THE SILVER QUESTION.

'NWe have had both Bryan and Bland be- fore us arguing in favor of the cartwheel dollar. Bland's opponent was the late Michael D. Harter. of Ohio, then, like Bland, member of the lower house of congress.
 "The two men were great friends person. ally and they came on from Washington together. Each was so wrapped up in his subject that they began to argue it over in the train, and in order that they might talk it all out before they finished they be- gan the discussion with the consideration like were used media of exchange All the way to New York they kept at it, ham mer and tongs. At the Astor house. whare they lunched they kept the ball a-rolling to the edification of all who sat near them. On the boat and train to our town they continued the contest and they were still at it when. they reached my house. There was a slight intermission for dinner but the matter was again taken up on the way to the club house and continued till the moment MT. Bland took his place on the platform.
 "In such circumstances it would not have been surprising had neither made a lucid argument, and, in truth, neither did, for their half-hour talks were merely continu- ations of what they had been saying all day. On the way back to the house, after the speaking, they took the question up anew, and it was long after midnight be- fore they were tired enough to give 1t up.

found that sandow had not moved quickly enough to make them interesting. It took him three or four seconds to make his changes and to twist his mighty arms so that new muscles were shown, and in that time 200 or 800 pictures had been record d by the camara. Although every change was seen, the pictures did 1t so hurriedly that they were scarcely interesting It was like watching the hands of a clock.
 A new wonder was next tried. A man who had record for turning somersaults very rapidly was invited to visit Men,o Park. This man stood upon his hands and did spring. He turned somersau backwards and forwards with lightning rapidity. The camera meantime photo- graphed him with all it's speed. When its pictures were developed they were found to be perfectly satisfactory. The csmara had shown the man at every successive stage of a somersault As the pictures were flashed before you, one. by one. you saw that they had an actual man turning an actual somersault. The changes re made more rapidly than the eye could travel.

 Well he said, after one or two turns up and down the room, isn't it time to go on?
 "'No, MT. Jefferson I replied, it W mt be time for a good twenty minutes yet
 Then he paced from end to end of the room for perhaps three minutes more.

 ''It was only with the greatest difficulty that I was able to calm him. but by d'nt of telling all the old stories I could think of and assuring him that he could have no trouble did manage to keep him in farly good condition until five minutes before the hour. Then I concluded to let him go on ahead of time. I must confess that his nervousness had communicated itself to me in some degree, and I was almost as afraid as he was that he might break down. But beond little sparring for time in the fir rst three or four minutes he got along fla mously. Before the fifth minute passed he had completely forgotten his stage fright. His lecture was. of course, one of the star features of the entire series He has since told mo that he has occasional attacks of the blue Hunks just before go- ing on the lecture platform. though they are nothing to the one under which he la bored on that occasion.

created the greatest sensation the art world of fifteen years ago had experienced. Ire horses were shown in the most awk- ward attitudes. In many of the pictures their legs were stiff like those of a wooden horse
 From that time on the development of rapidly successive pictures has gone on. One of the most interesting photographs of late years is that which gives a scene in a blacksmith's shop. There are three or four figures in this scene, all moving at the same time. One man blows the furnace another takes out the hot iron and puts it on the anvil, where third, swinging a heavy sledge, strikes 1t a few blows as man on the opposite side of the anvil picks up a sledge and joins in the work
 Another man picks up bottle of beer and this is handed from one to another until emptied. In this scene the sparks can be seen to fly from the red-hot iron and the smoke going up the chimney is as natural as in actual life. The ricture is illuminated by small electric light und, the rapid-hying film of gelat.na in the in- terior of the kinetoscope all of whose works are operated by electricity.

BEHIND THE SCENES
 WITH FAMOUS SPEAKERS
By the President of Suburban Club.


 It was the president of a suburban club swho was talking and he was reciting his experience as purveyor in ordinary for the clubs lecture course, apropos of his present slabors providing speeches for the coming winter.
 ''We never make arrangements through the lecture bureaus, he said, because man of the lights in the world of literature, art, science, the drama and politics whom we desire to secure are not regularly ln the lecture habit, and so could not readily be obtained in that way. Nor do we, as a rule, depend for entire evening of enter tainment or instruction on one Individual, our custom being to engage two peakers known to hold opposite views on some question of general interest to debate the matter before us. In this way we have been able to procure many speakers who cou q have been induced to appear before us on no other preteXt.
 ''The rule is sometimes disresarded however, and one of the first exceptions was made in the cas of Joe Jefferson. As it happened, the lecture he gave us was one of the first he had ever delivered, and learned afterward that he was tre- mend iousiy nervous over the matter In truth. though he had been appearing con- stantly before the public on the stage for many years, he shrank like any other novice from lis first appearance on the lecture platform. Something of this began .o ba appa rent to me at the dinner table before the lecture. He didn't say as much, buE he was evidently exceedingly nervous all through the meal and his nervousness increased on tho way to the club house He seemed afraid before we started that we would not be in time. and we therefore called the carriage so early that we wsre seated in the little withdrawing room. back of the platform. full bal: hour before the sche.iuIs tiu,e for his talk to begin.

