FROM harper weekly.
That the language movement has
come to stay" or, rather, to go for
ward, there is no longer any reasonable
doubt. 1t has not only been taken up
by the cultured classes-some we know
who have abandoned Dante to pore
over Middle Irish: the people them
selves, and in the cities, have taken
to it warmly. In O'ConneT1 street the
class rooms are crowded, hundreds of
young men and women spending their
evenings after hours over Irish gram
mars and reading books; surely better
there than in bars or music halls. Lon
don has 1000 Gaelic Leaguers. The
classes are conducted in a CHEEKY, in
formal way Many of the teachers
work with the zeal of those who labor
for love-" and not in imparting Irish
only as a language. Irish songs are
taught, and at given signal the desks
and chairs are cleared away and Irish
dancing begins.
All over the length and breadth of
Ireland this work is going on. The
language, the history, the music and the
dancing that belong to them are being
revived among the most impressionab BILE
people in the world. The growth of
the Gaelic League is phenomenal. Last
year the number of affiliated branches
almost doubled itself: so did the en-
tries in the literary section of the an
nual airactas, or meeting. last May.
But most striking of all is the output
of Irish books. of which during 1902
$4,000 were issued by the Gaelic League
Committee, in addition to 10000 copies
of propaganda pamphlets and leaflets.
Irish music is also being issued both
new music and new arrangements OF
old airs; a string of the dry bones.

NOT CR0WDING OUT MEN.
That Is What Corporation Lawyer
Dill Says About Women.

Dill Says About Women.
Minneapolis June Ain the course
of the commencement address at the
University of Minnesota to-day on the
Outlook of College Graduates in
America" James B. Dill, the we'll
known New York corporation lawyer,
in reference to the field for educated
women, said:
"Womens efforts in the direction of
business enterprises will be valued
wherever loyalty faithfulness and in
tellectual alertness are appreciated.
Women are not crowding out men,
they are only making them hustle a
little to hold their places. The strug-
gle will be productive of far-reaching
results. 1t is severe, interesting and
suggestive, but the man who falls I'M
der it should not complain. If he re-
spects his mothers memory, he will
take off his hat and thank God for the
pluck of American womanhoOd
Much of twentieth century history
will be a recital of women's achieve
ments. The period will mark the de-
Velopment of the educated woman's OPP
portunity. 1t will offer her new
chances, extend her usefulness and pro-
claim her distinction in the professions,
as in every other sphere or lie, where
ability to see quickly and think deeply
brings success.
1.-The man who contends that a wom-
an cannot keep a secret displays ignor-
ance of Wall street history. Many of
the great financial and commercial Sc
crets of the day are entrusted to wom-
en-, who act as private secretaries for
well-known men, and the confidence is
not misplaced.
lone man of national reputation al
lows a woman to answer much Of his
mall without even showing him the let
ters. To reach the private office of that
dignitary, you have to first speak your
little piece to this woman secretary,
and if you get past her, it is because
you have told your story in straight
forward way without beating around
the bush. She is an expert in reading
character and the man who thinks he
fools her soon appreciates his mistake.
That woman can give points to thou
sands of men who think they are re-
ceiving a boys wages for doing a
mans work.

dons and the modern elephants. Dur

while it's fiexibility and tactic power

the Necessities.
Atlanta, June 4.-The Mayor of
Gainesville advices that the situation
there is hourly becoming more dis
tressful. Incessant rains have added
to the horrors of the situation, and
increased the suffering of the wound
ed, making it impossible to remove
them from present crowded and I'M
comfortable houses to places where
they could receive proper attention.
On behalf of the Mayor and citizens
of Gainesville the Morning News is
urged by Chairman James r. Gray
of the Relief Committee to issue an
urgent appeal to the public for as
sistance. Contributions in the way of
food and clothing are particularly
needed.
Nurses are needed most of all. Quite
a number have volunteered their serv-
all the wounded, who are conserva-
lively estimated now at 300. Many of
these will die.
1t is now stated authoritatively that
400 homes were destroyed and that
1900 people are homeless. The condi-
ton of these people is pitiful in the
extreme. 1t is the voice of humanity
that calls for assistance for the un-
fortunate victims of this great calam-
ity. At least fifty trained nurses, doc
tors and quantities of food and cloth
ing are needed at once.

