ACCENT NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Otis Skinner Unsuccessful In Foostse
Enqlishman


1t is a common experience OF
American tourists to be recognized at
once as Americans when in England.
and the readiness of the English In
letting one know that he is stamped,
as it were, with the word America is
often annoying, no matter how patriot
ic one may be, says Ethel Shackel-
ford, in Lippincott's. For this reason
1t often happens that tourists affect an
English accent for the time being.
When Mr. and Mrs. Otis Skinner were
abroad last summer they grew very
weary of having things explained to
them as though they were foreigners
and unable to understand the English
language. Mr.. Skinner was not ir-
clined to go into shop in Warwick
one day SO that Mrs. Skinner might
inquire the price of something in the
window which caught her fancy; he
insisted that the clerk would instant
ly class his voice as American, or his
clothes, or something. and it was all
so tiresome.
"Why don't you use that wonderful
stage English accent of yours and fool
the MANI" suggested the clever wife.
The idea was good one. and Mr..
Skinner smiled and went in confident
ly, asling-with the rising infection
and true British casual manner-the
price of his wares. Mrs. Skinner was
charmed with the art of performance.
This ere one. sir!" asked the
shopkeeper. "Well, SIT, hit sells for
four shillings, sir, which is habout one
dollar in your money. sir"

ASSAILS THE TARIFF.
Rucker of Missouri Declares for
Bryan and Low Tariff.


Washirgton.-In the House Tuesday
Mr.. Rucllcr of Missouri brought forth
arguments designed to sustain the
Democratic idea of tariff for revenue
only and he closed with the prediction
teat these ideas would prevail, with W.
j. Bryan as the standard bearer in the
next campaign.
Comparing the increase in the pro
ducts of the farm and the factory and
the value of productive and industrial
property under high and low tariffs
Mr. Rucker drew the conclusion that
the lower the tariff the greater had
been the increase of wealth; that since
1850 the tariff had been made highc'
and the increase of production had
been less.
Turning his attention to the tariff on
Mergenthaler typesetting machines
Mr.. Rucker said it had been determ'
ined that these machines could be pro
duced for $500 and yet they were sold
for $4,000 because of the tariff There
were 10000 publications in this coun-
try affected by this price. Thousands
of petitions from editors had been sent
to the present Congress urging the re
moval Of this prohibitory and monopo'
listic duty"

PosToFFIcE FOR DENVER.
Senate Committee Recommends Large
Appropriation.

Washington.-In his report upon the
Dill TO appropriate S2,300,000 for a new
federal building at Denver, Senator
Warren presented the following facts:
The present public building in Den
yer was authorized under an act of
May ., 1882. The building was not
competed until 1893, and before it was
occupied 1t was found that the city
had grown to such an extent that the
building was not nearly large enough
to accommodate the federal business.
The inadequacy Of the present build
ing at the time it was first occupied
was due to the rapid growth of the city
ana surrounding country after au-
thority for construction of the build
ing was given and before it could be
used.
1t is estimated that when the orig
inal bill was passed. in 1882, Denver
had population of less than 10000.
BY 1890 the number had increased to
1O6,OOO and to over 1873 900 in 1900 and
there had been corresponding growth
in the population of the state of Colo
rado and the entire Rocky mountain
region contiguous to that city. The re-
suit was an expansion of business far
in excess of the calculations of the
designers of the original building and
failure of the structure from the be-
ginning to meet the demands upon it.
The growth of the city and contiguous
country has continued since the occu-
pancy of the present building in 1898
until now it is conservatively calcu
lated that the city has a population of
1750OO.
The consequence is that there is a
crowding together in public offices of
officials employees and papers that
should not be permitted, with conse-
quent congestion of business that is
appalling.
"Outside the federal building, To-
Gated in different portions o' the city,
more or less remote, are offices Of the
United States district attorney, sur
'veyor gensral's Office, United States
land offices, War Department head
quarters. department of Colorado, the
United States geological survey, recla-
nation service, forestry division and
pension Offices"
The report quotes the recommends
ton of the secretary of the treasury
for new building, who states:
ut is estimated that a four-story
and basement building of $4,000
square feet ground area will be suffi-
cient, and that fireproof building of
the dimensions indicated will cost ST.
100000. 1t is estimated that a suitable
lite can be secured for from S500,000
to SSOO,000 additional.
Comparison of Denver's postoffice
facilities with those of other western
cities will be most interesting in this
connection.
dallas, with a population of 2,63S,
has postoffice building occupying a
full block front and from twice to
three times as large as the present
postoffice building in Denver.
"Kansas City has a postoffice build
ing four or five times as large as
Denver's.
'The Omaha and Salt Lake post
office buildings are two or three times
as large as the Denver postofiice
building."

