VALUE OF oRATORY.
Eloquent Flights Are Not of as Much
Ise Before JurIes as
Plain Fluency.

In an address before the Irish Lit
erary society on John Philpot Cur
ran" Lord Russell of Killowen, the
chief justice. declared the value of ora
tory TO Il lawyer is overrated. He as
serted that it is an important vehicle
for argument and for the enunciation
and enforcement of great principles.
But" he said, there is a tendency to
run to seed in this regard, and to look
upon fuency of speech as If it were
oratory." Gifts of speech could never
attain TO their real momentum and
power until founded upon a substratum
of carefully acquired knowledge and
upon solid argument. The opinion of
the lord chief justice is that of most
men who have considered the subject.
The art of oratoTical flights is less prac-
ticed, not so much because men are
less able to make such speeches, but
because they have lost their value.
They are of slight use before jures and
of no use with judges. There is pop
ular disposition TO distrust the man
who makes too great a display of his
gifts of speech when he makes an ad-
dress. The public, being more en-
ligbtened has come to weigh argu-
ments more carefully. When the ora
tor is able to appeal to the passion of
the moment he is sometimes influential,
but there his power ends. This is why
the leaders of the bar to-day are not
great orators, but rather men with the
carefully acquired knowledge which
they are able to present logically to
the judge or jury they would convince.

A Standard Among News
papers.

Rejecting In its widening circulation
and Increased advertising patronage
the prosperity that marks the opening
of the new year The Pittsburg Times
more than ever impresses upon ITS
readers the excellence of its high
standard and the success of its efforts
to make a model paper for the indi-
vidual and for the family. The Times
Is newspaper, sparing no pains nor
expense to cover the world thoroughly
every day, that its current page of his
tory may be complete, and in its longer
range overlooking nothing that occurs
at home. It is clean. dignlfied and re-
liable, certain that no lack of these
features can be made up in offensive
sensationallsm. 1t can be taken into
the family circle with confidence that
its columns are filed with wholesome
instruction aud entertainment, Wher-
ever known The Times is recognized
as the best type of a concise, crisp and
complete newspaper, and among news
paper men it is the publication with
which comparisons of excellence are
made. While The Times is Republican
IN politics, 1t realizes that others have
right to be en- earth, and that poll
tics are not everything. Whena one
cent a day will buy morning paper II
is foolish to be without one. The
Times is three dollars a year or sl1
cents week, and worth the money.

RAILROADS BUILT IN 1900.
About $500 Miles of Track Laid II
the YeRr--Best Record
Since ISOO.

The Railway Age has made a can
vass Of the country in regard to the
building of new railroads during the
past year, and finds that about $500
miles have been added in that time.
This is the greatest amount of new rail-
road that has been built in any one year
since 1890, when 5,670 miles were com
pleted. Scarcity of labor and the great
increase in prices for rails and other
supplies is believed 20 have had mate
rial effect in keeping down the new
mileage, and the coming year will with
out doubt see continuation of building.
Iowa stands at the head of the list of
states in its figures for new mileage
with 5s5 miles to its credit, although
the previous ten years had seen little or
no additions made to its railroads. A
notable fact about the railroad build
ing of the year is that there hns been
comparatively little building by new
companies, while a number of the older
roads have made important extensions.
AS examples, the Chicago s. North
western has built 357R miles; the Chi
cago, Milwaukee g. ST. Paul, 9S miles;
the Northern Pacific, 95 miles in the
United States and 30 miles in Canada;
the Chicago, Rock Island G. Pacific, SO
miles; the Atchison, Topeka g. Santa
Fe, 100 miles; the Illinois Central. 100
miles; the Burlington system, so miles;
the Louisville q Nashville, "A miles;
the Seaboard Air Line, over 100 miles;
the Great Northern, "A miles, and the
Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf, 1G2 miles.
During 1899 Massachusetts, had the
lowest record of new trackage, the
number of miles being only 4,2O.
