"I Guess"

We are savagely criticised for saying 81
Guess" where the Englishman says 81
fancy" 1t is enough to mock us in the
eyes of certain critics as a nation of
Philistines that we 'guess" and reckon"
and Calculate" Britons who forget that
these phrases are never used by persons
of thorough culture and careful habits
of speech among rs are also very likely
to forget how many millions of English
men have trouble with the letter "h".
The American vulgarism, after all, al
though its use is not defended for an in
slant, was once good Chaucerian English.
Six times in as many pages of "Chaucer'
I found this American phrase:
"Her yellow hair was braided in tress,
and fell adown her back, full yard long, 1
guess" Our New English colonies,
formed just after Shakespeare's time,
brought his English to America, and our
long colonial isolation fixed it in our
usage, while British English has been
Johnsonized and thereby not improved.
American English to this day is more
nearly Shakesperian than British English.

A New Town Hall.

They say we are to have a new Town
Hall. Well, we need it, We awake from
a long winter full of vigor and hope. Every
enterprise for building up our town seems
in fiourishing condition. There seems to
be a real rush of genuine solid business men
into our town, bringing families of worth
and sobriety with them, who will aid and
strengthen. Plenty of room for more; yet
we have need of more houses for rent We
have good society here; no town could ask
for better. Good Church society, the dit
ferent branches living in peace and har-
mony together. Our schools are hard TO
be surpassed, and we think not equaled in
many places.
Some lady in far-of home sang in num-
bers sweet and pathetic of her home-State,
thinking it surpassed all others. So il is
with US. Who can find town where there
is more good cheer, more real socisbility,
integrity and religious nobility than in our
own WellingtonP Home is a sacred spot
where the heart has garnered up its choic-
est treasuresl
We are already within speaking distance
with Cleveland-can stand in our own door
and talk to our city neighbors. Pretty
soon we shall be able to enjoy all her great
lectures, concerts, etc., at home. 1t almost
makes US tremble to think that in the years
to come she may stretch out her big hand
and annex US. IvANHoE.

American Newspapers I'm 1888.

From the new edition of Messrs. Geo. P.
Rowell & Co.'S. American Newspaper Di-
rectory, which is now in press, il appears
that the newspapers and periodicals of all
kinds issued in the United States and Ter
ritories now reach the imposing total of
IL 1876. This is an increase of 585 In twelve
months. Taking the States one by one,
the newspaper growth in some is very con-
siderable. The present total in New York
State, for instance, is 1,399-a gain of 80 in
the past year. The increase in Pennsyl-
vania is 48, the existing number being 943.
Nebraska's total grew from 175 to pol, and
Illinois from 800 to 904. A year ago
Massachusetts had 400 papers; now the
number is 430. In Texas the new papers
outnumbered the suspension by 8, and
Ohio now has 7SS papers. instead of 692.
The most remarkable change has occurred
in the Territories, in which the daily pa
pers have grown from 43 to So, and the
weeklies from 189 TO 24S-Dakota being
the chief area of activity. The number of
monthlies throughout the country grew
from 976 to 1,034, while the dailies leaped
from 900 to 1,062. The figures given above
are exclusive of Canada, which possesses
total of 606. 1t is interesting to note
that the newly-settled regions of the Cana
dian Northwest are productive of news
papers as well as Of wheat, for the num-
Der of journals issued in Manitoba was
nearly doubled during the year.

The Election.

The Township election resulted as fol
lows: - Trustees, A. E. Sheldon, Frank
Warren, James Sheldon; Clerk, ]. W. VIII
bur; Treasurer, A B. Lambert; Assessor,
r. N. Goodwin; Constables, G. W. Baker,
Geo. Brenner.
Corporation officers: - Council, c. V.
Hemenway, NJ. w. Lang. Geo. Fisher, d.
T. Bush; Marshal, Geo. Brenner; Members
OF School Board, s. Windecker, W. R.
santley; Chief of Fire Department, II. G..
Starr; Cemetery Trustee, VIM. Vischer.
There was very little opposition to the
candidates selected for corporation Offices,
and about all the interest centered on the
question of Town Hall. A persistent ef-
fort had been made to select candidates
whom all factions could support, and it was
more nearly successful than for many years.
Political considerations were disregarded,
and only little disposition observed to
settle old scores by making personal at
tacks on candidates. We do not mean to
intimate that the Millennium has come,
and another election will be necessary to
show whether it is even approaching. In
the meantime we will be thankful for one
quiet election.

Joseph Cooks Lecture.

