STAIR WELCOMED. WELL KNOWN HOUSEMAN mm ems QUEENS HEALTH BOARD ORDERS FILLED. En ideas. They answer this by saying that they give the audiences what they want. Yes, but why not give them what they don't want, or at least what they don't expect, and make them go home feeling uplifted and that they have spent a profitable, instructive and even entertaining evening? This might not attract so many of the rabble for a time, but it would make more votes and create more respect for the party.

What is wanted is oratory. Let us see what oratory is. The lexicographers tell us that it Is "the ability so to speak in public as to please, arouse, convince, move or persuade one's hearers." But if the ability to do any one of these is oratory, then Mark Twain is an orator of the first class, and so are the low comedians and variety sketch artists, for they all please. Manufacturers' Resolutions on the Proposed Pennsylvania Tunnel Franchise. The board of directors of the Manufacturers' Association, at its meeting on Monday evening, at 198 Montague street, passed the following resolutions regarding the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's proposed franchise: Whereas, The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has made application to the city for a franchise granting it the privilege of extending Its lines Into and making a terminal in the city; and Whereas, This is a project that would be of incalculable advantage to the city as well as to that railroad, and we believe this proposal has been made in due form of law and on a basis of liberality and fair dealing on the part of the railroad corporation; therefore, be it Resolved, That we urge on the Mayor and other city concerned, on the Board of Aldermen and on the Rapid Transit Commission, that they should meet the proposal in a like broad minded spirit, and should offer every facility consistent with the interests of the city for the carrying out 'of this great work; and Resolved, That there should be no insistence on the insertion of extraneous stipulations, Buch as those concerning hours of work or wages, for we believe It would be a public calamity if such should be allowed to defer or defeat a measure of such far reaching and great benefit; and we regard with disapproval any endeavor to introduce such In this proposed contract, being.

In our judgment, inimical at once to the best interests of the city and of labor. AN ANSWER FROM REGAN. Hints of Colonization Call for Only a General Denial, He Tells Followers. A rousing meeting of the Jefferson Club of the Sixteenth Assembly District was held at the club house, 754A Halsey street. This is the regular organization of the Democratic party in that district and Leader James S.

Regan presided and after a brief address, In which he deprecated the method of political fighting that had been introduced by the opponents of the regular ticket, he further said that the statements published in the papers hinting at colonization were not worthy of answer, because they made no direct charges of wrong doing by any one in authority In the organization. They were In the nature of innuendos, which a positive denial would confirm to some minds. He knew the district was sure enough for the regular organization without trying to do anything unlawful. His remarks were heartily applauded. Then reports of all the election districts in the Assembly district were made by the captains, showing by figures the prospect of a substantial victory in every one.

In all of them a house to house canvass had been made, with excellent results. A short address was made by George W. Martin in closing. At the same time, at a district meeting of the Democratic voters in the Twenty third and Twenty fourth Election districts, which are under the direction of District Captains Jacob Simons and Philip S. Lynch, James Fitzgerald presided, and there were 150 voters present It was held at the corner of Madison street and Patchen avenue.

The First and Second district voters will meet at the corner of Stuyvesant avenue and Van Buren street on Saturday night, under direction of Thomas H. Dobbinson and Fred Pfeffer, the An active and open campaign is being pursued by Leader Regan and his supporters in the Jefferson Club. MOYNIHAN IN BROOKLYN. The Police Captain's Transfer to This Borough Is Something of a Mystery. It is not at all likely, although he does not say so, that Deputy Police Commissioner Ebstein is satisfied with the transfer of Captain Michael Smith from the Hamilton avenue station to Manhattan.

Captain Smith is one of the veterans of the war and told Major Ebstein. when that officer was only an enlisted man in the regular Army, how to comport himself on parade. Captain Smith gave the major his first lessons in the manual of arms in the old days and they have been fast friends ever since. Now Colenel Partridge has sent Captain Smith to Manhattan and Captain Moynihan of the One Hundred and Fourth street station has been transferred to the old Brooklyn red light district in the neighborhood of the Hamilton Avenue Ferry. Captain Smith had done wonders with the precinct, following as he did Captain Miles O'Reilly in command, and his work in Brooklyn has been markedly satisfactory.

