meaning world, and puk, speech.
The language consists of the best oil
over twenty tongues, emitting their
Irregularities. The most is taken from
the English language, the others be-
ing represented according to their i'm
portance. The pronunciation is ar
ranged to be easy for all nations; the
letter ar" therefore, is seldom used.
If that letter is contained in English
words when brought into Volapuk, 1t
is changed to l.. All the letters are
English. The consonants are pro-
nOunced as in English, and the vowels
like Spanish. Every work is spelt
phonetically, there being no silent
letters. The rules of the Volapuk
grammar have no exception. 1t even
goes so far that plurals from the pro-
noun 1 (ob) are formed regularly by
adding an (obs), the same way as
with every noun. Adjectives and
verbs can be formed from every noun
by adding the syllables elk" or ''on."
Certain syllables are used to save
memorizing large vocabulary;
an instance is the syllable
"le" which when pretiXed to
any word, expresses the same general
idea in larger degree. House in
Volapuk is dom" The prefix gives
the word "ledom" meaning palace.
The syllable "lu" prefixed to word
denotes the same idea in smaller
sense. Using the same example, "lu-
DOM is cottage. These two syllables
alone save the memorizing of one
hundred words. Out of a classified
ton of nine hundred words it is neces-
sarv to memorize but three hundred
and two syllables. Volapuk is so
arranged that in translation all pecul-
iarities of style are retained: 10 one
accustomed to the sound of the Ian
guage it seems strange, but its har-
mony grows upon the ear. The whole
grammar is contained in four small
pages.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1888-10-18
ASHTON STARKE,
PRESIDENT OF THE RICHMOND, VA,
EXPOSITION.

The Agricultural, Mechanical and
Tobacco Exposition at Richmond,
Va, is now in full swing. 1t is a
great thing for the south and the
Union, and trip to Richmond to see
it is among the luXuries of the season.
Richmond has shown much courage
and enterprise in providing the great
show, with will continue open until
November q. The main building is
$50 feet long by 800 feet wide, and
sixty-six feet Ugh. 1t is filled with
floral exhibits, domestic manufactures,
textile fabrics mechanics and manu-
facturers' products, etc. A railway
runs through the building, so that a
whole train of cars pass through from
one end to the other. supplementary
to the Exposition building are an art
hall, music hall, "a bench show, pOul-
try. pet-stock exhibition, and other
"annexes" innumerable, together
with a fine race-track and cOnmO-
dious grand-stand. Generous provis-
ion is made for the amusement of the
public.
Lovers of the weed are interested
perhaps more in the tobacco exhibit
than in anything else shown by
those go-ahead Virginia people, who
set forth to all the world what
wonderful resources the South
possesses. Tobacco is shown in
every form, from the seed to where it
finds the users mouth. The plant is
seen growing in all its stages; the
manner and methods of it's cultivation
are shown, and the insects that de-

CYNTHIA LEONARD
GETS HER NAME REGISTERED IN NEW
YORK.

Mrs. Cynthia Leonard.who is chair
man, or, more properly speaking,
chair woman of the Equal Rights
Party Campaign committee, and the
secretary of the same body, Miss
Anna johnson, have succeeded in
getting themselves registered in New
York City, where their party has its
headquarters. 10 vote for their pres
idential candidate, Mrs. Belva A.
Lockwood, will be another thing.
Mrs. Leonard managed the registra-
ton matter with an adroitness which
seems to indicate the sex's superiority
to the four puzzled officers who per-
mitted the innovation. There is no
record of the names of women ever
before appearing as those of voters in
the Empire city.
The able general of the Lockwood
forces was born, educated and mar
ried in Buffalo, New York. Her hus-
band and five of her eight children are
living. She seems to be quite as
proud of her family as of her political
capabilities. Her home is in Chica-
90, where her husband is printer of
considerable means, and where she
edits a paper. She is the author OF
book which has its admirers, and is
entitled: elena Rouden, Southern
Letter Carrier or Rebel Spy" An
other work from her pen is in press
and will shortly be published. Mrs.
Leonard is a philanthropic woman,
and busies herself doing good in the
western metropolis. Her husband
and she have climbed the hill to-
gether, and she says that her capabil-
ity to get along in the world, and
force her way where she wishes to be,
is largely the result of the hard ex-
periences which she had beyond the
Mississippi in those days when life
was hard struggle, and when her
husband and she were poor, except
ing in the blessings of love and chill
dren not too few.
The head of the equal rights cam
paign committee, as becomes her Of
fetal dignity, speaks hopefully OF
woman's political future in the Uni
ted States. In her opinion greater
progress has been made since last
July in the march towards female suf-
frage than in the 80 years previous to
that time.
