style, length, nature of subject, ETC."
and mo money is required in advance. :"
High-school orations naturally come
cheaper, while political speeches" can
be had for from ten to thirty dollars,
which we should say was high for
the goods, and lectures" range
from ten to fifty dollors, which
seems to US doubtful bargain. Ser
mons" are certainly dirt cheap at fifty
cents to twenty-five dollars, but the in
tending purchaser should note that no
guarantee of originality accompanies
'slow-priced sermons" The advertisers
justly observe that 'honest, conscien-
tious work is the greatest of advertise
ments," and point with pride to the
growth of their business from "a mere
ly local institution to the limits of the
English-speaking world" as proof of
the severe integrity and scrupulous
good faith with which they have car
ried on the career of cheating.

A BIRD THAT DANCES.
Strange Habits of an African Relative of
the Stork.

1t is something like heron or stork,
has a melancholy gait, lives on fish and
frogs, and is considered in Africa bird
of evil omen. 1t is found in Cape Col
ony, some other parts of Africa and in
Madagascar. Under its quiet appear
ance, says Chambers Journal, it nour-
ishes esthetic tastes. When it casts off
its sober demeanor it INDUCES in fam
tastic dance. In state of nature, two
or three join in the dance, skipping
around each other, opening and closing
their wings. They breed on trees or
on rocky lodges, forming huge struc-
ture of sticks.
These nests are SO solid that they will
bear the weight of heavy man on the
domed roof without collapsing. The
entrance is a small hole, placed in the
least accessible side. In a lonely rocky
glen Mr.. Layard once counted half
dozen of their nests, some almost mac
cessibly placed On lodges of rock One
nest contained at least large car load
Of sticks. They occupy the same nest
year after year, repairing it as required.
The female is credited with the joiner
work and the male is the decorator.
On the platform outside the inner por-
ton he spreads out all kinds of objects
Of vertu, brass and bone buttons, bits
Of crockery and bleached bones.
If a knife, pin or finder box were lost
within some miles, the loser made a
point of examining the hanEnerkops
nests. Indeed, were it not that hyenas,
leopards and jackals ranged in their
vicinity, it is highly probable mans
curiosity or resentment would have
often extirpated these interesting
artists, or at least destroyed habits
founded on leisure ard immunity from
persecution.

CURED BY THUNDER.

Speech and Hearing Restored to a Man
Deprived of Both by Dynamite.
John Cornell, an inmate of the city
poor farm at Marshalsea since October,
was released recently, says the Balti-
Connen was insane and deaf His cure
has been effected by a clap of thunder.
Director George Booth, of the depart
ment of charities, and Superintendent
Liedeman, of the farm, vouch for the
truth of the story. One night Cornell
went to his room as usual He had
been acting very queerly and his room
mate was cautioned to keep a watch
over him. About midnight the two
were awakened by the storm which be-
gan that night. The storm was broken
by the tremendous clap of thunder.
The peal had hardly died away when
Cornell sprang from his bed and raised
shout that startled the entire build
ing. Finding that he could shout, the
man began dancing about the room.
He yelled, clapped his hands and sang,
while tears of joy ran down his face.
Up to that hour none in the establish
ment had known his name. Being
dumb he could not give any account OF
himself Now, however, he has given
his name as John Connell, and he says
he was born in Pittsburgh and seven
years ago went west.
Eventually he secured work at
mine owned by California company.
His two brothers obtained work in the
same mine. One day there was ter
rife explosion in the mine and Council
was the only man taken out alive His
two brothers were killed. Connen was
removed to hospital maintained by
the miners union, and, after being I'M
conscious for ninety-six hours, recov-
cred to find his voice gone and his mind
wandering. He was awakened, he
saws, by the clap of thunder, and re-
CARDS his recovery as a miracle. He
says the loss Of his hearing was attrib-
uted by the California doctors to the
explosion of dynamite in the mine

in favor of progress and improvement.
His remarks appeared to create most
favorable impression and were loudly
applauded.
For city assessor and tax collector l..
]. Wood was nominated by E: Grant
Randall, and Frank Kirkland by Lin
coin Fowler. The result of the vote
was Is for Wood and 10 for Kirkland:
Mr.. Wood made brief talk, thanked
the delegates and promised to continue
his good behavior in the office.
| Another 1ncum bent in l. M. Chrlsty
was renominated by Lincoln Fowler.
There was no other nomination 80 that
of Mr.. Christy was made unanimous.
He expressed in few we'll chosen words
his thanks for the expression OF conf
dence and approval.
Thomas D. Malloy was nominated tor
the marshalship by F. J. O'Brien;
William Widmer by ]. B. Lacy; and w..
F. Schaller by E. Grant Randall. The
The result was victory for Widmer,
who received Is, votes to for Malloy
and 2 for Schaller.
Gen. Sampson stepped from the chair
to nominate Thomas A. Jobs to be city
recorder. He was nominated by ac-
clamation, and, being called forward :,
made a very graceful speech. He
thanked the delegates for their selection
and his fellow-newspaper men for their
adherence to his candidacy. He refer
red to the frequency with which the
papetman is called upon to record
and assist in the success of others and
hoped that the act of this convention in
nominating him, a scribe, was the be-
ginning of new and more prosperous
era for mem bers of his profession.
After a short recess the convention
was called to order and Pierce Evans
nominated DR.. D. M. Purman to be
councilman from the First ward. DR..
Purman arose and earnestly requested
that r. J. Handbook be made the
nominee, as he was a gentleman in
every way qualified for the Office. A
vote was taken and it was found that
the convention was unanimously IN
favor of DIR. Purman.
J. B. Lacy presented Frank Peck's
name to be councilman from the Thiro
ward. His nomination was also made
unanimous.
Mem bers of the city central commit
tee were then selected as follows: FRS
ward, W. H. Killings and H. Goodman
Second ward, F. ]. O'Brien and G. M
Sturgls; Third ward, ]. W. Bolton ant
R. G. Lowell; Fourth ward, Lincoln
Fowler and j. L. Cant.
Chairman Sampson appointed DR.. L
H. Goodrich to be city committeeman
at large.
The platform of the convention wa
then read by the secretary. By it al
the candidates are pledged each to d.
all in his power in the direction of re
form, progress and improvement il
city affairs.
Gen. Sampson made a model pre-
siding officer, introducing each candi
date as he was nominated in a happ,
manner and otherwise gracefully ant
felicitously performing the duties of tn
honorary position.

ORATIONS MADE TO ORDER.
An Ohio Firm Ready to Supply All Sorts
of Speakers at Low Rates.

The decay of college oratory and
essay writing is even more inexcusable
than we had supposed, says the New
York Post. 1t is, of course, unreasona-
bic to expect students whose first duty
is to athletics to do high-grade literary
work in the intervals of training, but it
is exactly to meet the wants of ''busy
students" and of the man who, ''as the
victim Of circumstance" is forced to
perform literary labors for which he
has neither time nor adaptability'' that
an Chic firm has been founded and is
now IN business. A recent circular Of
theirs IS before US in which they make
clear that original orations" are with
in the reach Of the humblest football
Arizona republican., 1895-04-18

Two young Buffalo schoolgirls were
talking about their future, says the
Courier of that city, when one of them
said that she did not care to be a school
teacher, as she preferred to teach mu-
sic. She said that her sisters, though,
were going to be school-teachers. ''They
can be teachers just as easy as can be, .
said she, because my papa and my
grandpa know all the politics." The
little girl probably meant politicians.
when she said politics, but her idea
was practical one.
