An IRISH FAMINE
Special Inquiries Fully Corrob-
crate Recent Alarming
Predictions.
Cries of Warning to the Govern.
ment Rise in CrescendO From
! All Parts.
Not Since the Black Year OF 1847
Have Matters Been So
Deplorable.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-A dispatch to
The World from London says: The
Worlds special inquiries throughout
Ireland fully corroborate the alarming
predictions cabled Saturday of the fall
ure of the harvest and the consequent
impending famine. Cries OF warning
to the government are rising IN Gre
scendo scale from all parts of Ireland.
They are not confined as IN former
years of distress to the congested DIS
tricts on the western seaboard. From
Mullinger, one of the most prosperous
parts of the Midlands, correspondent
telegraphs:
The crops are now irretrievably de-
stroyed. 1t will be impossible for the
farmers to make anything of their
cereals this year, as they are quickly
rotting. In the churches prayers for
fine weather were recited, and 1t a
change does not come Immediately the
crops might as well be left to manure
the ground.
Worst Since Black 1S47.
From County Wexford, noted as one
of the richest in the country, the tidlngs
are: The grain crop may be described
as gigantic failure in County Wexford
this year. The greater part OF the
potato crop is only fit for feeding cattle.
From Fermanagh, in Ulster, cor
respondent telegraphs: At meeting
held here to ask for reduction in rents,
the parish priest presiding declared
that not since Black 1847 has the pros
pect for farmers in this district been so
bad In several places the potatoes
have been failure. Hundreds of tons
of hay have been ruined by the heavy
rains aud floods.
From Carlow, known as ''the model
county," comes this dispatch:
There is before our farmers an out
look as disastrous as it is possible to
conceive, owing to the frightful wealth
er. A great deal Of the corn cut early
remains in the stalks, injured beyond
recovery. In many districts the farm
ers have been unable to cut their crops,
which present the saddening spectacle
of being le*eled to the earth by the per-
gistent rains, while mass Of second
growth and weeds has come up. The
apprehensions concerning potatoes also
have been dis1nally realized.
At a meeting of the board of guard
ians at Mitchellstown, county Cork, the
chairman said: The potato crop is gen
orally failure, while the other crops
have been hopelessly injured by the
inclemency Of the season.
We are on the verge of a great agricul-
tural crisis. The outlook in farming
affairs is gloomy in the extreme, and to
aggravate the condition of affairs
caused by the failure of the potato crop,
the prices of provisions are considerably
and before long the people
who are supposed to contribute to the
poor rates would be in work houses
themselves.
These evidences of the widespread
character Of the ruin wrought by the
inclement season are merely samples
from numerous reports received.
The Irish government has adopted no
yet to cope with the threat
ened famine.

MAKE IT REASONABLE.

We are glad to see a disposition on
the part of the members of the council
to reject various unreasonable conditions
that have been proposed for inclusion
in the new bicycle ordinance. There is
somebody living in every block on ev-
cry street in the city who wants to
limit the cycler's rights in front Of his
premises. This is not because he has
a real complaint, but from the quite
human infirnity Of wanting to inter-
fere with the pleasure Of some one else.
It is natural that these complaints
should be presented to the alderman
from the ward. and when all of them
get together they make a formidable
bunch. II they were needed, the wheel
would be practically banished from
st. Paul. Reason and moderation, how
ever, appear to have the best Of It in
the regulations that are now under
consideration.
The suggested engagements Of the
prohibited district have not been
made, because 1t Is admitted that they

fit., Given, a suitable pathway, and

consent to do so. IT, he had aagood
smooth surface, either pavement or'cycle
path, that he could run upon instead.
AS rapidly as improvements are made,
like the building of the ross-tOwn path
on Lexington and the provision of
space on University avenue which
wheelmen can use without peril Of ar
rest, and pretty much all wheel travel
will be concentrated upon these In a
short time. leaving prohibition need
less, because nobody will want to use
the forbidden walks.
We do hope, however, that two or
three points will receive proper atten-
ton before the ordinance goes into ef-
feet The requirement of lantern at
ter sunset should not be approved.
Even at this time Of the year there
is almost an hours good riding after
sunset before it becomes dark enough
to annoy the rider or endanger the safe
ty of any one whom he meets. If both
sidewalks on Summit avenue" are to
be declared not wheelman's territory,
then there must first be cycle path
from Lexington to Smelling, or other
wise the beautiful path from Smelling
to the river would be inaccessible. The
sidewalk is the only available place for
wheels in this connecting link; but, as
should be built there on the unoccu-
pied southern side of the roadway, and
the city ought to do it.
There should also be some provision
made for riders between Third street
and Oakland on Pleasant avenue. This
is at present the bette noir of every
wheelman. Whoever goes between the
hill and the city desires to use Oakland
avenue either going or coming. lie
cannot reach it except by gong out
Pleasant, and the roadway there is
terror at its best and impossible at any
thing short of it's best. There are OBJ
jections to using the sidewalk on
Pleasant where foot travel is abundant.
But possibly, the difficulty might be
solved by authorizing the use of walks
along some other route connecting
Third and Pleasant, or the construction
of a narrow path by the roadway on
Smith avenue and Ramsey street. Ii
the points enumerated are looked after,
the new ordinance can be made very
| satisfactory both to wheelmen and
others.

