MISS MAUDE CONNIE.
The Irish Joan of Arc, in New York
to Rouse Sentiment for the Beers
and for Ireland.

The Irish Joan of Arc, in New York
to Rouse Sentiment for the Boers
and for Ireland.
NEW YORK, January 29.-Miss
Maud Come, the Irish Joan of Arc, ar
rived to-day ON the French line steam
err La Normandie from Havre. Miss
Come could say but little about her
future movements in this country be-
yond the fact that she would stay a
month and then hurry back to Ireland
as her time was fully engaged there.
She will address several meetings in
the interest of the Beers.
Upon the arrival of La Normandie
at the pier Miss Come was escorted
to the Fifth avenue hotel.
The object Of my visit here" said
Miss Come, "is to arouse sentiment
here in favor Of the Beers. I have
been in France, Germany and in Hol-
land and there have heard expressions
of speech that America is not foremost
in championing the Beers. They are
struggling for liberty, they are fighting
as you did for independence. l believe
that the sentiment here in favor of the
Beers is growing and I shall do all in
my power to fan the flame.
Another reason that | am here is
to cement the unity of sentiment of
the Irish in America and the Irish in
Ireland. That sentiment is so strong
in Dublin now that they do not dare
march their troops down the main
streets for fear of having them Kissed.
The present is the best opportunity
Ireland has ever had to strike a blow
for freedom.
"In Ireland to-day there are only
5000 soldiers, where formerly there
were 20, 1000. One reason that Ireland
is not in a good position to strike a
blow is because she had strictly fol-
lowed Parnell's teaching that liberty
could be secured by parliamentary
means. 1t was said that we could have
freedom by asking and holding out our
hands. God knows that our hands
have been held out long enough. Now
we see that we must go back to the
first idea. Freedom must come by
force. The spirit in Ireland to-day is
the same as in 1867"
In cnaoEin0 nf c4r;Iinr n h10uy ~
England Miss Come admitted that the
constabulary must be reckoned on.
She said, however, that England is in
a position where she must grant de-
mands.
ITO nations as to the individual"
she continued, there comes an hour
Of destiny and Ireland's hour has come
and she must not let it slip.
"One work of the Irish party is to
stop enlistment. Ten years ago there
were 10000 Irish in the army, and now
there are not $4,000. At present re-
cruiting there is at a standstill.
ITO illustrate the straits TO which
the English government has been re-
duced for men. Miss Come told the
following story:
Il was visiting the North Dublin
Union Hospital when two recruiting
sergeants came in to get recruits. At
ter much labor they secured two. Both
men were i'll and the doctors said that
they could hardly stand one drill. The
papers in England may be advocating
that England put $4,000 men in the
field, but she will have very hard work
getting them"
Miss Come also told the story of
her recent arrest in Dublin while driv-
ing to a meeting of Boer synrathiz-
ers.

HISTORY PAUsEs.
And the Pause is Nearly as Trying

LONDON, January 80, AIS a. NJ
History pauses for a time in South At
RIGA 1t is one of those unsatisfactory
pauses that are nearly as trying to
British nerves as a sequence of revers-
es and apparently will terminate only
when Lord Roberts gives the word for
the forward movement into the Free
State, which, according to the most
cheerful view. he will be unable to do
for a fortnight.
Whether he will permit Gen. Butler
to make another attempt to relieve
Ladysmith is quite outside the knowl-
edge even of those closely connected
with the war once. with the troops

NEWSPAPER COMMENTS
And Criticisms Heaped Upon
Everybody Connected With the
War-AII Airy Attempts at EX-

