The Abuse of Language.

The following paragraph appeared this week i'll a well-conducted newspaper-per- haps in several: "The Worthing magis- trate yesterday committed for trial young man named Sparks. A lady visi- tor, having purchased some whisky. went to seat on the Marine promenade to con sume it. While in A state of semi-uncon- sciousness she was robbed of her purse and rings The mans arrest was the re- suit of his visit to Brighton pawn broker"
 The reporter who wrote these lines would have expressed himself less like n reporter if lie had written bought" and drink" instead of ''purchase' and icon | sume." But, then, he was reporter, and his words are not actually wrong. ''Semi- unconsciousness' is an expression almost foolish enough to be amusing, and we may pass that, if We are not exactly grateful for it. But ''lady" is intolerable, and the time has come to make a stand against the disuse of the word which is so deplorably frequent. It begins, of course, among | women who are not ladies, and the men of their acquaintance who want to be civil. The first I see of it." said dilapidated | female, who was giving evidence in court not many years ago, twas when this ere | lady was lyin' in the gutter, very drunk, | fghtin' with the other lady" Civility is | an excellent thing but true politeness | should be independent of gross misde- | scription.
 The word lady has rather particularly definite meaning, and a meaning which it
 is often necessary or expedient to convey.
 Its conveyance is impossible if the appro-
 priate word is commonly used to indicate
 women who are not ladies as often as to
 indicate women who are The trick is,
 because of human idleness, very easy tc
 fall into, and all persons who value, accu
 racy of language, or-what is perhaps still
 more mpOrtaut-re fr:ement and good
 manners, ought sedulously to avoid it.

 Ballot reform continues to grow in pop ularity. There are already eight States which have adopted ballot reform laws this year, making the total number of such laws to date twenty-one The newcomers are Washington, North and South Dakota, Ne braska, Oregon, West Virginia, Arkansas and Vermont. These are all desirable and thoroughgoing applications of the Austra- ian system, the greater number of them being modelled closely upon the Massachu- setts law
 In 1877 the Third national bank of Chicago failed for nearly s1 ,000, ,000. At meeting of the stockholders in that year, they were told by the receiver that the entire capital of s750, 900 and surplus of over $20O, ,OOO had been used up in paying the claims which were allowed after sus- pension. That was thirteen years ago. Judge of the changes which have since taken place when one day recently, at a meeting of the same stockholders, the re- ceiver announced that the stock was valued at $170 with no sellers, and that he had been offered S1,000,000 for two tracts of land near Jackson Park, which had been saved from the wreck of thir- teen years before, and had been thought nearly worthless at that time. It was not thought best to sell the land as other bids were expected of more money.

THE NEW HAVEN DIRECTORY FOR NURSES, 84 Church Street,

Is prepared to furnish competent nurses (male or female), for any case of sickness or accident, at moments notice.
 Nurses for future engagement may be here secured without danger of disappoint- ment at the time of need. Nurses sent from the Directory as Trained Nurses have not only their diploma from the Training School, but an experience in the sick room since leaving the Hospital wards As the value of Trained Nurses is better known and their services more ap- preciated, the demand steadily increases and is often greater than the supply. For this reason and in consideration of the fact that there are many whose means will not allow the expense of trained nurse, and many cases where the work to be done can be performed by person of good have on the register the names of many nurses of long experience who are willing and can afford to devote their time to the care of the sick at much less price than the services of trained nurse will com mand. Any Special Nurse desired by the physician or patient will always be found and sent if possible When no nurse is specified in the call the best nurse avail able for the case will always be sent. Time, expense and anxiety can be saved by securing nurses through the Directory Communications by letter, telegraph or | telephone will receive prompt attention.

The Evangellstis Meetings:

The two gospel addresses delivered by Mr..
Yatman In the Pine street church, to women,
were remarkable productions OF clear
thought and pure principles, showing the
duties Of wifehood and motherhood. The
divine character of hygienic laws was chaste-
ly and eloquently presented. The third ad-
dress will be delivered today at p. m.
The subject Of J. the sermon last evening
was "Hell." The audience was addressed as
jury, and the son Of God and the Bible and
the human conscience were summoned as
witnesses. The violation Of law and the re-
lection Of the offers of mercy. and the fixed
ness of character made so by the human will
constitute the basis of future punishment.
Men will themselves into punishment here,
and by their own wills make their destiny
for the hereafter.
The subject Of Mr.. Yatman's sermon to-
night will be, "The Pathway OF Life" Illus
trated. Next Sunday will close Mr.. Yat-
mans work in Portland.
