Of the role OF Terrence DIVER, and were
captivated by the exquisite quality and
far.resching power of his superb tenor
voice, it ls unnecessary at this late date
to again cali attention to the fact that in
bis particular line he stands without Il
rival. "Mavourneen', as it's title indi-
Gates, is descriptive OF Ireland and ite
people, and in this respect it might be-
we'll to mention that the description is
the most faithful ever shown on the
American stage.
It represents the better classes of Irish
society, and does 80 in such pleasing
way that the audience sees only the
brightest spots in the Irish nature, the
cheap villainy aud nerve, destroying mis-
cries which form the basis of SO many
alleged Irish plays having for once
been relegated to the background where
it is hoped they will remain.
'Mavourneen" is handsomely staged,
the scenery forming very picturesque
background for the illustration of the
pretty little love story which runs
through it's four acts. There is an album
dance OF COMEDY Of the right sort, and
s]l in all the production is one which
merits the very best patronage. Mr.. Oh

Father Cleary's Discourse on 1l1temperance
atLabor Temple Last Sunday.
Father Cleary, the esteemed pastor Of
st. Char es church, preached to large
congregation at Labor Temple last Sun
day evening ON "The Folly of the Drink
Habit" The audience was highly dt-
lighted with the address, which was very
temperate in language, considering the
nature OF the subject. In the course of
his address he said:
:Of all the objectionable follies to
which we Americans must plead guilty,
the habit of excessive drinking ranks
first. This widespread national evil en-
tails more dire consequences upon us
than all other national vices combined.
1t weakens mans intellectual powers. 1t
units the brightest minds for profess.
sional duties; it is sin against reason, 6
dishonoring of the image of God stamped
upon the human soul. 1t deadens con-
science, ensiaves mans will, obscures his
moral vision and debases the nobjest OF
men. With pitiless greed it RODS the
poor mans purse, dissipates his hard
earned money and casts wife aud chill
dren out upon the cold charity of the
world. It bliehts domestic happiness,
withers the fondest hopes that human
hearts have cherished, and revels in the
midst OF the desolation it has wrought.

The Banshee.

Who is it, says Mary Teresa O Brien in
the Church News, that has lived or trav-
eled in Ireland and heard of the Ban
shee, woman from the spirit world who
is supposed to follow some family, and
when death draws near any Of them is
sure to give warning by CRYING. With
what devout belief and fear heard in
years long since past of that mysterious
woman that haunted Old family houses
and brought death with her appearance.
There died lately the descendant of an
ancient and historic family. Standing
by his cofin dreary winter night my
thoughts went back to an old mansion
by Mu, ster lake where there was ira
dition that for hundreds Of years Ban
sbee was seen and heard when any Of
the old family died. In fancy I could
see farmer going home late from the
market town and plow-b boy whistling
as he went along from the village dance,
and as they passed near the old Tulla
House would hear the nournful cry for
him who was dying beyond the sea.
Zone Of the old house gone they would
say, and with that beautiful custom
which many of the Irish Catholics have

previous arrangement with the election
board every courtesy was extended. She

She then demanded to make an affidavit

This is test case to be carried to the
supreme court of the state under instruc-
tions of the State Suffrage association. A
recent decision of the supreme court on
the right of women 10 practice law in In
diana has inspired this action. The quail
ification for suffrage in the state says that
male may vote, but does not say a female
shall not. If the decision is good law
women may vote as well as practice law.

five story building is perfectly fitted
for the scientific preparation of this
food product. Everything is spotlessly

most improved, and every precaution is
taken to secure the production of an
absolutely pure and wholesome food.
All processes are under the direction OF

attention to details as does the most
