an old pair Of shoes, and mail them 10
him under the Congressional frank.
The member was startled at the au.
dacity Of his correspondent and il is
needless to say that he did not com.
ply with the request. This member
received letter from one Of his con-
stituents asking him to secure the vo.
ter position as bartender in this city
As this is not in the line with the
work Of a Congressman, and as In.

this capacity, this request was also
turned down.
The other day the same member
was amused by finding in his mail n
letter from one of his constituents
who is in love with a young woman

The writer said he knew the member

No Such Thing as Th brwins the
Voice.

Voice.
"ventriloquism as vaudeville spec
ialty is about played out" said n vet
eran Snowman who passed through
the city this week. at was always "A
great fake. OF course, we know nova
days that there is no such thing as
throwing the voice. and that it is
simply an illusion in which fhe eye
plays a bigger part than the ear. For
instance man is seated on the stage
with mechanical dummy 0n his knee
and YOU hear n voice. The mans face
is stifS and the jaws OF the dummy
are wagging-naturally :gou jump 10
the conclusion that the voice comes
from the doll. If you were right beside
them you would know better, but yoa
are too fan away to exactly locate the
sound. That's the principle of the
whole thins;. but in the old days the
voice throwing theory was generally
accepted.
81 remember in the season Of 1890
I was mans ger for a clever prestidl-
gitator who was also ventriloquist
He claimed to be able to throw his
voice ~ feet and land il in a space
10 inches in diameter as you might
speak of pitching a baseball or Il
quoit 1t was a most absurd contention
but he stuck TO it-even to me in prl-
yate, and we had a stock story we
used to work Off on the country's pa.
pers, about his appearing at a Coro-
ner's inquest an making the corpse
accuse n suspected person of murder.
AT that instant the climax ran. a
hollow voice issued from the dead
mans throat 1t was very thrilling
yarn, and in the course of time my
boss got to believe it himself, and
would narrate the details with every
evidence of good faith.
During the performance he used to
order everybody off the stage. but oc.
casionally ! would sneak around behind
and listen through a peep-hole. and it
was wonderful how the Illusion was
lost Frequently. ON the road, he
would be embarrassed by requests TO
throw his voice into this thing or
that to further some practical joke.
aud would always reply that his
larynx was a trifle inflamed.' Stin he
was a capital ventriboquist-one of the
very best, / believe that was ever in
the business. IN. Y. Sun.

and the Dominican Republic and
Hayti are more largely Catholic than
Protestant and the representatives of
both are Catholic.
The list of these nations is here
given. copied from the official diplo-
matte list. Catholic countries: Argen-
tina, Austria, Hungary. Belgium, b.
livia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Costa
RIGA, Ecuador, France, Guatemala,
Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Portugal,
Peru, Salvador, Spain, Uruguay and
Venezuela. Russia might properly be
regarder as Il Catholic country, and
certainly the conduct and recollection
OF its diplomats are edifying. Miss
Cassini, niece of the ambassador, sets
good example to all Catholics, as
never day passes while she is in
Washington that she does not find
time from her numerous duties to pay
visit to the Blessed Sacrament. The
Protestant countries are: Denmark,
Germany, England, Netherland. Swed-
en- and Norway, and Switzerland. The
heather are: China, Japan, Korea,
Siam and Turkey.

ident Mckinley esteems it fit and

twenty nations, and make light of the
belief of three others. Including San
Domingo and Porto Rico, seventeen
Of these nations are sister republics
of the United States.
The offense of President Mckinley
grows In magnitude as it is analysed.
1t is certainly time that Roman Catho.
lies asserted the dignity of their stand
ing in the community. No official,
whatever his station, should be per-
mitted, unrebuked, to assume an attf-
tude of public protest against the
ysanctity of the Catholic belief. In the
freedom of his conscience President
Mckinley may be Methodist or Bap-
fist or a member of any other of the
numberless sccts; but he should not
carry his protesting attitude before
the altar and sanctuary of God. AS
President of the United States he is
called upon to render little courtesies
of state. Let. him do so in the simple
humility of gentleman. =
1t is reported that the facts alleged
are beyond dispute. To doubt the ac-
curacy of the statements expressed is
of no value, for the reason that the
critic is not a competent witness. He

A monument to the Catawba Indians
who helped the Confederacy was
erected recently at Fort Mills. s. C. It
is handsome marble shaft bearing
the figure of an Indian warrior with
drawn bow. Amout thirty Indians at
tended. A full blood chief, the son of
a scout who served in the Civil War
with Capt E. Crawford, of the Twelfth
South Carolina regiment, made the ad-
dress. In the same park are two other
interesting monuments, one, erected to
honor the women of the Confederacy,
the other in memory of the faithful
slaves. This last was built years ago
by order. of Col. White. who also has
the credit of having erected the other
two. During the war, he, as well as
thousands of other wealthy planters.
took up arms to defend the Southern
cause, leaving wife and children in the
care of his negroes. After the war he
had erected the monument which
stands in the park-a unique and
beautiful expression of his own devo-
ton to his faithful servants.
