ABUSE OF LANGUAGE.
The Frequent and Very Incorrect Use of
the Word Iady.''

The Frequent and Very Incorrect Use of
the Word 60 Lady"
The following paragraph appeared this
week in well-conducted newSpaper-pPr-
haps in several: The Worthing magis-
trates yesterday committed for trial young
man named Sparkes. A lady visitor, hav-
ing purchased some whisky, went to seat
on the Marine Promenade to consume it.
While in a state of observation-disclosures
she was robbed of her purse and rings. The
mans arrest was the result of his visit to a
Brighton pawnbroker," says writer IN the
Saturday Review.
The reporter who wrote these lines would
have expressed himself less like reporter
if he had written bought aud drink
instead of purchase and consume"
But, then, he was a reporter, and his words
are not actually wrong. "Semi-uncoa-
sciousness" 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 intolerablP, and the time has
come to make a stand against the misuse of
the word which is so deplorably frequent
1t begins, of course, among women who are
not ladies, and the men OF their acquaInt-
ance who want to be civil. The first see
of it," said dilapidated female. who WAS
giving evidence in court not many years ago,
''was when this ere lady was lyin' in the
gutter, very drunk,-fghtin' with the other
lady" Civility is an excellent thing, but
true poiiteness should be independent of
gross misdescription.
The word lady has rather particularly
definite meaning. and meaning which it
is often necessary or expedient To convey
Its conveyance is impossible if the appro-
pirate word is commonly used to indicate
women who are not ladies as often as TO In
dicate women who are. The trick is, be-
cause of human ldleneSs, very easy to fail
into, and all persons who value accuracy of
language, or-what is perhaps still more i'm
portant-refinement and good manners
ought sedulnuSly to avoid it.

FIENDISH CRUELTY.
Tho Son of Rich Widow Inearcerated in

Tho Son of a Rich Widow Incarcerated in
Cellar for Years.
A report comes from the village of Neuen-
stadt, near Halle, of an unheard-of outrage,
which has been going on for the last six
years, says London dispatch TO the Chi
cago Herald. A man 30 years Of age, the
son of rich widow named Dorm, who was
supposed by his neighbors to have emf
grated to America, has been found by the
police in the cellar of his mothers home
stead, where he has been kept incareerated
for six years. On being brought into the
light of day he was found to be blind and
speechless and to nave lost the use of both
legs He was naked, his only covering be-
ing coarse and dirty horse blanket. The
mother, on being interrogated by the judical
authorities, has admitted having kept her
son imprisoned during this long period be-
cause her husband, by his will, left him a
larger slice of her property than to her fav-
orite son, his youngest brother.

the Forest, celebrated its third anniversary
by a reunion of all its presant and past as
sociates, on Thursday evening, the 9TH inst,
at B'nai Birth Hall. The affair was u
grand success both socially and financially.
The hall presented an animated appearance
and all those present enjoyed themselves
highly. The several committees deserve
credit for the successful manner in which
they performed their duties. This circle
has decided to give party on the fifth
Tuesday of each month, commencing with
the 3lst inst. The circle is rapidly growing
in membership and finances, and will at no
distant day be one of the banner Subordi-
mates of the order in this State.
Hon. William Pinkney, the Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States under President
Madison. and alterward Minister to the
Court OF Russia and United States Senator,
was one of the petitioners for charter for
Amanda Lodge, No. u, of Annapolis, Md,
and he was named in the charter as the first
Senior Warden of the lodge. Brother. the
Right Rev. William Pinkney, DID,, Bishop
of Maryland, was his nephew.
The newest idea for distribution of |. o.
o. L. lodge funds is that Of paying members
to serve on degree stalls 1t Is claimed that
paid officers Will insure cOrrespondingly
increased interest, and the excellence of the
work will induce desirable young men to be-
come members, thus otfsetting the outlay by
increased income. A lodge with over 150
members is in deplorable condition if
enough brothers will not bestow necessary
time to erfect themselves in the ritualistic
work and attend to the lodge whenever can
didates appear at the threshold. National

dramatist, was born In London in 1908, and

Lodge, No. 500. in November. 1881, and
afterwards affiliated with Concord Lodge,
No. 49, He was midshipman in the navy,
and afterwards apprentced TO a London
printer. While thus employed he wrote an
essay on the opera ' Der FreischutZ, which
he dropped into the editorial box of a news
paper on which he was employed as COM
positor. To his infinite delight his own
anonymous piece was handed over to him to
put in type, and shortly afterward there ap-
peared an editorial notice soliciting other
contributions from the unknown correspond
ent. Afterward his "Black-eyed Susan"
stamped him as the most popular dramatist