Just why Moynihan has been sent to Brooklyn is a marvel that has not been solved by the local policemen. Magistrate Crane had openly called him the most incompetent official in the department. He has been tried on charges of having made his policemen do work for him in his own house, but was acquitted. Now, it is likely that he will soon be before the Commissioner on new charges. These will be brought against him by Inspector.

Kane, who says that Moynihan violated the rules of the department by failing to obey an order to send a policeman named Beck to the Harlem recreation pier, and that he kept Beck at work in the station cellar repairing the desks and cleaning them up. Moynihan says that the charges are trival. He began work in Brooklyn this morning, and there is a general belief that If there is a chance to improve in the quality of the work he does as a commander he will have a good chance to make amends here. AFRO AMERICAN NOTES. The eighth annual outing to the H.

EAGLE TRAVEL NOTES. On Sunday, September 14, the Long Island Railroad will wind up their summer excursion business with a trip up the Hudson as far as West Point. Popular excursions have been run to Manhattan Beach, Rockaway Beach, Ocean Grove, Asbury Park, but the trip up the Hudson, beneath the shadow of the wonderful Palisades, and the mountain ranges of the Catskills eclipses in beauty and grandeur of scenery anything on this continent. The autumnal foliage and the beauties of the Indian summer are now resplendent in their glorious colorings. The Long Island Railroad has made this year a record breaker in the excursion business.

Popular rates have been offered to Induce travel and the results have been satisfactory. ANOTHER HUNTINGTON INDUSTRY (Special to the Eagle.)

McCafferty Held Up and Robbed on Ocean Parkway, Near Neck Road, ALLEGED ASSAILANTS ARRESTED Cabbie Who Drove Them to Coney Island Informed the Police of the Crime. Anthony C.

McCafferty, 47 years old, a ell known horseman who resides in Graves end, and a brother of John J. McCafferty, who is even better known on the turf, was held up and robbed at an early hour this morning on Ocean parkway near Neck road. The horseman was also brutally assaulted and beaten by the highwaymen. He was found later lying in the bushes alongside the Neck road by Policeman Liddy of the Coney Island station and taken to the West Eighth street station, where his wounds about the face and head were dressed by Ambulance Surgeon Byrne, who had been summoned by Sergeant Fogerty. The alleged assailants, three in number, were captured by Policemen Konig, Flynn and Havenkamp.

After the blood had been washed from McCafferty's face he identified the men as those who assaulted and robbed him. The prisoners were arraigned before Magistrate Voorhees this morning in the Coney Island court, where they were charged with assault and robbery. They pleaded not guilty and were held in default of $3,000 bonds on each charge to await further examination on Tuesday next. Had It not been for the good work of Joseph Nltola. a young cabman, the probabilities are that the men would not have been captured.

The police knew nothing of the affair until informed by the cabman. Nltola is one of Coney's cabmen, and he was on his way home about midnight, when he was hailed by three men at the corner of Bedford avenue and Wallabout street in the Eastern District. The men, he alleges, are the prisoners now locked up. They described themselves as George Hoffman, aged 34; Bernard Smith, aged 42, and James Galvtn, 23 years old, all of 707 Bedford avenue. The above number is a saloon kept by a mar.

named McLaughlin, and Galvin said he is employed in the place as a bartender. It was learned from a policeman who had done duty in the precinct in which the saloon is situated that, a bad crowd makes its headquarters there. The cabman said the man told him to drive to Coney Island and he would be well paid for the trip. They got into the cab and he drove off. When within a short distance south of the Neck road the cab was stopped and the three men got out.

Later a fourth man, who proved to be McCafferty. was bundled into the cab and Nltola was told to drive on to Coney Island. He suspected something was wrong and he made up his mind to drive quickly to Surf avenue, where he was sure to find a policeman. On the way to Coney Island there rwas a terrible time In the cab, but before Nltola had gone a quarter of a mile the cab door opened and the man who had been picked up by the occupants of the cab and thrown into the vehicle was lifted out and thrown to the side of the road. Nltola hurried to Clayton's Loop Hotel, at Surf avenue and West Fifth street, as the men said they in need of.

a drink. Just as soon as they entered "the hotel and were seated at a table the cabman excused himself for a moment and went outside, where he notified Policeman Konig of the doings of the men and ho also told about the apparently unconscious form of a man that had been thrown out of the cab near the bridge which crosses Coney Island creek. The men in the bar room had suspected that all was not right and had asked the waiter to permit them to leave the place by the rear door. He refused, however, but when he went to get the drinks the men got away. Policeman Konig had summoned Officers Flynn, Liddy and Havenkamp, and after a search they found the men In a dark corner near Seaside Park.

