1 IN THE SOCIAL REALM.
-BY MRS. GEORGE c. BALL----vw

constantly growing Since the beginning of the movement more than twenty thousand women have matriculated in these institutions and about five hundred in the Dominion of Canada. Nearly all of these have secured employment and the supply is still much smaller than the demand that many pf..anthropic organiza- tions have started classes in scientific nurs- ing in the large cities, which are well at tended in almost every instance.
 As the number of physicians and sur geons Is about one hundred and twenty five thousand, of whom fifteen thousand are women, 1t is clear that this new move ment is proving of the greatest benefit to the sex. Tue tendency noticeable in every part of the country is toward higher and more difficult standards for medical prac- titioners and diminished ratio in the in- crease of that profession. This acts as an incentive to the growth of the trained nurse system and the establishment Of a new professional class.
 The latest event in this world of activi- ty is the formation of an Alumni associa- tion of the Training School for Nurses of St. Lukes hospital. This is one of the great hospitals of the country and one of the best schools. It has an average mem bership of about sixty, and graduates be- tween fifteen and twenty annually The new association consists of alumnae who are actively engaged in their calling. All others are admitted as honorary members merely Ut has about fifty members and the following boardl of officers: Honorary president, Mrs. l.. w. Quintard; president, Miss Katherine M Pieree; fist vice-presi- dent Mrs. Hermine Stone; second vice. president, Mrs. Harriet M. Lord; secretary, Miss Mary A. Mitchell; assistant secre- tary, Miss Florence E. Tomson; treasurer, Miss J. L. Roberts. The association meets in the hospital building and endeavors to foster social relations among members, to ctah a sinking the bpnent sick and infirm nurses, to keep the mem- bers informed as to new discoveries in the profession and to raise the standards of nursing throughout the union. It is distinct from the two nurses club of this city, but is dedicated to the same end.

Training Schools For
 The Education of Nurses

The constantly increasing demand for trained nurses in the homes of the country as well as in the hospitals and infirmaries, is an incentive to young women to enter schools for instruction and training.
 Many of the most charming and tenderly reared women of the country have become trained nurses, and have devoted their lives to the alleviation of pain and disease. Many of these nurses have inherited tal- ent for medicine from fathers who were physicians, and they have added to their intellectual tendency all the gentleness of refined womanhood. An exchange gives the following data regarding the growth of this profession for women:
 One of the features of the present decade is development of the trained nurse sys- tenn From a mere experiment it has be- come a very powerful influence in the pro- fessional world. There are now about 1S0 schools and over five thousand students, and the number oe sanhonls and scholars is

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant Simple, But Safe Effectual Cure
 For It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable.
 The usual symptoms are full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied SOme- times with sour or watery risings, forma- tion of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing; headache fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling.
 There is often foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, infamed condition.
 The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in treatment which causes the food to be readily thoroughly digested before 1t has a time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
 To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
 According to pr. Harlanson the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal tablet, composed of Diastase, Asep- tic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
 These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a pat ent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals
 MT. N. J. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn St., Chicago, H., writes: "Catarrh is a local condition resulting from neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes unframed and the poisonous discharge therefrom, passing backward into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stom- ach without cure, but today I am the hap

Henry Irving and Miss Terry dates from her appearance in a very small part in Rosemary" when 1t was produced by her uncle, John Drew, in London last spring. She had begun her artistic career with her uncle, Sydney Drew, who died few months ago. She played Lucy in ''The Rivals" but the tour was a short one, and when she returned to New York John Drew, in order to keep her near him, offer ed her the small part. She was then only 15 years old, but acquitted herself so well that when Charles Frohman sent Secret Service" to England, he engaged Miss Bar rymore for one of the minor parts
 She received good deal of attention even in this, but one evening Miss Odette Tyler was i'll and Miss Barrymore, who was her understudy, took her part It happened that Sir Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry occupied a box that same evening, and when watching her, Sir Henry exclaimed:
 'Why, that is the very woman we want in Peter the Great" "
 Nothing was, however, said about it until the day before Miss Barrymore was to sail for America, where she wanted to go to her grandmother, who was then very ill at Larchmont, N. Y. It was only few hours before she was to leave for Liverpool that she received letter from Miss Terry, ask ing her to call on her before she sailed for home. Miss Barrymore went at once. Miss Terry sent for Sir Henry Irving and soon Miss Barrymore had been engaged.

