A SIGNIFICANT INCIDENT.

The opening of the session OF con-
gress Yesterday was attended by no
surprises until toward the close of the
days proceedings in the house. The
business of the senate was OF rou-
tine aud formal. character T1ce-fesl=
dent Morton's occupancy Of the chair
of the president of the senate was The
most noticeable event. In the house
Mr.. Reed was made speaker by vote
of l66 as against l54 for Mr.. Carlisle
and one for Cummings, of New York.
Speaker Reed acknowledged the honor
conferred OF him in a brief and appro-
pirate speech, and the session began
with everybody in good humor. A
furry was produced, however, when
Mr.. Cheadle, a republican, bolted the
candidate OF his caucus for chaplain,
and moved the substitution Of the
name OF Mr.. Milburn, the blind demo
cratic chaplain of the last house. Sew
eral republicans joined Cheadle. land with
their help the democrats after spirited
struggle, electeds Milburn by vote OF
166 to 155. The incident shows how
difficult it may be for the republicans
to carry party m measures in the present
house. The majority when all men,
bers are present being not over eight,
and under ordinary circumstance lik' "
to fall to two or three, or even disap-
pear altogether, they are subject to all
sorts of accidents. The caprice Of
Que offended republican, the sickness
of another, the absence OF a third, ard
an accident to fourth may at any
time break a quorum or make diyis-
ion result the wrong way. Arbitrary
measures with the minority are clearly
impracticable under the circumstances
brought forcibly to the public notice
in the election of a democratic chap

THE great German gunmaker
Krupp is said to be looking for loca-
ton in this country for branch of his
gun foun'lry, and with its i'm
mense resources in coal, iron and
other mineral there is no better place
in the United States for the location of
such an establishment than right here
in Roanoke. Sooner or later our own
government will build gun factory
somewhere lin the interior for the man
ufacture of heavy ordnance, and when
this is decided upon Roanoke will be a
strong competitor for the place. In

A Poorly Paid Profession.

The actor whose salary is $50 or less
per week is not, as a rule, as well off
as the clerk or salesman who receives
half the amount. The actor arely
gets his salary for more than eight
months in the year, and when unpaid
salaries and prematurely closed sea-
sons are taken into account n still
further reduction has TO be made.
Then, too, the actor. and particularly
the actress, has much greater expense
for dress than any other person earns
ing a proportional income, while the
cost OF living. while travelling. in even
second-class hotels, is double that
necessary at home.
At all the agencies lists OF actors
classed according TO their special
abilities are kept, and the agent gen.
orally knows pretty accurately what
salaries will be accepted. He is also
supplied with one or more photo
graphs Of his clients. A manager who
wants either single actor or an en-
tire company states hi1 wants to the
agent, who looks over his list OF UNI
employed people, and then submits
HililtS anu I'liobo-IlpIo w tllc MANA
ger. He selects two or three, who are
requested 90 meet him at the office,
and from these a final choice is made.
Between 5000 and 1000 names are on
the books Of some agencies. These
names include not only every class OF
actor, but, tagc-carpenters, property
men, baggage business mana
gers and advance agents. New York

And sad endure, comes peace made sure,
