members of the party, and such men
as William O'Brien, M. P., T. M.
Healy, M. P., and the leaders of the Sinn
Fein movement. What is needed he de
clares is a policy on which all can unite
and which will rekindle the enthusiasm
of the young men of Ireland. Such a
policy should include the Sinn Fein pro
gram of constructive work at home as
well as destructive criticism in the
British parliament at Westminster. Sir
Thomas declares frankly that he does
not expect that the liberal politicians
will ever give Ireland home rule unless
it is absolutely wrung from them and
he does not believe that they will ever
Sir Thomas has mined a powerful
ally In Archbishop Walsh of Dublin,
who has hitherto been one of the most
ardent supporters of the parliamentary
party. The archbishop has written to
the mid-Tlpperary executive of the
United Irish league In reply to a letter
asking him to call a peace conference,
that he was not the man to call such a
conference, but approving the Idea. He
addsthat he feels compelled to with
draw his support from the parliamen
tary party while the present disunion
of the national forces continues. '
Zs Passing Crisis.
There Is no doubt that the party and,
In fact, the whole national movement is
passing through a crisis, but there is
no reason to fear that it will not emerge
from this crisis stronger and more vig
orous than ever.
It seems to be the fear of Liberal
government In England to have to deal
with disturbed conditions In Ireland,
and if one stops to think this is nat
ural enough. When the Tories are in
power - Irishmen know that they can
expect no home rule legislation, and
whatever mey get in tne way or reme
dial land or local government legitAa
tion Is accepted as so much pure train.
When the Liberals come Into power
they make great promises of what they
are going to do for Ireland, and when
they fall to keep these promises the
people are Irritated and exasperated,
and the usual crop of disturbances fol
lows. This time It has been in Belfast,
where three persons have been killed
by the fire of the British soldiery. The
utter wantonness or tne government ac
tion was shown by what followed the
day after the shooting. Two Roman
Catholic priests and two or three Cath
olic laymen went to the lord mayor and
begged him to use his Influence to have
thu police and soldiers withdrawn from
the disturbed district, pledging . them
selves that if he did so they would
maintain order themselves. The trade
union leaders, who are Protestants and
Orangemen, agreed to look after their
own people ana tne iora mayor accepted
the proposal. The police and troops were
withdrawn and there was not the slight
est disturbance. There would have
been none in the first place if the peo
ple had not been exasperated by the
senseless display of military-force."
,,Oas Hopeful '-tUffa, 'v''
) Thaohe hopeful sjgn about Til he
recent atstertanues m Belfast has been
that there has been no collision between
those ancient enemies, the Roman Cath
ollcsf and the Orangemen. Protestant
and Romanist have fought side by side

From the Gentlewoman.
The report of the English inquiry for
the purpose of establishing the connec
tion between alcoholism and insanity
has just -been published. The commit
tee examined the cases of 71,600 people
maintained by the state asylums.
Of those who had become insane or in
any way feeble-minded through 'overv
absorption of alcohol they found 9.932
who represented a little more than 13
per cent of the cases examined. Almost
exaetly 3,000 men and women became
Insane wholly bet-ause of alcoholism;
with 8,285 alcoholism developed with de
generation and debility, and in 1,689
cases alcohol was only one of the
causes.
The report shows ' that while with
women the most dangerous age Is be

earlier, more than a fifth of the male

Three Failures in Handling
Plays Fail to Daunt
Plucky Lena Ashwell.
By Hayden Church,
London, Aug. 24.-rLen Ashwell, who
was taken 111 last season while playing
"The Shulamlts" In America and obliged
to cancel what remained of her tour,
tells me ehe is anxious to make another
trip across the water before long. When
she goes back again, however, she hopes
to head her" own .company and be her
own manager, and .before attempting
this In the United-States she proposes
to have another try for what are known
a "etellaa honors" In her own country,
This determination of Miss Ashwell's
indicates persistency,' at all events, for
no less thanHhree former attempts of
hers In a similar direction nave, ended
In omvinnrfltlv failure. The first Of
thAM -nraa mnd neflrlv four yeare asro,
or just after ihe actress' really prodigi
ous success as the heroine In "Mrs.
Dane's Defense,"- EncourKi oy tne
laudits that then' were snowerea upon
er; Miss Ashwell took a well-known
1 London playhouse and there 1 produced
written for her by the author of "Mrs.
Dane," Henry Arthur .Jones. Unluckily,
however. ."Chanee.s the Idol.' as it was
oalled.did iu)t. ppeaJ.io the pyblio here
and was withdrawn alter a compara

She acauired from Michael Morton an
adaptation of one of Rejane's successes
and puk It on in the provinces, but the
fa tee were again unpropltlous and the
actress was pDiiged to aoanaon ior a
time her dreams of "management" It
was only for t time, however, for after
playing a Ion a- entraaement and making
a big hit -.in "Leah Kleschna" at the
New theatre. Miss Ashwell had yet an
other go on her own hook. This time
the scene or her experiment was the
Savoy, where Mrs. Brown Potter had
just come to arief and evidently there
was a hoodoo in permanent residence
at this playhouse, for "Nlnonwde
l Enclos," the costume drama by Clo
Graves, which Miss Ashwell put on, did
not last more man a fortnight. .
With "The Shulamlte" her luck was a
trifle better, but Londoners, like Amerl
cans, found the piece too gloomy and
tne speeay suostiiution or a nappy ena
ing for the original "inevitable' did not
help matters much. According to Ml
accounts, the' new play -In which Lena
Ashwell. will first try her luck at the
Kingsway in uctoner is not or mucn
lighter texture. Its heroine being an
other ill-used wife. ' -Irene wycheney
the new piece is called, arid at present
its aumoress preiers to ra.miymouN.
Nor can more than a suggestion of the
story be disclosed, though it is said to
be of some power. Early in the play the
heroine is forced to leave her husband
owlna- to his brutality. Later an acci
dent T&rihgs the TWO together, with re
sults that lead to a tragic denouement,
That Is all that will be Known retard

Should 1 not please, however, an

it stands, and perhaps a new name and
the ' regafnishios ' which- It is receiving
at the hands of . Its coming man
aaeress may prove effective In chang-
ins tha luck. I' doubt, however.
If even a big London success would dis
suade Miss Ashwell from - making a
speedy return visit to the United
States, so enthusiastic is she over the
reception extended to her last year. She
is quite recovered from her illness, . by
the way, and ready ror nara wora.

mission appointed to Investigate the
sine resources of British Columbia.
Concerning the report, be -adds:
The conclusions drawn are that, al
though the sine industry la yet in Its'
Infancy in British Columbia, It Is capa
ble of great development. While sev
eral of the mines now being worked are
essentially sine mines, there are soma
silver-lead mines in which-sine blende
is found In considerable . Quantities.
Until recently the sine in the silver
lead ores was regarded as an. Impurity
to be gotten rid of by the .easiest and
cheapest means possible. The increased
demand for sine of late has made valu
able as a by-product this sine blende,
which was formerly a troublesome lm
purity. The commission regards 15,000
ions of sine ore of 60 per cent grade ss
a liberal estimate of the present annual
production of the Slocan district, and It
is calculated that the Alnsworth district
can produce lOO tons dally of 50 per cent
ore - There are many mlries -and pros
pects In. other portions ef the province
which are supposed to carry sino in
paying quantities. A sine smelter has-,
been established at Frank, fAlberta, the
plant being close to a coal mine and on
the 'route from the mines to the market.
The large amount of fuel required In
reducina- xlno ore renders It neoessary
tht coal shall be near the smelter.
Coat can bs delivered at the Frank smel
ter at leys than ii per ton.
