How the Great Actor Watched the
Law Makers at Work and Guessed
Their Characters with Re-
narkabIe Accuracy.

Sir Henry Irving first appeared on
the American stage in 1883. Not long
after his debut as Matthias, in The
Bells" I had the pleasure of meeting
the great English actormausger at a
little breakfast in Washington. Dur
ing the course of the meal he asked
If l could take him into the house of
representatives. then in session.
II should like very much to make
a study of the members OF your house

where I will not be observed" he
went Or to explain. Il have always
found great pleasure in studying the
faces n manners Of men who are
prominent in public life when they
are not aware that any one in particu-
lar Is studying them. Then, after l
have made my studies, / am glad to
be told their names, for it frequently
affords me a great pleasure to learn
that my personal observations have
enabled me to read accurately the
characters of some Of my unconscious
subjects"
That afternoon Il WIS not difficult
to secure for Sir Henry 1rving-then
plain Mr.. Henry Irving-a seat IN the
visitors gallery where he would be
fairly safe from observation, and yet
could see everything that vas taking
place on the floor of the house. AS
soon as he was seated he became in
tensely interested in the proceedings
upon the floor. At first he scanned
the whole house, seeming to take it
In with n broad sweep of the eye.
Then his attention became fixed upon
one member and he sat silently OBJ
serving him for perhaps five minutes.
At last he spoke, in a whisper, so
as not to disturb our neighbors.
II should say that that man is very
bright. a yer clipper person. with
considerable literary ability. ] no
tice that he has a very observant eye.
[ should think, however, that he is
more superficial than deep-that he
might write or speak attractively

of the way" Sir Henry was informed.
And then he was told of Representa-
tive CoX's literary caree and partic-
ulariy OF his gorgeous description OF a
sunset which won him national liter
airy fame and his lifelong nickname.
Sir Henry thought a moment.
Il should think he would be nor

said blandly.
A moment later the great actors at

KEPT MISSOURI IN UNION
All Efforts to Have Connecticut Do
Homage to Her Brave Son
Have Failed.

On the anniversary OF The death OF
the greatest soldier Connecticut ever
produced, Brig. Gen. Nathaniel Lyon,
who was killed at Wilson's Creek, Mo-,
many citizens are considering what the
state has done or may do to honor
his memory. The only public memo
rial today is a monument which cost
a few hundred dollars, in his GENE

last legislature granted $500 mot to
exceed that sum- to be expended In i'm

OF Its greatest sons, and yet none of
its memorial histories and none of the
state histories, possibly barring one,
that has to do with the Civil war,
gives him more than passing notice.

An old portrait of the general hangs
in the adjutant generals office at the
capitol, but if n looks for statue,
bust or tablet, he looks in vain. Year
by yea citizens have petitioned the
legislature to establish a fitting memo

Calculates Many Strange and Absurd
Instincts That Come and Go Dur
ing Human Infancy, Child.
hood and Adolescence.

Chicago. Howard Moore told
members of the Socialist league a
lot about babies the other night Mr..
Moore discussed The Biology of the
Child" at q meeting which was held
at 100 Washington street.
There is a law in biology called
the ~biogcnetic law. 1t was discov.
cred by Haeckel. 1t is one Of the
most important laws of the organic
world. 1t Is this: Each organism in
it's individual development repeats
the life history of the race to which
it belongs
mo being comes into the world full
grown. Every being goes through the
performance Of what is called growing
before it Is a complete organism.
simple and rather shapeless bit OF
protoplasm. The gulf between this
condition and maturity Is bridged In
by a longer or shorter series OF
changes in size. form and architec-
ture. The remarkable thing about
these changes is that they are strik-
ingly parallel to the changes which
the race has undergone in It's evolu-
ton from the beginning of the earth.
"The ~biogenetic law applies to e
tai phenomena as we'll as q
physical. Only in the light OF tha
law "a it possible to understand the
many strange and absurd instincts
that come and go during human In
fancy, childhood and adolescence.
It has been said that the child is
born savage. This is not quite true.
1t Is worse than that. Only after a
long and i%nglorious prelim-
mary as a q%uadruped Is it able to walk
with It's pront feet In the air and
rightfully lay claim to the title OF
savage"
Mr.. Moore satI the general ideas OF
the child, its conception of itself, and
it's outlook on the world are essen
TALLY the same as those Of the savage
mystical. and naive. The
child believes in ghosts, fairy tales,
and miracles. much as the saw
age does.
Among the points brought out by
the lecture were the following:
The human baby a%ntedates the saw
by several hundred thousand
years.
The child Is a born ape.
The instinct of the baby to cling to
everything within reach Is the instinct
Of the monkey.

rect" he said, though I am inter

which. while it is not a very large
one, is rich in ore. But I will tell
you something in regard to this gold
mine Of mine that I believe to be as
true as that l am talking and walk
ing with you this minute. That mine,
sir, is significant of what is in store
for Alaska. No experienced prospec-
tor could be found who would say
that a gold mine like this one near
Sitka is merely an isolated outcrop-
ping of gold. No, sir. 1t indicates
the presence of vast and rich de-
posts of gold somewhere. although

most probably in the. very near fu-
ture, is to be revealed as one of the
richest gold bearing regions in the
