OfConnelI as an Orator.

Few orators have been so fortunate
as Daniel O'Connell In their physical
appeal to the senses. Grattan, Cur
ran, Emmett, Shell and Meagher were
small men, not the least impressive to
the eye O'Connell was man of royal
aspect. His voice was seductively
musical-the most musical, according
to Disraeli, ever heard in the house Of
commons. 1t was soft, of great COM
pass, capable of expressing every i'm
aginable emotion. His eyes, light in
color and full, flashed or beamed or
burned, according to the sentiment ex-
pressed. His contemporaries all men,
ton the expressibility of his mouth.
His gestures were free and bold, not In
the least suggestive OF elocution and
yet infinitely graceful and apt. There
was nothing in his manner indicative
Of preparation. His manner was easy
and without effort. Wendell Phillips,
who heard him, says in his lecture:
I'VE used to say of Webster, This Is
a great effort, of Everett, Tt Is a beau
tiful effort but you never used the
word effort in speaking of O'Connell.
1t provoked you that he would not
make an effort. The Irish Orators"

CHICAGO CONVENTIONS

The national republican convention
has met and concluded it's work by
nominating Justice Hughes for the
presidency. He had a large follow
ing at the outset, which increased
up to the time when the balloting
commenced. At IL o'clock a. m.
Wednesday, June 7, all delegates were
seated in the great Chicago Coliseum
and despite the drizzling rain which
fell all day and which caused the dec
orations throughout the city to droop,
there was enough enthusiasm to keep
up the interest, though there was a
lack of great outbursts, such as have
been frequent at other national re-
publican conventions. Lodge, Crane,
Penrose, Hitchcock, Depew, and others
passed to their seats without a hand
clap. The first cheering was when
the band played "Star Spangled Ban
ner," when all arose and cheered.
The progressive national convention
met at the same time in Chicago at
the Auditorium and made a record
breaking demonstration. When the
name of Theodore Roosevelt was men
toned, the delegates and spectators
cheered and roared for one hour and
thirty-ffve minutes, and sang progress
sive battle hymns, paraded the aisles,
and over the stage and howled down
all attempts to check them. This
happened just when Raymond Robins,
temporary chairman, had spoken three
sentences of his speech and had men
toned the name of Roosevelt. The
convention would not consider the
nomination of any one but Theodore
Roosevelt, and it did nominate him
almost at the same moment Justice
Hughes was nominated at the repub-
lican convention.
The Wisconsin delegation to the
national republican convention occu-
pied a position, on the main aisle, just
fourth state in line. The delegation
at the outset stood eleven for Hughes
and fifteen for LaFollette.
Edwin J. Gross submitted what was
known as Senator LaFollette's plat
form to the convention on Thursday
and it was greeted with Kisses, groans
and laughter, and voted down with
one exception. This was his sugges-
ton for an international tribunal to
pass on the difficulties of nations.
Col. Roosevelt refused to accept the
! nomination of the progressives, say
ing 81 cannot accept at this time" He
sent long message to the republican
convention recommending a COM
promise on Senator Lodge, which
would not be considered.

Signal officer of the birds army corps
is the racket tailed humming bird. For
his duties nature has equipped him
with a pair of purple flags fashioned
out of two long and peculiar tail feath-
ers. He wigwags bis signals from one
tree to another, issues his challenges
to battle and courts his mate. When
he's not signaling he's slipping honey
from the flowers and trying to keep
his tail from entangling itself in the
briarS.
He's midget Of the South American
mountains. He has short wings, which
he operates at lightning speed. His
tail is a combination Of two wirelike
handles, with a purple tuft Of feathers
at the end of each. He crosses them
near the middle, and sometimes he
brings the pair of ''rackets" at the
ends to his head, as though trying to
fan himself.
The male birds have a sort Of love
dance which they engage in during the
mating season. Then they play ali
sorts Of tricks with the rackets.-Phil-
adelphia North America

Mourning Friday.

1t was not always called Good Fri
day. Years ago in Germany it was
frequently referred to as Mourning Fri
day. Our early ancestors in England
did not call it Good Friday, either, but
Long Friday. Such is the term in an
ancient ecclesiastical law about 1000
years old. The Danes used the same
name, Long, instead of Good Friday.
The reason for using the word "long'
was doubtless found In the seeming
endless and severe fast practiced that
day. At one time the Spaniards en-
phasized the solemnity of Good Friday
by closing all the churches.
Nowhere else that 1 have happened
to be on a Good Friday was the day
so soiemnly observed as in Rome. The
city seemed to be in mourning, making
all the more inspiring the matchless
services and singing in st. Peters ca
thedral ON Easter.-Philadelph Led

AustraIia,s Stony Desert.

The great stony desert of north Aus
tralia was discovered by Captain Sturt,
an Australian explorer, in 1856. II
is north of the river Darling and is
about 800 miles long and 100 broad,
consisting of sandy dunes or ridges.
It's want of trees, except along the
creeks, gives the country sterile ap-
pearance. These ridges were probably
formed by the joint effect of winds
and gradually retiring sea. Accord
ing to Captain Sturt, these waters were
gradually lost by evaporation or car
ried to some undiscovered sea. The
only vegetation, growing scantily, is
prickly acacias in full bloom, all OF
stunted growth. Water is scarce ex-
cept in the creeks which are sheltered,
and this is generally brackish. Few
travellers care to traverse this inhos-
pitable desert.

