The resolu- tion discountenancing the sport for female human beings older than 15 was intro- duced by the delegates from the Daugh- ters of Erin and was argued for and against by both men and women speakers on the floor of the convention. The motion was introduced by Miss Dur- kin of the Daughters of Erin and sec- onded by Miss M. McCarthy, who main- tained, in particular, that what has for- merly been a feature of the picnics s not reality rish custom; that ‘“‘fat ladies’ race: thin ladies' races,” ‘‘mar- | ried” and ‘‘unmarried lddies’ races” are unknown in Ireland and that such sport should be restricted to the children. Those who opposed an expression of opinion by the convention held that the matter was for the women themselves to decide and that those who wished to enter the races should not be prevented from go doing. OPPOSE IRISH CARICATURES. The motion was adopted By a two-to-one vote, but many of the delegates steered clear of trouble by refusing to vote upon the question. Another matter presented by Miss Mc- Carthy for actlon by the convention was the selling of candy boxes in the stores throughout the city modeled in the so- called likeness of the typical Irishman. The convention decided to have the so- cleties order its members and appeal to the Irish people to refrain from patroniz- ing stores exhibiting the alleged carica- tures. Chairman P. H. Flynn opened the day's proceedings by calling for jig and reel steps by J. P. Kelleher and hornpipes and o+ (S:AO CQO T T LIS - 4 —fe OFFICIALS OF ST.

The men were called from their work and with the ajd of several timbers used as levers the wagon and its load of three tons of hay was pried out of the ditch. The driver was trying to make the crossing on the streetcar track, but the wheels of the wagon being wider than the track the outside wheels were obliged to run on planking which lplnnld the ditch. The front wheels without trouble, but when the mnd wheels were in the center of the bridge the planking gave way, throw- ing the wagon and its load Into the trench. The men did excellent work and within less than a half hour the O'Farrell-street cars, which had been blockaded by the wagon, were run- ning again. ———————— Murdered by Masked Robbers.

White De- nounces Playhouses of the Period From His Pulpit WHY CHURCHES OPPOSE Productions Pander to the Baser Elements of Human Nature, the Pastor Declares “The Relation of the Church and the Theater’” was the theme of a sermon given before a large congregation by the Rev. George W. hite, D. D, at the Central Methodist L‘plucopax Church last night. Dr. W aite made it his purpose to show that the Methodist chureh is not alone in its objection to theaters, especially those wherein plays of 2 Qquestionable nature are ented. He also desired it to be understood that when he alluded to cer- tain lax morals of people earning their livelihood on the stage he did not fnclude all, for he was well aware that in the theatrical calling can ~be found many moral actors and actresses. Still he used the names of prominent writers, men long oonnected with the drama and, divines, Bishop and Archbishop, and ministers outside Methodism, to prove his case and uphold his contention that the time has come when censorship should be a perma- nent safeguard against the ‘nastiness, vulgarity and immorality of some of the plays presented today.” INFLUENCES ON YOUTH, Certain houses in San Francisco came under his scorching criticism, for it was | thelr baneful productions which an offi- clal had stated had been the means of ruining youths until they wound up in the reformatory. A recent brutal murder in Oakland by several youths, two of whom are in the penitentlary, was at- tributed to the viclous influence of the low theater upon their young minds. He said the reason the churches oppose the theater is that it so largely panders to the baser elements of human nature. No one, he sald, denied that there are moral plays and noble actors, but the theater must be judged as a whole, He continued as follows: The theater's motto {5 “We strive to please,”” and the church's motto e “We strive 1p save.’”” Presbyterian ministers, including such men as Theodore Cuyler and others of the "sama church; Archbishop Glepnon of 8¢ Louis and Bishop Scannel of Omaha, both of the Roman Catholic church, have taken up the matter. Bishop Scannel recently warned the piople against the theaters on the ground of thelr degrading influence, ‘and Archbishop Glenngn has done the same thing. Even some leading dramatic critics are joining in the at- tacke. Max Beerbohm Tree and the late Clement Scott of London charge that the stage 19 degenerated to an alarming degree, Willlam Metcalte had a pessimistic article in last De- cember's Atlantic Monthly under the title “Is the Theater Worth While?' and answered the questicn in the negative when judged by its present character.

ADVERTISEMENTS. ‘Backache, How often do we hear women say: “It seems as though my back would break,” or “‘Don’t speak to me, I am all out of sorts"? Thesesignificant remarks prove that the system requires attention. Backache and *‘ the blues” are direct symptoms of an inward trouble which will sooner or later declare itself. It may be caused by disecased kidneys or some derangement of the organs. Nature requires assistance and at once, and Lydia E Pinkhem'sVegetable Com- pound instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women. It has been the standby of intelligent American women for twenty years, and the best judges agree that it is the most universally success- ful remedy for woman’s ills known to medicine. Read the convincing testimonials of Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Cotrely, Mrs, J.C. Holmes, of Larimore, North Daicota, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— *1 have suffered everything with backache and female trouble—I let the trouble run on until my system was in such a condition that 1 was unable to be about, ard then it was I comwmenced to use L{(fin Pinkham's Vege- table Componnd. * If 1 had only known how much suflel'mfi[ would have saved I should have taken months sooner—for ‘a few ‘weeks' treatment made me well and strong. My backaches and headaches are all gone and 1 suffer no pain at my monthly periods, whereas before I took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound I suffered intense pain.” Mrs. Emma Cotrely, 109 East 12th Street, New York City, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— T feel it my duty to tell all suffering women of the relief I have found in Lydia E.

Iam completel enjoy the best of health, and to you.” ‘When women are troubled with irreg=- ular, suppressed or painful perious, weakness, displacements or ulceration, that bearing-down feeling, inflamma- tion of the female organs, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general de- bility, indigestion and nervous prostra- tion, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excit- ability, irritability, nervousness, sleep- lessness, melancholy, ‘*all gone” and ‘‘ want-to-be-left-alone” feelings, blues and hopelessness they should remem-~ ber there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound at once removes such troubles, No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. No other medicine in the world has received this widespread and unqualified endorse- ment. Refuse to buy any substitute. FREE ADVICE TO WOMEN. Remember, every woman is cordially invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham if there is anything about her symptoms she does not understand. Mrs. Pink- ham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia B, Pinkham, her assistant before her de~ cease, and for twenty-five years since her advice has been freely and cheer- fully {lven to every ailing woman who asks for it. Her advice and medicine have restored to health innumerabla women. Address, Lynn, Mass. owe it all Institute Will Hear Lecture.
