Ireland at St. 'Louis. (Dublin Freeman. July 25.) A project .which haa powerful sentimental sen-timental and solid attractions is described de-scribed in our column today in an interview in-terview with Dr. J. J. Kane and Mi. V. J. O'Brien, who have come to Ireland Ire-land as ambassadors from our fellow-countrymen fellow-countrymen in the United States. Next year the greatest exhibition the world has yet seen will be held at St. Louis, in which city these gentlemen are residents, resi-dents, and they have come to organize a separate exhibit for Ireland. As usual, the British officials proposed pro-posed to give Ireland's corner in the British exhibit, but Irish-American sentiment revolted against this and, to use the -words of one of the delegation, delega-tion, their scheme is. in this year En-niet's En-niet's centenary, to give Ireland a place of her own among the .nations of the earth. The exhibition authorities are agreeable, and American feeling generally gen-erally is consistent with the idea of this recognition of Ireland's nationality. To Ireland It is a gratifying compliment of a character too rare. But the material vnlnn lo .lien .-,,11 rf An Irish National World's Fair association as-sociation hts- been in existence in St. Louis for over twelve months. It is composed of wealthy and representative men, many with Irish names like the Rev. D, S. Phelan, editor of The Western West-ern Watchman: Judge J. B. Kenneally and the Hon. J. P. White, with Mr. James A. Reardon as president. The association is prepared to provide at the exhibition a suitable separate pavilion pa-vilion for the Irish exhibit. It has sent the delegation already referred to on f. visit to this country to organize the Irish rait of the scheme. .Dr. Kane is a leading physician in St. Louis, and Mr. P. J. O'Brien occupies a prominent position in the American railway world. I They have credentials from the mayor of St. Louis (Mr. Rolla Wells) and the president of the United Irish league of St. Louis (Mr. John Devoy). Although it Is only a few days since their arrival, they have already had interviews with Mr. P. T. Gill, secretary secre-tary of the department of agriculture, and the lord mayor, of Dublin. Mr. Gill was able to assure them of no opposition op-position from the British royal commission com-mission and of the co-operation of himself him-self and Mr. Horace Plunkett, with the resources of the department, in providing provid-ing worthy exhibits for the Irish pavilion. pa-vilion. The lord mayor has undertaken to assist in forming a working committee com-mittee on this side. After the experience gained at Glas- ! gow and Cork, the department ought ' to have no difficulty In making a creditable cred-itable and interesting contribution to the exhibits, and the lord mayor's committee com-mittee should be useful in giving representative rep-resentative ideas, approval and support. sup-port. Irish industries, representing, if possible, everv county in Ireland, are what : the World's Fair association would like to display. We have not a great field to draw from, but in some departments we can challenge comparison. compar-ison. In . shipbuilding, models of the mammoth Atlantic liners from Belfast will be unio.ue. In lace we can challenge chal-lenge comparison for artistic beautv and variety with France and England. Irish marbles will be a revelation to many of the visitors to the fair. Our cloths and carpets, and various other crnfts and arts, will., prove to our exiled ex-iled brethren,, our American friends, and their cosmopolitan visitors, that if we have. not a share o; the. world's trade we have something of industrial skill, and that as comnared with the show we were allowed to make at Chicago Chi-cago some ten years ago, we have rr.-ide considerable advances all along th? .That the special' attentions given to Ireland will prove' nrofifable to the makn-s of the goods displayed is obvious. ob-vious. Our imports from the United States are comparatively large, and it would bg a great blessing if we could exchange in increasing quantities some of our products, either raw or manufactured, manu-factured, which .would, have a sentimental, senti-mental, as well as an artistic value, among the people of the United States. France and Germany do very well in these small trades, and there is a field for Ireland in this department in America. Amer-ica. No effort should be neglected in making the Irish national exhibit at St. Louis the very best conceivable. It is a grand opportunity. Not to make the most of it would, be the loss of a tide in our industrial affairs which may lead to fortune. |
