Mark Twain had a huge welcome. For
twenty minutes he kept his audience shak-
ing with laughter. Referring to the mis-
chief caused by fireworks celebrations, he
said.
Throughout the day we honor the
Fourth. When night comes We dishonor 1t.
We destroy more property on that night
than tho whole United States was worth
a hundred and twenty-five years ago"
MIR. Clemens told nov he had suffered
tie loss OF an uncle in Chicago, as good
an uncle as he had ever had. and he had a
lot. This uncle opened his mouth to ex-
press patriotism, when a rocket went down
his throat and before he could ask for a
glass Of water to quench IL the thing scat
tered him all over forty-fve States. That
was really true. T~wenty-four hours later
IL was raining buttons on the Atlantic
seaboard. He also told how he had waived
precedence in making a speech at a banquet
late on a Saturday night in favor Of a clergy
man, who pleaded that IL he spoke after
Mark he would miss his train. involving
his breaking the Sabbath. Mark said that
he agreed, thereby losing his train INT
consequently for the first time In his life
he broke the Sabbath, and. he added in q
tone of solemn pathos:
Il rave never kept it since"
Recurring to the stolen Ascot cup, he
said he regretted that his many denials
had not convinced the British that he did
not steal IL, so he might just as we'll admit
that he did. After all, II was not much
harm. The British people, he continued,
have been trying for more than forty
years to take away a cup OF ours, and they
need not make 90 much trouble about IL
when I got into the business myself
In q more serious vein the speaker paid Q
tribute to Great Britain for what she had
conferred on America, saying:
1T was our gray haired, venerable and
revered mother, England, who gave US
our first Fourth when King John signed
the Magma Charts.'
He detailed four great historic steps
toward freedom. which he described az
English Fourths Of July. from which
America had benefited.
The last he declared, was born at
Philadelphia in i778. It was English. II
was not American, for the Declaration Of
Independence was written by an English
subject. Every name signed to it was the
name Of a British subject. and there was
not an American In America except the
Indians out on the plains. The Americans
did not begin until seven years later.
we have one Fourth which is absolutely
our own. the proclamation issued forty
years & by Lincoln. Lest We forget
let US always call to mind that we owe
these things to England. and let US be able
to say to old England: You gave US our
Fourth Of July. you gave us our Declaration
Of Independence, which is the charter Of
our rights. You. the venerable mother OF
liberties and the protector Of Anglo-Saxon
freedom. you a us these things and
we do most earnestly thank you for them

Alabama Girl Received by Large Audi

BY sEwELL HAGGARD..

New York, Jan. 19.-tSpecial) )-No- where perhaps is Helen Keller looked upon with as much interest and affec- tion, too, as in New York. Every time she appears in public she is warmly received and the newspapers print any thing that she has Ito say. When she visits here scores of prominent persons call on her or leave their cards.
 The other night she spoke at meet ing held by the New York Association {. for the Blind in the Waldorf-Astoria ball room and the place was crowded.
 Miss Kellers voice was sweet. low, and clear, but her vowei sounds were those of many Romance tongues, mak- ing her accent vaguely foreign with out allowing it to be distinguished as either French, Italian or Spanish.
 When, as the last speaker on the program, Dr. Bell had guided Miss Keller forward to a point on the plat form where for a moment she stood in tremuIous uncertainty, he said with feeling:
 T knew Miss Keller as a little girl and now when I come here to take the place of her teacher for the nignt find her yoVng woman. l came from Washington. where I had other engage ments, but l couldn't resist her tele- gram saying that she needed me.
 Then Miss Keller, standing beside Dr. Bell in her pink evening gown made graceful little bow.
 Tt is a great pleasure to ne to speak in New York" she began, so that those who were near her in the audi ence could distinguish her words, wLich were repeated at once by Dr. Befl "The men and women for whom l speak are poor and weak, in that they lack aoa 1F fha phiaf walnnnQ with " hiCh the human being fights his battle.

Fur sewinw.


