His Views on the Questiou of Irish
Home Rale
.A.N1) OTHER INTERESTING TOPICS.
The I?art of Aberdeen and Lady Aber-
ays the Piot, were in Boston last
Moncley night, on their way lo the White
Mountains. They put up quietly at the
Vendome, but the ever vigilant Mobs
found them out and appealed, in the
person of Mr. C. C. Lynch, for an inter -
anew. The Earl of Aberdeen, it will be
remembered, is a dose friend. of Gladstone's
end an advocate of Irish Home Rule.
During his brief term of office as Lord
lieutenant of Ireland, he and his amiable
wife won and deserved to win the good will
and confidence of the Irish people We
append the Mobe's interview :
Of course your Lordship's connection
-with tine cause of Home Rule and the
policy of the Gladstonians qualifies you to
express opinions en these questions which
the Globe would be glad to present,"
"It does," he replied, "although, ea
gum at present out of public life, I simply
want to speak as an observer."
" What do you think of the prospect of
Liberal success ?"
"Excellent, sir, excellent. Two more
years and the present Parliament's lease of
life will expire by the seven years' limita-
tion of law.
" Throughout the domain the signs indi-
nate the defeat of the Conservative Min -
113
The English people love and revere
Gladstone, and the liberal educational
advancement of the people has grown into
a tido that no barrier of Conservative class
Ideas will be able to stem."
"Are the Irish people as strong in their
belief that Gladstone and his party are
;sincere in their devotion to the cause of
Home Rule as ever ?"
"Yes, they are, with, of course, a slight
defection of Mr. Parnell's personal fol-
lowers. I3ut outside of this there is that
sentiment in favor of it among the great
=asses of the English people that adds to
'tin brightness of its outlook.
"HOMO rule must come from England,
•Ana to -day the opinions of the common
Inside are the levers of public opinion."
How is the present dissatisfaction
among the members of the Irish party re-
garded in England ?"
"Certainly not with any diminishing of a
firm belief in the Liberal policy, enabodying,
as it does, the measure of Home Rule sought
for by the Irish people."
"Has Mr. Parnell's separation from the
liberals had any effect in causing the Liberal
party to lessen its desires to fight and work
for Home Rule?"
"No, •sir. We are just as strong for
Home Rule as ever. The Liberalparty, Mr
Gladstone or myself have not changed our
intentions one iota. Certainly, Mr. Glad -
atone se as enthusiastic as of yore in the
calm of Ireland. and Mr. Parnell's charges
eta disaffection make no difference regarding
the future policy."
"How do you regard ParnelPs present
strength?
"Wel?, you can judge of that for your-
self. The election of Sir John Pope Hennessy
and subsequent elections have shown that
he certainly is fast losing •the hold that he
once possessed."
"Do you think there is any possibility of
a• reconciliation between Mr. Parnell and
Gladstone ?"
"No; I do not understand the present
eircurnsances of the dispute between them,
and of Mr. ParnelPs charges made against
the ex -Premier. The action of Mr. Parnell
tbe opposition faction is not regarded
with the significance among English people
that it is here. Home Rule is wanted by
the Irish people, and. they certainly will
rally to a party that offers it to them."
The Earl then branched into the action of
he olergy in the recent split in the Irish
arty. He warmlydefended them.
have heard, since here, that the action
kef the clergy in taking part in politics has
been somewhat criticised, but any such
,criticism is unjust, for this reason. It is
mot the custom in America, I understand,
for clergymen to take part in politics. In
Ireland it is, and that is the difference.
"For years the clergy has been looked to
for advice on matters political. Nobody
attempts to discountenance it, and certainly
among the Irish they have always—not
by their own wish, but by the wishes of
-their people—acted as advisers in the
srlections.
"Now, when the trouble concerningMr.
Parnell took place, the clergy didn't jump
in and cry him down. They remained per-
fectly calm and passive.
"What did the Irish people do? They
saw the inevitable trouble ahead and
-matched with drooping spirits the approach
of a fierce internal dissension.
"As they have always done, they turned
t olvard the clergy, and the latter, forming
as they did such an important factor, were
:raked to -place themselves on record.
"If they had refused to interfere, or
hesitated after the eyes of the masses were
turned • toward them, people would say,
Why do you now hesitate?'
"There was never an instance when the
clergy were not the guiding spirits in Irish
politics, for Irish politics mean more than
they do here. They are something more
than what the word signifies, for they con-
cern the very liberty of the people.
"They took the only path open to them,
and that was the path that was directed on
the grounds of morality outside of any
other consideration. They certainly could
not indorse Mr. Parnell; do you think so?"
44 Now, you must let me do a little inter-
saleminig," said the Earl, "and I think yea
.mewspaper men certainly are the bestones
to t information from."
e then asked about the support that the
Nome Rule cause received in America ;
whether its sympathizers were confied to
people of Irishhirth or ancestry or not, and
of the feeling that existed against England
.and Englishmen in this country, if any
existed.
'When he was told that governors, sena-
tors, representatives, business men and pub-
lic men, without regard to political or race
oonsideratiens, were numbered among the
friends of Ireland, he expressed himself as
much pleaeed, and wheu the notable recep-
tion tendered to the Irish envoys in Boston
was de/scribed to him, his eyes faitly
.,twinkled with delight.
"As the Conservatiue party Stands to-
day," he Said, "Mr, Parnell's attitude
towercl them has mecle no bffect to any out-
ward appearance. They have not committed
themselves, and have notmade any advances
'to him to secure his EittppOrt."
With regard to the Behring Sea difficulty,
tbe Earl expressed the opinion that the set-
tlement of the controversy had been a satis-
factory one to all concerned. ,
He would say but, little regarding the
McKinley Bill.
"While I have no opinion to express,"
*amid, " I know there le a considerable
feeling among those interested in Canadian