The engagement of Ethel Barrymore, daughter of Maurice Barrymore, and niece of John Drew, to Laurence Irving, son of Sir Henry Irving, will be formally an- nounced in a day or two in London.

Bethel Barrymore has proml- nerlt part in the cast
 This charming young actress has achieved the most remarkable social sue ceas during her brief career in England of amy woman on the stage. She went to London last summer with the Secret Ser vice" company, arl1 was at once taken up by the Duchsss of Manchester. The rest of the theatrical world noted with awe that she was the only actress present at the queens famous garden party at Buck in3llam palace in celebration of the Dia- mond Jubil;e.
 Young as she is, Miss Barrymore has had many suitors for her hand, the young Duke of Manchester being particularly ar deGIt in his attentions.
 Laurence Irving is considered a young man of brilliant possibilities. He is about twenty-five wears old, and, while critics do not admit that iiis "Peter the Great" is a great play, they are unanimous in the opinion tihat 1t gives promise of extraodd- nary dramatic taaent on the part of the author.

WERE HOT TIMES
 IN THE HOUSE
tcontInued From First Page.)

tContinued From First Page.) Mr. Colson concluded his remarks by de- claring that he should vote to uphold the decision of the chair. "But I warn my republican friends he added, "that we have delayed too long the recognition of the insurgents. If we do not act we will be swept out of power. And if we are not given the opportunity to act, I, for one, will join any revolutionary tactics in order to cast my vote for Cuban independence" General appiause)
 After some remarks by Mir. Grow, (rep) of Pennsylvania, there were cries of "vote," "vote," from the republican side. But the debate proceeded for some time. When MT. Hit moved to close debate on the pending paragraph. MT. Bailey at tempted to make the point of order that the question was on the appeal and not on the paragraph, and that MT. Hitt's motion was not out of order, but MT. Hepburn, who was in the chair, held that Mir Bailey's point of order came too late. This announcement was greeted with dem- ocratic jeers.
 q would appeal from that decision," said MT. Bailey, were 1t not that two appeals are not in order at the same time.'
 There was no break in party lines on this motion, which was sustained, 153 to 11S. Speaker Reed marched through the tellers with the majority
 The Chair Sustained.
 The question then recurred on the appeal from the decision of the chair. A solitary democrat, Fleming, of Georgia, voted with the republicans to sustain the chair. No ,ofa cd xryitb 1a mi Tba chair was sustained, 152 to IA.
 No applause marked the announcement.
 The clerk proceeded with the reading, but at the next paragraph, appropriating $175OOO for ambassadors to Great Britain, Germany and France, MT. Williams, (dem.) of Mississippi, moved an amendment to appropriate 5000 for an envoy extraordina- ry to the republic of Cuba. The democrats cheered.
 MT. Hit raised the point of order that the amendment was a change of existing law.
 Mir. Williams argued that as there was no law on the subject there could not be a change of existing law.
 Upon this amendment MT. DeArmond also urged the members to assert them- selves and overrule the rules. If the re- puDl1CanS Q1Q not, ne Salu, they must dC- cept the responsibility.
 ''In the presence of your master, ruler and leader, he shouted, fin whose pres ence you scarcely dare to think, I ask you to give freedom and liberty to Cuba or meet your outraged constituency. Let us see which course you will follow" (Up- roarious democratic applause)
 The chair then sustained the point of or der and on motion of MT. Hit the com mittee rose.
 The Indian appropriation bill was pre- sented and at 5:05 p. m. the house ad- journed.
