. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1917. ANCIENT CUSTOM 5 PERFORMED “Lord Mayor of Cork Throws the Dart Into the Harbor Cork, Sept. 28 (Correspondence).— The members of the Irish Convention braved the dangers of mines and “submarines a few days ago when they went by steamer to the entrance of Queenstown harbor and watched the lord mayor of Cork perform the qualnt and ancient custom of throw- ing the dart into the sea to define the limits of his authority as admiral ; of the port. This practice originated in a char- ter granted to the city by King Henry Seventh in 1500. It prescribed that évery three years the ceremony be performed at a point three mils out- side the harbor. This time, however, owing to sub- marines and mine menace, the mayor winked at the custom and to the great relief of his five hundred guests, satisfied tradition by casting the dart at the very mouth of the harbor. Irishmen of all creeds and classes sat down to luncheon served on board. Noblemen broke bread beside the democrat and all seemed on good terms. The protestant archbishop of all Ireland sat beside Catholic Arch- bishop Harty, of Cashel, while beside John Redmond were the FEarl of Granard and Viscount Middleton. After toasts had been drunk to the | and king and success to the convention, THORROUGH WORK How a New Britain Citizen Found Freedom From Kidney Troubles. If you suffer from backache— From bladder disorders— Any curable disease of the kidneys. Use a tested kidney remedy. Doan’s Kidney Pills have been test- ed by thousands. New Britain people testify. Can you ask more convincing proof of merit? Miss K. Welch, 40 Sexton St., New Britain, says: “I was troubled co:i- siderably by dull palns across the small of my back and I think they were brought on by my work as I had to sit down all day. It was a contin- ual, dull pain and made me feel tired worn out. Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me and I have had faith in them ever since and always speak highly of them.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. — ey Sir Horace Plunkett made a hopeful speech on the convention’s prospects. ““We have passed one very important stage,” he said, “and are moving on to the next. All we ask is patience and credit for our good intentions. At the worst we shall have narrowed the differences which keep Irishmen apart. Irishmen of North and South will continue to meet on better terms | than they ever did before.” Several hundred persons lined the Cork dock to cheer the delegates as they remarked, Redmond receiving repeated friendly demonstrations which almost drowned a few hisses from isolated groups of political op- ponents, After a trip down the picturesque river Lee to the Atlantic without in- cident, on return a halt was made at | Queenstown where the delegates were entertained at the oldest yacht club in the rld. > o~ NOSE CLOGGED FROM , A COLD OR CATARRH Apply Cream in Nostrils To Open Up Air Passages. ——— Ah!

Paris, Sept. 30.—To prevent’ mem- other public office, elective or nom- inative, or from participation in busi- ness dealings with governmental de- partments, a bill has just been intro- duced into the chamber of deputies. This bill is supposed to have been { provoked by recent revelations and ! rumors regarding the participation by | members of parliament in business | transactions with different branches of the French government, neutrals, and it is asserted, even with Germany. At present the same person may be minister; mayor of a town and a member of the general council of _his department. There is nothing which bers of parliament from holding any | at the same time a deputy or senator | prevents him from engaging in busi- ness enterprises with the state, de- partment or communal administra- tions. This bill is intended to pre- | vent cumulative office-holding, except- ing that deputies and senators may still become ministers. TO PTROTECT MONUMENT. Armor of Bags of Sand Now Protects It From Bombs of Enemy. the Assoclated Press) Venice, Sept. 30.—Measures for the | protection of Saint Mark's, the most ‘ffln‘mus monument of Venice, from {the enemy’s bombs have now been completed. The face and sides of the cathedral are enclosed by an armor aof bags of sand held in place by scaf- folding which is lined with asbestos ias a protection against incendiary bombs such as the one that fell a vear ago within a few yards of the main entrance. The mosaics, both inside and out, are protected from rushes of air that ! might result from explosions by can- vas stretched beneath them which would serve also to catch all the frag- ments that might fall and preserve them for restoration. All precious objects and works of art that could be Temaved, including the four collosal Greek horses on the facade have been removed to safety in the treasury of the basilica which has been transformed into a strong- room, stoutly arranged. Those in the interior that could not be removed 1 have been covered with mattresses stuffed with seaweed around which are piled buttresses of sand bags. | (Correspondence v* 1 The high altar beneath which Saint Mark is buried and the tomb of An. drea Dondolo have been protected in this way. The domes of Saint Mark have received a thick coating of liquid cement which, hardening, constitues an armor, while the wooden portions have been treated with a non-inflam- mable liquid Are Told How to Find Relief from Pain. - Nashua, N.H.—“I am nineteen years old and every month for two years I had such pains that I would often faint and have to leave school.
