IriHhrAmerLrsanJnanlatv Thursday Night. The first meeting of the new year of the Irish-American Society was held at Hibernian Hall Thursday night, with an increased attendance, M. W. Murphy presiding in the absence of President Thomas Keenan. Two applications for membership were received, and after the transaction of routine business and reception of reports officers were installed for the ensuing year as follows: President Charles Feeney. First Vice President Thos. D. Claire. Second Vice President M. W. Mur phy. Treasurer Thomas Tarpey. Recording Secretary W. M. Lawler. Marshal John Kenney. Sentinel Timothy Lyons. President Charles Feeney upon taking the chair delivered a stirring address, and called npon the members to aid in making the Irish-American Society one of the best and most influential in Ken tucky. Joining Irish societies at the age of sixteen, he has always been identified with them, and as President of this one he pledged himself to jealously guard its interests and reputation. Keen disappointment was felt over the inability ot Mark Ryan to accept the office of Financial Secretary. Secretary Ryan has lately began the study of law, and this with his other duties rendered it impossible for him to assume the responsibilities of the office. The elec tion of his successor was postponed till the next meeting. Secretary Ryan's semi-annual report was the most complete and satisfactory of any who has ever held the position, being correct in every particular. President Feeney announced that his appointment of standing committees would not be made till the next meeting, when an attendance of several hundred is expected to be rjressnt. Under the head of good of the order spirited talks were made by William Lawler, M. W. Murphy, Thomas Claire, Mark Ryan and President Feeney. There was a lantern entertainment embracing several very interesting views of scenery and life in the Irish-speaking districts at the last weekly meeting of the Dublin branch of the Gaelic League, a large audience being present. The ap pointment of judges for the Leinster Feis competitions was proceeded with, and the full list will be anuouueed shortly. An attractive programme for the meetings during the new year was completed. At Collon Petty Sessions, County Louth, Patrick Brooks, Joseph Finegan, Thomas Farrell, Joseph McKenna and Patrick Gray, all of Drogheda, were summoned at the instance of Viscount Massereeiie and the Irish Game Protection Associa tion, for poaching on the lands of Oriel Temple in November last. The bench found that the case had been proved, and sentenced the defendants to two months' imprisonment each and ordered them to find bail for their future good behavior Of tube iutstisoned for a further neriod at m Division 1 of Jeffersonville initiated nine Thursday night. The next meeting of the County Board will take place January 31. The annual ball of Division 12 of Bos ton was a gratifying success. Every member owes it to himself to attend at least one meeting each month. Letters received from Dan Harnedy re port him ns prospering in San Francisco. The Young Men's Division will again inaugurate its monthly socials January 1G. Division 1 of Scrantou closed its last meeting for the year with an enjoyable smoker. The Hibernians of Chelsea, Mass., will celebrate their anniversary with a ball on January 26. Division 20 of Milton will hold its an nual reunion and ball in the Town Hall February 21. There should be a large turn-out of Louisville Hibernians at the meeting in New Albany tomorrow week. There are a number of old-time Hi bernians who would be gratified with a visit from Rev. Father Sheehy. The Daughters of Eriu of St. Paul will give a dance January 24 that promises to be a leading social event in Irish circles. The Hibernians are taking a leading part in the formation of a central body to be known as the United Irish Societies of Baltimore. The Ladies' Auxiliary of Division 21 of Boston will entertain its friends with a reception and ball at Union Park Hall on the evening of January 24. A new division, to be known as Divis ion 70, was instituted Christmas eve in Dorchester, Mass., by County President Cromn and staff with a charter member ship of fifty. Divisions G, 7, 13, 32, 3G, 57, 58, GO and G6 of South Boston have appointed com mittees to arrange for a union celebration and parade of the order in that district, to take place on March 17. The Hibernian Rifles of Detroit gave their first reception and ball at the Light Infantry Hall last week for the benefit of their uniform fund. The attendance was quite large and a handsome sum was realized. The Hibernian Rifles of Providence opened their fair in Hibernian Hall Tues day evening. The Rifles are developing into one of the most popular institutions in that city and their success is consid ered certain. Division 1 of Frankfort entertained its friends with a delightful dance Wednes day evening at Y. M. I. Hall. Excellent uiusjchad been secured and those nc- ceigiuvttoBaIyereentcrtaii: haitdbanMiiUMiAef, Christmas eve in Grav's"HallFSoatlf ton, Jeremiah J. Hennessey was given a gold badge in recognition of his work for the order. President Curran made the presentation speech. A new divisiou has been organized in the Nineteenth ward, New York. It will be known as, "Division 4, 1900 Club." It will be formerly instituted by County President Malley and County Chaplain Charles McCready on January S, and will start with nearly 100 charter mem bers. Division 4 of Minneapolis passed resol tions praying that victory may crown the efforts of