The Inauguration of President
Roosevelt, It Is promised, will be one
of the most spectacular events of the
kind ever held in this country. The
District of Columbia has no voice In
the election of a President, but it puts
up the money for the show when he
is inaugurated. The district on this
occasion will spend $60,000 on the
pageant. With the military feature,
for which the government will pay, it
ought to be a memorable show.
Senator Platt of New York doubt
less read with interest and pleasure
on Monday morning a certain dis
patch from Topeka. Kan., -that detail
ed how Editor William Allen White
had been assailed by a woman and
flogged with a cowhide. Some time
ago Editor White wrote a magazine
article In which he paid his respects
t© Senator Platt In a manner not al
together complimentary; and now
probably Senator Platt feels that he
got "what was coming to him.”

A PREMATURE CONFERENCE.
What sort of answers will Mr. Bryan
get to the autograph letter which, it
is reported, he has sent to about
twenty prominent leaders of the Dem
ocratic party suggesting a conference
at an early day for the exchange of
views on the political situation? Will
they agree that such a conference at
this time, or at any time In the im
mediate future, would be advisable
from the standpoint of party harmony?
It looks very much as if It were Mr.
Bryan's purpose to get into a posi
tion where he would be considered the
party's leader. It may be that he will
receive favorable responses to his let
ter, but, if he does, it will be be
cause he has asked only those in dif
ferent parts of the country whom he
has reason to think are friendly to him
and his ambition.
The imprtgsion seems to be that he
has sent very few of the copies of his
letter to Southern leaders. It is a
question whether he will get a favor
able response from any Democratic
leader of the South of more than local
Influence. There are two or three
Southern states in which he still has
a good many admirers, but, even in
these, It is doubtful if there are Demo
crats of national prominence who are
willing at this time to join any move
ment that seems to have for its pur
pose the bringing of Mr. Bryan to the
front again.
There is no evidence that he would
be a strong leader in 1908. His declara
tion in favor of government ownership
of railroads isn’t popular in the South,
and it is a question whether or not it
is in any other section. It is one of
the declarations of the Populist party,
but that party didn’t poll in the recent
election as many votes as the Socialist
party. Besides, Mr. Bryan himself
isn’t as popular as he once was. He
failed to carry his own state in 1900,
and in the recent election he endeav
ored to have elected a Legislature in
his state that would send him to the
Senate, and failed.
It wouldn’t be surprising if the con
ference he has asked for wouldn’t be
as well attended as he hopes it will.
It Is said that one Democrat of na
tional prominence, who . received one
of his circular letters, takes the posi
tion that no good could result to the
party at this time by a conference
such as Mr. Bryan proposes. It is dif
ficult to see how it could. The effect
of it would toe, in all probability, to
reopen the factional war that was end
ed by the nomination of Judge Parker.
Besides, the party leaders are not
ready now to outline a policy for the
guidance of the party in the next pres
idential contest. They want to wait
and see what the developments are be
fore taking any action that would seem
to Indicate what the future course of
the party will be.
It Is stated that Mr. Brygm hasn't
extended an Invitation to Judge Par
ker to take part in the conference.
That fact alone would be productive of
discontent in the party. Judge Par
ker is the head of the party, and will
continue to be until the meeting of
the next National Convention. To ig
nore him in any conference held by
men regarding themselves as Demo
cratic leaders would certainly create 111
feeling In the party. It would amount
to a declaration that Mr. Bryan doesn’t
regard him as a representative Demo
crat, or else that he intends to try
and reorganize the party along lines in
harmony with his own ideas.
Mr. Bryan will find that he has made
a mistake In the step he has taken.
The Democratic party will not follow
him, and if he persists he will accom
plish nothing more than divide the par
ty Into two hostile oamps.
MR. WATSON'S MAGAZINE.
In his speech at Thompson the other
day Mr. Watson told his audience that
he would devote his time to uphold
ing the doctrines of the Populist par
ty, and that for that purpose he would
establish a magazine in New York.
It is to be called Waitson's Magazine.
There is no doubt Mr. Watson will
make it entertaining. He is an able
writer as well as an orator of ability.
He may find it difficult to make it a
popular publication, though about ev
ery one who holds his political views
can be depended upon to become a
subscriber to It.
If Mr. Watson follows the line of his
campaign speeches he will level his
guns at the Democratic party. He
seems to have a grievance against that
party, -particularly against some of its
leaders. It is announced that the
magazine will -be on sale within the
next ninety days, and it Is probable
that it will contain much of the sub
stance of what Mr. Watson said during
the recent campaign.
