Dear Sir,
A few evenings ago, went to bed, (as

ed from my slumbers by the slamming OF o
window which had been left unfendered, and
in spite of my most earnest desire, | found 1t
utterly impossible to court sweet sleep after
this interruption. Without getting out of bod
therefore, I thought it might be profitable to
utilize the few remaining hours of the night
in making q sort Of resume of my studies, and
the apparent inconsistency in the orthography
OF certain English words arrested my thoughts.
The word honour" for example presented
Itself to my mind. This word is spelt by Eng
lish writers with the addition Of n "a to the
second syllable, while our American friends
omit the s'u' and write the word exactly after the
form of it's Latin root. 1t appears evident that
tho word in gu estion being a Latin derivative,
che American. form Of spelling it is the more
correct of the two; and yet there mvst be some
good reason for the presence OF the ~ IN
the English form Of spelling the. word.

A GOOD RECORD.
Successful Business Oaie eer of A. Cohen, tho

Successful Business Career of A. Cohen, the
We,l-Kaown Shoe Dealer.
There is probably no one doing business
in this city who has met with more sue
cess than A. Cohen, the well known boot
and shoe dealer.
Twenty years ago this month he
came to this city and commenced business
in modest way at the same location he
now occupies, and by his upright and
square dealing In all his transactions his
trade increased to such an extent that q
much larger store was found necessary.
Therefore about four years ago he COM
menced to tear down the old building that
had served him for II years, and in a short
space of time a handsome block was
erected. Today he occupies one OF the
best lighted, handsomest and most spa
cious shoe stores in New England.
Mr.. Cohen manufactures some of his
own goods, and his name Is familiar to all
and represents all that Is substantial, true
and reliable. He employs q force of
courteous clerks and his patronage 10 one
that he may well be proud Of.

CANT WORK TODAY"
John Cullen Dies Sud-
denly After Saying It.
THE CAUSE WAS APOPLExY.
Was About so Years Old and Worked
For Tailor Firth.

This morning about O'Clock John Cul
len arose from the floor of William
Firth's tailor shop where he had slept
during the night, lighted his pipe, and
after smoking few moments, said to Mr..
Firth:
81 can't work today"
He then went into an adjoining room
and lay down to take a nap. In few
moments he was In the sleep of death.
He passed quietly away without saying
word to anyone or without sign of
pain. He was dead several minutes before
those In the next room knew 1t.
William Firth's tailor shop is the
second story of No. IA East avenue. He
lives on the same floor and his shop is in
the front part.
Cullen was about SO years Of age and a
tinsmith by trade.
For many years he resided on "Bean
Hill" and had family OF six children,
three of whom, two boys and girl, work
at the Union Wadding Works.
About year ago Cuilen's wife died and
since that time he has lived with Mr..
Firth, they having known each other for
nearly forty years.
Yesterday Cullen worked for George
Thornley, of Providence. He came back
at supper time and ate as usual. He went
on an errand for Mrs. Firth and then said
he was going out to sec how he came out
on the Sullivan Corbett fight.
Mr.. Firth says IL was about S:30 when
Cullen went out and came back In about
twenty minutes. He said nothing, but
sat down In a chair leaned back and went
to sleep.
When Mr.. Firth was about to retire he
could not arouse Cullen so, with the
assistance of Mrs. Firth, laid him on the
floor and placed pillow under his head.
He was breathing heavily but Mr.. Firth
thought nothing OF it.
This morning his breathing was the
same and Mr.. Firth awoke him. After
saying he twas not going to work he
went In an adjoining room and laid down
on a couch. In about ten minutes Mr..
Firth noticed that his breat hing was easier
and going into the room found him Just
as he was dying, without word or sign
of any kind.
The police and Medical Examiner Kelii-
her were notified and arrived In few
moments. After an examination the
physician said death was due to apoplexy.
The body was removed to the morgue
In the ambulance.
II was learned that a brother of the
dead man works for Moran Bros, but il
now In Fall River. One of his sons called
at the morgue this forenoon and will have
the body removed.
