for an hour and half after that. Capt

the Manhattan Single Tax
Club.

tan Single Tax club held its seventh
annual dinner last night at the Marl-
borough hotel. The attendance was
large Men and women were present
in about equal proportions to do honor
to Thomas Jefferson Ostensibly, but it
appeared subsequently that Il greater
idol was Our contemporary Jefferson,
Henry George" as DIR. McGlynn, the
dead philosophers friend put it.
\ feature of the dinner was the
democracy of dress that was observed.
The men wore everything, from even
ing dress to plain gray business suits.
The women were unit in everything
like evening dress.
Much disappointment was caused by
a telegram received from Tom. L..
Johnston, of Cleveland, expressing his
regrets at not being able to be pres
ent.
A letter was read from Michael Dav-
lit, in Ireland, in which, afterreferring
to the question OF nome rule for Ire
land, and the sentiments, ireland
for the Irish." and THE land for the
people," he said: Il sincerely hope
that the members of your club who
rightly honor the name and memory,
jefferson, will not hesitate to proclaim
America for the Americans, Cuba for
the Cubans, and the Philippines for
their people. Jefferson's glorious and
immortal principle affirmed and de-
clared that all governments derive their
Just powers from the consent of the
people governed, and the republic of
the United States ought to be the last
of civilized nations to adopt the I'M
just, aggressive Imperialism which the
fathers of its independence fought
against and conquered under Washing
