Orators of Two Nations.

Harper'S Weekly.
The men who enter parliament and
the men whom you find on the plat
forms have for the most part received
the best education that England can
supply. They are, therefore. naturally
disposed toward a fairly high standard
of oratory, a stately and dlgnlfleo
standard, at any rate. Also, they come
to close quarters with their subject.
Their speeches are packed full Of meat.
They excel in concrete, precise work,
| and are not afraid of dry details. They
rarely generalize, and one may say they
| are never forid or ~bombastic. They
have a strong turn for exposition, and
like to hammer things out. They are
usually didatic. All Englishmen are.
If they are not preaching themselves
they like to list-n to some n who is.
It is a habit not without it's unfortu-
nate side. 1t leads Englishmen at times
TO address an audience as though they
| were professors lecturing a class. One
! detects in some of them a note Of POM
| posity or condescension that Americans
! would not stand for a moment, any
more than Englishmen would stand a
tempestuous fury of the Bourke Cock
e species.
They have not the flexibility of
French orators, and are nothing like so
we'll versed in the mechanics of their
craft as Americans. The latter feel the
pulse of their audience more exactly,
are more quickly sensitive. and. being
in absolute sympathy, with those in
front of them. have a freshness and
ease and colloquial responsiveness that
Englishmen rarely master. Their touch
too is liter and more deft.
On the other hand English speakers
are more restrained and possibly more
thoughtful; they are much more intent
On reason and argument than on decla-
nation. But as they mostly have the
national ahbit Of spelling sound ideas
by a prosy and pointless way of put
ting them, this does not count so heav-
lily in their favor as it should. I have
sat under scores of orators in both
countries, and my general impression
is that Englishmen give you more and
entertain you less. You u ~considera-
BILE risk Of being instructed at an Eng
lish meeting and more often bored. In
America there is not much danger Of
either fate-none at all, indeed, Of the
latter.

NEW Y0RK'S JEwELRY DISPLAY.
Magnificent, Dazzling Sights That Roy
atty Can Hardly Match.

New York Sun.
A sight that impresses, even aston
ishes, strangers in New Y~ork-stran-
gers from foreign lands as we'll as
from other parts of the country-is
the magnificent display Of jewelry at
restaurants, at every place, in fact,
frequented by the public.
At the Metropolitan Opera house in
particular on a regular subscription
night %coronets, tiaras, collars, neck
ties, ropes, centuries, stomachers, daZ-
cling in their b~rilliancy are as plentl-
full as if made Of glass and it does not
take the eye Of a connoisSeur either to
see that millions of dollars are repre-
Sented in them or, for that matter,
in the jewels alone which shine from
the boxes bordering the horseshoe. The
sight is certainly we'll worth seeing
and one of which New York ought to
be more or less proud. But as a rule
the average New Yorker views the dis
play more or less calmly, almost indif-
ferently.
The fact is that SO gradually ear by
year has the splendor Of it increased
that New Workers are slower to ap-
preciate than are strangers, a magnifl-
cence that can hardly be outdone the

opera manners may leave something
to be desired, but her jewels, nothing.
1t was only the other night that g
traveller Of undoubted authority, lately
returned from visiting some of the
largest capitals of the world, remarked
concerning the jewels shown at the
Metropolitan:
n where else on earth can it be
equalled. Even London and Paris are
not in it with New York"
fortunately" asserted a jewel Spe-
cialist, Americans are ordinarily fond
Of fine jewels and they are now among
the best customers of the trade. Moth
ing but the very best satisfies them.
L do not say that there are not peo-
pie on the other side Of the ocean
equally a~ppreciative. The trouble is
that just now there seems to-be fewer
women of the younger generation in
Europe with big sums of money to
spend for ornamets than there are
over here.
Then, as I have already limited, a
favorite medium whereby the Ameri-
cans make known their riches is by
precious stones. Almost invariably the
first thing an American woman who
finds a large sum at her disposal does
is to buy some diamonds. Later she
may turn her attention TO other jewels
but diamonds always leS,d."
One of the best known experts in
precious stones in this ; country made
two interesting statements the other
day; first, that more diamonds have
been imported into th9. United States
in the last 80 years THAN were mined
in two centuries previous. and second,
that during the year, 1901 more pre-
cious stones were seElt to New York
than reached here frdm 1856 to 1866 or
in any two years since.

ONE DEMURRER SUSTAINED.
Court 0Verules Second One In Case OF
Buccl Against Waterman.

An opinion was filed today In the appel
late division OF the supreme court In the
case of Dominica Bucci. pro ami. against
Thomas w. Waterman, which was heard
recently on the defendant - demurrer TO
the plaintiffs declaration.
The plaintiffs declaration Is In two
counts, alleging In substance that the
plaintiff. n x-year-old lad was riding
on the defendants low gear and the
driver put him off, and was so negligent
In doing so that the boy fell beneath the
wheels OF the wagon and was run over
and permanently injured
The second part alleged that because OF
the boys tender years II was the duty
OF the defendant and his agent to give
the boy an opportunity 10 get off without
injury, but instead, he. without stopping
the team, disconnected him so that he
fell to the ground.
The defendant demurs to both counts
on the grounds that the count does not
set forth any duty from the defendant TO
the plaintiff that has been violated.
The supreme court has decided the de-
murrer TO the first count is sustained. but
has overruled the demurrer to the second
count.

General Organizer Lawrence A. Grace
visited the Eastern offices yesterday af-
ternoon and discussed the matter with
r. B. Little and other representatives OF
the company, but without attaining any
satisfactory results.
The Transfers union held a meeting
Ia Gaspee hall last evening and Il was
decided 10 have all OF the men go back
TO their work this morning In all of the
yards except those OF the Eastern Coal
company.
This decision Is not to be construed IA
the declaration OF a strike against the
Eastern Coal company. because the
agreement signed includes the Eastern
company.
The decision was made because there
seemed no other course TO be taken until
the present difficulty is settled.
A VERBAL AGREEMENT.
The strikers claim that there was a
verbal agreement that all hands should
have their old positions, after the agree
ment had been signed.
Unfortunately for the strikers this
agreement was not In black and white,
and now the Eastern company officials
declare there was no such agreement.

ing with The News representative, stated
that international PRESIDENT bNahs Oh

everything would straighten out salts

President Evans left town yesterday

pressed that he had information OF what
