“Mr. Berner who had declared him»
self lo be, as it w< re, a sworn enemy
to monopoly, and still had fatted to
attack the otopus, the gold trust, that
was so colossal as to silence the silver
tongue of a Carlisle and the arm of a
Cleveland, and to lay its lenticles upon
India and the United States, and ex
pressed the hope that in his futurd
speeches Mr. Berner would use his
matchless power of invective in denuns
ciation of the gold trust and in favor
of free and unlimited coinage of silver.”
Spain’s War in Cuba.
War is full of misery at best. But
the operations in Cuba, while embrac
ing the worst miseries 4 'of war, have
been destitute of its ordinary features
The fighting has been of the most des
ultory character, mainly skirmishes.
Bome of the contests have risen per.
haps to tbe dignity of battles, but after
more than three years no great battle
bus been fought. Instead of real war
we have witnessed what Senator Proc

THE
FrogreM Made So Far o« J*. Murray's
Great I tulurtakinc.
r The year 1897 was a marked year for
the groat dictionary of tbe Phil
ological society. Tbe third volume was
completed, and Queen Victoria was pleased
to sanction the dedication to her majesty
of tbe Oxford English Dictionary on tbe
sixtieth anniversary of her accession. The
formal adoption of the work by tbe great
English university was further marked by
a “dictionary dinner” in the hall of
Queen’s college, at w hich tbe vice chan
cellor of the university entertained Dr.
Murray, Mr. Bradley and others concerned
in the production of the “New English
Dictionary on Historical Principles,” now
fairly christened the Oxford English Dic
tionary.
This is the fortieth year since the Phil
ological society began Its work upon the
dictionary. It is the twentieth save one
since Dr. Murray took it in band. The
dictionary is now printed as far In the
alphabet as the groat German historical
dictionary was printed at tbe death of tbe
last tit the Grimms, and it has treated
100,000 words. A generation of workers
prepared materials. Tbe loaders of a sec
ond are growing venerable In the middle
of their work. When the literary workers
are named there are always some Ameri
cans mentioned with thanks. In the early
period G. P. Marsh and B. Grant White;
in the later the Bev. J. Pierson bad long
since sent in 86,000 quotations, Professor
Phillips of West Chester 10,000, while Fltz
•dward Hall ranks with Mr. Furnival in
tireless all round help from first to last.
The dictionary is pronounced “the
greatest effort probably which any uni
versity, it may be any printing press, has
taken In hand since the invention of print
ing, a labor beyond the scope of private
enterprise. It will not be the least of the
glories of the University of Oxford to have
completed this gigantic task.”
Volume 8 consists of words In D and
E, 720 pages in D, 488 in E. The whole
number of words in D is 19,051, against
2,684 in Johnson’s Dictionary, 10,705 in
the Century and 11,181 in the Standard.
The number of illustrative quotations is
85,446. More than 2,000,000 slips of them
had been prepared when Dr. Murray be
i gan his work. He announced in volume 1
that In tbe next three years 1,000,000 more
were furnished. The preface to volume 8
mentions many new names of readers, Al
bert Matthews of Boston heading the list
with 28,000 quotations, and Halkett Lord
of Scotch Plains, N. J., following after
with 4,000.
Some of these words In D use up heaps
of the quotations. Do, for example, is the
roost formidable word In the language, as
Dr. Murray says. The article upon it rep
resents “the distilled essence of 12,000 quo
tations.” They are classified and analyzed
and finally arranged under 134 subdivi
sions of sense, idiom and construction,
and fill 16 columns of the great pages of
the dictionary. There Is, besides, a full
discussion of the original of the verb in
the Indo-European parent speech, and a
deduction of the forms in our sister
speeches and in tbe earliest Anglo-Saxon.
—lndependent.
His Royal Driver.
A few days ago, says one of the south
German papers, a soldier was returning to
the barracks of Ludwigsburg (Wurttem
berg) from an excursion to the suburbs.
It was near the time for evening drill, and
he was in fear of being late. Suddenly a
small vehicle, driven by a man in civil
ian ’s clothes, appeared.
“May I not take the vacant scat at your
side, sir?” asked the soldier. “I am late
for drill.”
“I’ll be glad of your company,” camo
the reply.
The trooper took the seat. A few min
utes later, looking at his watch, he grew
pale.
“Pardon me,” ho went on, "but might
I ask you to drive faster? I have great
fear of my captain, who is a strict disci
plinarian. If lam a minute late, he will
put me in the guardhouse.”
“To what barracks do you belong?”
“The K barracks.”
“Yery well. We shall arrive In time. ”
The driver whipped up his team and In
a short time drew up before the gate of the
barracks.
“Thank you, sir,” said the soldier in
descending.
While the son of Mars was still bowing
his acknowledgments the officer on duty
at the armory had ordered the guard to
present arms. The driver of the vehicle
was the king of Wurttemberg.
New Title For Reed.
It not Infrequently happens that mem
bers become confused in addressing the
presiding officer of the house. In tbe heat
of debate it is sometimes “ Mr. Chairman’ 1
and sometimes “Mr. Speaker.” The vote
to go in the committee of the whole house,
the presiding officer of which is chairman,
also tends sometimes to confuse those who
participate in the proceedings. There was
a laugh on General Walker of Virginia
for a slip of this kind, although he ad
dressed Mr. Heed neither as Mr. Speaker
nor as “ Mr. Chairman. ” Tbe general is
a lawyer by profession and has been a
prominent figure in the courts of the Old
Dominion, so when be and Representative
Mlers of Indiana were having a heated ar
gument concerning their agreement on the
time for presenting a minority report on
the Tborps-Epes contested election case it
can be readily understood why the general
happened to break in on the Hoosier with
an impassioned wave of his hand toward
the speaker, following this with, “If your
honor please”—
Mr. Beed smiled. The general corrected
himself and proceeded with a statement
of his side of the case.—Washington Post.
Jerusalem's Water.
The scheme to bring pure water Into
Jerusalem has been abandoned. “As all
visitors know, ’ ’ says The J ewish Chronicle,
"the inhabitants of that city, of every
creed and nationality and particularly the
poorer residents, suffer untold hardships
In consequence of the scarcity of drinking
water. At the present time they depend
principally upon the supply collected in
elsterns from the rains which fall during
the rainy season from December to
March. Some of the water flows, in the
first place, through the streets of Jerusa
lem, before reaching the tanks, which are
above the houses. Thence it trickles down
Into underground cisterns, where it stag
nates and breeds all sorts of insects and
Impurities. And this is what the major
ity of the people have to drink 1 Even if
filtered and boiled, it would scarcely be
safe to Imbibe such stuff. And by tbe end
of June even this supply is often exhaust
ed.”
An Odd Coincidence.
The calendar for the present year exact
ly reproduces that of 1887. Each year com
menced on a Saturday, has a 28 day Feb
ruary and in both years Easter falls on
April 10.
