SHOCKING
WAS THE APPEARANCE OF CHI.
cAeo SOCIETY WOMEN IN
CHARITY BENEFIT.

CHICAGO, Jan. Chicago SO.
clety is shocked and astoundei over
the attack of Rev. Sidney Strong on
the recent klrmess which netted $685..
900 for charity. The minister de-
nounced the affair as the most i'm.
proper social gathering ever held in
Chlcogo."
In an address that fairly bristled
with lnvective, the clergyman stigma.
tized the society women who PARTED,
patel in the entertainment as half.

full sisters to the benighted fetIsch
dancers Of South Africa"
DR.. srong's excoriatlon Of Chi,
Cages 400 created a great sensation.
Those whom he singled out for at.
tack, Mrs. ]. odgen Armour, Mrs,
Stanley Field and others Of equal
prominence, are deeply indignant and
are replying tartly to the cIergyman's
structures. Many Of his statements
are denied as untrue and the whole
tenor Of his address is described as
"purltanical."
DR.. Strong said that the klrmess, as
q performance, was not only shock,
ing to every sense of decency, but
was a scandalous travesty on the very
charity 1t was designed to benefit.

Why NOT
OWN A HOME I?

The average family OF moderate
means pays from 20 to % per cent Of
their gross income to the landlord.
In other words, the bread winner
works nearly or quite one.fourth OF
his time for the privilege Of roof TO
cover his head.
Why do not more young married
men buy homes? They can do It II
they will. II only takes little pluck
q little daring and little self denial.
A home is an anchor. A rented
apartment can never be anything
more than o temporary place OF
abode. Moving time will soon be
here. Why not make arrangements
to move into o home Of your own?
There is another side to 1t. The
purchase OF o home is almost all
profit. The head OF the family
saves money that he otherwise
would spend In manner that even he
could not account for,
z And saving for home often brings
husband and wife closer together
makes q sort OF community OF interest
md sympathy, Talk It over with
your wife and she will tell you "We
can own q home II We will make up
our minds to do IT," And she Is
right. Try 1t.
Come to my Office in the Trust Com,
pany Building and let me show you a
home that will just suit you,

Why Not Uncle Charley.

If council decides upon building
one or more wharfs for the benefit Of
river navigation by the opening Of
the spring trade, and all of which
will be needed in time for the city,
then it is suggested that Uncle Char
ley Watts be appointed to superin-
tend their construction, since he is
a river man and having had expert
ence with wharfs Of all kinds from
Pittsburg to New Orleans, is in bet
ter position to know what kind of a
wharf is practical and needed for the
accommodation of the patrons, boats
and freight trade. A good carpenter
is the man for building a house, an
experienced bridge builder for g
bridge, but a practical river man is
the only one WHO knows best what
kind Of wharf is needed, and since
Uncle Charley has the experience he
can, and no doubt would superintend
the work, and being already in the
position could do the work cheaper
and better than any one else who has
not had his experience with wharts.

COI. lLlfRAN
is PLANNING 10 GET 81 " AND
MAY CALI A CONVENTION
OF DEMOCRATS.

John Wallace had the following to
say in his Sunday letter to the Pitts.
burg Dispatch yesterday:
Colonel John t. McGraw, the Dem
oc-auc leader In West yirginia, is
thinking seriously Of having a State
convention called for his party this
year. He Is inclined TO believe the
general situation makes such a gath
ering propitious.
It Is impossible to state at this time
whether a convention will be called,
and, indeed, it is hardly possible that
Colonel McGraw has felt the pulses
Of the other leading lights Of his par
ty. He has not advanced the sugges-
ton himself very far, but the Demo
Gratis win hold some sort Of council
before many moons, and it is under
stood that the McGraw plan is for a
big, bang-up convention, with every
Democrat in West Virginia welcome
without formalities.
A State convention such as is. sug.
gested would be unprecedented in an
of year, but precedents are going by
the boards SO fast that this procedure
would call for little more than a
wr!nlle of surprise.
The Democrats need a convention
or conference of some kind to agree
on a line of battle, for State issues
are to be paramount, and the Demo
Gratis are minus a legacy except their
record of opposition in the last cam
paign to the Republican taxation plat
form. Since that campaign there has
been one session of the Legislature,
at which the laws underwent some
change. At that session the Republi.
can !nsurgent ani Democratic legis-
lators hands on certain questions.
There appears to be a growing feel.
ing among the masses of the Demo
Gratis that they should have clean.
cut issue to present to the people, in
stead of bobbing up again with more
or less general contention with fiat
opposition to every measure cham
pioned by Republicans. Some evil
dence of this feeling has cropped out
very recently from a source close to
the throne. A Fairmont organ Of the
Democracy for that section of the
State voiced this sentiment by say
ing the Democrats have grown tired
of following the hearse to the same
old dirgc and want a quick.step in,
stead. With the same voice a some
what tentative suggestion was hand.

Many Irish farmers appear to have
been engaged successfully in agrl'
cultural improvement for some years
past. They have had the courage to
60 into various kinds of business rath'
er extensively, considering their f.
nancial condition. 1t is believed that
the island can become a prosperous
agricultural region, like Denmark
The contention of some writer's that
there cannot be much manufacturing
in Ireland for some decades, however
is open to argument.
II the exposition did nothing more
than set ireland right before the
world it would certainly benefit It
The funds having been provided, the
fair should celebrate Irelani's prog
ress in a most successful manner.

An Exposition to Show Her Prog.
ress.

Dublin will be the next city to hold
a worlds fair. This event will occur
in 1907. Preparations for It are un.
der way already, and it is predicted
that amazing evidence Of the extent
Of Ireland's Industrial awakening will
greet the visitor at the exposition,
says the Boston Globe.
It is felt that this industrial expo
sition will indicate pretty clearly that
the Irish farmer is rapidly learning
that with ownership of the land he
can use modern machinery and i'm.
prove on the marketing Of his crops,
like the farmers Of other countries.
There are more than 200 agricultural
banks, established in recent years; on
the cooperative plan, which are also
d factor in TIE general Improvement.
There are also other societies work.
Ing on kindred lines, many of them
sor the encouragement of native Irish
Industries.

There have been established 800
science laboratories and manual
training schools, and the general pro.
gramme of scientific education is in
operation in 400 schools which have
nearly 10000 pupils. 1t is said the
fruits are seen every day in the in.
crease of Ireland's manufacturing out,
put. Over 10000 are employed in tex.
tile industries, and the home or "cot'
take" industries are likewise pros
pering. To quote correspondent;
There never was so large an output
Of nor a better demand for Irish laces
and embroideries. Ireland is train
ing its own skilled labor for all kinds
of manufacturing industries, and edu
eating the most sxillful diarymen, poul
try raisers, farmers and cattlemen,"
This is certainly gratifying news to
all friends of ireland.
These facts about Irish industries
support the contention of another
correspondent that within half a cen.
fury Ireland has been undergoing a
sort of a revolution in her social and
economic life and has changed great
ly from conditions attributed to her
by many writer's. 1t is now said, for
instance, that all Ireland has changed
from what 1t was when Thackery saw
It.
1t is expected that by the next cen
sus the mud cabins of Thackeray's
time will have practically vanished
from statistical tables. In 1S41 there
were almost 100000 of them in the
country. In 1891 not 10000 of these
lnsanitary places we're left. On the
other hand, the number of houses
scheduled as firstclass had risen
from 4O,OSO in 1871 to 1925, and the
number of second.class houses from
g64, 1854 to 521,455 during the same
period. The new land act should
make it possible to keep these fig
ures rising from decade to decade.
