dozen labor leaders were returned. There

ABOUT ORATORS And ORATORY
Colonel Ingersoll Talks of an Art
of Which he is a Master.
0RATORY IS THE OUTCOME OF GENIUS.
Practice May Give Confidence, but the
orator Like the Poet is BGrn-CicerO
the Greatest of the AncientS-
Some Modern Orators Ar
Cannot Die While People
Love EarnestneSS, Truth
and Beauty.

S~If talk about orators and oratory at ALL
said Colonel Ingerso, sit is with the distinct
understanding that I shall not be brought
into the subject in any way
Approaching the situation, / gladly agreed
to this. Like many others 1 had been
charmed by Colonel Insersolfs eloquence,
even when l could not fall in with his methods
of reasoning and l knew no man could have
won such position as public speaker who
had not carefully studied the lines of the men
whom the world has long regarded as masters
of the art of persuasion.
Leaning back in his chair. with his eyes up
raised TO the ceiling and his feet crossed on
chair in front, Colonel Ingersoll went on to
give the generally received definition of ora
tory as the art of public speaking. Oratory
was not more potent before the days of print
ng than now for in proportion to the
population there were not so many public
speakers, but it was the only direct way
of communicating with the masses oratory
appeared to have more power
When oratory was studied more in the
great schools than at present, it,wds divided
into two great branches, preparation and
delivery. The former had to do with style
and rhetorical excellence, and was a matter
for the study, the latter aimed at an effective
action and delivery. The art eliminates in
persuasive, overpowering eloquence. The
ancient rhetoricians distinguished eloquence
as either demonstrative deliberative or
judicial The moderns, looking to the arenas
for its employment, divide it into that of the
senate, the bar, the pulpit and the platform;
we might add to this that species of oratory
peculiar to the English speaking people, who
settle so many great questions after dinner,
and which is known as "post prandial.'
''You ask me for definition of oratory,
but it is impossible to give an exact definition
to IL thing which itself is untranmeled by
rules, SO 1 must rather describe it, as 1 think
it is The Colonel withdrew his extinguished
cigar from his lips, and with his eyes still on
the ceiling, and with all the rich charm that
distinguishes his voice on the platform con-
inued: ''Oratory is the perfection of thought
and eXpression--oflogic, of personal presence,
Of voice, and gesture. The great orator ideal

Spain has still few colonies left and they
are proving to be thorns in her side. No
sooner has she settled with the Riffians in
North Africa, than the Malays of Altar, one
of her possessions in the Malay Archipelago
rise in revolt, and 200 of them are slain.
The Spaniards have not been successful
colonizers, and it would be much needed

their colonies and tried to make things more

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. - Unless all

This will be one of the times when the

Senator Smith has declared his inten-
ton to vote for free sugar, and Senator
Brice will do as the administration de-

believed, broken the back of the trust

IT STARTS FROM SHAVINGS.
The Conflagration Is Confined
to the Engine Room Of
the Concern.
LOSS AMOUNTS TO $4,000.
A Four-Eleven Alarm Sent In
THE Work Of the De-
partment.

The Bohn Manufacturing company's
plant came near gong up in smoke at
an early hour this morning. AS it was
the fire damaged the property to
the extent of about $1,000.
Fortunately the factory was in opera
tion at the time, and the fire was discOv-
cred before it had gained much head
way. Fifteen minutes later general
alarm was turned in. and soon there
were five engine companies, two hook
and ladder trucks and two supply
wagons on the ground.
The fire started in the boiler room of
the engine house, which is detached
brick building. Night Watchman Die
trich Bohn was the first to dis
cover the fire. At 1920 a. M.
when the night watchman entered
the boiler room, no one was
there, the night fireman having gone
into the engine room to eat lunch. The
moment Night Watchman Bohn stepped
inside the boiler room he saw sheets of
flames curling up the shutes leading to
the fuel room above. Bohn promptly sent
In an alarm through an A. d. T. box.
1t came in at 1928. A regular alarm
from fire box 23l, at the corner of Sew
enth and Mendoza streets, was turned
in at 1926; the two~eleven came in
from box 235, at Arcade and York, at
1888, and the general alarm at 12:42.
The fire department responded
promptly, and by its efficient service
saved from destruction the largest
manufacturing plant in the city of st.
Paul, if not the largest in the state.
The principal damage was effected in
the fuel room, just above the boiler
room, and also in the drying room and
glue room adjoining the fuel room. A
considerable amount of green lumber
deposited in the drying room was de-
stroyed, and the partitions and walls
were badly bnrned.
While the department was fighting
the fire In the engine house streams of
water were thrown against the factory
buildings, which escaped further dam
age.
Gebhard Bohn, the president of the
company, SAID last night the entire
plant was covered by $500. 1000 worth of
insurance. The value of the engine
house, building and its contents Mr.. Bohn
estimated at $4,000, and the damage he
thought would not exceed $4,000. The
damage will soon be repaired, and work
will be resumed at once. Mr.. Bohn
says that the factory is doing an i'm
menSe business-larger than usual at
this time of year.
The fire is believed to have originated
from the igtiiting of some shavings
lying on the floor near the boilers.
