' lature In Session.
.n
ALRANY, Jan. 3.—The session of 1895
opened today with the usual bustle and ex-
citement. There was a good deal of hand-
shaking and friendly greeting among old
' members. New members busied them~
selves in selecting advantageous seats,
forgetting or not knowing that in the
usual drawing for seats their'choice might
go to some one‘elsc. Handsome baskets
of flowers adorned the desks of Mr. Hus-
ted of Westchester and Mr. Abel of Kings.
Mr. Helpin of New York gazed proudly
across the chamber through the opening
in a. floral horseshoe which graced his desk.
Every foot of space behind the rail was cc-
cupicd by visitors. many of whom were
ladies. Every sent in the ladies’ gallery
. was filled. The clerical force of the last
session were in their seats behind the desk.
Promptly at 11 o’clock the house was
called to order by the assistant clerk of
the last house, Cunningham. The Right
Rev. William Crosswell Doane, Episcopal
'bishop of Albany, delivered the opening in-
vocation. Secretary of State Palmer ad-
ministered the oath of office to about a
dozen members, after which the roll was
called. There were few absentees. On
motion of Mr. Ainsworth the house pro-
ceeded to the election of speaker. The roll
was called, and each member arose in his
place and announced his choice. Hamil-
ton Fish received 100 votes and Samuel J.
Foley 19. Messrs. Malby and Foley were
appointed a committee to escort Speaker
Fish to the chair. >
On assuming the chair Mr. Fish ad-
dressed the house appropriately.
Other Officers Elected.
The house then proceeded to the election
of clerk. ‘Archie E. Baxter received 102
votes and Charles Marshall 20.
The following additional officers'were
elected: Garrett J. Benson, sergeant-at-
arms; Joseph Bauer, principal doorkeep-
er; Joesph E. West, first assistant door-
keeper; John J. Mahony, second assistant
doorkeeper; Robert C. Chapin, stenog-
rapher.
On motion of Mr. Nixon a. committee of
two was appointed to wait upon the gov-
ernor to inform him that the house had
organized and was ready for business.
On motion of Mr. Malbya committee of
two was appointed to inform the senate.
A committee from the senate announced
the election of Senator O’Connor as presi-
dent pro tem. of the senate.
The governor’s secretary, with a message
from the governor, was announced, and
the message was read by the clerk.
In the Senate.
The senate convened at 11 :45 a. m., Lieu-
tenant Governor Saxton in the chair.
The chamber contained a lar o: audi-
ence. Upon calling the body to or er Lieu-
tenant Governor Saxton said:
“The people have honored me by elect-
ing me to an office which imposes among
other duties that of presiding over the sen-
ate. I am here to carry out your will, not
mine. My experience on the floor of this
chamber gives me the assurance that I will
be treated with the utmost kindness. It
will be my aim to preside with absolute
firmness and impartiality.” .
He then reviewed the history of legisla-
tion which will come up for consideration
and determination. laying special stress
on the importame of the greater New
ork measure. He ended thus: “I have
no doubt that the legislature of 1895 will
be fully equal to the task before it and
will so act as to gain the gratitude of the
good people of this commonwealth. ”
By resolution Senator O’Connor was
elected president pro tempore and leader
of the majority.
Senator O'Connor-'5 Address.
Senator Cantor was nominated by the
Democrats. Senator O’Connor delivered a
speech of acceptance, in which be thanked
the members of his party on the floor for
the honor they had conferred upon him.
He spoke of the legislation before them
and assured the minority that they would
be treated with justice. In relation to the
press he said: “We will receive much so-
"ill be oftentimes very severe and prob-
ably desorved. At other times it will be
unmerited and unjust. With some news-
papers it will degenerate to vulgar and
malicious personal abuse. We should not
fear honest criticism nor be terrorized by
vulgar abuse.”
The usual ccmmitteeswere appointed to
the senate was ready for work.
The governor’s message was then read

Dr. Alvah L. Doty of New York for health

AUTHOR OF B-EN BOLT.
