SUCCESS IN ORA TORY}

n. G. INGERSOLL POINTS THE WAY
TO IT IN GRAPHIC LANGUAGE.

The Young Aspirant is Advised, for One
Thing to Avoid Reference to Himself—
To Study Language and Books and to
Be a Student of Shakspeare.

To the young man who aspires to be
a leader of men, whether in political af-
fairs or otherwise, it is quite ceretain
that the art of pubic speaking is as 'use-
ful now as it ever was. Colonel Inger-
soll, as a past master of the art, was
mduced to give his ideas on the sub-
ject the other evening.

What advice would you give to a
young man who was ambitious to be-
come a! successful public speaker or
orator? he was asked.

“In the first place," said Colonel In-
gersoll, “I would advise him to have
something to say—something worth
saying—something that people would be
glad to hear. This is the important
thing. Back of the art of speaking
must be the power to think. Without
thoughts words are empty purses. ]
would advise the young man to study
his subject, to find what others had
thought, to look at it from all sides.
Then I would tell him to write out his
thoughts or to arrange them in his
‘mind, so that he would know exactly
what he was going to say. Waste no
time on the how, until you are satisfied
with the what. After you know what
you are to say, then you can think of
how it should be said. Then you can
think about tone, emphasis and gesture;
but if you really understand what you
say, emphasis, tone and gesture will
take care of themselves. The orator
should be true to his subject, should
avoid any reference to himself.

isodes by illustration, but they should
be used only for the purpose of adding
strength to ‘the argument.

“The great orator is full of variety—of
Like a juggler, he keeps the
He expresses
himself in pictures. His speech is a
panorama. By continued change he
holds the attention, The interest does
not flag. He does not allow himself to
be anticipated. He is always in ad~
vance. He does not repeat himself.
A picture is shown but once. So, an
orator should avoid the commonplace.

He shouldremember that gilded dust

great orator is honest, sincere. He does
not pretend. His brain and heart go to-
gether. Every drop of his blood is
convinced. .Nothing is forced. He
knows exactly what he wishes to do—
knows when he has finished it, ”ind

» stops. . .
“Only a great oraltor knows when and $10,000,000 at the disposal of the From-

how to close. Most speakers go on af-
ter they are through. They are sat:
isfledonly with a “lame and impotent
conclusion." Most speakers lack
variety. They travel a straight and
and dusty road. Tile,great orator is
full of episode. He convinces and
charms by indirection. He leaves the
road, visits the fields, murmurs in the
woods, listens to the murmurs of
springs, the songs of birds. He gathers
flowers, scales the crags and comes
back to the highway refreshed, invig-
orated. He does not move in a straight
line. He wanders and winds‘ like a
stream.

“Of course, no one can tell a man
what to do to become an orator. The
great orator has that wonderful thing
called presence. He has the. strange
something known as magnetism. He

. must have a. flexible, musical voice, ca-

pable of expressing the pathetic, the
humorous. the heroic. His body must
move in unison with his thought. He
must be a reasoner, a logician. He
must have a keen sense of humor—of
the laughable. He must have wit,
sharp and quick. He must have sym-
pathy. His smiles should be the
neighbors of his tears. He must have
imagination. He should give eagles to
the air, and painted moths should flut-
ter ,in the sunlight.

“There should be no introduction to
an .oration. The orator should com-
mence with his subject. There should
be no prelude, no flourish, no apology,
no explanation. He should say nothing

_' about himself. Like ,a , sculptor, he

: stands by his block of stone.‘ Every

stroke is for a purpose. As he works
-, the form begins to appear. W'hen the
. statue. is. finished, the, workman stops.
Nothing is more difficult than a perfect
close. Few poems, few pieces of
music, few novels end well. A, good
story, a great speech. a perfect poem,
should end just at the proper point. The
- bud: the blossom, the fruit. No delay.
A great speech is a crystallization in
its .logic, and cffer’vescelnce it. it?~

veiopment of the United States and
which now make our undivided pos-
session of‘ the Canal a necessity to
prOper naval connections between both
shores of the Continent in time Of
war.

Of course the treaty was a com-
promise of undoubted American rights
but it was a wise one under the cir-
cumstances; for after a war over Tex-
as the United States were in no mood
to stand up to Lord Palmerston as we
are fortunately now able to do in the
case of Lord Salisbury.

