The Rage for New Words.

A few months ago, somebody in En-
gland hit upon the word cLoture as the
French expression for the contemplated
parliamentary measure of shutting off
debate at certain stage. This word
was caught up-like an inspiration, and
the change rung on it. 1t was fitted
into all possible phrases and sentences,
and set out in all possible ways, since
the appearance of any leading word, in
public discussion, that has not previ-
ously been familiar, produces a sort of
mania in English journalism, whole ar
ticles being written for the purpose of
introducing it, and of showing respect
for it or acquaintance with it. The swim
ming of a new planet into an astrono-
mer's ken is the thing most comparable
to the injection of wore like clOtttre
into British politics. Rut still more re
Gently some other bright person discov-
cred that the word closure was a good
substitute for cLoture, and so used it.
The effect was again extraordinary.
All the British leader writers rushed
madly to be the first in talking of the
closure instead of their previous
cloture. Their articles were no longer
speckled with this key.word in all the
glory of italics and circumflex accent;
and now it is instructive to see how
the later equivalent has almost every
where dethro1ed the earlier British
journalism. Such are the fortunes of
words in our days of repetitions and
hasty limitations.

Election. He found it difficult to realize
that he was rejected; yet Beauclere had
told him distinctly that he had propos-
ed to Miss Armstrong that afternoon,
and had been accepted. There was no
further reason of his staying at West
water; and he was going to ask his
uncle, of the firm of Leslie and Long
hampton, to send him on a confidential
mission to the extreme end of the earth,
where they were supposed to do bust
ness. George could not be philosophi-
cal enough to look at happiness
Through another mans eye," so he de-
termined to get completely out of the
way of Mark Beauclere; and he could
not even summon up courage to con-
graduate Lucy. or say good-by; but he
wrote her nice little letter, in which a
good deal of real feeling was hidden
under some stiff formal phrases, and
through it all peeped a very sore,
bruised, afronted. but still faithful love.
Lucy laughed at it first, and then
cried over it, then wiped her eyes, and
wrote an explanatory and affectionate
reply; but, alas George was gone on
the confidential mission. His letter
said that he was on the eve of starting
for China, and bore the Southampton
post-mark. He said he might be absent
for years, or for ever. To poor Lucy,
in the first dismay other discovery that
George was really gone, it seemed the
same thing.

The Grave Of Mrs. Surratt

The following relative to Mrs. Sur
raft. who was hung in 1865 with the
Lincoln conspirators, appears in the
Washington Star. In Mount Olivet
Cemetery, on the Blandensburg road.
repose the remains of Mrs. Mary Sur
raft, who, it will be remembered, was
hung on the 2lst day of July, 1865, as
one of the conspirators implicated in
the assassination of President Lincoln.
Her body was buried in the arsenal
grounds near the scaffold, with those of
Payne, Harold and Atzerodt; and sub
sequently Wirz, of Andersonville no
toriety, was buried near them. While
the bodies were lying there plain head
boards were placed over their graves.
When The old penitentiary building
was torn down the remains of John
Wilkes Booth, buried in the end of the
building, and the bodies above named
were all moved into one of the large
store houses Of the arsenal and placed
under the tagging. About the close of
President Johnson's administration the
bodies were surrendered TO the friends
or relatives of the de eased persons,
and were removed elsewhere-those of
Wirz and Mrs. Surratt were taken to
to Mount Olvet When the body of
the latter was exhumed black ribbon
tied in bow knot was removed from her
dress as memento. A number of her
former friends were present when the
reinterment Was made, in a lot at the
extreme northwest corner of the Gene
terry. Stones marked with the letter
''S'' were set at the corners of the lot.
With no other mark the spot was diff
cult to find without guidance, and Mr..
Duffy, the sexton at the time, and for
several years afterward, was frequently
called upon to point out the spot where
Mrs. Surratt was buried. About 1879,
Mr.. Gustavus Craney, stone-cutter re-
siding in this city, was engaged in put
ting up some head-stones in the ground
and Mr.. Duffy called his attention to
the want Of stone TO mark Mrs. Sur
rats grave. Mr.. Craney agreed to cut
the letters on stonei if Mr.. Duffy pro-
cured one. Mr.. Duffy having procured
a stone, it was chiseled by Mr.. Craney,
who cut the name "Mrs. Surratt, upon
it and set il at the head of the grave.

