The WeIshman's Effort to Learn En-
glish.

| Rev. DIR. Frederick Evans tOlQ q
story at the banquet of the Welshmen
to illustrate the difficulties q Welsh
man has in studying the English Ian
guage. The Welshman undertook as
his first lesson from an English teach
er this primer story, very simple to
an Englishman:
"That ploughman has a rough field
| to pillow and when he is through let
him shoulder sgun as though he was
not tired, and while he is roughing it
his wife is busy with the dough, for
which he should feel thankful, and
she has two children sick with the
! hiccoughs."
The Welshman was taught first to
pronounce ''ploughman" and on that
Tough" sound he read off the story
thus:
'That ploughman has a row field
to plough and when he is throu let
him shoulder his gun as thou he was
not tired and while heis rowing it his
wife is busy with the dow, for which
he should be thankful, and she has
two children sick with the hiccows."
Of course, the Welshman's teacher
told him that rough was always
''ruff," and thereupon the Welshman
corrected his story, as he thought:
"That Pullman has a rough field
to pluff and when he is thruff let him
shoulder his gun as thuff he was not
tired, and while heis ruffing it his wife
is busy with the duff, for which he
should feel thankful, and she has two
children sick with the hiccuffs.
But Through" was not thruff, and
after much coaching on that word
the Welshman innocently produced
another remarkable use of the" ough:"
THAT plooman has a rue field to
ploo and when he is through let him
shoulder his gun as thoo he was not
tired, and while he is rueing it his wife
is busy with the doc, for which he
should feel thankful, and she has two
children sick with hiccoos."
Then the Welshman was taught
how to pronounce" dough, " and keep
ing that in his head made his story
more monstrous:
s'That ploman has a row field to
plo and when he is throw let him
shoulder hisgun as though he was not
tired and while heisIowing it his wife
is busy with the dough, for which he
should feel thankful, and she has two
children sick with the hiccoes."
Then when the Welshman could
master "hiccoughs'' he capped the
climax:
'That pluppman has rupp field
to plupp and when he is thrupp let
him shoulder his gun as thuDp he was
not tired, and while he is ripping it
his wife is busy with the dupp, for
which he should feel thankful, and
she has two children sick with the hic-
coughs
1t is left to be understood that the
Welshman then caught his teacher on
a dark night and slew him with the
jaw-bone of an ass and went back to
Wales to the unmolested enjoyment
of his own phonetic language, in which
only one letter, .'y," has more than
one sound-Phil0delphia Times.

The Coming Census.

The count of people In the Unit
ed States will be made for certain
day in midsummer, probably late IN
June, and experts are already CIV
ing some ingenious estimates OF the
result. They vary from 100000
to 68,OOO,O00. Onepart of the lat
ter estimate is of great interest. 1t
is as follows: Since 1880 the num-
Der of immigrants IN any one year
has only twice fallen below 400,-
900, and that but a trife, while it
has risen as high as 1892 in 1882.
The registered immigration for the
ten years is certainly above 5,0OO,-
600. Add the unregistered from
Canada and elsewhere, and the to-
tai cannot fall below 100000, Of
whom at least 100000 were be-
tween the ages Of 10 and 40.
Of so many at the marrying ages
for a child of 10 in 1881 is now
aged 19) there must have been at
least 100000 marriages, averag-
ing five years duration each; and
previous eensuses show that of such
newly formed families of foreigners
the average is two children each
living at the end of five years
Add, therefore, 100000 for the
native children Of newly arrived
foreigners. Total, 100000 added
by foreigners alone. Deducting

INDIANA and Ohio are now ger
rymandered to suit Democratic pur-
poses, says The Philadelphia Press
The first state gave a Republican
majority of over 5000 on the con-
gressional vote in 1888, but on ac-
count of a Democratic arrangement
of the districts, the Republicans
could elect only three out of thir-
teen representatives, or less than p
per cent, Ohio is now gerryman-
dered also with the intention of CIV
ing the Republicans SIX out OF the
twenty-one congressman, although
they may carry the state by 10000
majority These two gerryman-
ders, with the burglary on the bal
lot boxes In the Southern states,
are the means to which the Demo
Gratis are looking to give them a
majority in the next congress, SO
that they can pass another free

put it as high as 25 per cent. Thus

DROWNED HIMSELF.
j. p. RockafellOW Takes His Life
While Depressed. =.

