Modern OratOry.

"OratOry IS by no means q lost art,
but the power to address vast audi
ences properly is exceedingly rare,
said Tyler A. Cowton. Now, an ora
ton hat cannot be heard by an IN
tire audience is worse than labor
wasted. In the golden age OF Gre
clan Oratory speakers addressed en-
tire armies, and, if we are to believe
the historians, did 50 successfully.
They trained their voices for Just
such occasions, and the result was
that they possessed the lungs OF a
StentOrand their thoughts were writ
ten in thunder. One Greek orator,
we are told, used to exercise his
voice on the seacOast during storms
and could make himself understood
at a considerable distance despite the
roar of the wind and the pounding
of the breakers.
1t is a pity that modern orators do
not take like pains to fit themselves
for their labors instead Of popping
up with penny whistle voices and
performing occult pantomines to the
disgust of several thousand people.
The gestures and grimaces of nine
tenths of our modern orators r sc

of woman born car divine their

A Remarkable Operation.
Some months ago a practicing physi-
clan in the upper part of New York
state was thrown from his carriage and
struck upon the left side of his head.
He was able with some assistance to get
home, and soon noticed an entire inabil-
ity to a~rticulate, though still perfectly
conscious.
His mind, in fact, was SO clear that
be motiOned to his wife to get Il book Of
medicines from his shelves, and pointed
out to her a chapter on cerebral hemor-
rhage, thus making the diagnosis of his
own case. He was put i'll bed, and by
morning had become unable to use the
whole right side of his body.
This partial paralysis, or hemiplegia,
gradually improved under treatment, SO
that he was again able to be up and to
some extent hobble about.
After a time, finding his improvement
at a standstill, he went to New York
city to see if anything bould be done for
his relief.
In one of the greatest hospitals there
he was operated upon by one of the
most skillful surgeons. Round pieces
were trephined from the bone of the
skull at the point where, from accurate
calculations, it was estimated that the
trouble would be found. A clot was
found where it had been looked for.
This was removed as thoroughly as pos
sible, and the wound quickly healed.
When last seen by the writer the pa
tient was walking, still with the aid OF
a cane, in the hospital wards, and had
begun to speak some letters and words
which had been taught him by his
wife.
The injury had destroyed his ability
to make the motions of the lips and
muscles necessary to articulation, and
when he had recovered the ability to ar
ticulate it was necessary for him to
learn to talk just as a child does, or as
one learns a foreign language, though
he still retained the power of under
standing all that was said to him.

HOW A FIRE IS FOUGHT.
Interesting Details About the Location
of ENGINES. Lines Of Hasa Etc

Interesting Details About the Location
of Engines, Lines of Hose, Etc.
Chief Swenie is a fire fighting
s%trategist. When his flaming foe in
vites battle he employs all the arts of
war to gain the victory. Sometimes
he begins the battle by massing his
forces at one point and charging
directly upon the enemy. Again he
throws out a skirmish line or shifts
his position so as to take his opponent
upon the flank. If necessary he calls
up his reserves and at times is in CON
slant communication with his chiefs
of battalions and captains Of COM
panies.
There is this difference, however,
between fighting fire and fighting
armies. Commanders of opposing
armies are fully informed of each
others movements days before the
meeting and draw up their plans of
battle accordingly. Not SO with
Chief Swenie. Fires advance under
cover, every move hid from view,
until they ire ready for the fight;
then comes the burst of smoke, the
volley Of flame and the chief is sud
denly called upon to give battle.
Plan and execution with him must
be simultaneous; he must think, and
act while thinking. Yet he has his
| plan Of battle complete in every de-
tail, though it is made up and placed
on paper after the battle has been
fought.
The captain Of every engine com
pany makes a report Of the ire-as
far as his company is concerned-tO
his chief of battalion, to be forwarded
to Chief Swenie. That report gives
the time the alarm was received, the
tireplug to which the engine was
connected, the direction and the lead
of the line of hose and any changes
in the position Of the engine, together
with other information, such as
amount of water pressure secured,
accidents, incidents, etc. All these
data are handed an expert drafts.

If necessary the scene of the fire is

HOW A WE VOTE.

