Mayor leischmann sat at the Presi- dents right and Senator Foraker at his left Owing to the Presidents engage ment to speak at Music hall 1t was neces- sary to rush the latter course of the repast, and there was no speech-making.

FACTS IN MODERN FICTION
BV JOHN p. FOLEY.

Tn one of the new September novels, which has just come from the presses of an eminent publishing house. the ques- ton of the future government of the re- public Is elaborataly diseussed-perhaps 1t would be more correct to say talked about in a diffuse and not very profound style-and the ambitious young author through the medium Of one of his char acters, propounds for adoption some changes in the structure of the federal machinery. which he believes are so rad ical that they will never be made This is one of the amusing features of the workmanship for the reason that the iconiclastic ideas and suggestions which he supposes to be entirely original with himself the wise conclusions resulting from deep study and reflections upon the workings of republican and democratic institutions. are, one of them at least, as old as the federal constitution itself. 1t is amazing that a book firm, with a reputation to sustain, should have al- lowed a work of this character to bear the imprint of it's name, that its literary advisers know so little about American tOHbtiN0NAOtlaA ao u HI tHeiRAD to see the egregious errors Into which the writer had fallen.
 The first of these blunders has to do with the exalted office of the presidency, the history of which should be familiar to every American, who claims to be well informed with respect to his own country and more especially familiar to a novel; ist, who poses in the attitude of a public instructor, and reformer of government in general. How Is 1t with the jeJune fiction producer under consideration, and whose name we shall In mercy to him withhold? Well, the first thing that strikes his fertile imagination concerning the great proposition is that the term of the President is entirely too short, while seeond terms are al. wrong, and should be abolished. Six or eight years, he as- sures us should be the limit, with pro- vision against re-elgibility. Many pages of good paper. and much ink of good quality. are devoted to the elaboration of these theories, which our author thinks

 A microscope was at once procured, with an outfit of objeotives from 60 to 100 diameters, and in an hours time knew more about bird flights than twen- ty-fiye years of study had given me.
 The disoolorations extended along each spicule between the plates. The downy famepts filling .ne double wall struc- ture of the wings were stained in the same unusual manner This stain, when scraped off and examined. resembled soot from stovepipe, showing that the air had been going through the wing in an incessant stream, carrying the smoke and carbon particles of the fire with 1t. had been the slave of precon- ceived ideas.

 They consist of a quil1 and two vanes made up of spicules. between which are the plates. The plates cross a channel about one-fortieth of an inch wide, made by the spicules. There are about l0O0 or them to the inch, being practically in- numerable. and they are located at the outer surface, filling about one-fifth part of the depth of the channel. They are about the twenty-thousandth part of an inch thick, as nearly as an amateur with microscope could determine, so that nineteen-twentieths of the space of the channels is open to lne passage of air.
 The mechanical service of the plates Is obvious The curve impinges against the air current through the feathers and drives the bird to the front. Pressure produced by the normal factor of weight is thus made to serve as the motive mower If f1iQhf

leap of the stocks, caused by the Gates party endeavoring to seize control and the rightful parties in control endeavor- ing to protect themselves. At such times there are always minor shareholders who realize the bids for stock are far beyond their values and they hasten to benefit by the gladiatorial conflict. But there are many hundreds who content with their investment hold their stock. Many of them are residents at points too dis tant from the scene of action to sell if they would and there are many who only decide to sell after the battle has been decided. The wild fiuctauons which attend these fights for control' disturb the small investors. They become uneasy in their holdings.
 The much Haunted exploits of Mfr. Gates at the race track and the gambling house, as the winner and loser of large sums of money, may possess for the tout and the piker the Vaccinations of lurid and fashy literature. but they scarcely appeal to the widow investing her husbands life insurance money or to the industrious and frugal merchant seeking investment for hard-earned sav- ings. It would not have been agreeable news to have learned that this Wall street Claude Duval, fresh from plungtng at the Saratoga race track, had suc- ceeded into forcing himself with his mer ny men into the directory of Colorado Fuel and Iron. Those who have invested in this property have done so largely knowing that John Cleveland Osgood had promoted. organized and managed 1t successfully. What would the sensa ton be to find at midnight an intruder seated at one's bedside holding ones property in his lap? It would not be at all unlike that, a small holder of Colo rado Fuel and Iron would experience, in finding John W. Gates in control. Large corporations always have small share holders, and their entire security is in the honor, integrity and high minded ness of the board of directors. The fight John Cleveland Osgood made to save his property from Gates entities him to the respect and thanks of small investors everywhere.

the American people are now hearing ex- pounded for the first time. Now, the fact Is that these -philosopical specu- lations were mopted in the latter quar- ter of the century before the last one. so that they are as venerable in point of years as Is the great grandfather of their modern diseoverer. They were all proposed, in one form or another, in the convention that framed the constitution, and thrown into the wastepaper basket. To the fathers of the republic, who knew perhaps, more about government than did all their predecessors and successors thus far combined 1t appeared more wise to institute the single term of four years with the implied understanding that the chief magistrate, if he were sat isfaetorg, might have a second term. and 1t nl y be a third one, although they dis creetly said nothing about 1t.
 Another Idea put forth by the enthus- iastc romancer, who seems to imagine that the world has been anxiously await ing his advent through all the centuries and which must be adopted in his opin- ion, if we would perfect our imperfect governmental system. is that members of the cabinet should be allowed to have the privilege of going on the floor Of congress. and giving their views upon things in general, and the administra- tion Of their departments in particular.
  ed as the preceding one. but 1t has t fair portion of departed time to it's credit having been made when George Wash ington was in the third year of his first administration. It then got to the legisla- tive stage of having a vote taken upon its acceptance or rejection and only eleven gentlemen pronounced in favor of it. A generation or so ago, 1t was again brought forward, and received scant con- sideration. except in the circles of long haired men and short-haired women. But 1t was entirely original with this pin feathered twentieth century novelist. and is put forth with all the buoyant con- fidence of great discoverer, and the joyous exuberanee of a fiction manufac- turer with a mission to benighted man. kind Pity is it to sweep away all this beautiful creation of throbbing brain, on fire with the lofty purpose of herald ing and ushering in the political millen- ium. but in the interest of historical truth must it be done.