Patrolman Liddy went up the boulevard and found the unconscious McCafferty lying alongside the cycle path. He appeared to the officers to be under the Influence of liquor, and after he was attended to by the ambulance surgeon he was locked up on a charge of Intoxication. Sentence was suspended this morning. The property of McCafferty. including $150 in money, a gold watch and chain valued at $350 and other articles, the police say, were found on Galvin.

McCafferty' face was a sight this morning and he will be confined to his home for several days. SAYS DEMOCRATS WILLWIN. Representative Gaines Declares Party Has Republicans on the Run on Trust and Tariff Questions: (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, September 11 Representative John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee arrived in thl3 city to day from a tour of the Pacific states. As a result of his observations during the journey he Is of the opinion that the Democrats will win in the fall elections. He says the people in the West are thoroughly aroused over the trust and tariff questions.

"We have the Republicans on the run on trust and tariff issues," said he, "for the people know that the Republicans during the seven months Congress was In session absolutely refused to enact any legislation to control trusts or revise the tariff because the trusts were opposed to tariff legislation. And President Roosevelt In his recent speeches has been telling the people what he would do with the trusts after the elections. "No doubt the President Is sincere in his declaration against the trusts, but the people do not forget that he is not the Republican party, and they cannot forget that his party refused to pass the Cuban reciprocity bill which he recommended. There is no need for a constitutional amendment to regulate and control trusts. "If we elect the next House, as I believe we will, we will pass an anti trUBt law that will do the work if the Republican law officers of the government will enforce it." Mr.

Gaines has been invited by the Democratic Congressional Committee to make a number of speeches in some of the close districts in the East, and if he can make the arrangements he will accept. DORMAN PATTERSON TICKET. A meeting of the Sixteenth Election District Republican Association was held last night at 244 Flatbush avenue and the ticket known as the Dorman Patterson ticket went through without any opposition.

Three Youths Are Under Arrest on the Charge 'of Having Bobbed the Michael Higgins, a bo's'n's mate on the warship Massachusetts, left the vessel at Tompklnsvllle yesterday with $360 in' his wallet. Last night be awoke in a vacant lot somewhere in the neighborhood of ths dark arches of the bridge with a splitting headache and no cash: Policeman James Doyle of the Fulton street station had the empty wallet this morning and three prisoners, who are said to be the persons who relieved the sailormari of his money. The prisoners are Robert Tangley of 115 Nassau street, Edward Roderiguez of 127 Jay street and Edward Henson of 154 Jay street.

The charge against the prisoners is robbery and Magistrate Dooley of the Adams street court held them each for hearing on the 16th inst. in default of $1,000. bail. Higgins is a native of Birkenhead, England, but he has been in Uncle Sam's naval service for years and years. He is usually temperate, but the sailors on the Massachusetts had been so successful in the in terfleet races this summer that every man of the crew has money to burn and it was, perhaps, natural that when Higgins found the solid land us.der his feet yesterday he started to celebrate.

The men of the ship won on an aggregate $2,500 on; the races while the ships were watting for the naval maneuvers a short time ago and Higgins, who had staked nearly all of his pay on the events, was just $360 ahead. The last races were at Wood's Holl and Higgins was away ahead on them. When the vessel reached the roadway at Tompkinsville yesterday Higgins was one of the lucky ones who got a leave of absence. He took the Staten Island ferryboat for Manhattan and landed at the Battery early In the forenoon. In.

the shadow of one of the maples there he took out his stuffed wallet arid selected a ten dollar bill from ltt as he wanted to buy a pair of shore shoes' arid ho did not know to a dot how much they would cost. He found that $3 was all that was needed and he started out to spend the rest in rum. He was a bit unsteady when he took a trolley car in the evening over 'the bridge, but he was quite' alive to the fact that" he had a lot of money in his pocket and that it was up to him to take very' good care of it. He thought he would have. a time with some of his old messmates at the Navy Yard, but when he got down to the Navy Yard gate he could see no sailorfffen about and he decided to, go But he got tangled locaQtyi 'W4lBn he reached the corneroTlSands alia" Jay'streets he met a number of Innocent looking He asked them to direct him.

in the nearest way to Manhattan and they said, very much to his surprise, that they would show him' the nearest way if he' would buy them a drink. He agreed and with the reranant of the" ten dollars gave them two turns at the C. Then they left' the sal6on where they Were, Duffy's, at the corner. They were to show him a. short cut and they took him through a number of dark alleys and finally landed him in a vacant lot.

