thank you most heartily for an editorial

which appeared in this days issue OF your
paper. You have In the past proved yourself
stanch friend Of the Irish people. and by this
editorial you show your watchful interest ior
Ireland's future. Be assured that you couia
not serve tho cause OF homo rule for Ireland
to better purpose than to throw the weight OF
your influence into an effort to rouse the Irish
people Of this country from the state OF apathy
now existing among them. It Is true as
you state. There is no semblance OF
excuse for the torpor in which Irish
Americans seemed plunged at On hour
when the fate OF their native land may hinge
on their devotion and their promptitude.
Certainly over 100000 will be needed to meet
the statutory expenses for the National party
to return even their present number OF seats
to Parliament. And this money has to be de-
posted with the proper officer to meet tho
necessary expenses before one can BIO recog-

dates from 1880: the other firm OF bank

It is interesting that an association OF

other New York firms than those indicated

they have existed for upward OF 40 years.

unbroken In both companies. It is ques-
ton II the Boards exist as corporations: but
there is no question as to the length of their
existence as self-renewing bodies OF indi-
vidual holders OF New Jersey real estate.
Although the age OF these Boards is I'M
equalled by that OF any other concern in
this country. there is at least ono other firm
nearly as ancient. that OF the FRANCIS PERor
Sons Company OF Philadelphia. which was
organized In 1857. and therefore Is now POS
years old.
Probably few persons know anything
about the details Of the early commercial
history OF this country. and the knowledge
that there are at least three companies still
In active existence which were founded two
hundred years ago will surprise many.
There are few firms even in Great Britain
much older than the three American firms

MR.. DAVIS. LECTURE.

The lecture delivered by Mr.. H. W.
Davis, of Charleston, ILL.,, Yesterday,
at the Martin Street Opera House,
was largely attended by citizens Of
this city and vicinity. The lecturer
said that inebriety as durable dis
ease was no longer an experiment, but
q fact, for there are at present 5000
persons in the United States who
have been cured by the Kelley Gold
remedy. We are now passing through
a transition period.
For two years the question of drunk
enness has been discussed from almost
every stand point. Many years ago
women organized themselves into pray
ing bands, invading drinking places
praying for the bartender and saloon
keeper. This movement was known
as the women's crusade. From il
sprang the ribbon movement, where
thousands under the impetuous oratory
Of Golf. Reynolds and Humphrey were
induced to sign the pledge, but ex-
perience proved that mems appetites
were stronger than their pledges. Ag-
gressive campaigns were conducted in
many states to secure constitutional
.enactments against the sale of liquors,
but have not been crowned with sue
cess.
The speaker said that the cure in
cludes many prominent men of New
York State, and if his word is doubt
ed, that he win risk the reputation Of
the cure, if three Of the worst drunk
ards in this city are selected by the
citizens and sent to the institute at
Oak Crest, Nd, and are not cured at
the end Of four weeks treatment.
