A CONGRSS3 OF SCOT H-IRIcH BLOOD IN T LOUISVILLE Tfc lr National Society Has Grown to Magnificent Proportions, and is Piling Up Matter for an Interesting Historical Work—Notable Men of Yesterday and To-day. (Copi/right.t KIW Yokk, May 9.—The city of Louis ville will entertain distinguished visitors this wevk. On Thursday will assemble there the third annual congress of the Scotoa-lnsh Society of America, and it is certain that the gathering will be notable, not only for the number, but for the promi nence of those who attend. The invitation of the city is extended through her representative bodies, the local Scotch Irish Society,;tho board of trade and the Commercial dub. The exercises will be held in the Alasouio Temple theater, a large audience chamber situated in the heart of the city, and also in the groat Auditorium. These exercises will consist of reports of 1 officers and oommittees, the annual election, ! and many addresses, some of which will j be of a historical nature, and others de- j voted to the immediate prosperity of the 1 society. Among the notable men who will be heard on this occasion are Gov. Buchner, Con gressmen W. C. P. Breckinridge, J. Proctor Knott, Henry Wattersou, Judge William Lindsay of Kentucky, the Rev. Dr. John Hall of New York, the Rev. J. li. Bryson of Alabama, A. E. Stevenson of Il.inois; the Rev. John H. Molntosh cf Pennsylva nia, the Rev. Stuart Atcheson of Toronto, Canada, and Francis D. Ward, ex-presi dent of the Chamber of Commerce of Bel fast, Ireland, who will attend as a delegate from that body. The congress proper will be held on the morciugs and afternoons of May 14,15 and 16. On Sunday evening, May 17, an old time Scotch-Irish religious service will be held and Dr. John Hall will preach the ser mon. Everything will lie done to make this service the counterpart of those which were held 100 years ago. Rouse’s version of the psalms will be used, and the hymns will be “lined off” in the old style. Such a service was held at the society's convention last year in Pittsburg in Me chanic hall, which seats 6,000 people. Some idea of the interest it awakened may be ob tained from a contemplation of the fact that just about as many people were turned away as were able to hud places in the vast auditorium. This enormous and unexpended avoca tion resulted in some amusing complica tions. I recently had the pleasure of hear ing some anecdotes of the occasion from Robert Bonner of New York, who is presi- dent of the society. “In company with the Rev. Dr. Bryson,” said Mr. Bonner, “1 came before the door of the great hall just fifteen minutes before the hour at which the meeting was to open according to the announcements we had made. We found the fire marshal at the door, and he refused to let us in, because the law compelled him to provide against the danger of panic in case of fire, and the building already held as many people as ho thought might safely enter it. ‘Well, as for me,’ said I to the marshal, ‘yon may do os you like, but Dr. Bryson is simply obliged to get in, for he is to deliver the second address.’ Wo then introduced our selves more formally, and the marshal de cided that we might entor. “Ten minutes behind us was Dr. Hall, who was to take charge of the meeting. He had been dining at the house of a lady well known in Pittsburg for her many charities. This lidy aud her daughter were with Dr. Hall, but they had to go home again; the marshal c u.d not let them in. And Dr. Hall himself had to present the necessities of the case very strongly in order to gain admittance. I don’t believe that there ever were so many people in Pittsburg before besieging the doors of the house of wor ship.” No doubt there will be Similar scenes at Louisville. The succe-s of the meeting may be taken as t-pical of the society’s career. The idea of its formation origi nated in the brain of Col. Thomas T. Wright, then a merchant in Femaoola, Fla., but now a resident of Nastiviile, Tenn. This was a little more than three years ago. He wrote to ex-Gov. (then governor) Taylor of Tennessee, suggertiug the organization, and received an enthusiastic affirmative re sponse. The men of Scotch-irish descent in Tennessee look hold of the plan with eager ness. Prominent among them were Mayor Pillow of Columbia, Tenn., and Mr. A. C. Floyd u young lawyer of that city, now secretary of the society, It was from Gov. Taylor that Mr. Bonner and other notable men of Scotch-Irish de scent in the east heard of the project. There wa6 an extensive correspondence, by means of which Scotch-Irish people all over the