An Enterprisinu Woman.

Miss Jessie McCubben Of Alamo,
Oregon, is the owner of a valuable
mining claim in the Granite district,
which she Jumped" precisely as the
year 1903 came in. Learning that the
claim would be vacant the LIST day OF
January, she drove through blind
ing snowstorm on the night of Dec. 81
the mercury IA degrees below zero,
and, waiting the advent of the new
year, staked her claim Another pros
pector had done likewise earlier in
the evening, but Miss McCubben was
legally in the right, and the court sus-
tanned her. She is Portland girl,
10 years old.

Re minder Of Old Times.

A rich man who has joined the null
titude in New York since his quick
fortune came to him was entertaining
friends at dinner the other night. The
service was magnificent ands4so was

reigned over the table. During lull

The Artists Revenge.

A Chinese story tells how very
stirgy man took paltry sum Of
money to an artist who always ex-
acted payment in advance, and asked
him to paint his portrait. The artist
at once complied with the request, but
when the portrait was finished moth

Good Work Of the Rockino Chair


Good Work of the Rocking Chair.
Some one who was interested in the
fact has discovered that while Amer
lean women are shorter than their Eng
lish sisters, their legs are much more
symmetrical and their ankles more
graceful. The belief is expressed that
the reason for this lies in the great
love of the American women for rock
Ing chairs. Here woman will sit
down in a rocking chair, and, appar-
emily happy, rock by the hour, were
she not disturbed, perhaps not know
ing that the mere movement employed
to keep the chair l., motion does, by
repeated pushes Of The toes, make the
1nstep high, the calf round and full,
and so keep from the angle an accum-
ulation Of flesh.

American and English Railways.

The reasons urged in explanation Of
the great number of persons killed and
injured on American as compared with
British railways are: We have more
than eight times as many miles Of
road; Great Britain has but 5000
miles OF single track, while we have
$4,000 miles; in Great Britain roads
can pay interest on an investment in
construction of 100000 mile, but
many American roads built to develop
sparsely settled districts fail to pay
an investment of $4,000 mile; heavy
traffic in Great Britain justices the e.

a Paper May criticlse.

A trial jury in England gave the
manager Of flfth-rate show YER
dict of $3.50 against a newspaper
which published an adverse criticism.
The Appeal Court reversed this, and
held that the jury had no right to sub.
stitute its own opinion of the merits
of the play for the critics opinion.
The court said it was of the highest
Importance to the public that the crit
ic should not be exposed to the risk
of having a jury pass upon his taste
and held that the trial Judge misdi
rected the jury.

Minnesota and the other dairy

received by the state dairy and

No oleomargarine has been

Every un occupied square i'll the busi-

Real estate owners could bear this slight
burden.
When home talent stands ready to es-
tablish an enterprise that will build up
the town. always encourage it.
In building up town there is no pull
like long pull. a strong pull and pull
altogether.

as sincere pleasure. to be here to night
at the centennial celebration of this
Society.
Nowhere in all the world is there
nation more generous to friend than
the Irish: and nowhere in all the world
are the Irish more welcome than in
Maryland
Ii seems to be a characteristic of the
the land of their adoption; just as it
is said of them that they never forget
to reward friend nor to punish an
enemy.
No doubt some of the gentlemen who
gathered together when this Society
was organized one hundred years ago.
recalled the time when the Irish were
not welcome. as they are now, to Mary.
land Possibly some of them remember
the time when the provincial authorities
OF Maryland, because of narrow and

here.
Because they were blinded by preju-
dice they did not foresee and could not
therefore realize the influence of such
Irishmen as Edward Fottrel or James
Stevenson, no was the virtual founder
of this city, would make us power III
the business world; nor that the work
of Daniel Dnlany, Robert Walsh or
John p Kennedy would make US re-
nowned aud respected for legal learning
and literary productions; nor that the
labors of the Rev. Francis Mackenzie,
the first Presbyterian missionary to
America, or the Rev. John Carroll. the
first Archbishop of the United States.
or the Rev John Allison. the first Pres
byterian minister of Baltimore, would
impress upon the minds and hearts of
our people the principles of the Christian
religion; nor that the patient. patriotic
genius of James McHenry or Charles
Carroll of Carrollton would make us
free.
My own section of the State was the
especia. field of usefulness of the Rev.
Francis Mackenzie. He established the
first Presbyterian church in America in
the year 1852 at Snow Hill, my native
town, now in Worcester. but at that
time part of Somerset county. And
there beautiful church has been erect

the distinction of being the chosen
friend of George Washington.
Our national obligation to the Carroll
family can never be discharged; and it
was proper that the State in recogni-
tion of the eminent services of Charles
Carroll of Carrollton, the last survivor
of those Maryland giants of Revolu-
tionary times, should cause his statue
to be placed in Statuary Hall in the
Capitol at Washington, among the
Nations great.
But the importance of the Irish ele-
ment to Maryland is not confined to
period nor to events so well known
John p. Kennedy, the soldier,
lawyer. author and politician. the help
ful friend of Morse. the inventor of the
telegraph, the founder of the Irish
Emancipation Society. and the trusted
adviser of George Peabody. deserves our
gratitude for helping perfect the plans
for the Peabody Institute, which adorns
our city.
The systematic, honest and spirited
work done by the Irish in every walk of
life excites our admiration and exacts
our respect. Ii tells everywhere. and
its influence is most beneficial in de-
vsloping this State.
do not wonder you are proud of
your origin, and the spirit of unity
which brings you together on this oc-
casion once a year. is the same spirit
which has caused your influence to be
collectively exerted to attain results
otherwise impossible, and which makes
you factor and powerful one.
