Gov. Pingress OF Michigan. when in
Toronto recently, was asked his opinion
concerning the alien labor law, and re-

criminal and diseased people, but we do
want the laboring man who is willing to

-Marcelle Berenger, the most beautiful
model in Paris, says the New York Her
aid, has caused a fUtter in the atelers Of
the French capital by declaring her in
tention OF posing in the future for none
but American artists. She justdes the
stand she has taken in way that is far
from fiatterrg to her coUntrymen "They
tire me, these French students" she says,
with a charming shrug and a smile. They
are coarse and vulgar compared with the
American, and so inconsiderate. They
think of themselves only, and never of the
model, and that surely is not quite fair
Marcelle Jeanne Pare. as the students IA
miliarly call her though famous for her
youth, beauty and personal charm, is quite
unspoiled. In appearance she is a Slight,
brown-haired, blue-eyed slip of a girl,
with fautless figure. Perhaps the chief
charm of her face lies in it's puzzling con-
trasts, in the dimples that come and go
with every breath; in the eyes that never,
even in her gayest moments, lose a GER
tain look of appealing sorrow. To quote
a famous critic, "she possesses the eyes
of a Mater Dolorosa and the lips of a Bac-
chante. She is a beautiful sphinx"

Fast shenIsers In Congrerr.

Fred S. Irland, one of the expert ste
nographers Of the House, talked interest
ingly yesterday regarding the speed with
which congressman talk, says the Wash
ington Post.
1T has been said in the newspapers"
remarked Mr.. Irland, that Representative
Lewis of Washington talks at the rate
of 300 words a minute. He does not. No
man could speak in the House at that
speed and be reported. I doubt whether
he could be understood. ! mean, of course,
such words as occur in debates. OF course,
in taking routine testimony, where fire.
quently recurring phrases, such as what
is your name% and where do you live?
are expressed by brief arbitrary signs, a
stenographer can write as fast as a man
can think. 1t is a very difficult matter
when a congressman talks. He uses
words with many syllables
What is the fastest record in the
House?"
Representative Johnson of Indiana once
talked for an hour and a half when dis
cussing a contested election case, at an
average rate of 220 words minute. That
is rapid work. If a man talks ESQ words
minute he is very swift. 1 have noticed
one thing, added Mr.. Irland. THE fast
takers slow up after being in the House
a little while. The vastness of the air
space they have to fill with their voices
gradually makes its impression upon
them, and they find. too, that they get
more attention when they do not talk
so fast"

The President has received a cordial well
come in the south. There has been no
thought Of partisanship in the demonstra-
tons with which he has been greeted.
The people have received him, not as the
leader of great political party, but as
the chief executive of their government
which embraces all sections and classes,
and exists by the consent of the people
for the benefit Of the country as a whole.
And the President has met the people in
the same spirit. In his addresses he has
not touched upon political details, where
on there are wide differences of opinion,
but has eulogized the sturdy American
spirit which has made the country one of
the greatest and richest upon the face of
the globe.
The visit Of the President and party to
the south, it Is to be hoped, will prove to
be mutually beneficial. There are many
reasons to think that northern statesmen
too often regard the south merely in the
abstract. They are not acquainted with
the people or the section. They become
possessed OF ideas which are Incorrectly
based. and lacking proper information
they proceed upon those ideas as II they
were grounded upon ineontrovertible facts.
Presidents and northern cabinet officials
have not heretofore done a great deal in
the way OF visiting the south. 1t is TO be
hoped that the examples of Cleveland and
Mckinley will be followed. whenever
there Is favorable opportunity. The
south is always ready to honor the Presi-
dent. be he democrat or republican. or
whether or not it is in accord with him
upon matters Of party policy The south

The republican protection policy Is
about TO put the United States in the po-
sition Of antagonizing the entire CONNER

England, which has had years of free
trade, is talking retaliation 1t really
