Irish Volunteers Denial of Ulster Echo Report
The War Office says no truth to claims the Volunteer movement will extend to Ireland and that such a scheme has not been considered or approved. A separate report notes a Lord Strathcona event at Queen's Hall with Pitman school prizes awarded to A C Dickinson and E C Hughes, with arrangements to reduce rivalry. A Sotheby's sale fetched 2500 pounds for a nearly 700 year old manuscript with 267 miniatures. An advertisement urges HUDSON'S SOAP for washing up breakfast and dinner resources.
