SENATOR HOAR HONORED
TESTIMONIAL PRESENTED BY THE
FATHER MATHEW SOCIETY.
Tribute to His Championship of the
Irish PeOple-Address by the Ven
cradle Statesman.

WORCESTER. Mass. Aug. Ex-senator
Geo. F. Hoar was seventy-seven years old
to-day and was the guest of honor at a
celebration by the Father Mathew Benevo-
lent and Total Abstinence Society tonight
In the name of the society he was presented
with a testimonial, a tribute to his long
public service and his championship of the
right OF the Irish people. The principal adj
dress was made by Alderman Edward j. Nc
Mahon, president of the United Irish
League.
Senator Hoar said in part: 81 know how
imperfect and feeble has been the service
which, during my long life, 1 have been
able to give to my country. But If my
life has been worth anything 1t has been
because 1 have insisted. to the best of my
ability, that these three things, love of
God, love of country and manhood, are the
essential and fundamental things, and that
race, color and creed are unessential and ac-
cidental
1--WE have not yet wholly got rid of the
old bigotry or the old tyranny even in our
free and glorious Republic. We have set
some examples to, mankind, and when the
American undertakes to be tyrant or a
bigot he is likely to come out foremost I'm
that race, in all others. j once heard
Wendell Phillips say that of all scoundrels
a religious scoundrel is the vilest and of
all villains Puritan villain is the meanest.
You of the Celtic race and of the Cath
Ollie faith have had occasionally to en-
counter hatred. inspired by bigotry or race
prejudice. But / think, the whole, you
have no great reason to complain of your
treatment at the hands Of the American
people YOU found the latchstring out
when you came here. You were admitted
to all the privileges of American citizen
ship as soon as very brief and reason
able period for naturalziation had passed,
and ] am afraid IL the stories about New
York city be true, in some cases, even
sooner. You have given excellent mayors

resented by honored men In the highest
places of national service"

bar Passes Suddenly Away.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENFIELD Ind, Aug. 2S.-Charles
G. Offutt, ex-judge of the Hancock Circuit

but short time and his death was a great
shock to the community. He had been

leading lawyers of the State. He was born
in Georgetown, KY, in 1876, and moved to
this county with his parents when one
year old. Judge Offutt was elected to the
lower house of the General Assembly by
the Democrats in 1872 for one term. He
was a law partner of the late William II.

FRESH AIR MISSION FAIR PATRON
lied BY MORE THAN 1000.
One Thousand Dollars May BE Cleared
for Care OF Sick Children at Fair
view Park Mission.

With all the gayety and color of a genu-
inc street fair, the Fresh Air Mission Fair
for the benefit of the mission for sick chill
dren and mothers at Fairview Park was
held last night on Ashland avenue, between
Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. The en-
tertainment was so successful and so far
beyond the expectations of those in charge
that 1t will be repeated again this evening,
although 1t was the original intention to
hold the fair only one night. Over 2,OO0
tickets were sold for the fair last night
and more than that many passed through
the gate.
AL, of the ice cream, candy, cake and corn
crisp disappeared early and caused the
women to make vows that such thing
would not happen tonight. The homemade
candy booth alone sold over $40 worth, and
the sales of the other stands were in pro-
portion. The residents of Ashland avenue
have given their lawns over to the street
fair, which causes this usually quiet place
to be uncommonly lively.
There were a number OF free exhibitions.
Russell Powell accompanied by Miss Grace
ScanlOn, sang a number of coon songs, and
the Father Mathew Boys Brigade Band
rendered pleasing programme all evening.
There was also colored quartet and cake
walk performance, all of which furnished
much fun. AT the close of the evenings
pleasure Lew Shank auctioned off num-
Der of household articles donated by mer-
chants of the city. Mr.. Shank has offered
to furnish the furniture for a cottage at

New York Times.
Englishwomen and those in society in
London are not all squeamish in arranging
for their relatives who are not as fortunate
as they, and they have none of the mauvas
homie which sometimes overtakes Amer
leans when they find that their own kin,
have to support themselves. Englishwomen
of rank and position have opened all sorts
of shops and conducted all kinds of indus
tries. An advertisement in one of the Lon
don newspapers this week reads: 1.-The
Baroness de Meyer highly recommends her
cousin, Mile. de Sampago, as ladies' COM
panlon, chaperon or travelling companion.
Understands art needlework." The Baron
esS de Meyer is the daughter Of noble
Italian family and a young matron of high
position In London society. 1t would be diff
ficult to find a New York woman who
would do the same. although many have
proteges whom they will recommend prf-
vately for various enterprises. Perhaps the
New York woman has more applications
for aid than does the fashionable matron
In London. Miss Helen Gould, as is well
known, has printed form to send out to
always to employ secretary to attend to
the begging part of her mail. Many young
gentlewomen who are reduced have taken
positions as secretaries and companions.
Mrs. William Jaffroy held this post to Mrs.
Ayers, and after her death went to Mrs.
Bradley Martin Miss Maria de Baril has
had several positions of the kind and is
called upon to perform all sorts of mis-
sions, especially those In regard to getting
out invitations for entertainments. Miss
Rhett has lived in the same capacity for
many years with the family of j. Pierpont
Morgan, and Mrs. Astor and others have
cultivated gentlewomen occupying positions
in their households. So far no public adj
vertisement has been tried.

The girl with the high forehead should
wear her hair down low over her brow.
If she has low, smooth, white brow she
should brush her hair well off the forehead.
A madonna face requires the hair parted
in the middle.
The girl with intellectual brow or a
fair share of youthful beauty can afford to
draw her hair back In loose waves, sans
pOmpadour or parts, and coil it on the neck.
For elderly matrons the pompadour is dig
nified and stately, and it seems to increase
the heigh. of stout women.
The round, shapely head looks well with
q soft puff of hair at the nape of the neck.
Every woman should study her own style.
If she looks best with her hair low, then
low she should wear it, though every other
woman in the land is piling her hair on the
top of her head.
A wise woman never curls or frizzes or
overdresses her hair If it is beautiful of
itself.
