however, did not feaze him a bit. He

the young man as he turned again to

An ancient legend tells us that one
day as Orpheus. son of Apollo and the
muse Calliope. was walking by the sea.
trilling in soft cadence Il song taught
him by the celebrated teacher Limos,
he was attracted by the sound of sweet
music, which seemed but the echo OF
his own glorious voice. He walked
along, singing. and the sound APP
preached, as if to meet him, till finally
it sang at his very feet.
CHANGING down. he saw the shell of i
turtle, which had been cast high and
dry upon the beach and left there by
the receding waves. The little thing
had died and dried up so that only the
sinews. shriveled to strings, and the
shell remained. The dried up sinews
were tightly stretched across the hol-
low shell. and the wind, as it listed,
touched the strings, causing them TO
vibrate over the shell sounding board
and give forth the sweet, sad tones.
Enchanted, he bore his treasure home
and from it fashioned the viol shell.
with which he ever after accompanied
his voice. and the nymph Eurydicc. en-
chanted by its magic, became his bride.

terday expressed the opinion that
there will be no decided effort during
the next session of congress to de-
crease the congressional representa-
ton of the southern states because OF
the Acknowledgement of the negroes.
He said in all probability the subject
will be discussed but he thought the
committee would favor basing the rep
resentation upon the number of inhao-
itants. Mr.. Hopkins said: The COM
mittee on census will meet during the
first week of the session to frame Dill

a proposition will be adopted to IN
crease the present membership OF the
house. It has been suggested that we
authorize one member for each $4,000
inhabitants. That seems to be the
ratio that is in general favor and would
increase the house by fifteen or
twenty members. The reapportion-
ment would probably add members TO
the house from New York and Illinois
and perhaps other states. States like
Nebraska and Maine might lose by the
proposed law. Some southern states
might also suffer from the PROPOSE
tion.

Manila, Nov. 21.-General Macabo-

pared to start in pursuit of Aguinaldo
with a force of all picked natives, sup
ported by American troops and other
ex-rebel FiIipfnos campaigning in the
country. Their offers have not been
formally made yet but they are ready
when the authorities will accept their
services. Aguinaldo, it is supposed, is
in northern Luzon, according to state
ments made by ex-rebel leaders now
in Manila, confirmed from other sour
ces.
Algipay, a native priest and an in
s11rgent leader in northern Luzon, has
written friends in Manila asking for
election news and requesting to be in
formed whether a decision has been
reached concerning the relations be-
tween church and state and the d1spo-
sition of church properties. The re-
plies that were sent contain the infor-
nation that the church and state will
be separate and that entire religious
freedom will be allowed.

London, Nov 18.-The increasing
frequency of Lord Roseberry's public
utterances in no way decreases the
which follows each occasion. His
strange mingling of common sense
sentiment, surprising rhetoric ant
homely phrases puzzles the people o
Great Britain to such an extent tina
the former premier may well be saif
to have gained more power since HI
has been out of power than he eve
had before His speech at Glasgow.
Friday causes the other events Of the
week to sink into insignifcance. Ye
the underlying note of that wonderful
monograph of the British empire way
one of warning.
The Daily Telegraph appropriately
describes it as follows: Now two ma.
tons at least. the United States and
Germany, are SO close at our back that
their shadow falls in front of us. and
that they are in more athletic condi-
ton than ourselves, we have no doubt,
but England has a reserve pace which
our competitors can scarcely suspect.
We are very near time when we will
have to put forth the best of our speed,
and stretch FIBRE"
1t is Rosebery's constant reiterat1on
of those features which makes his
words so deeply weighed by politicians
and business men in Great Britain.
With consummate skill he presents
both the weakness and strength Of I'M
perialism. Yet, with all this adulation
of his countrymen, bestowed regard
less of party lines. it seems
unlikely that the former
liberal premier will emerge from
political retirement, at any rate at
present. His great antagonist, the.
philosophical Lord Salisbury, has de-
cided quite unexpectedly to call an
early session of parliament. and has
consented to accept salary Of $4,000
for fulfilling the duties of premier,
though nominally he receives recon-
pense for SO doing The first meeting
of parliament promises to be short
and is likely to be adjourned over the
new year as soon as the necessar!
supplies are secured. The British
specials giving descriptions of the
Morgan-Satterlee wedding are almost
entirely devoted to it's pecuniary feat
ures, giving impression that it was a
repetition of the Bradley-Martin at
fair. AS natural result the London
papers indulge in such comment as
this from the Westminster Gazette:
"The reputation OF Americans Of a GER
tain type, for vulgar ostenstation,
seems to have been exceedingly well
sustained at the wedding" and SO on
in a similar strain. Another curious
piece of information upon American
matters is contained in the London
Daily Telegraph's description of the
society of American women of London,
in which it is gravely asserted that
when an American has made for
tune he finds it almost impossible to-
live quietly in his own country. The
chief attraction is England, where
Americans can escape the newspa-
pers."
