A Unique Discourse Before the Shields
Library Association.

Library Association.
The rooms of the Shields Library AS
ISOLATION were filed last evening by a
large number Of ladies' and gentlemen who
had assem- BLEED TO hear the Rev. M. X.
Fallon lecture. The subject OF the lecture
WAS announced to be "A Cross Stick, or
What's In a Name.
The real subject of the lecture, how
ever, proved to be an acrostic for which
the reverend gentleman had selected
eight words at random, the initial letters of
which spell the name of General Shields,
for whom the library Is named The
words selected were Grip, stage, Heaven
and HE'LL Ireland, eloquence, library,
Dickens, Scott This kind OF lecture was
not only novel one, but 1t was besides.
both interesting and instructive.
The Reverend gentleman. in speaking
Of grippe, stated that 1t was originally
a Greek word, signifying a net that It
was adopted by the French, and the
meaning grew to, ENHANCEMENT in net.
1t was afterwards adopted by the English
and a great many know OF the entangle
ment Of the mucous membranes and
spinal marrow to-day.
He told his audience of the great cpl
denies and plaques that humanity had
been suffering from. He spoke Of the
peculiar plague from which the Atheni
ans suffered, b c., $50, which left the
sufferers who recovered without memory
Of the past Of the plague in the his
toric and wonderful year of 1866, and Of
the cholera plague in Philadelphia.
He further stated that In his opinion
opinion it was only because Of the won
derful advance In medical science that
this epidemic Of grip does not sweep the
country.
All the other seven words were
treated in the same way, the lecturer
instructing his hearers by the history of
the words and drawing valuable lessons
from the facts brought out
There Is one fact, however that was
stated by the reverend gentleman which is
not generally known. and that is the
| origin of the term "Green Isle, as ap.
piled to Ireland When the FIRST apostles
went to Ireland in the fourth century
they found the natives Of that country
worshipping Apollo, the Sun God, and
green was the word in Irish for sun Il
was, therefore. called the Green Isle.
and has been to this day, and not because
its fields are green, as many suppose
The lecturer then spoke Of his we'll
known advocacy of such associations as
the one he was addressing and stated
that he believed that they should admit
ladies to membership. because they would
have a polishing effect on the men.
