Power of Hallucination.

The remarkable spectacle of a senator OF
the United States in tears upon the floor OF
the Senate was observed by a Washington
Post writer when Senator Teller. Of Colorado
having been drawn into a discussion with
Senator HawleY, began to dwell upon the
sufferlngs which would fall upon the people of
his section and of the United States should
the repeal bill become law.
AS he proceeded he became more
wrought up to a pitch Of
intensity unlike ed any thing ever
seen on the floor. He paced up and down
the narrow space behind his desk earnestly
gesticulating, willis with a voice tremulous
with emotion and his eyes wet with tears, he
pictured the misery that he saw in the future
for the people whom he loved.
The spectacle was so striking and so unus-
ual that it riveted the attention of every SEN
atOr. The words poured from Mr.. Teller
lips in passionate torrent, so carried away
was he with his theme, and when, with
Cltncbed fist he denounced the "damnable
bill the galleries burst forth with applause
With all this there was nothing theatrical
about the scene. MI Teller is so sincere, so
honest, and so hostile to any form of trickery
that every senator felt he believed every
word he uttered, and respected the intensity
of the feeling which made him give way to
his emotions. When he had concluded he
sank into his seat. buried his face in his
hands, and presented living picture OF the
misery which he had so touchingly described

Was Not Indiapensable.

He is in the employ OF one of the largest
manufacturing firms in the city and is also a
nephew Of the senior partner, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. Some time ago he left on Fri
day evening to stay over Sunday at a summer
resort which is quite near here. When he ar
rived he found, as he expected, the girls very,
very attractive, and late Saturday afternoon
decided that he could not tear himself away
on Sunday, so he telegraphed his immediate
boss as follows:
DO you need me? If not I shall stay
The telegram was Of course received but
no attention was paid to it, and the sender
thinking something wrong, reported at the
office bright and early Monday morning
Finding everything all right and nothing be
ing said about the telegram, he Immediately
kicked himself for coming home. For several
hours he worked along with poor grace. Fin.
ally, word was brought to him that his uncle
wanted to see him, and Quaking with fear
he obeyed the summons. When he entered
the old gentleman sanctum he was invited
TO SIT down and to make himself quite com
Portable. After rummaginR through some
papers, which were on his desk uncle dear
took from them a piece of yellow paper;
turning around he looked his nephew straight
In the eyes and said
MY boy. this telegram was received by the
head Of your department Saturday afternoon
II reads, Do You need me? If not, l shall
stay and is signed with your name. Did
you send it?'
Yes, uncle" came the answer meekly.
You did! Then, let me tell you sir" and
the atmosphere became suddenly chilled,
that have been here for over forty years
and they don't need me"
The telegram was laid down, and the head
OF the establishment picked up pen and be-
gan writing. Nephew knew that the inter
view was over. Just as he was going through
the door he heard his uncle mUtter: do they
need me:r

The silver senators do not seem to care
how much injury they inhict upon the
country. They prefer apparently that

factories sIRt down and thousands Of
working people starve rather than
retreat from the position they have taken.
Being senators, they think they have a
better knowledge Of what the country
needs than the people Tho appeals Of
business men in all parts of the country
have very little influence with them.
Without knowing anything about business

surely there ought to be some
way TO overcome the obstruc-
ton which they place in the way of
repeal If they believe in permitting the
majority to rule they ought to be re
quired to live up to that belief At pres
ent they are virtually saying that the mi
uority shall rule.
In the revival of business which has
taken place since the bill repeating the
sherman silver law passed the House,they
pretend TO find proof that thatlaw did MOI
cause the panic. If 1t did not, why was
there such prompt revival of confidence
and prosperity as soon as it became rea-
sonably certain that the law would be re
pealed! If that law was not the cause Of
the panic, what was the cause of it, No
other accepted cause has been pointed
out and removed. The conclusion, there
fore, is that the panic is the direct result
of the Sherman silver law.
If it should become apparent that the
Sherman silver law would not be repealed
it is quite certain that the panic, which
has about subsidized, would show itself
again, and would do a very much greater
amount Of damage to the business and in
dustrial interests than it did a few weeks
ago.
The people want the Sherman silver
law repealed Internationally, and at
once. After that is done they will be
willing to consider the question of what
shall be done with silver, but they do not
want the repeal bill loaded down with
amendments providing for free silver
coinage at ratio that would make silver
money dishenest money

The Woman Who Dared.

