II President Mckinley shall convene
Congress in extra session it viii be d:e
thirteenth cneeting of this kind that has
taken place since the foundation Of the
government. There is 4 distinction be-
tween extra" and Special sessions Of
which there have been many under diff
ferent administrations. Most notable of
OF the sessions of tilis character were
perhaps, those under the Andrew Jack
son regime. when the National Legislature
adjourned from time 10 time, 50 as to

An extra session is called by preSi-
Dental proclamation under the pressure
of some great emergency. requiring the
cooperation of the legislative depart
ment of the Government. John Adams
Summoned the first ol3G, in 1877, when the
relations with France were Of q stormy
character. Jefferson, seven years later,

result came the famous Embargo act.
One of the most important Of all the
extra sessions was that assembled by
Madison in November, 1911, to deliberate
upon the question of peace or war with
England. TIE enforcement by her of the
outrageous orders in council ana the in
suits tleaped upon the flag by high-handed
enforcement of the so-calIed right of

Jackson had occasion TO call an extra
session Martin Van Buren,, however, was
forced to appeal to one in the tai Oh lS3i'
owing 70 the unfortunate condtoh OF tie
firaces. William Henry Harrison Is tue
only President that called an extra ses-
sion of Congress and did not live to see
it meet When he was inaugurated the
condition of the revenue and finances OF
the country were in a bad way, and eleV-

fifteen years later was there a necessity
for an extra session: at least no one was
called. That was under the administration
Of Franklin Pierce in 1856 At it's regular
session Congress had failed to pass the
Army appropriation bill, and the Pierce
extra session was necessary to keep ule
military arm of the Government from
possible dissolution.

II is a noteworthy fact that large
majority of the stars now appearing in
New York are women. Julia Marlows,
Viola Allen. NIaude Adams, Mary Man
nering, Edna May, Amelia Bingham,
Blanche Bates and Ethel Barrymore are
winning the applause of critics and au-
ditors not to mention the sordid dollar,
while Nat Goodwin, Henry Miller and
Chauncey Olcott are their only oppon-
ents. Perhaps Nat Goodwin can be term

beautiful wife, Maxine Elliott is sharing

we're lambasting at the hands OF the New
York critics, though musical comedy is
the favOrite Of the hour
The brilliant agrapher of the Wash
inSton Post has d tender heart, as vii
be seen from this classical outburst OF
last week:
I'VE always sympathize with the dram
attic critic in a one-night- stand town. The
deficit of raw material there is appalling.
1t is true that Richmond is now a two
night stand, but let that pass. The SYM
pathy so soulfully and elegantly express
ed can tarry here for g while. The last
sentence gives one SO interesting and
thought-burdened a problem to solve. The
words deficit and raw material run
from the pen of a Washington writer with
more readiness and fuidity than does the
ink. They are often seen in conjunction
and bring sad memories Of tariff-tinliers
and what might have been. No wonder
that pity was stirred in the heart of the
writer, when thumbng the pages of his
Worcester, his eyes fell upon those words.
But not to stray from the subject. y
sentence that can be translated various
ways is as prolific OF thought and study
as a handless sign-post at the junction of
three roads. And it is as likely to lead
one from the subject and nstray in a will
derness Of thought as that broken sign
post. But agKn, let that pass and revert
to the post that guides you through the
mazes of parliamentary practice and river
and harbor bills. The Post Photographer
has done nobly, and thousands of pro
yincial critics will doubtless deeply APP
precate and cherish his kindly words and
preserve them in their scrap-books.
