Already quite a number of congress men have Introduced bills for the erec tion of public buildings in their dis tricts. It has been pretty hard sled ding for this class of legislation for the past two yeais, and the outlook for the future Is not more favorable.

When the demonstra tion subsided, tho speaker mildly ob served that the privilege was not one of that pecullnr character which de manded recognition, and Sir. SleKenzIe sat down.

Tho most advanced book, doctrlnally speaking, since the Reformation has been Issued from tho most Welsh nnd the most Puritanical diocese In tho Kingdom-Ban-gor.

It Is rumored that the absence of Sir. D. A. Thomas, SI, 1., from parliament Is duo to tho fact that ho has gone on an expedition to search up his Junior colleague, Sir. Prlchard Slorgan. ThU, however. Is not true, as Mr. Thomas go"s no farther than tho Riviera, where he Is recuperating. The Home Secretary Informed Sir.

In this week's "Papur Pawb," the Welsh "Tlt-IHts," thero appears a bio graphical sketch, with a strikingly life like photo, of Sir. Owen Owen, tho new uhlet Inspector of Welsh Intermediate schools. Sir. Owen Is We'.sh born and Welsh speaking, has knowledge of Latin, of Greek, and of tho tonic sol-fa sys tem, and Is married. Sir. Richard Temple, tho celebrated nc tor, who Is now tho professor of elocu tion nt the Roynl College of Music, says that tho Welsh aro much easier to train for dramatic work than the English or tho Scotch, but ho doubts whether they nro superior to tho Irish. He says that Welsh pupils aro far less "self conscious" than those coming from other pans of the United Kingdom. A good story of nn old Welsh minister and a slatternly nnd dirty female mem ber of his congregation is told In tli' . month's "Trygorfa y Plant." "Isn't thero a door to your house. Sirs. Jones?" asked the pastor. She said, of course, there was, and asked why. "Oh," said the min ister, "I thought you had to go In and out through tho chimney." Tho "Hrython," a Welsh Unionist pa per published at Lampeter, states that "religion dies out In Wales wherever the Welsh language loses ground." Tho "Hrython" Is doing something to bring this about, for nlneteen-twentleths of Its advertisements are In a pagan tongue. Our own John T. Watklns Is a pupil of this same distinguished actor at tho Royal Academy of SIuslc. It Is a red-hot fact that the Irish pop ulation of Slaestcg aro more patriotic than their Welsh cousins. St. Patrick's Day was celebrated with enthusiasm thpro on Wednesday, but on St. David's Day there were no lepks, no concert, no pro cession, no dinner, no eisteddfod, no noth ing. It Is understood that the Inhabitants havo been waiting for four years, and will wait four more, till their member, lr. S, T. Evans, can spare them two hours. Father Ignatius Is an Inveterate Welsh nationalist and seems to havo swallowed every grain of tho Wales for tho Welsh" policy. Writing of tho Rev. T. C. Phil lips, of Eg'.wys Dewl Sant, on his book on Church Saints' day, tho reverend la ther says: "Such a work as this will largely contribute towards the mainten ance of the Welsh language against tho ever advancing encroachments of tho Eng lish."

An unusual occurrence occurred In South Wales recently. Silts Mtles-Bynon, a pop ular soprano of Slerthyr, was encored, and responded with "O Frynlan Cacr salem Oclr Gwelcd," singing tho words to tho old Welsh melody "V Fwyalchen." Natuially excited by her warm reception, tho singer breathed emotion Into tho well known old hymn, and scarco had tho last noto died away beforo tho whole au dience rose nnd sang tho hymn through with several "repeats," Just as It had been a cymanfa gann. Not many tourists aro nwaro that In a park called Gwaengnog, about two miles from Denbigh, there Is a monument con sisting of n tall Grecian William, resting on a pedestal, which was erected to tho memory of Dr. Sumucl Jahnson. On nne sldo Is Inscribed the date of hh death, nnd on the other an Inscription record ing tho fact "thnt the spot was often dig nified by tho prcsenco of the great mor alist, whose writings, exactly conform.t tlvo to the principles of Christianity, g.ivo ardor to virtue and confidence tu truth.' Tho ncv Ellas Owen, In his intcret Ing "Welsh Folk-lore," relates a curious anecdote of "Tegld," tho Welsh scholar nnd bard. "In his ('Tegld's') absence from church (at Nevcrn), when lying on his death-bed, on the morning of tho Lord's Day, whilst a neighboring clergy, mnn was taking the servlco for him, thfi Vnlpil of Ihft rpmlnr vn amltltmlv drowned by the beautiful song of u thuuh ' that tilled tho whole church. It was ascer tained on leaving tho churrh that at that very moment the soul of Tegld' left his body for tho world of spirits." One of tho most e!oquent passages In tho Rev. Hartwell Jones' seimon at St. Paul's, now published, Is that In which ho refers to tho monument of eminent Welshmen In that famous church among them thoso of Sir William Jones, .he Orientalist; Sir Thomas Plcton, the hpro of the Peninsula and Waterloo, nnd John Owen, tho epigrammatist. Of the last mentioned the preacher says: "Neither Wales nor England nor Europe w.ns largo enough to contain his fame or compre hended his genius, and yet hts fame and emlnenco could not extinguish his love of Wales nnd tho We'.sh language. A lengthy Interview with SIlss Slagglo Davles appears In tho Slnrch number of "Tho Englishwoman." It Is from the pen of tho Peiey Cross Standing, nnd Is no- I compunled by an excellent portrait. Mlrs Davles gives somo sound advice to thote who would excel as vocalists, and makes two statements which will surprise her most Intlmato friends. One Is that she ! suffers dreadfully from Insomnia, and tho other that she was born In Dowlnl", "a , lltllo village" In South Wales. For the llrst Sir. Standing recommended a courr of his own poems, but for tho latter wo . Imagine he will have to recommend some- thing far more afllcaclous to cool the 1 angry feelings of the Dowlals people, who Imagine thnt their town of 30,000 Inhabitants ought to bo tho capital of Wales.

