oLD-rlMe GIANTS IN SENATE
Statesmen Of a Generation Ago, Re-
markabIe for Their 6riIIIsncy,
Have Passed.

A generation ago the senate held
picturesque group of history build
ers, writes Francis E. Leupp in the
Atlantic. 1t included Conkling, who
daily reserved his appearance in the
chamber till the other senator's were
seated and the scene set, and whose
majestic march down the middle
aisle reminded one of the entrance
of the king in Shakesperean
drama; Blaine, who had only to rise
for a perfunctory motion in order
to smite the galleries with a spell Of
expectant silence and capture the
eyes of his colleagues; Hamlin, in
eyes of his colleagues; Hamlin, in his
association with the memory of Lin
coin seemed to draw the great war
wonderfully near; Edmunds and
Hoar, conserving, in their range of
thought and speech, the best tradi-
tons of New England statesman
ship; Hampton and Bayard, exhal-
ing the flavor of the old South; Da-
vid Davis, who twice had held the
fate of the country in his hand
Chandler and ingalls, and Malone,
guerrilla fighters but powers in their
way; Allison and Cockrell, Sanders
and Gordon, voorhees, and Hawley
and Hill, and a dozen others whose
names and stories were household
words from one end of the United
States to the other.

GRAMOPH0NE USED ON STAGE
They Are Useful to Simulate Roar OF
Animals and the Shouts
of Mobs.

The utility of the gramophone has
not been overlooked by the modern
stage manager, London Answers
states. Instead of employing dozen
or so hoarse scene shutters to stand
in the wings and simulate the roar
of an angry mob he turns on a gram
ophone with an appropriate record,
and the effect is ten times better.
Sir Herbert Tree, in some of his
big spectacular productions, largely
employs the talking machines. Bands
of music, the joyous pealing of bells
and the shouts of an excited crowd
have all been reproduced in this
manner at his theater.
Some time ago a piece having an
Indian setting was produced in Lon
don. The "laugh" of the hyena was
required to be heard "off." 1t was
of no use to hire a four-footed per-
former from the geological gardens,
because there was no guaranty that
his sense of humor would be awak-
ened at the required moment each
night. So, we were told, an expedi-
ton, armed with gramophone, was
sent to the zoo to capture peal of
the hyena's elusive and mysterious
mirth.

Criticism Of a Weekly.

The late Jacob A. Riis, the eminent
sociologist and author, was an ardent
supporter of Colonel Roosevelt, and 1t
was in this connection that he once
uttered very cruel bon mot.
On Colonel Roosevelts last visit to
London il was rumored in American
literary circles that he was to be hon
ored with an invitation to one Of
Punch's famous weekly dinners-those
dinners at which Thackeray and Du
Maurier and Burnand and other
notables sat down.
But Mr.. Riis contradicted this ru.
NOR at a dinner in New York.
1T is not true" he said, that Mr..
Punch is to entertain Colonel Roose-
welt. Mr.. Punch never entertains any
body"
