Show AN IRISH FUNERAL BOYCOTTED. Which Is Almost Running the Thing Into the Ground A Magnanimous Mag-nanimous Irish Landlord. Dublin, October 20. The Nationalists of Cavan, at a -crowded convention, selected Joseph G. Biggar, M.P.,and Thomas O'Han-lon, O'Han-lon, as their candidates for the House of Commons. The severity with which boycotting boy-cotting is carried on is shown by an incident inci-dent which occurred at a recent funeral at McCroom, County Cork. A boycotted relative rela-tive of the deceased, together with his family, joined the funeral procession, whereupon where-upon the priests and mourners withdrew. The obsequies were finally performed by three Catholic curates, unattended. Lord Clermont has remitted 15 per cent, of his tenants rents, owing to the low prices which they obtain for their produce. |