country heard what was going on, and the result of it was that the convention, or more properly mass meeting in Columbia, Tenn., in May, 1889, was attended by about 5,000 persons, so many, in fact, that no building in the city would hold them, and they were obliged to hold thetr meetings in a great tent on the public green. It was one of the most harmonious and enthusiastic gatherings ever held in this Oouutry. An organization was formed which, strong in the beginning, has grown steadily and rapidly, resulting in the for mation of local societies in many states and cities, and bringing together m the national body a vast cum: er of men. When the society attains its full natural proportions nd becomes thoroughly unified it will no doubt be one of the most powerful organi zations in the country. Although everybody knows the prepon derance of Presbyterian proclivities among the Scotch Irish, the society is absolutely non-sectarian. It is also non-partisan. Its present object is the collection of material for a history of the Sootcli-Irish race, and to that end it invites contributions from all who have appropriate data at command. Already an immense amount of valuable matter has been obtained; an incredible number of ths men who have moulded the destinies of this country have been proven to have sprung from this indomitable race. Among them are Patrick Henrv, Thomas JefTerson, John Witherspoon, John Paul Jones, James Madison, John Marshall, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, James Buchanan, Lincoln and Grant. Then there was stout old Davy Crocket aud Sam Hous ton, the Washington of Texas: Robert Ful ton and Horace Greeley; and that remarka ble family, the Perrys. In regard to the last named I will quote from a letter whioh President Bonner re cently received, because it shows the man ner in which material for the Scotch-Irish history is coming in all the time. A lady writes from a Connecticut city as follows: “I beg to mention among the sailors of New England, of Scotch-Irish blood, my five uncles Commodore O. H. Perry of Lake Erie fame. Captain Raymond, H. S. Perry, who commanded one of tho vessels on Lake Champlain under Commodore McDonough, Commodore M. C. Perry, who crowned a life of naval distinction and glory, by open ing the ports of Japan to the commerce of the world; Lieutenant James Alexander Perry, who died at the age of *2O he wa. a midshipman at the time of the battle of Lake Erie, wanting a little of twelve years old; he acted as Commodore Perry’s aid,, and was voted a sword by congress, being probably the youngest recipient of a sword of honor iu the world. My youngest uncle, Nathaniel Hazard Perry, a purser in the navy, wot too young to take any part in the war of 1812—born, 1804; died, 18G2. Their lather was Commodore C. It. Perry, U. H. N., who had some Scotch Irish blood in his veins from his mother. Tlu*ir mother w>> Sarah Alexander, of County Down, daughter of ,-arah Wallace and Jaiuus Ale Minder." Such historical references as this, with tracing of the Scotch-Irish disown t, are desired ov tin society aud they are coining fL. ,f* “' r named more men of ccop.h lr.sh blood who are pr uiiuent iu this country's history, than I could have called with no limitation as to deecent. Mr. Bonner’s enthusiasm in this research made him the victim of a good bit of satire, shot at him by Mr. Oliver Dyer, long ass. -mated with the Bonr-ers in the "Ledger office, and known to everybody in New York. Mr. Bonner had been giving Mr. Dyer a formi dable list of noted Scotch-Irishmen, and was diving further and further into the depths of history, when the Mr. Dy- r interrupted him with the remark: “If you keep on you’ll make nut St. Paul to be Sootch-Ir.sU.” There is no need of going back - > far as that. Even in these alleged degenerate days there are plenty of Scotch-Irish worth mentioning, as a glance at this list of the society's rffleers will show: President, Robert Bonner, New York city; Vice President lieneral, Rev. J. S. Mclntosh, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa; first vice president at large. J. F. Johnston, Birmingham, Ala.: second vice president at large, T. T. Wright, Nashville, Teno.; Secretary, a. O. Floyd. Columbia, Tenn., Treasurer, Lucius Frierson, Columbia, Tenn.; vice presidents fur states and terri- tories, New Hampshire, James W. Patter son, Concord; Massachusetts, Prof. A. L. Perry, Williamstown; Connecticut, D. S. Caffioun, Hartford; New York, Rev. John Hall, D. D., New York city, Penn- I sylvania, CoL A. K. McClure, Phlia | delphia; New Jersey, Thomas N.

