 Mir. Cannon of Illinois, who also is a candidate for this chairmanship, was chairman of the committee during the Fifty-frs congress and is also familiar with the question of appropriations, but he has been out of congress since then, and this break i'll his service put him last in rank on the committee during the last congress. This difference in their rank marks the difference in the force of their claims. There being no known reason why General Henderson should not be selected, and his personal relations with MT. Reed being extreme ly friendly, the assumption is that he will get the appointment.

0rnoon ana Iounq nlmseII on narrow platform, 38 feet above the stage It seemed none too secure and was hardly the place any one would choose from preference for exercise The sides were open, and single misstep would send 8 luckless being tumbling below.
 Above hung the great bell of papier mache, with wooden bar projecting eight inches on either side of the tongue There were no wires, no belts, no clasps for the wrists, and no artificial supports of any kind. The reporter took hold of the clapper and hung suspended for moment. Then, concluding that swinging at that height would not be pleasant, he released his hold and de- scended the belfry stairs
 By invitation of Manager Max Blei- man the reporter watched Mrs Garter still the toll of the bell from the stage on recent night. The powerful scene between the heroine and the drunken colonel was in progress, eliminating in the escape of the prisoner. Then rang out the hoarse tones of Odell Williams as the provost sergeant:
 Ring the bell P
 Mrs. Carter seized lantern and sped for the belfry stairs. Then the stage was suddenly darkened while the stage hands shifted the scene to the tall bel fry tower. In the darkness a painting female figure ran swiftly by the reporter and crouched at the foot of the belfry stairs. The change was completed, and the rays of the calciums fell upon the bell tower as Mrs. Carter began the rapid ascent. Climbing swiftly, now in full view of the audience, she reached the first landing and tossed her lantern to the ground. Upward she toiled, reaching the top breathless, but trium- phant.
 Up shot the powerful, shapely white arms, and the muscular white hands took firm hold of the crossbar on the tongue just as the bell changed. Then four muscular men on the stage rugged at a rope and the great bell rolled and rolled, as the breathless woman clung by main strength to the small bar. Far out over the tower and back again, and out over the other side she was swung,
  while the audience sat breathless. To loosen her hold for the fraction of sec- ond meant instant ceath or maiming for life for the adventurous woman. The swinging continued as the curtain de- scended in storm of applause.
 Then the bell ceased to swing. Mrs. Carter loosened her hold and dropped, trembling, to the landing. and then made her way quickly down the narrow stairs. When she reached the stage, the actress was hysterical from the nervous strain and the fatigue. Her breath came in quick gasps, and she was unable to talk and hardly able to walk
 Half dazed, she was taken before the curtain twice by Maurice Barrymore. Then, sobbing historically, Mrs. Carter fell into her mothers s arms and was led, trembling, to her dressing room. It was ten minutes before she recovered her equanimity.

HER FERROUS ACT.
MRS. LESLIE CAMPERS DARING DEED
 IN A NEW PLAY.

No Sham About This Realism Swings
 High In Air From Bell Cispper--Led
 HystericaI to Her Dressing Room After
 Every Performance.
 In the latest dramatic success of the season, 'sThe Heart of Maryland, :" at the Herald Square theater, New York, the leading female role not only calls for great histrionic ability, but the exercise of an amount of physical strength and gymnastic skill that would tax the endurance of even a trained athlete. To Mrs. Leslie Carter, who plays Maryland Calvert, belongs the un- usual distinction of being generally ae- claimed finished actress i'll this the third role she has assumed during her stage career.
 The most dramatic scene in "The Heart of Mary land' occurs i'll the third act and is based on tho familiar poem of "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight. |" The hero has escaped from an old church, where he was held captive by the Confederates, and the provost ser geant gives orders to toll the church bells to notify the pickets of the escape
 The heroine rushes up the winding stairs of the belfry, and just as the great bell has tolled once she grasps it's brazen hammer and swings out over the church below. The bell swings furiously as the ringers pull the rope, but emits no sound as the tender hands of the brave woman muffle the clapper. It is an extremely effective scene and never fails to arouse the audience to enthusiasm.
 There have been many conjectures as to how it was worked, and the belief is general that Mrs. Carter is fastened to tho bell by invisible wires and belts, and is therefore practically in no danger in this trying scene. This idea is entirely erroneous, as reporter found on inves-

The North Atlantic Squadron.

The north Atlantic squadron, under Admiral Bunce, is to be prepared for a cruise in the vicinity of the West Indies. Repairs on the vessels will begin at once at the New York and Norfolk navy yards. The work will require about a month, and as soon as it is finished the ships will start south. The squadron at present consists of the New York, Columbia, Minneapolis and Montgom- cry. To these it is expected to add the Maine and Texas.

At the Turning of the Tide.

The present condition of the foreign trade should bring gold into the coun- try. Along to the present time the coun- try has exported this year about $45, GOO, ,000 more gold than it has imported This is large loss, but it has often been exceeded. In the sane time in 1894 the loss was $66, ,000, 900, in 1899 it was $52, 1000, 900 and ill 1891 $53, ,000, 000 The grain and cotton exports, now mod erately heavy, at this season i'll most years start flow of gold to this coun- try, and it is reasonable to look for a movement of this sort soon.

ENGLISH ESTIMATES OF EDISON,

A Practical, shrewd, Clever Man,
With Inanite Capacity for Work.
The position which Edison fills In
the popular mind is one of the most
remarkable incidents In the history Of
invention. TO many he Is the en-
bodied genius Of electric lightning,
and he Is the popular conception Of
the greatest living scientist; but the
fact is that the luster of Americas
real scientist has been paled by the
glare and artificial glamour surround
ing Edison and all his works. These
distorted views have been, to q great
extent, fostered by ingenious mechan-
ical contrivances, such as the phono-
graph and other novelties, which are
above all things amusing. 1t would
be Idle for us to say that he has done
nothing of note. He is undoubtedly q
clever man, but there are many who
are better mechanics.
His ability lies rather In organizing
the work of a staff Of trained experts,
son has allied with his mechanical
tude. 1t is this combination Of talents
the majority Of men. There are men
possessing greater skill in mechanics.
and men with greater commercial
gifts, but the two are seldom COM
binetl. We are not called upon to anal
we his extraordinary popularity. He
doubtless has deserved 1t. But a mod
crate estimate would be that he Is u
practical, shrewd man, with (what we
believe Is too generally underrnted)s
immense physical endurance, and,
consequently, with infinite capacity
for work, and an untiring energy
