Cutting Denies It

DESvER, Col, November Is.-The
Associated Press at this point has re-
ceivsd the following from Albuquerque,
n. NJ, this morning: The information
regarding Cutting sent you Thursday
night was forgery. The forgery was
committed by one Captain Friend, who
seeks notoriety. He is q crank. The
regular Associated Press agent has been
absent from the city for a week, con-
sequently has nothing to do with the
matter. When learned here that the
telegram had been sent you. inquiry
was made immediately by the telegraph
office, where il was learned that Captain
Friend offered the dispatch to the As
soclated Press agent at Denver, signed
): q. A. The operator, supposing the
dispatch genuine from the fact that
Friend was an employe Of Albright at
one time, sent it. The dispatch was
written and sent without the knowledge
OF any one connected with the Democrat
and was a forgery Of the initials of
Albright, who Is an Associated Press
representative at this point. The
Democrat believes that there IS not a
word OF truth in the recruiting OF an ex-
petition to invade Mexico, the foreman
81 that paper having a letter from
Cutting, in which he applies for posi-
ion as composition, giving as a reason
hat LIE wanted TO get away from e.

"a Divorce Case

LONDON. November 13.-The hearing
in the Sebright divorce case was resumed
to-day. Several witnesses testified TO
Mrs. Sebright's worried and excitable
condition during the period imme-
diately following her marriage. Con.

which Mr.. Sebright forced her to marry
was the threat that il she refused be
would declare that during their secret
engagement he had obtaired a surren-
der OF her virtue. the judge said that no
evidence had been adduced ts sustain
the charge. Mrs. Ssbright's counsel
thereupon withdrew the allegation.

English and American.

(From the New York Observcr)
1t IS often said that Americans and
Englishmen have common language !;
and so they have-with difference.
In small circle Of educated people in
both countries the English language is
spoken in the same way, barring some
very noticeable differences Of intlec ton.
Bat the masses in the two countries
have considerable vocabulary of diff
ferent words. Walking down tleet
street, in London, the other day, saw
sign in a barber's window, which
read Teeth scaled, drawn and stop
ped 1,of course, knew what it meant,
but never heard either word used in
the same sense in America. found
the Baggage Room to be in England
IA Left Luggage Room, and Ticket
Office Booking Office an Elevator
Lift and might 90 on to the end
Of the column enumerating different
words Of different sense applying to
the same word. But more than this, |
went out to Hampstead Heath one
day, within the postal circle of Lon.
don, and not finding cab, asked lad
to show me the house | sought-some
half a mile from the station. The child
was a veritable cockney-had literally
been born within the sound of Bow
bells. He was very talkatIve lad, and
spoke English as his native tongue :;
but | was actually unable to under
stand more than two.thfrds Of his talk &.
OF course, in speaking OF this differ
ence of language, l do not refer to the
radical differences that exist in the
English counties, where, practically,
English is not generally spoken but
to that class OF people who would claim
yernacular right in Webster's Die
tionary or'its English equivalent. TAX
ing hundred men, as you would meet
them on Broad way, and another hun
dred men as you would meet them in
the Strand. | am sure the former would
speak the better English, judged by any
mutually acknowledged standard But
the Englsh-speaking voice is better
than ours-fuller, richer, and Gentler !;
and the mere sound of a group Of En-
glishmen talking together is pleasanter
to the ear than the talk of similar
group of Americans. w. NJ. F. r.