affecting Canada's commercial interests
wore intended to force a comniereial intim

At this juncture the Countess entered
the room, and her husband introduced
her to the writer,
She appears to be about 35 years old,
rather stout, but with rosy cheeks and
beautiful eyes.
"I am soad to meet one of you newspaper
men," she Said.
She was thoroughly unpretentious and
joined heartily in the conversation.
She expressed herself in terms of enthu-
siasm over her proposed plan of conducting
a department in the World's Fair for the
display of Irish commodities.
" We want to encourage and foster the
industries of Ireland," she said, and 1 am
now making arrangements to that end."
The Earl and the Countess shook hands
with the reporter and wished him good-bye
as they retired.

Did you ever hear of the walking register?
It is a little instrument designed to measure
the ground covered by pedestrians. It is
the latest craze among St. Louis ladies who
wish to preserve their health and increase
their beauty by walking for the sake of the
exercise.
Finding that someone had invented a
walking register, they at once proceeded to
secure it. The device is like a little watch,
and can be easily fastened upon the garter,
svhcre it records every yard the wearer
walks, One young matron said a day or
two ago : "I had no idea how many miles I
walked until I gob my register, and now I
find that I walk more than is good for me.
Indeed, I walk miles sometimes, just about
my household duties. "—S'. Louis Post -

Education in Sweden.
Sweden stands behind no country, not
even the fJnited States, in popular educa-
tion. To this may perhaps be due the
superiority of the Swedish emigrant to this
country over emigrants from other
European countries. The number of school
children per 1,000 inhabitants is. 140.
Technical instruction, especially of women,
is a great feature. Fhe difficulties in the
way of school attendance are very great, not
only because of the severe northern winters,
but only because the people live to a large
extent on isolated farms.—Exchange.

Once upon a May day dreary, ...
She was working, weak and weary,
Down upon her marrows, mopping,
Mopping up the parlor floor,
While the mop went flipping,flapping,
Suddenly she hoard a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping,
Rapping at the parlor door.
"'Pis some visitor," she muttered,
"Tapping at the parlor door --
Gracious Peter, what a bore 1"
Up she jumped, and nearly sweating,
Hastily began preparing
To appear as women wish to
When the callers lobk them o'er ;
Yanked her apron off and slung
Snatched her headgear off and liung it,
Grabbed a dolman up and flung it
O'er the greasy gown she wore.
Then she found. a plaguey peddler,
Standing at the parlor door—
Only that and nothing more.