He hasa very well defined InYpresion "now thaf'tneaTquor was drugged, but he worries over the thought that such young lads, for the oldest was not more than would do such disgraceful thing. He awoke in about two hours and found that he; penniless. Then he found his way after much trouble to the police station on Fulton street and told the police about his experience.

Detective Brennan and Officers Donnelly, Murphy and Doyle were turned out to look after the thieves and before daybreak they had rounded up the prisoners, all of whom admitted that they had seen sailor, but not one of them wools say that he engaged in the robbery. Tangley had five dollars goncealed in one of his stockings, Henson had four dollars in one of his shoes and Roderiguez admitted that he had planked ten dollars under the carpet in his room. But all denied that they had taken as much as $350 from the sailormarr. Trie police helieve Higgins' story. It gibes with the experience of other men who have been victims of footpads and crooks in the vicinity.

The War Against Mosquitoes and Typhoid Fever Carried on Vigorously. PLAN TO DRAIN BIG SWAMP AREA Proposal to Convey "Water to Knickerbocker Avenue Sewer, Brooklyn 16 Typhoid Cases at College Point. (Special to the Eagle.

Jamaica, L. September 11 A hearing was given at the Queens oBrough Board of Health offices to day in the matter of filling 1b and draining a number of ponds in the town of Newtown, as a part of the campaign now being carried on against the mosquito pest. About all of the owners expressed themselves as willing to co operate with the health authorities in the matter, and the work will be proceeded with as rapidly as possible. In the meantime the health officials are steadily at work with their sprinkling pots and hose sprinklers, covering all ol the stagnant ponds in the borough with crude oil for the purpose of destroying all larvae that may exist. One of the worst spots that exists in the ward Is a tract of thirty or forty acres of swamp south of Lutheran Cemetery and between Glendale and Fresh Pond junction.

This swamp, filled with dense growth of shrubs, is kept almost continually under water by the drainage from Lutheran Cemetery, and the adjoining hills. Some years ago it was dammed up by the Long Island Railroad Company's embankment, but in compliance with a request of the Newtown Board of eHalth the railroad company several years ago built culverts in the embankment and a large part of the water now runs through those to the southwest of the track, where a good sized pond and another swamp exists. The swamp and pond cover portions of the farm of the Henry Meyer estate, and of Sheriff Henry Doht and Mrs. Travis. It is the opinion of theHealth Department and property owners that the only way to eeffctually drain all of the area is to have a big trunk sewer built down either Myrtle or Cypress avenue, to connect with the big intercepting sewer at Knickerbocker avenue, Brooklyn, by means of which the surplus water will be conveyed to the East River.

A measure to effect this was introduced in the Board of Aldermen a year ago and to put the entire expense on property owners adjacent to the line instead of one third on the city at large. This was shown to be so unjust to the property owners involved, who would have to bear the entire burden while, the cemetery and other upland avenues would escape all assessments, that the matter was then dropped. The agitation of the question has brought out the importance of a general sewer system for that portion of the Town of Newtown that will not be reached by the sewer now being built on Broadway and the entire matter will be pressed upon the city authorities at an early date. It is recognized to be a measure of the utmost Importance to the health of what is rapidly becoming to be a thickly populated neighborhood. In the meantime the necessity of a proper sewer system at College Point Is being brought out by the development of sixteen well defined cases of typhoid fever in that village owing mainly, it Is thought, to the wretched system of sewerage disposal for the place.

Every sewor of College Point, including three or four big mains and scores of private drains empty directly Into Flushing Bay at the shore front of the village. This not only Infects the atmosphere, but the oysters, clams and other seafood which is grown or fatted that section. The health officials say that there are a number of mild cases that go about the village unrecognized, but these persons are more likely to spread the disease even in a dangerous form than those who are in their beds. The Bayside typhoid cases supposed to have been Infected by milk for the Charles H. Tilton farm are on the road to recovery.

