I. E. O. Holds Big Meetlaar. Over 2no delegates attended the annual convention of the Iowa grar.d chapter of the P. E. O. sisterhood held recently at Des Moines. Chapter Q of Des Moines was hostesg, t being the largest chapter in erlstence. enrolling over 1 men.bert. Or.e hundred and sixteen chapters w-re rep resented at the convention, and besides the local members about 600 visiting women were present. Three visiting state presi dents were In attendance, M.as Hattje IJttl of Geneva. Neb.; Mrs. Emily Cos tigan of Denvtr and Mrs. Grace Parks of Chlcagt). Mrs Carrie Peterson of Aurora, Neb., past president of the Nebraska or ganisation, was also a guest. A secret or ganisation, the sessions of the convention afford little of interest to those outside the membership, but the story of the sis terhood Is most Interesting. Organised In January. by seven girl friends, schoolmates at Mount Pleasant, la..

The election of Mrs. Gertrude Naah of Audubon to the presidency of the Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs waa a fit ting close of the federation's biennial con vention held last week at Oskaloosa. Mrs. Nash has for several years been one of the foremost club women of Iowa and will be an able successor to the several strong women who have preceded her in the presidency. Mrs. J. J. Seerley of Bur lington, her immediate predecessor, was elected two years ago at Waterloo, but It has been customary for the Iowa presi dents to serve but one term. The Oskaloosa convention was one of the largest yet held. Among the important resolutions to come before It was orje pro viding for the substitution of a federation lecture bureau for the reciprocity commit tee. The lecture bureau Is one of the newer plans among stats federations and where It has been adopted has been of great value to club women. Invitations have been extended from Ottumwa and Daven port to the next biennial and the choice will rest with the executive committee. D. A. R. Election.

LINE IS TWELVE VILES IN LENGTH Represeated Investment ef Nearly gCtoo.ono Capital karriked la Dahlia Roosevelt Pops lar la Ireland. Pro UN". May (Special. . e--en the most original and Inventive of the pur lolnrrs of other people's property, whose careers Illuminated the pages of "The Chronicles of Newgate,"' had probably no conception to daring as the thelt of an entire railway. This has, however, actu ally been accomplished right here In Ire land. The story of how the derelict Birr A Parsontown railway was literally stolen "off the ground" was told by Wil liam Townend Trench, deputy lieutenant of Portumna, and as related in detail moved the railway commission on Irish railways to alternate merriment and In dignation. Twelve miles In length, the line wae built in 1Mb and worked by the Great Bo-Jthern company, nearly $.",00,o capital being subscribed locally and by the Board of Works and the working company. The books, said Mr. Trench, had disappeared and nobody knew what had become of them. After the Great Southern pave It tip mortgagees took possession, but did not work the railway. Then the people began to steal the wire. The property was as sessed for rates by the county authorities and the rates got Into arrears because there was nobody who would pay them. The cotir.ty collector seized some of the rails end tried to sell them at auction, but nobody w-i'jld buy them. A great deal of pilfering went on. The chairman (Sir James Fcotter) re marked: "This Is rnojt extraordinary the people of this dtrict saw this line grad ually disappear and they took no action." People Took a Bridge. "Tea. they did. they took a bridge." re plied Mr. Healy. at which there was plenty of laughter. However, Mr. Trench explained: "Oh. no. the police prevented tne brldre from hcing taken. The brMge spanned the RIvfT Brosna. nenr Birr, and after this looting of the railway a man came down with cranes and other apr'isnces. intend ing to carry away the metal girders, but there was a police station at Rlventown, close by. and a sergeant of police took it upon himself and prevented him from carrying It away." The story as told In detail was that the line wss controlled by the Great Southern & Western company under a working agreement; the capital was raised by local subscriptions and by loans from the Board of Works and the Great South & West ern company. The line did not pay the railway company, snd when their leae expired In 1ST5 It declined to renew It and took away Its rolling stock. The loan commissioners exercised their rights over the line; for five years from 1ST8 to S3 they had a staff of mllesmen snd houses w,ere occupied by them; then people began to steal the wire. After a while the line eonmmenced to disappear very rapidly. "Do you mean to say." Inquired Sir Charles Bcotter, "that the shareholders took no acUon to bring this before the government or the publio loan commis sioners, or some publio authority, or any body, or were they all asleep?" Shareholders Kept Oat. They thought there might be some lia bilities for It," said Mr. Trench, the wit ness, "and that they would be liable them selves If they moved In the matter." The court of criminal appeal bill dot not In Its present form extend to Ireland and many sre the assertions that It ought to be looked after In connection with the present home rule legislation by Parlia ment A question has been placed on the paper by an Ulster member, inoulrlng whether the bill is eventually to be ex tended In Its provisions to Ireland. The criminal law Itself, and. more Important still, the administration, are so different hi Knrland and Ireland that provisions calculated to secure fairness of trial and liberty cf the subject In England, it is argued, might be perverted Into Instru ments of injustice In this country. To one provision in the bill, the power of the Judges of the proposed court of criminal appeal not merely to reduce, but to en large sentences from which an appeal Is taken. It may be confidently stated that there will be no little discussion. When the late County Court Judge Webb In 1W Increased on appeal the sentences of re movable magistrates under the Jubilee co ercion act Mr. Gladstone ssid, without fear of successful contradiction. In the House of Commons in April, 1S8: "Not a single Instance can the law officers of the crown produce of the enlargement of a criminal sentence on appeal, and 'will you stand by without protest when, for the first time within our knowledge, this remarkable practice has been Introduced?" Irish Admirer of Roosevelt. The Freeman's Journal of Dublin Is a great admirer of President Roosevelt, In a recent editorial that publication de clares: "The greatest ruler the earth knows today Is Theodore Roosevelt, the president of the T'nited States of America. He does not reign, but he rules. He is the chosen and the trusted h ad of the most powerful state on the globe. He posseasu an authority far higher Than arms or power of brain or birth CoulJ give the warrior kings of old. "He wields the intelligent strength of a great republic.

