NEW UMBRELLA PLATE

The advantage of having an UNI
brella marked with ones own name
and address will be conceded by any
one, but there are few persons who are
systematic enough to go to the trouble
of having this done. A scheme has
just been devised by resident of this
city by which any person who can
handle pen is qualified to mark. his
own umbrella, says the Philadelphia
Record. It consists of a double ring of
metal, one placed inside the other and
designed to be fitted around the han

him to resign and he left the Cuban
army with the rank of captain and a

Spain broke out Major Fayling raised
the first company from Ohio at his own

Of the forty three persons whom Ma

were saved by hard swimming or wad-
ing out into the water. When the storm
broke Major Fayling had gone down

started to return to his Office He found
that he had to swim and wade in an
average Of five feet of water, and was
kept busy lodging live wires. 1t was
almost impossible to stand against the

his clothing, and putting on bathing

= CanC1iaGlon"-A Musical Novelty.
The extreme badness of the words
usually selected by musicians to write
tunes around has often been a matter
for sarcastic comment. The musicians
have defended themselves by saying
that the words are of the very small
est Importance, because in nine cases
out of ten no one hears them. Sing
ers, SO long as they bring out their
notes clearly, have the smallest regard
I for the unfortunate writer of the
poem. But this sort of feud between
verse writer's and musicians, is about
to be done away with, SO it is pro-
claimed by the minor poets Of young
Ireland who promise a consequent
boom in Irish verse. The theory is
that Irish poetry, minor or major, re-
quires musical accompaniment to give
it its full flavor, but when the music
rises to the dignity of tune the poet
ry becomes too subordinate Hence a
new species Of music has been specially
invented to accompany Irish verse, and
a conversazione has been held (which
some of the new music has been per-
formed It is called cantilating, and
consists OF a long-drawn moaning,
which is ethings between a chant
and a monotone, and the melancholy
of the music is said to be beyond any
thing ever heard before Though it
comes forward as new mode, canti-
.lating is in reality as old as the Greeks,
with the difference that while Greek
music went by certain fixed rules, cam

LISTEN TO MESSAGE
GREAT INTEREST SHOWN BY ALL
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

Enthusiastic Members Frequently APP
plaud During the Reading-Senate
and House Adjourn in Token of Re.
spect to Late President Mckinley
Washington, Dec. 3.-Not in many
years have the members of the house
listened with such rapt attention to
the annual message of president of
the United States as they did yester-
day to the reading of the first message
Of President Roosevelt. Every word
was followed intently, from the an
nouncement of the tragic death Of
President Mckinley, in the first sem
tence, to the expression of the hope
that our friendly relations with the
world would continue. The reading
occupied two hours, but not a member
left their seats Until the close. Sew
eral times there was applause and at
the close there was an enthusiastic
demonstration on the Republican side.
On motion Of Grosvenor CO.. that
portion of the message relating to
the late president was referred to a
committee composed of one member
from each state, to join a similar COM
mittee from the senate, to determine
by what token of expression it may be
proper for congress to express the
deep sensibility of the nation to the
tragic death of the late president. The
speaker appointed a committee,
headed by Mr.. Grosvenor, and then, as
further mark of respect the house
adjourned
The senate, listened to the first mes
sage of President Roosevelt yesterday
and directed the appointment Of a
committee to advise with like COM
m1ttee of the house, to consider by
what token of respect and affection
congress might express the sorrow of
the nation upon the tragic death of the
late President Mckinley. The mes
sage was delivered soon after the SEN
ate convened, the reading occupied
over two hours and was listened to
with great respect by the senators.
The first portion dealing with the Buff
falo tragedy excited the most pro-
found interest in the senate At the
close of the reading Foraker presented
the Mckinley resolution, and as a
further mark of respect the senate
adjourned.
President Roosevelt in his message
pays generous tribute to President
Mckinley, then turns to the subject
OF anarchy. denouncing its doctrines
and preachers. Great combinations
of capital, he declares, have come to
stay and the present problem is one
OF regulation. Publicity regarding
their operations is necessary to intel
ligent control. While opposing any
general tariff change he upholds the
principle of reciprocity. The presi-
dent declares that progress has been
made in the Philippines, but the
trouble is not yet ended, and addi-
tional legislation is needed. He fay-
ors the isthmian canal and stands by
the Monroe doctrine. Legislation for
the rehabilitation of the merchant
marine is urged.
