The village of Killarney is unattractix'e
and untidy, but it is a busy place. One
doesn't understand why in a country
wherp there is so much room to spare
that the villages should not be made up
of detached cottages, with gardens and
lawns, hedges and shade trees, instead of
sections of solid blocks, that look as if
they had been cut out of the tenementhouse
districts of crowded cities. Killarney
is a solid mass of brick and mortar,
with stuccoed fronts, painted a dingy
yellow, without the slightest thing to relieve
the monotony until the last house is
passed and the green fields begin.
A Great Tourist Center.
This is a great tourist center, and there
are a dozen hotels and boarding houses of
different pretensions and prices to be
found here. There are "licensed houses"
I and "unlicensed houses." and some of
Ciem arp licensed for seven clays in tiie ,
week, which means the proprietor has ?
permission to sell whisky and heer from 2 4
to 5 o'clock on the Sabbath day. Cook's '
excursion parties come in like swarms of 4
bees, buzzing around the hotels and (
shops wiiere laces and other curiosities ,
are for sale, and carry oft loads of queer ,
things as souvenirs. They breakfast at 7 <
o'clock in the morning, are piled into ?
great four-horse coaches by 9. and start ?
off on excursions with their luncheons in ?
baskets under the seats. They return at *
sunset completely tired out. but the next *
morning are off for Dublin or Glengariff. "
Tt is about as hard work to travel with an *
excursion party as anything I know of. t
for every moment must be economized ,
and everybody feels under obligations to ,
see everything. ?
Education and Paternalism. <
Killarney is quite an educational center
also Tiiere are several popular schools J
here and several monasteries. The Fran- ?
eiscans conduct a theological seminary
and the Christian brothers have a college ^
in connection with the cathedral. There ?
are two or three convents where young *
ladies are educated, and a large institu- *
Hon In which 21t> girls are being taught *

profitable occupation an Irish woman can ,
engage In. <
They have also a School of House- <
wlfery. conducted by the British govern- <
ment under the supervision of the minis- <
ter of agriculture at Dublin. Paternalism 4
is carried farther in Ireland than ' in 4
Switzerland. Germany or any other place '
I know of as you will admit when you J
hear that twenty-three rosy-cheeked. ]
blue-eyed mavourneens are being educated *1
at the expense of the taxpayers as do- J
inestlc servants. They are rescued from J
the filthy cabins in the mountains, washed
and clothed in neat liveries; natty little
muslin caps are pinned to their raven
tresses, frilled muslin aprons are fasten- <
ed to their frocks, and they are taught 4
how to wash dishes and cook and make '
beds and do plain sewing, dust the bric-a- '
hrac in the drawing room and courtsey ,
" when they are spoken to and say "Yes. ,
me ludy," and "Yes. me lord." They ,
learn to mend and embroider, to do up 4
hair, to fasten dresses and perform other ?
duties pertaining to the jurisdiction of a
lady's maid. After a year or so of this
training positions for them are found in
the households of the nobility, where they
will spend their lives as servants, marry
? footman or a game keeper, as will

Observations.
'this school is a great tiling for tlie '
Irish girls in the mountain cabins, whose ,
lives might otherwise be hopelessly sunk ?
in squalor and tilth that seem to be in- *
separable from the peasant population. I ^
have never been able to find anybody to
"xp'ain why an Irish farmer piles his *
manure in front of the only door to his J
cabin. It Is a habitual subject of witti- J
cism. just as it is in Switzerland, where j
similar customs prevail, but with thou- J
sands of acres of bare ground all around J
tiie cabin it would seem that-some other ;
place might be found. t
It occurred to me. too. as 1 was going
through tiie School of Housewifery that I
?>ui government might do worse than follow
tli example that Is found here and J
establish schools in the southern states *
for training colored girls in the same
w?\. hut I suppose the Supreme Court
would pronounce such a scheme unconstitutional.

Notable Men Born Here. J1
A house by the roadside, now occupied f,
hy a farmer named McSweeny. is pointed ^
out as the birthplace of Robert Km met. R
l,ord Kitchener was born about nineteen ^
miles from here at Crotto Houee, Tralee v
where his father arid mother were stop
ping for the summer. His father was a t
colonel in the army and on leave from .|
his regiment at the time of Kitchener's
birth. i:
The great Daniel O'Connell was also s
horn in the neighborhood. and his '
n?phew. Sir Maurice O'Connell, lives in a
stately mansion that overlooks the Lower s
l.uke in the midst of a beautiful grove.
Tnere th a poorhouse liere with o?JO
inmates, mostly aged men and women,
ripples and other incurables. And an
enormous insane asylum under the direction
of Dr. ICdward Gritfln.
. 11 is surrounded by a beautiful garden
and hedges In the midst of an estate of
Mxtj acres. It was opened in 18511. The
number of inmates last year was G17. of
? >'om were women and .'t'Jh men. During
the last six or seven years the number
?.f women lias largely increased. The
' * average age of the inmates is about v
thirty years. There are more young men J
'ban old men in the institution. Many a
a uses lead to insanity. r
A Sad Side of Life. ^
Whisk}, however, has little to do with t
the condition of the inmates, Last year (
only Ave men and two women were here
for that cause. Tea has a larger number
of victims in destroying the nervous
I 1
system by oxirssive ust*. The arger pro- '
portion of insane cotne front the country 51
districts, especially from the seacoast. t
Comparatively few come from the towns <
and cities. The greatest number are of
the farming and laboring classes, common
laborers and poor farmers with two acres
of land and two cows, who make up *
three-fourths of the inmates received last '
jear. Those from eertain districts were H
as a rule related, predisposition to in- 1
sanity being manifested in their fanti- 1
lies. The fa'ming class coming from the \
moors and mountains as a result of barren
soil and great privations, are in- ,
' lined 141 insanity because of their im- I
poverishcd condition of life. Their only '
food often is tea. bread and tobacco. The '
tirst treatment at the asylum is to give f
* them plenty of nourishing food and build t
them up. They are furnished meat every s
day except Friday. Religio s delusions <
have disturbed the minds 4>f many who "
fear thev are clamned forever and can- t
not enter heaven. They are hard to cure 3
and fhe slowest to recover. The influence >
of the chaplain in these cases is most i
beneficial, t'nder his ministration they <
receive temporary consolation, but aftey t

