The Spelling of a Few Words.

We Americans like to assimilate ou1 words and to make them our own, while the British have rather fondness for foreign phrases. A London journalist recently held up to public obloquy as an ignorant Americanism" the word pro- gram, although he would have found it set down in Professor Skeat's ''Etymo logical Dictionary" Programme was taken from the French, so a recent writer reminds us, and in violation of analogy, seeing that, when it was i'm ported into English, we had already ana gram, cryptogram, diagram, epigram, etc." The logical form program is not common even in America, and British writers seem to prefer the French form as British speakers still give French pronunciation to charade, which in America has long since been accepted frankly as an English word. So we find MT. Andrew Lang, in his Angling Sketches" referring to the asphalte; surely in our language the word is either asphaltum or phalt.-Brander Matthews in Harpers.

Daring Young Creatun.

s'I sometimes wonder that any child ever lives to reach maturity" said P. c. Wright. "The saying that there is a special providence watching over chil- dren, drunken men and fools must be a truism. We hear much of the reckless ness of boys, but believe that girls take fully as many chances with the great hereafter. When my oldest daughter was five years old she did not climb hills nor ride wild horses, but she went bath ing in the Mississippi river and had n penchant for exploring old wells. When we travelled we had to label her so the police would know where to return her At seven years of age she mounted & rail way locomotive, during the temporary absence of the engineer and fireman, pulled open the throttle and sent it spin ming down the line at mile minute gait until the steam was exhausted.
 "At ten years she manufactured hot air balloon and attempted an ascent. but fortunately the flimsy airship was too small to bear her above the earth I believe that girls are naturally as in sensible to danger as their brothers, and, with proper culture, would make as good soldiers. ."--6t.

Warrants Out for the Arrest of the
 Homestead Advisory Board.
 PITTsRuRe, Oct 1.-The greatest sensa- tion in the Homestead mill trouble since the riot of July was sprung by the Car negie company officials. A veritable bomb was thrown into the camp of the strikers when Chief Justice Paxton, of the state supreme court, issued warrants for tho ar rest of all the members of the strikers ad- visory committee, charging them with treason against the commonwealth. This Is the first case of the kind ever known here.
 The men charged with treason are: Da- vid shannon, John McIsuekie, David Lynch, Thomas ]. Crawford, Hugh o'Don- nell, Harry Bayne, Elmer K. Rail, Isaac Byers, Henry Bayers, T. K. Brown, George Champers, Isaac Critchlow, Miller Colpan, John Coyle, Jack Clifford, Dennis Nj. Cush, William McCanegly, Michael Cummings, William Combs, John Dierken, Patrick Pagan, w. II. Catches, Matthew Harris, Reed Kennedy, John Miller, s. B. Searight, John Murray, H. H. Thompson, Martin Murray, Hugh Ross, William T. Roberts, George Rylands and George W. Sarver
 The information recites that on or about July the defendants, not weighing the duty of their allegiance to the laws of the NolihlOhNtttlhIt hhb Ni1kcaAY .h0hiknkHk and intending to excite insurrection, rebel lion and war against said commonwealth, did, at the borough of Homestead, unlaw- fully, maliciously, falsely and traitorously compass and intend to raise and levy war, nsurrection and rebellion against the commonwealth of Pennsylvania with a great multitude of persons, numbering hun dreds, armed and arrayed in awarlike man ner with guns and revolvers cannon, swords, knives, clubs. and other warlikc weapons and did array and dispose them selves against said commonwealth. and that its constitution, laws and authority were defied, resisted and subverted by the de- fendants and their armed allies, contrary to the duty, allegiance and fidelity of said defendants.
 The first five men to be arrested were Acting Chairman Crawford. Edward Beard, George Rylands, John Dierken and Brown. It is said that Pat Farrell, the chief of the Carnegie detectives, has over 160 more warrants, and they will be served as fast as the men can be located. The men were locked up in the guard tent at Nun hall and were later taken to Pittsburg, where they will have hearing. In no case were the warrants read to the men, who are indignant over the proceedings.

John Boyd Thacher Elected President of
 the League of Clubs.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The convention of the State League of Democratic Clubs at Chickering hall had much smaller at tendance than was anticipated, but the body made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers. Hon. William Sulzer, of New York, was made permanent chairman. He delivered a short address, in which he as sailed the manufacturers perverted sta tistics." The remainder of his speech was devoted to an attack on the elections bill An incidental reference to Senator Hill and his advice to "organiZe organize" elicited loud applause. The committee on platform then reported:
 The platform indorses the principles of the Democratic party and commends the tariff plank in the national platform in a few words, saying: We deem it unneces- sary to add anything further regarding the paramount issue, since no exposition of it can be so masterful as the admirable letter of acceptance of Grover Cleveland and the great Brooklyn speech of David B. Hill"
 Considerable space is devoted to the fed eral elections bill, which is denounced in unmeasured terms. The people of New York are warned that not the south, but every state in the Union is Involved in the issue, and an explanation is given of how an army of federal officials working under the provisions of the measure could thwart the will of the people in elections.
 The action of the national Republican committee in bringing David Martin from Philadelphia to this city is vigorously de- nounced and Martin described as a dis reputable rascal, a ruffiaH at the polls, a manipulator of ballot boxes and dispenser of corruption funds.
 The platform then denounces the extrav- agant administration of Benjamin Harri- son, indorses the administrations of Grover Cleveland, David B. Hill and Roswell P. Flower, charges the loss of the Worlds fair to New York to Republican tricks, and concludes thus:
 We heartily indorse the candidates nomi- mated and the principles announced by the Democratic national convention at Chicago, and we pledge the earnest support of this league to Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson. The platform submitted having been adopted unanimously, Charles E. Brown, president of the Young Mems Afro-Ameri- can league, spoke briefly The chairman then introduced Senator John J. Linson, | of Ulster coumy, who made long speech, Congressman Amos J. Cummings then made brief speech, which was loudly ap- plauded, in which he praised the young men for espousing the cause of the Demo | cratic party and denounced the federal | elections bill as vicious alike to the negro
 and the white man.
 The convention then proceeded to the election of officers for the ensuing year. \ Barrow s. Weeks placed the name of John \ Boyd Thacher, of Albany, in nomination as 1 president, and his election was made by ac- nafnstion. John H. v. Arnold was elected