Hugh MillerThomps .Jack-on; Louisiana, V\ llhaul Preston Johnston, New Orleans; Tennessee, A. G. Adams, Nashville; Kentucky, Dr. Herv y McDowell, Cyn thiana; Ontario, Canada, A. T. Wood, Hamilton. Almost ail tho states represented hero have local societies in a flourishing condi tion. That in California, of which Mr. Montgomery is president, is such an im portant oiganlzation that there was some talk of its being the entertainer of this year’s congress, but tho distance Droved a bar. Mr. M ntgomery. who has no end of money and a very generous heart, has re cently given foO.OOU for the erection of tho state society’s building in San Francisco. Pennsylvania is a stronghold of the Scotch- Irish. The state society has Dr. Mclntosh for president. Misaddress before the con gress this year will be on “Our Pledge to Posterity; or tho Scotch-Irish To-day and To-morrow.” Tennessee is also particularly strong in that element of a sturdy population. The president of the state society is R. Campbell of Nashville. At present tho headquarters of the national society inay be said to be in Columbia, Tenn., where the saeretary, Mr. Floyd, resides. There has been some discussion as to the erection of a building as the society’s home, hut that will come later. When it is put up it rn.-iv be in Pittsburg, but that is not settled. Columbia, which if it were not so far soutu, would bo tho place, for it is. os one may say, too birthplace of the society; aud, besides, it stands in tbut grant of land given to Lien. Greene after tho revolutionary war, which became the rally ing center for early Scotch-Irish influence in what was then called the west. Prob ably Columbia won’t get it, in spite of tho argument iti Its favor, and everybody will be sorry, for as Mr. Bonner said (though not about this particular matter), “They’re such a flno lot of fellows around Columbia, that we hate to leuve them.” David Wechsler.

Yah's Weak Crew fortheThames Con test The tßy Amateurs Crac<c Dcuble-Scu’l Teams-The Manhattan and tha Scm -Professional Oarsmen. (Copyright ) New Yoek, May U.—The eorninsr season will be as full of interest upon the water as the different rowing clubs can make it. The preparations fur a reason of aquatic sport were never before made upon such an ex. tensive scale, aid certainly never were so many thousand young men keenly interested in results. Yale, which has pretty regularly beaten Harvard on the Tuames since the adoption of the famous "Cook stroke," was seldom in so bad a case as this year. The talk of a " week crew” is always heard in April, both at Harvard and Yale, as regularly os the report of an irreparab’y ruined peach crop in Delaware, but this time ttieie seems to bo some foundation f r the reports, so far as Yale is concerned. Two men only of last year’s victorious eight are to row. Strums audCapt. Bro.vster, and the latter, the rn ,st valuable man of the crew, has b-eu ill ail the sprint', though perhaps not quite so ill as it has pleased nis partisans to represent. Next to Brewster, the public are most inter ested in the giunt 20-1-pound lieffeifinger, who will probably row in toe crew for the first time. The lightest man in the crew will probably be lialliet, 160, or Simms, 167, so that there is plenty of beef and brawn to rely npon, if three weeks of Bob Cook’s training can civilize arid train it. The Harvard men, siuce their new rowing tank has been placed in working order, u o con fident of giving tue weakened Vales a harder puil this year than lust. They bavo been hard at work all winter oa the tank in the Cary building. The university race, though undoubtedly the chief rowing event in the year in the eyes of the public, and es not int rest so many real umaleur oarsmen as the national re gatta at Washington in August, or even the New England ai.d Middle States regattas in June and July. Within oannon shot of the battery there are twenty-three rowing clubs which are members of the Middle States Itegatta Association, and ru st of these will send some rep esentutives to the national rogations v.ill. 'ihe:r aggregate meuiber stdp runs well into the Uii.un.iuda, and the number of young men who o. erish the am bition to puli in tha championship crews must be fully half of the total. The crews of eight are not in many cases fully made up yet, and interest centers for the present in the "practice form” of the double and single scullers. As good a team, perhaps, as will be afloat, it no ncc.dents happen, will be Kreetli and Platt of the \ aruuas. These young men won prottv caarly everything they tried their hands at last year, but slipped up oa the national, losing it to the Toronto team, as they claim, through inability to see their opponents at tho finish, oelng to the sun on the water and to a little trouble about tho finish line. George Freeth is ore of the most extraor dinary oa iinen one ever looked upon. At first glance you might tako him for a con sumptive almost, a thin, light young chan, who weighs 140 pounds iu training and less out of it. But he is nervous, and ibose who row with him in tho four aud eight say it's impossible for him to row easy. He simply can't do it. Iu ISB9 he proved his mettle as a single