TALKS by GRAMOPHONE.
Prof. Jates Entertain a Delighted
Audience mt His Home.

Audience mt His Home.
The gramophone entertainment last
night at the residence Of Mr.. }. A. Bates,
No 31S CASTOR street, east, for the beneii :
of the organ fund of St. Johns church,
though not largely attended, was a sue
cess in so far as the work of the instru-
ment and the hospitality of the host were
concerned.
The gramophone under the skillful d.
rection of prof. b. A. Jates," would pro-
duce in response to the magic of his touch
either the most horrible discords of which
the power of sound is capable or reproduc-
tons of entrancingly sweet music.
The room in which the instrument was
placed was perhaps little too small. but
those present nevertheless heard
distinctly and greatly enjoyed the
speeches, Rotations, songs. instrumental
selections. both in solo and orchestral
medleys and jargons that were rendered
by the gramophone.
prof. Jates" delivered a characteristic
address in the gramophone, which was as
greatly enjoyed as the sayings of the IN
strument itself. After the gramophone
had entertained its audience for some
time. il refused TO perform further, POI
litely insisting on it's hearers indulgence
in the inviting refreshments that had been
prepared. Prof. Jates" will bring out
his gramophone again tonight, when the
entire entertainment will be repeated.

to be absent several days. Just before
he left he aid:
las soon as | return l will urge the
committee on Interstate Commerce to
give immediate consideration to my
bill and to report it to the Senate as
soon as possible
There ought not to be much delay
about it, for the majority of the Sen
ate is thoroughly familiar with the
subject having already had under con-
SheratiOn in a former Congress the
Patterson bill which was very SINH
lar to the bill have introduced.
THE recent decision of the Supreme
court has brought about a condition
which calls for immediate action and
it is not only necessary that legiSla-
ton should be enacted but that it
should be done promptly. l am con-
WINGED that real prosperity cannot be
brought about or made permanent I'M
til there has been legislation on this
subject.
1T is imperative that the railways
should be assured protection from ru-
nous rate wars and from the present
uncertainty, which will prevent them
from placing orders for new material
for the maintenance of their systems
or for their extension
The question of whether there is
to be prosperity or depression in a
great many lines of business is, there
fore, dependent upon the action of
Congress in regard to this matter.

committee and numerous individuals