Sucked into the DEPTHS.

A Scandinavian immigrant gives the
following account of tragedy in the
famous Lofoden malestrom.
A few years ago, on delightful
July evening, saw a body of Goldfish
rise by the edge Of the whirlpooPs outer
circles, and Immediately after the cod
had risen a whale arose in them and
spouted. The column of spray, blown
up like a geyser. attracted the attention
of small fishing boat, less than half
mile distant, and knowing that where
the whale blew there was a cod, they
pulled toward the spot.
In the boat was pretty old man
and his son, a lad of about Is. They
had Just come for the first time oat of
Lofodens, and now pulled carelessly in
side the circle. Their boat began to
move slowly round, but they went on
fishing, unmindful of the motion. But
the movement increased, as every
swirl grew faster.
At length the truth dawned upon
the luckleSs old man and the boy. A
faint scream Of terror from the lad came
over the water; they grasped their oars
and pulled with desperation. BIT they
were in the meshes. 1t seemed as if
some fiend were dragging them to the
devouring vortex. For time they held
their own against the centerward force,
but only for while The old mans
stroke became less steady, and so did
the lads. The latter again rallied, and
was pulling with the desperation of de-
spair when his oar unshipped and fell
over. In moment it was carried away.
Then the two set up a wild, piercing
cry. put their hands up, praying to God
for mercy-they could not expect de
liyerance.
In n minute or two it was all over.
The boat was whirled round and round,
then the stern WAS seen to rise in the
air, then with all she contained she dis

Daniel Web>tersS Widow.

A New York dispatch SAYS: last even,
Ing, at the Leroy mansion, New Roch-

line Webster, the widow of Daniel
Webster. The stately old lady had
been seriously i'll only about fort
night, although she had been gradually
failing for a year from advancing wears.
she was confined to her bed by an attack

indication that 1t was TO be the vener-
able lady's last sickness, her physicians
notified her surviving relatives. and
they came to the old-fashioned man.

The patients death was perfectly
painless, and it seemed to those who
passed the last hour at her bedside
rather as If she had fallen asleep
than died. At the bedside were the
brothers of the deceased lady. Daniel
Leroy and William Henry LEROY; Mrs.
Jacob Leroy, her sister-in- law, and Mr..
and Robert Edgar. The funeral will
take place Wednesday morning from
Trinity Church, New Rochelle. and the
body be buried at Woodland Cemetery.
Mrs. Webster was Daniel Webster's
second wife, and was born in New York
City IN 1877. Her father was the late
Herman Leroy, head of the once
famous commercial house of LEROY.
Bayard, Mckiven 4 Co., who had a
large trade in different parts of the
world. Mr.. Leroy was also the first
Holland Consul to the United States.
Mrs. Webster's mother was Hannah
Cornell, daughter of the last roval At
torney General of the State of North
Carolina. 1t was at her fathers house
q Broadway, then one of the fashion
able centres of the city, that in 1928 she
was first introduced to Daniel Webster,
the Senator from Massachusetts. Those
conversational abilities which had
charmed so many of the visitors in ner
fathers house soon captivated the dis
tlngushed Senator, and after only a
few months courtship, he married
her.
The ceremony was performed in
Grace Church, February, 1929. in the
presence of a large and fashinable as
semblage. In 1889 she went to Europe
with Webster, and travelled through
England and Scotland. During her So
lourn IN England she dined with Queen
Victoria at Windsor Castle, and was
also guest of the Duke of Wellington.

aristocracy. After Mr.. Webster's death
100 citizens of Boston contributed 81 900
each to fund of 100000, which was
invested for his widows benefit. and the
interest of this she received regularly.
although she inherited enough property
from her father TO fully supply her
needs.