A story is going the rounds about a little
woman who, the other night, was seated al
the theater behind a gorgeously dressed
beauty whose balloon sleeves completely
hid the stage from the victim in the rear
She sat first on one foot and then the other

a glimpse Of the play could she get
After whispered conversation with her
husband came the tragedy.
Without word of warning that wee Bit
of woman quietly rose gently but firmly laid
her hands upon the winged shoulders OF hei
obstrusive neighbOr and pressed her green
and violet rufttes as far down as they would
go. People who saw the operation gasped al
the transformation. The victim easily &C
copied the situation and remained in sub
lection until the end of the play.

Train Robberies.

The frequency and ease with which
trains are held up and robbed present
aquestion in which not only the express
companies but the whole country is pro
foundly interested. Only day or two
ago our dispatches contained an account
of the robbing of a train on the Lake
Shore road between Chicago and Cleve-
land by twenty masked men. A danger
signal was displayed, the train was
stopped, the engineer was wounded and
intimidated and the express car was
blown to pieces with dynamite. The
number of the robbers was so great that
the trainmen could not offer successful
resistance. The robbers expected to get
. very large sum OF money, but
were disappointed.
In our dispatches this morning there is
an account of another train robbery in
which'the robbers got $4,000.
The ease with which the train robbers
elude capture encourages train rob
bling. 1t is evident that the frequency of
such robberies will increase if something
more effective is not done to hunt down
the robbers. II is only once in a great
while that train robber is caught or
killed. AS rule they escape And it is
not a difficult matter for them to do so.
They ''hold G up" train in an out-of-
the way place, and before the authorities
can be summoned and the posse collected
they have disappeared as completely as
if they had never been within a hundred
miles Of the scene of their crime.
1t is a difficult matter to say what
should be done. Express companies
could hardly afford to send a half dozen
armed men on every train by which they
ship valuable packages. They will have to
do something, however, for their own pro
lection. Unless they do their losses will
eat big hole in their profits
These train robberies are giving us a
bad reputation abroad. 1t is said a great
many Europeans have refused to visit the
worlds fair because they are afraid they
would be robbed between New York and
Chicago. The European newspapers
have given them an exaggerated idea OF
the dangers and losses attending the
"holding-up" of trains by robbers.

Thus spoke Davis a. Waite, governor

The speech is worth no more notice than

stances attending It's delivery were elo-

the conference one Of the greatest of the
worlds fair gatherings. They intended
to hold such a demonstration that the
covering capitalists would be frightened

in their desperation, crawl into small
holes End pull the holes in after them.

1t transpires that the story of that
Pittsburg conspiracy against the lives of
the President and Secretary of the In
terror had as its basis a crank letter
written to an old soldier. The old sol
der thought it was joke, but a very
poor one, and sent the letter to Capt.
skinner, the pension agent at Pittsburg.
Capt. Skinner had only been in Office two
days when the letter came to him. He
was frightened nearly out Of his wits He
was sure that he had straight tip" on
an awful conspiracy and that it was his
duty to sound the loud alarm at once, so
he sent the letter to Secretary Smith.
When the terrifying missive was well
out of town Capt. Skinner beckOned the
newspaper men into a dark corner and
related to them in tragic whispers what
had occurred The fate of the letter af-
ter it left Pittsburg has not been learned.
1t is likely, however, that Secretary
Smith glanced at it and tossed it into the
waste basket along with the other trash
of the kind that finds its way to the ex-
ecutive offices nearly every day.
