THE LONGEST SPEECH.

A. Twenty-six Hour Effort to XIII am
Objectionable BILL
ST was recently introd uced," said
Albert Fl. Steele, of Portland, Ore,
'fto legislator who, I believe, has
the record for making the longest
continuous speech ever delivered. He
is a member of the legislature of
British Columbia. in which there is no
such thing as senatorial courtesy, so
that long speaker cannot get few
minutes rest for refreshments, as he
generally can in the upper house of
this country. The record breaker,
who is of French descent, is an old
college athlete. and on one occasion
last session he was put up by the OPP
position to talk a bill to death.
THE ajority saw through the de-
vice at once and put every obstacle in
the way of the speaker. Not de-
TERED by objections and points of
order, the old athlete husbanded his
strength and spoke steadily, without
any longer pauses than were nee
essary to moisten his parched throat
with an occasional innocent drink,
twice around the clock. He started
at 10 o'clock in the morning. kept
steadily at his work all the afternoon,
evening and night, and did not even
pause when the lights were turned
out the following morning. Eye wit
nesses tell me that as the morning
wore on his voice was little more
than a whisper and his eyes were
bloodshot. He bore up manfully,
however, and did not sit down until
the clock struck IL, when the bill be-
came dead by lapse of time. and he
secured respite which was well
earned, even if his cause was not a
very noble one. He speaks of his
twenty-six hour effort with a shudder,
and says he would rather walk 100
miles than go through the ordeal

CURE OF INEBRIETY.

Oranges Said to BE Very Effective Gn
Creating a DIstaste for Alcohol
1t is now universally acknowledged
by competent auth critics that ine-
briefly is disease, physical as well as
mental and moral, and to give the
pledge of total abstinence to the in
veterate drunkard without specific in
structions what to do next, and ex-
pect him to keep it, is to look for
stupendous effort which only the man
with sound mental energy and bodily
vigor can perform. An expert writ
ing on this subject says that the first
step in the progress of true temper
a4ce reform must be the recognition
of the fact that the irresistible crav-
ing for strong drink is the effect of
causes which must be got rid of before
the drunkard can be regarded as safe
from temptation. The various patent
remedies can in no sense be regarded
as cure, for the only cure in the real
sense of the word is to get the whole
man into better condition, his body
purified, and his will strengthened.
Diet is of extreme Importance, and if
skillfully directed will wean away the
craving naturally and without danger
to the individual. All sailed and
heavy food stuffs should be avoided.
To cultivate a distaste for alcohol
oranges are more effective than all
most anything else known They
should be taken, one at a time, before
breakfast, at IL a. M, at l p. m.,i at Q
p. M, at p M, and the last thing ON
retiring. Apples and lemon juice are
also excellent.

Popes and Their Boards.

If we are to believe the old proverb,
prophets have always had boards for
the faithful to swear by; not so with
the popes. From the time of st.
Peter down to the year 1883 the popes
all wore full boards, but for the next
four centuries they were cleanly

centuries in which they again wore

but it was something more than the
mere beauty of his models face that
caused his heart to beat so rapturous-
1y. oh, how he loved her! but she,
poor girl, sitting SO YEARLY in dis
tant corner, did not dream of what
was passing in his mind.
Suddenly he turned his eyes in her
direction and look of astonishment
crossed his handsome face. Could it
be possible that those were the feat
ures which he had so cleverly por-
trayed upon the canvas?
There were flashes of fire in the
sweet blue eyes now and the delicate
mouth was curved in an expression of
bitterness that he had never seen be-
fore. He was amazed at the sudden
revelation, for in all his weeks upon
the picture he had never seen that
strangely bitter expression upon her
face before.
He crossed the room and spoke to her
pleasantly, even tenderly, and was in
tensely relieved to see the bitterness
partially disappear before the tender
ness of his manner.
''You are very tired, Vio1etta,' - he
said gently, ''and I am very sorry!
But the picture is beautiful Ex-
quisite!''

sprang from her chair and ran hastily
across the floor. HE loves his pic
ture but not me- she muttered as
she left the room, Fool that am to
think that he would care for mel He
is bound body and soul to his art.
What is the pretty face of a woman to
him but a model for his wonderful
creatiOns?"
After she had gone, Lawrence Mer-
edith stood a moment in thought,
then lighted a cigar and drew the
chair before the easel He was an
honora BILE fellow and he knew he was
too poor to marry. He determined at
once that he would never speak one
word of love to Violetta until he was
fully able to lead her to the altar and
give her, at least, a comfortable home.
He felt that she was learning to love
him. and although it was hard to see
her daily and not speak of what was
in his heart, he was, in a measure,
content when he thought of the bliss
him for his hours of self-denial.
For he had decided from the first
that this picture of Violetta should
bring him fame and fortune. He
would not sell it, of course, but the
picture should be sent to the National
academy's exhibition, and if it was a
success, the orders that he would re-
ceive would start him in a lucra tive
profession. Now that the picture
was finished, he was almost happy.
It was only that momentary express
sion upon his models face that
brought shadow to his own. What
could it mean? Was Violetta un-
happy? Had she any tormenting Sc
cret, or was it the pain of parting
with him that had distorted her face
with such sudden bitterness?
Then it occurred to him that he had
not even bade her good night and
this was the last of her daily sittings-

announcement Is made on excellent au-

most highly. The other two were Father
Trobec, of st. Paul. and Father Able

Father Koebert Is said to be In har-

AT the same time satisfactory to the
Benedictine Fathers, who are strong in
the st. Cloud diocese.

MAN Of MANY JUDGMENTS.
Wood Says schwab Told HIM lie

A motion to vacate an order of arrest
in'the case of ID. Elmer Wood against
Nathan Schwab was made to-day in
the City Court before Judge Var Wyck.
Schwab was arrested May "a, 1891, at
the instance of Wood. who charged him
with cheating him out of $50, by getting
him to put in a lot of glass in a house
ut Seventh avenue m One Hundred
and Twenty-fourth street In December
last. and telling Wood that he was the
owner OF the Prescott House, at Broad
way and Spring street, and therefore
was perfectly responsible.
Wood could not collect his bill. ana
learned that SchWab was not the owner
of the Prescott House. Fourteen judg-
ments, all unsatished, were found on
the court records against Schwab.
IL was urged that the a%ffidavits on
which he was arrested were defective.