the Boers, and that another such asylum for the oppressed and another such home for liberty may be erected in South Africa as a monument to their achievements as the father of this republic constructed here in America against the same people and against the same influence. President James Noonan and the offi cers of Division 3G of Rochester, N. Y., were appointed a committee to consult with officers of other Irish societies of that city to arrange for a mass meeting to express sympathy for the Boers. There are over 1,500 members of the order there. At the last meeting of this divi sion the members expressed themselves as ready for action against England should proper emergency arise. Division 34 of Worcester, Mass., cele brated its third anniversary in Hibernian Hall by initiating twenty members and receiving twenty-six applications. At the close of the business meeting there was n social session. There were present County President John J. Rogers, officers of other Worcester divisions and many members. President Peter H. Breen made his an nual report. He said eighty-four mem bers were admitted to the division in the year and there are twenty-six to be ad mitted the first meeting ofthe new year. The rolls show a membership of 250 financial members. The finances are in good shape, the gain for the year having been $700. Besides the money on hand the division has deposited with the Hi bernian Building Association $200 toward the building fund. County President Rogers, ex-President Francis P. McKeon and Edward J. McMahon also spoke. PARNELL MEMORIAL, THEATRICALS. The Mcffcrt Stcjck Company will be seen next week in 1 gorgeous revival of "Faust." It will lie the first production of the celebrated play by any stock com pany, and no expense will be spared to make the play attractive. All the elabor ate electrical effects that made the Mor rison version gorgeous will be introduced and the celebrated revel on the Brocken will be a feature. There will also be the beautiful apotheosis in the last act. Mr. McWade will play Mephlsto; Mr. Brophy, i CHAFF, i Again under the ''maternal" rule of Britain conies the dreadful news that starvation is stalking across the land of India 20,000,000 people suffering the pangs of hunger, the high caste scram bling with the pariahs for bread get out at a railroad station by a few kind-hearted passengers These are items gleaned "-" f cablegrams from Bombay to the Faust, and Miss Rodgers will be the 1 . , , Marguerite. In the construction of this great play Goethe consumed sixty -years. It was projected in 17G9, at the age of twenty, and finished in the year 1831, at the age of eighty-two completed within just seven months of his death. The company will be augmented and many accessories employed. On the whole the play will be one of unusal interest and beauty, bringing out the full strength of the Temple Stock Company. "Over the Fence," Owen Davis' new musical farce comedy, which comes to the Avenue next week, is said to be one of the brightest and most original con- ceits of this kind ever written. A big company, containing John C. Rice, Sally Cohen, Harry LeCJlair, the Olympic Quartet, the Becknels and bright viva cious chorus girls, will be seen to great advantage. The farce embraces comedy of the very latest pattern, full of ginger, replete with musical numbers and filled with comical situations that keep the audience continuously laughing. , Coming to the Buckingham for a week commencing Sunday next is the hit of the season, Williams' "Imperial Bur lesquers," with beautiful scenic effects and many popular artists, including the best laugh-makers on the American stage. The show is composed of legitimate comedy and the best vocalists that can be procured to make the theater-going public enjoy themselves. The perform- Dublin Irishmen Decide Proceed at Once With Its Erection. to An Associated Press dispatch says that at a meeting of the Parnell Memorial Committee in Dublin Tuesday, Lord Mayor Daniel Tallon presiding, John E. Redmond announced the result of the recent tour of the Lord Mayor and hinii self in the United States in the interest of the fund. The committee adopted a resolution thanking the people of the United States for their generosity, with particular reference to Tammany" Hall's donation of $15,000: It' was decided to proceed immediately with the erection of Utoaattnortni o LAURENCE CRANE, "Magic in Irish," at the Buckingham. ance is in two burlesques with laughs from start to finish and an olio of enter tainers that have nd peer in their line. The most notable among them is John E. Cain, one of America's greatest all-around comedians, with such fine co-workers as Whitelaw and Stewart, whose past repu tation speaks for itself. Then comes Miss Phylis Ruffell, the most cultured artist in burlesque, with a form and gracefulness uneqtialed; Miss Blanche Newcomb, our dainty, winsome and popular soubrette, better named the "Lady Chesterfield of character song and dance artists;" Law rence Crane, the Irish comedy magician, who stands before the public above all others in this line. Fred Bulla, the real Yankee rube, brings many laughs to lovers of that style of entertainment. Clos ing the olio are the great colored per formers Jones, Grant and Jones, the only original authors, singers and dancers of their own compositions. The great New York success, "The Girl in Blue," with Mile. DeLeon in her own creation of sensational dances, which have made a big hit in the East, will close the per formance. The usual matinees will be given. " PICTURE .FRAMES.