The next statesman who overmas-
tered the foreigner and who boldly and
successfully maintained American
rights was William H. Seward. Of
Seward’s personality and commanding
position the people are fully aware.
The generation which knew him first
as a; leader of the Senate and after‘
wards as Lincoln’s competitor at the
Chicago convention of 1860 are deeply
sensible of his masterly genius in the
greatest crisis of the Union. The
grasp and firmness of the man are re-
sponsible for three things that have
profoundly affected American history.
First, the sudden dispatching of the
Russian Fleet to Hampton Roads,
when it became kno‘wn in Washington
that Lord Palmerston had troops land-
ed in Canada, and that the Navy 01
England, if opportunity afforded would
be used in behalf of the Confederates.
Second, that stubborn Americanism
which triumphed over Lord Lyons in
the Trent affair, and afterwards se-
cured the settlement of the trouble-
some Alabama claims. Third, the ac.
quisition of Alaska, which was really
written off by the Emperor of Rus.

.513. as a. graceful concession to the
Monroe Doctrine, and in reciproca-
tion of Seward’s magnanimous offer
to recoup the Czar for the coal burned
by the Russian fleet in the darkest
hours of its history. Seward was
probably the greatest and most feared

 

in Europe of all our great American
Secretaries of State.

But it is the Secretaryship of Wile

liam L. Marcy in the administration of
Pierce that has most. interest at the
present time and bears more directly
than any other upon those stirring
events through which we are now pass-
ing. The rather flabby foreign policy
of Taylor and of Fillmore who preced«
ed him, greatly angered the masses
of the American people. They were
tired of a government that did police
duty for Spain in Cuba. They want-
ed to utterly reverse that policy of
l‘scat, scuttle and surrender," which
under the Ashburton arrangement, and
the whole Oregon boundary upon “19
saw part of Maine absorbed in Canada.
protection of which they had set their
hearts given away on the Northwest
in the Oregon contention, and having
valiantly contended for “Fifty, four-
forty or fight" they gave the Pierce
ticket an overwhelming majority.
Marcy who thus became Secretary of
State determined at once on driving
Spain out of Cuba. and England out of
Honduras. The circumstances of
Marcy's time were in some respects
very like the present. Then, too, the
Cubans were in arms for their liberty.
The Order of the Lone Star instituted
in 1853 to “liberate Cuba from the
despotism of Spain" was very like the
Cuban League now organized in the
United States for the same purpose-
Then, too, Spain was busy off-setting
outrages on American citizens by
Spanish claims of filibustering. It is
the question of the destruction of the
Maine to-day; it was one involving a.
vessel called the “Black Warrior"
then, that stirred the indignation of
the people. It is a striking remin-
isence that there was also a division of
opinion between the President and
Congress of that period, with the trif-
lingdlfiference that it was the, Presb-
dent who was then anxious to make
war on Spain, and it was Congress that
then declined the responsibility. Just

 

’nally there was

as in President McKinley’s case there
was also a proposal to place a sum of

ldent as a mark of confidence; and a
'resolution authorizing a levy of 50.-

to fight in Cuba. Fi-
an alignment of the
principal European powers which so
. closely duplicated that of the present
,Grand Alliance, if we may so call it,
as to be little less than wonderful how
’ almost exactly on the lines of Marcy's
' day the Cuban question comes up once
‘more in a. great international diplo-
matic problem.

There was then as now an abiding
desire to stiffen the foreign policy of
the country, and Marcy, who sent a
naturalized Frenchman as Minister to
Madrid, gave instruction to sound
Spain on the delicate subject of pur-
chasing Cuba. The Secretary of State
also took a step then far in advance of
to-day. _It was that while the United
States would do nothing to disturb the
relations of Spain with Cuba, the
United States “would at the same time
Imuch dislike to see Spain make use

of the assistance of other powers to
assert its supremacy over the island”
(See Von H'olsts’ Constitutional His-
tory, 1854-61, p. 29). He also sent to
Buchanan who was Minister to Eng-
land, a protest about sending ships of
'war to our coasts as not being re«
spectful to this republic; and instruct-
ed Soule' to make it plain to Spain,
that “while she remains in fact as well
as in name sovereign of Cuba, she
can dependupon our maintaining our
duty as a neutral power, however dif-
ficult it may be."' Marcy added that it
“was not proposed to acquire Cuba un-
less the inhabitants were very general-
6 ly disposed to concur in the transfer."

