CHAMPION OF IRELAND
VIEWS OF MAUD GONNE, THE HAND
SOME. IRISH CHAMPION.
Absentee Landlordism In the United States.
Twenty-one Million Acres of Soil In Pos
session of Allens Rally of the Irish
People For Liberty.
[Special Correspondence.]
Chicago, Nov. 15.—Since tho date
on which the first general congress of
the United States in Philadelphia sent
a message to the Irish people asking for
their sympathy the history of the great
western republic has been a subject of
passionate interest and pride to Irish
men in general. They are intensely
proud of the fact that multitudes of our
countrymen have contributed by theii
valor and genius to build up and safe
ri the liberties of America. Our ex
driven by English misgovernment
anil tyranny and in pursuance of Eng
land’s policy of exterminating the Irish
people from their native land, have
been, or at least have always meant to
be, the champions of freedom.
It has been well said by one of our
prominent leaders that a bad son never
makes a good husband and that the
more an Irish exile loves his mother
land the more certain he is to be a good
citizen of his adopted country.
Long centuries of intercourse with
England, centuries of struggle against
her not only for freedom’s sake, but for
actual material existence, have taught
the Irish people to distrust her. From
bitter experience they have learned that
she is never more to be dreaded than
when she speaks fair and offers her
friendship. They have seen treaty after
treaty broken whenever it suited Eng
lish policy to do so. It is but natural
And right that they should ever be on
the watch to defend their adopted and
beloved country from even the shadow
of English intrigues and influence,
which have brought such deadly ruin
on Ireland, on India and on any other
land where they once take firm hold.
Then it was the Irish who first drew
attention to the fact that 21,000,000
acres of the soil of the United States
were actually in possession of aliens,
mostly British, and not wishing to see
the curse of absentee landlordism estab
lished in this country the Irish Nation-

Thousands of women are cast-up dead
on the shores of life because of their own"
ignorance or neglect. No woman can be
free from pain, or safe from the ever-threat
ening breakers of death, who neglects to
take proper care of the organs that con
stitute her womanhood. A woman who
neglects her womanly->elf will be sickly,,
nervous, pain-racked and fretful, and ap
proaching maternity will be a menace of the
grave. It is easy for a woman to avoid this
suffering and danger.
Wise women know that Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription is a marvelous remedy
for those troubles that make a woman’s life
miserable, and fill the period of prospect
ive motherhood with fears. It is the dis
covery of an eminent and skillful specialist,
Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief con
sulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. Over
9o s ooo women have testified to the almost
miraculous action of this wonderful remedy.
It works directly on the organs distinctly
feminine. It makes thpm strong and
healthy. It cures all weakness and disease.
It prepares for wifehood and motherhood.
It insures baby’s health and makes its ad
vent easy and nearly .painless. Druggists
•ell it. Nothing else is “just as good.”
Mrs. G. A. Connor, of Alleghany Spring, Mont
gomery Co., Va., writes: “My daughter, aged 15
» " j a Koitre coming on her neck and it
disfigured her very much. lam happy to say
that it has disappeared after the use of one bot
tle of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription."

Again, the Irish National League of
America found that it could serve the
interests of the old country and of
America at the same time by drawing
attention to the way in which England,
always persistently following her policy
of extermination against the Irish peo
ple in Ireland, using the Irish landlords
as her willing instruments in this abom
inable work, was first reducing the
Irish peasants to utmost ruin by system
atic plunder and then, as their mainte
nance in the workhouses would become
a heavy tax on the landlords, which
would militate against wholesale evic
tion, shipping the broken down paupers
to America. In 1883 a delegation of
prominent Irishmen, among whom were
the late Eugene Kelly and John Roach,
waited on President Arthur to bring to
his attention the manner in which the
Irish landlords were getting rid of the
burdens they themselves had created by
deporting to this country the inmates of
Irish workhouses, paupers, imbeciles
and others. Since then the emigration
laws have been enforced more strictly
than they were before. This year Irish
men have again exerted all their efforts
to save this great country from a real
danger into which England tried to
draw her. The arbitration treaty was
rejected, and now many generous heart
ed Americans, who at first saw only in
.this treaty an affirmation of the great
principle of universal peace and justice,
and as such were ready to support it,
now recognize the complications and
dangers into which it might lead the
great republic.
The hypocrisy of England is so appar
ent How can an empire whose whole
fabric is built upon bloodshed and the
ruin of weaker nations talk of peace
and arbitration? England’s hands are
red with the blood of the dusky tribes
in South Africa. She is conspiring
against the free Boer republic of the
Transvaal. She has through wanton
misgovernment and plunder brought
about a famine in India which is de
stroying hundreds of thousands of lives,
and now she is carrying warfare and
destruction among the gallant tribes of
India, who, with the sight of the fam
ine befors them, venture to doubt the
benefits of British civilization and gov
ernment. Why, England has engaged
in more wars against weaker nation! (
during the record reign of Victoria that- .
any other country of the world during j
the same period!
If England so loves the principle of •
arbitration, why does she not arbitrate |
the Irish question? Our cause is so just'
we would willingly leave it to the jus-'j
Sice of the’ United States or any inter ■
national tribunal. But England would
n’ot consent to arbitration with a weak
er country than herself. She is strain
ing every nerve, she is spending mil
lions with lavish hand, to get the arbi
tration treaty passed with the United
States. She has been beaten once, but
she has not given up hope. She wants
arbitration with America to bolster up
Her prestige in Europe, which has re
ceived severe blows of late. She wants
a treaty with the United States to se
cure her food supplies in case of war,
for which she is preparing and which
her policy of imperial extension cannot
fail to bring about sooner or later.
The patriotism and fidelity of Irish
people to the federal government have
never been doubted. One of the most
agreeable pictures of my visit to thia
country has been to learn in my conver
sations with many distinguished Irish
leaders whom I have Seen here that in
the event of any difficulty with any for
eign power my countrymen in the
United States would leap to the front
as one man to defend the integrity of
the republic and the honor of her flag.
In matters that concern the welfare of
their adopted country and of their na
tive land their' self sacrificing devotion
to the cause of Irish freedom is'too well
known to need any words of mine. •
At the time of the Fenian rising over
300,000 men were enrolled in the or
ganization in America, and no move
ment having for object the independence
and welfare of Ireland has ever failed
to obtain their financial. and personal
support. Next year the century of our
great struggle for liberty of 1798 will
see the return of thousands and thou
sands of Ireland’s children—not only
from America, but from Australia,
South Africa and every country where
Irishmen are scattered over the world—
to take part with the people at home in
the immense national pilgrimage which
will visit all the glorious battlefields of
; 98. It will be a rally of the Irish peo
ple, an affirmation before the world of
the principle of Irish nationality and a
demonstration that the whole Irish race
are united in the determination to free
their native land and are waiting and
watching for the opportunity when
England’s difficulties will give them an
opportunity of doing so.

