THE Journal did not particularly
distinguish itself by its treatment of
the leading local and State events OF
the week. One was the laying of the
corner stone of the Trenton Battle
Monument yesterday-an enterprise
which has engaged the services OF
New Jerseys most prominent and
and patriotic men during the past de-
cade, and in behalf of which not only
the State Legislature but the Con-
gress of the nation has zealously
worked; and the other was the initial
work in the building of the big
bridge that is to span the Hudson
one of the greatest engineering enter
prizes the world has ever seen, and
one which is destined to be crowned
with success.
Yet each of these great features OF
the public news of the day our enter
prising contemporary dismissed with
the briefest sort of paragraphs-not
enough, even, to tell the bare facts.
But such is journalistic enterprise
with chill on, and not even Furst
blanket handy.

"Boy" and "widow" in Ireland.

Nothing is more likely to perplex the
English visitor to Ireland than to find En-
glish words used there in a different
sense from that in which he has been ac-
customed all his life to use them. One of
the best known examples, perhaps, that
could be cited is the peculiar sense in
which the word hoy" is used, being in
fact, equivalent to the English "bachlor."
A young man is hoy" until he is
married, and though less widely, "girp'
is used ia similar way to denote SPINS
ter. To foreign" ear it sounds ludi-
crous to hear gray-haired man or woman
spoken of as a ''boy" or girl but to
one accustomed to the country the fuller
meaning is clear. If it is intended to con-
vey the idea of youth as a rule quite a
different expression is used-it will be a
"wee chap" "gosson." a lad" or, for
one more grown. "a lump of lad" is
the expressive designation. Equally
peculiar, but much more intelligibe. is
the Irish use of widow. Widow in Ire
land is not, as in England. feminine. 1t
is a word Of common gender and is sell
dom used by itself, the gender heing de-
noted by affixed "man" or woman" !"
thus "widow-man" and "widow-woman"
are of every day use.-London Tit-Bits

COLONEL ELLIOTT Fool SHEPARD
had a most amusing article in his
paper yesterday on the duty OF Re-
publicans to patronize only Republic
can papers. He is especially bitter
against ex-senator ingalls, and DIR.
Talmage because they contributed
articles or interviews to the New York
World The Colonel is, as usual, a
little hard to understand. just why
he should object to Republicans get
ting big opportunity to preach their
doctrines to Democratic ears, we can
not see. OF course we can understand
his anger at republicans buying dem
ocratic papers. He holds they should
keep their pennies for the Mail and
Express. But anybody except the
Colonel would think ingalls,
L. Co did rather sharp stroke OF
party work when they got a fair and
full statement of their party prin-
ciples before people who would other
wise never see them except as dis
torted by party spectacles.
Poor old Shepard. He is nothing
if not wrongheaded.

An entertainment for the benefit of the
French American Lay School will be
given at the West Hoboken Casino to-
morrow.
The title of the new and sturdy West
Hoboken political club is the "Palisade
Democratic Club" Every day that
posses gives to it strength and promise
of imposing influence. Although the cleo
tion of officers will not be held until a
week from Tuesday it is easy to prophesy
results. Mayor Chandless will undoubt-
edly have the honor of presiding over the
clubs welfare and Recorder Renbart
will be the clubs secretary. Everybody
who is anybvdy in town has joined .he

The cast of 1.-The Trip to Chinatown"
has been strengthened by Patrice, who
plays the part of Flirt, which was for
merly played by Ollie Archmere, who ran
away to Europe, and Miss Eleanor Bee
bee, who has been given the part played
by Lillian Barr, who was lately married
TO "a wealthy young Jersey City man.
Miss Beebee is well remembered mere for
her performance of Fiorella in the pro-
ductiou of ''The Brigands" by the Anna

Max Freeman has been dismissed from

The holiday season at the Casino is
generally one of the most prosperous
parts OF the year, and although the one
hundredth performance OF The Tyro-
lean" is near at hand, the opera is still
doing u paying business. Fred Solomon
has recovered from his attack of the grip,
and the cast is in good working trim over
again. The half-price rule for children
at matinees has met with favor, and
every matinee finds the house well Allied
with little folks. No positive date has
been set for the final performances OF
''The Tyrolean." but it will probably oc-
cur about the middle of next month. A
short season of "revivals' is ip contem-
platiop. The list includes "Nanop," !"
'.Gypsey Barren" "Der Fledermans" and
'The Brigands." and in addition there
will be given one or two other comic
operas that have met with success else
where. In all these operas Marie Temp
est will sing the prima donna role.

Weight of Paper Money.

How many of our readers have ever
thought of the weight of dollar bin?
One no doubt has heard it said that it
would be impossible for one man to carry
away with him one million dollars in
bills of one dollar denomination. The
facE was shown In the treasury at Wash
in gton the other day that through the
most delicate adjustment twenty-seven
new one-dollar notes weighed exactly as
much as y twenty-dollar gold piece. A
similar trial was made with old soiled
notes, and since these accumulate dirt
faster than they wear out. twenty-seven
If them weighed considerably more than
a double eagle. The actual weight of all
the paper money which the treasury sends
by express every year TO different parts
of the country is in the aggregate enor-
nous. Since July l 1t has dispatched
thirty-eight million dollars, nearly all of
it in small notes, to The south and west
for the purpose of moving the crops 1t
would take good many men to carry
that away in one-dollar notes.

The Chicago Fair Organ,

We are in receipt of No. of Vol
ume /. of the Exposition Graphic, an
illustrated publication which has
been heraIded with many flourishes
of trumpets as sort of official jour
nal of the Chicago Fair. 1t is a
cheap and nasty piece of vulgar taw-
dry commonplace. 1t would be a
disgrace to the Fair if it were pos
sible to drag that shady advertising
monstrosity any lower than it is in
the general estimation.
The reading matter is dry, mechan-
ical, and at the same time blatant. II
is extraordinary how Chicago man
ages to blend dullness with spread
eagleism, as it does. 1t is a unique
quality of the Chicago intellect.
The illustrations are the cheapest
kind of machine made affairs. A
tenth rate New York advertising
circular would have better ones. The
excellence of the paper on which they
are printed only serves to emphasize
their badness.
The publishers charge fifty cents q
copy for this precious production.
Taken on its merits and without re-
ference to the cost of production, il
would be dear at ten. 1t seems to US
to have one merit. 1t is a suitable
organ for the Fair, quite in keeping
with all the other features of that ex
traordinary hippodrome.