 Perhaps one of the most degrading, unhealthy and wretchedly paid trades Is that of fur sewing. The fur from the skins. which have a most offensive smell, not only covers everything In the room, including the workers clothes, but gets into tho throat and lungs, so that the poor sweated women who do the major portion of this work often suffer from chronic bronchial ca tarrh and asthma, and the rate Of inc fant mortality in their homes is very high.
 Doors and windows must be kept shut or 1t will be impossible to see through the clouds of fur that arise immediately there Is draft of fresh air. Even in their food the workers do not escape the hair. It Is everywhere Tho precees of sewing may be simple but sometimes the fur is in such naf- row strips that the edges are dimeult to find. From 0 pile of small. irregular ly shaped bits of fur on the ground be- side her, the worker takes and sews them together to pver the paper pat tern of a lady's eollarette with loug ends.

Besides holding aloof from the politicians in the mat ter of appointments, the Governor has instituted reforms and has started in- quiries in the ~various State depart ments that will likely prove eiubar- rassinG to the employees

Certain State officials in former years have been known to go to New York city on Friday on business for the State" and remain until Monday. In these two days they would manage to part with several hundred dollars in dining at fashionable hotels. going to thea tres, automobile rides and other such pleasures. They could afford to be extravagant for the State was paying the freight.
 A few years ago a certain State of- fcer was making up his vouchers to be sent to the comptroller when a clerk happened to notice some slips furnished by a messenger company as bills for messenger calls.
 Do you want these to go to the comptroller?' asked the clerk of his chief.
 The State officers eye bulged in as | tonishment. He tore up the slips and sent in a blind voucher to the comp | troller. The slips boro evidence tha, | messenger boys had been sent into | Albanys Tenderloin.

gnettes. but I hops this basket Will

 During the earlier part of the pro-
 gram in the ball room Miss Keller en- joyed the proceedings as heartily as any one in the room. For greater
 part of the time she sat between Fer
 teacher, Mrs Macy, and Dr. Bell, who alternately clasping her hand, tapped
 on It's sentitive palm a clear account Of all that was being enacted before their senses.
 F Occasionally she would bury her face in a bouuuet of roses, then inhale deep ly the fragrance of each rose separ- ately. When through with the roses she borrowed Mrs. Macy's bouquet of violets.
 When Eben P. Morford of the Brook iyn Home for the Blind and himself a blind man. spoke with annoyance of the absence of. a picture from the col lection being thrown on the scrsen as though he himself saw it, Miss Keller laughed aloud as the occurrence was translated to her. Dr. Lyman Aooott spoke of the demands of friends of the | blind as just.
 Tt is based on justice, just as Is our school system" he said. The Ameri- can heart has been stirred about the Japanese We don't demand that more Japanese be allowed to come, but that the children here. whether they're black, yllow, or green, be allowed a chance to do what they can. When this was translated to her, Miss Keller fairly rocked with laughter, as
 she clapped her hands together vigor- ously.

women W,thout Escorts.

For years 1t has been the rule of prominent hotels and restaurants to draw certain lines about women who were not escorted after ceFain hours of the evening. In tct in most or them they would not serve a woman unless a man accompanied her. The Waldorf-Astoria has been the first to break away from this rule. The an nouncement was made when a notice was posted upon the bulletin board reading:
 Ladies without escorts will he served in the restaurants hereafter at any hour"
 Women were never actually elected from any of the good hotels but 1t was an unwritten law that a woman with out an escort was overlooked by the walters so that she would seek some Pother place where she would be served. At all times the proprietors have ad- mitted that lady" could be served. but no two agreed as to what lady was. One of the managers of the Wal dorf said:
 Tt has always been a rule of this house to entertain ladies-real ladies"
 But what is a lady? Is 1t deter mined by dress or manner or-or ac- cent9" asked the reporter.

DecInrea War On Press.

The politicians having been routed by Governor Hughes have probably in a spirit of reevnge declared war on the press. The Senate the other day passed a resolution providing htat the clerk shall have the power to exclude from the floor of the upper house the represen tatives of any newspaper that may offend any member of the august body.
 The chief promoters of this resolu- tion were Senators John Raines, who has for years been the servant of the State bosses. first Platt and then Odell, and Thomas F. Grady. the man who puts up the "oratorical front" for Charles F. Murphy, the leader of Tam many Hall.

ferring to the proposition to encourage white immigration to Alabama, the Governor says:
