STUMP SPEAKERS PRICES
Pay Dishonor In 1872, Now n Regular
Campaign Expense.
o.. A. Coolidge in Ainslee's.)

IL. A. Coolidge in Ainslee's.)
Campaign orators in the service Of the
National Committees are well paid for
stood, and it was not the case until com
paratively recent years. In the earlier
days they usually rendered volunteer SER
vice. So universal was the custom that
discredit attached in the public mind to
a political speaker who received compen-
sation. In the campaign Of 1879 Carl
Schurz, then Senator from Missouri,
was charged with having been paid 500
a speech for his advocacy Of the election
of Horace Greeley. The charge made
something of q scandal at the time, and
although SchurZ denied the pay ment OF
this specific sum, he was never able wholly
to clear himself OF the talnt which was
supposed to attach to receiving any pay
whatever. He had bitter controversy
with Roscoe Conkling in the Senate
about 1t, during which Conkling, in his
supercilious way, expressed his contempt
OF the practice Of which he thought
Schurz had been guilty. Nowadays cam
paign speaking has become matter OF
regular employment, although, OF course,
payment is by no meanseuniversal, and
the most conspicuous orators-especially
those who hold a high place in the party
render volunteer service, and Will ac-
cept nothing beyond their travelling and
hotel expenses. The men in charge Of q
Presidential campaign prefer to pay on
the spot for what they get. This Is far
better than to leave obligations outstand-
ing to be satisfied In the distribution Of
offices after the election.
1.-THE ordi mary campaign speaker re-
ceives $50 a speech and his expenses. 1t
is said that in the campaign Of 1895 one
very effective and brilliant gold-Demo-
cratic orator was paid $500 speech by
the Republican National COMMITTEES.
This represents the high-water mark In
payments OF this kind. In some cases
those who do not receive a stipulated
price expect honorariums, which really
amount TO the same thing, and which
sometimes reach high figures. The day
of volunteer work for National Commit
tees seems to have passed. The men EN-
ployed at headquarters of any party are
paid as regularly and as generally as If
they were in any other employment"

ST. JOSEPH'S ACADEMY.
silver Greetings 60 the Rt. Rev
Bishop.

There are memorable occasions which
are characterized by an impressiveness all
their own and the thoughts which they
recall are cherished evermore In those
tender recesses of the chambers of the
soul, whose stiffness Is never broken by
the strangers tread.
Such an occasion was that of yesterday
when the daughters of st. Joseph's acad-
envy made their silver presentation to the
Rt. Rev. Bishop, which may well be
termed golden climax to all the rich
and happy days of the jubilee commemor-
alton.
The academy hall was beautiful in sim
pie and delicate decorations. The exercises
of the afternoon commenced when the
folds of the curtain stage were drawn
aside and two children dear OF very ten
der years entered the hall keeping step
in graceful precision and gave gracious
welcome to their Bishop and the Rev.
Fathers.
Miss Catherine Coffy spoke the jubilee
poem very oharmingly.
Ave Maria was rendered by Miss
Frigu glietti with taste and expression
and the instrumental features Of the pro-
gramme were finely executed.
Miss McInnis was indeed effective in
her recitation and the tableaux was q
series of exquisite movements performed
by a galaxy of charming maidens.
The gem Of the afternoon was entitled
"a Ladder to Heaven and was sweet
picture of beautiful and holy innocence.
Miss Alice Donahue. who sustained
the leading part, did so admirably and
with delightful ease Of bearing.
The three little ones who greeted their
dear prelate made a picture sweet.
Mrs. Thomas Green's address to the
Bishop was excellent.
Bishop Healy's parting words were
eloquent and for a moment he was quite
affected.
St. Joseph's academy is situated amid
charming scenery and grand old forests
where the merry birds sing their great
| Creators praise, and winds of the SUM
mer days give new life to all. 1t is a
privilege for any young woman to be
under the tutelage of the highly educated
Sisters, whoss cultured atmosphere and
elegant graces charm and refine, and
whose sanity lives impart benediction.
The programme was as follows;
March-Tannhauser, Wagner
Misses Agnes Dickinson and Gertrude
MCNAMARA.
| Chorus-Salut, Bea Jour.
Jubilee Poem.
Duet-Symphonie No. II, Haydn