Mr. Wattersori, just before his de
parture for Europe the other day, said
Mr. Watson was a dreamer. If Mr.
Watson thinks hp can make Populism
take on a large scale he is dreaming.
It has been many years since the peo
ple first had a chance to express their
opinion of Populistic doctrines, and
the converts to them do not seem to
be increasing.
When an example in municipal cor
ruption is wanted, preachers and lay
men Invariably turn to the city of Phil
adelphia to furnish it. It seems to be
conceded and accepted on all sides that
Philadelphia Is the most corrupt mu
nicipality in the country, if not in the
world. And yet the Rev. Kerr B. Tup
per of that city, In a sermon a day
or two ago, asserted that Philadelphia
leads all other American cities in
churches and church attendance. Phil
adelphia, he said, has taken from
Brooklyn the sobriquet of the “City
of Churches,” having twice as many
places of worship and a very much
larger church attendance than Brook
lyn. “Our city," he said, ’’ta the best
morally to be so corrupt politically of
all the cities of the United States. We
may well blush at Its municipal cor
ruption, yet we muet acknowledge that
In the matter of homoe, American
ideals and church activity It stands
the first of all Ainerioaji etttea.” There
is an apparent paradox here. If Phil
adelphia leads in church alteudari ■
and places of worship, why is 11 so
miserably cun up! politically ?
SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY.NOVEMBER 23. 1904.
SHORT-SIGHTED POLICY.
If It be a fact that, in the cities of
Cuba, the sanitary regulations that
were established during American oc
cupation of the island for the purpose
of ridding it of yellow fever are be
ing abandoned the Cubans are pursu
ing a short-sighted policy. It is an
nounced that there have been four
tfases of yellow fever in the island
recently, two of them being in Havana,
and the opinion is expressed that Hav
ana is paving the way for an epidemic
of that. disease. It is stated that the
city is no longer kept clean, land that,
owing to petty politics, the sanitary
regulations that were put in force by
the Americans are receiving but slight
attention.
We do not undertake to say of course
that the freedom of the island from
yellow fever since 1900 is due to the
sanitary measures that were put In
force by the Americans, while they
were In control of the Island, but It
is a fact that something has kept down
the fever, and it seems but reasonable
to assume it was the system of clean
liness adopted and enforced by them.
Of course, it is in the power of
the Cubans to do as they please about
this matter, but if they persist in
inviting the fever to make its home
in their cities they will find their com
mercial intercourse with this country
greatly hampered. Under the Platt
amendment steps will be taken for the
protection of our Southern coast. No
consideration will be shown Cuba in
the enforcement of measures to keep
the fever from getting a foothold in
our cities. The Cubans can keep their
cities clean If they want to, and pres
sure ought to be brought to bear upon
them to induce them to do so. It Is
claimed that the cases which have ap
peared In Cuba were brought there
from Mexico. That may be true,
but if they were the Cubans should
see to it that their cities are kept so
clean that cases imported do not open
the door to an epidemic.
THE BARS UP AGAINST DIVORCE.
The churches, the Episcopal Church
especially, are making a brave fight
against the divorce evil. How great
that evil Is, is apparent only to those
who study the records'of the courts or
follow the printed figures showing the
number of divorces.
It is said that in a period in which
there were only 69 divorces granted in
Canada over 700,000 were granted in
this country. Of course the number of
inhabitants of this country is very
much greater than that of Canada, but
even so, there seems to be a hundred
times more divorces in this country
than In Canada in proportion to the in
habitants.
It is stated that there are more di
vorces granted in this country than in
the whole of Europe, Australia and the
British dominions. The evil is so great
that it ought to arrest the attention, of
Congress and bring about a uniform
divorce law. Just how the country
would regard congressional action It Is
Impossible to say, but It Is certain that
■the evil will not be greatly checked un
til there ds such a law, and the number
of causes for which a divorce can he
had is very much less than it la at
present in some of the states.
A statement was published in the
New York World of Sunday that no di
vorced person can be married in any
one of the nine churches of Trinity
parish of that city. The rector of Trin
ity, 'the Rev. Dr. Dix, is quoted as say
ing that the divorce evil is breaking up
the homes of the country ait a fearful
rate. He expressed the opinion that 90
per cent, of those who apply for
a divorce have already picked out the
persons to whom they expect to be
married In the event their applications
are successful. And it seems that the
evil is growing greater all the time.
