NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Senator's Fondness for MeOdiOus Speech

Some time In the summer of this
wear in a certain publication, there
snpeared an expression attributed tc
the late Roscoe Conkling in his days
of leadership of the Republican party
of New York State, when he was as
an orator without superior in the
limited States Senate and upon the
political platform.
The quoted expression was "halcyon
and vociferous days" Soon after
This term was attributed publicly 70
Conkling, there appeared a pubhc
communication in the New Yory Sun
from a. critic who professed to be an
admirer of the English style as well
as the capacity for brilliant descrip-
lions and word painting which nc
associated with Senator ConAling. lie
said. however, that Senator Conkling
was so fastidious in his use or Eng
Iish that it was impossible that he
should have made use of so cheap
and meaningless an expression as
''halcyon and vociferous.'
This communication recalled to my
memory what ] believe to be the time
and occasion of the use of that term
by Senator Conkling. and, upon ex-
animation. I found that | was right,
He made use of it in an argument
before the Court of Appeals, at AL
bany, n. Y, in a case in which he
appeared as counsel for one of the
parties, on February 2, 1881, about
three months before he resigned from
the United States Senate.
| happened to mention this to Cen
raj Thomas l.. James, who was one
of Senator Conkling's lifelong friends
and political followers, and he said:
Both 'halcyon' and 'vociferous'
were favorite words with Mr. Conk-
ling He liked the rhythm of the
words, and a word which was melo-

Butterfly Makes a Pointer"

! A local sportsman vouches for this
story: A friend of his has a small
dog which he was anxious to train to
become pointer for the hunting sea-
son. Somehow the animal seemed to
be afraid of every fowl or animal with
which the owner tried to teach him
to point. The owner had tried tieing
a bird to a rope and then letting it
fly the length of the rope, hoping the
dog would point it. The canine
seemed, however, to have an innate
fear, and finally, in desperation, the
owner tried new tack. Securing a
butterfly, which he thought would
prove the least fearsome to the dog,
he attached it to a string and then
let it fly. The dog Immediately
pointed" and since that time the
owner has increased the size of his
birds" until now the canine has be-
come q firSt-clasS pointer

Saw Monmouth,s Sister Ships

Many Newarkers who have been at
the fishing banks off Sandy Hook this
summer happened to catch a fairly
good view of a British cruiser ,ying
not far from the Scotland lightship.
British cruisers have been stationed
off New York ever since the war be-
gan for the purpose of preying on
German ships. At one time this sum-
mer the cruiser Lancaster was on the
lookout off the port of New York.
Another time 1t was either the cruiser
Essex or the Berwick. The Lancas-
ter Essex and Berwick are sister
ships of the cruiser Monmouth, which
was sunk in battle with a German
fleet off the coast of Chile recently.
The displacement of these ships is
$500 tons each. They have a length
of 44S feet and their speed is twenty
three knots.

dious always appealed to him. He
was also fond of words of one syllable
in which the word had prolonged
sound. That was particularly the
case with the word Rome. He once
told me that he thought it was the
finest short word in the English IAN
guage. He said he was accustomed
even in the solitude of his library oc-
occasionally to pronounce the word
He liked the rich, full sound or the
letter % in that word, and / suppose
there was no man of the time who
could give it more musical intona-
ton than Conkling could.
There was another word which he
was fond of pronouncing. 1t was the
word 'Lombardy' He thought the
conjunction of consonants in that
word was as fine a union OF con-
sonants as could be found in any
word in the English language.
'Mr. Conkling once told me that
when he was a young man he heard
an actor James O'Connor by name, In
the part of Richelieu, in Bulwer's
play of that name. He said that
|O'Connor possessed q Gift of reveal
ing the musical and rhythmical quail
ties that were in many English words
so that those who heard him got a
conception not only of the strength,
but also of the melodic sweetness
which is in many of our English
words.
Both the words 'halcyon' and 'voci-
ferrous would be sure to appeal to
Senator Conkling's sense of rhythm
and melody, and | suppose the occa-
sion arose when he was delivering
the argument before the Court of
Appeals when 1t was possible for him
to use those words in conjunction and
he welcomed the opportunity"

From Albany Knickerbocker Press.
Next April there will meet in AL
bany the 1853 delegates elected yes
terday to the constitutional conven-
ton to frame a new organic law for
the State which will be its oonstitu-
ton, if ratified by the voters, for
twenty years to come unless other
wise ordered by the voters. On &C
count of the excitement over the cleo
ton of State officers and a United
States senator the people have paid
too little attention to the personnel
and views of these delegates. three
of whom are chosen from each SEN
ate district as well as fifteen from
the State at large
Nobody knows now what these 1853
delegates are likely to do in the way
of formulating constitution. Few
Of them made known to the voters
their ideas of what such an instru-
ncnt should contain in the way OF
improvements over the old constitu-
ton or whether there should be any
important changes at all.
New York's method Of selectine
delegates to convention of such far
reaching importance, 1t should be OBJ
served, differs radically from tbs
methods in vogue in other States
which recently made new constitu
tons. In Ohio, for example, the del
egates were nominated and elected
at elections specially called for tina
purpose. In that way the voters were
able to place each of the candidates
on record for or against the funda
mental reforms up for consideration
The result was that when the con
vention met a few days later 1t wa
fairly representative of the peopl
OF Ohio and what they desired in tn
new constitution. The delegates wer
under pledge and instruction as near
~ as such a body can be.
Whether the Jss delegates alactei

CATTLE DISEASE AND FOOD PRICES.

