Conditions Point to Famine ir Emerald Isle in Winter, Dublin, Aug. 22.--Potato blight has appeared in every county of Ireland. Sporadic cases were noticed in Con: naught three weeks ago, after which time the disease spread with alarm- ing rapidity. In several districts every field is completely blackened. Government officials are making in- vestigations. The blight points to a serious po- tato famine next winter, but the petisants are less alarmed than in pre vious years, as the remittances from their relatives in America are larger than usual this seapon. Ireland's potato crop was ravagel by blight in 1545 and 1846. The en- e crop fuiled. The worst famine and pestilence known to modern Euro- history raged through Ireland during the next few years. One<quar- ter of the population, which was at that time more than 8,000,000, fs said by some authorities to have died of starvation. Fngland 'and (he United States sent large sums of money and quantities of food, bub all contribu- tions were inndequate, The cause of tho potato blight is a disease in the ts that affects fhe tubers, produce. ng decay. i et ---- DOG FOLLOWED MAN And He Was and Con. | Pleas Wa Muna } Madrid, Aug.