There is one remedy that ought to be
tried, and that Is for society to refuse
to accord recognition to divorced per
sons. If that were done the number of
divorces would decrease at once, but
society seems to have too many di
vorces of its own to take such a rad
ical step. Whatever is done to eradi
cate the evil must be done by the
churches and the lawmaking power.
The Tweraty-flrst congressional district
in Illinois is a bit puzzled to know who
will represent it in the next House at
Washington. The Constitution of the
United States provides that no man Is
eligible to membership in the House
of Representatives until he has reach
ed the age of 25 years; nevertheless
the Twenty-first Illinois district has
elected to Congress Zenos J. Rives,
aged 23. It appears that the Republi
cans had no idea of carrying tho dis
trict, and merely nominated young
Rives as a matter of convenience to
fill out the ticket. The youth never
once Imagined that he could possibly
be elected, and neglected even to make
a solitary stump speech. But when
the votes were counted it was discov
ered that Rives had 500 majority of
the votes. Hs had gone 111 on the
tidal wave of Republican success. The
case will come before the Elections
Committee of the House. If the ma
jority of the committee were Demo
cratic it is pretty certain that the con
stitutional limitation would be adhered
to, but as the committee will be Re
publican It is probable that some way
will ba found to set the constitution
aside and scat the boy member from
the Twenty-first Illinois.
The indications all are to the effect
that the current winter will be one
of the best game seasons for many
years in this part of tha country. From
Canada, Maine, Massachusetts and
other Northern points come reports to
the effect thut ducks and geese have
already started Bnuth In large quanti
ties, and gunners about Savannah say
that the gume birds are showing up in
exceptionally large numbers. The
weather prophets ssy the early move
ment of the ducks and geese means a
bird winter, Houthern sportsmen think
it means good hunting for thras
months or more.
Commissioner Ware says two years

Another Pittsburg heiress is alleged
to have bought a count at a high fig
ure. The heiress, aged about 40, is
said to have paid a lump sum of $70,-
000 and guaranteed an annuity of $15,-
000 a year for the glorious privilege of
becoming the wife of the count, who
is some ten years younger. The
count holds his title from Italy, and
is said to have held out as long as he
could do so for a cash bonus of SIOO,-
000 and an annuity of $25,000. The
woman, long used to bargain counters,
finally succeeded in beating down the
price to a figure that she thought rea
sonable. A year or two hence, in all
probability, there will be furnished to
the newspapers a lively scandal in
connection with this commercial mar
riage. The time may yet come when
the United States government will
have to create titles of nobility, to
satisfy its fool women of wealth.
The report of the Harvard athletic
association shows that during the past
yeair the receipts from athletic games
amounted to $112,262. The football
games netted more than $72,000. These
figures are worthy of note and study.
They show that the receipts
from the athletic sports of one
of the important Northern col
leges amount to more than the total
income of some of the Southern col
leges of Importance. Another point Is
this, that while the newspapers de
vote columns and columns of space
to the college football games, they pay
relatively little attention to the in
tellectual side of college life. Why is
this? Is It because the people are
not Interested in the mental develop
ment of the young men in college, but
delight to be Informed with respect to
their physical prowess?
It appears that there is no truth In
the report that a son of Booker T.
Washington Is applying for appoint
ment as paymaster in the army; nor
does he want any place in the govern
ment service; nor has Prof. Wash
ington indorsed any person for ap
pointment as a paymaster in the army.
How the story of young Washington's
application got out does not appear;
yet it was printed in some of the
Washington papers and obtained wide
currency. Inasmuch as the Morning
News commented on the original story,
it feels it is due to Prof. Washington to
make this statement. The Washington
Post, J t seems, was misled, and Its
misinformation found its way into a
number of other paper’s.
The belief obtains in Washington
that, following the inauguration of
President Roosevelt next March, there
will come a pretty considerable sttr
up and house-cleaning. Heretofore
President Roosevelt has carried along
a large number of McKinley ap
pointees. Now, It is said, he feels that
he is at liberty to fill the offices with
Roosevelt men, and 'that at home and
abroad he will make many changes.
Asa consequence many of the hold
overs are on the anxious bench and
numbers of the "original” Roosevelt
men” ore getting their applications and
references In Shape.
The Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.)
says: "The South yearns for the elimi
nation of the negro question from its
politics, and the North has not the
slightest objection to letting it go
ahead and eliminate.” And yet, when
the South takes the ballot away from
the negro who cannot read or write,
and who is willing to sell his vote for
$2 or the highest price he can get, the
Republican party of the North, one of
whose spokesmen the Inquirer Is, lit
erally froths at tho mouth over the
"wrongs of the colored brothers.”

CURBENT COMMENT.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says; “Of the freedom from the ran
cor of sectionalism of which the Press
boasted with so much unction the oth
er day it gives fresh evidence in
charging the South with "the sweep
ing and systematic suppression of the
suffrage by which a Whole race is dis
franchised in eleven states.” The
truth is that in these states a whole
race is not systematically disfran
chised. On the contrary, every negro
In the South who can read his ballot
and pay the poll tax Imposed upon
white voters is entitled to the suf
frage. Moreover, the white people of
the South are undergoing very consid
erable burdens of taxation in order to
educate the negroes and thus qualify
them for the political duties of citi
zens.
“What grieves the Republican poli
ticians and their organs is the utter
failure to control and govern the
South by hurling its mass of ignor
ant negroes upon the ballot-box under
the guidance of unscrupulous leaders
maintained by official patronage.
What they could not thus accomplish
by setting up the blacks as a political
element against the while people of
the South they sock to attain by the
arts of cajolery. They are very much
distressed by what the Press calls
the 'isolation* of the Bouth and Ite
want of response to ’a great national
uprising under a national impulse.’ To
translate this cant into the plain
vernacular, the people of the Mouth
are told that it would be greatly to
their material advantage If they would
give up their opposition and submit
themselves to tha generous guidance
and control of ike Republican party.
Happily for tha best Interests of the
country, tha Mouth la as likely to lie
seduced by cajolery and cant ashy

Shrewd Mr. Binkley.
When Binkley's friends saw a copy
of the telegram that Binkley had sent
to “Hon. Theodore Roosevelt” con
gratulating him upon the election, they
heaped ridicule upon him, says the
New York Post.
“What on arth are you sending a tel
egram to the President for?” they ask
ed. “You don’t suppose he’ll care to
hear from a nobody like you, do
you?”
"Yes, sir, I do suppose he’ll care to
hear,” retorted Binkley, defiantly, "and
anyway, whether he wants the mes
sage or not it will be put on file In
the White House archives, and In years
to come when tourists peep into the
President’s collection of letters and
telegrams they will see the name of
J. M. Binkley set down with the big
gest names In the land. How will they
know then that I am a nobody? And
even if they do know it I’ll be on
record as a public spirited citizen. And
the White House is not the only place
lam on record. Sending telegrams of
congratulation and condolence on fe
licitous and mournful occasions has
been a hobby of mine for years. Elec
tions, marriages, deaths and sudden
calamities have called them forth. If
there is one telegram signed ‘J. M.
Binkley’ among the personal corre
spondence of the great, there are 500
of them.
“Every man of prominence in the
country, from President to the winning
jockey of a horse race, has heard from
me. What if they don’t know me?
Maybe they will some day. They won’t
throw my telegram away, and some
day, maybe, when looking over their
scrap books, they may come across
my name and say, ‘Ah, yes, there’s
Binkley. Let me see, who is Binkley?
I forget about him. I must look him
up.’ Of course, I don’t say that they
will look me up, but they may, and
even if they don’t I’ve got my name
enrolled with the names of lots of
other famous men. and if that isn’t
worth the cost of 500 telegrams, I’d
like to know what is."
An Old Story Retold.
Former Senator "Billy” Mason tells
of an amusing incident at the St. Louis
Fair, says the New York Globe. A
young woman from California, in com
pany with some Chicago friends, was
entering one of the pavilions when she
suddenly exclaimed: "Why, if there
isn't a real Chinee!” And she directed
her companions’ attention to an Ori
ental lady in native dress sitting quiet
ly by herself.
“Well, girls,” continued the dashing
Californian, "I’ll bet anything the poor
thing is frightened to death here all
alone. I’ll go over and speak a bit of
pigeon English to her.”
And the girl from the slope walked
over to the small, dainty figure in the
odd dress and seated herself beside
her. She smiled and nodded. The
Chinese lady smiled and nodded, too.
Then the Californian remarked: fi
"You comee allee way flom China?
How you likee Melican klountly?”
The bright eyes of the Oriental twink
led.
"Oh,” replied she, with the purest of
English accent, “I like it very well, in
deed. You see, I was graduated in
medicine in America some ye’ars ago.”
Then the little lady, with a polite
bow, arose to meet her friends whom
she had been awaiting.