shonts on Panama Canal.

Washington. - Chairman Theodore
p. Shonts of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission, under examination all day by
the Senate canal committee, answered
questions technical and personal CON
cerning the plans for the construction
of the great waterway and his rela-
tions to the organization. incidentally
he left the inference that he would
gladly sever his connection with the
Glover Leaf Route if this was de-
manded, but that he would not take
his family to the isthmus. He gave
former Chief Engineer Wallace good
record ard said he was entitled to con
sideration in the matter of taking his
family to the isthmus.
Mr.. Shonts closed by urging Con
gress to take action immediately on
the type of canal to be CONSTRUCTED. He
said that economical procedure on the
part of the canal commission de
manded such action.

orchard Marked for Death.

Portland, Ore. = The Oregonian
prints a special from it's correspondent
at Boise. Idaho, which states in sub
stance that the inner circle" of the
Western Federation of Miners did not
confine itself to the murder of non
union miners and state officials, but
that the tools who committed these
crimes were themselves victims of the
"inner circle" Orchard was one OF
the tools marked for destruction, and
the confession Of Steve Adams is said
to show that Orchard had been shad-
owed for a long time. 1t is not believed
that Orchard knew that he was under
suspicion, but there is every reason
to believe that he stood in fear OF
death at the hands of those by whom
he was employed.

Let the teacher of rhetoric say how grace and elegance of dietion can be taught in a parallel case. The teacher must by example tell the story as best he may. The strongest of the class may present it better. Whatever is best serves as an effort in the most excellent direction obtainable and serves as a guide in the safest if not the most perfect di- rection. It Is not supposed that per lection can be placed before the av- craze class. but cultivation of the right points of view ought to be with in the teachers effort.
 Picturing King Canute.
 King Canute offers a theme for dramatic action and much ingenuity. Quite too difficult if perfection of drawing and detail were insisted upon. but the component forms are not so much more exacting than those of seemingly less difficult story pictures. It is always to be remembered that youth has the courage that experience destroys, and that its self-relianee should not be spoiled by the con- servatism of mature caution. The theorist in ehildrens education who reasons that no restraint should he put a oh ;e, n error as the pedagogue who builds step by step an expression founded upon his own lack of youthfuls en- thusiasm. Take the enthusiasm and let it vault. but let it vault in the right direction. Often this direction can be made sufficiently attractive.
 The symbol forms for the picture of King Canute are given, but much latitude should be allowed in their Use. The relation of the king on his throne in the sea attempting to rule the coming tide to the expeetant court upon the shore should be a mat ter of nice consideration.

 The story of Thirst in the Desert" is one cut out of whole cloth in illus tration of a story given for written composition. This idea of the pupil illustrating his own story has this to commend it. that 1t forces concise picture in the pupils mind, and clear thinking is the most powerful factor in good written composition. as it is in picture-making.
 We stand some chance of telling or drawing what is perfectly clear to LIS. or at least We are more apt to appre- eiate the study of the means toward clear expression when We know what the obstacles are that lie between OUT own indefinite thoughts and a clear presentation of them to others.
