Careless Speech.

Too much attention can hardly be called
to the constant murder of the Queens Eu-
glish. The Century for February, in Home
and Society" topics, has this to say on
careless speech Conversation as fine
art has fallen into neglect. We seem to be
relspsing into belief that speech is merely
medium of exhange, and that, as long as
the meaning is clear, it matters little if the
vehicle be crude. But it is a mistake to
think that we can use language with slap
dash incoherence, and convey our thought
unimpaired. The relation between thought
and expression is so close that one cannot
be independent of the other and this con-
nection is so vital that, when an idea be-
comes extinct in language, the word that
expressed it withers and falls away, unless
the word happen to find employment in ex,
pressing a new idea. Clear thinking is, OF
course, the first step toward clear speaking !;
but inaccuracy in the use of language
arises less from vagueness of thought than
from carelessness of speech, content to
hit somewhere in the neighborbood, but
never piercing the bull's-eye of the thought.
A crusade against the stupidity of thought
that lies at the root of much stupidity OF
expression is too hopelessly Qlixotic to at
'tmpt. ucIc is u uIuchH dpoue pooi VI in-
firm thought going badly clothed but there
are plenty of people who do think, and yet
who express themselves in manner SO
stumbling as to distort completely their
meaning. Not reading the beauty and
richness of the language that is open to us,
we yet insist on limiting ourselves to Ger
tain class of rough Saxon words, making
them do yeomsn service, and forcing upon
them mass of work for which they are en-
tirely untitled, until under this burden they
lose even their primitive strength. An ex-
IRENE development OF the evil of careless
speech is the indiscriminate use of extrava.
gait adjectives, SO common among school
girls, who, with smiling prodigality, expend
the resources Of the language upon mental
trifles. The injustice to the listener from
this inaccuracy of speech is obvious How
ever, this is slight beside the greater injus-
tice done to the language itself, in which
We have only life interest, and which we
must pass on to the generations following
us. We have no right TO abuse the language
we have inherited for the traces Of our
rough handling will surely endure

RUSSIA.

Moscow, May 2l.-The Car and Car
Ina arrived Sunday evening and proceeded
to the Petroffsky. and were met at the de-
pot by several mobiles who escorted them in
open carriages TO the palace. 1t Is estimat-
ed that goo, 900 persons lined the streets
along the route OF procession, and the
Car was repeatedly cheered rs he was
driven to the Petroffsky Palace, which
will be his home while here. Order was
maintained by unarmed citizen squads.
The city is profusely decorated in honor
are crowded with people and mutiudes
are arriving hourly. The price OF lodging
Is very high and it is already difficult TO
find rooms at hotels at any price, The for
eign embassies pay from 1000 to 30, 900
rubles for their quarters for the fourteen
DAYS OF the festivities. The former mayor
OF Moscow, Trelyakof, pays $500 rubles
for balcony on the Twerskaya, whore the
coronation procession passes. A carriage
costs 800 rubles for the fortnight
The coronation will doubtless be the
grandest ceremony Of the kind occurring
this century. For months several thous-
and men have been at work decorating the
Kremlin, and the expense incurred by the
Government will reach millions. The i'm
perial plate and table linen has arrlv d
from St. Petersburg, in hundreds of chests
and boxes. II is said TO represent value
OF 5000, 900 rubles, and weighs 1000
pounds.
II is believed that at least 400 900 strang-
era will be present at the coronation.
Drink and food for the people will be dis
,rihuted from 40 decorated railroad bag
gage cars, transformed into temporary
bars and drawn upon to one long row.
Every guest receives an earthenware jug
stamped with the imperial eagle and the
date OF the coronation, with which he can
call for his beer and mead, and he Is also
entitled 10 receive two meat pies, candles,
dried fruits and cakes.
Perfect order yet prevails, and the po-
lice and detective arrangements 10 pre-
vent ar outbreak are thought to be per-

them to give satisfactory evidence as to
their character, and will permit no one to
occupy window until proof is furnished
that they have no suspicious articles on

An Undercurrent Of Excitement.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-There has
been some speculation here recently with
regard TO certain mysterious movements OF
the military authorities, and which began
with the agitation OF the extrRditon OF
Sheridan and Walsh. 1t is said number
OF men at the Washington Barracks were
set aside for special service, and were
practically under arms with orders for any
emergency, and are kept ready TO 60 out
the Barracks says that be night after Brady
and Curley were hanged dozen men were
ordered to put on citizens clothes, aud
arms were issued 10 them. and they were
ordered TO report 10 the British Minister
He noticed that only native Americans
were selected for the detail. In confrma-
ton OF this extraordinary story
1t Is said that at the Bar
racks there are number OF soldiers who
are under special orders, the purport Of
which they do not know. The Secretary
OF War is quoted as SAYING that measures
had been taken TO prevent any disgrace
ever attaching to this government by reason
ofthe resentment Of any class OF people
against the representatives OF foreign gov
eminent; and II is thought that he has come
into possession of facts which justify such
additional precautions as would sem to
have been taken and which may he based
upon threats received from the dynamite
faction In this country, both at the English
Legation and at the White House. that dire
destruction would visit those concerned in
the extraditlon Of the accused Irish
men. The mystery thrown around
the extradition cases by the state de-
partment tends to strengthen the belief that

ST.. LOUIS, May 2l.-Between twelve
and one O'Clock this morning Clements
boarding house at 2l2l Broadway, was the
scene OF q murder, the victim OF which was
a young man named stephen Hinchey, a
pIaSterer by trade. The murderer was
Joseph Hoffman, blacksmith. Hoffman,
Hinchey and another Of the boarders
named James Looney had been in the sa-
loon under the boarding house during the
evening playing pool, and there was no
quarrel between them, 50 far as is known.
ABOUT midnight Hoffman went to his room
In the third story TO go TO bed. He
was thinking Of leaving the
place, and his yalise was on
the bed when Looney and Hinchey
entered the room. A quarrel ensued be-
tween Hoffman and Hinchey, the latter, 1t
is claimed, provoking i by ordering IIoff-
man to leave the house and kicking him.
They had a struggle and Looney inter-
fered. They were close to the bed and,
according TO one account, Hinchey had
Hoffman down on 1t. Reaching into his
vase Hoffman drew his revolver and fired
at close range, the ball entering Hinchey's
right breast and probably penetrating
either the heart or the aorta, as death was
almost instantaneous.
There are conflicting statements as to the
cause OF the trouble, but II Is thought that
there Is a girl In the case.