Increase of Insanity Alarming.
i discussing this subject with Mr. W.
Bailey, one of tiie commissioners in
rge of the administration of the land
, in Dublin a few weeks ago he exssed
the greatest concern because of
rapidly increasing number of Insane
pie and idiots in Ireland. He asserted
t the statistics were alarming. Alugh
the population of Ireland has deased
more than 45 per cent during the
L fifty years, the number of lunatics
I idiots has increased 400 per cent. By
ensus of 1851 the ratio was one insane
son to every 657 of the population; in
I the ratio was one to every 328; in
I it was one to every 222. and in 1001
was one to every 178 persons. Mr.
ley predicts that the census of 1011
I show a still greater increase. His
imates are based upon the number of
>eciles and insane under the care of
state, which now exceeds 25.0011.
Probable Causes.
Various explanations Hre given for
se appalling conditions." said Mriley;
"some say that they are due to
jffleient nourishment, and to the exces?
use of tea by the women of Ireland,
Ich destroys their nerves and underics
their constitutions. Others attribute
o alcoholism, which no aoiini is true,
lough hunger, nervousness atul intemance
are not the only causes that disb
and unsettle the minds of our people,
ave heard of rases being attributed to
Itical excitement, and 110 doubt that is
e, for there was nver a period in hisy
in which Ireland was without such
eason for Insanity. I have heard it
.1 also that emigration, which has
ined away the stronger and better elent
of the population and leaves behind
dregs and incapables. Is largely rensible.
but I think a very large portion
the insanity among people may be
ced to the loneliness of their lives and
want of mental employment among
residents of a large district in Ireland.

ward America; for then the people were
more numerous; they had more occupaj
tions and their lives were not so solitary.
"If you will study the statistics." continued
Mr. Bailey, "you will notice that
the largest number of insane persons
come from the pastoral counties, where
most of the land is given up to "attle,
and where there is the least population,
particularly those sec tions where the men
leave the cabins to the women and children
for several months during the year
and go to England and Scotland in rearch
of work.
"The districts which contain the large
towns have a lower ratio than those
which are chiefly rural. And it is an invariable
rule that the ratio of insanity increases
in the population diminishes. This
j tuiiauci very significant. 11 seems pon|
elusive that the alarming increase n lunacy
is due to the lack of intellectual oc1
cupation among a race whose imaginations
are proverbial for their fancies."

Veterans of the civil, Indian and Spanish
wars attended a meeting of .Gen.
William F. Barry Garrison, No. 26, Army

Strong: protest against the action of
the railroads In the southeastern terrt- w
tory In putting Into effect August 1 in- oi
creased rates on grain, grain products, ill
fresh meats, packing house products ahd In
hay, will be lodged with the interstate hi
commerce commission within the next '
two or three days on behalf of the ^
state railroad commission of Alabama, t*
This protest will be brought to the attention
of the commission in a formal ol
complaint against those railroads some- &
tfhat similar to the one recently filed rt
with the commission by the A. P. Morgan ai
Grain Company and others of Atlanta, sr
Ua.. and elsewhere, but will, it is under- T
stood, be couched in more vigorous lan- si
guage. "J
Notice of the Alabama railroad com- w
mission s intention to take such action w
was given to Chairman Knapp of the in- b<
terstate commerce commission when W. to
D. Nesblt and Samuel W. Weakley, com- ui
missioner and counsel, respectively, of
the Alabama railroad commission, mtoday
held a brief conference. Later they dis- tr
cussed with Judge Knapp the form of e*
complaint which they would file with the P'
commission. The complaint will also call w
attention, it is understood, to the increased
rates effective August lO in the
southwestern territory, which, the Alabama
commission claims, affects their ?y
state.
Commissioner Nesblt declared that the
increased rates would have a very injurious
effect upon the state of Alabama.
He asserted that the alleged T<
agreement between the traffic managers ec
to increase their rates on certain com- 8r
moditles constituted an illegal combine- .
tlon in restraint of Interstate commerce,
and in violation of the Sherman antl- n<
trust law. te
He also stated that the increase in rates f0
in some Instances was as high as 80 per a]
cent ___ th

Evening Post says: "It is announced today
on the authority of a close friend ?<f
former tiov. \V. 8. Taylor that Mr. Taylor
immediately p.fter the November ele. tion
will return to Kentucky from In|
dlanapolis for trial on the charge of complicity
In the ' Joe be 1 murder. It Is also
considered probable that the case, upon
change of venue, will be transferred t??
Jjouisville. Mr. Taylor has always stated
his willingness to return to Kentucky and
stand trial provided that he could secure
a fair trial and would be granted
bail.
"During his canvass for governor A. E
Willson stated that Mr. Taylor would
certainly return to Kentucky for trial if
he tWillson) was elected and that Mr.
Taylor would l>o given a fair trial.
"Information from Frankfort is that
Gov. Willson has decided not to bring
this matter up pending the campaign. He
is determined not to make the Uoehct
cases a political issue, and will take no
steps until the election is over. Immediately
after the election, however, he
will notify Mr. Taylor that the time has
come to face trial and dispose, in one
way or the other, of the charge against
Taylor."
