THE PUBLIC SPEAKER.
Success in These Modern
Times.

The old days of spread eagleism"
are over. Mere rhetoric no longer
conviuces, if, indeed, it ever did. Sar-
casm is another cartridge that is
quite as likely to burst at one end as
the other. The professional vender of
"comic stories," too, carries about as
much conviction with him as a brass
band, and the savage partisan who
breaches on the text attributed to
Horace Greeley that every horse thief
is member of the opposite party
only hurts his cause, says Scribner's
Magazine.
After all, however, with perfect ar
rangements, attention and order, the
success of the speaker ultimately de-
ponds upon himself. If he desires per-
sonal popularity and the success OF
the evening, he will avoid serious ar
gument and hold the attention of his
audience by u succession Of anec-
iotes, apt, but not bitter, with good
natured ridcule, quip and gibe, and
confine himself to a general handling
of the subject not calculated to give
otfense.
If he regards his cause as more im-
portant than his personal success,
he will seek to hold the attention Of
his audience in the main, not by
tricks of oratory or eloquence, but by
plain, telling, pithy facts and figures,
clearly, fairly and succinctly stated,
but without abuse or invective. He
will combat the arguments of the OPP
position, neither by good-natured jest
nor by general denial, but by the
citation of official and incontrovert-
iblc information from the original
authorities. 1t is this speaker that
makes converts for his party-and
enemies for himself. He embitters
his antagonists because he does con-
vert.
The gift of CAB, pleasant ad-
dress and a newspaper scrap book
are all the preparations necessary for
the popular orator. The hardest kind
of hard work lies before the really
effective speaker.

CROWDING FOR APPLAUSE.
A Trick That II often Resorted To foS
Pr0ducIn. Enthusiasm In
an Audience.

American audiences are strangely
alike In some things, and strangely
dissimilar in Others. A good commit
| tee will take as much pains in the ar
rangcment of its audience as OF its
speakers. An audience seated with
out crowding is seldom enthusiastic.
Neither is an audience whose hands
are occupied with bundles or umbrel-
las, an audience largely composed OF
women, or an audience in cold room.
The easiest audiences to address, the
most responsive and inspiring, are
those composed of men, crowded and
packed together and warm, says .
writer in Scribners.
Women naturally do not applaud or
cheer. They are by instinct more self
restrained in the public expression OF
their emotions than men. Every pub
lie speaker is complimented by their
presence, knowing that their quiet
word at home is oftentimes more eff
fective in results than the most en-
thusiastic shouting on the street cor
htlS ny the Olltl ScA' III q PupiiS
meeting, however, the audience gets
its cue from those nearest the speak
er. l remember well two audiences,
both from the same social class, both
crowded, both in large theaters, and
both largely attended by women. One
happened to be in Colorado; one in
Massachusetts. In one meeting the
orchestra was reserved for women. In
the other meeting the men had the or
chestra 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 enthusi-
asm; the first one, by respectful at
tention. 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 galleries
who started to applaud were checked
because between them and the speak
ers was mass of absolutely silent
femininity in the orchestra. / do not
say that one meeting was less effective
than the other, but the difference
in the strain on the speaker was
marked.

MOUNTAINS OF BAGGAGE.
Tremendous Amount Ha die ID In On e
New York Railway STATION
In September.

Few persons appreciate the ire
mendous passenger business that is
being handled by the railroads. Here
is an illustration that will open the
eyes OF some:
For the first six days of September
there were received at the New York
Grand Central station, 34,259 pieces
OF baggage, an average of 5,700 pieces
per day. During the second week of
September the average YVES a little
over 5000 pieces per diem. The bag
gage came in SO rapidly and there
was such an amount of it to be
handled in a comparatively small
space that it was with the greatest
diihculty that the platforms were
Kept clear for incoming trains.
The first week in September is
always the heaviest week in the year;
50 many people returning on the
ilrst of September from the lake and
mountain resorts, in order to put the
children in school, that it makes an
immense traffic. The fact that this
great amount of baggage was handled
with reasonable promptitude, says
the Municipal journal and Engineer.
ana that very few trunks were either
lost or seriously damaged speaks vol
umes for the efficiency of our trans
portation lines.

