Sullivan and Jackson.

In an article on the Jeffries-Ruhlin
contest, which comes off in San Fran
cisco next November, George siler tells
the true story of the meeting between
John L. Sullivan and Peter Jackson.
He says in the Chicago Tribune:
John L., by the way, has also jumped
into print anent the outcome of the big
battle. John, however, does not pick
JEFF to win. He says If the champion
does not knock Gus out in ten rounds
he will lose. This prediction is not in
fine with other experts, who argue that
the longer the fight progressed the bet
ter it will be for Jeffries. John must
have his say, so we will let 1t go at
that. ..-..... ....
Speaking of Sullivan brings to my
mind story l heard several days ago
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1901-09-07

cheerful disposition. Among other
things he delighted in puns. One day,
while he was speaking German with
CORES, the latter having made some
allusion to his Eminences gray hairs
as Il "Wcisshaar" (white-haired), the
cardinal replied with gentle smile:
Zach! gabe Gott dass ich, vie Weiss,
haar, SO auch Weiser geWOrden ware"
(Oh! would to God that, as l have be-
come whittier, so l had also grown
wiser.)
On one occasion when he was COM
plimented, Cardinal Mezzofanti said:
ALAS, what will all these languages
avail me for the kingdom of heaven,
since it is by works, not by words,
: that we must win our way thither"
On his elevation to the cnrdinnlate
! 43 students Of the Propaganda-all his
own students at that-waited upon
Cardinal Mezzofanti and addressed
him IL series Of congratulations, each
in his native dialect. The Propa ganda
is an Apostolic seminary whose stu
dents are from every known part Of
the world and speak, literally, almost
every known language and dialect.
Among these, the well-known German
author Cores says, Cardinal Mezzo-
fanti was accustomed to go, mot as q
Cardinal, but as q schoolboy."
One day the vice rector of the Eng
lish college, DR.. Cox, when going to
the Vatican library to visit Cardinal
Mezzofanti, took with him an English
family who were desir0us of being
introduced to him. The gentleman in
troduced begged as a favor that he
would tell him how many languages
he could speak. After some hesitation,
Mczzofanti answered: "Well, il you
must know, speak forty-fvc Ian
guages."
"Forty-fve!" replied the English
man; show, sir, have you acquired so
many?" II cannot explain it," said
Mezzofanti; "God has given me this
peculiar power" This was in his
comparatively early career. Later he
acquired more. Cardinal Wiseman
was assured by him on one occasion
that he then spoke fifty and Bolog-
nese."

Cardinal MeZZOfanti.

The late Cardinal Mezzofanti was un-
doubtedly the greatest linguist the
world has ever known. In addition to
more than thirty dialects, he was ac>
quainted in various degrees with II
languages. OF these he spoke with
freedom and with a purity Of accent,
of vocabulary and idiom, rarely OBJ
tanned by foreigners, no fewer than SO.
He was withal, an humble and holy
prince of the church. Unceasing was
his prayer in the last days of his life
He constantly recited the rosary. His
last words were: II am going-1 am
gOing-soon to Paradise"

quoted as saying: I'D fight you, Peter,

body"
The story as related to me is as fol-
lows: "The steamer which was to
carry Sullivan, Jack Ashton, Jack Bar
nett and Others In his party ito Austria
afa lay at anchor at the foot Of Folsom
street, San Francisco. Sullivan, not
in the best of humor because of "crook-
ing his elbow" too often the previous
night, sat on a low stool on the upper
deck surrounded by Ashton, Barnett,
Frank Jones of the Golden Gate Club,
and few others. Jackson was on one
Of the lower decks seeing off some
friends.
sullivan is on the upper deck, but
in bad humor," jackson was informed.
Jackson hesitated about meeting Sulli-
van, but when told there would be no
trouble he, in company with Frank
Jones, Jack Barnett, and a friend, went
to the upper deck to meet John L..
Jackson pushed his way through the
crowd of about dozen that surround
ed Sullivan, and, planting his right
foot back of his left, prepared for any
thing in the fighting line that might
come up, extended his right hand when
introduced by Barnett. John arose
from his stool, grasped Peters hand
and said: II can lick any man in the
world" "And l." replied jackson,
twill fight any man in the world,' and
stepping back into the crowd, walked
away.
'That," said my informant, 'is a
true and correct story Of the meeting
of Sullivan and Jackson. The word
color was never mentioned by Sui
livan, all reports to the contrary"
When Sullivan returned to America,
and when co1mered for a fight with
Jackson, he said: "White men, $1O,-
600; colored, $2O,OOO." jackson has
joined the great majority and Sullivan
is still with us. Too old to fight, but
ready to pull off his coat to pick a
winner of fight.

coronation.

In the arts of peace, what have we
done for America? Since 1880 thou
sands Of miles of railroad have grid
ironed this land from ocean to ocean.
Who built, designed and operate this
vast system? In all this the Irish had
and have very large share. Shall l
speak of. the numerous canals con-
Meeting our great waterways with the
sea? Shall relate the labors of Irish
men in the mine and in the factory, in
agriculture, shipbuilding, commerce,
architecture, the trades, painting,
sculpture, music, and authorship? OF
the aid given by Bishops Carroll and
Hughes in the affairs Of state?
Gentlemen, there is not stone that
forms the enduring arch Of American
liberty, progress and prosperity to the
shaping and placing Of which Irish
brain and Irish muscle have not gen
erously and patriotically contributed.
Our blood circulates warmly and
abundantly throughout the United
States, and, while I should hesitate to
say, as has been asserted that Ireland
is the true mother country of Ameri-
cans, it is certainly one Of the great
parent sources of our native popula-
tion.
While we are justly proud Of our
Celtic blood and it's achievements, we
are the very last who would seek to
belittle or deprive others of their just
need of praise; on the contrary, we re-
joice in granting to our fellow-citizens
their full claim to the building up Of
this nation.
Nor would we erect barriers be-
tween ourselves and other nationali-
ties. No; let the healthy, rich blood of
the worlds races unite here, unto the
forming Of race with all the noblest
characteristics of humanity; let Ameri-
ca assimilate the generations 6ocking
to her shores from every cline, and
let there be formed the American Of
the future-physically, intellectually,
morally, socially and politically the
perfect citizen Of the greatest nation
upon the face of the earth.
