True EIoouence.

True eloquence, indeed, does not COM
sist In speech. It cannot be brought
from far. Labor and learning may toll
for it, but they will toll in vain. Words
and phrases may be marshaled In every
way, but they cannot compass it. It
must consist in the man, in the subject
intense expression, the pomp Of decla-
nation, all may inspire to it. They
cannot reach it. 1t comes, If it comes
at all, like the outbreaking of foun-
tain from the earth or the bursting
forth of volcanic fires with spontane-
GUS, original, native force.-Webster

H0UDINI FACES HARD TEST
s. kann, Sons & Co. Employees to
Build Boz on Stage Tonight.

Houdini. "the Wizard of Escape"
Will be confronted tonight with tho
hardest escape challenge ever put up
to him in this city. "
1t comes to him from the packers
and shippers of s. Kann Sons & Co.,
who made the backing box from
which the elusive American escaped
the last time he appeared in Washing
ton.
At that time Houdini required that
the box be in his custody for at least
tWenty-four hours before the time
set for his exploit of escaping from
u. The box was on exhibition in
keith's lobby during the entire time
preceding the exploit so that the
"Handcuff King" did not have q
chance even to thoroughly examine IT..
Now come the s. Kann Sons & Co.
employees with what they deem a more
difficult offer. They propose to send
the heavy timbers, ropes, and other
materials for the box to the theater
and build the box on the stage in the
presence OF the audience.