The idea that a letter placed int

ian experimenter, Piscicelli by nam
SAYS the London Chronicle. The nea
est approach to the system is that
"telepherage," but here the rate
progression is, of course, relative
slow. In the case of the Piscice]
system it is intended that the lie

composed along wires arranged c
the overhead system analogous

EMPTY PIPE BRINGS SLEEP.
Odd Rem edy for Ins m n Ia Sugg e. d
by One Who Has Tested Its
Efficacy.

After giving fair and patient trial
to each of many alleged cures for
sleeplessness, the writer stumbled
across a simple method Of inducing
somnolence that has the merit of be-
ing harmless and inexpensive. To
smokers the remedy involves no cost
| whatever, but of non-smokers the cap
ital outlay of the price of pipe is re-
quired. 1t must be a wooden pipe, and
curved, not straight.
! Having retired for the night, the suf-
ferer should lie perfectly fiat on his
back, discarding pillow rests, and puff
steadily at an empty pipe until he feels
| thoroughly drowsy. The desired re-
suit usually is achieved after from
about 60 to 100 puffs have been made.
The putting should be done slowly, with
deep, inhaling movement. The ex-
pelling motions must be made delib-
erately with narrowed mouth. Dur
ing the entire operation the pipe should
not be removed, as each displacng and
replacing movement tends to wakeful-
ness.
Those capable of great concentra.
ton of thought should, if smokers,
imagine they see volumes of smoke,
and those who eschew the burning
weed will be helped by counting the
puffs.
AS sleep is often successfully wooed
while yet the pipe is in the mouth,
says the New York Mail and Express,
bowls of meerschaum or clay are not
recommended, since these are liable to
be broken when the coming of slumbeI
allows the pipe to slide from the
mouth. Nervous people may be reas-
sured that there is no danger in fall
ing asleep with the stem edge of a
curved pipe caught between ones teeth.
Sleep always causes the grip to be re-
Taxed. That may hold also of straight
pipes, but for other and obvious rea-
sons these are less suitable than those
with curved stems.

AMERICAN SOCIETY PROSPERS.
Women's Organization In London II
Seeking a New Home in
Piccadilly.

That famous organization called
the Society of American Women in
London, and known among It's mem
bers as the IS. A. w. L." is about
to make another step in advance and
is looking about for a home in the
vicinity OF Piccadilly.
The organization is representative
of the best of social life in the per-
manent American colony in London,
estimated somewhere between $4,000
and 10000 persons. Much of the So
ciety's activity has been due to the
tact and energy of the president
Mrs. Hugh Reid Griffin. 1t is a source
of great regret to the society that
by the terms of its constitution Mrs.
Griflin's tenure of office as president
is nearly over. She cannot be re-
elected again. She will probably be
succeeded by Mrs. Glyndes, who as
Ella Dietz Clymer was the first pres
ident of Sorosis.

letter which he received last week:

MY Lord Bishop: We venture re-
spectfully to draw your lordship's a.
tention to the fact of the socalled re-

extent the distress Of the clergy, who
feel keenly this infringement of the
marriage law in tbs diocese, and may
also lead others to realize how serlors
breach Of church discipline is inv9iv-
ed in such proceeding.

Chancellor Assumes Blame.
After reading this letter, the bishop
of London declared that It was hardly
necessary Tor him to state that evel
without the above letter the matter
would have been investigated at once.
But this morning he had telegraphed
the chancellor of the diocese, who
came to see him. and said, first, that
he was the guilty part; second, that
he was Obliged by law to give his IL
Icense if the tssties could find a clergy
man TO marry them; third, that this
license went out in the name of the
chancellor, and not in that Of the
bishop and fourth, that his (the chan
cellor's) jurisdiction was entirely in
dependent of the bishops. He (the
bishop made nc comment on these
facts, but said that when he had a
chance of interviewing the clergymen
OF the church, as he would have, he
hoped, within the next twenty-four
hours. he would then state his opin.
ion of the whole matter.