sculler, boating everybody but Denny Donohue, but this year ha will prob ably not row single. Piatt, who is a much heavier man, will uphold the Varuua’s flag in the single shell rank. The Manhattau Athletio Club’s best singles are Pllkiiigton, Nagle and Hawkinc, nnd the double will be made up, probably, of the two latter. Pilkirigtou and Nagle were the champion, of 1889, Nagle won the Long Island championship single last year, an ! Hawkins is a “coining man.” About this same Hawkins there is a good deal of criticism afloat just now among the other rowing clubs, whose members charge that he is at least half a professional. Hawkins has tho leisure to spend his entire time on tho water, and oarsmen want to know how ho can afford it. not being wealthy, and how clerks and laborers who can only practice a few hours each week are to contend fairly with men like him. They would also like to know why a M. A. C. man should prac tice on Saratoga lake. It is undoni< and that the Mauhattans have a way of saying to promising athlete; everywhere: Come with us; it shan’t cost you a cent iu dues.” So, it is charged, were Pllkington and Nagle lured away from the Met ropolitan B. C. It is charged, also, that the treasurer of the club will give a man like Hawkins his railroad tickets and SIOO for “expenses” to go to a regatta, when it doesn't cost him anything like that sum. There is always more orlesß growling about this sort of thing among tho poorer clubs, which cannot afford this generosity', and it may break out into on open war at uny time. However, professionals or not, the Manhattan men will have to work for what ever honors they win. Another pair of phenomenally rapid scullers are Messrs. Bushman aud Sharkey, of the Ravenswoods. They are in training on Newtown creek, of malodorous memory, with an occasional spin uuen the East river when the tide is at the turn and the wind not too strong. They rowed together for the first time last year and made an excel lent record. The rivalry between these two men and the Varuna Seniors will be espe cially keen, ns both belong to tho Long Island Association. The Atalantas of New York are striving to get up another race this year with the Yale University craw, though in a similar struggle last year the Atalantas were badly beaten. They' will also put strong eight and four-oared teams in the middle states and national regattas. The crack four oared ore.v of tho Atalantas is a curious illustration of New York’s mixed nationalities. It is always culled the “Dutch and Irish” crew, being made up of the Dempsey brothers and the Lau brothers. The Atalantas have the largest purely aquatic club in New York and are of the largest iu the coentry, and though they do not have a powerful organi zation like tho Mauhattans at their back they put more oarsmen upon the water than any other club, own more boats and send to the regattas a good share of win ners. Their specialty is crew work rather than doubles and singles, and their great barges are a feature of the Harlem. Adolph Lave, who was for some years the champion of the Long Island Associa tion ss a single, besides pulling in a winning four for the Eagle cup, w ill try his luck again for single championship honors. Ha was not very prominent last season, but his friends"say he will show the benefits this year of lying fallow for oue vear. The Metropolitans, deserted by their old time champions, Piikmgton and Nagle, will try, it is said, Geoffert and O’Reagtin, tho veterans and ox-champions. Here is possi bility cf a hitch, however, for Gooffert is one of those semi-professionals against whom tho most vigorous protest has been made, aid he cannot row, uule>s re instated bv the National associa tion, in the August regatta. There is great uoed of a vigorous re organization of the amateur clubs, nnd a final settlement of tho great question “what is an amateur?” and “who are the ama teurs?” Rowing is very popular at preont, but it cannot remain so if amateurs are much longer expected to row against men who are paid to tieat. them. There is i:o de partment of sport in whioh amateurs can permanently cope with men who moke It a business, as excellence is quite as much a question of training ■ of original rapacity, and a umu vrho handies u yardstick all day cannot train scientifically. New Yoi k oarsmen are somewhat exer cised about the future of their sport because of the rapid degeneracy of the Harlem as a rowing stream. It is already little more Uian a mud stream, s'aroely larger then the TANARUS! aue* at London. When the ship ■ anal is completed it will be muffing uiors tnan a -anal Itself, bulkhead*! all its length and full of traffic. Even now It is so crowded tlmt good practice rowing is almost impossible. The Hudson and East r.ver are almo-t iivariaby rough with tide and wind. There are very few dava when it is postbie to do much upon them with a shell except just before sunaet wheu the tide is right. The bay at Bay ; Ridge is even worse. It is, perhaps, a sign of the future that the Varur.as are looking t -ward feheenshead Bay for a refuge and tho Metropolitans have already a club house ou the Passaic as well as on the Harlom. Quieter waters must certainly