to choose between two Nationalist, a
landlord and an occupier, he would rather
trust the occnpier, because he had
the sense of grievance burned into his
soul, and the prejudices that had been
engrained into the landlord class would
take long time to die out. In conclu-
sion, he asked them to give their entire
support ON the polling day to the Nation
alist candidate. The fight would be an
uphill one, but it remained with the peo-
pie to say whether the division would be
represented by Unionist or Nationalist,
and that very fight might decide whether
the County Council of Dublin would be
Unionist or Nationalist.
Mr.. F. Keegan 1.-THE Nationalist candi-
date said the issues had narrowed them
selves down to simply Nationalism versus
Toryism, and in his opinion Nationalist
was as competent to work in the County
Councils as Tory, and it was time that
the people should have an opportunity of
spending their own money. AS Nation
alist he went into the fight and as a
Nationalist he claimed their votes, and if
returned he would safeguard as far as he
could the interest not only of that divis-
ion, but of every district in County
Dublin,
Mr.. Henry Dixon and Mr.. William
O'Brien also addressed the meeting, and
urged on the electors the necessity of
securing the return of the Nationalist
candidate.

A CATHOLIC ACTRESS.
Nine. Modjeska's Recovery
and Return to the Stage
Is Welcomed.

The complete recovery and return to
the stage of Nine. Modjeska, after a
long illness, is fact that all the lovers of
the higher forms of the drama will well
come. A rare genius as an actress, a
high and noble personality, deep re-
ligious spirit being a devout Catholic,
such is Nine. Modjeska. Her dramatic
work is touched with fine distinction;
she represents the poetry of acting.
Nine. Modjeska is of Polish birth and
came to this country in 1876. Her pres
ent home is in California, her husband
being Count Bozenta, of an exclusive
Polish family. At the time of the World S
Fair she delivered an address at the
Women's Congress on her country's
wrongs, which resulted in the issuance of
an edict by the Russian Government
barring her from her native land forever.
Nine. Modjeska is one of the great
stars of the American stage. Her fame
received the confirmation which our
theatrical lights seek in the Endorsement
of the English public. In 1880 she visited
England. In London her success was
also instantaneous. The Prince of Wales,
the court and the nobility hocked to the
Court Theater when her performance be-
came the fashion. In certain Shake
spearian roles she has no peer

NEW IRISH CLUB.

The formation of the new Irish club in
London has attracted the notice of the
London press. The Daily Telegraph
says: mo longer can the reproach be
leveled at Irishmen resident III London
that they alone among the representa-
tives of all nationalities in the metropolis
had no center where compatriots could
meet together for purposes of social in
tercourse. This homelessness has now
been ended by the establishment of the
Irish club, which was formally inaugu-
rated recently, when large lumber of
ladies and gentlemen assembled at a

GOOD.TEMPERED GIRLS.

Many a man has been scared off from
asking a woman to become his wife by
the assertion from her lips that she has I
bad temper, and is proud of it.
Men are selfish creatures, and above al
things like physical and mental comfort
Perhaps the average man does not hope
to attain happiness in this world, though
in truth he never ceases to seek it; but he
does believe that there is such a thing as
harmony, and he knows that bad
tempered woman and harmony don't go
hand in hand.
Availability is power, if women only
knew it. BY being always cheerful and
amiable she can get hold on men that
the bad-tempered woman, no matter how
beautiful, rich or alluring she is, never
dreamed of in her philosophy. Anna
bility is not only power, it is health; il is
mental progression; it is long life to
oneself and to others.

one of the leading music halls Of Berlin.
They are undoubtedly the smallest mar

better half, is shorter by about an inch

parents in village of Central India, and
were brought to Germany by a theatrical

promote and retire to the rank of brtga-
der general in the regular army several

recognition for them, and it is believed
the president is favorably inclined.
