Senator Hoar as an Orator.

Senator Hoar's position is almost
unique in the circumstances that he ha-
waited for his advanced years before
acquiring wide fame as an orator He
was long prior to this recognized as
senator of a high order of debating tall
ent, but in eloquence and elegance of
speech his mind has ripened of recent
years. Nature has never gifted him
with the orators voice, but this draw
back has been less apparent as the at
tention of audiences has been concen-
trated on what he says. Mr.. Hoar's hui
NOR also has had freer play of late on
occasions in which his feelings have not
been SO earnestly appealed to. We can
call to mind no man now in public life
who writes so gracefully as he. OF whose
more careful passages of speech are so
effective as rhetoric. He has just de-
livered two addresses in Washington OF.

the curb or out. The steel we'll spout
is so shaped that the well bucket can be

contrivances for raising it from the

business in the good old way. In the

Passing of the Well Sweep.

In the course of a twenty mile walk
along country reads in southern Con-
necticut there were seen by a visiting
New Yorker recently only two well
sweeps, once as common a feature of
the landscape there as windmills are in
Holland. There were found a number
of wells of the ordinary kind, with two
buckets at the end of a rope running on
a wheel, and one or two wells of the
windlass kind, with a bucket at the end
of rope wound up on roller by the
turning of a crank. but in most cases
the old oaken bucket, in whatever man
ner it may have been used, had been
supplanted by the chain pump.
AT one of the wells at which, in the
course of this walk, the two well sweeps
were encountered there was found fixed
in the well curb a steel spout. The old
fashioned well spout, 1t will be remem-
bered, was of wood and commonly so
formed that care had to be used In

Intention of Western Federation of
Miners.

Denver, Colo Nov 2S-After
spending most of the morning discus
sing the matter, the executive COM
mittee of the Western Federation of
Miners decided that it would not allow
the former Snuggler- Union employees
to scatter, but would provide for their
maintenance in Telluride Indefinite
ly. The federation believes that the
closing of the Smuggler mine for an
indefinite was inspired by the belief
of its management that its former
employees would leave for San Miguel
county, and the course adopted by
the federation resolved itself into a
counter movement intended to nullify
the effect of the company's policy.
