what no 1ntsrest" Means.

The terms upon which the lots are to be
sold to-day have been very generally dis
cuSsed in business circles for week. While
all admit that they are liberal to the buyer,
there has been a diversity of comments as
to the effect upon the Seller. Those who
may possibly be sellers some time in the
future don't like tae rece lent. They think
it is conceding too much to the buye S.
Some look upon it with some degree Of re-
sentiment, arguing that iJ will be more
difficult hereafter to sell on the usual terms
of Z per cent. per annum on deferred pay
ments.
There can be no doubt that this advan-
tage is considerable. The owner could lust
as well have received Interest, because the
good POINTS the property are 50 numerous
and so apparent that such an inducement
to buy was not ecessary.
However, the fat has gone forth, and as
nointerest will be charged, it becomes very
interesting to know how much the interest
amounts to.
If any certain lot were bought and the
buyer as wiling to give say 5000 for it,
paying cash or its equivalent, upon the
terms these lots will be sold he could afford
to pay sos.

chaser pays when he pays interest.

"REMEMBER THE ALAMO"

The Alamo Monumental Assoola-
ton Proceeding to Do So.
A well attended meeting of the
Alamo Monumental association was
held yesterday afternoon in the head
quarters of the Belknap Rifles.
Mrs. J. l.. Slayden was elected to
the vacant post of secretary.
The treasurer announced that funds
to the amount of Sll2.75 were in the
treasury.
Mr.. o. Lynch, president of the Fort
Worth Iron Works, was present and
addressed the meeting. He subscribed
$50 toward the funds for building the
monument and suggested that young
ladies be secured as travelling can
vassers to travel not only through the
state of Texas for subscriptions, but to
all other states of the Union. The
monument was one of national as well
as state Importance.
His idea will be acted upon and q
committee consisting of Mrs. Slayden
and Mrs. Newton was appoin ted to Sc
lect the young ladies. Ten per cent of
the funds they collect during their
travels will be awarded them for trav-
cling expenses and pay.
Mr.. Sam Maverick was appointed
as a committee of one to advertise for
plans for the monument. A premium
of 81 900 will be paid out Of Mr.. Nav
erick's $4,000 donation, for the best
plan secured.
1t was suggested that committees of
ladies be appointed in each county of
the state to solicit subscriptions for
the monument on the anniversary Of
San Jacinto Day, and this suggestion
will be acted upon by the association.

RICH REMNANT SALE.

There is nothing like economy in
shopping, and the best bargains in
dry goods are always found at the
remnant counters of large houses,
where such goods are often all but
given away. Wolfson has had con-
slant call for goods over his remnant
counters ever since announcing his
reductions. He has fine lot of rem
nants of wooden dress goods, silks,
domestics, ginghams, calicoes, ETC.,
which must be sold or given away. In
a few days these counters must be
cleared away to make room for new
goods. Call at once and you can find
really durable goods at your own
prices. 6t

1t Could Be Stopped.

The giving of "pelone" to children
by the stores of this city is one of the
pernicious customs that have been
handed down to San Antonio's pres
ent generation by the MeXicans of for
mer days. 1t is pernicious because the
buyer expects to receive little pres
ent of some sort when purchase is
made, and no matter how small the
puI chase, the pelone must be forth
coming, as it is expected. Usually
some cheap chalk candy is given, and
this usually to the children who are
sent to the store for the purchase.
Deleterious coloring matter and ma
terials are invariably used in this
cheap stuff, as there is no profit on it
and it must be bought cheap by the
dealer that it may be given away, and
| when the children eat this vile stuff
! sickness follows, and the doctor is
called in. Often the pelone given is a
green apple or other fruit that is some
times half rotten, and this, too, makes
| the children sick. Many parents in
! this city today are denOuncing the evil
OF the giving Of pelone, and say they
prefer to buy their goods of dealers
who do not give pelOne, but who sell
fair goods at fair weight and price
Then it will not cost them so much fol-
! the DOCTORS services. One gentleman
living south of the Arkansas Pass depot
has been kept up for the past three
to the grocery in Beanville and given
a peIOne in the form of poisonous
candy and green apple.

