The defendant sold a certain pamph- let, which was described as "No. 1 of the Dungannon Club publications." Beneath the title of the club were the words, "Irishmen and the English Army; Some Reasons Why No ue Irishman Can Join the Army of Eng- land." In its opening passages the pamphlet' says : "There are but two parties in Ire- land, the Irish people and the Eng-! lish garrison. To tighten her hold on | the life of the Irish people, to keep them in subjection, to keep them poor and uneducated and miserable, that they may serve her interest better and ; their own worse, England keeps this | garrison in our country. "The garrison is divided into two sections, civil and military. The mili- tary garrison consists of an armed police force lodged in every village throughout the land, as a standing | army ol trained soldiery, and a navy, all, unfortunately, largely manned by renegade Irish, who have taken Eng- ish money to betray their country. "England has always sought to get ' the young men of our nation into her police force, her navy, and her army. They make soldiers second to none in the world, and by enlisting them in her service she not only fills the ranks of her o#n fighters, but takes away the young men and the strong from Ireland and leaves this land weak and defenceless. "Any Irishmen joining England's army, navy, or police force takes his stand in the camp of the garrison. He it a traitor to his country and an enemy of his people. "Any man entering her service be trays his own land ana goes over to her enemies. "Let England fight her own battles; we have done it long enough. ot her arm and drill the sickly popula- tion of her slums; let her fight for the extension of her empire herself, for tho men of the Gael are not going to be hribed into betraving themeelves and their country again at the bid- ding of England."

New York, Oct. 20--The army ord- pance experts have just concluded a series of experiments with a new shell flied with an anaesthetic, which, the inventor believed, was destimed to vob war of a great deal of its terrors, Ac- cording to his plan the enemy was to be bombarded with such shells which, upon exploding, would release a pow- erful anaesthetic tie would be powerful to put a whole regiment to sleep and make it pos ible to capture the soldiers without killing or wounding them. The experi- ments, however, did not bear out the correctness of the inventor's theory. The tests were made on the Sandy Hook probing grounds. The test re sulted in a flat failure.

While agriculture leads In the number of accid ats, the rajjway service is responsible for 18 deaths-- the greatest number of fatalities in any one industry. In addition to this death list 28 employes were severely injured. Railway fatalities have come to be re- garded with equanimity, as they are the inevitable results of our economy of time and money, 'nd our disregard of human life. While we are eager 10 make one track carry the traffic of two, while every minute of idleness in track, | in rolling stock, or in employes is; grudgingly counted; while the nerves of men in important positions are strained to the endurance point, there will be a continuous record of casual- ties. Of the fatal accidents two engl- neers and one fireman were killed In collisions, and three brakemen were killed by. falling between cars. In navigation there were eleven fa- talities during August. Four men were | drowned, four were killed by explo- sions on steamboats, and two were kill. | ed by falls into the holds of the ves- | seis on which they were employed. Two 5 disasters to fishing vessels resulted in | the loss of five lives. The building ' trades made a record of 35 accidents, | but of these only four resulted fatally. | { { { | They were nearly all attributed to falls, A comparatively new source of danger is revealed by the list of accidents in metal-working trades. Three electrical workers were ki®gd by veming in con- tact with live 'wires and one by the cave-in of a conduit. Mining claimed five victims, and there were in addition five cases of serious injury. The strict enforcement of the law requiring the reporting of all Industrial aocidents, and the monthly publication of totals as well as the investigation of all cases of suspected carelessness, have had a benefsial effect in impressing the need of care and watchfulness on the part of those responsible for the safety of workmen in dangerous occupations. There Is no remedy for that disregard of human life so frequently manifested in the taking of unnecessary risks and the neglect of simple precautions. While needless risks are taken there will be needless accidents occasionally. But the record can be minimized by careful surveillance and the enforce- ment of all preventive measures that experience has shown to be necessary. No Crime to Kiss In Quebes. A singular case of:litigation has just bean settled in Montreal, in which Mr. Justice Davidson finds that it is not an actionable offence for a man to kiss a woman in the Province of Quebec during the New Year festival, provid- ed the man and woman are acquainted with eaeh other and on good terms. The case arose out of an action entered by P. Brien, a grocer, to recover $300 damages from a commercial traveler named Lajeunesse. In the statement of claim it was set forth that on January 4 last Mrs. Brien was serving in the 1 store when in walked Lajeunesse, and | without invitation or provocation im- { mediately leaned over tHe 'counter and Kissed the lady twice. Mrs, Brien was greatly shocked, dnd as a result was 'OCTOBER 20, WE 75¢. unable to serve in the store for some time, at great inconvenience tp her husband. When the case xcame up for hearing the defendant claimed that the | kissing had been done without violence or resistance om the part of the lady and at a time only four days after New Years Day, when it is a French-Cana- dian custom for men and women ac- quainted to embrace if they feel so in- | clined. A local physician was examin- 3 ed in behalf of defendant, and he stat- ! ed that at that season of the year a simple act of osculation would not cause so severe a shock as had been set forth in the claim unless there had been in connection therewith sufficient violence to leave blue marks on the shoulders. There has been no evidence of blue marks, and nothing to show that the woman's health had been af- fected. In dismissing the action with- out costs Mr. Justice Davidson held that the plaintiff had greatly exagger- ated the incident; that the defendant had not intended to insult the lady, and that the only thing with which he could be approached, even according to the evidence of the plaintiff, was for pressing hard on the lips twice, instead of gently, and but once, according to custom, ---------------- Reverie of a Mosquito. "It's a hard row 1 have to hoe," sald the mosquito, "and for growling, this human race is the wonder of the uni- verse! I've got to live, as well as the rest of 'em; but if I approach a victim, and sing ere sting, he growls, and swears he wouldn't mind it so much if 1 didn't sing; then, if I steal upon him silently, he complains that he was hit without warning! And then, when the doctors can't discover a fever germ, they swear I'm at the bottom of the whole business, and have my pleture taken, and write books about me, and make national reputations at my ex- pense! But it's all right, I guess; and I reckon I'll pull through; I'm really an aristocrat in disguise, and good blood flowes in my veins--in fact, the best in the country!" Stealing Labor.

Ottawa, Oct. 20 There is no truth in the report from Manitoba that the Doukhobors havé been notilied to take ont their] naturalization papers within They two months or that their holdings will be given to others. When the Doukhobor communities were estab- lished in the North-West the new. comers were extended two privileges not accorded to other immigrants, fi n stead of being required to live on their respective homesteads and do so much work per year, these people were per mitted to live in villages, and instead of working individual home stead, were given to understand that it would be all right if they carried out their plan of gradually improving their lands in common. The Doukho- bors made their homestead ontries some time since, but cannot elaim the patents for their lands till they have become naturalized Canadian citizens and worked their land up to a certain point. Officials of the interior de partment were sent through the Douk- hobor villages this fall to find out how much the settlers had done on the lond. It is undesstood they have not done enough vet to entitle them to their patents anyway. but another dif fieulty acises from the fact that most of ths Doukhohors, on the advice of their leader, Peter Verigin, will not take out naturalization papers, fearing that it would make them liable to military services, in which their relig ious belisf forbids then to take part The minister of the interior ha made up his mind that the Doukho- bors have had favors enough already, so if they want to become the recog. nized owners of lands on which they are settled they will have to become Canadian citizens. A few among them are ready to accept the responsibllite any time, but Verigin and the reae- tionary element are still far in the majority. every ------------------ At the age of ninety-nine, Mrs. Henry White, pioneer settler of Gren- ville, has died at Bishop's Mills.
