Sherring Is Irish.

London. May 16.-An Irish writer in
the Sportsman claims that Shc,riny is
not Canadian but Is of strictly Irish
parenta%c. birth and religion The
writer says that he has been coached
by Irish canadians and is Il strict adj
r"tatr of Irish independence. Cana
'lin people must thank the Irish for
again demonstrating that the athletic
h"n"rs of the world in open compete
tion remain with those of Irish par
cntage or nationality. Martin Shcri-
dan is today the worlds greatest all
round athletic hero and in Ireland the
fact that the British athletes were
completely submerged in the famous
games is Il matter of general c0i,gr:,t %
ulati"n. The victory of Shcrrills is
Irish and his achievement is chased
with the victories of tn. American
Irish who ran 50 frequently to the
front in he big meet. AS II matter of
fact tho Irish are again ON top and the
whole Of the emerald isle Is crlrbr:u :
ing the athletic triumph of their kinS-
men beyond the seas. The Dublin
Freeman says that n visit of the great
Irish Canadian runner to the land of
his ancestors would be greeted by an

History Of a Famous Expression Told
BY Martin I. J. Griffin.

We all have heard of what 1.-The Gov
ernor of North Carolina said to the
Governor of South Carolina" but, bow
many of us know that both of them
were lrishnen?
Several explanations of the origin of
the famous expression lit is Il long
time between drinks" have appeared
many Of them erroneous. Martin I. ].
Griffin. the Philadelphia historian,
says:
singular as ii may seem at the
very time that Thomas Burke was
Governor of North Carolina. Aedallus
Burke. his brother or near relative
was Chief Justice of South Carolina
AedanuS had been educated for the
priesthood at ST. Onlers. but at the
breaking out of the Revolution came
from the West Indies to volunteer to
fight for American Liberty. He WAS 81

read with calmness and indeed with
merrimenl of the controversy which
excited this country and France in 1888
and the sensation Judge B.rke's
pamphlet against the Order caused.
Governor Thomas Burke condemned
the Order in an address. The Legis-
latures of Pennsylvania Massachusetts
and Rhode Island passed resolutions
of censure against it. and the American
Ministers at foreign courts expressed
regret and modification ut the fornla-
tion Of the Order which was feared as
establishing an hereditary and mon

in January, 1882.
Both he and his relative. the Chief
Justice of South Carolina. were of
convivial dispositions ard habits. So
when the Governor of North Carolina
escaped from British Imprisonment and
met his fello" devotee Of Racchus. the
Governor of North Carolina said to the
Chief Justice of South Carolina: ut is
a long time between drinks" From
September, 1881. to january, 1882, the
opportunity Of taking something to-
gether had not been afforded and was,
no doubt regarded as another instance
of British cruelty.
Be this as it may, we see that re-
mark conducting to conviviality has. in
deed. much of a foundation in American
history. in the fact that two Irish
Catholic American patriots Of the same
name were at the same time in highest
civil positions in adjoining States, and
that both have assigned to them the