-
White Depressed.
On his return from Pasadena yester-
day Coroner Meredith was notified of the
finding of the body of an old man in the
reservoir at Rosedale cemetery during
his absence, and at O'Clock last evening
he held an inquest upon it. From the
testimony, it was learned that the body
was that of Jacob P. Rockafellow, q
native of Nova Scotia, s5 years of age.
He arrived in this city from the East
about four years ago, since which time
he has resided with N. II. Mullur, q
painter, whom he had known for eleven
years previously. For two or three
months past Rockafellow's health was
seriously impaired, and the fact that he
was unable to work appeared to
depress him considerably. On Sum
day evening last party of
Mullen's friends called at his house at
Rosedale, and about 80 O'Clock old
Rockafellow was seen to put on his hat
and leave the house. No attention was
paid to his absence for some time, but as
he did not return, Mullen became
anxious and went out to look for him.
No trace of him could be found, however,
and the Mullen family retired to bed.
Yesterday morning about 7 O'Clock Null
len again left his house to renew his
search, and his attention being attracted
by crowd of people on the bank of the
reservoir in the cemetery, he went over
and identified the body in the water as
that of his old friend. 1t had been dis
covered by laborer named j. II. G.
Wandeloch, who noticed coat and hat
lying on the bank when on his way to
work. and while looking for the owner of
the articles, he saw the head and shoul-
ders of the old man in the water, and
notified the sexton. The Jury, on hear
ing the facts as above, returned verdict
of suicide by drowning while suffering
from temporary insanity.

CONFESSION OF FAITH.
A Disc ussiOn Upon the Question Z
ReVislOn.

A Disc ussion Upon the Question OF
Revision.
The Presbyterian Association met last
evening at the First Presbyterian church
for the purpose of hearing arguments on
the question which is now agitating the
church in regard to the revision of the
Confession of Faith. Rev. DIR. Chichester
occupied the chair as moderator and
every seat in the lecture room was occu-
pied. The first speaker on the subject
was Judge Samuel Miner, who was of
the opinion that some Of the objection
able portions Of the Confession should be
taken out. He instanced several por-
tions of the Confession which he found
| it impossible to believe or to reconcile
with the language of the Bible,
in each case reading the language of the
Confession and of that portion of the
Bible which bore on the subject. Hon.
j. Shirley Ward also spoke learnedly in
the same strain and said that there must
be something wrong when other
churches had increased their member
ships SO much more rapidly than the
Calvanistic. He was of the opinion that
these Objectionable parts could be elimi-
mated and the system remain perfect.
Mr.. Ward stopped his remarks at very
interesting point to give way to others
who desired to speak on the same SUBJ
iect. Rev. Mr.. Reed spoke on behalf of
the Confession and held that parts of it
could not be taken away and the System
be improved. He compared the elimina-
ton of these portions to the looping off
of parts of the human anatomy, and
closed by saying that he would speak
further on the question at another occa-
sion. The discussion was continued
until 10 O'Clock when the meeting ad-
iourned,

About 10 o'clock last night Paul
Miizam, the proprietor of a saloon and
lodging-house on Alameda street, oppo-
site the Lankershim mills, heard some
one groauing upstairs, and on investiga-
ton discovered that one of his dodgers, a
colored man named Hall, was sick and
apparently in terrible agony, in his
room. Mitzam called his wife and re.
turned to his saloon, but in few min.
utes Mrs. Mitzam came down and in.
formed him that Hall had taken poison.
She said that in reply to her questions,
Hall had told her that he had been rub.
bing his leg with poison, and had fallen
asleep, leaving the liquid in glass by his
bedside. On waking up he felt thirsty,
and forgetting that he had put poison in
the glass, drank its contents. Miizam
on hearing this story ran over to Bob In
gram, the night watchman at the mills,
and told him about it. Bob at once went
over and saw Hall, who repeated his
story, and soon afterwards the man ex.
pired. The police and Coroner were

the body was removed to Orr & Sutch g
parlors, where an inquest will be held
today.
When the body was lifted from the
bed Coroner Meredith discovered an
illustrated advertisement, on the back of
which the following was indited in a
clear, legible hand:

AN INTERESTING LECTURE. Y
Herr Arnold Kutner ON Our Teu-
tonic Ancestors.

Herr Arnold Kutner ON Our Teu-
tonic Ancestors.
Herr Arnold Kutner, well-known
teacher of the German language and
literature, delivered lecture yesterday
evening at Unity church on "Our Teu-
tonic Ancestors and Their Literature"
There was fair audience, which listened
with attention and evident interest to
the lecture.
Herr Kutner began at the earliest
known history of the Teutonic races and
traced the origin of the people now known
as German. He briefly outlined their
mythology and religious rights, and with
frequent references to Tacitus and to the
earliest German writings, recounted their
customs and laws. He pointed out the
poetic instincts of the people which early
showed themselves even in the wording of
their laws. The origin of their liter
ature was in poetry, in which ALTERATION
was q characteristic element. The pro-
fessor read several short selections illus
trating the peculiarities OF this class of
literature.
The migration OF the early Teutonic
tribes, just before the fall of the Roman
Empire, was next treated by the profess
sor, and the terrible invasion of the Huns
was graphically depicted. He then de-
scribed the gradual conversion of the
wild tribes to Christianity, and the work
of Ulflas and his translation of the
Bible. The lecture was written in good
style and we'll delivered.
