THE IRISH DONATION.
When the Emerald Isle Helped Our
Fanishsd Colonists.

Whon the Emerald iSle neiPeo OVS
Famishsd colonists.
II is an interesting fact, and one
that is not known to many, that
the people of Ireland sent relief to
the pilgrim fathers in this coun-
try in a time of distress and need,
resulting from the Indian war.
King Philips war was brief, but
it had its havocs and terrors, which
ss-eral historians have tried to de-
scribe. The flower of the New Eng
land colonies fell in battle or were
murdered by the Indians, very Of
ten under circumstances Of the
most revolving cruelty.
Many towns in Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Rhode Island were
laid in ashes, crops were razed, cat
tie destroyed and numerous nom
combatants fell victims to the
bloody and devastating raids Of the
savage hordes. In these times OF
distress and misery the people Of
Ireland promptly came to the relief
of the American sufferers, which
event is known in history as 'the
Irish donation" and it is remark
able fact also that no other country
in Europe came to the rescue of the
fo,,,icbo1 oo1onicfs
The ship Katherine, which brought
the relief, sailed from Dublin for
Boston on or about Aug. ~, 1916.
The extent or value of the consign-
ment is uncertain, but from the
fact that the cost of the freight
was the very large sum of f45O and
that a committee of three men was
sent out with it from Dublin, it
may be assumed that it was liberal
in the extreme.
In Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut records may be seen references
to a controversy which arose be-
tween the colonial officials regard
ing what each deemed its proper
share in the Irish charity" The
council of Massachusetts in a let
ter to Connecticut dated Jan. 4,
1877, reported that $500 families,
consisting of 2,265 persons, were
in distress in the several towns Of
the colony" and they called upon
Connecticut "for a similar &C
count" so that eve may proper
ton what is divisible among us"
The Irish committee being locat-
ed at Boston, Connecticut replied
to Massachusetts, on Feb. %, 1877,
demanding that the latter send
them "our proportion of the Irish
charity" and in the colonial rec
ords may be read many letters on
the subject passing between the
two sister colonies.
Toward the close, however, Con-
necticut relinquished her share, say
ing, "God has given supplies to our
people, so We remit to you our right
in the Irish charity" and at a ses-
sion of the general court of Con-
necticut in May, 1877, this act was
recorded: "The court upon good
reason moving them to remit their
part in the Irish charity to the dis
tressed persons in the Massachu-
setts and Plymouth colonies"
It is further recorded that from
"the Irish Donation" in Massa-
chusetts alone, exclusive Of Boston,
"forty-seven towns, $40 families,
or 1851 persons in all )" were sue
cored.-Letter in New York Times.

ed a claim made by President A. j.
Heineman, of the New Orleans base
ball club against Charles Frank. for
merly employed as scout by the Cleve-
land club and now president of the At
lanta club, for $1,629. Attorneys repre-
senting Frank denied the Jurisdiction of
the commission in the case, owing to
the debt being of personal nature.
The attorneys also claimed that Frank
admitted having contracted the debt,
but that he had compromised IL for a
lesser amount, according to the COM
missions finding.
The commission ruled, however that
Il had uniformly exercised jurisdiction
In the adjustment of financial obliga-
tions between parties connected with

identified with tho major league. The
finding then goes to hold that the COM
promise was abrogated through the fact
that one of its conditions was not lived
up to by Frank.

ing fencebuster of the National Lea

as yet he had not heard definitely from
the Vernon president whether the
terms of the transaction were satisfac-
tory.
After that is arranged, the only
thing that remains Is to get Cravath
past the "waivers-system" net that
may quite possibly keep him IN the
big show. Gavvy's days of home-run
slugging are by no means over, and
it seems hardly likely that all of the
other fifteen clubs in the leagues will
allow him to pass down to the minors
without a struggle. 1t will have to be
fixed up out of court If 1t is put

country until definite word had been
received one way or the other regard
