The Condition of ireland.


In the August number of the New Ireland Re-
view" there is an interesting and suggestive arti-
Gle from the pen of Mr. Thomas McDonough Ma
hony dealing with 'The Present State OF Ire
land and being in the nature of a reply TO an
article by Mr.. d. p Moran. THE Future OF
the Irish Nation" which appeared in the same
magazine some months back. Mr.. Mahony does
not agree with Mr.. Morans contention that Ire
land is herself responsible for the decay of her
industries and for the loss OF her language and
literature, nor does any Irishman who has at
tentvely studied the question at all agree with
any such conclusion. If such were the case then
indeed, might good Irishmen despair of their
country and her future Neither would be worth
bothering about under circumstances of such ma
tional humiliation and degeneration But, for
tunately for our self-respect, Mr. Morans con-
clusion is wholly unsupported by historical facts
as Mr.. Mahony conclusiyely proves in his ably
written article.
Mr. Mahony quotes Mr.. Lecky to prove what
should be familiar to every Irish sehoolboy-but
which, unfortunately, Is not-that Ireland was In
the enjoyment of great industrial prosperity dur
ing the years preceding the act of union, and that
from the date on which that act Of plunder and
corruption was placed on. the statute book OF
England eur era OF prosperity has gradually
waned and process of decay set in which has
continued down to the present day, helped on by
many minor iniquitous acts on the part OF the
'predominant partnerlf The principal historical
facts bearing out this view OF the ease are well
and logically stated by Mr. Mahony. whose arti-
Gle should be read by such people as are inclined
to favor the standpoint taken up by Mr.. Moran
Il is really nothing short Of lamentablc that facts
OF so obvious and easily accessible character
should need be insisted oa;at all at this time of
day But, OF course. il has been part OF Eng
lands policy in contrallipg our eystem OF eduea-
tion TO keen such daWiIiRg facts religiously out
Of the way OF Irish sehoolboys.

KID M'CoY'S DEFEAT.
1t VIII Not Affect His Match With
ThDPne.

ThOPne.
New York. Aug 20.-Jaek Mccormick
the Philadelphia heavyweight who jumped
into prominence by putting Kid Mccoy to
sleep in two minutes in Chicago on Friday
night, has been boxing for about two years.
Before that he was a wrestler, and was a
partner OF Yousouf, the Terrible Turk. .
Mccormick is about twenty-five years old
and is about five feet eight inches tall.
He is muscular and strong. Previous to
his contest with Mccoy Mccormick was
locked upon as a third-rater. Outside of a
few victories, he did nothing in the ring
to warrant any special notice of his PROV
ess. He was whipped by Tom Sharkey in
two rounds. Gus Rubin also defeated him
in eight rounds at the Pelican A. C. on July
Is, 1898 During the past six months Nc
Cormick has been fighting almost inces-
sanity, and is said to have greatly i'm
proved. He is a stiff puneher, and pos
sesses some cleverness.
The news of McC0y's quick defeat was
food for much gossip among the sports in
town yesterday. Many expressed regret
that he should be whipped by a man who
has hitherto been considered his inferior.
The impression prevails that the defeat
will not hurt him any, as the accounts Of
the battle state that the punch was in the
pened to George Dixon when he was
knocked out by the Kentucky Rosebud
| at Philadelphia on March %, 1894, in two
| rounds. It was to have been four-round
exhibition for charity, but the Rosebud
gave Dixon. as they say in fstic parlance
the double cross"
w. b. Gray, match maker of the West
chester A. c., where Mccoy is matched to
meet JEFF Thorne of England on August
81, says that the Kids defeat will Lot in
terfere with the match, and that the affair
Will be held on the date scheduled. Nc
Coy telegraphed Gray yesterday that he
| will be here tomorrow afternoon. That
| McCoy's reputation has not been very
much damaged is evident, for yesterday
| the Dubuque A. A. offered a purse Of
| $4,000 TO him to meet the winner of the
| Tommy Ryan-Jack Moffat fight. The club
| also agrees to give the boxers a big share
of the picture privileges

