But the vacancies in the program

Universalist church, and Congressman
Frank G. Wachter.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. James II. O'Neill. Colonel John r.
Morris, chairman of the meeting, then
arose and said:
I'VE have met tonight without re-
gard to nationality, class or creed. to
offer in the name of humanity our
sympathy with the claims of Ireland
We have met to express the hope that
under the guidance of God the people
of Ireland may yet rejoice in the land
in which He has planted them. This
movement is under the direction Of the
United Irish league, a non-sectarian Or
ganization, which advocates the es-
adjustment Of justice among all men
the world over. 1t maintains the right
of Irisllmen to till their own soil. To
those who have come to honor this
meeting by their presence and to thrill
us with their eloquence, to him who
is the highest type of American citi-
zenship, as well as the highest digni-
tary in the Catholic church in this
country, and to all you ladies and gen

The applause which greeted Senator
Rayner was prolonged for several min

Following Mr. Wachter, Colonel
Morris introduced Chauncey Olcott,
the actor, who is a member of Division
No. 5, Ancient Order of Hibernians.
Mr.. Olcott sang several songs.
Rev. DR.. Stafford, who had delivered
a lecture at the Lyric, entered the

he took a seat upon the stage he was

CHEAP HOMEMADE FILTER.
Also How to Mend China and How to
Remove a Glass Stopper.

From the st. Louis GlobeDemocrat
In our business we come to acquire
knowledge of how to do many little things
that the housekeeper would gladly welcome
as additions to her store of information.
but generally we don't even know ourselves
the value of the miscellaneous knowledge
until something arises that puts 1t in prac-
tice," Mr.. Judson A Parker who is In the
housefurnishing trade, said to me.
las an instance of this at my home
last week one of my wifes friends, who
is visiting us. found that the glass stopper
in her cologne bottle was fast and she
couldn't remove 1t. This is an easy thing to
overcome when one knows how. 1 took
bit of cloth. soaked 1t in some hot water
and wrapped it around the neck of the bot
tie. In a moment the glass had expanded
sufficiently to enable us to remove the
stopper with ease.
There is another thing which occurs to
me which housekeepers might like to know,
and that is how to mend china so that it
Will not be marred and will stay mended

pour on this the white of an egg. whey
of vinegar and milk in equal parts must
then be made and added to the lime and egg

places than where the break had formerly

Here is another piece of information that
may be valuable, and that is how to make
an inexpensive out entirely reliable filter.
For this purpose one had better take a
stone jar, though for that matter most any
receptacle will do. a hole sufficiently large
for the stream of water one desires to enter
the filter should be bored in the bottom, and
after this is accomplished the receptacle
must be filled first with a layer of sand
several inches deep, then a layer of bits of
| sponge, and on this to level even with
the top of the jar plenty of small gravel or
pebbles.
when the receptacle has been so filled a
piece of wire screen is to be fastened over

She laughed-the natural, musical laugh
which was one of the links in the chain
that bound his love.
Farewell, Mr.. McCausland," she ex-
claimed, bowling tremendously. when

Daintily she picked her way across the
well-kept lawn. The Old well house stood
on the edge of the last farm which Senator
Willard had annexed to his fine estate, and
Dorothy had insisted that 1t be left undis-
turbed. She was creature of impulse and
sentiment, despite her worldly training.
McCausland watching her from his van

that he would give worlds to have been al

polished stairs and then he turned to pace
the porch.
For weeks he had been trying to reach
the decision which he felt was inevlta able
10 leave Ar-y-ben. He had known IT was
not the place for him ever since Dorothy
Willard had greeted him that first night in
the drawing room. There had been COM
pany to dinner, but Mr.. Willard had evil
IDENTIFY determined to make his new secre-
tary's place I'm the family circle quite clear.
McCausland had taken the daughter of the
house out TO dinner
Senator Willard had known McCausland's
father way back In their college days. The
one had developed into a master of finance.
a dilettante In politics. The other had put
n struggling western college on Its feet
and named II for the man whose thousands
he had cajoled into the college treasury, but
not into his own pocket. The man of thou-
sands had had the decency to educate the
son of the dead college president. Senator
Willard had loved the father. lie accepted
the son as the legacy of his strongest col
lege friendship. Young McCausland's title
OF secretary was misleading. He had really
become the confidential adviser of the busy
financier and politician. Confidential? Yes,
until this morning. For over an hour Sem
ator Willard had shut every one from the
library while he wrote and rewrote let
ter, which was sent by footman to the
Tenbrook Park post office. and not by Nc
Causland, who happened to be riding that
way.
The young fellow quiverng under the
leash of his love for Dorothy Willard and
his sense OF honor toward his employer,
had become representative. That letter had
something to do with him. Perhaps the
ambitious senator had formulated certain
plans for his daughter-perhaps he had sus-
pected the invisible but potent tie which
was drawing the daughter of millions to the
son OF a penniless college professor. Per-
