' CORK— Death of a Well-known Citizen The death occurred on May 27 at his residence Sun View, Western road, Cork, of Mr. Laurence O'Sullivan, at age of 73.

Considering the large number of female patients in the hospital, this seems only fair, and already m Ireland several Unions have appointed ladydoctors. Interesting Presentation Very Rev.

Town Hall on May 24, - a resolution moved by the leader of the Opposition in the Commonwealth Parliament, was carried, giving the support Jot the meeting to the petition which is being addressed to his Majesty expressing disapproval of the -action of th«: House of Representatives in passing a motion in.- -favor of Home Rule for Ireland ; and whether, in view of the v fact that the motion of the House of Representatives has been printed as a Parliamentary paper, -he- .would - have tins and other resolutions of repMiation~~issued ' officially. Mr. Runciman .said that the Secretary of State oannot undertake to present .to -Parliament resold »* tions passed' at - public meetings in Australia, which are' not forwarded tohim by the Governor-General.

cially the mission yields ' 50,080 dollars, not including 5000 handed back to the sufferers from the Californian earthquake. - ' Sunday Closing' Mr. Sloan's Bill for extending Sunday closing .to the five exempted cities and the compulsory * closing dfliceascd premises at nine o'clock on Saturday, -evenings was carried in "the House of Commons by a Majority of f 94, and referred to'the . Committee on Trade .by- a. majority of 180. The measure, therefore, stands a' fair chance of becoming law ' this session. In -the- debate -w-hich took place on the Bill the members. for Dublin and Cork, who spoke, opposed the second reading • but it was supported by many members of the Nationalist Party and- by all the Unionist members. This division (s a ys the 'Freeman's Journal') opinion ' iairly reflects tne Trtt&lic mind upon the subject. There is no doubt anywhere of the beneficial effects of Sunday olosing outside the exempted cities. That system was established with the general assent of Irish opinion, and with the- support of the majority of the Home Rulers. The Laborers' Bill The attitude which the Irish. Party adopted towards the Laborers Bill introduced ny Mr. W,yndh a m -two years ago was triumphantly vindicated (says_the * Irish Weekly ) when Mr. Bryce brought in a Bill which in every respect was in remarkable contrast with the measure which the Irish Party declined to accept. Mr Bryce's Bill concedes the three points demanded by the' Nationalist members. First, that the laborers'should have the same financial terms -as the tenant-farmers : secondly that the laborers, like the farmers, should received a bonus or Exchequer grant ; and -thirdly, that the procedure should be cheapened, shortened, and simplified The financial provisions include a loan of four millions ana" a quarter, repayable in" sixty-nine years in annual instalments of £138,000, the interest be.rig 3* p^r cent instead of 4*.
