THE ORIGIN OF “FAN.**
The Richmond Time# and
the
Boston Globe have been discussing
“fan” aa applied to the baseball en
thusiast, the Globe holding to the
theory that It U an abbreviation of
“fanatic" and-the Times holding to
the idea that it applies to the bat
ter “fanning the air," a te r™ uae<1
when the batter strikes out. Dis
cussing the subject, tho Kichmond
Times says:
“Fan" as all red-blooded
American* know, Is the bit of
slang which denotes the base
ball enthusiast. The derivation
of thin word which appears
about 50,000,000 times each
year on the sporting pages <>f
American newspapers, is in
doubt. The Boston Globe has
been conducting a tort of In
vestigation cf the parentage of
the word, and a number of peo
ple have offered explanation*.
It ban been thought—and a
great many antl-baHcball folks
agree In the view—that "fan”
is an abbreviation of “fanatic"
There are many however, who
stoutly contend tho word had
another source. A Dorchester,
Massachusetts, man aays for
liiHtanco:
“To say that wo are 'fans/
because of 'fanatics* Is too
clumsy a word and annoy* us.
Look at a baseball crowd aris
ing from lethargy to excite
ment: see the nrms and forms
unfold Into bedlam, and you see
a fan of humans spreading over
the vista of the stand*. That
sight would explain the term
better.”
It haB also been suggested
that tho word comes from the
action of a batter who “fans"
tho air Instead of hitting the
ball. Tho crowd on the bleach
er* trie* to “rattle" him, con
fuse hi* mind, therefore those
who cauio him to “fan" are
called “fans." Probably there
are other theories a* to the
origin of this word; at any
rate, tho*© who have brainstorm
when a man on the home team
puts a “three-bagger" over will
ponder over this problem on
rainy day*.—Richmond Times.
hand lo the national throat-cutting,
which she has managed to keep out
of In the pa«t by keeping to herself.
It shows, too, that China Is not Ig
norant about nations on this side
of the ocean. She probably took
Mexico's measure before she allow
ed her warship to eet sail. She may
run up against the Monroe Doctrine
somewhere on the route, and then
China and her boat will have “an
other thought coming."
But a fight between China and
Mexico would be worth seeing,
naval engagement between tho two
countries might not be so much, but
if Uncle Sam or some other nation
would keep tho Mexicans from
butchering the Chinese until all of
their men could be landed, a war
might follow that would compare
favorably with the best revolutions
that have been pulled off in Nicara
gua and Venezuela. It would be
mostly noise—Boxer and Greaser
chatter—but It would be entertain
ing none the less.
China ha* demanded six million
dollars in gold for the outrage per
petrated by the massacre of so many
Chinese. Diaz Is said to have
taken all of the gold with him, it
will probably be difficult for the
Chinks to get the satisfaction which
they want. If not, they can make
faces at the greaners, treat them
with -scorn and return to the Flow
ery Kingdom. Nothing extraordinary
will probably come from the gall
ing of the Chinese warship for Mex
ican waters, but the Incident Is Im
portant a* indicating that Chinn Is
oienlng her eye* and that the day
which Napoleon dreamed of Is grad
ually coming — the day of tho
awakened China."
THIRTY YEARS AGO.
A writer iu a French woman's pa
per makes an interesting comparison
between the cost of living for fash
ionable women of today aiid thirty
years ago.
An Income of $4,000 was count
ed as wealthy thirty year* ago,"
ys the writer. “The women who
dress In the height of fashion
paid anything between $30 and $60
for a smart frock, while a hat that
cost a 9 much as $20 was looked
upon a* an unheard of extravagance.

for an evening cloak was about $60
and if a woman treated her friend*
at a confectioner’s shop she would
spend less than half a dollar on
chocolate ahd cake* for both.
“A drive In the park cost los* than
$1, and a carrlnge could be hired for
the whole day at less than $5. Any
body who hired a carriage by tho
month was thought very rich, and
those who had their own were spok