rank nonsense. AT all events, it would be
unkind tx call it rank nonsense.
However, / must confess that Mr.. Pao-
dock himself seems to th1nk tnat MS
theory is defective, for in the next para
graph of his essay he says, we n q
considerable change in the ~dlctlonarles
since then"-that is to say, SINCE Ihe nrsS
that photographers have acknowledge !,
constant growth and change of language. "
If the second dictionary got its pronun-
citation from the first dictionary,
and each succeeding dictionary. IN
turn got its pronunciation IRON
true that 1--WE find a considerable change
in the dictionaries" Then again, Mr.
Paddock says:-"Rash indeed is the mar
who will venture professedly to differ
with the dictionary. 1t is final" Ii the
dictionary is ina how does1 1T happen tnat
| we have this considerable change in the
dictionaries" and this constant growth
and change of language" And if men
were never rash enough to differ with the
dictionary, how would these changes n
this growth be possiblef Mr.. Paddock
recommends the physiological method of
teaching pronunciation, and among other
things sayS:-
But it may be laid down as a rule that where, In
the articulation of words or syllables with con-
tinuous voice, the position of other consonants or
vowels are necessarily touched upon in move
ment from syllable to syllable, these sounds In
troduced become q part of the pronunciation OF
such word.
This is equivalent to saying that the
sounds represented by the syllables OF a
word become a part of the pronunciation
of such word" have never heard this
proposition questioned. Nobody but a
1unatic would question it. Mr.. Paddock
is loud in his praise of Webster's diction-
airy. He calls it "a gift of Providence"
/ suppose it is a gift OF Providence
in the sense that we affirm all honest
things to come from Providence, but If he
means to imply that Providence inspired
or is responsible for Webster's abomina-
BILE etymology, then all / have to say is
that Mr.. Paddock is taking the most I'M
warrantable liberties with Providence.
Webster was not, as Mr.. Paddock seems
to think he was, "the father OF correct
American English" There is no such
language as American English, and even
If the language which we speak may by
an abuse of terms be called American
English, Webster is not its father.
The truth is that in every period the
best contemporaneous usage determines
the pronunciation of words. Thu diction-
aries take this pronunciation from that
usage and as the usage changes the
dictionaries change with it. A dictionary
can no more make a language than it can
sing a song or shovel a ton OF coal into
your cellar.

A Standard of Pronunciation Must
be Sought Elsewhere.

be Sought Elsewhere.
TO the Editor of the Jersey City NeaUs.-
Vice Principal Paddock, of the High
School, a gentleman of unblemished repu-
tation and admirable zeal, has been favor
ing the public, through the columns of
the Journal, with an exhibition of what
he knows about pronunciation" An
essay on such a subject from so prominent
a teacher merits, and was evidently in
tended to attract, attention. Tread it
with much interest. 1t is a valuable con-
tribution to human knowledge. For. If
it serves no other useful purpose, it at
least sheds a great deal of light upon the
condition of pathological learning in the
High School.
Mr.. Paddock says
Tribes have been instanced in South America,
which, formerly one, after separation for a
generation, on %reuniting could scarcely make
each other understood.
The phrase make each other under
stood' is certainly not English. Perhaps
it may be High School Greek. Mr.. Pad
dock asserts that "the schools have fur
nished a standard of what should be the
pronunciation of the English tongue"
and adds
The question may easily arise:-whence do our
schools, or the teachers within them, get their
standard OF pronunciation? They get it from
their own experience modified by their CON
CeptkOu OF WnaI Jne ulctlonary ana Their text
books mean to tell them.
The question might again arise:-Whence does
the dictionary gets its authority? Examining the
leading. recent dictionaries, we are led to con-
clude they get their authority from usuage and
some preceding dictionary or dictionaries. And
whence did these get theirs9 We arrive finally at
a first dictionary compiled when the question was
perhaps not as complex as now, and deriving its
authority from the common use Of the best users
of the language at that day.
According to this decidedly original
theory we get our pronunciation from the
schools, the schools get it from the die
tionary, the dictionary gets it from 'some
preceding dictionary the preceding die
tionary gets it from "a first dictionary
and this first dictionary gets it from the
common use of the best users of the Ian
guage at that day" The legitimate con-
clusion from this theory is that the pro-
nunciation of the English language has
not changed since Samuel johnson com
piled his dictionary. But we know that
the facts disprove. this conclusion, and
we are therefore led to dispute the ac-
curacy Of the theory upon which it Is
based. Ishall not say that this theory is
