NEW YORK, Sept. "a conference
OF Boer sympathizers representing
German and Irish societies in Greater
New York, Philadelphia. Boston, Pro-
yidence and other cities has been held
here for the purpose Of considering
the relief OF the foreign folders of
the Boer army who are now prisoners
OF war in the hands OF the British.
Much difficulty had been experienced
by the various societies interested in
ascertaining the exact number and To-
cation Of the prisoners, but the miss
Ing information was supplied by a
young Irishman named Michael F.
Hearn, Of westfeld. Mass, who land
ed in Boston from Ceylon last week.
A letter from Mr. lIearn was read,
giving the names of sixteen Irishmen
members Of the Irish brigade, now con-
fined at the prison camp at Ragamo.
Ceylon, and recommending how money
should be forwarded TO defray their
expenses. George H. Schreiner, who
acted as secretary of the conference,
said the only foreigners who remained
in the prison camps were the Amer
leans and the Irish.
John l.. Cannon of Providence, r. l.,
announced that he had, some days ago,
cabled $1,000 to johannesburg to pro-
vide for the passage Of Colonel Elake
and eleven other members Of the Irish
brigade now there, TO ;his country and
that the mopey was supplied by the
Clan-Na-Gael. He also stated that
the men at Ragamo, Ccylon, mention
ed by Mr.. Hearn and others confined in
India had been provided for and that
every Irishman who had fought for
the Beers, now prisoners of war, would
be attended to by the Clan -Na-Gael,
so that the other societies in sylnpa-
thy with the Beers would have an
easy task in providing for the rest Of
the American eitizsns. The amount
spent in this work by the Cian-na Gael
was over $1,000 and more would be
forthcoming il the necessity should
arise. Former Judge Van Roesen, who
presided at the conference in the name
of the other societies, thanked the
-Na-Gael for its prompt ard ef-
fective work and after appointing
committee to attend further details
the conference adjourned.

 Whenever a humber of young peonle come together in Russia during New rear s Eve and Twelfth Night, whether IL De Tor dancing, playing games, or Just spending a pleasant evening to- gether, some one of the party is sure to propose "fate-reading," or sgadat." as It IS called in Russian.
 Seeklng to know beforehand the name or ones future sweetheart is a very amusing experiment, and there are two methods of going to work The first is managed thus: A sheet of paper is cut into strips about four and a half inches long, on every one of which a name is written A big basin is half filled with wateT and by wetting one end of the strips of paper these are made to adhere to the rim of the basin all round the dry ends pointing horizontally toward the centre. A nutshell containing a bit of lighted wax taper Is then set afioat by one of the party. the water having pre- viously been slightly disturbed with the fingers so as to give 1t a rotary move ment Sometimes the skin will pass many names without harm. or again. 1t may stay pretty long while before one without igniting 1t; but the name set fire to is believed to be that of the per son who Is to play prominent part in ones future life.
 The next question of importance is to ascertain in what direction lies your fate"-that is. from which point of the swer is obtained in the following way: You step outdoors and throw your slip per high into the air; then, the quarter to which the toe points when 1t alights is that whence will come the person who is to influence your future.

THE "NEw WOMAN"
Cardinal Gibbons Thinks Her Re sponsible for Wreck of Many
 Families

Cardinal Gibbons has written a magazine article in which he accuses the new womah of being responsible for the wreck of many families. His Eminence makes use of this emphatic language:
 T regard woman's rights women and the leaders in the new school of female progress as the worst enemies of the female sex. They teach that which robs woman of all that Is amiable and gentle. tender and attractive, and which gives her nothing in return but mascu- line boldness and brazen effrontery. While protesting to emancipate her from domestic servitude, they making her the slave of her own caprices and passions. She never feels at home except when abroad. When she is at home home is irksome to her. She chafes and frets under the restraint and responsibility of domestic life Her heart is abroad. It Is exulting. in imagination, in some social triumph or reveling in some scene of gayety and dissipation. Her husband comes to his home to find 1t empty or occupied by one whose heart is void of affection for him. Then arise disputes. quarrels. recriminatons, arrangements, and the last act in the drama is often divorce. speak the sober truth when I affirm that for the wrecks of families in our country woman has a large share of the re- sponsibility."

Fish is the staff of life and salmon the mainstay. It is served in some form at every meal, fried at breakfast and supper and boiled for dinner, with strips of cold smoked salmon of a deep rich color on the side at all meals. The lakes and river are we'll stocked with salmon trout, which are caught in net sand kept alive in tanks until they are needed. You enjoy them the first five or six meals but after you have had them seventeen or eighteen times in succession they begin to lose their relish. Beer is the ordinary bev- craze. Everybody drinks 1t.

 If President McKinleys portrait Is put on one of the postage stamps of this country. as dispatches from Washington have said is likely to be done fin case the Postoffce Department brings out issue. his portrait will be the ninth of President to be used in that way.
 As the regular series of stamps. excluding the Columbian, Trans Mississippi and Pan American exposition issues. has now been in circulation with only slight changes fin water marks and the like since 1890. a change of some sort is expected soon by phllatelists.
 Ever since Uncle Sam's postoffice began making stamps. in I947. or thereabouts. the face of Washington has appeared on one of the stamps fin every regular issue. and with a single exception on a stamp of low value and general use. Benjamm Franklin's face has always adorned postage stamps of low value, and has thus become familiar to pec pie wh1 send or receive leters ever since ie47
 Presidents other than Washington whose faces have appeared on the stamps are Jef- fereon. Jackson. Lincoln, Garfield Grant. Madison and Taylor.
 Of the stamps of higher values the Scent stamp now bears Shermans picture. the TO- cent Webster's. the l5-cent Clay's. the 30 cent Jefferson's, the 5o-cent Jefferson's the dollar stamp Perry's. the S2 Madisons and the S5 Marshalt's.
