Irish national league were arriving in
great numbers during the day and to-
night it is estimated fully 1000 are on
the grounds. There was active can
vassing about hotel lobbies respecting
the election of officers but neither ele-
ment in the convention laid bare its
hand. Mr.. Davitt is said to be greatly
annoyed by the Ogden grove delega-
tions, and has positively declined to
interfere IN the disputes even with II
view to their adjustment. II is there
fore certain that the matter must be
fought out in the convention.

Detectives at Fault.

CHICAGO, Aug. l7.-There was a
great deal of quiet work and many
mysterious movements among the
officials of the Rock Island and Lake
Shore roads to-day over three attempts
to wreck two passenger trains and one
freight train. Detectives were at
work on the case all night. In two
cases iron wedges were placed in the
guide near the cylinder head, blowing
out the head and disabling the engine
In the third case the back lights In
one of the disabled trains were turned
and came near causing collision with
the train coming after.

The Japan Treaty.

WASHINGTON, Aug. E.-Informa-

During the war the people OF Arkad el-
phia, Ark, kept up their religious REVEALS.
They argued that the Yankees might keep
out sugar and coffee, but that they couldn't
keep out the Lord. Among the most fer
vent of the revivalists was old Sister Boyle.
Without her no revival could hope TO DO a
success, and whenever there was tho least
drawback, she was called ON 10 pray. One
night, at q meeting, the mourners were
slow in 'comin' through" Sister Boyle
was called upon. She took position near
the altar, kDelt down, raised her hands, and
said ooh, Lord, we are In great distress,
We have tried rye, Drowned potatoes,
parched corn, okery, and many other
things, trying to get coffee taste out of
'em, but, Lord, thou knowest as well as we
do that parched corn an sich lacks right
smart OF being coffee, so now, Lord, know
ing all this, please open the blockade an
let the Lincoln coffee pour in, an Wen
praise Thee early an late. Amen"

Steel Making in the South.

Under the heading, 1.-THE South May Now

There are, OF course, more ores suitable
for basic steel In the south than for Besse-

Foreign Equivalents for "AIr."



During the past twelvemonth slight
change has been introduced Ia detail Of
musical criticism. The various foreign
equivalents of the prefix "Mr." have long
perplexed critics, printers, aud readers. We
have been expected to write about Mr.. Mac
kenzie, NJ. Gounod, Signor Verdi, Herr
Wagner, Senior Sarasate, Pan Dvorax, Per
Nordbion, and Gaspodln Pachmann. On
the continent these distinctions are en-
tlrely unknown. In Germany they would
refer to Herr Mackenzie, In Italy to Signor
Pachmann, In France to NJ. Wagner, and
began to write of every male, OF whatever
nationality, as "Mr." About the same
period, or shortly afterward las the reform
was avowedly borrowed from abroad, there
is no need TO quarrel on the point of time),
the custom was adopted by the Daily Telc-
graph and the 50. James Gazette, but
believe no other paper has yet made the
plunge. The thing Jared little at first;
but we seem soon to have got used to IL.
In balfhearted sort OF way some of us
have also adopted the prefix "miss" for
unmarried lady artists. But here we have
all stopped. Nobody, so far as l know,
has yet had sufficient courage TO refer to
Mrs. Patti, Mrs. Nilsson, or Mrs. Schumann.
II would BIO perfectly logical to do so, fur
moro logical, indeed, than to use the sense
less prefix "madamn when writing about
an italian or q German lady. The herr,
the monsieur and the slgnor will probably
flourish for some time to come, although
writer's will hesitate to commit the absurd
ity Of trying to popularize the preGxes
"Pan," "Per," and "Gaspodin." But the
general use OF the word "Mr.n Is at any
rate the thin end of the wedge,
