FRESHMEN ISSUE ADDRESS.
Americans Respond to Plea TOT
 Sympathy and Assistance.

New York, Dec. l0.-John F. Red- mond. leader of the Irish Parliamentary marty, and his associates. Messers MIG Hugh and ODonnell, have issued a rare well statement to their friends in Amerl- ca. It is that their mission has been the most successful one since the days or | Charles Stewart Parnell, and the envoys will start on their return to Ireland today | with the assurance that fund Of $lOO- | 900 will be raised A committee Of twen- | ty-five has been selected for this purpose | In their statement to the American public Messrs Redmond and ODonneli say:
 I've came here at the request of the | United Irish League, which Is the or ganization of an absolutely united Irish l people at home. The organization has | been indorsed by the votes of the people in the ballot boxes at the general cleo | tion which took place twelve months ago, and which resulted in the return to the | English Parliament of a body of Nation alist members. all bound together in one political party and under the same leaders.
 "We have no quarrel with Irishmen
 who desire to go further. and who con-
 slider that our policy is insufficient.
 Every Irishman who desires to strike an
 effective blow against English govern
 ment of Ireland has our best wishes, but
 we have come to America to ask sym
 pathy and support for the present Irish
 movement which is organized upon lines
 that the experience of the past twenty
 years has proved to have been wise and
 successful"
 The policy of the United Irish League.
 1t is announced. is the policy of Parnell
 and the Land League taken up anew.
 The Irish visitors say that one of the
 foremost items in the program of the
 United Laegue is the promotion of the
 Gaelic revival movement. After point
 ing to the fact that the Irish people at
 home contributed $150,Oo0 to spread the
 organization Mir. Redmond and his asso-
 ciates ask that. Tn the future this
 burden shall be shared in America The
 particular form in which we ask support for our movement in America is the creation of a United Irish League of America on the same lines of the Land League of America twenty years ago."

FOXY QUILLER" A GEM
DEKovEN'S OPERA SCORED A
 GREAT HIT HAST NIGHT.
Jerome Sykes and Little Adolph Zink Made a Splendid Audi ence Throw Continuous
 Fits of Laughter.

Foxy Quiller," with his intelligent front teeth, his crafty leer and his sleeve full of mirth, scored great hit before a representative Montgomery audience last night; an audience that filled the house from pit to dome; an audience that knew a good thing and one, there fore. that was continually torn between laughter and applause. For Foxy Quill Ier." be it understood, Is filled with good things.
 Jerome Sykes-rotund,. jolly Jerome simply fiaved the house with his over flowing good humor. Bless our souls. we have stitches in our sides today from laughing at that comic actor! He roared ont his songs and ripped out his 1unny lines in most enthusiastic manner. One man in the audience. at least. had to be carried out between acts, appar- ehtly exhausted from too much exercise of his risibles.
 Jerome was not the whole show, though. Not by any means. There was Adolph Zink, for instance. Adolph Is about two feet high and just as fat as match. He Is the most comical person for ms inches in the world. He Is dwarf with a streak of fun in him that would fit a giant com edian Ask anybody who saw Adolph last night and they will tell you ne Is bird-a hummlnS bird In size but an ostrich in ability to entertain,
  great tenor voice swept out over the house and charmed the entire assembly: He has splendid solos In the oDera and he handles them in mos; artistic style. The serenade song is an exquisite gem.
 Miss Cameron. beautiful Daphne in the opera, sang so sweetly she was com pelled to sing again and then again at every solo. Miss Kent who sang La Colombo, completely capivated the au- dience. Not in years have Montgomery theatre goers been so delightfully."- enter tained as they were last night by these two delightful singers.
 The opera itself, while 1t has that re- minding business tu.' those who have heard De Koven's other scores. is none none has tuneful alrs, stimulating choruses and inspiring flnales. With the staging la n given. the production here; the company ot excellent artists throughout; the bright, new costumes and the snap, and vim that has been coaxed into 1t by a master hand of stage craft, 1t Is the equal of any light opera that has ever been put upon the local stage.
 The women in the production are pretty and there are lots Of them.

