Powderly's Power Over Men.
Especial Correepondcnce.l

lOpcClhl SOfreSpOnQeDce.J
OMAHA, Aug. 15.-At the national con-
vention of the Peoples party In Omaha
occurred an incident illustrating the power
OF single man over a great mass. but 1t
passed almost unnoticed in the daily press.
Among the delegates was a minister
from Pennsylvania who evidently wns
mentally unbalanced. He first attracted
attention by bobbing up on his seat when
something In the proceedings pleased him
and shouting, LET the people arise and say
amen" This happened so often that the
convention, ignorant OF the mans condi-
tion, but impressed with his religious fer
vor, took up his cry, and the "amen" shout
was ono Of the pronounced features Of the
great gathering.
During the call OF the roll of states for
nominating speeches the daft one pot IN
several times and asked il it was not Penn
sylvania's turn. When that state was
reached 1t was passed in the hope Of avert
Ing scene. The work was progressing
smoothly when. without warming, the
Pennsylvania burst upon the stage and de-
manded attention by shouting 20 the chair
man, II want to raise a point OF orderi"
repeating the demand until the attention
Of the whole convention was riveted. The
chairman was too dazed to say or do any
thing.
Impatient delegates sprang up in all
parts Of the big hall shouting: "Pull him
DOWN. PUT him outl" Three sergeapts-
alarms rushed upon the stage and Crap
pied with the unfortunate man, but he
had the traditional strength OF a maniac
and made a successful struggle against
the odds. All was confusion, and the
shouting delegates threatened q mad rush
for the platform, when a majestic figure
doomed up before the convention, the left
hand held aloft deprecatingly while the
right snatched the gavel from the chair
man and COVE two or three laundering
raps on the desk.
The great audience was hushed on the
Instant, and the sergeantsat-arms released
their hold. The change was like magic.
Gentlemen Of the convention said be,
this delegate has raised point of order
End he shall have one minute In which 10
state It." f"'
The tones were imperious and rang out
into the farthermost recessee of the great
hall There was no thought OF usurpation.
NO objection to the order, and the convuGs-
ton acquieeced without murmur. A nod
to the delegate at his side and the insa.se
man made an incoherent speech about a
nominee acceptable to God, stamping his
feet and swaytng wildly back and forth
until his face all but touched his knees
The uplifted hand Of the self appointed
chairman commanded silence, and for one
never to be forgotten minute that Immense
tbrong listened amid the profoundest hush
to the rawlings of an insane man. Then taa
gavel fell. and Terence ". Powderly, the
knights Of Labor leader, dropped the badge
Of authority, slipped his brothe1y arm
through the arm Of the poor untoxtunsse
aud led him to his seat as unresistiu9 ard
as docils as lamb. FIRED BESzfEoEn.

Asking u Great Deal.

4 French gentleman of rank, who was
both courteous and intelligent. but had his
fits of observation-disclosures, visited Rome.
and wished to see all the interesting fea-
lures of the city.
The pope assisted him in many WAYS.
He did all that he could to make the stay of
the Frenchmau pleasant. When the pope
thought his visitor had seen all the beauty
and grandeur Of the city, he asked if there
was anything else he could do for his graf
ificatiOn.
1T has been most interesting thank
you, holy father" he replied. Then he
added, meditatively, There is one thing
more l should like to see, and that is the
ceremonies which are observed when the
papal throne is vacant
The pope laughed, and recalled him to a
realization of the situation by saying, Il
shall be 50 unaccommodating as TO keep
you waiting for that as long as possible

Choosing Names.

If we are to fight for an extension of orr
privileges we shall be obliged to conduct
it along less rigid and natural lines, such.
for instance, as the matter of names. We
might compromise by agreeing that the
generation before us shall infict upon us
such titles as please it; that we shall bear
these for term of five or ten years, as
shall seem best upon due consideration,
and that thereafter we shall take to our
selves an agreeable name as freely as we
are now permitted to take a wife. Our
names are given to Us for better for worse,
for richer, for poorer, and it is quite
possible that they viii have a serious effect
upon our fortunes. Under the new AZ

Objectionable Phrases.

Lady friend and gentleman friend"
are phrases than which there are few
more grating and few more strictly TIA
booed by well spoken people. If you want
to express the facts it must be done inseep-
arate phrases, as Il have a friend, "A Gen
tleman," or "a friend of mine, a LADY," of
course, unless you feel that it is necessary
to state that your friend is lady or gen.
tleman, you can use man or woman"
In fact it has become the practice to use
these titles in preference to the former al
most entirely. The most perfect lady does
not object to being called woman-she
glories in it rather As for the men-well
they are just called men. How ridiculous
it would be if they insisted on being called
gentlemen whenever one spoke of them!
1t would be like Thackeray's valet in
NPendennis," who was ''gentleman's
gentleman. "-Philadelphia Times.
