Muncie Speech an Example or
0ratory that Seldom is
EquaIIed.
ENDOWED WITH RARE GIFT
MUNcIE STAR SAYS THAT LAY.
ING POLITICS ASIDE THE 40
DRESS WAS NOTABLE IN MANY
OTHER WAYS.

The Muncie Star OF yesterday. In an
editorial. paid glowing tribute to
Congressman Watson, who made an
address there on the previous night.
The Star said:
Aside from the politics of Mr.. Wat
sons speech in the auditorium there
are two or three points which demand
more than a passing reference. And
these points are not often to be seen
or heard In the usual campaign
speech.
Mr. Watson spoke for a little over
an hour and a half. He must have
uttered in that time not less than 49,
900 words-possibly nearer 10000.
for during the entire time his gait was
never slackened. and its speed was
what one might call almost terrific.
keeping the mind busy following him.,
Senator Carmack, of Tennessee. is
somewhat above the average of pub
lie speakers in rapidity of utterance:
yet Mr.. Carmack would have required
from three to four hours in speaking
the same number of words Mr.. Wat
son spoke in one hour; and a hak, full
me asure.
Another feature of the speech was
| the clearness of the speakers enun-
citation. Not a syllable was sMrred
in the entire speech. and nobody at
even the fartherst end of the hall
could fail to catch the words and dis
cern their meaning. The fact shows
studious lesson in the art of correct
speaking a lesson that should be
sedulously taught in all schools and
in all homes. His proficiency proves
it possible for all to learn ease of
pronunciation and clearness of utter
ance.
| Still another feature of Mr.. Wat
sons admirable speech, viewed as an
oratorical effort, was its absence from
tautology and repetition. In the en1
| tire speech there was but one repeti!
tion of three words, and that SO aptly
caught that it was scarcely noticeable1
What other repetitions there were
were proper for emphasis and authors
ized by the best rhetorfcians.
Mr.. Watson is not a boisterous
speaker. He does not roar like a
bull of Bashan. But his voice is
pleasant and sufficiently variable to
relieve any monotony. 1t is clear and
reaching without fog-horn qualities,
1t never splits. It's highest flights
are without loss of power and sweets
ness. The rhetoric of the speech
was flawless and the best grammari-
ans would have had task to point a
hit of false synfax College Stll4
dents and teachers of English should
have been close listeners to Mr.. Wat:
sons speech; doubtless many oq
them were.
| Putting aside all politics the speech
was one of the finest addresses deliv1
cred in Muncie in late years. It's re-
ception by an audience that never
blinked or grew tired for an hour and
half was proof of its excellence az
an grafton.

Those days the Jews exchange cards
and good wishes as that is also an
established custom connected with
the day The Jews date time from

Publishers Press1

New York, Sept 20.-Gnawing at
crusts and withstanding privations
that an adult might succumb to, a
4-year-old child was discovered today
after spending four, and possibly
five days, in a locked room with its
lifeless foster mother. The body of
the mother was becoming decompos-
ed, and the child, reduced almost to a
skeleton. was in the last stages of
starvation. An unusually hardy con-
stitution stood the baby in good
stead, and the physicians say it will
recover
The discovery was made in a rear
room of the third floor at 4,204
Third Avenue, Brooklyn. The dead
woman was Mrs. Catherine Dunham,
hard working widow so years old.
The child was John Boyle, whom
Mrs. Dunham took from the Galard-
ian Angel home in Bay Ridge several
months ago and proposed to rear.
She told her nei3lbors that she in
tended the boy to become priest.
Womans Heart Effected.
Mrs Dunham had evidently been
lighting the fire when seized with a
fallen to the floor and in this position
was found.
The baby was lying near Mrs. Dun
hams body, moaning feebly. Evi-
IDENTIFY he had cried most of the time
for his voice was all but gone. About
the room was plenty of evidence of
John Boyles struggles for life. The
lower shelves of the cupboard were
polished where again and again he
had searched for food during his long
imprisonment. Board-like crusts of
bread were gnawed, and looked as If
the youngster had cnewed them in
his hunger.
A bottle that had contained milk
was broken on the floor and the
neighbors and policemen said it look
ed as if the baby had broken the bot
tie in an attempt to get at the milk.
How he escaped being cut by the
fragments of glass was the mys-
terry.
