After.Dinner Oratory.
From the Dayton News.

According to the reports Columbia Uni
versity is going to establish a chair OF
after-dinner oratcry. At least, ii is said
that the university proposes ito organize
a department of after-dinner oratory,' -
which is the same thing. 1t ought to be
hailed with deliEht-as the papers used
TO say. About the most tiresome thing
ever invented Is the after dinner speech.
In the first place, 1t comes just after the
auditors have eaten more than they ought
70 have eaten, and when they are drov "
from the food and - Sometimes--half
drunken from the wine. But people in no
other condition would stand for il.
Then. everybody who is worth more
than 81 or who has ever been able to get
his picture in the papers Is supposed to
speak, regardless of whether speaking is
in his line or not-and generally II is not.
II is long after midnight-when honest
folks ought to be in bed-before the
main guy" as the boys say, Is called
upon in those old, stereotyped words,
I'VE have with US this evening" etc.
But perhaps the ', orst thing in con-
nection with the after-dinner speech is
that everybody present is supposed to
laugh at the tinae-worn jokes. That is
usually trying to nine-tenths Of the BAN
queters, but 1t must be done out Of cour-
tesy to the speaker. Moth-eaten jokes
that would not be tolerated anywhere
else are pulled Oft at the banquet, the
orator pauses for the applause, the
sleepy diners almost era k their faces In
an effort to smile-and next day it is In
the papers that the prince Of good fell
lows" etc.

The Man Who Is Fond of Music.


II am so fond Of music said man
with an ear attuned to sweet sounds,
that I can overlook defects In II and
can listen to some almighty tart singing
and playing and stay with 1t. unless II IL
done by professionals who assume to do
IL right. but what can't stand for is the
way these amateurs nave Of not announc-
ing what they are about TO perform,
locally or fundamentally. During the
past season ] suppose have heard a
hundred or more young men and women
do musical stunts where no programs
were issued. and not 10 per cent Of them
told the people who were expected to
listen intelhgently what they were going
to do. They simply got up and sang or
played. and We had to guess what they
were doing for Us.
''Of course. after each stunt everybody
app!auded and said, How lovely and
then followed a shower of questions TO
know what it was they had been hear
ing Every performer knew perfectly
well a,!d told sfterward. but what
want to know is Why the dickens they
didn't tell us before they begaa. Why
don't teachers w.lo teach pupils music
teach them at the same time TO make the
announcement OF what they are going
TO do? Listeners would like to know
what the composition IS and who com.
posed 1t, and they have a right to know

The Law and Long Life.
From the Law Journal.

from Tue Inv JOurndI.
Certain it is that our annals show .
striking record Of active service in the
law by men who have passed what is
regarded as the allotted span Of man g
life. In the past Lord Campbell did not
begin his chancellorship till he was In
his eightieth year. and vice chancellor
Bacon continued to administer equity till
he was eighty-nine. And in the present,
Lord Halsbury. despite his elghty-five
years, is still. as Fitzjames Stephen said
OF Chief Baron Pollock, "a fine lively
old man straight as a ramrod, and fun
Of indomit able vivacity." Lord Macnagh-
ten, who has been lord of appeal for
twenty-three years, has still one OF the
acutest minds on the bench. and Lord
James of Hereford. who was appointed
queens counsel more than forty years
ago, still gives his wise assistance to the
highest tribunal

taken care OF by him, Mohammedan.
and that unless he took charge OF her

WELCOME TO TURKEY

New Order Of Things Is Being

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
CONSTANTINOPLE, October l. 1910.
Up till this summer very little encour-
agement was given by the Turks to the
Egyptian nationalists, who have more
than once received very decided snubbing
at ConstantinopIe. With the prolonged
stay of the khediye in his new palace at
Chibukly. however, change is very ap-
parent today.
Before the Turkish revolution few, II
any, better-class Egyptians ever cared to
come to Turkey for fear Of being &C.
cused Of some real or ina ginary offense
and prevented from returning, but now
than most Of the restrictions on travel in
the way of passports and tezkerehs have
been modified or removed, the influx OF
strangers into the beautiful Ottoman
capital is one Of the most marked signs
OF the changed order OF things.
Like Returned Exiles.
Under these circumstances the recep-
ton now given to the Egyptians who are
f1ocking into Constantinopie is very sig
niflcant, and Is OF itself sufficient to show
that large amount OF sympathy is ex-
tended to them, the ultimate results Of
which II is not easy to forecast. Not
only do the Egyptians visit CONSTANT
ncple like returned exiles to a hitherto
forbidden country. but they are buying
property in all directions and drawing
much closer the ties which had so long
been loosed between the great Turkish
families Of Egypt and their relations in
Constantinople.
1t is impossible to shut ones eyes to
the inevitable consequences of this move
ment, which must lead to a gradual iden-
tifcation Of interests between the ruling
classes in Turkey and the most wealthy
and influential Egyptians, and their ex.
ample will surely be followed by the next
strata until Turks and Egyptians will be.
come brothers in the flesh as we'll as in
religion.