We were at first of the opinion
that the citizens of Great Falls were
not going to run the capital race;
that the we'll thinking people of tina
town were not going to make a syst
ematic fight and would throw their
vote to Helena. We have been in
formed to the contrary, and learn
thae the movement is determined,
with a zeal and fervor to win, and
that instead of being simply a real
estate boom the most conservative of
that city are in sympathy with the
movement and in it to- carry the day.
The people of hat place are sure
they can secure at least a second po-
%sition, and this means the permanent
seat of government i'll two years.
We of Neihart W much to Great
Falls, for her being the source of our
virgin Developments. Our interests
are linked as one town. When
Great Falls prospers, we prosper.
On the other hand, when Great Falls
suffers business depression, we our
selves partake of the same dizziness.
There is our financial home. In
Great Falls live the men and arises
the wealth that is developing this
section of country. And it remains
for us to return that favor we owe,
by casting our votes according to the
best interests of hat city. Vote for

The Expected Alliance.

We predicted long ago that the
peoples party was made up to fitch
a few votes from the republican
party, and thus secure a stronger
democratic vote, since few of the
democrats, who cry for the peoples
party can be hoped to pay their OBJ
legation. Now the editor of the
Miner writes a letter-a letter to
himself-and publishes it as coming
from "Bystander'- lose is
no plainer-and declares that
peoples party interests are one with
democratic interests. Does he mean
that free trade is the laboring mans
friend? Does he mean that the
party which killed silver twice in the
house is the laboring mans friend?
Does he mean that the glutton of
Buzzard's bay, who has always
written against silver is the laboring
mans friend? Does he mean the
democratic party, the parent of sin,
the father of lies, of deceit and
broken promises? The laboring
man whe swallows all this could
swallow CULVER without a sugar
coat.

Hon. HENRY +. BLAKE the re-
publican nominee for chief justice is
a MAJ worthy the support not of the
whole party, but Of the whole peo-
pie. He is a clean cut and well bal

who prides himself in being a man,
and hat is a volume more than can
be said of the demagogue Pember-
ton who is pitted against him.

THERE is one candidate especially
to be recommended to the people of
this county, as being MAI highly
fitted for the position he seeks. 1t
is no other than the Hon. \. r.
Benson of Castle, the republican
nominee for representative. He is a
thoughtful, sagacious leader of
thought, a typical representative of
the people of Meagher county, be
they miner, laborer, capitalist, stock
man, merchant or any other class.
Mr.. Benson has come up through
much toll to the place he now holds
as editor and proprietor of the Cas-
tie Reporter. He is first among his
fellows in Castle and a staunch re-
publican. He knows what it is to
toll, both in prosperity and adversely
and like most newspaper men, al
ways looks on the bright side. We
can not do better than to elect Mr..
Benson and when he is elected we
NAV know that the business of this
county in the Legislature will not be
sighted.

If THE result Of third party move
ment could in anyway influence the
price of silver, we would naturally
look to see those interested who
have silver to sell. But we have
vet to see a mine owner who gives
the movement his support or consld-
Grafton. If he is not interested who
should be? If the owner Of silver
mines is not working on the peoples
platform, surely so far as the silver
question is concerned we see no rea-
son why any one should support it.

The IncOrrigibles.

Lie
The Prison Reform Association has held
the last of it's January conferences. The
subject which was taken up was 1.-The In
corrigibles." Judge Francis Wayland. Dean
of the Yale Law School, presided. In
opening the discussion Judge Wayland said
that it was undeniable that there was a
criminal class that could properly be termed
ncOrrigibles, criminals who by second,
third, and fourth conviction had given war
rant for the belief that they were bent on a
career of crime. From this class society
certainly had right to demand protection.
Sent by court to serve an arbitrary term
in prison, they served that term and were
set at large again without any reformation
having been accomplished and ready to per-
petrate new acts of violence. Ohio. Mass.
achusetts. and other states. the Judge said.
had passed laws which provided that incor-
rigibles should be sentenced to an indefinite
term, to be terminated with death or evil
dence of reformation. Such law as this.
Judge Wayland thought was necessary in
every state. The Rev. DR.. Jackson took
up the theological side of the question, and
declared that every man, criminal or other.
wise, was susceptible to the grace of God
and could be saved. Charles Stewart,
Superintendent of the Industrial Home for
Discharged Convicts. thought the same. as
did other speakers. F. G. Burnham,
| founder of the Industrial Farm for boys;
Israel G. Jones' Director of the House of
Refuge on Randalls Island. and William
NJ. F. Rounds said that they did not believe
| from their experience that thsre was any
such thing as an absolutely incorrigible boy.
Judge Wayland in reply said that the sim.

of professional criminals in every large city,
men who had served more than two terms
in prison. These society had a right to be
protected from, and to bring about that
protection such law as he had spoken of
should be enacted.-N. Y. Times.
