pupils composition on THE Black

nation has various ways of making
money to supply himself with nutri-
ment SO that the body may be able to
exhilarate its immortal 1tenant, the
soul. "The one about which | shall
speak is the smith. This trade is of
momentous Importance. 1t is quite
amusing to hear him when he is
mending a piece OF malleable work;
he has way of striking the iron that
makes it sound harmonious to the
ear. and children often stop to hear
him."

The critics are growing greatly
alarmed over the influx of new words
into the English speech and writing
of to day, and seek to stem the tide
of innovation by the creation of an
American academy of language. 1t is
proposed to make this merican
pan-English in the end, making its
membership to consist of a represent
ative from each first class college or
university and to this academy
should be relegated all new words,
changes of photography or accepted
meanings, and their dictum to be
final. All very well in theory, but in
practice it is the people who make
language not the cream of its scholar
ship. The every day words of every
day English, spoken by every day
people will always constitute the Ian
guage of that people no matter what
refinements Of pronunciation and
photography may be demanded
OF the schools, and the every
day wants of the masses will coin
words for themselves and these
newly coined words are destined to
live in the literature of the people
wherever they have force and pertin-
ence to make for themselves a place.
No academy of language can prevent
this. All such an academy could do
would be to act as guard at the gates
of classical English and preserve the
language, idiOms, photographers and
pronunciations of the past. This they
could do, but to control and prevent
the living language OF this present
from adding to its volume by the in
crease it shall continue to receive in
each present as in the past, will be a
useless and vain attempt. The in
stinct of growth is in all vital Ian
guage and new words become ne
cessity where new ideas are continu-
ally laboring to find expression.

TeIegraphic Rates Declining.

Telegraphic Rates DECLINING,
Sandusky Register
In 1865 the average charge per mes
sage was Sl,04. In 1883 the average
charge was 81 cents. In 1868 the aver
age profit per message was Al cents.
There are now about 10000 miles of
telegraph lines not owned by the
Western Union. These statistics eff
fectually disprove the popular charge
that the Western Union, by absorb
ing rival lines, secured and exercised
the power to advance rates. Instead
of advancing, the company has stead
lily decreased rates, until now rates
are less than in England, where the
Government controls the lines and

vessels now building are under heavy pen
alties for delaying construction. He says:
'sThe navy department was not consulted
nv Congress when the appropriations were
made for the vessels. The committees
prescribed not only the cost, but the speed
or horse power and tonnage of all OF the
ships. To realize the conditions, officers OF
the department who designed the vessels
have been compelled to draw up plans for
vessels which could not be built for the
money appropriated as work ofhigh grade
was required and it was expected that our
navy vessels would be the best OF their
type in the world"
He did not think the ships could be con-
structed at the navy yards, which are al
ready crowded with work, at the prices
fixed by Congress.
Engineering experts believe the reason
for the advance in figures of the bids is to
be found in the severe requirements in the
matter of speed and horse power. The
Yorktown approximates in size and charac-
teristics the 2,000-ton cruisers bid upon TO-
day. She is 100 tons displacement and
the contractor agreed to give her 5000
horse power. The vessel is to be furnished
at S455, 000 This is a little more than one
half of the average bid received to-day, but
the new vessels are required to have 3,4O0-
horse power with Is knots speed,
and so in point of size the Atlanta
and Boston are of about the same
tonnage as the 3,OOOto vessels,
but while they cost only $4,000
and Ss19, 600, they had but 8, $50 horse power
and were designed for IS knots speed,
while these new vessels must have 10000
horse power and 10 knots speed. This
means a more compact, improved and
costly and heavier hull. Their construction

publicists in forty three states and terri

representatives from the different sections

Especial to the HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The New York
lawyers of Mrs. Maybrick have supplied
the press with statement of which the
following is an excerpt:
'The Liverpool papers since the trial
have contained reports of interviews with
the jurors. In one instance the writer
states that during the trial he was in
we'll known billiard room and found four
of the jurors playing billiards and mixing
with other players and visitors. One of
the jurors in an interview states that the
jury were furnished with all the papers
containing the reports of the trial; that
they could not hear the testimony dis
tinctly and therefore made free use of the
newspapers an made their own cuttings.
1t may fairly be presumed that it was upon
these cuttings, containing possibly garbled
or imperfect reports of the testimony, that
the jury found their verdict, independently
of the gnilt or innocence of the accused. 1t
may be safely asserted that where such
things could happen or are tolerated, trial
by iury is farce

A STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL.
A New Method of Preserving the Most Deli
.ciOus of All the Berries.


Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch. I
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The new method
of curing strawberries for winter use, or
rather'the old method improved and widely
applied, is winning favor and wealth for
cultivators in New Jersey. The fruit is
cured by the SUMS rays in glass houses.
When the berries begin to ripen the beds
have clean straw shaken down to prevent
dirt and smut from the rain, especial care
being taken in picking. The berries are
steamed at the same time to avoid another
handling, and carried to the preserving
farm in spring wagons to avoid jolting. AT
the farm house the cellar cups are emptied
into tank of cool spring water, and the
contents washed to avoid any dirt. Both
are made as short asconsistent with clean
illness in order that the flavor may re
ceive no injury. Weighed in lots of twenty
pounds, the fruit is covered with the neces-
sary amount of graduated sugar and
placed on a stove until the sugar meltS.
That takes but a few minutes, and dainty
hands next spread the round, plump ber-
ries, swimming in sweet LIQUID, on pure
white platters two inches deep, ready to be
exposed to the suns rays.
Tie preserving house is much like an Or
hObnOUSC anu OulA III lut dI
rangement of the shelves, which are placed
so as to gain the largest possible amount of
surface exposed to the SUMS rays. 1t is
kept tightly closed. With clear skies three
to four days exposure is sufficient to cook
the fruit enough for its preservation, but
with LOUDLY skies aud sunny showers it is
sometimes necessary to keep the fruit in the
house week, when the fruit passes from
a b!ood red to goldenc armine and the syrup
drops at the proper consistency from the
experts dipper, the attendants carry the
platters of preserved fruit into the house,
where the fruit is put in glass tumblers that
hold half pint each. When these have
cooled sufficiently they are sealed air
tight and packed ins boxes of two dozen
each and stored away until shipped to con
sumers.
1t is claimed by those who serve and
those who eat, that berries treated in this
way are superior to all others because of
their perfect shape and higher flavor.
Neither fragrance nor flavor is driven out
by the heat, as is the case with all preserves
made over fire and as is the case with hot
house berries in winter. So little air is al
lowed to come in contact with the berries
that there is no danger from evaporation.

An Anti-Bell Telephone Witness.

DENVER, Aug. 22.-Zanus F. WILDER,
perhaps the most important witness in the
governments suit against the Bell Tele-
phone company, was found dead in bed to.
day. His death was evidently the result
of hard drinking.
WILDER. was chief clerk in the electrical
department of the patent Office at the time
Bells telephone model was submitted and
patent applied for Subsequently WILDER
acknowledged having been bribed by the
Bell people, but denied this on the witness
stand, causing the government set back
in it's presentation of the case. Pending
the trial of the Bell case, WILDER was placed
in charge of . secret service officer who
brought him to Colorado in hopes OF break
ing him of his drinking habit. In this the
officer was successful for a time.
For year WILDER has been conducting a
patent office in this city. He was cousin
to ex-President Hayes and was considered
one of the best electricians in the country.