THE KING LAID HIS HAND OOHE TABLE And In It Were Four Ace?, but, Alas, They Didn't Count. KALAKANA WAS SIMPLY BLUFFED Hoivn N'cvnda Itnnchmnu Won n Uig Jackpot in n l'okcr CimiD with tho King of tho iliiwnllnn Islands ThruiiKli tho Lnttcr's Mlsumtor stiindiut,' oi tho Ilngllsli Lttngungo. Tho visit of ox-Queen Llliuokalant to this country has, says tho Washing ton Post, brought up several stories of her late brother, King Knlakaua, who was a lover of the fnelnatlng gamo of diaw poker and Is said to havo been, un adept and quite proud of his knowl edge of the game. This Btoiy is re lated by a man who has spent much of his life in the Hawaiian lslnnds and. who was quite Intimate with the king: "There was a wealthy ranchman of Nevada who once came to Honolulu to look after soma business he had ac quired In the Islands and being fond of poker soon made a wide acquaintance with the Americans and Englishmen In the city who Indulged In the game. After each night's play, when remin iscences of the game were In order, some one would Invariably tell a story of the king cither about his style of play or the large amounts of his win nings and losses. The ranchman al ways listened with Interest to these stories nnd llnally expressed a deslro to mingle Willi the monarch and his cabinet In a friendly set-to. Tho only objection offered was that several mem bers of tho cabinet could speak no Eng lish, nnd consequently the ranchman, who had no knowledge of the natlvo tongue, would bo placed at a disad vantage. "This objection seemed Insurmount able until a young American, who un derstood both language perfectly, said that he would undertake to teach tho tanchman a few poker terms in tho native language, such as 'I see you,' "I raise you,' and 'that's good,' and tho numerals, so that he could designate tho proper amount of his bet. Tho ranchman was an apt pupil and In a few days his teacher pronounced him fit for the battle. As luck would havo It the king had Just mortgaged the tax receipts, paid off the cabinet, and all were anxious for a game. THE GASIE BEGINS. "The ranchman was presented In duo form and politely asked by the king to sit in a little table-stake gamo which was just starting. The gamo prog ressed very smoothly for an hour or two, but the bets were growing larger every hand, and all knew that some one would suffer before the gamo. ended. "The kln;r and the ranchman had been bucking against each other all tluuugh the game, nnd It was a toss up between them as to who was tho more skillful player. Finally at tho king's suggestion a Jackpot was mudo for a hundred dollars. It passed sev eral times, and with tho seven In tho game sweetening It at every clip, I tell you It was about the prettiest pot I ever saw. The king finally caught upeneis nnd broke it for a hundred. All hands stayed around to the ranch man, and he made It flvo hundred to diuw cards. The king promptly mado It a thousand better when It reached him and tho rest of the players dropped out. The ranchman raised the king back a thousand and tho king came backnt him for the same amount. Each drew two caids. I saw that the king had drawn another ace making four aces for him, and the ranchman had filled up three kings with a pair of queens. The king said he would bet a thousand, the ranchman raised him Ave thousand, and the king raised back for the same amount. REACHES A CLIMAX. The ranchman then pushed a blank check Into the pot and said something that sounded like this: " 'Ump thra a gug-u luck I a! "Tho king looked at him closely for a moment and then laid down his four noes and left tho table and this broko up the game. I was atsounded at his action, and finding his majesty In an ante-room trying to drown out tho memory of his losses, I asked: " 'Your majesty, what made you lay down those four aces?' " 'Didn't you- hear what that man said?' he 'sorrowfully Inquired. " 'No,' said I. 'What did he say?' " 'Why, when he pushed that blank check Into the pot he said, 'I'll ralso you eleven million dollars!" ' "In tho excitement of the play tho ranchman had gotten his numbers mixed and had almost prostrated tho king with the size of the bet." kxi:w ins nusiNEss. An KiikIIsIi Lawyer Who Had Ilig Wits Under His Command. The ready wit of tho late Sir. Butt, Q. C SI. P., more than once stood him. In good stead. He himself often told two stories relating to widely divergent circumstances, hut bearing on the samo point. Going homo late one night, he was -.vecostod by a desperate-looking ruffian in one of the suburbs of Dub lin, and usUed what he was going to stand. "Well," replied Sir.