Everybody Connected With the
War-AI Airy Attempts at Ex-
PLANTATION Abandoned.
LONDON, January 29.-The usual
airy attempts to minimize the serious
ness of the situation in South Africa
are entirely lacking this afternoon,
and it is frankly acknowledged that
the most serious effort of the present
war has dismally failed. There is 10
sign of a wish on the part of the
leaders of public opinion to disguise
the ugly facts, but, on the contrary,
there is every disposition to face the
full difficulties and discover the best
way out. In short, the policy voiced
everywhere is the gathering up of
forces for more effective blows. All
hopes of the speedy relief of Lady
smith have been abandoned, and the
consensus of expert opinion urges the
immediate shifting of the theater of
war from the rocky kopjes of Natal
to the open veldt of the Free State.
One thing appears certain-another
long pause is inevitable, because, even
in the event of Gen. Butler further
attempting to reach Ladysmith, the
planning of a new move will neces-
sarily occupy time.
C~uriously enough, there is visible,
especially in military circles, an I'M
dercurrent of relief at the news that
the British are safely south Of the Tu-
gela, for the rumors of Saturday had
conjectured up visions of an immense
catastrophe.
The st. James Gazette this after
noon returns to scathing criticism of
the language of Gen. Buffers reports.
1t says: Gen. Buffers reflection on
the terror he put into the foe reminds
us of things we have heard about
Chinese mandarins."
The afternoon Newspapers are dis
cussing whence are to come the troops
for a protracted Campaign. 1t is be-
coming generally recognized that some
form of compulsory service is more
imminent than previously thought of.
The st. James Gazette, however, sug-
gests that the SOLUTION of pouring
more and more troops into South At
RIGA savors of the Spanish action in
Cuba, adding that the solution of MAX
ing better use of thu thousands already
there has never suggested itself.
The Queens speech at the reas-
sembling of Parliament tomorrow is
awaited with unusual interest in the
expectation that q considerable in
crease in the naval and military ex-
penditure will be necessitated by the
lessons of the war, and be altogether
apart from the special war vote.
The Westminster Gazette invites the
country to cast aside all decisions
and recognize the fact that progress
fop the present is stopped in Natal,
and that safety lies in concentration.
Gen. Whites force, as an effective aid,
must be written yf, and probably
most of Gen. Bullsr's army has left
the Tugela. The Bosrs have been given
time to prepare against an advance
through the Free, State, and we have
not sufficient strength It present to
undertake this advance with any safe
ty. These are ugy facts. but those
who disguise thera are again mis-
leading the public. The plain truth
is that we will have to make a new
rmy somehow from somewherel We

VIM. Jennings Bran was well pleased
as a result of his first speech in the
State of Rhode Island at the opera
house this afternoon. The large aud
itorium was packed and there was
much enthusiasm. Mr.. Bryan was
given the freedom Of the city by May
or John j. Fitzgerald, who introduced
him. The Colonel kept everyone n
good humor by applying Biblical say
ings to his subject. Mr.. Bryan de-
clared that the Chicago platform stands
to-day the only one adopted in '96 that
will be remembered for all time.
81 have a higher ambition than 10 be
president said he. THAT is to do
something to make the government
better. I have no doubt that the
time will come when the principle of
the Chicago platform will be a part
of the law of the United States. l
believe in its ultimate triumph"
Mr.. Bryan referred to the monetary
commission sent to Europe by Presi-
dent Mckinley, and said that the
President had betrayed the people by
trying to get the foreign governments
to help the United States to get rid of
a thing the people had already de-
clared for.
In regard to trusts, Mr.. Bryan said
that he advocated having a line drawn
which would confine the limits OF a
trust company to one particular State
and leave the other forty-four States
free. Regarding imperialism, Mr..
Bryan said:
"The Declaration of independence is
still law in the United States. The
President in 1896 asked for IN army
of 100, 900 because there had been a
change in national policy. It was a
change to the policy of an empire. If
we have Imperialism we will have
militarism.
"The Republicans are trying TO de-
clare that it is our divine right to take
the Philippines. Let Congress declare
that we are not there for the land or
for the people, and that we intend to
give them the same liberty we have
ourselves and that viii leffectually set
tie everything"
Mr.. Bryan was the only speaker, and
the meeting broke up quickly to en-
able him to catch a train for Woon-
socket.

FROM THE PULPIT
PRAISE FOR TR WILLIAMS PINK

No higher praise can be offered nor
better references given concerning the
virtues of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People than the many voluntary
testimonials from ministers Of the
gospel which have come from all parts
of the country and which have more
than supported all the claims made for
this excellent medicine.
The most recent Endorsement is that
coming from Rev. noch Hill, pastor
of the NJ. E. church of Grand Junction,
Iowa, who says
IT am a firm believer in the efficacy
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, the remedy having been used
in my family, with highly gratifying
results. For three or four years l was
a sufferer from general debility. l
seemed to be lacking in vitality, was
tired out most of the time and sleep
gave me no rest or refreshment. I was
troubled with headache much of the
time and although 1 was not confined
to my bed, my illness incapacitated me
for energetic work in my pastorate.
"A sister-in-law living in Nebraska,
who has suffered very much and who
has used DR.. Williams Pink Pills with
good results, recommended them to me
and decided to try them. l had taken
but two or three doses of the pills when
found that they We're helping me and
further use of the remedy brought such
relief that am glad to offer this public
recommendation of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People in the interest Of
suffering humanity.
MY wife was troubled much as
was although her case was aggravated
by insomnia, The pills also proved of
the greatest benefit in her case.
Il have recommended the pills to
many whom ] have met in my work
and am always pleased to endorse the
medicine, the excellence of which has
been established within my own oh
servation."
