bountiful opportunities. a land of plenty.
The Jew has taken another turn In this
country with his synagogue and his con-
gregation Within the next ten years more
synagogues will be built, and more Jews
viii take an active interest In religion than
has ever before been known
The Jew battles the philosopher. He
was let out of the Ghetto to n free land
and every Industry has felt his influence.
This has come about by the Jew meeting
all obstacles. fighting the difficulties, and
conQuering the things that stood In his

In which have been poured our pleasures,
our disappointments. and our tragedies"

ON IRISH LITERATURE.
First of Series Of Lectures at Catholic
University.

The first of series of lectures upon Irish
literature to be given at the Catholic Uni
versity by DIR. Joseph Dunn, head Of the
department of Celtic languages and litera-
ure, took place yesterday afternoon at the
university. In the course Of his remarks
the lecturer said the official poets of the
Irish race are in sixteen classes and are
held in the highest generation, largely be-
cause of the supposed efficacy of their
curse. He also said that they enjoyed large
incomes and were the recipients of honors.
Mr.. Dunn later stated that the poets were
not only the sole providers of intellectual
entertainment but served as lawmakers,
ambassadors and physicians.
In conclusion DR.. Dunn quoted many
examples of the poetry of the ancient Irish,
which exhibited much of their sympat thy
and imaginative strength.

IN ANNUAL SESSION
METHODIST PROTESTANT CON-
FERENCE TO MEET APRIL 8.

The seventy ninth annual session Of the
Maryland conference of the Methodist Prot
estant Church will be held at the Rhode
Island Avenue NJ. p. Church, Rev. ]. NJ.
Gill, pastor, Wednesday, April 8. and will
continue from day to day for perhaps
week. This body consists Of the ministers
of this connection and a layman. from
each charge or circuit in the states Of Mary
land, Delaware, with some portions of New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Last year there were reported nearly 800
appointments served by about 300 itinerant,
unstationed, or local ministers. There were
over 5000 members. and over that number
of scholars in 215 Sunday schools. Finan-
cially there was an increase in the year of
over $4,000, the total for all purposes be-
ing $265, 6S6
On the eastern shore Of Maryland espe-
cially Is this strong denomination, and Of
recent years the churches of this vicinity
have been on the increase in numbers and
church work.
Particularly is this the cas-, with the Rhede
Island Avenue Church, which when located
on 9th and 18th streets for many years
barely held its own. During the pastorate
of Rev. ]. w. Kirk a movement was start
ed for. a new location, and about six years
ago the structure was started in the Bloom
ingdale section. There were less than
hundred members to move in the new edi-
members, with a Sunday school exceeding
that number. and the services have such an
attendance that an additional lot was
bought by which the accommodations have
Deen enlarged.
The Local Churches.
The First Church., 4th street southeast.
has about two hundred members, with a
Sunday school nearly twice that size;
North Carolina Avenue Church, over two
hundred members and Sunday school Of
nearly three hundred; Georgetown nearly
three hundred members and Mt Tabor
about one hundred and fifty members.
From the reports from time to time in the
church paper, The Methodist Protestant, the
various interests have been fully sustained,
some weak churches strengthened and much
progress made and 1t is anticipated that the
report of the president will be of a most
cheering character.
There will be much interest felt in the
deliberations of this body and perhaps the
most important topic pending is the pro-
posed union with the United Brethren and
Congregational churches, while the foreign
mission, the home mission, church extern
sion and kindred interests will not be
neglected.

GOVERNMENT RECORDS.
Results Of An Investigation Recently
Made.

The value Of the records in the various
government departments. aside from any
current interest in them. Is, Of course rec
ognized as largely historical. But scat
tered as they are, 1t has been impossible
to have clear idea either Of their ma
ture or Of their extent.
The Carnegie Institution Of Washington,
through its department Of history. has
rendered an important service in having
an examination made Of these records and
noting their general character. Some ac-
count Of what has been done along these
lines will be given at a meeting of the
ham Monday evening at 8 o'clock At
that time Mr.. Waldo g. Leland Of the de-
partment Of historical research in the Car
negie Institution will speak on THE
Archives Of the Federal Government"

"Our little GIRL one year and a half old was
taken with eczema. or that was what the doctor
said it was. We called in the family doctor and
he gave some tablets and said she would be all
right in few days. The eczema grew worse
and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was
teething; as soon as the teeth were through she
would be all right. But she still grew worse.
Doctor No. said it was eczema By this time
she was nothing but yellow, greenish sore. Well,
he said he could help her. SO we let him try it
about a week. One morning we discovered little
yellow pimple on one of her eyes. OF course we
'phoned for doctor No. 8. He came over and
looked her and said that he could not do
anything more for her. that we had better take
her to some eye specialist. since it was ulcer.
So we went to Oswego to doctor No. f. and he
said the eyesigtt gone, but that he could help
It, We thought we would try doctor No. g. Well,
that proved the same. only he charged $40 more
than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged.

NEW ZEALAND LAWS
ADDRESS ON ISLANDS PROGRESS
In FIFTY YEARS

Although the government of New Zealand
Ii only about fifty years old, it has adopted
many things proposed by the countries
much older and thought to be more adj
vanced in civilization, according to Harry
N. Holmes, general secretary Of the Y. M.
c. A. for New Zealand, who spoke in the
assembly room Of the local association
building last night. The speaker indicated
that the new methods Of that island colony
have been very successful.
One Of the experiments made by the gov
eminent Is along the line Of compulsory
arbitration and Cancellation. This was
adopted as the result Of an immense strike,
which practically paralyzed the shipping Of
the islands, about ten years ago. Under the
law. TWO boards are provided: first q concil-
tatton board, and secondly, an arbitration
board. The first Is composed Of five MEM
bers, two elected by the employees, two by
the employers and one elected by the other
four. The second is composed Of three
another by the men and a third Is the chief
Justice OF the supreme court Of the land.
The disputes as to hours or wages are taken
first before the board Of five members and
to appeal the case goes to the other court.
The inherent respect for law among the
Anglo-Saxon race, the speaker said, en-
forces the DEGREES of the court.
Advanced steps Taken.
I'VE have not solved the capital and labor
problem" stated Mr.. Holmes. But be-
leve we have taken some advanced steps
along that line The cost of maintenance
of the boards is $4,000 per year. When the
cost Of strikes Is considered, this is regarded
as money well spent.
Suffrage for both men and women Of the
adult age has been provided in New Zea-
land, and the effect has been, said the
speaker, to purify the elections in New
Zealand. Saloons are closed on that day
and any one is safe to go to the polls and
cast his or her vote. Women have been
elected to Office, one woman being a mayor
of large town.
The country has an old age pension,
which is given to all the old people in the
land. 1t was recognized by the country
that homes were desired and were better
than warehouses; and poorhouses, and on
that ground it was thought best to leave
the old people In their homes and give them
a little financial help. The old age pension,
1t is stated, amounts to about 500 per year.
Government Ownership.
The government ownership idea is strong
in the island, and the government owns the
railroads, the telephones and the telegraph
lines. There is state life insurance o.fice,
and few years ago when the coal owners
became too strong, government coal mine
was established.
In closing Mr.. Holmes paid fine tribute
to Lyman L. Pierce, who was formerly the
general secretary of the Y. M. c. A. here
and now the general secretary for Australia
and New Zealand. If the past eighteen
months 100000 have been subscribed for
new buildings in the islands. Mr.. Pierce
has been very successful. he said, and he
added the members of the associations
there are grateful to this country for the
men sent from this country to interest Aus
tralianS in the work.
