P o o r Opinion in C a n a d a of

from t h e South of England. Is the south of England too slow? It has long been admitted that the northerner is, on the- whole, a harder worker and, a keener business man than the southerner, and now it seems that the Irishman,"too, is beginning to beat him in the race of life.' A Winnipeg correspondent of TJie Daily Mirror says that the slowness of the southern Englishman is becoming proverbial in Canada. - -. " Men fromthe south of England do not compare favourably with the Ipsh, for instance, out here," he writes. " They_ are slow to seize opportunities, and they lack initiative compared with' people from other parts of the Empire, " The Irish are particularly going ahead, and it looks.as"if the one-time tide of Irish emigration to the United States is now beginning to flow towards this country. " There are now many , well-to-do farmers in Canada who had previously failed to ' make good' in small holdings in Ireland. " F o r all-round ' go-aheadness' the Irish settler is well in front of the average Englishman from the southern shtres. ,. " Thisj remembering that the south of England is essentially agricullural, is rather astonishing,"'' Inquiries made by Tlie Daily Mirror bore out this correspondent's statement. " I t is quite true that emigrants from the south of England are slow in comparison, with emigrants from other p a r t s , " said a Canadian immigration official. , " Why it should be so I cannot say, but perhaps they cannot shake oft the sluggish tendency in th'eir nature acquired fxoin theit early environment in a mild, rather easy-going part of the country.' " N o 'county' statistics of emigrants are kept, but the following taljle shows how many people left the.

(FfiOM CUB SPECIAt -OORBESPONDENT.) Hofi-SHAM' (Susses):, May, 29.A depd of exceptional bravery ^as'JAist been performed.in the village of Southwater by- a lady over eighty years of age. Mrs. Custance, the aged widow of the- late GeQ^ral Custance, saved her son's life.by divert iag itOTd him to herself the iierce attadt of a maddened bull. Captain CuEtance vras leading a young, valuable pure~-bred Jersey liull [ a breed noted for its peculiar temper) across a meadow by the usual means of a rope fastened to a ring in the animal's npSiC ;when it suddenly a n d without the least warning charged him with the greatest ferocity? itiiocliliig him,, down at once and pinning him to ,":the'girpund. i Mrs. Cusfance,. who happened.-to. be close b y , was-'the only witness of the o c ^ f r e n c e , and, in ".S:piJ:er-oi" her _;grea:t agCj immediately ihuTTied'to her SOD'S assistance, a n d f o r several minutes a terriljTe struggle tt)ok place. Twice the bull left Captain Custance a n d cbaiged: his aged, feeble, white-haired motherj knocking her down on each occasion, but owing to C05)tain Custance having the presence of mina to re'tatn a tight hold of the rope it was imable -to huit.her seriously.' ' " . , , ' CLOTHING TOHN FHOM BOOy. , The. captain was not so fortunate, for he had praticiilly .the whole of his ^cloihing torn from his body a n d was terribly :briiised, and, he has been far from well ever since. At "last mother and son, by allowing the bull td try a n d attack them alternately, succeeded in work' irig ttidr way to a fence'of iron railings and crawling through it, the t u U butting at them as they
did'so.' . . .

MAMMOTH LINER'S TEST TRIP.

,,Bt even after, its victims had escaped the Einimal's frenzy did net abate. It now attacked the fence, tearing it up with its horns a n d scattering it about., So' no time was lost in having it shot. , There can be no doubt whatever that Captain 'Cusfance would kave been killed had not Mrs. Giastance so. bravely gone to his help, and,, as it was,,those viho appeared on the scene sliortly-afteri : waTds and saw the"bull attacking the'railings ex^ :press surprise that'either escaped. SAVED BY STICKY GBOUND. .-Tire surface of the ground was sticky, and to this, ift .Mrs. Custance's opinion, they owe- their lives. The bull could not secure a good foothold, and on several occasions slipped up. Captain Custance is a big powerful man, and had not the animaf taken him unawares it might have -found its master, or at least have failed to maul him as it did. Wlien I called on Mrs. Custance, Captain Custance was ill in bed as the result of the affair, and rt was very evident that his mother was still suffering fiom the shock. It "fias with difficulty that she gave me the detai's, tears frequently interrupting her. She 13 a tall, stately ol-d lady with a kind, iiympathetic face, and, of course, is wonderfully i c t i \ e and energetic for her age.

500 PLAIN PAPER CHEQUE.

Handwriting Evidence in Case Against Man Charged with Forgery. Further evidence Was taken a t Bow-street yesterday in the case in which Robert H . P . Hutchinson is charged with forgery. H e is alleged to have appealed for subscriptions for a political organisation. Certain gentlemen sent cheques in response, and in the case of Mr. Richard Bennett, of Thorby Hall, Northampton, a forged request for a cheque-book was subsequently received by that gentleman's bankers. T h e book was sent, arid later on a forged cheque for ^6630 was presented at the hank and cashed. Sir Charles Lowtherj. it was stated, was victimised in a similar way. Mr. Purchase, sub-manager of Beckett's Bank, Leeds, said a letter written fr-om the Langhani Hotel, supposed to have been -written by Sir Charles, was, witness thought, not written by him. In his opinion, it was not genuine because.of the shakiness of the whole of the signature. The signature on a cheque"Charges B, Lowther "for ^500_ drawn p a a piece of plain paper was not genuine. Defendant was remanded on bail until June .14,
