years training In the schools. This is the
one association that appeals to all good
mothers. Mrs. Cleveland, it will be re-
membered, took great interest in establishing
free kindergartens in New York city, and
since her residence here-as first lady of the
land-has continued to lend her presence and
influence to kindergarten workers, being one
of the founders of the Washington Kinder
garten Society.
Mrs. Sarah Brown Ingersoll Cooper, the
president of the National kindergarten
Union, has probably established more Of
these children's gardens than any other kim
dergartner in America
In 1879 she wrote several very forcible az
ticles for the San Francisco Bulletin, one par
ticularly, entitled 1.-The kindergarten a Rem
edy for Hoodlumism," thatiattracted a good
deal Of attention: and another, "a History
of the Silver Street kindergarten.
Mrs. Cooper is assisted in her work by her
daughter. and they now supervise over thirty
kindergartens in San Francisco. in which
10000 children spend two or three happy
hours each day.
Mrs. Coopers influence has been felt par
REGULARLY throughout the Western States,
where she has been privileged to work di-
rectly, and through the press in all the States
Of the Union. she is vice president OF the
Pacific Coast Woman Press Association.
The greatest honor conferred upon her she
considers TO be her election to membership
in the Pan-American Republic Congress. one
of five women Of the world so distinguished.

CAPS AND FLARING EARS.
Does the Absence of One Account for the
Presence of the Other?

Does the Absence of One Account for the
Presence of the Other?
Many years ago grandmothers made dainty
little caps of muslin, silk or lace, and these
adorned the heads of all infants, both by
night and day. After time baby caps went
out of vogue, and no substitute was ever con-
trived to replace them.
This seems like quite an unimportant
statement one which may merely recall to
the memory OF some few elderly people that
baby caps were worn long years ago.
But let US ask: Chow many people do you
notice, of the age of fifty years or there
abouts, whose ears fare away or set off from
the head? How many younger peoples ears
grow close, or on a line parallel to the head?''
Is it not strange thing to note that in all
these years of study into the means of i'm
proving and beautifying the human face and
form, no philosopher has given attention to
the falling away in grace of the human ear?
Indeed, it is only lately that device was
offered to restore the contour of the head by
forcing the ear back into pcsition-and all
because baby caps went out Of fashion
those little caps which kept the tiny ears in
place until nature held them there through
growth.

COUNTESS DIvoNNE's TROUBLES
She Is III at the Everett and Her Husband
Is on the Ocean.

She Is III at the Everett and Her Husband
Is on the Ocean.
Count Divonne was among the passengers
who sailed for Europe on Wednesday The
announcement that Count Divonne has gone
abroad while his wife is lying critically i'll at
the Everett, in this city, under the care OF
physician and attended bytwo trained nurses,
will undoubtedly create somewhat OF sem
sation in society.
Especially is this true when it is under
stood that Countess Divonne's mother, Mrs.
Audenreid. is still in Florida, and though
regularly in receipt OF news OIL ner daughter
condition. declines TO return to Washington
and end what will undoubtedly prove one OF
the most sensational contests at law that
Washington has ever had to deal with In the
fashionable set.
The fact that Count Divonne has sailed for
Europe Just at this iuncture is accounted Tor
by his friends upon the ground that his mis-
sion to Europe is most diplomatic one, re-
quiring his personal attention.
The facts of the case reveal that the Divon-
mes while in Europe were enjoying life from
much higher notch than even their most in
diligently minded friends on this side the
water had any idea OF.
Not only was the countess fortune OF
S65, ,000 inherited from her father, scattered

Mrs. Paran Stevens followed suit, as well as
minor sums of less magnitude. Now it trans
pires that $4,000 was raised on the silver
and Jewels received by the countess as we'd
ding presents.
Upon the various dates on which the notes
given by the count and countess for this loan
of S15, 900 has fallen due, the original pos
SCISSORS of the silver and jewels have been un-
able to meet them. In consequence of this
fact the valuables have several times been pub
llcly advertised for sale.
Since the Divonnes have been in this coun-
try they have had a friend in Paris to loo
after their interests in the matter, and II pos
sible to save the silver. Quite recently there
came letter to Count Divonne telling him
that only his immediate presence in Paris
could avert the entire loss of the valuables,
and it was in response to this communica-
tion that he sailed at once for Paris. The
length of his stay is of course indefinite.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LOYAL
WOMEN OF AMERICAN LIBERTY.

The Association of Loyal Women Of Ameri-
can Liberty was organized in June, 1883, in
Boston, Mass.
Since that time the work has grown to the
fostering of a patriotic public sentiment re-
garding all American institutions, and to the
publication of national and municipal gov

There are different departments of work in
the organization to carry out these ideas on
religions, educational, patriotic, and philan-

lectures and public meetings held in behalf Of
its objects.

THE MEN AND WOMEN
or the Sacred PassIon''-Sermon by Bishop
Donohue Yesterday

Donohue Yesterday
There was a large congregation at
the Cathedral last evening Bishop
Donahue preached a very eloquent ser
mon on The Men and Women OF the
Sacred Passion" An extract OF the
discourse follows:
The Right Rev. preacher by way OF
exordium spoke of the usefulness oil
turning for time our gaze from the
central figure of any great act or
movement and studying the minor
characters of the drama. These often
show the strength and the weakness
of human hearts. the springs or mo-
tive. the play of passion. the heaVy
fall and the rise to grace; in word
because they are of our own clay we
feel i'm them warm, deep and persohai
interest. Besides the record OF their
acts is also the inspired word and, in
the language of st. Paul, what things
so ever were written were written 1Or
our learning.
A commanding figure in the tragedy
of Calvary is Peter. He is the EN-
bodiment of earnestness, fire, faith
all that is big-hearted and broad and
manly except in the one great crisis
He uttered the immortal act of faith
Thou art Christ the son of the living
Cod He was a man OF mettle ana
spokesman in all emergencies. In
every community, in every parish there
are counterpafts of Peter. and despite
their faults we love them. His radical
faults were merely natural affection
for our divine Lord, an inability to
comprehend the nature of his mission
and more than all an Overweening con
iidence in himself. He wanted to die
with our Lord: though all the world
were scandalized in Him he would not
be scandalized. Though one against Z
thousand he drew his sword in defense
of his Master but after that his cour-
age oozed from his finger tips and with
the other disciples he fed
Although, however, Peters fall was
foreordained of God to show him anc
all congregations the insufficiency OF
human strength, still the occasion OF
that fall was a woman's inQuisitive-
ness land woman's tongue. The
preacher enlarged upon this theme

that he sins daily, he feels that God is
against him instead OF being with
him. But here again the words of
our text revives his hopes. for when he
thinks of what God has done for poor
sinners, he becomes more confident
than ever that God will freely give him
grace to overcome his sinful nature
and all his sins.
Yes, God will freely give to us, that
is, he will not be in the least re
luctant TO give, but will anxiously and
joyfully give, without recompense,
without money, and without price.
