The right way to learn to read aloud
or to speak well is to fix in the mind in
the ~clearest way the meaning of what
is to be read or spoken, Then attempt
to express by the voice that meaning,
and to express it distinctly, down to the
least shade. This will give a better in
Election and emphasis than any rules
can do.

rHREArRNED WITH DISRUPTION.

| The tsupper ten OF Corvallis society have
serious question before them and a qres-
tion that threatens the division of certain
Hundreds and the formation of the elite
along new lines. There are several Sladies
social clubs that meet in the afternoons,
and, as in all social organizations, they con-
tain both the progressive, or liberal, and
the conservative kinds of meml ers. One of
the clubs WAS recently sstef:afne@ by one
of the progressive members who has
politan ideas. and who is an atimirrr OF Rus
sian social ways. In fact Russian society
is cards and. spades above 'the swim" of any
other country: still it has its sins. and one
of them is the cigarette. The Russian
ladies love TO take social draw OCCASION

around dainty cigarettes, ard many of l.er
guests indnlged i'll several whiffs. But con.

all the more exasperating to the cons.
Some say that it is really tempest i'll tea

simply as an humorous satire on the mascu-

NoRroN,s PETITION DENIED.

Ever since old soldier Impson was granted
pension and received his back pay, Blod-
! gett valley has bsen discussing his ability to
maintain his grip on the newly acquired
wealth. Impson. it will be remembered is
the pauper who was and is badly affected
that another ex-pauper, one Huffman, who
has been taking care of Impson for his living
was only doing so with an Ultimate view of
getting away with the old soldiers money.
Last Saturday was the time appointed by
the county court to hear Isaac Norton's petit
tion to have a guardian appointed for Imp
sou. The evidence showed that, while
Impson was very eccentric, his mind was
otherwise all straight. The principal act of
{extravagance was his desire to purchase a
team for SITS, which was worth but little
over $l00, and for which he apparently had
little need. The court did not consider the
evidence sufficient to warrant the appoint
ment of guardian, and denied the petition.
When Impson first received his money, he
placed it in Norton hands for safe keeping,
which was agreeable to him until he came
under Huffman's influence The action
looking to the appointment of guardian
was taken on the part of Ellsworth POST,

NOT YEr.APPoINrED.

A new Office was created by the last legis.
lature, and salary prescribed for him. but
there was no appropriation made either in
the act creating the Office, or in the general
appropriation bill, from which his can be
paid. Reference is had to the agent for the
selection of lieu lands, s,lcontemplated in house
bill No. "a, introduced by Representative
Daily. The bill provides for tho appoint
nlent, by the governor, of an agent at sal,
ary of $1,000 per anuum, together with
reasonable travelling expenses, but it fails to
appropriate tho necessary "spondulix" as is
the usual custom. Under the circumstances
whoever is appointed will be compelled to
wait until the next session of the legislature
for an appropri alton with which to pay the
warrants, or else discount them at the
banks. Owing to the oversight of the legis
lature in this matter, it is thought by some
that tho governor will not make the appoint
ment at this time. This bill was probably
the most important one to the state in gen.
eral that was introduced at the last session,
and to Representative Daily is due the sole
credit for Its successful passage through both
houses. Mr.. Daily proved himself an eff
clent and able worker, and during the ses-
sion was one Of the busiest members about
the capitol. He served on six important
committees, and when not employed in he
committee room, was rarely out of his seat.
No measure, however unimportant, was con-
sidered by the house, that had not received
his careful perusil. In general, Mr. Daly's
legislative acts can be heartily commended.
While it is true that in some respects his
policy was not in accord with the ideas of
the GAZETTE, nevertheless, he proved an
able and painstaking legislator and withal
his course was such as will meet with appro-
val, especially from his constituents in Lin
coin county, who ale deserving of congratu
lation for the wisdom displayed by them in
making such fortunate selection.

eclipse and the darkness which it brought
IN the heavens to conduct a search for the

Owing, however, to the comet being very

ton as to its whereabouts, together with

One Citizens Experience.
Mr.. D. R. Goodloe has written the fol-
lowing statement to The Star:
Il awoke last night after l o'clock. and
recollecting the eclipse 1 went to the WIN
dow. The sky was clear The stars shone
brightly, but the moon, though visible in
its whole round form, had a muddy, reddish
color such as it is seen to have when near
hazy horizon. l was disappointed. l ex-
pected to see 1t wear darker hue l could
see that it had passed the middle of the
eclipse, since it was much brighter on its
eastern edge than on the western The
bright part was below the middle of the
east side and the dark part above the mid
die of the west side, but gradually the
light rose up and the dark part dropped
down, so that when the shadow began TO
go OFF 1t was near the top that the face of
the moon began to show itself.
a 70 lr,1ln
was upon the moon three hours and fifty
two minutes, while the total eclipse lasted
one hour and forty-one minutes; so that
there was a margin of shadow at the mo-
ment of the middle of the totality almost
as wide all round as the diameter of the
moon. The astronomers tell us that the
diameter of the moon is something more
than fourth of that of the EARTH and it
would thus appear that the shadow of the
earth is no broader at the distance of the
moon from the earth than the diameter of
the earth is long. So it seems to the I'M
scientific mind.
Another discovery l made which left
no doubt on my mind, namely, that my left
eye is stronger than my right. Both have
been in use great many years: but why
the right eye has suffered more from hard
usage than its fellow l don't know Two
half-fedged young ROSTERS fattered them
selves that they had made a discovery also,
when the shadow began to leave the upper
rim of the moon. They mistool ii for day

