the dead Insects being found in the drawers every day during the time the poison was. kept about. As- phosphorus is poisonous to human beings and do mestic lnnammaoie, it snouiu. be used very PARIS. May 6. All efforts to pre serve Balzac's last home and the relics of his furniture, worth perhaps $400 seem doomed to failure. His works may be translated into every lan guage and brought out in hundreds of editions, but not enough subscribers can be found to pay $2.50 a year to keep up his house and last home in Passy. Balzac, as is well known, re sided at the time of his death at No. 47, Rue Ranouard. In 1908 M. de Royau mont, a man of letters, tried to estab lish in it a museum in honor of the memory of Balzac. The house belongs to Madame Barbier, SO years of age, and a great admirer of the author of the "Comedle Humaine," M. de Royau mont was to pay $600 a year, which was to be defrayed chiefly by means of the voluntary contributions of the Society of Admirers of Balzac, which he founded, and whose members were to pay $2.50 a year. M. de Royaumont was able to get to gether only 150 paying subscribers. The state had promised a small con tribution, and a few generous persons promised special donations, but all this did not suffice to make up the requisite sum for the rent. He then thought to make up for the deficit by charging vis itors an entrance fee of 20 cents to visit his Balzac museum. But only 80 persons visited the museum last year , and paid the lee. The Balzac museum, reduced to only one and three-fifths of a visitor per week, so to speak, is threatened with eviction. It is true that, during his lifetime. M. Balzac himself was evicted almost as many times as Mr. Micawber. This is the second time that the process is repeated in his honor after his death. The museum was threatened with evlc tion in 1909. On May 31 of that year the executor of the Sheriff Maitre Albert Baitry, took an inventory of the museum, and stated that its contents consisted of an old wooden coffer, an old walnut table, a Louis XIII armchair, some statuettes and plaster busts and aqua fortis engravings representing Balzac, an unpublished manuscript, a correc tion of his works, and numerous boons concerning Balzac. He stated that the whole collection might be worth 'any thing from $40 to $400." The magistrate before whom the case was called this time ordered the whole museum to be transferred to a furni ture warehouse, unless the rent now in la Jmit Tana MlnsUs Tu are ea tae War to Blood Health carefully. ord for the fastest trip across the Pacific, having made it in nine days and five hours, as against nearly 11 days, the record time of the Empress of Japan.

MR. PINDELL AT CAPITAL Visit Starts Rumor That He Was to I Sail on "Piffle' 'With Bryan. WASHINGTON. May 2. Harry M. Pin- I dell, owner of the Peoria (111.) Journal, passed a few hours in Washington one day recently. Mr. Pindell is .the man who resigned as Ambassador to Rus- ia immediately after his nomination was confirmed, following a hard fight in tne senate. When it was learned that Pindell was In town the story was started on its rounds that Secretary of State Bryan had summoned him to take command f the good ship Piffle, on which he was to sail for Tampico to exchange the Chautauqua salute with Vic Huerta. The good ship Piffle was the last of the fleet that was carried throusrh the ban quet hall at the annual dinner of the Military Order of the Carabao, which aroused so much indignation on the part of Secretary Daniels and Secretary Bryan, and resulted in a reprimand to the officers composing the committee in charge of the arrangements. The Piffle in the parade of vessels was third in line, its predecessors being the Friendship and Good Fellowship. Mr. Pindell was not asked concern- ng the rumor, but when- asked what brought him to Washington said he was merely passing through on his way to New York to attend the annual meet- ng of the Associated Press members. He was accompanied by his daughter, and they had stopped oil at Staunton. Va., where Miss Pindell was formerly a student at a girls' college. Staunton is the native town of President Wilson.

Uncle Km has had the housekeeper in mina and has caused the Department of Agriculture to issue" the following ad vice to those who would exterminate the pestiferous cockroach. With the approacn or tne warm Spring weather, cockroaches multiply rapidly and leave their Winter hiding places. If cockroaches are trouble some in the house, the following sim pie remedy, recommended by one of the Department of Agriculture's scientists, will unquestionably destroy great numbers of the pest and keep them in checK as enecuveiy as iroume some insect powders and dangerous ooisons: Mix one -part of piaster or pans ana three or four parts of flour. Place thi dry mixture in a saucer or on a flat piece of wood or tin where roaches are numerous. Near by place another flat Dlate containing pure water. Supply few inclines of wood or cardboard from the flour to the edge of the plate or saucer to give easy access. Float one or two thin pieces of wood on the water so that they will touch the edge of the dish. The Insects readily the plaster mixture, become thirsty and drink. The water makes th plaster set in the Intestines and kill the roach. Such traps may be placed in pantries, and bakeries in particular, with good results. Another simple trap which has been successfully used in the following: A deep vessel or Jar is partially filled with stale - beer, for which roaches seem to have a special fondness. A number of flat strips of rough wood are placed at an incline against the vessel and bent over so that they pro ject into the interior a few inches. The roches climb up the inclined sticks to get the beer and slip off into the vessel. This trap proves more attractive to certain species of roaches than the others.

The Empress of Russia and Asia are each -643 feet in length ana 68 feet in breadth, and have a gross tonnage of 16.850, with a displacement of 30,625 tons.

The malls which these steam ers are carrying now for the United States will no doubt be largely in creased with the extension of their trips in the Orient. This move on the part of the Cana dian Pacific was the result of appeals from merchants and business men, not only of Manila. China, Japan and the Pacific Coast, but of Chicago and New York, as well. The bringing of the United States 10 days closer to the Philippines will mean much in a closer trade relation and will make commerce possible on lines now out of the question. It will also put Manila on the direct line of the heavy tourist travel around the world from Great Britain by the Cana dian Pacific. 2 GIRLS SUE SAL00NMEN Children Say Tatlier Was Kept From Supporting Them.
