Reporting Senator's Speeches.

"How long has Congress been stem
geographically reported?" was asked of
Mr.. D. Murphy, the official stenogra-
pher of the Senate.
"The Senate was first so reported in
1S4S. There were one or two attempts
earlier, but they were unsatisfactory
and soon abandoned. The present sys-
tenn began III ls4S in the Senate, and
about lS5J in the House, and has been
continued since"

"Doubtful, think. There has al

ago, perhaps more, 20 have that feature

most vigorous in denouncing the sys-

"No: rather the reverse. As rule,
the men who stand out most promi-
nently in the history OF the Senate
were Of such habits of speech that there
was little occasion for them to revise
the reports OF their speeches. Webs
ter, as | said, was slow speaker and
a careful one. Seward usually wrote
his speeches beforehand and committed
them to memory, so that often he did
not require them to be reported at all,
turning them over in manuscript.
Seward was pretty careful about his
sentences, and would often change
word here or there to polish them up,
as 1t were. sumner was rather slow
speaker, and did not make many
changes in his speeches. Mr.. Chase, of
Ohio, was much given TO making
changes in his speeches. Lincoln
Well, / never reported him, but know
that he was very slow speaker.
Douglas was the opposite, very rapid
speaker. Evarts? Well, everybody
knows about his long sentences. They
are terrible. / remember one in his
speech on the impeachment of Johnson,
which made, think, eighty odd lines
in the record. l never knew but one
man like him, and that was Bell, of
Tennessee. No, there are not many
men in the Senate who are especially
difficult to report. Mr.. Edmunds is
one Of the fastest takers. You would
not think so to listen to him. He
speaks in rather low tone, sort of
conversational manner, and rush % out
his sentences in hurry. Ingalls, is q
pretty fast talker, but his enunciation
is so distinct and clear that it is pleas
ant to report him. Mr.. Beck is very
fast talker, and will keep it up for
hours, too, Logan is about an average.
Blaine? Well, he is not the most
agreeable man in the world to report.
Fast at times, and sometimes not so
fast, q sort of ierky way that is not
comfortable to the stenographer.

Lorenzo Dow.

Lorenzo Dow was born at Coventry,
Connecticut. October 16, 1777, of par
ents in humble life. His education was
very limited, owing to the scanty OPP
portunities Of his time. In 1898, he
was admitted as preacher by the Con-
necticut Methodist Conference, and
during several years fQllQXing preached
on vnfi6ds circuits In Massachusetts,,
New York, and Vermont. He had be-
come impressed with the idea that he
had been divinely called to preach TO
the Catholics in Ireland and for this
purpose made two visits to England
and Ireland, the second time in 1905.
His eccentric manners and remarkable
eloquence drew great crowds, but they
did not always listen TO him patiently !;
in fact, he was frequently hooted at, If
not insulted by the mobs. He first in
troduced camp-meetings into England,
and was instrumental in founding the
society known as the Primitive Metho-
dists. Aher his return from England,
he preacha1 in the Southwest for q
number of v, airs, following the settlers
to the very DO. rders of civilization. He
was not officially connected with the

is accomplished by the blood. The blood,

The saginaw valley strike.

For two weeks past the employees of the
great lumber and salt firms in the Saginaw
valley have been on strike.
Unlike most strikes, the men have not
been contending for an increase of wages,
but for reduction in the hours of labor.
Ten hours day, instead of eleven hours, is
the demand of the strikers. Ten hours is
certainly as long as men should be required
to labor. and is generally considered to be a
days work, and there seems to be no good
reason why the mill men of the valley should
require their men TO work for longer time.
Whether they should pay the same wages for
ten hours work that they have been paying
for eleven hours is another question, and
one that can only be settled by an agreement
between the employer and the employee
The question of wages is one that should be
left 10 be decided between each individual
laborer and his employer. No man is legally
compelled to work for wages with which he
is not satisfied, and every employee, or any
number of workmen combined have legal
right to refuse to work on terms that are not
satisfactory to them, in other words, to strike.
and public opinion, as we'll as the law. will
uphold them and assist in the maintenance
Of such right.
1t is only when men, led on by denia-
gogues and blatherskites, go beyond their
legal right, and while refusing to work them
selves, by force, intimidation threats and vi
olence prevent others, who are willing to
labor, from so doing that they transeress
the law, trespass upon the rights of their
fellow workmen, and lose the sympathy of
the public.
The existing strike originated in Bay City,
from which place n large gang of strikers
went to the Saginaws, and, under the lead of
representative Barry, who has shown him.