The prevalence of the foot and mouth disease
among cattle in the United States has already been
seized upon pretense for boosting prices Retail
butchers in New York have added few cents pound
to the price of in Chicago live fowl have gone
up four cents pound, and we may soon witness
boosts in the prices of milk butter and eggs.
In point of fact, the cattle so far affected by the
disease but small fractional part of the cattle of
the country and amount to less than days killing
in the Chicago stockyards Increase in food prices
therefore, is brazen robbery of the by the
organized greed that taxes the public at all times SO

THE IMMACULATE DEFENSE OF KIAUoHAU

Hemmed in by the vast armies of a nation that
figured as conquerors in recent great wars menaced
by the modified navy of this same nation and with
no hope of relief or means of obtaining relief the
numerically slender force of Germans at Kiauchau
defended that place against Japan for seventy-four
days before captivating. A more impressive ex-
ample of courage. devotion, patriotism or tenacity
than that displayed by the German soldier and
civilian In this prolonged battle against overwhelming
odds and inevitable defeat does not appear in the
history of wars
1t was grand, yes, a supreme exemplifcation of
the bravery and ndomitable spirit of the German.
There have been other wars and other battles,
but when all features and conditions are taken into
consideration the long-drawn-out defense of Kiau-
chau stands out in bold relief the most famous.
Far from help of any kind knowing that assistance
could not to them surrounded by countless
thousands of aggressive Japs, who had compacently
violated the neutrality of China to make the circle
of attack complete on sea and on land, the
beleaguered little band of heroes fought on and on,
desperately resisting onslaught after onslaught Of
foe that would not be denied.
For the defenders of Kiauchau there no driv-
ing force to aid them, as in the case of numerous
battles fought on European soil They were COM
petey cut off from the rest of the world, with no
expectation of the merciless Japs ceasing hosttes
for a single moment
The moment that Japan, with her great resources
her army which had conquered Russia, and her fleet,
which made her supreme in the East, threw her lot
in with the allies, the fate of Kiauchau sealed
From such unequal conflict it might well have
been expected that all but the few soldiers actually
charged with the test would have shrunk, that these
would have contented themselves with brief and
honorable resistance, and then the surrender which
would not have impugned their courage brought
disgrace TO their flag.
But that not the German style. No SUCH
thought entered the mind of the Spartan-like
Teuton. He there to fight until he FELL and the
falling was crowned by an immaculate glory that will
never fade.

mittee and it is excellent counsel for community
AS the circular truly says the habit of eating fish
Fridays only is absurd 1t is just as nourishng as
lean meat and much cheaper. The public has yet to
be educated to the value of fish diet but if the Chi
cago stockyards closed by quarantine and the
ply of dressed meats well as live animals is cut off

business But he is a mental failure
first.
II, instead OF giving up to his rear,
a man would persist in keeping pros
perity in his mind, assume q hope
full. optimistic attitude, and would
conduct his business In a systematic,
economical, far-sighted manner
actual failure would be comparative
~ rare. But when man becomes
discouraged, when he loses heart and
grip, and becomes paT1ic-stricken, he
is not In q position to make the effort
which is absolutely necessary to
bring victory, and there Is shrink
age all along the line. His mental
attitude lowers his vitality, lessons
his powers OF resistance, vitiates his
efficiency and ruins his resourceful-
ness.
When a youth decides to become a
physician, he puts himself in a medi-
cal atmosphere just as much as pos
sible. He talks medicine. thinks med
icine, until he becomes saturated with
1t. He does not decide to become a
physician and then put himself in a
legal atmosphere. read law. talk law,
think law. So. II you want abundance
and a successful, happy life, you must
think abundance, success and happi-
ness.
Stoutly deny tho power of adversely
or poverty to keep you down or make
you miserable. Constantly assert
your superiority to your environ
ment and the things that worry you.
Believe that you are to dominate your
surroundings, that you are the master
and not the slave Of circumstances.
Resolve with all the vigor you can
muster that you will make the best
possible out OF the prevailing condl-
tons, nomatter how unpromising the
outlook; that you will do the best
with what you have; that you will
clean UP, brace up, talk UP. look up,
instead of down-hold your head up
and look the world in the face, in
stead of complaining of your hard
luck. This will create a new spirit
within you which will lead you to the
light. Hope will take the place of
despair, and you will feel the thrill of
a new power. of new force coursing
through your veins.

Newark's factories were "joshing" a
Socialist "comrade" on the result of
the congressional election in Mil

by wagering that Berger the Social

election in 1912.

Be Kind TO tbe Dead Ceapes

Good HousewifeI Spare thy broom
Sweep not the dead leaves to their doom
So readily
Grant them little while to lie in state
These fragile summer friends, unswept, untrod,
Beneath the trees bare and desolate,
Their waning brightness outlined 'gainst the sod
Full often in the silent deeps of night,
When Sleep denied her spell to thy tired eyes,
The winds caresses touched them, coy and light
And sighed in mystic nocturnes, lullabies
All summertide thou'st reveled in their shade,
Their fairy futterings at the breezes breath;
The showers tattoo sweet melody has made
Then suffer them brief repose in death.
Good Housewife! Spare thy broom!
Sweep not the dead leaves to their doom
So readily.