EDUCATION CF CATHOLICS Question Whether They Shall De Given Special Srhools Is Dlsenssed. GLAFOOW. May IS. Prolan. The reso lution of the Glasgow school board to es tablish special schools for Roman Catho lics' physically defective children snd also dsy industrial scnools of the sime de nominational character Is regarded as a startling innovation by many, and the de bate was accompanied by a rather lively discussion. There Is a feeling that a cen sus should be taken to enable the rate pavers to deter-r.ine Ju?t how many chil dren are affected Then there Is the au thority of M:ss Ttannatyne for sa':ng that the Roman Catholics have beta taking advantage of certain provisions already mnile bv the school board for mentally and physically defective children, ttiat the trusnt school, which Includes hth Catholic and Protestant beys.

It Is now claimed that the cleansing of the Leven presents no such appalling difficulties as need deter the local authorities If they care to ad dress themselves to the task. What was expected to be the chief topic of discussion at the last meeting of the Glasgow corporation, the proposed Chicago excursion conducted under the auspices of the American consul to investigate the conditions under which is prepared what Mr. Battersby described as "tin can meat." did not provide even an interesting debate. Mr. Eteele hurriedly withdrew his motion in favor of the expedition and the entire project was abandoned. One debate, which is by no means at an end, is that raised in many Scottish quar ters as to whether Scotland should have a board or department of agriculture. Those who are In favor cf one supreme board In London are wont to forecast a plethora of evus irom even a modification of cen trallied rule.

It is argued that an Independent beard I of agriculture IVr Scotland would almost to a certainty wo.-k htrm, especially if a cry of pleuro penumonia, or foot and I mouth disease, were raised. Considering the stock traffic, It Is believed that many of these Important questions might cause friction between the ncrth and the south. On the other hand. It Is argued that the proposal to have a strong subdepartment of the Board of Agriculture in Scotland Is one which Is not likely to arcusa much friction In debate. A Scottish vice presi dent of the Board of Agriculture, with a staff of officers completely at home with Sottish life. Is believed to have possi bilities for good. Another Question which In a larger and a broader sense Is Interesting Scotland la the question of a reunited Scottlsn church.