\Dr. Thomas Dunn Englisl’s Unfortunate
, Early Indlscrotion. ‘ '
Dr. Thomas Dunn English 'is a Con-
grebsinan from New Jersey. He is also a
poet, novelist, dramatist, physician, law.
figure,'merely to look at, as he stood
talking to his younger fellow craftsmen
in the New York Cloister Club recently
and told the story of Ben Bolt.
Dr. English modestly confesses to 75
years, but his friend. Poet Bunuer, claims
five more for him, in spite of the records
of the University of Pennsylvania, which
put him in the class of ’39. '
The American Cyclopedia twenty years
ago said: “He is the author of more than
tWenty sucCessful dramas”; “he‘ is the
author of several novels”; “he is'the au~
thor of the ‘Gallows- Goers,’ a rough but-
vigorous poem of which hundreds of
thousands of copies were circulated.”
It was the most delightful period in the
dinner hour when the dinner is being
enjoyed-having been eateuLand" the
table bears only ash trays and coffee,
when a. comfortable, inviting silence in-
spires to monologue after the rattle of
general talk, that Dr. English rose to
talk to the “youngsters,” as he called
them, of the Cloister. ' ‘ ‘
, “Au indiscretion committed more than
fifty years ago should not. be brought up
against a. man at such an hour as this,”
said the Doctor. “Let my tell about—-
well, say, about the popguu tariff bills,
for you know I have a short session to
serve yet in Congress.” '
The Friars laughed him down and
called for “Ben Bolt.” '
“Well,” said the Doctor, “I thought
when I wrote ’
“And sweet Alice lies under the stone,
I had done with her and her possible
sweetheart ‘Ben Boh,’ but it appears not.
I wrote those verses in 1848 at the request
of N. ,P. Willis, who, with George, P.
Morris, had revived the New York Mirror
as the New Mirror. Willis asked me for
a sea. song, and 'I started one. But I
stuck. Possibly some of you younsters
may have had that same experience when
. you have set out to write something to
order.”
THOMAS DUNN ENGLISH.
The particular “youngster” the speaker
happened to be looking at as he said this
was \Villiam Dean Howells, and the nov-
elist laughed and nodded; as if in assur-
once that even 'a traveller from Altruria
was sometimes stuck when so unaltruis—
tic as to write anything to order.”
“Then,” the Doctor continued, “I began '
on something else, nearly finished it,
patched on a. piece of the unfinished sea
song, and sent the thing to Willis, telling
him if it did not suit not to return it, but
burn it.
“Well, the lines became popular. It
was copied, without credit, in the Eng-
lish papers, where it was assumed to be
of British birth. After I saw it in print
it seemed to me that the songwould go
‘ well to music, and I spoke to several com-
posers about it, but they all answered,
‘It won’t sing.’ I thought it would and
took the matter into my own hands by
writing some music for the words my‘
self. .-
“But my music did not become so
popular as that adapted from a. German
Song by a young singer and actor named
Wilsori Kneass, a son of a. celebrated
actress of that time. . He had an oppor-
tunity to appear in a stage production if
he could furnish a new and popular song.
A'fellow player named Hunt, an English-
man, recited ‘Ben Bo‘lt’ to Kneass, and
suggested it as a song. He had seen the
words in an English paper and remem~
bered them. Kneass adapted the music,
as I have said, and the song made an im-
mense hit. not only in this country, but
in England, where it was sung, parodie
‘answered’ and illustrated. It created _
furore in London, and was,'of cours‘e','still
supposed to be strictly British. After
several revivals, I supposed until recently
that I had heard the last of it, but now
a. gentleman named Du Maurier, whom I
never harmed in my life, revives it. in
‘Trilby.’
“When I first went to Congress, four
years ago, I was duly reported in the
papers as the author of the song, and it
brought me mahy curious interviews.
One member introduced me to his wife
whose three Christian names were ‘Alice
Ben Bolt,’ another assured me he had
been lulled to sleep in his cradle by his
mother singing ‘Ben Bolt,’ and a. third
informed me when he introduced megto
his wife that it was her singing of ‘Ben
Bolt,’ that won his proposal of marriage.
‘I am sorry for it,’ ” I answered.
