Believed to Be the Same Young Man Who Worked Similar Game in Kingston on Tuesday--Had Gro- ceriés Sent to Resident and Pre- sented a Cheque. A young man placed under arrest at Brockville on Thursday is believed to be the same young fellow sho swindled the grocery store.of James edden & Co. out of $15 on Tues day by cashing a bogus cheque. The young fellow played a similar game in Brockville as 'that pulled off in Kingston.. The Brockville Times of Thursday says : This morning a young man entered the store of F. H. Clifford. and ordered groceries 'to the extent ofv#8,/ $tipulating that they be sent to al well-known resident of the town. In payment of the order "he Present- od a cheque in favor of Henry Mil ler drawn to $20. Mr. Clifford paid "him the amount of the note, deduct: ing the $3 for the groceries, and the man left the store. After his depar- ture Mr. Clifford became suspicious, and took the cheque to the bank. My. McClellan 'phoned Kingston to see if the account was correct, and dis- covered that the man had worked the same game there, getting away with $15.

London; June 26, --= William O'Brien, in a letter to the Morning Post. addresses an earnest warning to British politicians, liberals. or unionists, who think they see' in any compromise under the amending bill any hope of peace. He says that the amending bill starts hope- lessly on the wrong track. It kills home rule under the perfidiohs pre- tence of enactihg it. Even Pitt's act of union left Ireland as a sacred entity around which to centre un- conquerable hopes, and it remained for a home rule government te rend her by statute into two separate Ire- lands" © He affirms that any compro- mise of which the bill is susceptible will be viewed by the Irieh with de- testation no less ineffaceable than that with which France thinks of Alsace or with which Englishmen would receive the proposals under German dreadnoughts to cede Kent and Sussex. He says: "A peace conference, though a desperate rem- edy, is thé only escape from a still more desperate calamity. Let: the house of lords instead of consummat- ing the partition of Ireland through the bill propose an all-party conven- tion. and adjourn the consideration of the home rule bill with the repeal- (ing bill for three months, pending a report." The Post editorially disagrees with the suggestions, declaring unionists cannot consider a com- promise with a policy striking both directly and indirectly at the unity of the United Kingdom. There would be no settlement unless the issues were submitted io the judg- ment of the people. ' INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. Newsy Paragraphs Picked Up by Our Busy Beporters .