This was substantially the same po-
sition taken by 'John Quincy Adams,
by Clay, by Van Buren, Polk, Webster
and Calhoun. Marcy also rigidly in-
' sisted that no other power than Spain
-sbouid be permitted to ‘ acquire Cuba

under any pretense whatever. In 1857

the american Minister at Paris had
. informed the State Department of me
|exiszonce of a treaty between (3.9.3:

. 000 volunteers

 

 

Britain, France and Spain which guar-
anteed Cuba to Spain. Webster had
formerly declared that the United
States would never recognize any suchl
treaty, Marcy now supplemented this
decision by the clear inference or by
the positive statement that once
Spain’s sovereignity became nominal
in Cuba, or she refused to sell Cuba,
for a fair price, we were in duty bound
to wrest the island from Spain if we
possessed the power “upon the same
principle that would justify one indi-
vidual in tearing down the burning
house of his neighbor if there were no
other way of preventing the flames
from destroying his own home."

Suddenly, however, both Marcy and
the President changed their position
on the whole Cuban question. This
was on May 31, 1854. The people were
exasperated but powerless to give ef-
fect to their deep convictions. Con4
gress debated the question during the
dog days of June, and adjourned with-
out taking any definite action on the
subject. Thus Spain escaped at that
time, and the magnificent-opportunity
furnished by the Crimean war, in
which Great Britain, France and Rus-
sia were engaged in the following
year, found this country divided on
the Cuban question. The Southern
states were indisposed to exhaust those
forces in an attack on Spain which
later on they desired to marshall in the
defense of slavery. The North was al.
so equally reluctant to admit or ac.
quire territory that might easily
strengthen the slave-holding interest
in the South.

But though local Jealousles thus pre-
vented the liberation of Cuba, in 1854,
the policy of Marcy was well worthy
of a country, and it was one which Na-
poleon’s Ministers, with all their in-
grained acumen and natural sympathy
for Spain, were unable to withstand.

The sectional divisions spared Spain
a humiliation then, but made it neces-
sary for Cleveland in 1895 to re-assert
the Monroe Doctrine in the case of
England in Venezuela and in‘Nicara-
sun. A stiff policy is the cure for
Europe every time.

 

England's New Vaccine Methods.

London has just recently adopted
the calf-lymph for vaccinating pur-
poses, and has prohibited by stringent
regulations all other methods. In fact
it was at first proposed to put into op-
eration the French system whibh oom-
pels the young health doctor to take a
calf with him when vaccinating and to
transfer the vaccine direct from the
calf to the child. The new English
method provides for preserving the
vaccine in glycerine. It seems that
vaccination with calf lymph has be-
come the habitual, if not the universal,
practice in most of the Continental
towns, and in many cases vaccination
with humanised lymph is prohibited.
The evidence of bacteriologists shows
that the admixture of 50 per cent, solu-
tion of pure glycerine in sterilized wa-
ter to calf lymph can be stored for a
number of weeks and remain quite ac-
tive to vaccine. .

The new method of getting the vac-
cine lymph is described by a. London
expert, as follows: “To prepare a sur-
face for the insertion of the lymph, the
right side of the animal is thoroughly
scrubbed with soap and hot water, and
then shaved over an area extending
between the internal edges of the fore
and hind limbs and from some four
or five inches below the spinal ridge
to 'the umbilicus.. The shaved area. is
next washed with soap and hot. water,
then with a. hot solution of boracic acid
and, finally, with plain hot water. It
is afterwards dried with clean, soft
cloths.

‘fA number of,sup.erficial incisions,
eaCh about one inch long, are then
made in a direction at right angles to
the long axis of the body, and about
a couple of inches from one another.
The incisions of the several rows are
made en echelon. The lancet employ-
ed for the purpose has a. spear-headed
blade, this shape being specially rec-
ommended by M. Chambon. Over
each incision a drop of glycerlnated
lymph is allowed to fall from a glass
tube, and the drop is rubbed in with
the flat portion of the blade of the lan-
cet. The process is carried out by one
of the laboratory servants, and is a.
somewhat lengthy one.

"When the lymph has dried, the calf
is removed from the table and taken
back to its stall. .

"The vaccine material is always col-
lected on the sixth day after innocu-
lation. For this purpose the calf has
to be placed again on the table. The
lymph is drawn up into a sterilized
glass syringe and stored in tubes.”

Laughter and Insanity.

"It is a curious fact," said a physi-
cian recently, who was a specialist in
nervous diseases, “that, taken as a
general rule, all lunatics laugh about
twice as much as sane people.

“Laughter after a surgical operation
is a symptom dreaded by doctors and
nurses. .

“That queer impulse to laugh which
some people experience in the first mo-
ment of a sudden calamity is in reality
one of the sharpest warnings of insan.
ity that any one could receive.

“Some people fall into a. habit 'of
laughing at their own thought when
alone; this should be always strictly
checked, as it is an unhealthy sign,
and may lead to brain trouble later

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

The girl of the summer of ’98 to be
strictly up-to-date must have a sepa-
rate outfit for every occasion, whethel
it’s for golfing, bicycling;- boating 0‘
any of the numerous sports now in-
cluded in the athletic girl’s categurY-
Not only must. the suit be different
but all the accesories, including shoes
and hat, are made on altogether sep-
arate lines for the various occasions.

But in spite of this outlay of sport-
ing tags which constitute such a large
part of the wardrobe, it. is the dainty
gowns to be donned for the ball or
dance in the evening and which are
included in the trunks of even the
most masculine girl, that certainly get
the most attention.

These gowns are not by any means
a small item. The materials which
compose them are so gauzy and perish-
able that it takes quite a. number tc
get through a season at mountain 01
seaside. But the girl of high ambi
tions and slender purse need not trem-
ble at this prophecy, for there are
many materials which can be bought
at quite a. reasonable figure and whet
daintily made and trimmed provc
quite an excellent substitute for tht
filmy confections of chiffon and gauze

And certain it is that on no gal-men:
does the present. mode of lavish deco-
rations show to better advantage
Whether tucks, fiounces or embroider-
ies are employed, all are in good taste
and tend to make the gown more at-
t-ractive.

The skirts of these frocks are all
made dancing length. and when com-
posed of some very transparent mate-
rial have an undershirt of soft silk
Stiff linings are never employed as thc
aim of nearly all the summer gown:
and especially those intended for even‘
ing or party wear, is to have a. grace
ful, clinging effect. In many cases
fine lawn skirts in dainty shades take
the place of the silk petticoat and
prove very effective. These skirts art
always gored; when they are made
with the Spanish fiounce, the latter is
cut on the straight while the very nar-
row ruffles are on the bias.

The round waist is the style most
preferred this season for dancing
dresses, though this style is not very
becoming to a full figure. The full-
ness is all brought to the front leaving
the sides and back perfectly smooth
These corsages are in nearly all cases
made decollete while small puffs or
merely straps over the shoulders are
used in lieu of sleeves. White suede
gloves reaching nearly to the shoulder

 

are considered in best taste, although '
shades matching '

any of the dainty
the gown are allowable.

A great variety of girdles are worn
and in spite of the fact that the long
sash has been doomed it. is safe to
predict that many of these airy ac-
cesories in chiffon and net will be
worn this summer with the lovely
evening gowns. ,

A very simple gown of embroidered
chiffon has the bodice made in sur-

plice fashion, the material arranged in .
1' narrow pufi‘lngs and trimmed with
bouillonnes of white chiffon.

Plain
white chiffon is also employed to fill
in the top of the corsage. The small
puffs which constitute the sleeves have
rufiles of the material over them and
a smart bow of orange colored ribbon
is fastened at the left shoulder. The
skirt mounted on a. silk lining is fin-
ished at the bbttom with three ruffles
headed with a chiffon ruche.

Another lovely gown of rose colored
crepe de chine has the corsage made
perfectly round and slightly pouched
in front. A crushed belt of black vel-
vet girdles the waiSt and gives the fin-
ishing touch. '

A pretty model is of soft cream silk
sprigged with coral. The gOI ed skirt is
made perfectly plain and is worn over
a silk petticoat. The corsage has a
round decolletage and is trimmed on
the right side with three overlapping
revers of coral satin covered with
cream lace. A sash of black chiffon
girdles the waist and fastens at the
left side with a knot and graceful long
ends. '

Fans for the summer are medium
sized and of Spangled mousselaine de
sole in white and colors. The dainty
Empire fans are still very popular 8311
the pretty Renaissance models of
white bolting cloth .on which are
Cupids flying, with wreaths of flowers
strewn here and there are particularly
fascinating.

Fashionable Dress Goods.

Vienna. cashmere in exquisite tones
and semi-tones, as fine and soft of sur-
face as India silk, is made into ideal
gowns for demi-dress wear. Some of
the models are combined with faille or
taffeta the shade of the cashmere, oth-
ers are decorated with silk gimp, rib-
bon, milliners’ folds, ruches, or gath-
ered or pleated frills, and most of the
newest gowns of this material have
knee-deep skirt trimmings. For a. fig—
ure not too tall, a skirt of fine sheer
cashmere, accordion pleated its entire
length in black, gray, or cream white,
is a. very pretty and graceful one to
select to wear with fancy waists of ev—
ery kind and color.

 

A Good Suggestion.

The suggestion was made by a
teacher at a housekeeping class that
an old scrap or peach basket lined
with paper muslin, whose smooth fin-
ish would shed the‘dust particles eas—
ily, is of great value to the chamber-
maid as she goes through the rooms
brushing up a little here and there-In-
to such a basket the dustpan can be
frequently emptied,,and the former can
finally be carried off without losing
its contents, as often happens where a
roll of paper is need.

 

An old rusty pen left in the ink-bot-
tle will be of service in attracting the

corrcding matter from other pens in

SAS’HES NOT A POSITIVE NECESSITY

The Neck Arrangements Stamp the Cos-
tumes Quite .- Much as the Out.
(By special arrangement with the N.Y. Sun.)

The modes of making and trimming
the bodice are very nearly on the old
lines; the sleeves are simply a little
smaller, and while the skirt has ac-
quired a. reputation for shifting meth-
ods of construction, the simple gored
skirt with five or seven gores and less
fullness is still very popular.

A skirt model which is considered es-
pecially good style for thin wool ma-
terials, organdies and lawns, is cut with
either six or seven gores, yet measures
only three and a half yards at the bot-

 

 

tom. It is trimmed with two circular
flounces about eight inches wide, ar-
ranged straight across the back and
rounding up narrowly at either side of
the front to the waist, where they meet
forming a small panel below.

It is the neckgear which stamps a
costume as modish, quite as much as
the cut. Stocks with four-in-hand ties
or sailor knots made of the same ma-
terial as the waist are especially good
style, while other fashionable stocks are

 

of white pique with a colored silk four-
in-hand or narrow tie, which‘forms a.
small bow. There are black, white and
colored silk ties with knotted fringe on
the ends, and soft ties of net chiffon
and Liberty gauze will be very much

Sashes are a. very pretty addition to
the thin gowns, but they are not a pos-
itive necessity, as many of the muslin
gowns have simply a belt and bow of
ribbon at the side in front, or directlly
at the back. The chiffon sashes in

 

xgm

black, white or colored are the prettiest
of all. They are cut fully three—quar-
:ers of a yard wide and trimmed on the
ends with ruffles of the same material
)r frills of lace. Riben sashes are
made of plaid ribbons and some of the
former are crossed diagonally at inter-
vals for the entire length with ruffles
)f black lace edging four inches wide,
each one finished at the head with a
-uch.e of narrow lacg. Another dressy
sash is made of two rows of seven-inch
:ibbon joined together lengthwise with
)lack lace inserti~~n._‘ and ruffled across
he ends with lace edging. -

Silk Skirt for Dressy Wear.
Silk petticoats still hold first place

me for dressy wear is indispensable like!

avery well-dressed . woman’s wardrobe.
A lovely example is of rose pink and .5
male green striped taffeta, made quite
:ight fitting around the hips but flaring
:onsiderably at the foot. The bias
Iouncc is elaborately trimmed with.
-uchings of white lace, which is ar-
ranged to form points on the dances.

When many underskirts are worn
hey no longer all of them reach ‘to
the waist, as that would make, the
lips too large. The undermost skirt
mly reaches to the waist or better
itill, to the edge of the corset. and is
:hen covered from below the hips
iownwards with as many skirts as one
may wish, each skirt edged with a
row of lace.