Two are being attended at their homes and several at the Flushing Hospital. The pond owners of the Town of Flushing and that section of Jamaica north of the Normal School, who were directed two weeks ago to fill their ponds, are rapidly filling or draining them dry. A PLEA FOR REAL ORATORY. Eugene V.

Old joke books are brought out for suggestions, Cicero and Demosthenes are reviewed for inspiration, the Eagle Almanac is analyzed for statistics and the walls of the attic are commanded to be still and listen to the frequent rehearsals even the walls have ears. Many beautifully rounded sentences and rhetorical figures are being turned Into shape every night and no doubt there is already designed and memorized many a climax something like this: "We have for our candidate a man whose name is enshrined in the heart of every man, woman and child in this great Empire State; a man whose intellectual capacity Is only exceeded by his pure and virtuous character; a man who has ever been the warm friend of labor and whose strong arm will never tire fighting the cause of the producers I refer to that greatest of statesmen, that sterling citizen, that able, fearless, patriot (name to be filled in after the convention). Is there anything more amusing than to visit the various meetings during an exciting campaign? How ludicrous the spectacle, how silly and superficial the arguments! Most of the speakers seem to think that the more noise they make and the more acrobatic feats they perform, the greater their oratory. The gallery likes it, for it partakes somewhat of the nature of a circus or a vaudeville performance, but how many votes does it make? How many Republicans attend Democratic meetings, and vice versa, and of these how many ever change their minds? The independents, the "great silent vote," are usually thinking people and they decide the questions in issue by reading the newspapers and going to hear two or three of the tig orators. The most that can be said of the little ward and district meetings Is that one of the speakers is bound to make a point sooner or later, a real argument, and somebody will digest it and pass it around here and there from day to day until it perhaps bears fruit In the mind of some doubtful voter.

But how can a speaker expect to make a respectable speech under the arrangements usually mapped out by the various committees? The good speaker is usually assigned to speak at three or four different meetings on the same night. He rushes into one meeting, through a room full of tobacco smoke and alcoholic atmosphere, where some sitting, some standing and some walking about. He waits for several local orators to make their little speeches, then in rushes one of the candidates amid the sound of drums and horns and when at last our speaker's turn comes the audience is only capable of listening to wild ranting or very broad Jokes. A man must be really an orator to hold such an audience with good diction, grace and real argument, and there are few such that are sent to the smaller meetings. This can all be remedied if those in authority have the good sense to arrange matters properly and exercise more discretion in the choice of speakers.

The speakers' bureau should be controlled by men who know what oratory Is and they should select only such men as are capable of carrying out their Ex Chiefs Friends Hunting a Permanent American Residence for Him. TAMMANY LEADERS LINE UP. Everybody Regards the Struggle as a Croker Carroll War Sullivan Non Committal. Samuel Untermyer of the law firm of Guggenheimer, Untermyer Marshall, who is the personal counsel of Richard Croker, arrived from Europe on the steamship Teutonic this morning. Mr.

Untermyer brought the information direct from Mr. Croker himself that the Tammany ex chlef is coming back to this country to live. Mr. Untermyer spent a week at Wantage. He refused to talk for publication this morning about his visit, but through a fellow passenger, who spoke with authority, it was learned that Mr.

Croker told him that although he was getting the peace and quiet he wanted, he was not contented to live In England. Mr. Croker said that he had his friends trying to find a place in America where he could live without being bothered by people, political and otherwise. As soon as this place is found Mr. Croker said that he would return and live permanently In this country.

Mr. Croker positively stated, however, that he would not return this year. Ex Attorney General Griggs was on the same steamship. He said that he had passed Mr. Croker's place at Wantage' while he was out driving one day.

"My coachman," said Mr. Griggs, "had a pronounced cockney accent and I had hard work to understand him. When we came to Mr. Croker's place my coachman said, 'there is h'an h'American gentleman living 'ere, I asked him who is was. The coachman twisted Mr.

Croker's name around so that it sounded like Cricker and for a long time I couldn't make out who he was talking about. I was very much surprised to see what an unpretentious little place Mr. Croker had, as I had had a very different Idea of it." When Mr. 'Untermyer was told of Mr. Griggs' experience he laughed and said: "Yes, Mr.

