"On Friday last a centenarian passed away at Whithall, Galway,
in the person of Mrs. Catherine Hynes, who had attained the
remarkable age of 102. The old lady had a remarkably retentive
memory, recalling with ease incidents which occurred three
generations ago. Her recollection of Cromwell's campaign was
particularly clear."--_Connacht Tribune._
"The other alien peer is the twelfth Viscount Taaffe, of the
Irish peerage, an Austrian subject, as his predecessors have
been since their estates were confiscated by Cromwell after the
Battle of the Boyne."--_Sunday Times._
The late Mrs. HYNES was perhaps the authority for this statement.

"ALLIES' WARSHIPS KEEP TURKS ON TENDER HOOKS AT
GALLIPOLI."--_Express and Echo (Exeter)._
This is rather hard on the enemy, who thought the Allies had taken their
hook long ago.
