Books by Lillian Bell appear in close sue

passed off the reviewers table before an

the title of 1.-The Dowager Countess and

the author had taken time TO read her
manuscript over carefully before send
ing it in haste 10 the publisher and had
then, as wise second thought, retained
it in her own possession. When this lady
began her literary career n few years ago
she produced some rather amusing and
agreeable little tales. She has a Sprightly
style and certain cleverness in depicting
the foibles of humanity that gave her early
stories a real interest. OF late, however
she has developed flippancy and coarse
ness much to be regretted. In the book
under consideration this tendency reaches
the point of absolute vulgarity. In bring
ing American and English characters into
close association she considers il necessary

Bachelor BigOtries.

This is compilation of cynical sayings
concerning women and marriage CLEANED
from a great number of sources, from
Shakespeare to George Horace Lorimer. For
example: IF thou wilt needs marry, marry
a fool."-Shakspeare. IF fellows bound
to marry fool, and a lot of men have to
if they're going to hitch up into a we'll
matched team, there's nothing like picking
a good one"-Lorimer. Not all are quite
as severe this, however, and the final
quotation is this significant and familiar
one: when L said l would die a bachelor
L did not think L should live till were mar
ried." The variety of these selections shows
great industry and cleverness on the part
of the compiler, as well as the possession OF
a sense of humor. The inscription on the
title page reads: Compiled by an old
maid, approved by young bachelor, illus
trated by eX-bachelor." There is quo
tation for each day of the year, which makes
the little book suitable New Years gift

affirm our undying allegiance to the prin-
ciples for which he fought and died. Our
ambition is that of Emmet, TO see a re-
public established upon Irish soil, and we
will never be satisfied with less than alb
Solute independence.
I'VE believe with the American colonists
that whenever government fails TO secure
Tor its people those inalienable rights or
life, liberty and pursuit OF happiness. that
that government is failure and that it
is not only the privilege, but the duty of
the people to resort to revolutionary means
to secure those rights for themselves and
their posterity. The history of the world
demonstrates that liberty can only be
secured by force of arms and that no peo-
pie have ever secured their independence
by any other means.
I'VE, as American citizens are unaltera-
bly, opposed to any alliance open or secret,
written or verbal, between the United States
and Great Britain, and we refer to Wash
lngtons address and 10 Englanc-s attitude
to this Republic from the dawn of her his
tory TO the present time to substantiate
our position; and we declare unaiterable
hostility and opposition TO any party or in
dividual who advocates or supports any
measure tending to any alliance with Eng
lish royalty or aristocracy-

which is so significantly demonstrated on
this memorable commemoration by the
mingling of the orange and the green, for
we know that Ireland united means
Ireland free
I'VE congratulate the Irish race upon the
fact that through 500 years of unparalleled
prosecutions they have maintained the
spirit of their nationality and are un-
conquered to-day as when Hugh O'Neil led
Clan Erin to glorious victory at Yellow
Ford 400 years ago. And we have unbound
ed faith that this spirit will be maintained
until Erin takes her place among the
nations of the earth and Irish freemen can
write the epitaph of Robert Emmett.

sections of Ohio. 1t is estimated that 25,-
coo excursionists were brought into the city,

the afternoon of Irish societies. About
1900 men were in line.
Following the parade there was a mass

which James p. Madigan, of Cleveland,
presided. Addresses of welcome were de-
livered by Governor Nash and Mayor JEFF

ADDRESS TO CLAN-NA-GAEL.


NEW YORK. Sept. 20.-The Academy of
Music was filled to overf1owing tonight
by meeting held under the auspices Of
the Clan-Na-Gael, to commemorate the
centenary of the martyrdom of Robert
Emmett The auditorium was draped with
American and Irish flags and the Irish
tional spirit found expression in continu-
Gus applause as the speakers dwelt
Irelands wrongs and the hopes Of Ire
lands sons. State Senator Victor III. Dowl-
ing presided.
Resolutions were passed declaring the
only proper settlement OF the differences
between Ireland and England to be the
abolition of English rule in Ireland and
pledging the Clan-Na-Gael to work for the
establishment of an Irish republic. The
orator of the evening was former United
States senator Charles a. Towne, of Min
nesota. Mr.. Towne pictured the scene OF
Emmets death, which he declared was one
OF the most pathetic tragedies in all his
tory. 1T is a hopeful spectacle, he said,
for the man is the incarnation OF an idea,
ana that, please God, nothing can ever
kill"
After alluding to the incident of the ex-
ecution and the lifting of Emmets severed
head and crying out, This is the head OF
a traitor" the speaker continued: THAT
was 100 years ago, and we are assembled
here tonight to do honor to the memory,
not of traitor, but of one whose name is
written among the foremost martyrs for
the cause of liberty. So long as there is
injustice the Irish will resent ii. We are
here to renew our allegiance to the cause
for which Emmett died. We are here 70 re-
affirm our fealty TO that great principle
upon which the American Republic was
founded and upon which Emmett wished to
found an Irish republic, namely, the nat
ural right of every nation to have the guild
ance of it's own affairs. The right to in
dependence in just inherent in the ma
ton as the right of life and liberty is to
the individual. The highest right in the
world is to maintain the nations liberty
and the obligation to maintain it dwarfs all
other duties"

CHICAGO. Sept 20.-At the First Regi-
ment armory tonight huge meeting I'M
der the auspices of the United Irish So
cieties adopted resolutions declaring that
no settlement of the Irish question short
of national independence will satisfy the
aspirations of the Irish people. The oc-
casion for the beginning was the one-hun-
dreth anniversary of the execution of Rob-
ert Emmet, and the resolutions were en-
phatic that no Ireland will satisfy men of
Irish blood but the Ireland for which EN-
met oIed; Ireland, a nation free and in
dependent making her own laws, floating
her own flag, shaping her own fortunes,
acknowledging allegiance to no power out
side the limits with which nature has
bounded the island. The principal resolu-
tion follows:
while we recognize in the land bill
which has recently become law a subStan-
tial concession to the just demands of the
Irish people, we do not regard IL as either
a settlement or a compromise of the Irish
question We urge the leaders of the United
Irish League 10 take up with vigor and in
creased activity the movement to secure
legislative independence, which we hold to
be of greater Importance than the settle-
ment of the land question:
The speakers at the meeting included

Judge Marcus Kavanagh.