of electric motors by the Baltimore and
Ohio Company for the tunnel service is
most interesting, and likely also to be in
structive. 1t is only proper to say, now
ever, that the action of this company in
selecting electricity for this service was
not prompted by considerations of economy
but was due to the fact that with the smoke
and gas from ordinary engines the tunnel
could not have been properly ventilated.
This tunnel is the longest soft-earth tun-
mel in the world, as it Is nearly mile
and half from portal to portal. The ap-
proaches make the distance on which the
electric motors are used three miles. When
the railroad company had concluded that
good ventilation could only be secured by
the adoption of electric motors. a contract
was entered into with the General Electric
Company for three locomotives, the Cen
eral Electric Company guaranteeing that
these locomotives would do the work salts
factorily.
In speaking of the successful tests on
this tunnel line by means of the first of
the locomotives delivered by the General
Electric Company, DR.. Duncan president
OF the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers, recently said: There are in the

operation is anything but satisfactory at

ST. LUKE'S CHURCH.

Vacant RectorshiP.


Vacant Rectorship.
The ST. Luke's Protestant Episcopal
Church, which has been undergoing repairs
since last December, has heen reopened.
The congregation has been worshipng in
Parish Hall while the church was being
remodeled, but have now returned home.
Many improvements have been made in
the church edifice. The rear wall has been
taken down and rebuilt, under the direction
of Building Inspector Brady. The chancel
has been lowered about two feet and has
been handsomely ornamented. The rector S
room has been placed on the west side
and the organ has been built on the south
side of the church. The vestibule has been
enlarged and takes in the whole width of
the building. The steps leading from the
church to the parish hall have also been
lowered and are now on a level with the
church building. Since the retirement of
nr. Alexander Crummell from the rector
ship of the church-which position he held
for a quarter of a century-Rev. DR. Barr,
who was designated by Bishop Paret has
been officiating. Easter Monday the veStry
of the church extended to DR.. William V.
Tunnel professor of English literature in
Howard University and rector of King S
Hall Chapel, a call to the rectorship, and
since then he has been officiating for the
congrega ton. DR.. Tunnel has not ac-
cepted the call extended him, though the
efforts to have him accept. Dr. Tunnel
was for many years rector of the St Au-
81 slime p. E. Church of Brooklyn, n. Y,
and resigned from the rectorship to accept
of the chair of English literature in How
ard University. If DR.. Tunnel CONCLUDES
to accept, the church will have the serv-
ices of one of the most scholarly and en-
inent divincs of the colored race.

RAILWAY SPEED RECORD.
The English Train That Made 1t Con-
sisted of Only Three Coaches.

The railway racing from London to Aber-
deem closed with the contest of August %.
The record rests with the West Coast
Gondon and Northwestern road-540
miles in 80 minutes eight hours, thirty
two minutes) as described recently in The
Star The train was reduced to three car
riages only, each forty-two feet long, and
Perth was omitted stopping place.
The trains on the rival roads are now max
Ing the trip in ten and a half to eleven
hours. and are composed of from ten to
twelve coaches.
In summing up the results of the speed
trials. the London Telegraph says:
CAS- far as the matter affects the general
community, it is not question of mere
racing and record-beating, but of what
maximum of speed ought, under normal
conditions, to be attained over the various
systems throughout the country, and to
what extent such a speed ought to become
general. on this subject, wholly apart from
the principles and side issues involved in
the recent feats of racing representa-
tive sought interview with a prominent
official connected with the Great North
ern service-a gentleman whose experience
of many years and high position m the
railway world entitle him to speak with
authority on such matters.
"In order that the question in all it's de-
tails may be thoroughly understood it will
be "a well to give expression to his views
regarding the various aspects of the sub
ject called into consideration by recent
events. Thus, first and foremost, there
arose the question of the safety of the
public and the company's servants, and
in this connection the following observa-
lions We're made:
a. None of the trains, either on the East
Great Northcrn) or the West coast Oon-
don and Northwestern are running at a
higher speed than are many of the daily
expresses. We very frequently run over
certain portions of the line at between
sixty and seventy miles per hour daily,
whereas the scheme of these trains is to
do between ffty-eight and siXty-tWo an
hour over the whole journey This is ac-
complishei by tightening the trains, so
that they may proceed up hill as fast as
they can down, and by reducing the num-
Der Of stations at which a stop is made.
1t is principally a matter Of reducing
the weight of the train. An ordinary one
on the Scotch route consists of from ten
to fourteen vehicles. The racing trains
on the other hand are limited to six or at
the outside eight coaches, so that the en-
CINE has practically half the weight to
haul that it has in ordinary circumstances
rms enables it to 90 Up inclines at prac-
tlcally the same speed that it runs down
them when carrying the load of an ordi-
nary train. In fact, a level pace Is at
tanned during the whole of the journey"
