York, made public today, appeals for
contributions in behalf of the famine
sufferers III that country. With the
letter he sent his own check for 800.
He calls attention to the literally un-
paralleled prosperity Of the county,
and hopes that the people out of their
abundance will give generously on this
occasion. His letter is in reply TO one
received from the committee calling his
attention TO the urgent need of assist
ance, The correspondence follows:
NEW YORK, Feb ls-The Prasi-

afflicted by terrible famine and arc in

arranged has proved inadequate to cope

will be incalcuable.

|ssrd that there are more Irish IN Boston
Ian in any other city in the world.
sou,h Carolina has the largest Irish
,onulation of any State in the Union.
Nearly half of the continental troops
,nder Washington were of Irish de-
scent. and many of the most valiant Of
scers of the Revolution wore small
orcen flags on their coats to mark their
double allegiance.
The connection of the Irish with
America goes back TO the earliest his
torv of the country. First there is the
isoendary visit of ST. Brendan. devout
Missionary and daring navigator. whose
s,,nnosed visit TO our shores antedated
the landing of Columbus by thousand
wears. There were Irish pilgrims on the
Mavlower. and 500 or 500 members OF
this race came over in the stormy times
Of Cromwell AS early as l1ls 800 Irish
families went TO South Carolina There
we're Irish Quakers in the settlement of
william Penn. and before the Revolu
t;on nearly half of the members of the
Pennsylvania Legislatures were Irish,
Nine of the signers of the Declara-
tion of Independence were either Irish
or of direct Irish descent. John Barry
was given the first captaincy in the
American navy, and the naval honors
he won for the Emerald Isle were con
tinued by Stephen Decatur, Of direct
irish extraction. "Mad Anthony

rible disaster of famine Russia has

vent the most far-reaching suffering and
