AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
Men and Women and Their Effect
Upon Public Meetings.

Upon Public Meetings.
American audiences are strangely
alike in some things and strangely dis
similar in others. A good COMMITTEES
will take as much pains in the ar.
rangement of it's audience as of its
speakers. An audience seated without
crowding is seldom enthusiastic. Mel
Their is an audience whose hands are
occupied with bundles Or umbrellas. an
audience largely composed of ONE
or an audience in a cold room. The
easiest audiences to address, the most
responsive and inspiring, are those
composed of men crowded and packed
together and warm.
Women naturally do not applaud or
cheer. They are by instinct more self
restrained in the public expression of
their emotions than e Every public
speaker is complimented by their pres
ence, knowing that their quiet word at
home is oftentimes more effective in
results than the most enthusiastic
shouting on the street corners by the
other sex. In q public meeting, how
ever, the audience gets it's cue, from
those nearest the speaker. l remember
well two audiences, both from the
same social class. both crowded, both
in large theaters and both largely at
tended by women. One happened to be
in Colorado. one in Massachusetts. In
one meeting the orchestra was re-
served for women. In the other meet
ing the men had the orchestra and the
women had the lower gallery and all
the boxes. In both cases the audiences
were entirely friendly to the speakers.
The second meeting was marked by
wild enthusiasm. the first one by re-
spectful attention. In the second case
the mass of men in the orchestra urged
on the speakers by continued applause.
In the first case the men in the CALLER
les who started to applaud were
checked because. between them and
the speakers was a mass of absolutely
silent femininity in the orchestra. l do
not say that II meeting was less eff
fective than the other, but the differ

Fighting Fire. W
Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 18.-A fire
which broke out in the freight depot of
the Southern Railway at Pell City,
fi~fty-four miles east of here, was fol-
lowed by a terrific explosion which re.
suited in two persons being killed and
ten injured, two perhaps fatally. The
dead are j. D. Hall, merchant, Pell
City, and Thomas Whitfield.
When the fire was discovered the
night operator gave the alarm by re.
peatedly firing a revolver. This
aroused the citizens, who ran to the de-
pot to help save the freight. The fact
was overlooked that fifty cases of
dynamite were stored in the place and
the explosion occurred while a large
crowd of citizens and railroad men
were near the scene. Ten business
houses, including the Pell City hotel,
were also wrecked, causing a heavy
loss. Two freight trains on the sid.
ing e gotten away in time to save
them. Several of the injured were

"and l base my denial on evidence