FOR WOMEN
Much That Every Woman
Desires to Know
About Sanative AntiSep-
tic Cleansing
And about the Care of the Skin,

Too much stress cannot be placed on
the great value of Cuticura Soap, Oint-

affording pure, sweet and economical
local and constitutional treatment for
weakening alterations, inhammations,
itchings, irritations, relaxations, dis
placements, pains and Irregularities
peculiar to females. Hence the Cuti-
cura remedies have a wonderful inhu
ence In restoring health, strength and
beauty to weary women, who have
been prematurely aged and invalided
by these distressing ailments, as well as
such sympathetic Affections as anemia,
chlorosis, hysteria, nervousness and
debility.
Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy which have made the Cuticura
remedies the standard skin cures and
humour remedies of the civilized world.
Millions of the women use Cuticura

for preserving, purifying and beauti-
flying the skin, for cleansing the scalp
of crusts, scales and daDdruf, and the

The year has been a very successful
one with the school, The enrolment
during the term just closed reached
$50. About $50 of these were boarding
pupils, coming from sixteen different

that the school will open with at least
300 in Sept. 16.
During the summer vacation two

THE ELEPHANTS TRUNK.
Account of the Manner In Which the
Organ Was Evolved.
From the London Field

rum Nue lOHuOH f1eIQ.
The recent discoveries of fossil re-
mains of ancestral proboscideans in the
tertiary deposits of the Fayum district
of Egypt, combined with a careful
study of the skeleton of certain species
of mastodon known to science for many
years have enabled DR.. C. w Andrews
Proceedings of the Royal Society to
indicate very clearly the manner in
which the trunk of the modern ele-
plants has been gradually evolved.
The ancestral proboscideans were
comparatively small and short-legged
animals, which had. of course, no diff
Guilty in putting their mouths to the
ground. AS the successors of these
primitive forms gradually increased in
bodily stature, and more especially in
length of limb and size of head, 1t will
be obvious that in order to be able to
obtain food or water from the level of
the ground they must either have in
creased the length of the neck or have
developed a special prolongation of the
muzzle. But in the case of large and
heavy headed animals, whose success
sors were destined 10 carry the enor-
nous tusks of the extinct mastodons
and modern elephants, it will be fur
ther manifest that an increase in the
length of the vertebrate of the neck, and
hence the neck itself, would, from the
mechanical considerations, have been
impossible. Accordingly the sonly prac-
ticable course was the elongation of
the muzzle.
In the earliest forms the lower Jaw
was short and heavy, with the union be-
tween the two branches (symphysis)
very massive. On the other hand, in
many of the early mastodons the lower
jaw had become very long, and termi-
mated in a long, trough-like symphy-
sis. To accord with this prolongation
of the lower jaw it is quite evident that
the upper lip and nose must likewise

Declare for Protective Tariff.
Regarding the protective tariff pol
icy, the platform declares:
1--WE oppose all attacks upon this
policy. whatever the pretext, as tend
ing to bring back the disastrous days
of Democratic tariff revision and free
trade. Changing conditions and the
possible benefits Of reciprocity may
call for timely readjustment of sched-
ules, but protection as principle and
as a policy must be administered by
the friends of American prosperity ana
must not be sacrificed.
Combinations for the monopoly Of
trade and kindred unlawful purposes
are directly amenable to penalties pro-
vided by Republican legislation and
fheir vigorous enforcement in the
courts. No worthy interest is imperiled,
but whatever will work public harm is
restrained, and that without resort to
the Democratic plan of destroying all
American Industries through tariff re-
vision or otherwise. If further legiela-
ton should be found necessary, the
Republican party can be depended
upon to enact and enforce 1t with

Robert Fitzsimmons should have
closed his brilliant career in the ring
before he met James Jeffries, and Mr.
Cleveland should close his before he
submits to that third term nomina-
ton. To most people who look Oh
him as human and not divine it hard
ly seems possible that he would enter
into such a compact as Wall Street is
now arranging for him. That 80 call
ed outburst at st. Louis was greatly
exaggerated by subsidized press.
But st. Louisans were feeling good.
they were re ady to halloo for anybody
or anything which gave their fair a
shove, and it is fact that man does
not have to be very large man just
now when in the same company to get
more applause than our chief magis'
trate, so the compliment was not SO
very great. The press, however. put
lots of air bubbles in their reports OF
that occasion, they are paid to do it
the people of st. Louis had been re-
quested to howl long and loud for
Grover, and the press to tell OF it In
the most animated way. Mr.. Morgan
is grooming Mr.. Cleveland, the news
papers, who sing his praises are paid
to sing, and the stupid public is made
to believe there is a spontaneous out
burst for Grover. Anybody who has
the money behind him Grover hat
just now, can get the Outburst, but he
ca mot get the presidency.
