THANKSGIVING PARTY.
ft' 'ss sfAAas ,ttt}1 hIJDO Members of the Friendly League
 Brought Donations.

Such a happy party. Each league
 member brought her donation to the Friendly league at the Thanksgiving party and these gifts will be sent as designated to the children's ward at the hospital, or to the Day nursery or Boys club. The spirit of doing for others pervaded the atmosphere that evening and was forcibIy brought home in the presidents talk to the girls. Miss Ward reminded her girls how each might add to the happiness of her mother, bringing home to her some little bit of news. telling even of something she had happened to see, finding some way of helping the moth- CT at home, and above all not forget ting the loving caress so dear to the mother heart
 A very unique program had been prepared and was most successfully carried out, Mir Reed, director of the Friendly league chorus, being present to accompany the members of the cho- rus in their songs, and Miss Helene C. Futile. director of elocution. acting as the lady of olden times describing her family portraits. The representa- tion of large gilt frame was upon the stage. the various members of Miss Tuttle's elocution class eostumed to represent the different relatives. and a most amusing story was told of each one by Miss Futile. By special request the first picture was that of the president of the Friendly league, Miss Ward. and the applause which greeted her showed her acceptance was appreciated. Miss Futile then showed "ATy Mother" "MyseIf as a Bride" "Sister Jane" and so on, end ing with the League baby" Virginia Ward Hatcher. at her favorite oecu- patton of writing a letter. The other characters were taken by Misses l.. Kane. s. Fitzgerald. NJ. Mcdonald. s. Mcdonald. R. ScOllay. A. Mackay. K. Mackay NJ. Wood and IT. wingblade. The sOloists were Misses H. Hanion and M. Bronson. The whole chorus led in the singing of the Friendly league hymn. in which all joined.
 After refreshments. games and dancing were enjoyed, \ list of the contributions will be found on the bul- letIn board at the Friendly league.

Lord Rosebery's Repudiation Causes

 LONDON, Nov. 2s.-Lord Rosebery's emphatic repudiation in his speech at Bodmin. Cornwall. of the home rule policy of Sir Henry Campbell Banner man. leader Of the Liberal party. as outlined by that statesman when speaking at Stirling. Scotland. which seems to have widened the breach in the party at the moment when a dlsso- lution of parliament Is threatened ow- ing to the split in the Unionist party over the fiscal question. is the latest sensation in the political circles of the United Kingdom.
 Sir Edward Grey in a speech here said he favored giving Ireland the widest possible scope for the develop ment Of her local institutions. He de- clared. however. that be distinctly re- pudiated tho idea Of home rule for Ire land as part of the Liberal policy.
 In his speech at Stirling Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman said that the on- ly way to heal the difficulties of the Irish government and to make Ireland strong instead of weak was to give the Irish people the management of their own domestic afairs He added that opinions regarding Ireland ln this re- spect were becoming stronger.

MARK rwAln's VIEW OF IT.
Humorist Puts Serious Questions In
 His Own InimitabIe Way.

His Own Infniitable Way.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s. Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) and John Tem- pie Groves of Georgia were guests of the president at luncheon here. 4 Mir. Clemens while here gave out the following Thanksgiving sentiment:
 Every year every person in America concentrates all his thought upon one thing the cataloguing of his reasons for being thankful to the Deity for the blessings conferred upon him and upon the human race during the expiring twelve months.
 This is well and as 1t should be, but it Is too one sided. No one ever seems to think of the Deity's side of it. Ap- parcntly no one concerns himself to in quire how much or how little he has had to be thankful for during the same period.
 Do you suppose everything has gone to his satisfaction during the year?
 We may be unstintedly thankful, but can that be really the case with him? If he had voice how would he regard the years results in Russia What would he be thankful for there? The servants of that government, in patriotic obedience to it's commands, have lately killed and wounded 50OOO Jews by unusual and unpleasant meth ods-b -butchering the men and the wom- en with knife and bayonet Doubtless the most that he can be thankful for Is that the carnage and the suffering are not as bad as they might be.
 He will have noticed that life insur- ance in New York has gone tolerably rotten and that the widow and the orphan have had sorrowful time of it at the hands of their chosen protectors. Doubtless the most that he is thankful for is that the rottenness and the rob berries have not been absolutely com plete.
 He has noticed that the political smell ascending from New York, Phila- delphia and sixty or seventy other mu- nicipalities has been modified little temporarily, and is doubtless thankful for that transient reprieve.
 He has observed that King Leo pold's destruction of innocent life in the Kongo is not as great this year as it was last by as much as 100000 vic tins because of diminishing material He is thankful doubtless that some of the natives are left,
 "One is justified in fearing that the Deity's Thanksgiving day is not as rosy as ours and that if he should utter a sentiment it would be tinged with pathetic regret"

KERRY CATTLE.

Miss Josephine and Miss Christine 0'RelIly of Dublin, who are coming here with the Irish Ladies' choir are the owners of herd of Kerry cattle which would make Whitelaw Reld's famous cows look like prize oxen. The Kerry herd owned by the Misses 0'Reifly and pastured by them at Clontarf, near Dublin. are little larger than goats and wonderful little pets. The amount of milk they give. how ever. Is very large and it is extremely rich in cream. They were willed to these young ladies by a wealthy rela- tive in Kerry, who took great pride in maintaining the purity of the strain of the cattle.

 He was hurried to Mercy hospital where an operation was at once per. formed and the bullet removed.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

The holiday crowds will like the bill at the Jacques this week for the very good reason that 1t has all the pleasing features necessary for | popular success. The headline attraL tion ''The Girl in the Clouds" is q pretty and unusual type of theatrica. offering and has many excellent ele- ments of entertainment. The st0ry which the action suggests rather than tells in SO many words. Is an aIIegori- cal creation that is distinctly new and the presentation is made without thn usual hitches that spoil numbers Of it's type. Mir and Mrs Mark Murphy Of course received big ovation from what was apparently a houseful of friends last night and their new conl- edy skit The Coal Strike went with a roar of laughter that neyer let up until the players left the stage. Mr Murphy gives first a taste Of his old time dancing skill which delighted everyone. Another substantial bit was scored by the Grand Opera Tris in the famous prison scene from Con nod's Faust in which appears Ma- phistopheleS. Faust and Marguerite. The invocation of Marguerite which is the finale of the act was sung by Miss La Yique with magnificent spirit and power and brought hurricane of applause from the listeners. This aef alone is well worth hearing.

BRlTT.NELsoN PICTURES.

The first fight films ever shown in America, of any size or actual pre- tentions, represented bout between Young Griffo, the once famous Aus tfaifdn and Walter CampBelr .0f> Phil adefphia. Oddly enough fhese' inns were handled in the west by Lou NJ Houseman, now handling the Britt Nelson pictures, which will be ex- hibited at Polls this evening. They were blurred, indlstinct at intervals and crisscrossed with flashes of light and heavy shadows, making them hard to see and harder upon the eyes. People who saw these old pictures, which were exhibited in 1896, and who have seen the Britt-NeIson films have much to say concerning the mar vicious progress in this branch of pho tography. The Britt-Nelson pictures are revelation and show that science eonquers every obstacle. Prices are $, 35, 90 and 75 cents.
