American audiences are strangely alike in some things and strangely dis- similar in others. A good committee will take as much pains in the ar rangement of its audience as of its speakers. An audience seated without crowding is seldom enthusiastic. Nei: ther is an audience whose hands ara occupieg with bundles or umbrellas, an audience largely composed of women or an audience in a cold room. The easiest audiences to address, the most responsive and inspiring, are those composed of men crowded and packed together and warm. Women naturally do not applaud or cheer. They are by instinct more self restrained in the public expression of their emotions than men. Every public speaker is complimented by their pres- ence, knowing that their quiet word at home is oftentimes more effective in results than the most enthusiastic shouting on the street corners by the other sex. In a public meeting, how- ever, the audience gets its cue from those nearest the speaker. I remember well two audiendes, both from the same social class, both crowded, both in large theaters and both largely at- tended by women. One happened to be in Colorado, one in Massachusetts. In one meeting the orchestra was re- served for women. In the other meet- ing the men had the orchestra and the women had the lower gallery and all the boxes. In both cases the audiences were entirely friendly to the speakers. The second meeting was marked by wild enthusiasm, the first one by re- spectful attention. In the second case the mass of men in the orchestra urged on the speakers by continued applause. In the first case the men in the galler- ies who started to applaud were checked because between them and the speakers was a mass of absolutely silent femininity in the orchesira. I do not say that one meeting was less ef- fective than the other, but the differ ence in tae scrain on the speaker was marked.— From “The Spellbinder,” by Colonel Curtis Guild, Jr., in Secrib- ner’s. A Supreme Court Coincidence. While in session the associate justices of the United States supreme court are seated on either side of the chief jus tice, in’ the order of their commissions, the oldest in commission on his right, the next oldest on ‘his left; the third is second on the right and the fourth sec- ond on the left, and so on alternately, the youngest in commission occupying the seat on the extreme left. When Justice Field was the senior associate, this arrangement produced this curious result: The names of the justices on the right had but a single syllable—Field, Gray, Brown and White —while the names of those on the lefi had two syllables—Harlan, Brewer. Shiras and Peckham. All were mar: ried, but no one of the justices on the right had ever had any children, while each of those on the left had both chil dren and grandchildren. The color were all on the right—Gray, Brown anc White—while the left was colorless.— Youth’s Companion. No Influence Above. In Dr. John Hall's time it was the custom in his church to use the old fashioned, simple hymns, and the sing ing was congregational. On one occasion William M. Evarts discovered E. Delafield Smith, ther corporation counsel of New York city singing with all his heart and whis pered to his friend: “Why, there is Smith singing *I want to be an angel!” 1 knew he want ed to be district attorney, but I didn’ know he wanted te be an angel.” The remark was repeated to Mr Smith, and quick as a flash came the retort: “No, I have never mentioned the mat ter to Evarts, knowing that he had nc influence in that direction.” Loading Satan Down, “Lightning knocked the church stee ple down.” some one said to Brothe Dickey. “Yes; Satan’s eyes alway flash fire when he sees a church stee ple gwine up.” “And here's na colore brother killed another at a camp meet ing.” “Yes: Satan goes ter meetin ‘long wid de res’ er dem en sometime shouts de loudes’.” “And a preache was drowned in the river last week. “Oh, yes; Satan's in de water too. H: ‘blecge ter go dar ter cool off.” “Si you blame everything on Satan, [il you?’ “Bless God!” was the reply “Ain't dat what he’s fer?’ — Atlant: Constitution. Conspicuous Example, “Women are belittled and made o no account in every possible way,” ex claimed the indignant head of the fam ily. “Even the geographers willfull and deliberately slight her. How man) really important towns in this countr) are named in honor of a woman?” “Well, my dear,” said her husband scratching his chin reflectively, ‘there's Janesville, you know.”’—Chicago Frib une. An Anchsr to Windward. He—Let’'s get married on Friday. She—Oh, George, Friday, you know is— He—Yes, 1 know it’s unlucky, but, then, if our marriage doesn’t turn out well we shall always have something to blame it on.—Philadelphia Record. Lift It High. “Yo' kin allus tell er polite man,” said Charcoal Eph, ruminatively, “by de‘way he lif’ his hat t' de ladies, an’ ef he lif’ it high, yo’ kin also tell dat he ain't baldheaded, Mistah Jackson.” —Baltimore¢ News. A man who dares to waste an hour of time has not learned the value of life.—Charles Darwin. Senator Elkins and the Jaekass. Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, in his young days was a railroad station agent out west, his office being a box car on a siding. He tells the story on himself that one day in checking up a car load of immigrants’ effects he could not find a bureau called for by the way bill. He was in possession, howeverfof a vigorous young jackass that was not down in the bill. So he wired to the shipping agent: “1 am short one bureau and long one jackass.” . The answer came back: “You are O. K. That bureau was a burro.” For the benefit of the eastern tenderfoot, it may be explained that the burro is a small pack animal of the jackass species. re Addison News. Dee. 30th.—Christmas is over, but queer things will happen. Last Sunday night there was a Christmas entertain- ment at Dumas, Pa., and Messrs. Bruce Nicklow and Ray Rishebarger, two of our village sports, hired a horse and sled and took their best girls to the above named place. It being late when they started, they did not arrive until after the entertainment was over. Then they turned and came back home, and being very cold, the young men hastily proceeded to put the horse in Frank Shirer’s stable. While in there, some one hit Nicklow with an ear of corn, staggering him, then struck him with a club. His partner took to his heels, and the writer does not know whether he has stopped yet. Jasper Augustine, of Uniontown, is here for a few days, on business. Walter Miller, of Hyndman, one of A. C. Hartzell’s toby rollers, has gone home to visit his parents and look after his best girl. He will return about January 2nd. Lloyd Stark, who is employed in a Uniontown restaurant, was a recent visitor at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Stark. ; Alvin McWhorters, an employe of Hartzell’s toby factory, spent Christ- mas at his home in Homestead, Pa., returning to Addison last Saturday. Mrs. A. C. Hartzell was at Homestead over Christmas, visiting her parents. She returned home last Sunday. Calvin Dean, of Somerfield, has pur- chased the Endsley stone house in that yillage and intends to apply for hotel liquor license, the coming spring. The coal boom still continues in this vicinity. Wm. Miller has sold the vein of coal that he has been working for years, receiving the sum of $14,000 for the same. He has reserved his fire- clay and intends to open it for operation. Jesse Liston has sold his coal for a royalty of 5 cents per ton. Charles Turney is opening a mine near town that will prove to be good coal. Besides, they are working several other places for new veins. Harry Spear, of Uniontown, was in Addison over Christmas, visiting his mother and other relatives. While here he was reinstated in the K. of T.. lodge. ee Liye Three from the Meyersdale Repub- lican. Among the many improvements that have recently been made at the Hotel Johnson, is a large sample room 18x36 feet—that has been fittel up. This popular hotel now has thirty-two newly furnished sleeping rooms with all the modern and necessary accommodations. Proprietor A. M. Johnson has many other improvements in contemplation. On Saturday Adam Kreitzburg gave n ten days option on his farm and coal mine, adjoining Meyersdale, to H. J. Wilmoth, the price agreed upon was $16.000. Mr. Kreitzburg has supplied our people with coal for a good many now, and his many customers will be sorry to learn of his retiring that By his frugal manner and fair treatment of his trade. friend Adam become well-to-do from this little mine, and it has been the base of his competence that he has The property iz certainly =» valuable one, for if Meyersdale con- tinues to grow it will eventually becoms« a part of the borough.
