SENT HIS VOICE BY MAIL.
From the New York Mail.

This is a marvellous age we live in"
said a theatrical manager, land its
marvelousness was brought home to
me forcibly last week.
Il had written to a French tenor
and asked him what he would accept
to sing next season. His reply consist.
ed of letter and two cylinders"
:" I win come for ESQ a week. the
letter said; and / forward in another
package samples of my voice and of
my acting
THE larger cylinder was a phono-
graphic record of one of the tenor's
solo. The smaller one was a moving
picture film of him singing the solo.
Il took the two cylinders to a deal
er, and one we put in a phonogra phi,
the other in a moving picture machine.
Then we darkened the room and start
ed the machine and the photograph
simultaneously. l got from it almost
as satisfactory an idea of the mans
talent as / could have obtained if he
had visited me."-London Answers.

From the Philadelphia Record.
New York. Sept. lin accordance
with an annual custom, thin steel
chain was to-day stretched across the
hallway at No. 10 Wall street. and re-
NAMED there all day with an attache

down the chain. but whoever wished
could duck under it and enter the hall

Once a year. for a day, the owners of
the building stretch a chain across,
theoretically closing the passage and
thus preventing its being put down on

Let not hope die in the breasts Of
the hairless! If lotions have failed to
make hair grow where none grew be-
fore, there is still the faith cure that
may be resorted to. In New York the
other day a follower of one of the
faith cures testified before a lot of
believers" that, being bald, two or
three years ago, he prayed for a res
toration of the thatch on his Uranium,
in firm faith that it would be forth
coming; and, sure enough, hairs be-
gan to grow on his head. 1t was true
that he could show only twelve hairs
as the result of his prayers and faith,
but he was satisfied that if he lived
long enough his locks would be all
that he could desire. Along about
the year 2OO4 he ought to begin to
think Of investing in a comb and
brush.

According to the New York Tribune,
the bellboys of a certain hotel in that
city are all opposed to the candidacy
of Judge Parker because he failed to
tip them literally during his recent
visit to the metropolis. AS a matter
of fact, those bellboys have got no
business voting for Judge Parker, and
they ought naturally to vote the Re
publican ticket. The man who expects
to be paid for his vote, directly or in
directly, or whose political opinions
depend on how much he can make
them pay, is a Republican at heart
and by nature.

Speaking about Bohemians, they
must certainly exist in the New York
literary set. Here is an example: In
Justice Gaynor's court the other day
a woman applied for legal separation
from her husband. She told the court
that her husband was an author of
books and magazine writer for whose
services the magazines were constantly
clamoring. He was, therefore, in a
position to make good money But he
was too lazy to work and passed his
time in idleness. Indeed, he was too
lazy to change his underclothing
oftener than once in two months,
and to her knowledge he had not had
a bath since the summer of 1900. 1t
didn't take the court long to grant the
woman's request.

Why "Esopian silence" Brother Will
liams? Why not "Sagamore Hillish
Cor Hillian) silence?' Has Judge Par
ker been any more nearly silent than
President Roosevelt recently? Each
has made a notification speech and
each has written letter of acceptance.
Judge Parker's hasn't been made public
yet, it is true, and it won't be quite as
wordy as Roosevelt's: but there won't
be the least bit of silence in il. And
then that gold telegram; anything like
silence about that? "Esopian silence"
has something of the ring of novelty
about IT, to be sure; but as a matter of
fact the silence of Esopus exploded on
the concluding day OF the Democratic
National Convention. Several well
known politicians were bowled over
like ten-pins by the conclusion and the
reverberation made things rattle
throughout the whole country.

MIR. MORGAN AND THE STOLEN
COPE

Cable dispatches from Rome say
that the Italian newspapers are COM
menting with mingled surprise and
praise on the fact that ] Pierpont
Morgan will return to the Ascot
cathedral the now famous cope that
was stolen from the cathedral twelve
years ago and which was two years
ago. purchased by Mr.. Morgan and is
now on exhibition at the Kensington
Museum in London. But what did the
Italian newspapers expect; that Mr..
Morgan would continue to hold on to
the vestment, after he had discovered
that it was stolen property, or that
he would demand a ransom for it? It
may be that such things are done in
some countries of Europe, but in
America we hold that the man who
retains stolen property after he has
learned of the fact of it's theft is equal
ly guilty with the thief. Being an
honorable man, there was nothing left
for Mr.. Morgan to do but order the
restoration of the cope, under the cir
cumstances.
This particular vestment, known as
the Nicholas ". cope, is described as
being one of the richest of it's kind in
existence. 1t is a semi-circular cloak,
without sleeves, reaching from the
shoulders almost to the feet of the
wearer. 1t is fastened across the
breast with a clasp containing various
rich jewels. The material from which
it is made is heavy silk, and it is
embroidered with gold. The copes are
the most elaborate and magnificent of
all the vestments of the priesthood.
and the one that fell into Mr.. Morgan's
hands seems to be an exceptionally rich
and rare example.
The difficulty of the Nicholas ".
cope, by the way, illustrates the risks
that are run by rich collectors. They
pay fancy prices for rare objects, which
often turn out to be either spurious or
stolen. And, if we mistake not, Mr..
Morgan has on one or two other occa-
sions been vicitimized by dishonest ven
doris of pictures and other art works.

CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.

Every now and then some one rises to advocate
the Tacoma Ledger. Boys and girls of spirit are
generally inclined to assert themselves, and occas
ionaly in manner that disconcerts their elders,
even as their elders did those who came before
them. These boys and girls are always liable to
find the school room somewhat monotonous place,
purpose of breaking the monotony.
Naturally the teachers are dismayed. They be-
lieve, with the pope, that 'order is heaven first
law" and seek by one method or another to pre-
serve order In the old days this was done by means
of the hickory stick and the hickory stick still has
champions among those who believe that order in
the school room is the first essential
But corporal punishment in the school room is
based on false estimate of the value of school
education Boys and girls go to school, it is as
serted, for the purpose of learning to read and
write, to learn how to calculate and speak and
write the English language correctly and this can
not be accomplished unless order is preserved
1t is true that boys and girls go to school partly
for the purpose Of learning these things But the
main purpose OF education, the sole purpose of
true education, is the acquiring of character that
will stand the storm and stress of life One must
be developed at all points. One must have resolute
spirit. And corporal punishment is an evil be-
cause its natural tendency is to break the
spirit of the child upon whom it is inflicted
1t is impossible for one to have too much spirit
if he must combat the obstacles which life is sure
to put in his way, and the school room, if it would
be worthy of its mission, must foster and develop
not Destroy the force that is required to fight the
world battle.
1t is safe to assert that corporal punishment
is the refuge of none but dull teacher, and in
stead Of commencing the teacher who resorts to it.
as some are yet prone to do, it should be prima
face evidence that the teacher is incompetent to fill
his or her place. and the teacher should be dscharg
ed at once as hopelessly incompetent.

An item in the Maine September election that
escaped notice because of the larger interest in the
presidential campaign was the defeat of the pro
posed amendment to the constitution increasing the
pay of members of the legislature from $3.50 to
5000 There was no question as to the wisdom
of paying adequately for useful public service; the
voters simply declined to consider their legislators
seriously and voted down the proposal overwhelm.

Maine S lump sum of $3.50 for legislative term

islature ended session of loot by stealing for its
members all the state house furniture that could
be carted off, and most of the New York papers
regularly declare each new legislature in that state
to be worse than the last which means the worst
of all. Allowance must be made for the extrava.