GOVERNOR PHILIP, who was oper-
ated on for appendicitis the early
part of last week in Milwaukee hos
pital, is improving, and it will only
take time to bring about his usual
good health. The governor is great
tinker" and it must have been sore
trial for him to be denied the privi-
lege of attending the republican
national convention, especially as he
was talked of for vice-president.
However, the Wisconsin delegation
sent expressions of sympathy to him.
and considering this came from the
faction which was opposed to him, it
must have helped to make him the
more comfortable.

Col. JOHN S. MosBY, the most
famous Confederate raider of the
Civil war, died in Washington, D. c.,
on Memorial day. He was a native
of Virginia and 81 years old. He was
buried at his ancestral home in
Warrenton, Va, on Thursday and
some of the survivors of his command
were his pail bearers. He was prac-
ticing law in Bristol, Va, when the
war broke out. He became a scout
at the outset and a year later re-
cruited an independent cavalry troop
which became famous as Mosby's
Partisan Rangers. Gen. Grant saved
Mosby from hanging and they after
wards became very staunch friends,
and he stumped the state of Virginia
for Grant during his presidential
campaign, and was rewarded with an
appointment as consul at Hong Kong,
a post which he held for seven years.
When he returned he found that
most of his rangers had become
ministers.
The following good story was told
Oh Col. Mosby some years ago by Gen.
Fitz Hugh Lee
at a political meeting at Alexan-
dria, Va, after the war, Col. Mosby
was making political speech at the
court house.
"Why," said he, "my war record is
a part of the states history. Gentle
men, carried the last Confederate
flag through this very town."
''That is so,' spoke up Fitz Hugh
Lee, who was in the audience. 81
was here at the time"
"Thank you for your fortunate rec
election" gratefully exclaimed Mos
by. 1T is pleasant to know that
there still live some men who move
aside envy and testify to the courage
of their fellow-beings. AS [ say,
gentlemen, my war record is a part
of the states history, for the gentle
man here will tell you that carried
the last Confederate flag through this
town"
CHATS a fact" continued Fitz.
81 saw you do it. You carried the
Confederate flag through this town,
but Fitzpatrick and Ellsworth were
after you, and you carried it so
blamed fast one couldn't have told
whether it was the Confederate flag
or smallpox warning"

The Evil Eve

1t is probable that the "evil eye" for
which many hapless old women were
harried TO their death on the suspicion
OF witchcraft in the good old days"
was no more than a common squint, a
cast in the eye, or "bossing." as it
is called in many parts of the country
TO this day, writes DR.. N Bishop Har-
man in the British Journal Of Chill
dren's Diseases. Not only was the
squint thought to be OF evil signifl-
canoe, but the defect itself was con-
sidered TO be the work Of evil spirits.
In King Lear" we find the following
in the scene on the heath at night:
This is the foul fiend Fhbbertigib-
get He begins at curfew and walks
till the first cock: he gives the web and
the pin, squints the eye and makes
the harelip, mildews the white meat
and hurts the poor creature OF earth"

A GREAT calamity has overtaken
England, which is, perhaps, the great
est since the beginning of the war,-
the loss of Lord Kitchener, England's
war secretary, and his staff. The
British cruiser, Hampshire, on which
the prominent men of that country
ware taking passage to Russia on i'm
portant business, was sunk OFF the
Scotland coast, by mine or a
German submarine. Those of Lord
Kitchener's staff with him were:
Hugh James O'Beirne, Brigadier
General Ellershaw, Sir Frederick
Donaldson and o. A. Fitzgerald, Earl
Kitchener's private secretary, all went
down with the ship, on Monday night,

MAMMOTH CIRCUS
Al. G. Barnes Big FOur.Ring Wild
Animal Show Here on June 21st.

A sphinx, spanking new show, a new
programmed so new, however, but
what the time-honored features which
have made the circus Americas most
popular form of amusement, are re-
tanned, are the promises held forth
for the circus that is to visit Wausau,
Wednesday, June 21st.
The circus referred to, of course, is
the worlds greatest wild animal show
the Al. G. Barnes big Touring wild
animal circus. In saying new" show,
it isn't inferred that the Barnes show
is new to the people of Wausau, for it
has visited here before and is strictly
in keeping with the truth to say that
its performances always give genu-
inc and wholesome satisfaction.
Acts that thrill, acts that amaze,
others that instruct and those that
create laughter-all of them entirely
new and of original character are
promised to those who witness this
seasons performance. The scope of
the feats performed by the animals
has been profusely broadened for this
years tour. Grown people will find
| in the thrilling spectacular acts a sat
iating array of entertainment, while
the kiddies will have bushels of fun
watching the antics of the half hun
dred animal clowns. The comicality
of these laugh creators is also guar
| anteed to be juvenescent to all grand
pas and grandmas present.
Special attention is directed this
year to the big wild animal features
in which the largest groups of lions,
tigers and bears ever shown are per-
formed. Educated Royal Bengal IT,
| gers, thirty acrobatic and comedy
bears, the horse-riding lions, bears
leopards and hyenas will certainly
| crafty anyone's appetite for the SEN
sational.
Acts of a quieter character, but none
| the less interesting, in which domestic
| animals are the star actors, are gener-
ously interspersed throughout the pro-
| gram. There's a massive ensemble in
which a hundred beautiful and highly
educated ponies take part. The worlds
| champion dancing horses sixteen in
number are shown in one of the very
| greatest circus features of all times
Trapese performing monkeys, tight
and slack rope-walking dogs, monkeys
goats and pigs, and raging ostriches
combine in giving some of the most de-
lightful circus entertainment ever wit
