An Explanation at the Bar.


This concerns Chicago criticism. A
writer for one of the dailies, whose
name might be O'Hennessey, had been
its dramatic critic for several years,
and his screeds 4 were more or less
looked up to as examples of erudition
and critical judgment. Every season
brought to the Windy City d pair of
comedians, who acted together, and
whom, for purposes of illustration. we
will call Robsane and Crone. O'Hen-
nessey's notices always fattered Rob
sane highly, but for poor Crone no
words in O'Hennessey's bright lexicon
were sufficiently strong to express the
critics disaDDroval.
1t happened that o Hennessey one
afternoon strolled into one of Chicago's
palatial dispensaries of liquid JOY. Be-
fore the prescription counter was
group of his friends and among them
Crone, whom O,Hennessey had been
pen flashing for years. Crone had recog-
nized his critic as he entered, and the
actors usually cheerful face bore
anything but a pleased expression The
tactful thing for O'Hennessey to have
done would have been to bow to his
friends and ordered his medicine at the
other end of the counter. Instead of
that he joined the party. saluting them
in jovial tones and looking Crone full
in the face without the slightest en-
barraSsment. One of his friends said

The president explained that hardly two

that a fortnights gayety in Washington

Synopsis of HarrisOn's speech on the
Mich. Dec. Is, 1900
FiIst-The government possesses the
power of acquiring territory by conquest
or treaty.
Second-Neither a statute nor treaty
can abrogate the constitution.
Third--The theory of the constitution is
that it embraces both territory and peo-
pie.
Fourth-Whatever congress does it is
subjected to and is governed by the re-
strictions of the constitution.
Fifth-The bill If rights of the consti-
tuition is assured to the people of the
territories.
Sixth-These principles apply in Porto
Rico ard the Philippines in such a sense
that there is no denial.
ScV6nth-lS it not in the nature of an
insult 10 raise the flag in Porto Rico and
have the hopeless people standing to hear
read from the foot of the flagstaff pro-
clamatiOn saying they are not citizens of
the United States?
Eighth-Ifod forbid that the day should
ever come when in the American minds

submerge the old American thought of a
man 3 creature of God. and endowed
with inalienable rights.

sULLIvANs SCHEME.
Americas Best Men Are Advocates
oe no-rsv,o,


John L. Sullivan has his own ideas Of
the kind of boxing law ne would advo-
cate He thinks the game Will be re-
vived in due time, and says ne has a bill
locked UP in his safe that may be intro
duced by some energetic LEGISLATOR. Here
are John L. ideas on what the law
should be:
Fifteen rounds would be enough to de-
eide any fight of Importance FlVe-ouncc
gloves are all right as they are. Make it
compulsory 10 have all contestants eN-
amined by physicians before entering the
ring and keep out the crooks. Limit the
cluD in number and have stringent rules
against fouls. Place in power men who
would control the sport with fearless
ness and honesty ana protect the public
against fraud by making the punishment
for such oIfenSes Punishment forever.
When men of business reputation and
influence are not afraid to be seen at the
ringside it ought TO be conceded that
there 5 no harm in glove fights.
The way the governors and leSisla-
lures have been jumping on the sport we
will soon have a lot OF weak-kneed, uss-
healthy boys growing into manhood.
What good Is fellow who's afraid to de-
fend himseif2 If l had a son and he
cOuldnt night I'd disown him.
They say that football makes Amer
ica'S best men. I'll bet there isn't a foot
bail player in the land who doesn't know
how to use his hands. America is a ma
ton of men, and men who are men want
to see boxing. Those who oppose the
sport don't know what they are talking
about"

And heaven of blue above
a rustic house in little glade,
A path TO the water side.
shower OF light and a wealth OF shade
And a home that l used 10 pride
a vine-cIad porch and an open door,
girl with an ansel's face,
a table spread with q meal for four
. And never a vacant placel
A kiss to soothe when the heart was sad,
A wife's or q child's caress-~
Oh, tins was the dream that / sometimes
The dream that was even less:
And tonight I rehearse in my lonely room
Each scene as it came and went
The life that l spend in the city's gloom,
And the life that 1 might have spent.
I think of the love of the long ago,
The home that we planned by the lake
below
Which was fit for queen to grace.
OF the rustic house that was never
mine.
The nome" that I never knew.
me table spread with a feast divine
And place for the babies, tool
But the hope was vain for my love was
laid
In the depths of a mountain tomb
In shower of light and a wealth of
shade,
In spot where the roses bloom.
And I left the west with a broken heart,
And a wish that l might forget,
But the past and the present, though far
apart.
Are bridged in my being yet!
They can me a batch" but they do not
know
OF the lips I have often pressed
Of the spirit who comes when the moon
is low
From her tomb in the lonely west!
