We seem TO be in fair way to have
definitely settled the true pronunciation
of the word dahlia. Mr. Ilibbard admits
that il should be pronounced dah-li-a,
but that. on the whole, it is better to
adhere to the old style of dalea, omit
ting the pronunciation of the important
h altogether remembering that the
plant is named after Dahl, the Swedish
botanist. 1t does seem obvious that the
pronunciation should be such as to i'm
press upon the mind of the listener or
learner the idea that the name Of the
dahlia is purposed to honor that of Dahl,
and not some one of the name of Dale.
To that end, hold that the proper pro-
nunciation should he dahl-ya, making 1t
as it were two sylables only; and such as
brings into prominence its name parent.

left hand. Mr.. White attempted to
strike him with a chair, but was pre-
vented from doing so by friends.

PANIC AT A PLAY.
Tire Cry of Fire Suddenly Raised in u

Johnstown Theater-Tcn or Twelve Lives
Lost.
JonNs1OwN, Pa, Dec. 11.-An alarm
of fire was sounded last-nightat 1890. 1t
was in DR.. Wakeheld's stable in Kern
vile. "Ihe Uncle Toms Cabin" was
playing in Parke Opera-house and when
the alarm was sounded the whole audi
ence of 600 people jumped to
their feet and made a dash for
the stairway, and fearful jam
and crushing were the result.
The following were killed: L, Bigler,
Mrs, Ncster, Charles Friant. John Carl,
VIM. Miller, colored; Isaac Falor, un-
known woman, Miss Clara Burns Geo.
Horner, Geo. S!onachcr, of MI Pleas
ant, Pa: r. Fleishour, Lizzie Claycomb.
The seriously injured are: Chas. Vaughn,
John Wcimcr. Albert Owens, Mrs. Les
ter, Mrs. Platt Richard Worthington,
and about twenty more slightly injured,
such as sprains and bruises. When the
panic occurred n large number of per-
sons, thinking the fire was in the opera
house, tried to get into the thcatcr'
making another panic, and it was nee
essary for the flremen to turn the hose
on the crowd to get them away from the
door. The screams were terrible,
and it was shocking to see small
children knocked down by big men
and trampled upon. The thcatel
has always been noted as
death trap, and was condemned twelve
years ago, but the other theater wa'
washed away in the flood, and this one
has been in use. The manager tried tt
quiet the crowd, but it was Of no use
