CORK— Death of a Leading Catholic The death is reported, at his residence in Queens^ town, of Sir James Carroll, chairman of the local District Council. A House with a History Mr. William O'Brien, M.P., has taken Rockforest, near Mallow, for the summer. Rockforest is the seat of Sir .lames Cottw, Bart., and is a \erv noble mansion on the Blackwatcr. The" house has a history, for it was at one time the residence of Lord T.udlow, regicide, who was so hated' hy the people that' it is' said, the crows never afterwards nested in or flew over the lands. His descendants, the Cotters, were strong on the people's side. Sir James Cotter was a gallant soldier of King James 11., and held Cork for that Prince. His son was, says the hostile FroucTe, ' a brilliant caivalier, rthe idol a nd darling of the Southern Catholics.' Tnis son was tried, convicted, and executed on the undoubtedly false charge of abducting a Quaker heiress. DONEGAL— Priests Honored Our Holy Father Pius X.

Death of a Convert A very old convert has passed away in the person of Mr. Henry Bedford, MA. It is over half a century since he was received into the Church. Born in London, he served as an Anglican curate in that diocese, ami was known as a pleasant wniter and an effective preacher. Having preached a sermon vv Inch was held to be l a3,vanced,' he was summoned by the Bishop of London to give an account of his creed, v\lt ( h the result tnat he soon followed the example of friends who had become Catholics.

Church Building: The Most Rev. Dr. Walsh, Archbishop of Dublin speaking at a, meeting held for the purpose of completing the Aughrim street church, said :— I think it is since I was! last amongst you here that a numlber of ousy<bodies ha\e been endeavoring, with supreme folly, and I may! add without a particle of success, to check tihe praisewiorthy^fforts of our people to provide themselves wMa chunches in which fitting provision may be made for the worship of Almighty God and for the discharge of their \arious religious duties. This topic is* one that for my part I have never thought' it 'worth while to refer to. 'i am satisfied to leave it, as I have had many opportunities of seeing that I am perfectly safe in leaving it, m the hands of the Cathohc laity to deal with «v, it debeiveb, in bu fai as they think it woith their while to deal with.it at all. It f recently becomes my duty to take part in parochial meetings, such as this meeting, held in connection with' the enlargement of an old church or of the buildfng of a now one. I always find that as a matter of course such an 1 occasion is seized iwon with ajvidity by one or more of the laymen who speak at the meetings to denounce the impertinence of those busybodies who seem never to tire of interfering in our religious affairs— affairs that in no way concern them— while they are notoriously, at least? some of them, leaving undone, or all but undone, their own proper (business— business that they are well paid for doing— but, to judge by results,, they soem practically incapable of doing, or even endeavoring to do in any seriouS practical way.

Russell, sub-sheriff, presented his Honor with a pair of white gloves. In acknowledging the presentation, his Honor said he looked" upon that county as occupying almost, if not altogether, the premier position in the respect of crime'essness. In County Louth over and over a2,ain — sometimes for the four seasons of the year— this was the case botjh in Drogheda and the town of DHmdalk, which comprised the greater portion of the county. It spoke well for the people, and it also spoke well for the prosperity of the county. At the opening of Drogheda Quarter Sessions his Honor also received white gloves, there being no prisoners for tnal.

WESTMEATH—A Convert to Home Rule At a meeting of the United Irish League, held recently in Mullingar, among the principal speakers was Sir Walter Nugent, who said that men of all classes and creeds are gradually coming to the conclusion that the present system of government in Ireland was a failure, and tihat Irishmen should be allowed to manage purely Irish affairs in their own way. Some expressed this desire of change by what was called ' De\olution,' and others by the words ' Home Rule.' For his part he thought it would be better if this ' play jypon words ' were ended and if all Irishmen whose views and aspirations are similar were united on one commo» platform and expressed themselves through some common channel. Mr. Redmond recently, in the House of Commons, gave a, definition of Ihe Irish demands which was sufficiently plain and sufficiently moderate to command the support of -any Irishman who believes in his country's rights, and, therefore, he thought that an organisation whose sole object is to advance those claims should be supported by all who believed in their justice.
