Origin of the Word Boss"

BOSS" or "to boss" WAS, according
to some philologists, originally iatre-
ducsd into the New World by Irish or
Scottish Immigrants, from the Gaelic
bos, the head. But this is erroneous.
The word 10 derived from the Dutch
settlers who first cslonized New Am
stsrdam, first called New York by the
English when the colony changed
masters by ceming into possession Of
the British Government. Baas in the
Dutch language signifies master, or
the foreman Of workshop. Perhaps
even the English-speaking population
of the States, if they had known that
"boss" was no other than Dutch for
master, might in their republican pride
have repudiated the word and invented
another.

Senator Pfener's Scheme.

Senator Ptetier has introduced in the
Senate the most remarkable bill of
this session, and that is saying great
deal. The bill is entitled a bill ITO
create fund for the payment Of pen
sions, TO provide work for unemployed
on great public improvements, to re-
move the strongest incentive to crime
among the poorer and vice among the
rich and 10 prevent tho influx OF i'm
migration to this country"
The Senator's plan is as follows: He
proposes an annual tax on all persons
who have property ever two millions
of dollars In value, the two millonalres
are to be taxed one per cent, and the
tax is 10 be graded up to IS per cent.
He is TO pay increased pensions out
of this fund to make great public i'm
provsMents, and pay all idle laborsrs
good prices for working on them, such
as canals, public buildings and i'm
provements Of rivers and hsrbors.
Thus by giving work to the poor crime
will decrease.
He proposes to stop immigration by
imposing head tax on each and every
immi grant coming 10 this land. Sem
ator Prefer calculates that the receipts
of this tax levy tor the first year would
be 81, 75O,OOO,O0O.

satisfactory, S5 per cent. or more of

The Famous Congressman From Texas
in Serious Trouble.
The Hon. Constantine Buckley Kilgore
of Texas has got him into hotter water than
ever he experienced before. says Wash
ington special to the Richmond Times. Be-
cause of his objections TO special pension
bills Mr.. Kilgore has had all sorts and con-
ditons of men, women and children call
upon him and demonstrate in various de-
grees of ire and woe. he has stood up
against all this very manfuliy. 1t is by no
means improbable. however, that he VIII
soon succumb.
There is after him Mrs. Sarah A. Ulrich-
Kelley of Pennsylvania. She is what Sen
atOr John Sherman would call "a widow
woman" She is also q poet and wants TO
be q penSioner. She is known the country
throughout as the Bard of Shanty Hill.
Her husband was sergeant IN Pennsyi l.
vania regiment during the late war. She
has been to Mr.. Kilgore and wept because
he has objected to the passage OF her bill;
The Pension Office has, by the way, SAID
that she is not entitled to pension.
She is not at all pretty. but that is
neither here nor there. for not even the
pretty ones have any effect upon the Hon.
Constantine Buckley when they plead be-
fore him. But she has come at him In an :
other and awful way. She has dropped INTO
poetry and dropped the poetry upon Kill
gore. She has published pamphlet in her
most poetic vein for pension. The PAM
phlet she has dedicated to Mr.. KilgOTe with
the compliments OF the author aud this

what is contained in the appeal poetical:

On the Western prairie is found what is
called the compass plant, which is OF great
value TO travellers. The long leaves at the
base of its stem are placed, not flat as in
plants generally, but In a vertical position,
and present their edges north and south
The peculiar propensity of the plant is at
tributed 10 the fact that both surfaces of its
leaves display an equal receptivity for light
(whereas the upper surfaces OF the leaves of
most plants are more sensitive to light than
the lower; the leaves thus assume verti-
cal position, and point north and south.
Travellers on dark nights are said TO feel
the edges of the leaves to ascertain the point
of the compass.

the skin of the back, where it was located
and cut out. The hospital physicians pro-
nOunced the wound Of very serious ma

fatally.
While McManus still lay on the operating
table Kelly arrived with WEIGH. When the
latter alighted on the sidewalk in front Of
the hospital McManus rushed at him, not
unlike an Infatuated bull lie Rrappled

Little and Kelly interfered. WEIGH was
laid out on sofa in the surgeons private
office. The elder Mem anus tried to force
his way into WEIGH. He cursed and raved
like maniac, and IL required three police
men to hold him back
An examination OF Welch's wounds
showed that he was also seriously and per-
haps MORALLY wounded. There was a deep
stab in the left side of his abdomen. There
were also many bruises on his head and
face, and his right ear was split and torn.
After treatment the wounded men were
placed on cots in separate rooms.
Asked for a statement of the encounter,
WEIGH said: after leaving Smiths saloon
/ entered my cart with Curran. AS l
started to drive away some one grabbed the
horse, while Con McManus yelled, Get out
OF there, you - AS he spoke he
dragged me from the cart and before /
struck the ground he plunged the knife into

did so the whole crowd had started TO kick
and beat me. After l fired tho gang re-
treated and | ran into the saloon. If the
policeman had not taken my pistol away
several others would now be stretched out
here"
Weleh then became so weak that the
doctors would not permit him to say any
thing more.
The McManus brothers give a decidedly
different version of the affair. Cornelius
said lie was standing on the street with
Frank when Weleh left the saloon and
entered his cart without any warning"
said he, "Welch drew his pistol and shot
me. He then started TO drive away but
crowd surrounded him and pulled him from
the cart. If he was stabbed / don't know
who did II. After the shooting five or six
men went after WEIGH, and l guess he
had not interfered"

about the affair, and greeted all reporters

said Curran. "McManus staggered back
and placed his hand on his breast. but l did
not think he was wounded. Welch was at
