NOT SLANGY.
How y Chicago Girl Refutes the Foul
Islander
[Chicago Rambler.

Islander
[Chicago Rambler
A Chicagoan visiting Boston wakes
indignant at an article regarding
Chicago girls which appeared in an
Eastern journal. The article charges
that Chicago girls are in the habit of
using such expressions as getting
left, ''rustled round, "Went back on
him." "corraled her handkerchief"
Tin the swim" "made the rifle" and
''put in his best licks.' The Chi
cagnan writes to the papers here to
say that since his arrival in Boston,
six months ago, he has not seen a
pretty woman. We think it highly
probable. But, regarding this charge
that Chicago girls use slang, in order
10 obtain the facts, u representative of
the Rambler called upon Michigan
avenue young lady, who Is typical
belle of the Garden City. The re-
porter was ushered into resplendent
salon, furnished in the style of Louis
Kane, or maybe it was Louis Katorze.
lie seated himself upon an old gold
fauteuil, and presently the young lady
referred to materiallzsd, heralded by
the frou-frou of her silken dress upon
the stair. The article referred to was
shown to her, and she became ex-
ceedingly indignant, observing
"That's fish story. The fellow
who wrote it is way off his base."
"You think then that there is
no truth in the assertion that Chicago
girls are addicted To slangl'
"Well, now, hold On. don mean
exactly that. There may be some of
them who use slang, but never work
the slang racket myself. suppose
some of the girls do use slang some
times, but this child is not one of
them: now you hear my bazooi"
"What is your opinion of Boston
bellies, compared with those of Chi
cag0i' inquired the scribe.
IL think we eau discount Boston on
beauty, and as for accomplishments,
why, that's where we hold full hama.
Take me fl r example,"
II should he most happy" said the
reporter.
"Coms off y she calculated, play
fully. Take me for example. l can
paw the ivory with the best of 'em
can MARBLE u few wards. and l can
elecuts too. No, sir, | can tell YOU,
Boston girls have got to hustle to keep
up with US, and it's very seldom
hear any of the girls use slang. Well,
must go and get ready for the mat
ines; 80 over the river"
"Au revoir," responded the journal
ist, making his best three-for a quar-
ter bow, and Withdrawing with his
usual grace.
This interview effectually gives the
lie to the allegation thar the girls of
Chicago are addicted to the use of
slang.

Immediately above the New DoMuN-
ION building, and will be ready for
Mr.. Dering by the first Of April.

EX-SENATOR WILEY AT FAIRMoNT.
Hon. w. 7. Wiley lectured at
Fairmont one evening last week to a
very appreciative audience. The
papers speak very highly of his lee
ture. The Index says:
''Hon. Waitman T. Wiley, of
Morgantown, delivered an excellent
and patriotic lecture in the Method
list Episcopal Church last night in
the presence of a large and attentive
audience. The subject of his dis
course was The Relation of Law to
Civil Liberty This is the fourth
lecture of the series (six in nnmber)
promised our people by those who
have the matter in charge, and so
far the undertaking has been a de-
cided success"
The West Virginian was also
much pleased, and says:
"The lecture at the NJ. Z. Church
last evening, by the Hon. Waitman
I. Wiley, of Morgantown, was one of
the best ever delivered in the town,
the venerable ex-senator occupying
about one hour and a half in one of
his ablest efforts. Owing to the I'M
certainty as to whether Mr. Wiley
could meet his engagement, on ac-
count of the weather, and the limit
ed time in which to give notice after
arrival, there was not as large an at
tendance as the lecturer and his
subject deserved. We regret our in
ability to give the lecture more ex-
tended notice, our paper going to
press so soon after it was delivered"

The PEsihs or SAEieHtNe.-Eyen
so delightful passtime as sleighing
has its drawbacks, as is illustrated
by the following incident;
Last Sunday morning Misses Jen-
ME and Mary seBasis and Mr. Henry
Hayes started la sleigh for Frum's
school house, where Miss Jennie is
engaged in teaching school. At an
ever to-be-remembered spot on the
road, one runner of the sleigh broke
through spcw drift and the other
didn't. The force of gravity per-
formed its usual little caper The
sleigh went over. So did its occu-
pants, but the mishap carried no Sc
rious results. After leaving Miss
Jennie at her boarding house, Miss
Mary and Mr.. Hayes started home
ward. At the railroad crossing near
Ellington that sleigh runner made
another rush, ran upon the iron rail,
while the other runner, more sedate
and dignified, ran along soberly on
the ground. Old Gravity again got
in his work, and the sleigh again
went over. And so did its occu-
pants. They gathered themselves
up once more and tried it again.
After coming some distance farther
they came to an icy place in the
road. The horse stopped and look
ed at it, made desperate leap, and
the driver and his companion-O,
where were they? Dig in a neigh
boring snow drift. Before they
could extricate themselves the horse
was hard on his way toward Nor
gantown. Some considerable dis
lance down the road he was stopped
by Madison Hess, who jumped into
the sleigh and drove back to meet
the sleighers, who had started on
foot after gathering themselves to-
gether. Neither was seriously in
jured, and in due time and without
additional adventure the town was
reached. Verify, sleighing hath its
perils as well as its charms.

WHAT SHALL IT BE?-It is now
high time to begin figuring on how
to celebrate the incoming of the first
train on the f., NJ. & P. How shall
it be done? There should be some
popular and enthusiastic demonstra-
tions; some suitable channel through
which our cups of joy can overflow.
Parades and street demonstrations
are not compatible with cold or
muddy winter weather. Shall the
bands play and cannon be fred?
Shall the last spike be made of sill
yer or gold and be driven with pomp
and ceremony amid the thunder
ing applause of the multitudes?
Arrangements are already being
made for various celebrations more
Or less circumscribed in their ma
ture, but there should be something
done in which everybody can join.
Something toward the glorious con
summation of which every small
boy, every old man, every young
lady and every young man can lend
a hand. Something in which even
the dogs can aid by virtue Of their
barking. What shall it be? Other
demonstrations of JOY and good will
will take care of themselves, but
there must be some public reception
given the frat train connecting us
with the cleared country and the
white settlements. What shall it
be? We are ready to hear your
suggestions. Speak right out in
meeting. Let us know what you
think. Draw up your plan'and send
it in. Do it Mt once. Our dexter
ear elevated to windward hears even
now the wild and savage shrek Of
the oncoming fierce but henefcient
conqueror, We wait.