Sufferers from this horrible ma1ady nearly always inherit it -n not necessarily from the parents, but may be from some remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs through several generations. This deadly poison may lay dormant in the blood for years, or until you reach middle life, then the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap- pearance-or a swollen gland in the breast, or some other part of the body, gives the first warning.
 To cure Cancer thoroughly and per1na- nently all the poisonous virus must be eliminated from the blood-every vestage of it driven out. This s. s. s. does, and is the only medicine that can reach deep seated, obstinate blood troubles like this. When all the poison has been forced out of the system the Cancer heals, and the disease never returns.
 Cancer begins often in small way, as the following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows |: A small pimple came my jaw about an inch below the ear on the left side of my face It gave

Suoiled Children.

Spelling children consists in letting
ones darling have its own precious way
on all occasions, and the way is such n
pretty, cunning, winsome way nobody
can see any harm in 1t. But grown up
willfulness is quite different thing from
baby willfulness. 1t has claws and teeth,
so to speak, and Is not nice to cOntem-
plate.
Spelling appears to mean a great
many different things. One OF its mild
forms is a total disregard for the feel
ings and convenience Of others. IL you
notice a disagreeable, unaccommodating
woman on the car or elsewhere you may
know. that she was spoiled child.
Although poor people do contrive oc-
casonally to spoil their children by In
diligence, by making great sacrifices, this
business is not carried on wholesale, as
it is among the rich. Poverty is severe
yet kind stepmother. In n large family,
not very well to do, the older children
care for the younger ones and exert more
influence often in their own way than
their parents in teaching self denial and
common sense.
Self control is the one thing spoiled
children never learn. They must have
everything they want and have it with
out delay. The child who kicks his
nurse, bullies his mother and his younger
brothers and sisters develops into the
passionate, dissipated young man.
The spoiled girl becomes an exacting,
disagreeable woman. The world must
wait upon her, she makes everybody
around her unhappy and all because she
was a spoiled child. Her husband is a
martyr to her whims and caprices, and
her children are made wretched by her
irritable and fretful disposition, and all
because her early training. was not what
It should have been.-Bouquet.

nigh ana grating fearfuiiy on the nerves
of any listener blessed with fine Sensi-
bilitieS. They were pretty girls, charm
ing, stylish, in splendid health, robust
and athletic. But their voices were some
thing fearful to listen to. A low, sweet
voice, carefully modulated always be-
speaks the lady. A voice that is rasping,
quick of action, high strung, nervously
pitched, will undo the beauty ambitions
Of many years.
The matter of eating forms a large
part In ones beauty rules and regula-
tions. To my way of thinking, we
Americans eat too much and d. not eat
often enough. We wait for our d.-.. ;
at night until we are r.."..." 1Hly hungry,
and we overload the s;....a.,.. The re
suit is a forid, unbeautiful complexion,
dull eyes, languid movements and wits
that, if not exactly wool gathering, are
certainly not as bright as they should be.
In the old country meals are lighter. In
the morning ii is toast and tea and a bit
Of fruit, later a little chop, again a cup of
tea, with bread and butter-always just
enough to satisfy the stomach, not
enough to cause it to Overwork and to
bring on dyspepsia, that surest complex
ion wrecker of all. The time between
meals is too long with us. We are so
hungry that we are sure to overeat. And
overeating is deadly. There is no mis-
take about it.
Fresh air is a beautifier that is not ap-
preciated by the average woman. Good
health is, of course, the first principle of
all beauty ambitions Without it your
foundation for everything is gone. Fresh
air enlivens the wits, stirs up circulation,
brings encouragement to the lungs and
instills one with new life.-Amelia Bing-
ham in Chicago Times Herald.

Girls LIN RuAinemN Life.

Because girl takes a position Of serv-
ice in a store is no reason why she should
proclaim a personal declaration Of indie
pendence to every customer by her de-
pertinent toward her. She simply cannot
afford to do it, and the sooner she realizes
It the better it will be for herself. Let me
whisper a secret to you girls who expect
TO take some similar position by and by.
1t is this: You will find that courtesy,
self respect and an interest in the busi-
ness in which you are engaged are the
conditions of ultimate success, and no girl
need fear failure If she has added to
these n natural ability to do the work she
has undertaken. Tranquility Of spirit
should be cultivated. And If in addition
to this the mind be habitually occupied
with elevating thoughts, to the exclusion
Of the petty, the ignoble and the sordid
the girl will not only succeed, but she
will win friends whose friendship is
worth having and retaining, who will re-
gard her with respect and admiration and
make her in their own minds the pattern
upon which other women in her line of
business may model themselves. Remem-
Der that love is a magnet that attracts
the best in everybody, because it con-
sciously or unconsciously seeks the best

MRS. HARRIET NJ. VAN DER vAART.

