Now W ords In Our Language.

Few persons realize how slang has
worked its way into our language. The
words ''bosh," "gibberish,n and 'bam-
boozle" have almost a recognized place
in our vocabulary, while ''sturdom" Ia
PRISON., ''chive" Ia shout and coulter"
(asoveyeignl, which were brought in at
the same time by Persian and Danubian
gypsiss, seem most barbarous express
sions. This is only another example of
the Influence that may be expected by
the whim of few. 1t is the same sort OF
whim that dropped the words gall
want" ''tlabbergast," "gab, etc, from
elegant words and relegated them to
the realms of slang. These words have
strange appearance to-day, and yet
they can be found in the very best COM
pany among the most careful old Eng
glish writers. The rule works both
ways What is slang to-day may be
thoroughly proper tomorrow, and vice
versa.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

the top, as shown in Fig. 8, 1t requires
a larger number of posts, as they must
be set nearer together. Some animals
of smaller size, not seeing the wires,
sometimes attempt to pass under this
upper board, and thus become badly
lacerated, but this is rarely attempted.
The arrangement may be rendered
safer by placing the top board below

A Mock National Convention OF Students q

A Mock National Convention OF Students at
Little Washington Does 1t.
WASHINGTON, PA, May 13-[Special 1.-The
students of Washington and Jefferson Col
lese this afternoon and evening held a mock
Republican National Convention. Shortly
after noon the delegates from the different
States in the Union, which were represented
by the college classes, met in the Campus,
formed into procession and paraded the
principal streets, headed by band. In thsi
line were noticed several lady delegates ana

The convention was called to order in the
Opera House by the Hon. Galusha A Grow
va read bS on The fa
Clark, of New York. after which E. w. Mas
ley (Robert S. Calder). of Tennessee, was
elected Permanent Chairman. An effort
was then made to unseat several delegates
from Texas and Virginia on the grounds
that they were addicted to the use of strong
drink and were insane. The effort was un-
successful.
This evening the convention was called to
order at o'clock. The names of Blaine,
Harrison, Allison, Mckinley. Lincoln and
Depew were placed in nomination for Presi-
dent, and Goff and Rusk for Vice President.
During the period in which speeches in sup
port OF the different candidates were being
made, Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay 1T. G.
w. Gitfen), Hon. Christopher Magee (W. 5.
Burchfield), and Hon. Thomas C. Platt (J. j.
Clark). were hustling around among
the DELEGATES endeavoring to work
mp sentiment for their fayorites.
Great excitement occurred during the
session by the appearance of a number of
young ladies from the Female Seminary,
about whose neclzs were tied red Dandanna
handkerchiefs. This caused cheer from the
Democrats, who managed to pass the man
at the door. 1t would have hardly been safe

way.

Bill Slavin Meets a Cyclone and Gets .
Big Surprise
New York, May 13.-Bill Slavin, brother
of the famous Frank, undertook to whip n
colored pugilist last night and did not do it.
On the contrary, his opponent administered
sound thrashing to the Australian.
1t happened ut the Academy of Music,
where the Muldoon athletic variety COM
bfnation is stopping for the week. Bill, Sec
onded by Jack Sheehan, went up against
the "Cyclone." Slavin is ready with an AZ
fidavit that the name is not a misomer. The
Cyclone" whaneed him all over the stage
in the first round and toward the end OF it
caught him swinging blow in the stomach.
Slavin doubled up like the proverbial jack
turned around to Referee Muldoon as If to
quit and the "Cyclone" gave him n rouser
on the jaw. Strange as it may seem, this
blow actually brought Slavin back from
Queer street, and he fought back surpris-
ingly well.
In the second round the "Cyclone" pur-
sued his rushing tactics, and cut Slavin so
severely above the eye that he was fairly
bathed in the gore. Slavin kept peggfng
away at the negro's body, and did it so well
that the gentleman lost some of his vim.
This round was about even.
The Cyclone" had a little the best of the
last round. although Slavin, encouraged by
the spectators, forced the fighting. The
negro was fairly entitled to the bout, but
Muldoon's decision was: II do not want to
rob any man of his reputation, therefore l
call it q draw

The prospects are that the 100 men

ing the message will have many
long stretches of extremely muddy
road to contend with during the 1000 mile
ride, but this will add largely to the merit
of the performance, as one of the chief pur-
poses is, if possible, to make a record which
will far surpass the possibilities of horse
manship in actual military dispatch work.
General Miles is thoroughly interested in

THE GREAT HANDICAP.
Every Horse in the Race to BE Worked to
the Limit To-Day.

NEW YORK, May I3.-[SpecidL There were
O great many horses on the track of the
Brooklyn Jockey Club of the Gravesend to-
day. but few OF them were asked to work at
a racing pace as the course was very heavy
from the recent rains.
Superintendent Brush is an indefatigable
worker, and he says that if the sun shines
to-day and tomorrow the big race will be
decided over fast track. He is keeping the
harrows at work constantly turning over the
moist soil, and by this evening the
course will be in fair shape = fast
enough for the handicap candidates to
get their final work in. Every horse
engaged in the s25, 900 race will be worked at
racing speed, whether the track suits his
speed or not. as without it they would not
be in condition to stay the journey out.
Among those that will be asked the final
question will be Longstreet Raceland, Ban
quet. Judge Morrow, Pessara, Cassius, Re-
clare, Portchester Maidstone, Russell,

Priddy is also in fine condition and is just

body else Ii the Chicago man is the winner

ready to run anybody the distance and If.
Priddy wins his hackers will just be as ready
for another contest.
The race will start at $50 P. N. The
referee will be chosen on the grounds and
the track will be measured to-day. II the

Race With Priddy TODAY.

Race With Priddy To-Day.
Joseph Jordan, the Chicago pedestrian,
who is to run Peter Priddy three-mile race
at Recreation Park this afternoon, arrived
in the city last evening. The race is for $3.50

be one of tine most important events OF the

The Chicago ped was looking in tip-top

of being quite tough customer to tackle in

pearance, but is 1.-the and strong, and is re-
markably confident of victory. During q
conversation last evening he said that he
has never taken part in a three-mile race be-
fore, e,and has won one halfmile race and lost
one. He has been IN training ever since the
match was made, and he has evidently been
very faithful to duty.

good runner or else his hackers ut Chicago
would never think of sending him so far

purchasing ground for the location of a rifle

shooting has already been done. 1t ts pro-