Griggs told me about It, but the funny part is that the place Mr. Griggs saw wasn't Mr. Croker's home at all. I didn't tell him, however." P. J.

Britt, who was formerly sheriff's counsel for Sheriffs Grell and Dunn, said he had spent one day at Wantage and that Mr. Croker had appeared to be in good health. Mr. Britt refused to say anything further of his visit. Charles F.

Murphy's political backers in; Manhattan were saying positively this morning that Richard Croker has indorsed Mur phy's candidacy for leader and that Croker is coming back at once to attend the obsequies of John F. Carroll and John C. Shee han, whom Murphy expects to bury together immediately after the primaries. At no time since Croker left for England has his name been so freely and airily used. The Murphy people appear to believe just what they say.

That Is the explanation, in the opinion of observing politicians, of the confidence evinced by, the Murphy men in the defeat of Carroll and the election of Murphy as leader. Murphy's supporters say that Croker has transmitted instructions to his representatives in the executive committee to vote for Murphy, and that Senator Maurice Feather son Is the man who Is expected to bring the "old guard" into line. Senator Featherson has been supporting the candidacy of Thomas E. Rush against Carroll for the leadership of the Twenty ninth Assembly District. While these developments have progressed under his supervision here, Croker has been, according to the Murphy men, selling his English stable, closing out his dairy and making arrangements to return to America.

They expect him back very soon. They say that he wants Murphy to do the detail work of governing Tammany Hall while he assumes an advisory attitude. Croker, it is claimed, will not accept any official place in the organization, but he will take the same position with respect to the affairs of Tammany that Hugh McLaughlin has held for many years toward the Kings County Democratic organization. Carroll refused to talk about these claims of the Murphy men when seen by an Eagle reporter at the Hotel Savoy this morning. He said that he knew nothing conclusive on the subject.

Some of his friends said for him that he believed Croker was coming back, but that he did not believe that Croker had committed himself to Murphy or ordered his friends to vote for the ex Dock Commissioner. Carroll is of the opinion, according to these friends, that Croker will, when he comes back, oppose Murphy, and if he can regain control of the organization put Senator Featherson at its head as his deputy. Both Carroll and Sullivan' are credited in inside Tammany circles with the conviction that the real fight is coming on the plain Croker and antl Croker basis issue. To them, everything else is a skirmish. Croker is represented as being hostile to the limit against Carroll, while Carroll is resolute in his ambition to dominate Tammany Hall, with or without Croker's aid.

All of the Tammany leaders now look on Carroll as the logical leader of the antl Croker forces and they expect a battle royal when the issue is finally joined. Murphy's claim to Sullivan's support was denied this morning, as foreshadowed in the Eagle of Tuesday and yesterday. The utmost that can be safely said of the relations between Sullivan and Murphty is that they are friendly. Sullivan backed Murphy for membership in the advisory committee, but he is not now backing him for leader. Sullivan has no intention, so far as can be learned, of committing himself in any of the minor controversies now going on, but he Is believed to have fully made up his mind to wait until the December meeting of the executive committtee before he takes sides.

He has abandoned his attitude of dictation for the present. He may resume It again at the insistance of Croker, but some of his friends say he 13 just as likely to oppose Croker and support Carroll. There was a rumor at the Hotel Savoy this morning that Meyer T. Stein, the Greater New York Democracy leader of the Twenty ninth Assembly District, will retire In favor of Carroll. John C.

Sheehan Is said to have advised this course. An understanding between Carroll and Sheehan has been shown to exist in several of the districts. Several members of the Croker "old guard" are said to day to be interested in an effort to bring Croker and Carroll together. They are the men who are opposed to Murphy's election as leader. There Is no expectation that they will disobey Croker, however, If he orders them to oppose Carroll and to aid In the election of either Murphy or Featherson.

Sunday, September 21. i If the ability to move and arouse one's hear ers is oratory, then every ranting enthusiast with a loud voice and loose joints is an orator, which, of course, he is not. If the abili ty to convince and persuade is oratory, then a lisping, tongue tied physician who has convinced his patients that a certain medi i cine is best Is an orator. The definition given is therefore, defective, because oratory consists of more than the I power to move and convince and please.

