4 PRETTY MAUD GONNE, 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- * Wrlr wm is' JsSh' iiiiwi ■mhi Jll™ MISS MACD GONNE. al League of America in 1884 sent dele nations to both the Republican and 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.

Democratic conventions and had planks inserted in the platforms of both parties declaring against the ownership of American soil by foreign syndicates or individuals. 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. Maud Gonnr. 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 wM J® i® TO flirt 111 I■ WQ 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.

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.
