benefit Of the fund for the coming fair.
The story Of the liberatOr OF Catholic
Ireland is dear to every Irish heart, and
the attractiveness Of the subject, coupled
with the well known elOqUeuce OF the
speaker, sUfficed to crowd the new hall
with an audience that represented every
prominent family in the congregation and
visitors from every Catholic parish in the
city. For a half hour prior 10 the lecture
section of the Marine Band played Irish
airs in the lobby, after which the curtain
was raised on a drawing room scene, and
the orator Of the evening appeared, ac-
companied by Rev Father Gillespie, pastor
OF st. AIoysius.' who introduced him an
a man who ministered to the poor and
ignorant in this day as St Patrick did in
his.
The speaker outlined the troubIous history
Of Ireland and her unswerviug z fealty to the
ancient church Henry II, at the time Of
the sC-caUed conquest of Ireland, attempted
in vain to weaken her faith. Henry VIII
met with the same failure, and Elizabeth
spent forty years in an endeavor 70 Pro
testantiZe the Island, and failed also. as
did that great sCourge of the Irish race whO
is known Ill II eIand as Bloody Cromwell
to this day. A the siege Of Limerick the
defenders or ireland kept at bay the great
est captain Of his age, William, Of Orange,
and capitutated only when religious liberty
was assured them by written guarantee.
The treaty was torn in pieces and En- gland
enforced instead n law that bancroft, the
American historian, called a disgrace TO
civilization.
Daniel O'ConneH was horn in 1775 on
a rock-bound coast between the mountains
AMI the sea. The only education he re-
ceived in his early years was from the
hedge school master, and at the age Of
sixteen he went to France to avail him
self of the knowledge denied him at home-
He became a barrister, with an income OF
"a 600 year, and with every promise OF
q life Of luxury and power. But in the
midst OF his prosperity he heard the voice
OF his prosecuted country, and it was 70 the
glory OF Ireland that he listened.
O'COnneH was the greatest individual
leader Of modern times. He rescued the
religion Of his fathers from slavery, and
for forty years held in the hollow Of his
hand the hearts and hopes OF more than
100000 Of people, whom he knit together
in unity as single man. He believed that
man had a right to worship according to the
dictates Of his conscience, and il was to
his brave inCessant fight on the lines OF
constitutional agitation, unaided, except
by the fidelity of his people, he gained for
ireland the religious freedom her people
enjoy today.
Among those present in the audience
were Archbishop Martinelli, Secretary Sba-
retti and DR.. Rocker, of the papal Ie-
cation, and a number OF other distin-
gushcd preIates, who were guests of the
fathers OF the church. .

Hard Rounds.

Rochester, N .,Ma:chl7. Tommy Ryan,
the champion welter- weight of the world,
knocked out Pat Raedy, champion middle
weight OF the Southern States, in eight
cen rounds before the Rfenzi Athletic Club
tonight. The fight was the fiercest ever
seen II this city.
The first ten rounds seemed to be very
much in favorof Raedy and hisquick swings
and straight punches seemed TO land when
ever lie cared to. The friendsof Ryan began
to loook for defeat for thechlmpion In about
the tenth round, a Raedy had been landing
about four times to Tommy's one, and the
latter was everything but ON Queer street
at the end Of one round, when the bell
saved him.
After the tenth round Ryan seemed to
have renewed strength, and continued
fighting at Raedys stomach Raedy re-
taliated with considerable effect, but he
seemed to be gradually getting weaker
In the eighteenth Ryan hit hard ON
Raedy's stomach and landed several blows
about his head, and as Raedy failed to
respond for the next round the fight was
awarded to Ryan.

OF all recent rapid transit projects seri-
ously and scientifically advanced that ex-
plotted in the latest issue of the Engineer
ing Magazine is the most remarkable. 1t
aims at the construction of an electric rail-
road between Philadelphia and New York
that will carry passengers between those
cities in thirty-six minutes. The trip now
takes at least two hours. This cutting
down of the time by nearly seventy-five
per cent is to be accomplished, according
to the plans, by means of specially de-
signed cars of the air-splitting pattern
that is. with the forward end wedge shaped,
to reduce the air pressure to a minimum
The power Is to be supplied by electric
motors built solely for speed, carried on
the car in sucn a way as to keep the center
of gravity lower than is now the case with
the ordinary railroad train. The current
is to be supplied by third rails carried on
slightly elevated trestles between the
tracks. The main feature of the project is
that a route will be adopted that will give
a minimum of grades and curves, thus per-
nitting full speed at all times without un-
due loss Of power. To this end there will
be considerable tunneling and viaduct con-
struction. 1t is not planned to have inter-
traffic Is the chief end Of the enterprise.

The policy of economy. pursued by

willingly bears its share of the scaling pro-
cess, but it has more than once been ap-

not suffice in defense of the congressional
