The Most Lnrcenous of Linguists.
We owe our cousins a certain amount OF
gratitude for reclothing with conversational
respectability many of the highly convenient
words which had somehow dropped out, and
been replaced by much less direct and much
less expressive substitutes. Whether we need
be SO much obliged to them for the odds and
ends which they have picked up everywhere,
and put into current circulation, Is more ques-
tlonable. For the American is the most larcen-

languages and stolen the scraps" The slang
of the Chicago or San Francisco loafer has
levied contributions on half the Aryan, and
two or three of the non-Aryan tongues. AL
the elements that go to make up the cosmopoli-
tan population of the Union have contributed
something to the medley. There is a little
French, good deal of "Dutch,' fair guam
tity of Spanish, sprinkling of Scandinavian,
italian, a hint at Chinese, and something more
than perceptible dash OF the tongue Of the
Red Man. IL Is altogether a strange amalgam,
this American language--not unlike the equally
remarkable mixture out of which in due course

in the process of making and it is pretty certain
that they will exhibit more remarkable develop

Defense.

CmoAoo, Nov. l9.-At the opening Of the
Cronin trial this morning the state called
witness in rebuttal Of Burke's alibi then
the defense began rebuttal 10 strengthen its
case. Nothing Of interest was developed.
At the afternoon session the defense
rested its case after the examination Of
two OF three witnesses whose testimony
brought out nothing new.
The states attorney then said the state
had some new and important evidence,
which had just come To hand. Forest OBJ
iecied to reopening their case, but after con-
sultAtion with the states attorney, Judge
Mcconnell decided TO admit the evidence.
Police Officer bartholomew FLYNN was
then called 10 the stand and testified;
"when Daniel Coughlin was arrested. was
ordered by Lieut.. Elliott TO take him 30 the
Harrison street station. When we got there

since remained. Last night called the
attention of Capt. Schuettler 10 them.
Capt. Bartram knew had the knives, but
up 10 last night did not call the attention
of any one else Ia them"
This closed the direct examination, and
Forest moved to exclude the evidence, ON
the ground that the knives had been in
possession Of the state ever since Cough

but just as Fogarty and his friend met,
King drew his revolver and shot Fogarty in
the abdomen. King went at once TO his
cabin, accompanied 10y Peters. The cabin

King surrendered. Fogarty's friends did not