We have not time to make more than a
brief mention of Mr.. Cooks lecture, which
suffered very much in effectiveness from =
severe cold and hoarseness of the speaker,
making it difficult for him TO speak and for
his audience TO hear. We should judge
that Mr.. Cook was not able TO meet all
tastes as an entertaining speaker, but his
thought is broad, comprehensive, philoso-
phical, and shows him to be a man of ripe
scholarship and superior mental endow-
ments. His lecture would be considered
by some heavy, but those who were able to
follow his thought had rare intellectual
treat. He is the foremost man of America,
if not of the world, in his attainments in
the line of his research, and is able to ASST
milate and make grand use of his wonder
full requirements. There Is no better men,
tai and moral stimulus published in this
country from week to week than Joseph
Cooks Lectures, published in the New
York Independent, and whoever has kept
sbreast of his thought in his published
writings has found it an educator.

Harper's Magazine.

Every article in the April number of
Harper's Magazine, for one reason or an
other, invites especial notice; and no bet

Telephoning Between the Cities Of Chi
cago and New York.

"Hello, Chicago"
"Hello. New York"
"Can you hear what say!'
VERY plainly"
The above conversation was heard by a
representative of this paper as he sat in
his Office ofthe Postal Telegraph Company
in this city yesterday holding to his ear
one of the several receivers attached to the
main line. He was permitted to do this
through the courtesy of an invitation from
Mr.. G. F. Stumm, the obliging general
manager of the company.
The day had been set apart by the COM
pany for the purpose of further testing the
abilities ofthe telephones that have already
done such remarkable service between this
city and New York. The leading Chica-
go papers were represented at that end Of
the line, and nearly all the New York
and Brooklyn papers at the New York
Office Besides there were present a the
latter office such well-known electricians
as Mr.. Cushing, Mr.. Fray and Mr.. Lud-
wig.
The instruments used were the property
of the Peoples Telephone Company, of
New York, and have already been describ-
ed in detail in these columns. The line
was in perfect trim and worked like q
charm. The cable not having been COM
pleted under the river at Chicago, that end
of the wire was run into an office in the
stock yards, mile or two this side of the
city. The line is just 1,100 miles long.
A few moments after IL O'Clock the
Morse instruments were cut out and the
telephones attached. The induction did
not seem to be very heavy, although Mr..
Stumm said that the line running from
Cleveland to Canton was rendered almost
useless while the experiments were going
on, as that line and the one over which the
conversation was being carried on, ran
quite close together for several rods at
Bedford. So great was this induction, es-
yecially from the Chicago and New York
line, that the operators in Akron, Canton
and Cleveland could quite distinctly hear
what was being said in either Chicago OF
New York.
Chicago said: Hello, New York, what
time have your
al am twenty minutes Of l." answered
New York, show are you!"
ats just IL; ;49 O'Clock in Chicago" was
the answer.

not only heard the tones. but caught the
tunes. To the listener at Cleveland every
note was distinct.
Experiments were then made by holding
the receiver several inches from the ear.
Very little difference was noticed and both
conversations could be plainly heard.
"Wait moment while 1 change dia-

carried on for about thirty minutes with
scarcely word being missed. The New

of the leading metropolitan journals to
the man at the Chicago end of the wire,
and in all the different voices that spoke
over the wire the listeners at the Office in
this city did not miss a word. The exper-
iments made yesterday were without ques-

Harry Bigg's "4th of July Grafton"

connected with the day we celebrate.

ELYRIA.


Messrs. Ralph Fuller and Ernest Laun-
don have returned for a short vacation
from Ohio State University, and viii and
Fred Griswold from Delaware College.
Mr.. d. A. bunker, chorister of the Con-
gregational Church, has gone on a trip to
Boston, from there he goes to Chicago,
where he joins the Oberlin Glee Club. of
which he is a member.
Ann Eliza Young delivered her lecture
for the benefit of the G. A. r. on last
Wednesday evening. 1t was poorly at
tended but much enjoyed by the hearers.
The fire al the Automatic Screw came
fear being a very serious one, the loss
amounting to $8,500, which has been ad-
iusted by the Insurance Companies. Too
much credit can not be given to Mr.. Bur
ton, the foreman of the shops, who with
great presence of mind, broke his way
into the burning building, and with a
hammer broke steam pipe, allowing the
steam to escape, which aided materially
in extinguishing the fire.
The Elyria Roller Rink closed the sea-
son on Tuesday evening, on which occas-
ion several lady skaters who have learned
this season, contested for fine pair of
nickle plated skates; the one who made
the most improvement being entitled to
them. On last Friday evening Mr.. Ester
brook gave an exhibition of fancy skating,
and again on Thursday evening. He is
considered the champion skater of the
United States, and certainly did some fine
work. Messrs. Belding and Brush, the
managers, deserve great credit for the ex-
cellent manner in which the rink has
been conducted, and we doubt not roller
skating will be more popular than ever,
next season. DAN.