The Californian subsequently learn
ed that she had been speaking her
pigeon English to the distinguished Dr
Yamee Kin.
Practiced Under Difficulties,
“Don't try to make musicians out
of all children indiscriminately and thus
you will avoid such household conver
sations as one I overheard the other
day,” said Baron Kaneko of Japan,
who has beeln spending the summer
in the Maine woods, according to the
Buffalo Enquirer.
“I was on a train and a father and
his young son sat near me. The father
said:
" ‘John, do you practice regularly
on the piano while I am away at busi
ness?'
" ’Yes, father,’ replied the boy.
" ‘Every day?’
"’Yes, sir.’
“ ‘How long did you practice to-day’”
‘Three hours.*
“ 'And how long yesterday?’
“ ‘Two hours and a half.’
“ ‘Well, I’m glad to hear that you are
so regular.’
“ ‘Yes, father.’
“ 'And the next time you practice be
sure to unlock the piano. Here Is the
key. I locked the instrument last week
and I have been carrying the boy in
my pocket ever since.’ ”
One On An Actor.
Will T. Hodge, the actor, tells a story
which is much like a joke on himself,
says an exchange.
He was in Chicago some two years
ago studying for a forthcoming produc
tion. Along toward the early hours of
the morning he called a boy and or
dered a "bottle of milk,” according to
his own assertion.
When the boy returned he bore 'the
bottle in his hand, and turning to the
actor said: "You must excuse me for
not bringing this on a tray; but all
our trays are in use to-night.”
“Is that so?” replied Hodge. “And
how does that happen?”
“Well," said the boy, “Mrs. Pat
Campbell is giving a dinner down
stairs, and they have all the trays
down there.”
"So Mrs. Pat Campbell Is giving a
dinner?” mused Hodge.
"Yes," said the boy, “and all the
actors In town are down there.”
“All?” said Hodge.
"Oh, yes,” answered the boy, "all but
the cheap skates."
I<’ AU In the Point of View.
“Most men,” said the man of expe
rience, according to an exchange,
“think it must be awfully nice to havo
a wife who takes things as coolly as
Dave Potter’s wife takes them, but
others, more discriminating, would
prefer a good, honest row to her quiet
cynicism. The way she behaved the
other day when she found a letter in
Dave’s pocket from some girl over In
Brooklyn Is an example of her quiet
manners.
” ‘I don’t see.’ wrote the Tragic Muse
from Long Island, ’how on earth I can
ever live without you.’ /
"Dave’s wife read that gush and a
lot more Just like it without ever turn
ing a hair.
“ ‘Well,’ she said, coolly, ‘that girl is
fool. If she knew you as well as I
do she would be wondering how on
earth she could ever live with you.’

PIN PRICK CAUSED TWO DEATHS.
From the New York Press.
Philadelphia, Nov. 19.—That the
prick of a hatpin on the knee of a
man caused the death from remorse of
the woman who wielded it, and eight
years of heartrending suffering, three
amputations and the final death of the
man who suffered the injury, is re
revealed by the death of Jacob I. De
wolf of this city.
It was a playful thrust the girl gave
to him to relieve herself of his merci
less teasing. She loved him, and he
loved her, and when the point of the
pin entered his knee and scraped the
bone at the joint neither though much
about it. It was In the summer of 1896,
and they were attending a picnic near
Chamounix given by Mohawk Tribe
of Redmen. Dewolf, 27 years old, who
lived with his mother In No. 2008
North Eleventh street, finished out the
day pleasantly, but shortly after he
reached home his knee began to swell.
Next day a physician was called in,
and finally Dewolf was sent to the
Jewish Hospital. Six weeks afterward
his leg was amputated above the
knee. The surgeons had out too low,
and a second operation was necessary.
Afterward tlje sufferer went to the
Union Mission Hospital. There the
leg was taken off at the hip joint.
After that Dewolf recovered, seem
ingly, and engaged in business. A
few weeks ago he began to fail, and
blood poisoning developed. It spread
rapidly through his system, and for
several days before he died his
screams could be heard in the street.
To the last he refused to divulge the
name of the girl who t had stuck the
hatpin in his knee and caused all his
suffering. All he would say was that
she had died from grief.
A CHARGE AT NANSHAN.
By a Japanese Officer, in Leslie’s Mag
azine.
