Phillips Brooks Silence.

Bishop Brooks Of Boston OCCASION
ally used to surprise those not intim-
ately acquainted with him by sitting
silently while conversation was GO
ing on around him briskly. The
bishop explained his rather unwont-
ed taciturnity by relating that on one
occasion while seated in railroad
train opposite an intelligent-looklng
man the latter seemed about to say
something. II beg your pardon"
said the bishop, were you about to
make a remark?" NO." was the re-
ply. "Oh, thought you looked as If
you were going to say something to
me-" answered the bishop apologeti-
cally. "Yes, am said to be very de-
ceptive that way. used to say things
and make remarks as soon as
thought them. have often thought
l had something to say and discov-
cred after had said IL that ought
to have kept silent" And the bishop
would conclude his story by saying:
II have found myself in the same
position more than once, so | do not
speak until l am reasonably sure
that l have something to ay."-Chi-
cago Chronicle

Why Hay Got No War News.

In the summer of the commence
ment of the Russo-Jap war the late
Secretary of State John Hay came to
his summer home az Lake Sunapee
for a few days rest. Naturally. 1t
was important for him to have close
and constant communication win
the outside world, and arrangements
had accordingly been made for tele-
grams to be sent up to him from the
telegraph office.
AS the situation of the eastern af-
fairs became more tense and exciting
Secretary Hay was expecting very
important communications, but none
came. A day went by, and no word.
The next morning a messenger was
dispatched early to see If there was
any message.
NO." said the operator. there IL
none"
But has none Gomez" he was
asked.
We'll, one came yesterday, but
there was no sense tc 1t, so did not
send 1t up"
The message had come in cipher.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.
Lord Roberts Was One of the First
Men to Receive IL.


Fifty years ago Queen Victoria
founded the famous order of the Vic
troia Cross. The little bronze en-
blcm bearing the words For Valor"
still remains the most famous naval
and military decoration in the world.
Up to the present $40 sailors and
soldiers, including three civilians,
acting for the time as combatants,
have received Queen Victoria's Cross.
One of the first men to receive the
decoration was Lord Roberts, of
Kandahar, who saved a flag during
the mutiny, forty-seven years ago.
Lord Roberts is the only man in the
world who possesses two Victoria
crosses. The second was won by his
son in his heroic efforts to save the
guns at Colenso during the Boer war.
Lieutenant Roberts died of his
wounds, and the cross he had won at
the cost Of death was given by the
late Queen to Lord Roberts, who is
entitled to wear the reward of his
sons bravery on his right breast.
Some of the exploits which led to
the reward of the cross For valor"
are absolutely amazing. During a
campaign it is the ambition of every
British officer and man to earn the
Victoria Cross, and the reckless
bravery displayed during the South
African war led to reprimand from
headquarters, many gallant men
needlessly throwing away their lives.

Origin of st. Maurice.

ST. Maurice in Switzerland is the
name of a little station on the rail-
way that leads up the Rhone valley
from the lake of Geneva The place
gets its name as follows: Maurice
was the officer, second in command
of the Thebaic legion, when the En-
peror Macmillan marched over the
Alps in A. D. 500 TO quell a rising in
Gaul. At Octodurum (Martigny)
the legion, every man of which was a
Christian, was ordered to sacrifice to
the Roman gods for the success of
the expedition. Headed by Maurice,
they refused, marched off to Agaun-
um (St. Mauricel, and there were
twice decimated 10 enforce submis-
sion. But they still refused, and fin
ally the remainder were surround
ed and cut down by the rest of the
army.

The Shah of Persia in Russia.

The Shah of Persia is man Of
moods and his visits are not always
unmixed joys at the courts he hon
ors. On the occasion of his recent
stay In ST. Petersburg his peculiari-
lies gave infinite trouble to the Rus
sian court officials. One of his most
trying ldiosyncracies is his habit Of
occasionally going to bed for twenty
,our hours at stretch. giving strict
orders that he is not to be disturbed
under pain of death. More than once
the days selected were those on
which special festivities had been ar
ranged in his honor AS a matter of
TACT his majesty, wEo is devoted to
children, preferred falf an hour with
the little grand duchesses to any
other entertainment, and won the
rhiidrca's hearts by letting them play

monds and other precious stones,
which is said to be worth a kings

TWO VIEWS OF CURzoN.
He Is an Unbroken Colt, Or a
Genius: Take Your Choice

Genius; Take Your Choice.
Now that Lord Curzon is no longer
Viceroy the Indian press is paying its
respects and disrepects to him with
great freedom.
An ex-president OF the National
Congress says that Lord Curzon de-
parted the shores of India "unwept,
unhonored and unsung." Those who
did him reverence we're his unQuali-
fed pangyrists, "the men who had
blinded their eyes and stuffed their
ears with cotton all the time that
there was going on most unequal
and deplorable struggle between the
people, the educated classes speci-
ally, on the one side, and the un-
bridled and irresponsible autocrat
on the other"
He then proceeds to characterize
the ex-Viceroy as one utterly with
out modesty, and blowing his own
trumpet. "He carried about him."
says the writer, throughout his
viceregal career the impetuosity OF
the boy at Elton and all the insobriety
and immaturity which accompany
youth. The fact is. he was an unbro-
ken colt. He conjured himself as an
autocrat ruling larger population
than that of the Car of All the Rus
sias. He pictured himself as one who
blended a Tiberius and SULLIVAN the
Magnificent into one"
On the other hand. an equally de-
cided article in the Calcutta Review
declares that ut would be hard to
find another ruler who combines in
himself all those qualities, mental
and moral, which Lord Curzon
brought to bear on the difficult task
of governing vast country like In
dla, and that 1t is no disrespect to
Lord Mimic to say that he does not
possess the genius with which his
predecessor was gifted"