MINIS. hAhhlhl Ne AN LEN NhANA'
Of Englewood that a creche was needed
In the locality of West Forty-seventh and
Halstead streets. A small cottage was
rented and furnished for this purpose.
Soon the demands on the nursery grew to
such proportions that a kindergarten was
started in West Forty-seventh street,
Just west of Halstead street. The Per-
kins Bass and d. 8. Wentworth schools
co-operated with the young people who
had begun the work in its support and
have since worked in conjunction with
the settlement.
Soon afterward n mothers class was
formed, and this has grown into one of
the most successful woman's clubs in the
city. 1t Is in the Federation Of Women 5
Clubs. The cottage in which the move
ment was first given an impetus was
opened in the evenings for reading room
and clubs were organized for boys and
girls. The cottage was outgrown that
winter, and in 1896 larger house was
rented in West Sixty-ninth street, near
Bishop street.
This was the real beginning of social
settlement. Mrs. Harriet NJ. Van Der
Vaart took charge and has since that
time been head resident. In 1893 new
and still larger building was secured.
Two more residents, both young women,
Joined the settlement, making the total
four, Mr.. S. S. Van Der Vaart, husband
of the head resident, devoting his even
ings to the work.
While the principal support Of the set
tlement has always come from the Stew
art Avenue Universalist church Of Engle-
wood and its members, the settlement is
now gradually assuming an independent
position and without losing the assist
ance Of the church, whose pastor and
members are among it's teachers and lee
turers, is becoming the common heritage
Of all religions and nationalities in the
district and is drawing on all for its NOR
al and financial support.-Chicago News.

The Frivolous Ones Cakes.

1t was a progressive euchre party, and
she was the prettiest and most frivolous
looking person present. How could any
one who looked like doll and dressed
like fashion plate be anything but
frivolous? The members of the club,
which met around from house to house,
felt sure that the pretty and frivolous
one had not an idea in her head that was
more practical than her own gowns.
There did not linger thought In their
minds that the refreshments, served at
every meeting of the club, would be any
less inviting at her house than theirs. In
these days of caterers a lack of house
hold knowledge does not count But
when the eventful day came there was a
little gasp of surprise when there was
served the most delicious cake any one
had ever eaten, and it bore the unmis-
taxable evidence of being homemade.
No caterer could make such cake; neither
could a maid. Cakemaking requires a
cultivated hand on the spoon.
81 made it all myself" cried the frivo-
lous one when the exclamations of de-
light reached her ears.
This is one cake 1t was a layer cake,
and between the layers was a chocolate
filling made much like an ordinary filing,
with chocolate, milk, sugar and the white
of an egg, but into that was beaten lit
tie whipped cream, and the same cream
covered the top and sides Of the cake,
The cake itself was very light and deli
cate, freshly put together, and the result
can only be surmised by those who did
not try it, for the cake was too good to
describe.
Another cake was made in the same
way, only maple sugar was substituted
for chocolate and melted with as little
water as possible, whipped cream beaten
into it and the whole cake covered with
the cream. Another way of using the
maple sugar is to add a little to fruit
layers In cake, as date cake, and the lit
tie flavor given is perceptible and ex'
cellent.-New York Times.

Mrs. Ewing and Her Fish Pan

saddening experience when she first be-
gan housekeeping. The art of cooking
was unknown to her, and she looked for
ward with terror to the first visit Of her
mother-in-law, who was famous house
wife. She arrived, and Mrs. Ewing be-
gan to serve dinner. The first course was
fish, which she had baked in a pan.
When she tried to lift it, she was at her
wits end. 1t stuck to the pan here.
there and everywhere.
At last the fish was removed by the aid
OF carving knife, a fish slice, a spoon
and a griddlecake turner. 1t was too
broken to serve on the platter, so the
young cook. with tears in her eyes, made
a sauce and served it crcamed She de
termined, however, to find better pan
for baking fish. There was nothing Of
the kind in the stores, so she got an in
telligent tinsmith to carry out her ideas
