Rev. Father O. Reiliy's Reply.

In the Globe of Thursday, Rev.
Father O'Reilly thus expressed himself
regarding the recent interview with DR..
Ames: IL left Ireland Aug is, after
having spent three months in travelling
over the unfortunate and unhappy
country. / know that at the time | left
there DR.. Ames had not visited Ire
land, so his trip must have been brief
and totally inadequate to furnish him
sound basis for the formation of an in
telligent and valuable opiniou upon the
Irish question. 1t is an issue which
has puzzled the wisest statesmen Of
England for years, and yet DR.. Anes,
judging from the dogmatic tone OF his
interviews and expressions. seems to
have solved it in very few days and
after q very superficial study Of the sit
uation, SO that he is able 70 say, in sub
stance, that the Irish people are priest
ridden. uneducated and wholly incapa-
BILE Of self government. | will deal with
these assertions seriatum,
IF by the allegation that the Irish
people are priest-rldden DR.. Ames
means to say that the Catholic clergy
have stood by the people of Ireland in
their struggles and sufferings, then
can agree with him. for 1t is fact that
since the struggle for Irish freedom
commenced there has not been an hour
in which one or more Irish priests have
not been confined III prison for their de-
votion to the cause of home rule. At
this very moment not less than three or
four are undergoing this punishment.
His statement that the Irish people
are ignorant and uneducated is wholly
untrue. Ireland has very complete
common school system, and you cannot
traveltwo miles in any direction in that
country without seeing a school house.
These schools are examined bv govern
ment inspectors every year, and the
teachers receive a certain sum called
results money, for each scholar who
passes the examination fixed by the
government.
DIR. Ames has always received the
hearty and generous support of the
Irish people whenever he has been a
candidate for Office. There have been
exceptions. of course, and some of them
were notable; but the common people,
whom he has stigmatized as being ig-
norant, priest-ridden and incapable Of
self government, have always supported
HIM and attempted TO aid in advancing
his political fortunes. What return do
they get? He makes hurried trip to
Ireland, hastens back to America and
no sooner has he crossed the Minnesota
state line than he proceeds to insult the
Irish people and their clergy.
II am sorry that + have to say this.
but it is the solemn truth, and | would
feel that was recreant to my people
and my native land did fail to express
myself upon this question.
The Irish people will never forget
this affair,and if DR.. Ames should again
be candidate for Office. he can surely
count upon the almost united opposi-
tiOn Of the Irish voters. -

A Water Bonanza.

There are wells and wells but Mr.
Thomas, who lives on the Bosque, and
who is the father-in-law of Mr.. Sam L.
Norwood, has struck we'll that beats
all the mineral wells yet. The we'll is
on the banks Of the Bosque, near the
Bosque bridge, and was dug for
water to the depth Of ten feet.
Then the water came in so fast that
the workmen had to get out and the
water rose to within four feet of the
surface and there it stands.
All attempht to drain the we'll or
lower the water are in vain, the stream
being so strong. But the water of the
we'll is not aqua pura but solution Of
alum So strong that it is impossible to
drink it except in small sips. It is so
strongly saturated with alum as to be
. veritable alum well. Mr.. Thomas
sent quantity to Austin for analysis
and brought quantity to town and
it is now at the Office Of j. B. Gilmer
and company. tits true alum well.

UnexplaineS. Fear.

Most people have experienced the
curious fear which comes upon men
at the edge of steep. Probably nine
out OF ten mortals recoil with GER
tain terror from tho depths of space
before them when on house roof or at
the edge OF natural precipice. In
some cases this fear amounts. indeed. to
horror, the keenest which can be ex-
perienced outside of the nightmare
state. In any other danger the dispo-
sition is to seek safety, but on the
steep the motive is to plunge at once
into the gulf. It is probably this un.
reasonable impulse which gives the
peculiar sense of horror to the situation.
With most people the measure of the
fear probably depends, in good part,
on the general state OF the nervous
system. On first going to mountain
country, l find it impossible to face
difficult passes which abound with
precipices, but, after month, the eff.
feet OF the tonic air and out door life
removes in good part the irritation
which such situations at first produce
The general occurrence of this pecu.
liar fear is a matter of great scientific
interest. All other fear may be ex.
planned, as it commonly is, by the Oar.
winian hypothesis. Animals which
have feared most for their lives have
most effectively fed, and have nat
urally .propagated their kind, while
those destitute Of the sense Of fear
have fallen prey TO their enemies.
But this peculiar fear of the steep can.
not be explained by the hypothesis OF
selection; 1t remains for the skillful
devisers OF explanations TO find some
other account for tn. 8. Shaler in

ANOTHER FIRE.
Jasper Japsen's Restaurant De-
stroyed.

Another early morning fire occur
red this morning at 4:S0 In the restau
ant Silver Moon, corner Third stree,
and the plaza. and kept by Mr.. Jas
per Japsen. The fire was discovered
by q colored man and driver of Q
wagon for the city.
The colored man says the fire when
he saw II was of very small dimen'
slons, not larger than q mans hat
and was or seemed to be OH one of the
restaurant tables near the parti ton
which opens into the kitchen. He
gave the alarm at Lynham's meat
market. There seems to have been a
big delay between the first discovery
Of the fire when 1t might have been
put out with . bucket of water and
the time when the fire department
began playing on 1t, for at that time
the fire was pouring out of the
rear Of the restaurant. The res
tauraunt is complete wreck from
the front door to the back, q depth of
at least a hundred feet. The fire was
fortunately confined to the first floor,
and no water was thrown in the
SECOND story, though the smoke proba.
bly, did a considerable damage.
The building was owned by Mrs. D.
E. Fort, and was insured in the Fort,
Willig & Patton agency for $1,000
The damage to the building is
estimated at about $1,000. The stock
and fixtures of Mr.. Japsen was insur-
I'D for 81 500 in three different compa-
MES in the Fitzhugh & Jones agency.
The loss will be heavy on Mr.. Japsen,
who is q Woodworking and pains
taking man. The cause of the long
ielay in getting to the fire Is said 10
nave been caused by the neglect of
persons knowing about it to give the
'larm at the engine house. 1t is COM
blamed that people content them
'elves with yelling fire instead of
on the alarm. The upper
tory over the restaurant was occu-
bed as sleeping rooms by Mr.. Jap
zen, and the other side of the hall by
awyers offices.
