Much Interest," =


NEW YORK, January 25-PoHticians
vino have been wondering why the repub-
lican organization fostered by President

planning for such an elaborate entertain
ment as the one to be given next Monday
night at the Lexington Avenue Opera
House, when Andrew Carnegie, John Jacob
Astor, John Jay and other members of the
400 will be among the boXholders, believed
they had found the answer today when it
Elihu Root would be present to make the
principal address of the evening.
With the national convention only little
more than a year off many see in the in
cident the beginning of Mr.. Roots cam
paign for the republican presidential NOM
ination.
In addition to Mr. Roots presence there
will be personal message from President
Roosevelt, which will be read at the gath
ering. To hear both. the flower of the re-
publican party in the aristocratic twenty
ninth district will be on hand. 1t is the
strongest republican district in the city,
giving a republican majority of about 5000.
and it is the home of many of the silk
stocking element
BY the Roosevelt-Parsons victory at the
primaries last fall this element is now in
control Of the district organization. In adj
dition to Mr.. Root several other prominent
republicans have promised to attend. Gov.
Hughes has sent word that he will drop in
after he attends dinner Herbert Par
sons, president of the republican county
also will be on hand. On the reception COM
mittee are Senator Depew. Gen. Arson G..

SIX BRIDES FROM ONE SCHOOL.
And Rumor Has It That Three More
Will Wed Soon.

NEW YORK, January 26.-With six of
the teachers having left the school within
the last two months to become brides. it
was learned yesterday that three more we'd
dings are scheduled within the near future

Hamilton avenue and East 9Th street,
Brooklyn. The latest bride from the school
is Miss Mary F. Tucker. who was married
Thursday to Judge Louis H. Bleakley of
Cortland. N. Y.
1t has been customary with the young
women of Public School No. 100 to take
their principal into their confidence, and
invariably the advice offered by Mr.. Ger
mann, the principal; has been to their ad-
vantage. Last November two young women
resigned and Mr. Germann grew anxious
Two weeks later two more designations
were handed in. Three weeks ago two
more designations reached the principal.
The result was a conference, with Mr.
Germann in the chair. While no names
were mentioned. confessions were publicly
made. and it was discovered that three
more were ready to wed.
When Miss Tucker became the bride of
Judge Bleakley Thursday her fellow school
teachers were present. The ceremony was

DELIVERS A LECTURE.
Italian Ambassador Pays Tribute to
Poet Dante.

Baron Mayor des Planches the Italian
ambassador. delivered lecture last even
ing at the Italian embassy before the mem
bers of the Societa Dante Alighieri, Of
which he is honorary president. His theme
was the influence of Dante, the great Ital-
ian poet. in regard to Italy and Italians in
the medieval ages, as we'll as in later
times.
Baron des .Planches preceded the text of
his lecture with few remarks on the value
and scope of the society. He called upon
all Italians to remain true to a national
tradition by allying themselves to an essen
tally Italian body such as is the Dante
Alighieri, saying that 1t makes no differ
ence If the person has become identified
both in citizenship and customs, with an
other nation. He declared that the thing
which perpetuates the greatness of a nation
and of a people is the work left behind by
some great genius OF that nationality. The
speaker added, in part:
Every Italian has reason to rejoice in
and duty to honor-the great masterpiece
left to posterity by that most Italian of
Italians. In fact, we find in Dante what
we find in every other Italian: great in
dividualism Of sef-masterliness of spirit
OF all the old peoples on earth, the Italians
are those who act of their own accord, in
suggestion with their own self-reliance. Of
the new peoples, the Americans alone
equal them
was speaking with President Roosevelt of
famous authors and their books In his
personai-'bedside library'-I may call it,
the Divinia Commedia' occupies a promi-
nent place. The President is man who
appreciates individuality, even when this
becomes impulsive Is II any wonder, then.
that he retains Dante's work as favorite
among his favorites?''
The ambassador concluded by counseling
the Italians, whether of Italy or foreign
nation. to unite In spirit and remain loyal
to an ideal which makes eternal the fame
of their mother country
The members of the society then mar
took of refreshments. Another lecture
under the auspices of the society will be
held next month, and former Commissioner
of Education VIM. T.. Harris will speak.
The local society was incorporated two
years ago. and is branch of a national
society with headquarters at Rome Its
branches number 1873 in Italy and A
abroad, of which six are in the United
States. The total membership Is more than
$1,000 members. The president of the ma
tional body is the minister OF public educa-
ton, Sgnor Rava.
The arrangements for the meeting last
evening were in charge of the local secre-
tary, II. Pier Giavina. Among those pres
ent were Signor Centaro and Signor Ra-
vaioli of the embassy staff; Messrs Giu-
lani, Radice, Messineo, and many ladies'

remtniscently. He also touched upon the
divorce question, saying, In part:

their dignity.
Il admire your state. not only for its re-
sources and its wealth. but for it's virtues.
The state of South Carolina was a pioneer
in framing laws against divorce-the break
ing of the sacred bonds joining man and
woman. Your state has had some cases OF
divorce, but they have been few. because
the honest and virtuous men of North Caro-
lima are satisfied with the brides God has
given them"
After extolling the intelligence, virtue
and loyalty of North Carolinians the car
dinal spoke of the recent growth of the
states wealth and resources.

WAS NEAR A LYNCHING.
A Wrightsville (Pa.) Mob Sought
Girls Alleged Assailant.

YORK, Pa, January 26.-An attempt
was made by several hundred Wrightsville
citizens yesterday to lynch Elmer Barton,
mulatto, who had been arrested by Con-
stable Whitcomb. charged with assaulting
Miss Carrie Keller, the twenty-year-o
daughter of George Keller of the little
riverside town.
The negro had been placed in the borough
prison. and between 400 and 800 men gath
cred about the place and endeavored to get
inside with view of securing the prisoner
and lynching him. Business was at a
standstill for several hours, and every
person In the borough was excited.
The crime with which the prisoner is
charged took place Thursday evening. Bar
ton appeared at the Keller home, and, 1t Is
alleged, finding that Miss Keller was alone
in the house, knocked her to the floor and
carried her to room upstairs, where he
threatened to take her. life. He disap-
peared and was not arrested until yesterday
morning, when he was found in a house
on the outskirts OF Wrightsville.
The girls father requested the mob that
gathered about the little jail to allow the
law to take its course, and this Is probably
what prevented the prisoner from being in
jured or killed.

The firemen lost no time in responding,
but by the time they arrived it was APP

chapel and the choir were blazing fiercely
from end to end, the flames each moment
drawing nearer to the dormitory where
these exiles from France slept and lived.
By promptness and hard work on the part
of the city and county firemen this build

The affairs and vestments were destroyed.
Beautiful decorations and magnificent old
furnishings in the interior of the church
were also eaten away by the fire.
After several hours of hard work the fire
was finally extinguished. Back into the
front house the household goods were car

images of Christ, OF +hA Madonna and her
Child and several curious French clocks