"THE TWO MASTERS,"
Samuel Grie;g Tells the Loudoners HOW Ile
Served Both.
STORY OB AN EX-HOTELRREPER.
(London Advertiser.)
"In all my life I have never had such an
honor conferred upon me es I have to -day,"
said Sam Grigg on Sundey afternoon as he
faced several hundreds of people in Victoria
Hall, both auditorium 8,nd gallery being
crowded with men of all ages.
"There is no person who does not recognize
me and does not know what 1 nave been.
There is no denying the fact that I am just
what I am. There was a time when I felt
I wanted to be somebody eke, but now I
thank God for being what I am and
nothing less. It's a grand thing to be that
way, and it took me some time to find it
out.
" If I were an eloquent speaker, it would
be unnatural, and God does all things
naturally,. I am not a man of great educa-
tion. I have had no tutors. God has been
my teacher, and I stand here to -day,, inde-
pendent of any man, any " ism, any
doctrine—just as I am and what I am. I
say it boldly. I must say it; for God has
said in his precious word, He that loveth,
me shall cast out all fear of men.' The
trouble is there are too many afraid of men.
I have been 32 years in the hotel business
with those who knew nothing of God's
teachings, and I was far from understand -
his precious word. Now I find it Very easy,
have often made the remark that a little
good whiskey would do a man's heart good.
Well, so it does for a time ; I believe it
saved my life once. But the religion gives
peace. The other unrests you—you don't
feel well next day; but this is as if you had
gained a victory.
"You can't serve God and mammon.
It's all right to have plenty of the world's
goods, but if they make a slave of you then
it's wrong, and there are lots of men in
that fix. I wish I could burn into the
heart of every man here the text that first
caught me. I bless God for the catching,
for it stuck into my heart. But seek ye
first the kingdom of God and his righteous-
ness, and all these things shall be added
unto you.' Some people have not time for
religion week days. They display it all on
Sundays and cry Our Father' while the
rest of the week they go about orphans.
"There are men who don't believe in
sudden conversion. Some of my old friends
won't speak to me Sine° 1 took this stand.
They point me out on the streets as a
hypocrite. 'Did you hear the news,' others
say; Grigg's gone out of his min.: he's
crazy—he's turned to be a crank.' I thank
God for the crank if serving the Lord Jesus
Christ is to be a crank! I am satisfied.
Things I used to like I dislike now. I want
to testify that once I was blind and now I
can see.
"I carried on the hotel business
honestly, and there are many in my tra,cle
that deserve a great deal more
credit than they get while endeanor-
ing to raise their families properly
and do what is right. By some
people they have been injured in
many respects, not with intention, but for
want of knowledge of the nature of the
business. I served one master—theworld
—for 43 years, and the last two years I
have been endeavoring to serve the Lord
Jesus Christ. He took me ou+ of that
business, but it took me some time to
realize his way of doing things. The two
years I have served the Lord have been
worth to me more than all my life—and I
have had some trials, too.
• "11 you start out for Hamilton you can't
go to Windsor; yet there are many people
with their mouths one way trying to go
the other. There are some who pat me on
the back and say, Go on, Grigg, you're
doing well,' and at the same time run book
and hide behind a stump while others do
the fighting. I have spent $5,000 getting
out of the hotel business, although I strove
hard against it. I do wish I could tell you
the joy of this glorious religion. Some one
has said : 'If all the water of the earth were
ink, if all the feathers were pens, and all
the people writer, they, could not tell the
blessed love of o* Lord Jesus Christ.'
"Like others, I , had my worldly aspira-
tions. I was going to be the richest man in
this city; but God ordered otherwise. I
lost a goo i deal of money, and it was the
best thing ever happened me, otherwise I
might not have been here. Don't let whis-
key, cigars or money run you and make a
slave of you. God wants to honor you and
then you will be an honor to him. 1 don't
know that I have carried his message. I
hope to say something in future, and I am
thankful to meet those who are here."