GEORGE DIxoN's HARD LUCK.
He May Lose the Sight of One of His


New York, Aug 20.-Unless George
Dixon is careful he may lose the sight of
his left eye. During the past year the
dusky champion has been unfortunate
enough to be struck on the left optic. and
repeated punches there have impaired his
vision considerably. In his recent fight
with Eddie Santry, Dixon had the MEMBER
bruised again and the following day DR..
Creamer put several stitches in the skin
under the eye lids to stop the flow of
blood. Ii was getting along nicely until
Dixon spared.
The old wound was opened again by a
smash and on Friday night when the pain
became unbearable Dixon sought the ad-
vice Of his physician. The doctor fixed the
eye up again and told Dixon to use the
utmost precaution as the slightest ccneus-
sion was liable to destroy the optic nerves
and ultimately blind George. AS result
Dixon Will be compelled to lay off for
awhile. The doctor thinks that Dixon will
be in good shape in about a month.

fFrom the New York Sun

The ability Of bootblacks to pay $1,000 year
for the use OF ten chairs in an Office building
and still make money was recently discussed,
and some facts have been developed as to the
incomes which may be made from this humble
pursuit One proprietor of half dozen stands

at the business owns a racing stable of sixteen
horses One Of these is already the favorite in

he became bank president. Nowadays he re.

A Vase of Precious stone.

A vase cut from a single emerald has been
preserved in a cathedral of Genoa Italy 500
years. Its dimensions are: Diameter l2k inches;
height, So inches. Every precaution is used to
ensure its safekeepng Several locks must be
opened 10 reach it, and the key OF each lock is
in the possession OF a different person. 1t is pub
licly exhibited very rarely, and then only by
order of the senate. A precautionary decree was
passed in l746, forbidding all persons to ap-
proach the priceless treasure too closely An
antiquarian advances the theory that il was
one Of the gifts made solomon by the Queen OF
Sheba, and has written hook to prove his as
sumption. 1t is difficult to believe that 50 large
an emerald has been found, and il would
be interesting TO hear the verdict Of gem ex-

LAPsEs OF MEMORY.
A Clear and Scientific Explanation
of Their Cause. ..l....
CF'rOu the Chicago Daily News.)

(From the Chicago Daily News)
Among the curious freaks which the
brain is given now and then TO exhibit,
lapses OF memory stand out prominently.
One of the most typical of these cases is
that of a person who Is found appealing
to the police for guidance, having forgot
ten not only his place of residence but
even his own name One might UNDER
stand why in epilepsy there should be a
Reorganization of memory. seizure OF
this kind is really a -nerve-storm" which
tends to disturb the equilibrium of the
brain at large, and which is bound 20 af-~
feet memory and all the attendant phases
of mind which make up the sum total OF
the conscious life.
1t is known that a frequent result OF
coneussion OF the brain is TO obliterate
entirely all memory of the events which
occurred for a certain period prior TO the
accident in question. Many cases are re-
corded in which men having sustatAed
head injuries found on recovery that they
had no recollection whatever of their
happenings before they sustained the Sc
we're shock to the brain. That which the
cases of accidental injury seem TO prove
is the probability that every impression
which is destined to be recorded as a
memory" requires a certain period after
its reception by the brain cells in order
that il may be duly registered, as il we're,
anu incorporated Into one ) STOCK OF IDEAS
and recolleetions. 1t is as though the
mental photographer, after taking his neg
atiye, required time TO fix il and develop
it.
Finally, there IS the incident of the loss
Of memory for recent events and the. rec
election of the events of the past This
is a feature illustrated frequently in the
mental history of the old. They will ''bab-
bic of green fields" Of their youth. while
they forget the events of the past day
Does this depend on some condition which.
affecting the brain cells that have been do
ing duty in middle and later life, causes
failure of their powers. and allows the
cells which may have been active in early
life TO come to the front. bringing into the
foreground of life the memories of the
days and years that are gomez Such
theory is not so fanciful. perhaps. as 1t
might SEEM The brain cell is a wondrous
unit OF the bodily state, and each cell may
be perfect mierocosm OF memories.