A COLLEGE FOR LOVERS.

Lillian Bell is a very sprightly and
versatile lady who has written some
entertaining books and has some novel
ideas of sociological needs. One of
these she has set forth, with all the
frills and f1ounces in which her sex de-
lights, both in matters of dress and of
the more ethereal creations Of the
imagination, in the proposition that
there should be established kinder
gartens for husbands. or rather for
those intending husbandry. Her OBJ
servation, more than her experience.
has taught her that men quite gen
orally throw themselves into the voca-
ton Of being husbands to some wing
less angels without the slightest in
struction in the nature, the mentality,
the temperament, the needs. desires.
fancies and all those other notions and
qualities that make up femininity.- The
results, from the gentler sex's point of
view, are very apt to be disagreeable
and might be obviated by a course of
instruction in the proposed kindergar-
ten.
Naturally, this idea grows as Miss
Bell revolves it in her mand, and posi-
bilities sprout from it and bud and
blossom into other and greater and
broader plans for the amelioration of
the relations of the welded. In an in
terview in the New York Sun she dis
cards her kindergarten for husbands
and proposes a college for training
young men in the art of love-making
with a postgraduate course for hus-
bands. She is impelled to this by her
more mature judgment and the inves-
LEGATIONS, turned from men to girls. into
the part the latter play in the bust
ness of getting young men to the point
where their separate ways unite in the
path that leads to the altar. She
has discovered that If men need
instruction in their duties, be-
havior and general conduct after they
have been finally corralled. it Is quite
as necessary that they be also prop
erly instructed In the dangers about
them, while in the preliminary stages
of embryotic and potential husbandry.
We doubt If the fair ones, who re-
ceived with such warm appreciation her
suggestion OF the need Of d kindergar-

ten for husbands will regard with like
approval her reasons for urging the
need of college for the training of
young men in love making. The feel
ings stirred may be as warm or warm
er. but we apprehend they will be Of a
very different nature. The suggestion
Of postgraduate course for husbands
to take the place of the discarded kin
dergarten, will hardly moilify the ruff
fed sensibilities. The crying need Of
instruction for young men comes from
their susceptibility to capture by art
full maidens, who look with envy on
their possession by another girl. you
know" she says. "how easily one girl
can rob another of her lover" This is
because he is "a poor. blind creature"
who mistakes the delft wiles for the
outpourings Of a sympathetic soul,
and is fattered by the belief that, in
this other girl, he has found his affin-
ity, predestined for him, and leaves one
maiden in broken-hearted despair to
seek consolation in a breach-of-prom
Use suit, and to make the vows eternal
to his delighted captor.
Such game could not be played by
a young man on young woman be-
cause the latter would know in a
minute if man was trying to win her
from her lover She knows this be-
cause she is endowed with intuitions,
or more properly. with excellent con-
ductors of intuitions, that convey to
her the slightest indication and the ma
ture of every approach She likens
these to antennae surrounding the fem
mime heart and sensitive to the most
delicate touch. conveying warning Of
approaching assault on the citadel OF
her affections. 1t is in this sensitive
ness, this acuteness to motive, this
sharpened perception of intentions, that
Miss Lillian would have young men
trained in these colleges, where the art
Of lovemaking would be taught to sus-
ceptible young men. How they are to
be trained, how instructed in the w1les
and articles Of the other sex, how they
are to be supplied with the delicate an
tennae, was not developed in this irter-
view, but will probably be made the
subject, the motif, of a companion VOL
ume to 1.-The Love Affairs OF OLD
Maids" But there are possibilities in
the suggestion that should be consld-
cred before this plausible plan is put
into execution. Not to mention minor
ones. there is the defense in suits for
breach of promise, which follows the
admission of the incapacity of men TO
discern the motives Of designing girls.
IT involves an irresponsibility for their
conduct quite as complete as does the
condition of insanity, emotional or
other, or of infancy Or duress or any OF
the other grounds for escaping haoii-
ity to respond in damages. 1t transfers
culpability from the innocent, helpless
husband to the scheming wife and
makes; her the proper party defendant
as the sole responsible party to the
pirating We suggest the possibility OF
this line of defense to such gentlemen
of the bar as may be retained to defend
some captured lover against the claim
for damages of an aggrieved maiden.
