HOME RULE
MEETING
AT KENDAL
A crowded Home Rule meeting was held in St.
George’s Hall, Kendal, yesterday evening. Mr.T.P.
O’Connor, M.P., speaking in support of a resolution
expressing unabated confidence in the remedial
Irish policy advocated by Mr. Gladstone, said it was
a singular fact that the Tories and Liberal Unionists
made very much of the charges brought by The
Times against the Irish party so long as the latter
took no notice of them; but that immediately that
party showed the least intention of meeting the
charges and putting them to the test of proof, their
opponents found their courage oozing out at their
fingers’ ends. As soon as the Irish party had an
opportunity of proving that the charges were false,
the whole tune and tone of the Unionists changed,
and they declared that the charges were trifling and
unimportant. With reference to the cry that Home
Rule would lead to separation, he said that the Irish
leaders had pledged themselves to a frank, candid,
and honest acceptance of Mr. Gladstone’s policy,
which provided for a subordinate Parliament.
TO THE EDITOR
OF THE TIMES
Sir, — Surely the time has come to grant Home Rule
to Ireland — to let the Irish people out from under
the heavy paw of the British Lion. After decades of
violence we should realise that continued resistance to
an idea whose time has come can only result in more
violence. Boycotts and assassinations will not cease
through an endless progression of Acts of Coercion,
Land or Arrears. We can only hope that the Lion will
soon release its prey — a prey which would certainly
prove more valuable if not completely devoured.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Dirken Topper
29, Brook Street, Grosvenor Square
TO THE EDITOR
OF THE TIMES
Sir, — Having agonised on what it takes to have you
print one of my many critical missives, 1 have changed
my tack to say how much 1 love everything — even
The Times.

RECENT EXCAVATIONS
IN EGYPT
At the London University College on Wednesday
afternoon, before an appreciative audience, Dr.
Ebenizer Turnbull delivered a lecture, which dealt
with the history of excavations, and the method by
which they may most profitably be conducted. Dr.
Turnbull and archaeologists James Windibank and
Andrew Weatherby are embarking this week on
a new Egyptian expedition, excavating Katebet’s
Tomb at the head of the Valley of the Kings near
Karnak and Luxor.
Saturday’s lecture was illustrated by photographs
thrown on a screen by the electric light which showed
vividly and distinctly not only the work done at its
various stages, but the modus operandi, the conditions
under which work of this character must be carried on,
and the instruments necessary for the purpose, and
enabled those present to realise that, in classical study
as in the sciences, there is an ample field of experiment
and discovery open to the individual.
Dr. Turnbull prefaced his lecture by an explanation
of the real objects of these excavations. In these
days, whatever might have given the first stimulus to
such efforts, the primary motive was certainly not
to find and keep treasure, any more than it was the
aim of the astronomer to possess a star. The modern
archaeologist was as little to be confounded with
the treasure-seeker as the mineralogist was with the
gold miner. His aim must be to restore to life the
monuments of bygone times, to bring vividly before
us the various phases of ancient societies, whether
civilised or uncivilised.

MYSTERIOUS
DEATH
Shortly after 9 o’clock yesterday morning the body
of a man about 30 years of age was found lying in St.
Georges Road, Southwark. A short time previously
the deceased, a sailor, supposed to be the captain of a
sailing ship, was seen being led in the direction where
the body was found by two women and a man. The
body had been robbed, even to gold earrings which
the man had been observed to have been wearing. Two
women of ill fame and a man described as a labourer,
but known to be the associate of bad characters, have
been taken into custody on suspicion of having caused
the sailor’s death. There were no wounds on the body,
and it is supposed that an overdose of some drug had
been administered.
APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC— The investigators
of Scotland Yard have appealed to the public for any

MR. GLADSTONE
Mr. Gladstone has sent the following reply to the
address in favour of Home Rule presented to him and
signed by clergymen of the Church of England: — 7
James Street, SW, Aug. 14
My dear Mr. Dean, — I have had the honour to receive
the letter addressed to me by a body of more than 250
clergymen of the Church of England, who in it have
strongly expressed their approval of the policy of
Home Rule for Ireland.
I rejoice to perceive in this list so many names, besides
your own, distinguished for sound judgement and
wide practical experience, for learning and ability, for
self-denying and devoted service.
Other names are known to me of distinguished men
who, without concurring in every phrase of this letter,
agree heartily in its cardinal proposition, or who,
having no scruple as to any of its expressions, have
shrunk from exposing themselves and their familiar,
or the work they have in hand, to the consequences of
a public declaration of this kind consequences known
to me in more than one painful instance.
I entertain a lively hope that reflection and further
information as to many odious proceedings now
carried on in Ireland and thinly covered (as has
for centuries been the estimated practice) by the
desecrated names of law and order will greatly widen
among the estimated clergy that which they have
already so much widened among our countrymen at
large the conviction that no honour and no advantage
can be gained by a continued refusal to accede to the
moderate and constitutionally expressed demands of
the Irish people.
I remain, with much regard, faithfully yours,
W.E. GLADSTONE
Very Rev. the Dean of Winchester.
ACCIDENT
ON DOCKS
Barry O’Neill, lion tamer for Roy Slade’s Wild African
Extravaganza, was injured yesterday as the show was
being unloaded at the London docks. It is unfortunate
that the spectacle, which will beat Hengler’s Circus,
will be opening tonight without one of its top-billed
acts. Mr. Slade assured us, however, that the show will
be “buzzing with excitement,” as always.
