THE SCOTCH IRISH CONGRESS-.

The third annual congress Of the
Scotch-Irish Society of America which
meets in Louisville on Thursday will
bring together a most remarkable and
interesting body of men of this hardy
stock. Robert Bonner, of New York, is
to preside, Col. Alex. X. Mcclure, of the
Philadelphia Times, will deliver an adj
dress, and other speakers will be such
men as Senator A. p. German, Joseph
Medill, of the Chicago Tribune, the Rev.
DIR. John Hall, Henry Watterson, of the
Louisville Courier-Journal, Gen. A. E.
Stevenson, of Illinois, and many others
who have played a conspicuous part in
the national rena. 1t is hard to find a
field, in fact, in which the men of this
race have not borne a prominent part,
not as class or clan, but as American
citizens. The governor of Tennessee in
calling attention to the congress takes
honorable pride in the fact that from
this blood his state got Andrew Jackson,
James K. Polk, Sam Houston and Davy
Crockett, while the Scotch Irish gov
ernor of Ohio, in an address to the PEG
pie of that state, thus adds to the list:
Had it not been for the daring and skill
at arms of George Rogers Clark, who was
sent to the Ohio country dnring the revolu-
tionary war by Patrick Henry, also of the
intrepid blood, and who wrested the North
west territory from the British, it is quite
likely that the southern boundary of Can
ada would be the Ohio river instead of flake
Erie. Ohio is also indebted to the greatest
Scotch-lrishman of them all, Thomas Def
ferson, for the articles of cession by the
state of Virginia to the federal government,
in which it was provided that there should
bs no slavery in the territory after the year
1900, the first emancipation proclamation
in America. Not only this, but our first
governor, Arthur st. Clair, was of this
blood. And how great is our indebtedness
to the memory of such men as Gen. An
thony Wayne. Col. johnson and Simon
Kenton, whose bravery made Ohio a pos,
sible haven of peace for the pioneer. W,
are indebted to this blood for many of oul
governors whose wise administrations ant
splendid craftsmanship aided in making
Ohio one of the greatest of the sisterhoot
of states. In this list are included Jere.
miah Morrow, than whom no one did NOR,
for the state; Allen TrimDle, a Statesman
of perception and perseverance, the fathe
of our public school system, which wa
afterwards perfected by the noble Scotch
Irish statesman, Samuel Galloway; Duncan
Macarthur, John Vance, Wilson Shannon

HELP THE IcE-MlssIoN.
An Appeal 20 the Public TO sssist this
Worthy Mission.
rFOr the Dispasch.I


In July, 1889, the Ice-Mission was in
augurated In Richmond. During that
summer 1926 pounds OF Ice were distributed
among the sick poor, and innumerable touching
messages Of thanks for the great boon 70 the
suffering sick and TO the little babies give token
OF the need Of such charity.
Greatly encouraged the mission was started
again In 1889, and during that season 25,x10
pounds were distributed. Last year tickets 20
the amount Of 46,395 pounds were given 70 tho
poor sick.
The Richmond Ice Company hos enaoied rhis
charity 90 be thus successful, because t offered
tickets at half price, and continues this char.
table iberality, no matter how high the price OF
ice.
The tickets are distributed by the ladies' Of the
City Mission and others who make practice o.
visiting and ministering 20 the poor. The glad
news that ice could be procured for their sunor-
ing sick has been heralded through the city, and
calls for ice have already begun. The warn
weather admonishes as that We must sgsin be-
gin our mission. and this appeal Is therefore
made 10 the charitable people OF our city, who
have 80 well sustained the mission Tor three
years past.
Collection-hoxes will be put at varions places
after awhile. Please send contributions at
present to Mrs. George w. Bagby, 107 east
