The Art Of Conversation No Longer
Understood i'm English Society.
Another thing which has gone out of
fashion is the art of conversation, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. 1t has of late years
been so neglected that it Is the rarest
chance to meet with young man who
can converse at all in the real sense of the
word Among his own set he can babble
about mutual acquaintance, the new
singer. the next race or the latest scandal
But throw him among strangers and he is
silent and dull. perhaps making short re-
marks in a jerky and confused manner,
but certainly betraying no intelligent IN
terest ii new discovery be mentioned, a
piece of important political news told or
some information given about a subject of
only bored, but he shows 1t, because he has
never cultivated that polite interest in, his
fellow creatures which would enable him
to respond sympathetically. One of the
old French nobiesSe was lately heard to re-
mark that when he first went INTO society
that at a party he was bound to insure its
success 50 far as he was individually con-
cerned. To make himself agreeable was a
duty not to be neglected without grave
preach Of courtesy, both to the guests and
the friends who invited him. In a modern
gathering no such antiquated sentiment
would find a disciple. Young people, il they
do not meet some one to fiirt with, will os-
tentatiously proclaim their boredom, and
would stare in establishment IL it were sug-
gested that at frined's house it was the
duty toward the hostess to pay attention
to those who seem neglected. or who found
themselves among strangers. To hint that
old ladies and ugly girls should have a little
share OF consideration would be to subject
ones self to the charge Of being old-fash-
Toned.

DEMAND FOR ACTION
On the Financial Question, but the
House fs Divided.

The democrats are still at sea as to the
provision for the deficiency in the funds
OF the treasury. Carlisle is urging on Con-
gress the necessity of some action which
will supply the treasury with money imme-
diately available. and pointing out to them
the danger from the steady draft upon the
gold reserve fund. The necessity for ac-
ton is universally appreciated in Congress,
but there is no harmony of opinion as to
how the question is to be dealt with and
what is worse there is little promise o.
agree ment on anything.
The silver men are ready to fight any
proposition for bond issue and the propo-
sltion to combine the bond issue with the
coinage of the seigniorage does not appeal
to be satisfactory to either the silver or
anti-silver men. The Senate finance COM
mittee Is devoting considerable attention to
the matter without having yet evolved any
thing which promises to meet the approval
or both Houses. and the House committee
on banking and currency is divided and in
such bad humor over the state bank tax
repeal bill that there is not a spirit there
which promises fair for action on any ques-
tion Meanwhile the deficiency is growing
larger and the urgency of the demand for
action more pronounced.

Theories About Protection From Cola

The principal conclusions to be drawn
from the foregoing paragraph may be thus
briefly stated:
1. As protection against cold, wooden
garments OF equal thickness are much SUI

always be worn for underclothing. Furs
and leather are serviceable against great
cold. and especially against severe wind.
Waterproof clothing should be reserved for

Trials of ArmOr Plate at the Indian
Head Station.

Head station.
A test held at the Indian Head proving
station yesterday demonstrated that an
armor plate of nickel steel varying in
thickness from eleven and one-half inches
to fourteen inches cannot stand successfully
the impact of a Hotter projectile with a
velocity Of LOO feet per second, thrown
from an eight-inch rifle. Yesterdays trials
Of armor for two of the monitors and the
ram Katahdin at Bath. Me-, were the first
instance in the history Of the new navy
where the plates have made such a poor
showing against high-powered guns. The
plate tried represented several lots of armor
for the batteries of the Monadnock, the
side armor Of the Puritan, and the coming
tower of the Katahdin, in all about 5OU
tons Had the trials been successful they
would have been the last OF plain nickel
steel plates without the Harveyized process.
as all armOr now being manufactured will
be treated with the hardening liquid. Two
shots were fired at the plate, the first to
decide whether Carnegie & Co. would Sc
cure a premium, and the second for the
acceptance of the armor. Both tests were
unsatisfactory. and unless another plate.
which will probably be given trial, shows
up better, the entire lot will be rejected
by the government. The first shot, with q
velocity Of 1851 feet seconds, struck the
plate sQuarely and rebounded. smashed to
pieces. The plate was cracked entirely
through and showed severe treatment The
result of this shot settled the question of a
premium. The second shot, with a reduced
velocity, knocked an end of the plate off,
opened wide the cracks and exposed the
heavy oaken backing. The effect Of this
shot was to entirely wreck the plate. OFF,
GERS of the ordnance department cannot ac-
count for the poor showing of the plate.
Another trial will be held Of a second plate
next week Should this also prove to be
inferior. the whole 500 tons of armor will
be thrown out by the government. The re-
suit would be to greatly delay completion of
the two monitors and the ram. Heretofore,
the trials Of all armor have been most salts
factory, and have shown that this country
can manufacture plates far superior to
those on foreign naval ships.
A test will also be had at the proving sta
ton OF cast-steel projectile for great guns.
This projectile can be manufactured cheaper
than the cast steel ones, and II the tests
are satisfactory they will no doubt be used
hereafter in the service.

CAPITOL TOPICS.
Shortage AM Witness Fees,


According to communication laid before
the House there is deficiency of $4,000
in sight in the appropriation for fees of wit
nesses in United States courts for this fiscal
year. The House is asked to take immedi-
ate action on the estimate for the reason
that the regular appropriation for the pay
ment of witness fees is practically ex-
hausted.
United States Cases in the Indian Ter
ritOry.
Attorney General Olney has sent to the
House a number of recommendations re-
ceived by him from the United States at
torney for the Indian territory relative to
the trying of misdemeanors in the territory.
The propriety is suggested Of having the
government represented before the commits
sioner IL he Is given final jurisdiction in the
misdemeanor cases. and 1t is urged that 1t
would be great saving In witness ices II

defendants at such times as they are first

They Want n Building.
A delegation composed of w. G. Fenner,
Judge VanCleve, l.. A Pioget Sheriff
Rochester and A. M. Demarest of Pater-
son, N. j., appeared before the House COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds to-
day in support Of the bill introduced in the
House by Representative Cadmus increas-
ing from $4,000 TO $25OOOO the appropria-
ton for the Paterson public building.
The original $50. OOO--was
made several years ago, but the building
has never been commenced. The site for
the structure cost about $23,0OO, and the
balance, the citizens of Paterson think, is
insufficient for the erection of a public
building for a city as large as theirs. The
committee took no action.

ton Of Mr.. Holman directing the Secretary

ments for increase of speed in naval vessels.
