IRELAND's ONLY HOPE.
Significant Remarks Of Lord Bishop
of KiIlaIoe.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
DUBLIN, August 27.ASpeaking at g
special meeting of the County Clare agri-
cultural show committee. the Most Rev.
DR.. Fogarty, lord bishop of Killaloe, chair
man. who presided. said that so far as he
could see the only hope for this country
was agriculture. The chances or even the
possibilities. of Ireland ever becoming a
great manufacturing center were, he
feared, nil. In that department the world
had got the start of them. They found
themselves today without manufactures, or
the means of starting them, for any little
Industry they could hope to originate with
the limited capital at their disposal would
be swamped Immediately by the monster
institutions abroad, who could afford to
dump their surplus products here for the
mere pleasure of killing them, unless they
got protection
But with agriculture the case is different
In that we have living industry-one in
which the people have been engaged for
generations, which is adapted to their nat
ural tastes and habits. and for which the
local conditions of climate and soil are
most favorable. If Ireland cannot be
manufacturing country, she can easily be
an agricultural country, just like Denmark
Is. with less favorable conditions.
But If we are to hold our own in agri-
culture, from abroad we must be up and
doing. The butter industry and the poul-
try industry are in a backward condition,
and the markets for them. which at one
time were almost exclusively ours. have
been captured from us by nations who have
to carry on these industries under condi
tions far less favorable than ours. We all
know how much this country has lost OF its
once great and profitable business OF breed
ing and rearing horses. And this condition
of things will go on getting worse from
year to year unless we pull ourselves to-
gether and set ourselves with determina-
ton to make the most Of what we have, to
educate ourselves and improve our methods
of agriculture until we are able to hold
our own against allcomers.'
It Is strongly urged that one industry
which Ireland can revive with advantage Is
the manufacture of cider. More than
century ago the south Of Ireland was
fa mons for cider

LEAPED FROM FLYING TRAIN.
York State Mans Lucky Escape From
Startling Jump.

NEW YORK, August 27.-In his anxiety
to get to the bedside of dying wife John
O'Connell of Cold Spring. N. Y. jumped
from the New ork Centrars southwestern
limited the train was passing through
Garrisons at the rate of a mile a minute.
He struck the stone ballast and bounced
into the Hudson river, escaping with three
fractured ribs and cuts on the head and
hands
1t appears that OConnell who is only
twenty years Old was in Albany when he
got a telegram informing him that his wife
was on the point of death at Cold Spring
He bought a ticket and hurried to the sta
ton, expecting to get a local train. Through
some mistake he got aboard the south
western limited, which does not stop be-
tween Albany and New York.
When the conductor took up OCOnnells 8
ticket the young man learned for the first
time that he was on a limited train. He
begged the conductor to stop at Cold Spring
or Garrison's, but this was out of the
question.
After the train had passed Poughkeepse
O'Connell went to the platform of the
Another passenger stopped to talk to him.
O'Connell explained his predicament, and
said he feared that if he had to go to New
York and take another train back his wife
would die before he could reach her.
AS the train whizZed through Cold Spring
OConnel crazed by the thought that his
dying wife was so near and he could not
go to her began to work on the faStenings
of the vestbule door. He got 1t open as
Garrison's was reached and leaped out.
Half a dozen men on the observation plat
form at the rear of the train saw him
splash into the river.
The conductor pulled the bell cord and
the train was stopped, but 1t had run more
than mile beyond the place where O'Con-
nell had jumped Through an operator in
a signal tower the conductor learned that
OConnell had been picked up a Garrisons,
and the train came on to New York.
That o. COnnell escaped instant death is
marvel to all who know the circumstances
of his leap. The train was going fast
as the engineer could send his big machine.

The imports are less than in previous years,

at Capetown, will continue diminishing, and

jefferson City, Mo-, March 14.-Con-
trary to expectations, the Senate and
House Conference committees reach
ed an agreement to-day on the game
and fish laws Concessions were made
on both sides. The House held out
foI provision under which game may
besold in the county where killed, and
the Senate conceded this.
The Senate held out for a section
retaining the Game and Fish Warden
at a salary Of $1,000 a year and ap-
pIopriating $4,000 for support thereof.
This was a Senate amendment to the
House bill, and the House committee
conceded this point.
The shipment of game from one
county In this State to another, or the
shipment Of game from another State
into this State, is absolutely prohibit
ed. This was a point of considerable
argument, but the proviso remains In
the bill.
Every Sheriff is made q Deputy
Game Warden, and the deputies that
held Jobs under the old law will now
