An American Woman's Retort,

Lord Sackville- West was never
much of a lover of America, and what
love he ever had was considerably
affected by his dismissal in disgrace
as British Ambassador in President
Clevelands administration.
Some time after his return he was
guest of honor at dinner which
was also attended by Lady Randolph
Churchill, now Mrs. CORVALLIS West,
who is an American. His lordship did
not air his personal grievances, but
he lost no opportunity of decrying
everything American. He was especi-
ally severe upon American table man
ners.
do you know" he remarked, that
] have seen Americans eating with
their knives and splitting their soup
on the tableclOth?"
Lady Randolph's eyes had flashed
several times during the dinner, but
this was little too much. She leaned
quietly toward the distinguished diplo-
mat, and remarked, in her cool, sar-
castle voice:
What poor letters of recommends
ton you must have had, my lord!"

Washington, Dec Io,-If anybody
thinks that. because il is the short
session, the session Of congress Just
opened is To be a tame and spiritless
affair. with nothing to do but pass the
appropriation bill and adjourn, they
are likely to wake up and find they
have been indulging in pipe dreams
Tho presidents message is crack full
of meat and will keep the members
quite busy disesting it,
A number of very important meas
ures We're carried over from the last
session, and some OF them will cause
wide discussion. Among these meas.
ures is one intended. SO its advocates
claim. to rehabnitate the American
merchant marine.
The bill passed the senate very ear
ly in the last session. but was held up
in the house committee, not. so ii Is
reported. because the committee op-
T-oSe6 the bill but because Speaker
Cannon lid not want ii reported. The
president, in his message, takes sig
nificant grounds in favor of the meas.
ure. and nearly all OF the commercial
organizations OF the country have
united in urging its passage.
So far as can be discovered, but two
elements are actively opposing the bill
Samuel iompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
the radical advocates Of river and
harhor improvements. Perhaps that
statement is not altogether correct,
and II would be better to say that
certain persons are endeavoring to use
the demand for enlarged appropria.
tioas for river and harbor work, as
club 70 defeat the merchant marine
bill. As to Gompers. he managed to
get the recent convention of labor to
adept resolution against the ship
hill. but it is in strong evidence that
neither Gompers nor the convention
truly represents the attitude of labor
on this question.
In this connection comes the story
of how Speaker Cannon got in a little
quiet revenge on Gompers. It will be
remembered that Gompers made him
self very active in trying to defeat
Uncle Joe at the late election. Com
pers claims to represent labor, and
that labor opposes the ship bill. On
the opening day of the session the
speaker, with a quiet but significant
smile presented more than 5000 peti-
tions from labor organizations asking
for the prompt passage of the senate
bill and as he has a few thousand
more of the same kind to present. it
speaks in very loud tones that Com
pers does not represent the labor ele-
ment

NiAUDE FEALY, A GIRLIsH STAR,
Young Actress Was Appreciated In
'The Illusion OF Beatrice"

A sweet, girlish star is Maude Fea-
ly. as she appeared last night in the
ILLUSION of Beatrice" AS such she
was warmly appreciated by the people
of Pendleton, Of which there were as
many as the theater would hold.
Those who attended the play last
night expecting to see a grand stage
beauty were naturally disappointed.
Maude ,Fealy is not that kind of a
star She is not a beauty at all. but
nevertheless she is beautiful, and II
is compliment to her to say that the
Partisan judges who saw her photo
must have looked beyond mere physi-
cal features when they awarded her
the prize.
She is a clever little actress and II
she is not one of the strongest twink
lers in the theatrical heavens, at
least she shines enough to reach the
hearts of those who see her play.
In the play last night the second
honors went to Jack Webster who
played the part of Arthur Jerome
Wilson. Harrington Reynolds as
John Stewart, was also good while
Joe Coughlin as Tim, the elevator
boy. was a big part Of the show him
self.