They also carry a large line of holy and other pictures. FATHER MALONE. Father Malone, who died in Brooklyn last month, at the beginning of the civil war hoisted a Union flag on his church spire, and there it remained until it was taken down in order that it might be carried to the front. It was replaced by another which the citizens presented. All through the war he labored arduously in behalf of his country, contributing generously both in money and exertion. At the close of the war he made a tour of the South in company with ,Rev. Father Farrell. i If the moths have begun to eat your carpet, take the til e tacks out, turn it one-half yard all around the room, wash the boards .with a saturated solution of camphor, putting it a with a paint brush ; then lay the carpi t back in Its proper place, put over it a t swel wrung out of water camphor ant iron it thoroughly, with! a red hot ir n so as to steam it" smg and throna i, and this will hill press. And yet sentimental preachers and sham patriots call on the "motherly heart," forsooth, of Victoria to put an end to the wholesale destruction of her sons and of the honest farmers of South Africa. Instead of ending the horrors of war, she is supplying millions of dollars for the further' purchase of ammunition and calling on the people for new recruits to take the places of their slaughtered brethren. Instead of ameliorating the condition of the people of India she has taxed them so exorbitantly that India is pointed out by economists as having the worst system of government in the world. Like in Ireland, a drouth is dreaded as much as a pestilence. Its rich mines fill the coffers of England's royal beggars with glittering gold and precious stones either of which will reach quicker to the "motherly heart" of Victoria than the cries of the helpless starving cr the wails of those dying on African soil for patriotism or love of freedom. A more vindictive creature posing under the sem blance of mother and Queen is-not to be found in any country in Europe. Prob ably had the wicked Elizabeth been a mother she might have been less a mon ster. But even Elizabeth was possessed of more feeling than the present Han overian ruler of England. Posterity will ridicule the adoratichi she has received from her Parliamentary statesmen, and nations whose ruin she has aided and connived nt will detest her memory. A contemporary states that wives in Tanganyika are quite a luxury, costing as they do from $150 to $800. In Zululand the price is the same, but on the plateau of Tanganyika one can be had for five or six goats. One goat equals fifteen or twenty cents; therefore one wife equals $1.50. IThe worship of the golden calf has been the crying sin of the nineteenth century. Will it continue to be the same during the twentieth? The forming of trusts would go to illustrate that only the beginning of such an era has been be queathed us by the last century. Whether this hybrid evil will continue to dazzle the eyes of men until they become glutted with injustice and blinded by greed, until some Moses will arise to destroy the accursed idol and lead men to enjoy more of natural happiness while on earth is a problem for the future to solve. A dry goods store on Market street three.weeks . atro jliscliareed Jrorn. ilsfemf! piuy u wormy man who nus a wiie mm two children, taking in his place a young woman who was willing to do the same work for one third what the man was receiving. Furthermore it is well known that she wished to use tlje salary for"pin money." The pittance was already niggardly enough, but these money sharks saw a chance of getting something still cheaper and took advantage of it. What can be thought of this cruel indifference to others whether they live or starve, lead honest lives or become thieves, forgers, crimi nals? That women fill the places of men in business would be censured by none; but when they accept these positions at salaries far below those which men de mand and get, it amounts to nothing less than a crime. Salaries have been cut in two for men simply by this having to compete with their sisters. Strangely enough, like a boomerang, it reacts first on woman herself, in that she has smaller income for her household expenses and the maiutanence of her children. One of the countless evils resulting from this decrease in wages is the swelling of the ranks of hoboes, vagrants and no-account men of whom the country has more than its share. Our sisters must consider their work as good as that of her brothers, and remember the text of Holy Scripture that "the laborer is worthy of his hire," do good work and demand good pay. The beautiful Countess Castiglione, who died in Paris recently, forgotten by the gay Parisian world whom once she charmed by her beauty, was a sad ex ample of fickle fortune and worldly favor. She was considered the loveliest woman in France. The nobility not only of her own land, for she was an Italian, but o'f every country she visited, paid her hom age. Yet she died alone and in com parative poverty, because the world i3 true to its maxims, at the time of life when society would have been sweetest to her. Annib Nbvin Cunningham. HARMLESS JOKE. Place a spool of cotton in the inside pocket of your coat, and, having threaded a needje with the beginning of the cot ton, pass the needle through the front of the coat, unthread the needle and leave about two iuches of the cotton-hanging, as if it were only a stray piece. The first person you meet wiil be sure to pick it off for you, and his astonishment, when he finds there is no end to it, will give plenty of innocent fun.