Daniel Webster once said, "He is an orator i who can make me think as he thinks and feel as he feels," although he should have added, provided he is polished, dignified and manly." Oratory appeals both to the heart and to the mind. McCarthy. In "Our Own Time," says that oratory is the fusion of reason and passion. This may be' correct, but passion is r.n ill chosen word, for it might be taken to mean shouting, "sawing the air." anger, ranting and raving. Passion is often exhibited in the most quiet, dignified and simple expression, and among cultured people this is usually the most impressive.

We applaud vigorously the acrobatic feats of some speakers and love to hear the thunder of their voices in rage and excitement over a popular cause, yet we would quicker yield our judgment and reason to the man who is master of his passions, who has thought deeply and whose manner is indicative of the philosopher rather than of the excited actor. We trust and believe the man who speaks thoughtfully, deliberately and yet impressively, rather than the man who permits his passions and enthusiasm to run away with him. Angir and rage are not necessary to oratory. Wild shouting and tearing around upon the platform, however pleasing to some, is not oratory, because it does not convince since it does not act upon the mind, and is only temporary in effect. I would say that oratory is the art of dignified public speaking in such manner as to convince and at the same time please one's hearers.

Pericles. 475 B. was the father of oratory, and Demosthenes its greatest son. Perhaps the greatest oration in literature was the funeral oration of Pericles at the close of the Peloponnestan war. It was a semi military occasion, yet the oration contains none of the wild ranting so common in modern oratory.

There are various ways of expressing rage or anger. The lion roars, the dog growls and barks, the cat spits and cries, the pig grunts and squeals; but man, the latest improvement on the beast, either snarls or shouts, yells or wildly gesticulates, or calm ly yet firmly exhibits disdain or contempt, accompanied with a dignified though stinging rebuke, according to the character of the man. A low brute of a man would adopt the former and the thinking, intellectual man the latter. It is not the oration so much as it is the n.an behind the oration. None but a great man can be a great orator.

Demosthenes was an intellectual man. else he could never have produced that model of eloquence, "On the Crown." Cicero, 106 B. C. was also a profound philosopher and patriotic statesman, as his orations show. Shakspeare's oration over Caesar's dead body, attributed to Marc Antony, is a perfect model of the art of winning and capturing an antagonistic audience.

Such marvelous cunning, such clever maneuvering, such profound knowledge of human nature, such consummate acting if it were acting has probably never been equaled. Step by step, point by pclnt. he gained the sympathy of the mob until at last he made them think as he thought, feel as he felt. Brutus was not "an honorable man" after all. and Caesar was cruelly and foully murdered by his friends.

Antony was a master of the art of winning, of convincing, of capturing the reason of his hearers, and that Is oratory. How many of our political orators of today try to convince? They simply try to please, and what they lack in brains they supply in lungs and borrowed humor. Whom shall the young American take as a model orator? Opinions differ. Jefferson said that Patrick Henry was the greatest orator that ever lived. The French swear by Mirabeau.

The English will never forget Burke and Pitt. The Americans will always remember Clay. Webster, Calhoun. Phillips and Beecher. The time of Charles I produced Vane, Pym and Eliot.

The pulpit of France produced Bossuet. Bourdaloue and Massll lon. All the world knows Henry W. Grady, Brougham, Blaine, Chatham, Emmett, Barre. Grattan.

Hugo. Kossuth, Washington, Gladstone, Sheridan and Canning, just as future generations will never cease to remember Bryan and Cockran. Wendell Phillips said that the greatest orator of modern times was O'Connell. "I do not think I exaggerate." he said, "when I say that never, since God made Demosthenes, has He made a man better fitted for a great work than He did when He made O'Connell. Webster could address a bench of judges, Everett could charm a college, Choate could delude a jury.

Clay could magnetize a Senate and Tom Corwin could hold a mob In his right hand; but no one of these men could do more than this one thing. The wonder about O'Connell was that he could out talk Corwin; he could charm a college bettor than Everett, and leave Henry Clay far behind in magnetizing a Senate." The truth is, America Is not producing great orators. It is becoming a lost art. It is not now regarded as a necessary part of one's education, as of old, the pen usurping its power more or less, and it seems to require war, revolution or some great public disturbance as an incentive. This should not be.

Why cannot the politicians do something in the way of traustorming a very large supply of ranters into good speakers, at least, if not real orators? EUGENE V. BREWSTER. Brooklyn. September 9, 1902. BYRNE ASSOCIATION OUTING.
