He was elect-) ed with 94 votes out of 100 and after j serving that term, the silver Republi- j cans in Colorado merged with the; Democrats and Mr. Teller returned to ! the Senate —that time as a Democrat.' He served one term as such and re- j tired in 1903 to make a place for the j late Senator Hughes, also of the same I party. News of Mr. Teller's death was re-1 ceived with deep regret in congres- , sional circles where those who were of his time referred to it as the pass- j lng of another old line Senator.

V LEADING QUESTION Arthur Train, assistant district at torney of New York, has a ready wit which has caused the downfall of many witnesses. This was proved re cently In a divorce trial. Sir. Train was cross-examining the plaintiff, with whom he had the following tilt: "You claim this woman drinks, is that the reason you wish to divorce her?" "Yes, sir." "Do you drink yourself?" "That's my business!" angrily re sponded the irate husband. Unmoved, Mr. Train asked this question: "Have you any other business?" — The Argonaut.

UNTEACHABLK TAMMANY "You can't teach Tammany Hall moral politics. Tammany Hall is blind to that sort of thing. You'd waste your sermons and homilies on such an in stitution." The occasion was a luncheon, the speaker John Purroy Mltchel, fusion candidate for Mayor of New York. "Yes," he continued, "to teach Tam many morality would be like teaching a little girl mineralogy. "A teacher, you know, spent a long time explaining to her class what a mineral was. " 'A mineral,' said the teacher, sum ming up—'a mineral is an inorganic homogeneous substance of definite chemical composition, found In na ture. You have all seen minerals. Now who will name me some?' " " 'I will, teacher,' said a little girl. " 'Very well —go ahead. Three minerals, please.' " 'Ginger-ale, sa'sp'rella and pear I cider,' said the little girl."—New York Press. SENORA VILLA, WIFE OF THE MEXICAN GENERAL Senora Villa, the real wife of General Pancha Villa, has been with him at Juarez for some time. This Is the (lrst picture ever published of her. While Villa has been marching over Mexico spreading: devastation, she has been at home. It Is possible that she will become the first lady of Mexico, for Villa Is now the strongest man there, except President Huert'a. Within three months he has taken more territory and won inoro br.ttlcs than all the other Insurgent commanders. While Carranza Is the ostensible head of the Insurgent movement, he has been overshadowed by the man who took Juarez, Chihuahua and OJinaga. LITTLE NOTES FROM NEW PUBLIC "Her Ladyship's Second Youth," by Charles Snxby, gives a marked distinc tion to Alnslee's March issue. It is a brilliant and powerful piece of work. The beautiful wife of the governor ol' an island in the West Indies has be come cold and reserved, her life seem ingly wrapped in a mental state as gray in tone as the clothes she chooses. She is suddenly awakened to the warmth and possibilities of liv ing by the ardor of a kiss meant for another, which she thinks her own attraction has inspired. Its effect is marvelous, on her own character as well as on the political, social and personal life of the Island. Against a background of charming, vivid de scription, this story is cleverly devel oped up to a dramatic climax. Bonnie R. Ginger writes a tale of Gloucester, which fairly teems with the atmosphere of that attractive old fishing village by the sea. Its title is "Out for Self-Expresslon." William Slavens McNutt contributes "Heenan's Ace," another of this hero's savagely dramatic adventures in the North. The cause of woman suffrage gets into Action in this number of Ains lee's through two good stories. The popular hero of I. A. R. Wylle's "The Romantic Adventures of Sandy McOrab" protects a pretty girl who breaks a window in Ix>ndon and gets himself arrested for his chivalry. Rob ert Emmet MacAlarney contributes an adventurous, humorous tale called "Boadlcea's Putter," the theme con cerning itself largely with the march of the suffragettes to Albany. "Tigress," by Ronald Mac Donald, depicts the fierce mother love that turns a gentlewoman into a fiend when her child is kidnaped. It is a remark ably strong story. "The Woman Who Did Not Care." by Mary Gaunt, is a thrilling tale of an uprising in China. Joseph Ernest's "The Same Old Story" FEBRUARY 23, 1914. . is a cleverly written episode of New York life. Other excellent fiction in this num- ' ber is "The Black Bap," by Wells Hastings; "None So Blind," by \Y Carey Wonderly; "The Passing of Aunt Deborah," by Ralph Stock, ano "The Grooming of Sarah Mudd," by Edna Rock. ANNOUNCEMENT IIIUKFS | Two books by, prominent leaders in i socialistic thought are in press for I early publication. These are Robert | Hunter's "Violence and the Labor Move- I ment," which deals with the mighty | conflict that raged throughout the lat ter part of the last century for posses ; sion of the soul of labor, and William ' English Waiting's "Progressivism and After," a study of what the immediate future of government and politics in this country is to be. Mr. Hunter's book will probably appear this month, while Mr. Waiting's will come out early in March. The English edition of Yves Guyot's ! "Where and Why Public Ownership I Has Failed" is shortly to be published. Miss H. F. Baker is responsible for the translation. The volume is a considera i tion of those reforms which have re sulted from State ownership and opera ! tion. i Morton Prince's introduction to the i study of abnormal psychology, which he has entitled "The Unconscious: The ) Fundamentals, of Human Personality," lis to be ready within a few weeks. I While based on sound research nnd ex | periment, the work is said to have a decided popular interest which will give it a strong appeal to the general reader as well as to the scientist. To bis popular quartet of books, all of them published within the last year —"Gitanjali, The Gardener, The Cres cent Moon and Sadhana"—Rablndranath Tagore, the Nobel prize winner, now adds his play "Chitra." This will be on the market oh the 25th of Febru ary. ALBRIGHT RECITAL BIG MUSICAL EVEN! Program Is of Scope Seldom Aty tempted and Never Before Heard Here The Beethoven Concerto, which New-- ell Albright Is to piay on Thursday evening. February 26. with Frederlo C. Martin's assistance. Is the famous fourth In G—which Godowskv played last season with the Philadelphia Or chestra with such wonderful virtuosity. It Is of the period of the great flftlx Symphony , with an opening theme strikingly like the HO well known open ing motif of that work. The cadenzas used by Mr. Albright lire tho original ones written for tlie Concerto by Beeth oven. The presentation of ft composition of so great a scope—in extent a small symphony-—is undoubtedly a musical event of tho first magnitude. Mr. Al bright lias the unique distinction of following a determined and consistent policy of presenting to the public only the very greatest of the compositions written for the piano, and which we are not always given an opportunity to hear even in tho extremely rare visits of famous virtuosi. There Is sufficient of the popular element in his program, as witness the waltzes by Brahms, and the korgoous Oriental fantasy by Balikirew, not to mention the remark- ' able concert studies of Polclini and the famous "perpetual motion" of the 1 Weber Sonata, to make It of interest to | the musically uncultured. Senator Penrose Will Spend Short Time Here on Way to Lykens Valley Senator Boles Penrose, who is sched uled to speak to-morrow evening at Lykens under the auspices of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, will be hero for a couple of hours to morrow.
