wards proved hypocrites; the words the
prima donna's song are rarely spoken so
as to be fully understood, while the actor
simply speaks by rote that which his
audience may often have read at their
leisure many times before: but that these
have the magic power to sway the human
mind and passions even to extremes there
is no room for doubt.
Oratory, however, is notnecessarily a
measure of brains. Some brains may be
Mt cessary to be an orator. The actor
must have the brain power to interpret
the authors words which he speaks, but
the play is written by the author, not the
actor.
In these political days when 'tspell
binders" abound it is we'll to draw these
distinctions. The man on the stump,
with clarion tongue and ready vocabul-
ary, high sounding sentences and glitter
ing generalities, undoubtedly moves the
passions; but reason though slower and
cooler, is by far the best judge of the
speakers abilities. Passion judges by
the manner, while reason judges by what
is said. Any speech is iar better guaged
when read quietly from the cold type of
the newspaper than when listened to
from the glowing lips of an impassioned
speaker. Edward Everett was in some
ways by far a greater orator than
Abraham Lincoln. Both spoke at the
dedication ceremonies at Gettysburg.
But Mr.. IEverett made this distinction
when in congratulating Mr.. Lincoln after
wards, he said, Sir, my Grafton will be
forgotten in day, yours will 60 down to
posterity.".
These thoughts are brought to mind by
the dazzling success of Mr.. Bryan as a
stump speaker. That success is too
obvious to be questioned. but we be.
lieve that from the time that MIR. Bryan
made the famous speech at Chicago that
nominated him as candidate for presi-
dent, that he has gradually been going
down in the estimation of the general
public. While giving him all due credit
as mere orator, they realize that his
power is located in his throat and lungs
and not in his brains. We. do not mean
by this to say that Mr.. Bryanis not a
brainy man, but while he is a pre-eminent
orator, he is not re-eminent statesman.
If Mr.. Bryan's throat should fail him, un.
doubtedly he would sink at once. to the
level of at least thousand other proml'
Lnent, though not pre-eminent statesmen

down to posterity as do the speeches of
their political chief Mr.. Bryan. And

organs. Mr.. Bryan is not even great
orator.

RIDE IN A JAUNTING CAR.
IFrom the Atlantic Monthly.l

IFrom the Atlantic Monthly.l
A long line of vehicles, outside cars
and cabs, some of them battered and
shalxy, others sufficiently well looking,
was gathering on two sides Of the green,
for Dublin, you know, is the car driv-
ing city of the world" Francesca and I
had our first experience yesterday. 1t is
easy to tell the stranger, stiff, decorous,
terrified clutching the rail with one or
both hands, but we took for our model
a pretty Irish girl, who looked like moth
ing so much as a bird on a Swaying
bough. 1t is no longer called the ''jaunt
ing but the outside car, and there is
another charming word lost to the world.
There was formerly an inside car, too,
but it is almost unknown in Dublin,
though still found in some of the smaller
towns An outside car has its wheels
practically inside the body of the We
hic1e, but an inside car carries its wheels
outside. This definition was given us
by an Irish driver, but lucid definition is
perhaps not an Irishman'S strong point.
1t is clearer to say that the passenger
sits outside of the wheels on the one,
inside on the other.
There are seats for two persons over
each of the two wheels, and a "dickey
for the driver in front should he need
to use it. Ordinarily he sits on one side
driving, while you perch on the other,
and thus you jog along, each seeing
your own side of the road and discuss
ing the topics of the day across the
'well'' as the coveTed-in center of the
car is called. There are those who do
not agree with it's champions who call
it "Cupid'S own conveyance; and they
find the seat too small for two, yet feel
it a bit unsociable when the companion
occupies the opposite side. To me a
modern Dublin car with rubber tires
and good Irish horse is the jolliest con-
veyance in the universe; there is a live
liness an irresponsible gayety in the
spring and sway of it; and ease in the
half-lounging position against the cush-
ions a unique charm in travelling edge
ways'' with your feet planted on the step.
You must not be afraid of a car If you
want to enjoy it Hold the rail If you
must at first, though it's just as bad
form as clinging to your horses name
while riding in the row. Your driver VIII
take all the chances that a crowded
thoroughfare gives him; he would scorn
to leave more than an inch between your
feet and a Guinness beer dray; he Will
shake your flounces and furbelows in
the very windows of the passing
trans, but he is beloved by the gods,
and nothing ever happens to him.

why did I play HamIet?'' said Mr..

How many Hamlets have I seen? I

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. They
were the bigS-= parts ever played in

CHICAGO GIRLS IN CHoRUsEs.
Applicants Have Little Difficulty in
Getting Engagements.

The number Of Chicago young wo-
men who want to become chorus girls is

almost every company, and hundreds
want to get into the business. They
haunt the agencies, and even those who
DO not do this write frequently to man
ayers who they think likely to need
singers. Girls from small towns and
from the farm used to be in the ma
Jor1ty. They are not any more" says
a Chicago paper.
Other managers say they have noticed
the increase of applicants from Chicago,
and that the girls they get here are
more clever and more easily trained
than those they used to obtain from the
country Most Chicago girls patrOnize
the theater regularly, and can not fail
to pick up hints that are useful to them
II they go on the stage. They do not
have the nervousness that attends the
first efforts of most girls from the vii
lagos, and as many of them have learned
dancing from competent teachers, little
trouble is found in giving them the nee
esSary coaching for professional work.
Another point that is to their advan-
tage is that they dress we'll They are
not dowdy, ard managers like a we'll
dressed chorus. The girls are not so old
as those who used to apply. Many girls
who are at the high school are now look
ing for work in light opera, companies,
and many of them are getting it. One

foIrnances in Chicago last summer and
which has since gone on the road car
