 Fifteen teams have, been organized for the work. and tho. members of the teams are vitaIiy Interested in the service. Every worker is enthusiastic over the worthy cause. for which he works and each has promised his best efforts. The descendants of, the Irish race have rem dered service in every campaign for the relief of human sfffering without, duee- tionfng the cause and they ask the CO operation of all classes in: this conamuni- ty in the hope and belief that. they will show the same spirit. x
 Speaking of the appeal which the call to relieve; the suffering in Ireland should make, one of the committee said Wednes- day: =, s:s,a,S
 Tt has, been said that the best way to judge of the character Of any people is by the literature and music of the people. The literature of Ireland fills some of the best pages of the worlds, literary work. The poems of Goldsmith. and the dramas of Sheridan cannot be, said to have had any rivals in the English of their day and certainly have had no rivals ,ina later  days. The great wohder-nowers of lit- erature are rare. indeed in all languages and yet Ireland has furnished many won- l der-nowers that might well charm the most cultivated of readers.
 "The music of Ireland is the kind of music that appeals to the heart. It is not | like the classical music of Italy or of Germany-composition that appeal more to the student It is the kind of music haa ir TYalo ov5d h ' returning from the milking with pail oi milk on her head, or the kind of music l that you hear from the blacksmith work. ing at his forge; and it is always heard 1 in the sweetest strains of harmony. There are no songs that appeal more to tht heart Of man both by reason of the words and by. reason of the music thar i the songs of Tom Moore. Songs like The Last Rose of Summer, The Harp Tha Once Through Tara's' Halls and Tn, Wearing of the Green have appealed t,
