Patrick and of Brian Boru. the hero
king of Ireland On the shores of the
picturesque Tough was Kincora castle.
a stronghold of Brian Boru. of which
no trace now remains. The follow
ing touching reference is made to it
by Thomas Moore:
Remember the glories of Brian the brave.
Though the days of the hero are Ger,
Though lost to Minona and cold in the
grave
He returns to Kincora no more.
Holy Isle," was identified with events
in the lives of st. Patrick and Brian
Boru. 1t was the home of St. Camin,
who founded monastery there early
in the seventh century. This was de-
stroyed by the Danes in 834, but the
ruins were subsequently replaced by
a number Of churches erected by Bril-
an Boru after be had defeated the
Danes. OF those churches nothing now
remains but a round tower overlooking
the water, and by it stands ruined
wall partially covered with ivy and
other creeping plants. Close by the
ruins is clump Of bushes, and under
these is cave, which is known as st.
Patrick's Purgatory.
The legend has it that st. Patrick
implored the Lord to remove the en-
trance to purgatory to Ireland so that
doubters might believe in the immor-
tality of the soul and the punishment
which awaits the goddess after DEATH
God granted the saints petition, and
the cave on Irish Kiltra became hence
forth, as. believed by thousands, the
entrance to purgatory.
However the story originated, it is a
sufficient guarantee that St. Patrick
was closely identified with the island
and the cave. The place was regarded
US holy from time immemorial and is
still so regarded by many. For cen
turtles pious monks guarded the en-
trance to the cave, and during the mid
die ages great numbers fiocked to the
place from all parts of Europe. An
nual professions were made to the sa-
cred locality within recent years and
are probably not discontinued even W
to the present.

The country after about five or six
miles from the Ohio is very broken
and uneven with high sharp hills.

three miles and slept near the forty

One OF the few times when all the
members of the state delegation in the
House of Representatives found them
selves voting together occurred one
day this week. The bill was one lay
ing down rules and laws for the coh-
duct OF the juvenile court Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and the solid lineup
took place on vote on an amendment
proposed by Clarke. Of Florida. This
amendment proposed to write into
law that white and negro children
should be segregated. AS n matter Of
fact they are in all institutions Of the
district, and will continue to be, but
there is no written law providing for
1t. The negro leaders here do not OBJ
jcct to the practice, favor 1t In fact,
but did object to having 1t specified
and made mandatory in statute. The
colorcd folk are very sensitive about
that. it seemed from the sectional de-
bate which was provoked by the
amendment. The amendment was de-
feated. and the West Virginia men,
