THE GoSsIPss DANCE.
Organization of the CIub-Its Menu
hera

The "Gossips.'' a very popular club of
young ladies, gave subscription dance
IN Hasbrouck Hall last night. Everything
conspired to make the dance the perfect
success it was. 1t was a delightful night
for dancing, the music was excellent. the
door was well waxed and there were
plenty of dancing men and girls. The
stage was prettily arranged with chairs
and sofas. and softly shaded lamps. but
SO interested were they in the dance that
few left It even for the pleasure of a
tete-a-tete in such surroundings. It was
a pretty scene. The handsome gowns of
the ladies made many bright spots of
color in the brilliantly lighted room. In
the kindergarten room refreshments were
served by Wood Brothers.
The "Gossips'' have been in existence
four years; that is these particular Cos
sip have been banded together for that
length of time. They meet the second and
fourth Monday evenings in each month
at the residence of one of the nine mem
bers. AT these meetings there is a liter
airy programme and, of course, a gossip.
Men are rigidly excluded. The officers and
members are:-Miss Mamie Higgins.
President; Miss Kate Bradley, Vice-Presi
dent; Miss Cahill. Secretary: Miss Aid
liuSe, treasurer, MISS Margaret McGrath.
Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Morris, Miss Mary
Morris and Miss Hewitt
Many a pleasant evening and success
fui dance are owing to the efforts of the
Gossips. They nave arranged all sorts
OF things from an ordinary dance to a
taiy-ho ride. Two dances were given last
year and there will be another given be-
fore the season ends.
Among those who were present at this
enjoyable dance were: Mr.. and Mrs.

'MlRACLESl IN MEDICINE,
The Wonderful Progress Made Within
The Past Few Years.
Diseases That Our Mothers Thought IncurahIe
Now Cured by Paine's CELERY COMPOUND.

It is dificult. almost Impossible, to
overestimate the Importance Of recent
advances in medicine and surgery.
In surgery there is the application Of
the x-ray in determining complicated
fractures.
In medicine there is the serum-treat~
ment for germ diseases, and mere lmpor-
tant still, the extended use of E'aine's
celery compound in the treatment Of the
many diseases that arise from a faulty
or impaired nervous system.
This class of ailments causes more suf-
ferfng and earlier deaths than all others,
and that Is why so much public promi-
hence was at once given to Paine's celery
compound when its discovery was first
announced by Prof. Phelps of Dartmouth
college.
The rapid n sure way that Faine's
celery compound cures neuralgia. rheu-
matism and nervous debility is marvel
Gus even In the eyes of this wonder
working quarter of the century.
Ancient miracles were contrary Il, nat
ural laws, whereas the remarkable power
Of Paine's celery compound to make peo-
pie well, comes from a better understand
ing of he natural causes of disease
That wonderful set of nerves known as
he sympathetic nervous system that
knits every part of the body together
and barmonizes all, is understood today
as never before. Many persons are not

wherever it has been given. will be the
attraction at the Academy Of Music next
Monday evening. 1t will be given here
with the original scenery Int the horses

spoken of as the most spirited representa-
ton of a race ever placed upon the stage.
Another striking and unique feature is
the ~pickaninny band. composed Of little
darkies gathered In the South by the
management and trained especially for
this production. The heroine is a new
type. entirely unlike the siangy Soubrette
"a young girl brought up in the noun
tains and to whom nature has given
dauntless courage, a great soul allied
with charming simplicity, shyness and
true womanliness. The Colonel is a Ken
lucky product, pure and simple, indigen-
GUS to the soil. The plot Is
uonal, with a succession of natural n
logical incidents. exciting, even sensation
al, forming in their entirety a story of
u~nflagging interest. The setting of the
piece has attracted much attention. 1t
is described as appropriate and beautiful,
representing with much fidelity genuine
Kentucky scenes. No melodrama of re-
mended than In Old Kentucky nor did
any other production Of the last two
seasons meet with such remarkable sue

Domestic life In Bethlehem, Il
JJdea.
/ went to Bethlehem

I went to Bethlehem several times, re-
turning usually towards dusk. I con-
stantly met the Bethlehem men, as
they are calied-mechanics, masons, car
p~enters, MISUNDERSTANDING ON foot from
their long and hard days work in Jeru-
salem. The hours of labor In the East
are from sunrise to sunset; and these
men would cave Bethlehem early in the
morning, and, after walking the six
miles to their daily task, work all day,
n walk back at dusk to their late and
scanty supper. The younger men looked
worn out; the older men seemed to nave
lost all strength, and their eyes fire.
Quently looked dull and almost glazed.
/ was invited to visit a family in Beth
lehem. Their home was on the second
floor of a building. 1t consisted of "a
single room, about fifteen feet square,
with a concrete floor, and not a single
article of furniture save a tiny charcoal
stove. 1t was clean: there were plenty
Of windows: N the window stills were
low and broad and were used instead
of chairs. There were little ~cupboards
built in the walls, which held the food
and the few Dishes At one sid of the
room was a large recess, perhaps two
feet deep. three feet high, and six feet
long. Here were piled blankets, rugs
and quilts, neatly folded. At night the
rugs were spread On the fioor and the
family slept ON them, using the blankets
and quilts for covering. On great occa-
sions a little circular table. about three
feet across and one foot high, was used
as a Observation-Disclosures Magazine.

g. E. NATIONAL GATHERING.

In spite of the fact that the United
Society of Christian Endeavor is going
all the way to the Pacific coast for it's
next National gathering, it intends to
make the San Francisco convention the
greatest yet held, if not in numbers at
least in practical suggestions. To that
end formal letters lave just been sent
out from Boston to all trustees and to
many influential, thinkers in sympathy
with the movement, asking for subjects
and men. In previous Christian Endeav-
or conventions the numbers in attendance
has been so great that 1t was often i'm
possible for all delegates to get the best
of what was felt and said. In San Fran
cisco it is thought that with a smaller
crowd greater centering of interest will
be possible. and a better convention fol-
low. For this reason many leading men
of force and weight In the movement
are planning to go to the Pacific coast
who vi not attended these Conventions
for several years past. The weather in
San Francisco, even in July, will not
permit of the use Of tents for any of
the meetings, and 50 closed auditorfums
are to. be used. Two are available, with
a combined seating capacity OF 1900 peo-
pie. Many will not regret the discarding
of the tents. for the experience with tents

but satisfactory,
