Mr.. Pope's Exploit.

When Colonel Bob Ingersoll made his
frightful break in the Chicago Convention
in well-meant effort to boom Gresham,
the chairman found It impossible to restore
order, even after Ingersoll had gathered
himself together and got out. AS usual,
the band, away up in its little loft near the
roof, was too busy looking over the rail at
the convention to respond with few tunes
to the sharp demand of the signal bell,
which he had been jerking violently for five
minutes. In his despair he turned TO
good-looking man standing near him on the
platform and begged him to do something.
Stepping briskly to the front, with fine
st. Louis assurance, the stranger threw up
his hand and opened his mouth. "He
called so loud, as John Milton remarked,
''that all the hollow deep Of hell re-
sounded" think never heard a louder
call. 1t silenced all the yelling voices in
the great assembly and saved our ears from
rupture. Having thus commanded our at
tention he proceeded to deolaim In this
same stentorian voice, but with all an
elocutionist's gestures, Buchanan Reads

there was great outburst of applause, and
then the convention came to order, while

WASHINGTON, March 2l.--Colonel Elliott

The change of the hour for oonyenng the

AN oCHILTREE STORY.

Some of the belated visitors to Washing
ton Inauguration week had hard time of
it. Tom Ochiltree himself arrived at Cham
berlin's only to find the hosteiry of his
bosom friend crowded TO the top ceiling.
Eddie Somborn, who always manages to
get on the inside, had big room, and as
they are good friends he took the genial
Ochiltrec in as sharer of his apartment.
About 10 O'clock that same night we'll
known New York amateur athlete came
into Chamberlin's, and grasping Somborn's
hand assured him that he couldn't find q
place to sleep.
"Turn In on the sofa In my room," sug-
gested the obliging Somborn, and after
ordering bottle Of Grand Sec sent up they
both assembled to the third floor. Then the
. newcomer was presented to Ochiltree, who
had already retired. The bottle Of wine
was finished, and the athlete was first
asleep. Hewas thoroughly tired, and such
loud, variegated, resonant snoring has not
been heard In Washington for many day.
'Say, Eddie, what fs this you have
sprung on mes don't mind buzz-saw
when Pm real wakefui, but to run plan
ing machine up against tired guest"
Mr.. Somborn interrupted with protesta-
tions that were drowned by what sounded
like the roar Of angry surf Issuing from the
divan in the corner.
Suddenly, after ahalf-hour Of this agony,
the sleeper turned, gave q quick, startled
snort, and subsided into silence. The sound
was SO penetrating that Ochiltree sat bolt
upright in bed, and then, when the sleeper
subsidized, he remarked resignedly to Som
born:
swell, Eddie, he's dead--thank God %
and then sank back to blissful repose. -

MIR. coCKBuRN AND ANNEXATION

Mr.. Cockburn, the Conservative Can
adian leader, who, in the Dominion
Parliament Tuesday, made II speech
against commercial union with the
United States, has not, it seems, quite
all the courage of his convictions.
Perhaps itwould be prettier way to put
tito say that he is broader and wiser in
his views in private life than in his po-
litieal capacity. He is an annexationist
from one point of view at least. He is
annexed to the United States already
and by the most pleasant of ties. He
has an American wife and Canadian
American daughter, the latter of whom
talks of annexation in another column
of THE CRITIC to-day.
Fie, Mr.. Cockburn, to make such
II speech against annexation when your
heart all the time was over the borderl
II is almost cruel to unmask Mr..
Cockburn, but il must be done. This
is It matter of international importance.