A clergyman well known to Buffalo people
says that when the Lord made him he forgot
to put any pegs in his mind on which to
hang the natnes of his acquaintances. He
can remember faces, but not names. He
became pastor of a large church a few
months ago, and after discharging his duties
long enough to know his sheep by sight
he was visited one evening by a lady
whom he knew well, but whose name
he could not, for the life of him, recall.
Wishing to be reminded of it with-
out exposing his ignorance he said:
"Let me see, ah—how do you spell your
name?"
To which she replied, with reproachful
dignity:
For a moment the clergyman was floored,
but he rallied quickly and escaped rebuke
by rejoining
"Oh, then you don't spell it with a y ?"—

The House concurred in the Senate
amendments to the bill respecting the Baie

Sir John Thompson moved the second
reading of the bill respecting frauds upon
the Government.
Mr. Mills (Bothwell) aslesd what the
Government proposed to accomplish by the
bill other than theprotection afforded by the
present law.
Sir John Thompson said that this bill
went further than the present law, as in
addition to it being an offence to bribe or
attempt to bribe a public officer it wouldbe
made an offence for a public officer to
receive a gift. Under this bill it would
not be necessary, in order to make such an
offence punishable, to prove injury, actual
fraud, or even fraudulent intent. The re-
ception of a gift under such circumstances
was made punishable.
The bill was read a second time.
Mr. Dewdney moved the second reading
of the bill to amend the Dominion lends
Act.
• Mr. Davin said he had not an extravagant
reverence for the administration of the Do-
minion lands.
The House went into committee on the
bill and reported progress.
The House adjourned at 11.05 p. m.
Another New Move.
The National Anti -Nuisance League,
with W. Jennings Demorest behind it as a
promoter, is the name of a new organization
at New York, whose work will be the
proving before the courts,by suits in equity,
injunctions and for damages, "that the
fascinating, acrid and deadly poison of alco-
hol is the most dangerous enemy of our
health, homes and country—a public nuis-
ance, and as such to be abated.'
This declaration of purpose has the merit
of novelty as well as truthfulness, for it is
proposed by Mr. Demorest and his followers
tos,senale abe outlawing of alcohol, both
'o its manufacture and sale on
the ground solely of its being a
poison. It is said that the society expects
to influence the courts by arguing
that the investigations of Pasteur, Baron
Liebig and other eminent chemists demon-
strate that alcohol is the excrement of
microbes; that it is a deadly poison, and
that it should be legislated against just as
opium and other poisons are when used
except by order of physicians. There is a
good legal backing for this sort of crusade
against alcohol found in the recent decision
of the Supreme Court of the 'United States
•which declared in the Kansas case:
"No Legislature ca,n bargain away the
public health or the public morals. The
people themselves cannot do it, much less
their servants. Government is organized
with a view to their preservation and can-
not divest itself of the power to provide fax
them."—Exchange.
Total Abstinence for Clergymen.
Father Mani at the National Temperance
Corp'-, s•. held in Port Richniond,laat week,
declared for a total abstinence movement
among clergymen. He said, "Catholic and
Protestant clergymen ought to unite in
this in order to save their flocks from wide-
spread ruin and moral degradation resulting
from the use of alcohol. The pulpit, in
order to mass the forces against the liquor
traffic, ought to become itself totally
abstinent. Clergymen professing to lead
intellectual and spiritual lives, with com-
fortable surroundings and pleasant homes,
cannot effectively teach total abstinence to
those thousands of hard-working laborers
and mechanics living amidst poor and
and unhealthy surroundings, unless they
practice what they preach."

A South Illinois street druggist man
worked a novel cigar-selline scheme a few
weeks ago in the following fashion' says the
Indianapolis Sentinel. He founda stray
nickel on the floor of his store one morning,
and resolved to post this notice on the win-

"A surti of money found on Tuesday last
in this establishment. The owner will
receive same within upon describing the
money."
The scheme worked like a charm. Hun-

plicant for the lost money bought a cigar.
Some were satisfied with 5 cent straight
whiffs, but the great majority, anxious to
impress the drug man favorably towards
their claims, invested in two for a (marten
So great was the rush that the fortunate
druggist had to order a fresh consignment

ever applied for the nickel. All the claims
ran up into the hundreds of dollars, one

markable how beneficial Hood's Sarsa-
parilla is in this enervating state. Pos-
sessing just those elements which the
system needs and readily seizes, this
medicine purifies the blood, and im-
parts a feeling of strength and self-con-
fidence. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best
remedy for that weakness which pre-
vails at change of season, clitna.te or life.

