Reminis- That was all enter
tanning speech made
cences of a by Hon. MARK I'll.
DUNNELL at the Roch-
Congressman. ester banquet last
Thursday night. He
was in reminiscent mood, and spoke
freely of his experiences and observa-
lions during the twelve Years he served
in congress. In the senate, he said,
everything went by courtesy. If the
senator from Alabama, or the senator
from Minnesota, or the senator from
California, or the senator from any
other state had a pet measure that he
wanted passed, all he had to do was to
privately signify his wishes to the other
senators. That settled the passage of
the bill. No senator could he so dis
courteous TO a brother senator as to OPP
pose his pet scheme. There was none
of that sort of foolishness in the lower
house of congress. 1t was the most
democratic body in the world, where
every tub had to stand ON its own bot
tom, and every member carried free
lance. Every bill that came before the
house was exposed to a scathing fire
from all along the line. and if it didn't get
perforated before reaching the stage of
final passage it was due more to good
luck than to any sense of courtesy
among the members. 1.-The most useful
representatives in congress are usually
those whose names appear least fire.
quently in print" said Mr.. DUNNELL.
The members who shoot Off their
mouths every day, in order to have their
names appear i'll the Congressional Rec
ord, are not the influential ones. The
useful members of congress are the in
dustrious ones, who spend most of their
time in the committee rooms" Mr..
DUNNELL has been out of congress for
six years, but will resume his public
career at the opening of the next con-
gress. During the twelve years that l
seryedin congress-" continued Mr.. Dun
NELL, 81 was associated with three men
whom l will meet on my return-two
Democrats and one Republican-whose
names deserve to live in American his
tory because of the distinguished serv-
ices they have rendered the country.
All three OF them are best known
by their nleknames. L refer to "Sun-
set'' Cox, pig Iron" KELLEY and lob
structer' HOLMAN. SAMUEL SULLI-
VAN Cox is the most lovable man ever
knew. Gentle as a woman, as genial as
the suns rays, of immaculate purity,
honest, courageous, and the very child
of genius, Mr.. Cox is one of the most
industrious and painstaking members
that ever served in the federal con-
gress. Judge KELLEY, the father of the
house, is another man who has always
moved on the high plane of duty. He
follows his convictions without regard
to party expediency, and is one of the
most faithful and interchangeable workers
[ ever knew. Judge HoLMHN is not
popular among the members, yet the
source of his unpopularity IS his chief
merit. lie stands at the door of the
treasury like watchdog. That little
81 object of his has been the saving of
many millions to the taxpayers. Such
men as these, no matter what party
they may affiliate with, deserve place
in the everlasting remembrance of their
countrymen."

A NV disease that is attracting at

the telephone ear. Most of those who
use the telephone very much in time
become hard of hearing in the left ear.
The left is almost invariably used at the

sound affects the hearing. Probably
the time will come when less effort will

fully upon the scheme of the admins

regarded as pointer. The Age looks

votes, all carried by it for the Republi-
cans. The gain of state or two in the
South will not compensate for its loss.

TOPICAL TALK.
The Season This is the sight-see-

The Season This is the sight-see-
ing season, the season
for of fairs and exposi-
tons and eircuses,
Sightseeing. when everybody is on
the lookout for some
thing, whether it be new or old. Any
person who has ever seen one fair or
exposition or circus has seen them all.
They are things in which there is
neither variableness nor shadow OF
turning, and yet people are just as eager
to see the last one as they were the
first one. This inclines me to the belief
that we are nation of Sight-seerS, who
are not very discriminate as to what we
see, just so there is something to be seen.
1t got to be the fashion in the declining
days of old Athens for the people to
spend their time in running up and
down the streets in search of something
new. 1t does not follow as all argument
that because we give ourselves
up to seasons of sightseeing that
we are in national decline.
In the first place, it is only
periodical with us, not an everyday
business. In the second place, the
Athenians were not content unless they
heard some new thing or found some
new object. We are not afflicted with
any such symptoms of national degen-
eracy. We go to the fairs this year and
see the same old pumpkins that we saw
last year, to the eXpositions and view
the exhibits Of three years standing,
and to the circus and hear the same old
gags that we heard in bOyhOod days;
and are just as we'll satisfied as if there
had been great revolution in the man
ner of getting up public entertainments.
After all, 1t is the social feature of these
Institutions that makes them attractive.
The people get to see each other, and
that is the best sort Of sightseeing
They come from different localities and
mingle with each other; they make and
renew acquaintances; they talk over
subjects that they would not otherwise
have the opportunity to discuss; one
half of the world learns how the other
half is living; they have their season of
recreation and social enjoyment to-
gether; they feel that both time and
money have been well spent, and they
all go home the happier for having gone
to the fair or the exposition.

