Edifice Was About to Become a Pub.. lie Technical Institute. A, despatch from London says: Suffragettes tried to burn Lisburn Castle, County Antrim, Ireland, which was formerly owned by the late Sir John Murray Scott, who bequeathed about $5,000,000 to Lady Sackville, and over whose will there was a bitter contest last July. The castle was about to be- come a public technical institute. Inflammables and the usual Suffra- gette papers were found in the vicinity. The damage to the castle was slight. May Richardson, the militant Suffragette who slashed the Rokeby `Venue" in the Nationca Gallery, has been on a hunger strike since she was sent to jail for six mouths on March 12. The authorities have now resorted to forcible feeding. EAGER TO WORK : Ilealth Regained by Right Food.