To many people Paris would not b

the quays; and desolation simiIart 70
that which would strike the Parisian
bonquinistes we're their beloved stalls
swept away, has Just fallen upon the
literary world Of StPetersburg. Hith-
erto number Of these more or less
itinerant book stalls were to be found
in various parts of the Russian capital;
but a recent order Of the municipal
council has removed them all from the
streets, and henceforth books can only
be sold in ordinary shops. The matter
does not seem to be very important
one certainly; but nevertheless the
prohibition is needlessly vexatious.
Russian bookworms tell many stories
of how. rarities almost priceless have
been picked up from these street-stalls.
In Russia. during the last century, it
was the fashion = have library, and
nearly every country house possessed a
fair collection OF books, ma My French,
but by no means all contemporary pub
locations. Among them were many old
poems and romances OF the sixteenth
and seventeenth Genturies--a charming
and forgotten little world Of books. In

iority of their contents have found their
way to the street-stalls III St. Peters

militia TO the scene Of the strike, which was
an eminently proper thing 20 do, and which,
without doubt, has prevented scenes of dis
order and violence which might have resulted
in the destruction of much property, perhaps
in loss Of life. N''.' re
Since the arrival of the troops, the strik-
ers have conducted themselves with degree
of moderation that has been commendable,
and present indications are that the strike
will come to speedy close. Certainly, both
the mill men and the workmen ought to be
willing, by mutual concessions, TO put an
end to condition of affairs that is unproft-
able and disastrous, not only to themselves
butte the entire state.

A disgrzceful fight occurred al $50 yssteF-

the well-knOxn h7ery stable, man and hls
half brother Ami Kennedy. Who, until two
weeks ago, VA employed IN the stable Al the
corner Of ionia and Fountain streets. James
NJ. Kennedy has been having trouble with
his wife Of late and she has filed bill for
divorce ia the Superior Court. A few days
since The TELEGRAM mentioned an Enpleas-
ant affair that occurred between Mrs. Ken
nedy and one of her step-daughtefs, she be
Ing Mr.. kennedy's second wife, and
il was soon after that occurrence that Ami
left the barn and was forbidden 10 return.
he stayed away until yesterday when ne re
turned and found James NJ. standing on the
sidewalk in front of the barn. james VI.
says that he noticed that Ami had on neck
tie, or scarf, that belonged 10 him, and ne
asked for it; that angry words then passed
between them and Ami struck him IN the
face. knocked him down and began pound
ing him, when no drew his revolver and fired
three shots Ami says that he did not strike
until two of the shots were hred, and

corroborate him by saying that
both were standing when the shooting oc-
Cured, and that they saw Ami rush at James
and knock him down after the third shot was
heard Ami was arrested, taken To police
headquarters, searched and locked up. A
bullet hole was found IN his vest, and IN the
right side pocket was a bullet tiattened at
one end. There was also small milestone
in the pocket which probably stopped the
bail. He was released at O'Clock last
night.
James was not seriously injured, but he
was not in condition to go TO headquarters.
He was taken TO his house and refused to
be seen. reporter who called
at 10 O'Clock was told that doctor had seen
him and did not consider him dangerously
hurt; that he had been ''out of his head
during the evening, but had then gone to
sleep.
The only witness to the whole occurrence
is a Mr.. Neal, an employe at the barn, who
refuses TO talk until he is obliged to. Both
men agree that the trouble yesterday COM
menced about the neck tie, but it Is believed
il grew out of the family trouble. Mr.. Rath-