Suddenly we saw, from where we
were, on a curve of the Nanshan crest,
facing the Klnchau bay, a sight which
made our blood bound In our veins—lt
was the battleflag of Nippon flapping
away over where the Russian trenches
were. That was the signal for a gen
eral rush forward to storm the hights.
There were only a few of us in our
company who could answer the general
order to rush forward —and every one
of us was wounded somewhere. A
minute ago, all about us were sup
pressed groans of men who were des
perately wounded. These seemed to
come from beneath the heaps of the
dead bodies of our comrades. Instant
ly, as we saw our flag planted on the
crest of Nanshan, the shmout of the
“Banzai” rolled over the field, coming
from the throats and the livid lips that
would be still and voiceless within a
few moments. As I reached the crest
of the hill I came upon a fellow wav
ing a flag which was about two feet
square. It was all bloody. He was
standing over the prostrate body of
a Russian who was not yet dead. “This
flag, sir,” he explained humbly to me,
“was given me by villagers of mine. I
promised them I would plant it in the
enemy's„trenches some time. You see,
sir, it is bloody. This Russian,” point
ing to the stalwart fellow at his feet,
“was the last fellow who resisted me.
I killed him with my sword, or, at
least, I have pretty nearly finished him.
I have wiped my sword on this flag.
I am going to take this flag back, if
I am allowed, to the men of my vil
lage, as a memento of the first fight I
have been in.”
THE ZONE TIME SYSTEM, a
From the London Telegraph.
During the last, twenty years a
movement has been in progress hav
ing for its end a uniform system of
timekeeping all over the world, called
the universal or zone time system. The
principle was expounded by the As
tronomer Royal, Mr. Christie, in a lec
ture at the Royal Institution in 1886.
The plant is familiar to any conti
nental traveler. When in Belgium
or Spain the railway clocks agree with
his watch If this has been set to
Grenewleh time; in Germany, Italy,
or Switzerland the clocks are exactly
one hour fast of this, and so on. Not
only In Europe but now in every part
of the globe the system is in vogue,
and it is announced in the Observa
tory Magazine for the current month
that even such a conservative country
as China has adopted it. Along the
east coast, from Niu-Chwang to Swa
tow, and up the Yang-tse-klang they
are keeping the time of the meridian
exactly eight hours east of Greenwich,
and the Colonial Office has lately giv
en sanction of this being the legal
time of Hongkong and the other Brit
ish colonies within the zone. Western
China is likely soon to adopt the time
seven hours fast on Greenwich, and
India and Farther India are about
to fall in with the scheme, so that the
universal time system now goes round
the world, and all the principal na
tionalities, except France and Ireland,
have adopted Greenwich as their
prime meridian.
THE IGOROTS.
From the Commoner.
The origin of the word is very inter
esting, Dr. Albert Ernest Jenks, one
of the committee, and chief of the
ethnological department of the Filipino
exhibit at St. Louis, in his report just
published gives a history of it. He
says that Morga in 1609 used the word
• Iglot.” Early Spaniards also used
the word frequently as "Ygolotes,” and
to-day some groups of the Igorot, as
the Bontoc group, do not pronounce the
“r” sound, which common usage now
puts to the word. “The word ‘lgrorot’
is now adopted tentatively as the name
of the extensive Malayan people of
Northern Luzon,” he adds, “because It
is applied to a very large number of
mountain people by themselves, and al
so has a recognized usage in ethnologi
cal and other writings. Its form ‘lgo
rot’ Is adapted for both singular and
plural, because It is both natural and
phonetic, and because It Is thought
wise to retain the simple, native forms
of surh words, as it seems necessary
or best to Incorporate In our lan
guage especially in scientific lan
guage."
EARL GOT 50,000 TIS SAID.
From the Baltimore Bun.
Pittsburg, Nov. 20.—That Alice Thaw,
out of her private fortune, paid the
money demanded of her people by the
Earl of Yarmouth before her wedding
a little over 'a year ago is believed by
all friends of the Thaw family who
have kept close tab on the great estate
left by the elder Thaw.
The filing of the statement by the
Fidelity Title and Trust Company yes
terday, giving to the Countess of Yar
mouth something over SBOO,OOO, was
something of (a disappointment to the
moneyed ones, notwithstanding the
knowledge that Alice Thaw had drawn
$200,000 from the family honk when
she attained her majority. This would
make her portion $1,000,000 without her
portion of tho “coke trust,”
Close figuring by somd who know
bring the answer that Alio* Thaw gave
to ton GMrl about $250,000 before the
wedding, and this was charged up
against her by her trustees,
