it may continue through November.
Builders and contractors are anxious to
have their building enclosed and rooted

Besides all this our manufacturers
have all they can do, many of them

Sscond.-Does the Senate elect any
other than the Vice President when h.
is present
Answer.-It does not at the COM
mencement of the session. but at tn.
closing OF the session the rule has been
to elect President pro.tem. This how

how the intellectual Anna would acouit her

critical time arrived the masculine lady
backed out, refusing to give her manager
any explanation whatever, and now she ia

quite an intellectual person. She has made
considerable money lecturing and writing
bad plays, and she ought to DO responsible
t. MIR. Stetson for the injury she has done
him. Philadelphia is her old home and II
may be possible that at the last
moment she lacked the courage to unsex
herself before her old acquaintance.
We have seen it limited that perhaps the un-
shspliness of her limbs had something to do
with frightening her away from the role of
Hamlet, but that can hardly be true. Even
though the lady lacks the symmetry of the
venus OF Milo, art stands ready to supply
all deficiencies and little preliminary
touching up at any time will give her more
graceful pair of stage limbs than Henry
irving or Edwin Booth possess, for they
are too conscientious to pad. But in
school OF sham and artifcisli,y, il
is not possible that the gentle Anna could
have been shaken in her fell purpose by
natural repugnance for "symmetries." 1t
is more than likely that Miss Dickinson, ow-
ing to her love of notoriety was over.per.
susded and made her contract without due
maidenly delberation. Afterwards her mod.
esty asserted itself. Having failed SO dis.
