discussion over some copyright tangle,

talked and gesticulated. At last some-
body announced that Miss Sheldon had
Gun travail" to present. Now travail"
means work of length, volume fair
ly, and the excited speakers did not
wish to withdraw in favor of such a
quietus. So the discussion veered as to
whether the travail" should or should
not be presented, and became very ami
mated again. When quarter of an
hour had elapsed, with no decision ar
rived at, Miss Sheldon succeeded in
gaining recognition from the chair, and
made short speech herself.
Gentlemen, she said, my paper is
seven minutes long. You have consumed
Is minutes talking about it. It would
take it at first.
Whereupon everybody laughed, and
very soon the presiding officer announced
that ia parole est Mile. Sheldon"
and the seven minute paper was cour-
teously heard and enthusiastically re-
ceived.
The incident led to motion being
made by an English journalist that par
liamentary law be enforced as to the
time limit of the speeches.

How . Woman Became . Lecturer.

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore entertain
ingly addressed large audience recent
~ at the South End Tabernacle The
subject of her address was, Twenty
five Years ON the Lecture Platform. :"
She said that when Lucretia Mott, the
noted Quaker advocate of antislavery,
visited her home in Chicago, of a church
in which city Mr.. Livermore was then
pastor, she told the Quakeress that she
did not approve Of woman going
around in such a way. But when the
war arose, and all personal sentiments
and antipathies We're suppressed, she, as
the greatest philanthropic beggar" in
the northwest, was importuned to assist
the sanitary commission. She yielded.
as every enc cognizant of war times
knows, to the opportunities and, in
charge Of stores and provisions, visited
the field hospitals. Then, whenever she
returned home, the managers of enter
tainment courses, always seekers after
novelty, asked her to tell about her trips
to the war regions. Anxious to give
money to the cause. she always consent
ed to speak, and thus, unconscious of
her former prejudice. became a public
speaker. And a public speaker she has
been, with unvarying success, ever
since. Journal

The Matter of Dividing Appropriations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-During the
last session of congress a proposition
was made to divide the appropriations
among the various committees Of the
senate, but by a very decisive vote the
whole question was referred to the
short session. If the matter is brought
up again it will probably be Laid on the
table for good and all. Many senators
who supported the proposition before
will vote against it now, and the ma

ton will be larger upon question to
finally kill it. Several senators who
supported the proposition at the time
said after the vote that they would not
vote for it when it came up again.