besought. That, in snite of the big and turbulent tidal arms of the sea with which it is their fate to contend, thi New York oarsmen make such a brave showing at regatta after regatta Is certainly in the highest degree creditable to their pluck and skill. David Wechslrr. MET AFTER S .VENTiSEN YEAR'S. Henry Pierce Recognizes Fis Mother in an Old Depot Apple Woman. From the Chicago Seta. After seventeen years of separation Henry Pierce and his mother met by accident at the union depot on Saturday. Iu 1874 young Pierce, then aged 12 years, ran away from home in Jackson, Mich. HU father, who was a well-to-do merchant, made every possible effort to find his son, but without success. From the day he left home nothing was heard from him. A year or so after, bis sou ran away toe elder Pierce failed in business and in less than a year died, leav ing penniless his Wife and a young daughter. For a time the widow man aged to support both herself ard daughter by taking m sev> i g, but her health failed and they were reduc'd to abject poverty. About a year after her father's death the daughter died. The mother decided to come to Chicago, where she had friends. Hers was the old story of friends m prosperity indifferent iu adversity. Again for a time she supported U -rse.f With her noodle, bat fading sight compelled h- r to seen other m ans of earning a livelihood. She began selling irui- at the railway depots, and man aged to sustain a comfortless existence. After leaving his nome in Jackson Pierce vent to Detioit, where for a tune he made his living black: g boots an l telling pap-re. Soon tiring of th,t sort of lifo he drifted to New Y< rk, where he secured employment with the wholesale clothing firm of Hart weli, Me keel & Cos., with uhoin ho has since teen, and is now the junior member of tho firm. About ten days ago he left New York for a business trip in me west. After a fovv days’ stay in St. Louis he arrived here last Saturday morning on the Chicago & Alton train on his way to St. Faul. While waiting about the depot for h:s train he was approached by the old apple womau with her basket of fruit. Soinethiug in the voice and ms mors of the old UJy at tracted li s attention, and after buying some of her fruit ho engaged her in conversation. She told him ihe story of her life, and the fact suddenly dawn 'd on his mind that the old lady was hD mother. Reminiscmicos were exchanged and old times recalled until each vas com-icceo that mother and s-m had met. The basket of fruit was soon disposed of. Entering a cab they were driven to a dry g . oils store, where he pur chased her anew cloak, gloves and other articles of clothing. From tiro dry goods store they were diiveu to the old lady’s room, near the depot, where she collected a few of her effect.-*, among them a picture of her son, taken a short time before he left home. It was a happy couple that left for St. Paul on the late train. A HIDDEN DANGER. Candy Called Cream Almonds Nearly Causes a Child's Death. From the Baltimore American. That death lurks in so innocent-locking and palatable a thing as cream almonds would scarcely be believed, but their eating by a child on Saturday almost caused her death. On Saturday evening last Dr. Ho er Smith, residing at tho corner of Pennsyl vania avenue extended and Retreat street, in Clifton, came very near losing his little daughter, Lola, aged 4 years, a bright and interesting child, who bad eaten two of these cream almouds. He purchased some cf the candy for her, and shortly before tea she was taken vio lently ill. Her lips swelled out to three times their natural size, her eyelids were bloated, her feet and knees swollen and paralyzed, her pul-e weak and quick, and her respiration difficult. The little girl was on the very verge of death. Her distressed parents tried in many ways to arouse her from her stupor; but all to no purpose. Artificial respiration had to be reported to. Dr. Smith administered an antidote com posed of aromatic spirits of eramoniaand salicylate of soda. He worked untiringly for several hours before his little daughter showed signs of recovery. Several days before this Lola ate one of the cream tiimoiids while playing with one of her little friends. She then showed symptoms almost similar to those mani fested on Saturday, but of a very mild character. Dr. Smith, whiie laboring to save his daughter Saturday, detected on her breath the scent of hydrocyanic acid, or prussic acid. Yes ter nay be made a partial chemical analysis of n number of the cream almonds, which led him to the conviction that they contained hydro cyanic, or prussic acid, a deadly poison. The kernel in tho caady, ho said, was not that of the almond, buts peach kernel, and the deadly poison cams by chemical pro cess, from the enveloping of the kernel by the sugar, or candy coating. A man, he said, might eat a dozen of them without danger to himself, bat two or threa contain ing ns much acid as tho is consumed by his daughter.' would be sufficient to kill a child of tender years. His daughter has com pletely recovered. Dr. Smith will make a thorough analysis of the candy during the week. cwiziKvy* l ROAC H DESTROY KK, ggg^ jitfiSElißjST MACON LUMBEK.