The Receivers Report Shows De-
creased Net Earnings.
Receiver Truesdale on Saturday no
tilted Judge Young that his report for
the year ending June 80. 1889, was
ready, and Judge Young appointed A.
H. Bode to audit it. The report shows
the following facts in relation to the
earnings and expenses of the road:
Earnings, S1,330.518, decrease of S47,-
321; expenses, 1896, $50, a decreas of s1S,-
AL; net earnings, 1898, $50. The
receiver accounts for the decrease in
earnings by the partial failure of the
crops and the unprecedented COMPETE
ton of seaboard traffic, which has
scaled rates down. He recommends
reorganization of the company through
the medium of a committee represent
ing the different bond interests, al
though the difficulties in the way of an
amfcable reorganization are, he admit6,
considerable. The bond statement ap-
pended to the report show coupons due
and unpaid 1851, 800. The bondholders
are solicitous for return to the pay
ment of interest, and some have sug-
gested that the rate might be scaled
down and enable the road to do so.

TO WATCH HER LADYSHIP.

Must Behave-A seven-Eighths Dark.
ening on the Sixteenth.
Eclipses, like misfortunes, never come
singlv, and darkening of the gun is almost
ALWAYS followed by an obscuring of the moon
after an interval of about Is days.
The earth generally obscures her fair
sister but partially by getting between her
and the sun, and this is the case on the
10th, when but portion of the moon will
pass through the shadow.
A schedule of the lady's movements is
given as follows: Moon enters penumbra
January 16, at 9:37 P. M; enters umbra at
1857 P. NJ; middle of eclipse, 00.29 A. NJ;
leaves umbra 2 A. NJ, and smiles again
serenely at 3:21A.M.
The moons entrance into the penumbra
will scarcely be oticed at the time given,
but at II o'clock it will distinctly be seen.
Even in total eclipse the body of the
moon is illuminated by a lurid, reddish
light which reaches the moon by reflection
from the earth's atmosphere. When the
moon is partially Obscured, this reddish
light is visible, but very faint At the
darkest portion of this eclipse, the moon
will have seven-tenths of her face hidden.
Eclipses are always OF more or less scientific
use, although the benefits derived from an
eclipse of the moon cannot be compared to
those accruing from a sun eclipse on account
of the latter being such an unknown guam
tity, comparatively speaking.

A WORTHY PRIEST ON TEMPERANCE.
Father Landings Lecture at the ST. Mary
of Mercy's Church.


When Rev. Father Lambing, ) at theopening
of his address on temperance, in the st. Mary
of Mercy's Church, last night said he was
glad that so many people were in the
church, and even in the hallway and on the
steps, he spoke of a very evident fact, for
the edifce at the corner of Third avenue
and Ferry street was packed.
The fact that Father Lambing was the
pastor of that congregation years ago had
brought great many of his old friends to
the church to hear him. He commenced
his discussion with the words of Job, saving
that life is a continued warfare between
right and wrong, good and evil. Defining
evil, he spoke OF the passions of mankind,
and while ne characterized impurity as the
greatest evil, he regarded intemperance as
the one which can be most effectively COM
bated by law or other means. In describ-
ing the combat, he called attention to the
enemies and friends of temperance, and con-
cluded bv illustrating to his audience the
glorious result which would inevitably
follow, because it was a fight pleasant in
the sight of God, and hence sure to be sue
cessful.
AT the close very large number of the
congregation took the pledge. A collection
was also made for the benefit of Father
Landings congregation in Williamsburg,
who contemplate the rebuilding of their
church, which burned down only three
weeks ago.