the kinetograph is the machine which takes the pictures, and the knetoscope the one which shows them to the public. Others contend that the honor for exhibiting these pictures belongs to a Washington man, who invented a machine which he called the phantascope. He claims the actual method by which pictures are thrown upon screen for the benefit of an audience.
 Let the honor rest where it may-and all honor to the inventor!-the public now has the pleasure of seeing a series of living pictures which are so real and life-like that one could easily believe that the actual people stood before one.
 When the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight was kinetoscoped, the machine was put to its greatest test. The movements of the men were so rapid that many of the spec tators failed to see them; yet the machine caught every one. A few days after the fight, the rumor was circulated that the kinetoscope pictures had been a failure, and 1t was added that Fitzsimmon had sold out his royalty in the pictures. Later however, the pictures were developed and with perfect success.
 It was understood at the time that the

The most distinguished spectator at the great coming prize fight will be a curious looking instrument which, with great glass eye, will stare at the fight from the best point of vantage.
 This spectator will be the wonderful kinetoscope, the machine which pays near ly s4O000 for the privilege of viewing the encounter.
 Prize fighting was running down a little the sporting fraternity say, until the kinetoscope. the kinetograph or phanta- scope, as 1t is variously called, stepped in and gave additional interest.

 From the standpoint of science the klne- toscope fight is thing so wonderful that even those who do not approve of fstic encounters must marvel. The idea of a machine which can take pictures at the rate of forty-six a second, or as fast as the eye can travel, is so wonderful that the mind forgets the morale of the pictures in contemplation of the wonder of their suc- cessive execution.
 The kinetoscope is a machine which in

When the pictures were developed it was rapid than this, the eye would lose a great deal, and therefore he kept the speed down to forty-six a second.
 Edisons first experiment with this ma chine showed the commercial success of the perfected pictures These when plac d in the small, box-like apparatus with which the public is familiar, displayed the figures in motion upon the whirring background They were small, but exact and entertai i- ing. Handled in book form the pictures were still more humorous. Countless leaves succeeded each other, each with a small figure in action. As you turned over the leaves you saw the actual scene. A couple kissing proved very popular picture book and prize fight was also in- teresting. But to throw these pictures up- on the great screen for the entertainment of a large hall of people was entirely an other matter

 means of a lightning lens inside.
 Edison was so elated with the success Of his work that he invited some of the cleyerest wonders to perform in front of his rapid camara. Sandow, the stron g man, was one of the first to test the ca pacity of the kinetoscope. Sandow posed

delay and wearing his light overcoat tight ly buttoned. Judge of my surprise on reaching the club house at the discovery, when the overcoat was removed, that he had substituted a spike-tail for his short frock in the two or three minutes he had spent in his room. That spike-tail had been folded up in his little grip and still showed the creases. When looked closer I saw that his waistcoat and trousers were a part of this evening suit. He had not unbuttoned his short sack coat at dinner and, of course, we had no suspicion of his lightning change abilities with regard to his clothing. It was a long time after that before my fellow members stopped guying me about the portean college professor and my wearing a sack coat when introducing a speaker who was properly attired for the evening.

 HOW KATE FIELD WAS FOOLED.
 'The late Kate Field was the victim of the meanest trick I ever knew to be played by lecturer. 1 won't mention the mans name, but l will say that he is one of the best known public speakers in the United States.
 He and Miss Field were to speak on o?- posite sides of the same subject, and as Is the custom among those who appear be- fore our club, each furnished the other with an advance outline of the points to be made, in order that neither should be taken
 
 sisted upon by the speakers themselves and always by the club, since otherwise We might sometimes be treated to the loosest sort of extemporaneous argument instead of carefully constructed, well thought out effort. But the man was decidedly disin- genuous in his conduct, for instead of furn- ishing Miss Field with an honest outline of what he proposed to say, the synopsis he gave was absolutely misleading, and he argued his case from premises entirely diff ferent from those indicted
 "He spoke first, and she saw the trick before he had been talking ten minutes. Naturally she was indignant, and she said afterward that her first idea was not to answer him at alls Fortunately for us, however, she thought better of that, and by listening closely to his arguments. she managed to construct so skillful a reply to him as he progressed that no one hearing her speech would have imagined the true state of affairs. In fact, she wiped up the floor with him, fgurativey peaking, and much of what she had to say was perious-

Those who stickle upon terms say that kinetoscope people put up the money Gor the big fight at Carson City and that the fighters received their reward from the same source, together with large royalty.
 At the coming fight the kinetoscope will play a very important part, for without this important after-eXhibition of the fight it would hardly pay the clubs and the packers for the great amount of money which a prize fight of today costs. What with trainers and training quarters, what with referees and managers, a prize fight would exceed the returns were it not for the great practical reproducing machine.
 One of the first rapid photographing machines was the apparatus which Meyer bridge built for the late Senator Leland Stanford The senator was great ad- mirer of fast horses and he desired proto- graphs of his horses in action. Meyerbridge built for him an apparatus which showed