"1 believe it is to the use of Hood's
Sarsaparilla that I owe my present
health. In the spring, I got so com-
pletely run down I could not eat or
sleep, and all the dreaded diseases of
life seemed to have a mortgage on my
system. I was obliged to abandon my
work, and after seeking medical treat-
ment and spending over $5o for different
preparations, I found myself no better.
Then my wife persuaded me to try a
bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Before
the first bottle was gone I began to
amend. I have now used two bottles
and have gained 22 pounds. Can eat
anything without it hurting me ; my
dyspepsia and biliousness have gone.
I never felt better in my life." W. V.

" Early last spring' I was very much
run down, had nervous headache, felt
miserable, and all that. I was very
much benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla
and recommend it." Mks. J. M. TAY-
LOR, 1119 Euclid Ave., Cleveland, 0.
" I was very much run down in health,
bad no strength and no inclination to
do anything. 1 have been taking
Hood's Sarsaparilla and that tired feel-
ing has left me, my appetite has re-
turned, I am like a new man." CHAVN-

IIBBIED ENDER JET.
Women's Get•Ep WJ1I Abound in This
Ornament.
Fair Nyman's outfit will be weighted
dowxt with jet the coming winter. The fad,
which has assumed the proportions of a
well-developed craze in the west, had its
origin in the spring of this year, when the
narrow jet edges sprang into popular favor.
At that time the Parisian designers, the
parents of all fashions, set their wits at
work, and, as a result, we have such gor-
geous combinations of dress goods and jet
passementerie as are well calculated to throw
the devotees of fashion into paroxysms of
ecstatic delight. This innovatien has
caused the manufacturers of jet ornaments
in this country to bestir themselves and
they are now engaged in manufacturing
cheap imitations of the French article to
supply the demands of the poorer lovers of
fine dress.
During the months of June and July the
sales in the dress trimmings departments of
the large stores in this city increased nearly
50 per cent., all of which was due to the
demand for jet trimmings. There are girdles
of jet, Henry II, Medici and Bolero collar-
ettes, stomachers, band trimmings and
fringes, ranging in width from three to
thirty-six inches, and nail -head beads in all
the designs and shapes imaginable. The
large jet buttons, so popular many years ago
are also being revived.
The new ornaments will be used on fabrics
of all varieties, Crepe de Chine predominat-
ing, and the black paesementerie will show
to particular advantage on the new shades
of brown. There are also manufactured jet
ornaments of all colors, to suit the tastes of
the lovers of gaudy apparel.
The freaks of fashion are well instanced
here, for the more elegant and costly the
garment the more uncomfortable is it, since
the jet paseementerie is naturally heavy.
The simplest gown adorned with jet trim-
ming will cost not less than $50, while the
naost elegant will entail an outlay of many
hundreds of dollars. At one of the most
prominent Chestnut street establishments
recently a "mass" or 1,200 nail -head beads
were sold, to be used in the adornment of a
single garment. Some of the broadest
pieces of jet trimmings for skirt garniture
are sold at fabulous prices, one, for instance,
costing $45 per yard.
A fall outfit recently ordered by a promi-
nent belle of up -town society will cost
many thousands of dollars. It consists of a,
tea -gown, visitina costume, walking dress,
afternoon reception gown and a ball dress,
all ornamented with jet. The ball dress is
to be a marvel of elegance, being of white
satin, thickly overlaid with white jet passe-
mentrie, with thick jet fringe and pendant
ornaments looped across the front. White
satin slippers tipped with white jet beetle
will incase the feet, and a glittering aigrette
of white jet will glisten in the head-dress
of the fair belle. A far) of white lace inlaid
with diamonds and white jet beads puts
the finishing touch to n most gorgeous
costume.