Dried Milk I'm Australia.

Australia has adopted the system
Of drying milk, which originated In
England. The milk is dried between
steam rollers and sold as a powder,
from which nothing but water has
been extracted, and to which moth
Ing but water requires to be added.
A leading medical officer is reported
to have said that the adoption Of
dried milk at some of the asylums
for consumptive patients and in gen.
eral hospitals has proved a success.

Curious Legal Custom.

A curious custom is in vogue In
many parts of India. If a dispute
arises between two landowners two
holes are dug close together, in each
of which defendants and plaintiffs
lawyers have to place a leg. They
have to remain thus until either one
of them is exhausted or complains Of
being bitten by insects, when he is
judged to be defeated and his en-
ployer loses his case.

SHAW RAISES ROW
IN P|TTSbURG

PITTSBURG, Pa, Nov. 26.-Secretary
of the Treasury Shaw. who came 10
Pittsburg today to inspect sites Tor
postoffice building, left for Washington
tonight after a strenuous day, IN whlch
he travelled over a great deal OF the
center of the city and held meetings
with the representatives of the various
business mems organizations, which
were characterized by heated argu-
ments, in which the Presidents CAB
met officer did not hesitate to express
himself At one of the meetings the
Secretary snapped his fingers in the
face of H. d. w. English, president Of
the local Chamber of Commerce. who
left the hearing. declaring it was
farce.
After viewing the various sites Of
fered, Secretary Shaw announced that
he would issue a statement on the
matter after he had reached Washing
ton.
The Secretary's visit today was the
result of vigorous protests made
against his selection of site for the
new postoffice building, and against
which the Government had begun con-
demnation proceedings. These latter
proceedings were stopped when the pro-
tests reached the Secretary, indorsed
by a local Congressman, and 1T was an
nounced that the site selected by the
Secretary had been offered to the Gov :
ernment at double the amount for
which 1t was assessed
The San Francisco call., 1906-11-27

Nancy SYKES long before either Leah
kleschna or Nance Olden was staged
as female delinquent"
In the play last evening we were
shown how Tom Dorgan, the criminal
companion of Nance Olden-and no
closer relationship existed between
them, we were early given to under
stand-was caught while attempting
to rob the house of Latimer, the man
who had befriended the girl. Dorgan
is sent TO jail, Nance enters vaudeville
and Latimer asks her to marry him,
but she refuses, believing that duty
demands her devotion to Dorgan in his
trouble. The escape of Dorgan and
his appearance at her home convinces
her that Latimer holds her heart. She
refuses to return to the crooked way
and Dorgan is about to murder her
when Latimer saves her. Dorgan de-
nounces her as his accomplice. and
both are taken to the police station,
where her pleadings force him to ad-
nit that she was in nowise connected
with his Jail break or his life after it
was effected When the final curtain
comes we know that Latimer and his
convert are to marry and leave New
York.
Miss Jessie Busley as Nance is the
most interesting figure of the group
of clever actors. She may or may
not be the same in all her attributes
as the Nance of the novel-that de-
pends upon the temperament of the
reader and the mental picture uncon-
sciously suggested by the author. But
this is certain. her embodiment of the
character is as real as flesh and blood
can make 1t, and as attractive as 1t
is convincing. She moves through a
series of scenes illustrating successive
ly some phase of the thief's regenera-
tion, and while they are not all taken
from the original story, they are true
to its spirit and entirely entertaining
Her youth, comeliness and natural vi
vacity serve well her bravado in the ear
lier acts, and in the final scenes with Dor
gan she is a revelation of quiet emo
tional power, refreshingly in contrast
to the violent hysteria or lachrymose
winnings with which ever so many ac-
tresses less blessed with poise and
sense of dramatic values would invest
the reading and the conduct of the part
She fairly makes yousache with sus-
pense as the climaxes impend, and her
facial expression a. all times is mag
netic.
Mr.. Byron Douglas as Latimer has a
good stage presence and is earnest and
capable and a splendid reader. Mr.
Keane makes Dorgan a revoltingly
entertaining character, and Mr.. Reeds
comedy as genteel inebriate is effec-
tive. Also in the extensive cast are
Lavinia Shannon, Rose Eytinge, Mary
Faber and other people of national rep
utation, and all of them score surely
1t would be no exaggeration to say
that no better balanced coterie of play
ers have appeared here since we had