FADS OF FASHION.
Where Battons Are Worn New Dress
Goods—Tea Gowns and Caps.
[Special Correspondence.]
New York, Nov. 16.—The girls can
always be trusted to evolve some new
fad before the old one has grown an
cient of days. Just now it is to have a
sailor hat of dark felt, with a black rib
bon baud and a bright plaid ribbon bow
on the right eide pear the spout. The
THE ROME TBJBUNE. WEI
Alack band is' studded with buttons,
army buttons And navy buttons, in dif
ferent sizes. These buttons are supposed
to have been cut from the sleeves or
fronts of coats or from the naval or
military caps of admiring friends. I
saw one young lady today wearing 18
of these buttons. On some was the eagle
and on others the anchor. She looked
so very demurely sweet and innocent
that I know she was rejoicing with a
great though secret delight over the too
evident efforts of all other young girls
there present to count the buttons. It
may be said no other uniform buttons
count than those belonging to the army
and navy, though it is possible that one
from the coat of the big ocean steamer
captain would count in. If I had a but
ton factory, I would at once start in and
manufacture these buttons and sell them
in broken lots, so that all the girls could
have all they wanted. Who would
know whether they were purchased or
whether Tom, Dick or Harry gave them?
Buttons as garniture are seen on
many of the smart capes and coats in
smoked pearl, mother of pearl and other
material. For the coats they may be large
or small, but for the capes they are nearly
always very small, in some instances no
larger than those used on shirts and
gloves. They are set in clusters of three
in triangular form* or in lines almost
Overlapping each other in Breton style
Straps and strap seams usually belong
with this style of trimming. Some of
the horn coat buttons are ridiculously
large. It is something of an innovation
to see large horn or rubber buttons on
an evening cloak, but one may see it
now with half an eye. One lovely long
wrap for evening was made of the new
Russian frisette cloth in gray and white.
It was laid in plaits down the front

EVENING CLOAKS.
With opening for the hands. There were
also hollow plaits in the back and a
round cape oyer the shoulders, with a
collar of Alaska sable and binding
around it. Four immense black rubber
buttons were put along the opening.
Speaking of evening wraps reminds
me to mention the fact that the latest
are rather snug around the bottom and
have little or no flare from the top. One
was of gray cashmere, quite plain as to
the lower part, which reached nearly to
the bottom of the gown. It was lined
with magenta quilted satin. The upper
part had a quaintly shaded cape, cut to
represent a yoke and shoulder forms,
yet all in one piece. This was bordered
with gray fox fur and had a storm col
lar of the same. The newest capes and
wraps all have dark or black satin lin
ing, very few having any brocade or fig
ured silks at all. Evening capes and
wraps may have lighter shades. One
hunter’s green cloth long cape had a
lining of a deep cherry red satin, but
that was an exception. Those lined
with black are infinitely richer.
Black satin duchesse is one of the
handsomest of all the goods of the sea
son for almost all purposes. In skirts to
wear with the fancy waists and blouses
it is rich and handsome and the right
thing in the right place. It makes rich
street and visiting gowns, and when
rightly trimmed for the purpose is hand
some for swell dinner and reception
dresses and can be cleaned when soiled,
as no other silken fabric can, without
showing that it 'requires such ignoble
treatment. Satin duchesse is capable of
so many different uses that 1 could not
enumerate them all in a week. It is
stylish for the young and stately for the
old.
The new woolens for winter outdoor
wear are very rough. There is a Rus
sian frisette which is as fuzzy as a Skye
terrier, only the hairs are not quite so
long. Plaids with lines of curled or
knotted mohair marking the outline are
among the handsomest things for young
ladies: They are always cut bias, even
the blouses and sleeves. Velvet trim
mings finish them off.

“Just as

cheaper,” is a statement sometimes
made by the druggist when Scott’s
Emulsion is called for. This shows
that the druggists themselves regard
Scott's
Emulsion
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos
phites of Lime and Soda as the
standard, and the purchaser who
desires to procure the M standard ”
because he knows it has been of
untold benefit, should not for one
instant think of taking the risk of
fusing some untried prepa
ration. The substitution
of something said to be
“just as good** for a stand

should not be permitted by
the intelligent purchaser.
