WED DINGS ARE A RARITY, AND IRELAND'S CHILDREN ARE CORN ONFORUGN SOIL (United Proas Leased Wire.) Dublin. Mnrch 11 Compared with Mnglnnd. Scotland and Wales, Ireland has x disproportionately large num ber of old age pensioners because none of the poor Rtay on the Island who can possibly find homes else whore, and anions those who remain there are naturally many who nro too old to start life afresh abroad. Irishmen prominont In tho move ment all over tho country for tho improvement in the psoplo's condi tion have been Investigating the charges In ICnglnud of wholesale frauds on the pension rolls and this is the conclusion they have reached1 concerning the accusations of Iitorh lnrlty. Hut thoy sarcastically offer5 the Ilrltlsh government one grain of comfort. In Ireland, they say, the old nro rapidly dying off while, as they die, no one else Is growing old to take their places. So far, thoio fore, as the Kmcrnld Isle Ih concern ed, It Is declared (hero will soon be Removal Sale This Is an honest snlo got up specially to try and keep tho stock down Our Spring goods nro pouring in on top of us and wo have no loom fui them until our now building Is complete if you want goods at cost or a little over, wo will sell them to vou now until our new building Is finished. ! a perceptible reduction In tho num ber of mimes on the list That "there has been a certain amount of error duo to tho dense Ignorance In which England is charg ed with having kept tho country, to uncertainty among many people as io their exact ages and to misunder standings of the pension laws, is ad mitted. It Ih denied, however, that this percentage Is large. To the Hngllsh representation that Ireland Is receiving more pensions than It has penslonablcs, tho Irish reply that the pensions were granted on dofinitc and generally nccurnto Information, while the number of penslonnbles was merely estimated undiscriminated. That almost every man any woman In the country of pensionable age Is poor enough to bo entitled to n pension is conceded. It was from the most poverty stricken of the rural distrlctii that the Irish Investigators Into tho situ ation got their first intimation that the problem of providing ponslons for the aged poor among the country men is likely soon to solvo itself through the failure of supply of pen sioners entitled to receive thorn. Tho proposition was so stnggcrlng that It was looked Into at first hand and on the strength of tho Htatlstlcn gath ered, it is said that there Is little doubt concerning the accuracy of the production. Taking as an illustration the Horn district of County Month, It develops thnt five out of twenty-flvo old ngo pensioners have died atneo tho law went Into effect and that there nro neither any others to take their places nor any who will qualify for u long time. Tho Investigators turned to tho marriage and baptismal records for cullghtmeut and lmmollntoly discov ered thnt, whllo six or sovou weeks Is now tho average interval botwecn weddlims, and between christening, in tho early forties both marriages and baptisms averaged three or four weokly. Lent wob, of course, re sponsible for a break In tho continu ity of tho record of marriages but, Immediately following it, It was In variably found that n corresponding ly largo number of entries appeared tho nnmcH of couples who had been awaiting tho expiration of the holy season to enter Into wedlock. "Tho people nro as zealous as ever in their observances," Is tho explana tion of Father Harry, tho parish priest, "but now thoy lonvo tho coun try before thoy nro old enough to marry, nnd their marriages and tho baptisms of their children nro re corded elsewhere. "Thoy emigrate to Canada or America, or go to England or Scot land and only tho old nro loft, Thnt is why there nro so many applicants for old ngo ponslons In Irolnnd, nnd It Is also why, as tho old folk dlo, tlioro nro no othora growing old to claim pensions In turn."
