MANY of our leading Irish citizens have
not forgotten and never will forget a
speech made at political meeting in
Bloomington few years ago by Senator
Harrison, the republican nominee for
president. He spoke of Americas adop'
ted sons from various European countries
and praised their bravery in war and good
citizenship in peace. He was about to
pass on, ignoring Ireland's contribution
To the sInews of the republic, when voice
in the audience exclaimed: "Whst about
the Irish," The speaker then poured
forth volley of abuse and ridicule which
stung a number of citizens to the quich,
and they left the hall. The Irish demo
Gratis who were attracted by Mr.. Blsine's

AN AERONAUT'S LUCK.
The Wind Initiates His Collapsed Air-Ship
just in Time.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, July "a balloon
ascension here yesterday had narrow escape
from being = fatal one. The balloon was a
big silk bag, and the elevatlng force was hot
air. When released it shot up nearly 1000
feet with the aeronaut, Matt Woods hanging
from IA trapeze. At itS greatest height it
ripped from top to bottom, and descended
with alarming rapdity 1t fell until within
about 200 feet of the earth, when the winds
caught in the folds, partially expanding the
bag and greatly retarding its descent 1t
alighted in the yard of st. Pauls church
and, strange to say, the aeronaut did not
sustain bruise or sprain. He was stunned
for "A few minutes, and was covered with the
falling canvas, but he was quickly extricated
and in a few minutes more be smiled family
and said. Il guess I'm all right now" The
balloon was an old concern, aud not fit to be
used The young mans escape from death
was simply miraculous.
