local members about 600 visiting women
were present. Three visiting state presi
dents were In attendance, M.as Hattje

Neb., past president of the Nebraska or
ganisation, was also a guest. A secret or

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.

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?"

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. But If a farming poll were I ,lni',e nl' A,ttr the tteD'lar-t had lntro

there can be little doubt that one-board
rule would be placed in extreme danger.
The Highland and Agricultural socie ty is I
strongly against any change of admlnla- '
tratlon, but the directors are puzxled and
scarcely know what to do. It la every- '
where admitted that central rule Is a gteat ,
Improvement on the old ha; py-go-!ucky I
methods of local authorities in dealing, for
example, with the diseases of animals. .
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.
No positive assertions can be made as t)
how much progress can be made along
j these lines until the tir.ai disposition Is

Dr. Scott to the Edinburgh presbytery
and approved by a large majority when li

their case. Employed at the Institution
for blind children, they said that even the
highest blind professors tsrned no more
than a pittance of UM. which was all thej
could asp:re to after twenty-five years'
service. W hen the conditions of modern
life were considered, how could they live
decently, marry and bring up their chil
dren oil such a sum? There were, they
added, blind employes who did not get a
sou more than ! per year. No. iheii
spokesman said, they were not ambitious,
but lUty wanted a little Justice for the
blind. As the treasury was not rich, they
would waive most of their claims for ths
present. All they would ask now was an
average Increase of Ho per annum. And
tue blind callers concluded by assuring
M. Clemenceau of their devotion to ths
government. There Is little doubt but
that the touching sppeal will be granted.
