The native names in Celtic are Ir, Fri, Erin. Plutarch mentions 1t under the name of Ogygia.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
HAS SUDDEN TURN
. FOR THE WORSE
Unfavorable Condition Due to
Weakening of the Prelate's
Heart, Doctors Say.

BALTIMORE, March 2S.---Cardinal
Gibbons is critically I'll and his death
may come at any time, It was said
at his residence to-day. It was an
nounced that there had been no
change for the better in his condition
over night.
The unfavorable change in the Car
dinal's condition occurred last Sun
day night, when his heart action be-
came weaker and his temperature
lowered to a serious degree. 1t was
hoped that the bad turn would prove
10 be only temporary, and no an
nouncement OF his condition was
made until this evening for fear of
alarming his friends unnecessarily
1t was decided to-day by Bishop
o. n. Corrigan, Vicar General OF
the diocese, that it would be well
TO let the friends Of the Cardinal
know the unfavorable state of at
fairs.
Cardinal Gibbons, who is IN his
eiEhty-seventh year, suffered a phys
ical breakdown last fall, due to too
close application TO diocesan affairs,
and in December went to the home
Of friends in Carroll County for a
rest. He was taken seriously i'll
while there, and on two occasions his
life was despaired of, but his natur-
ally strong constitution prevailed and
ne was able to return to his home
here about the LIST Of January. From
that time until the present he seemed
to improve In health.
