PLAIN WORDS WELL HANDLED.
The Secret of the Greatest Successes in
Literature.

The Secret of the Greatest Successes in
Literature.
Nothing is more astonishing in liter
allure than the meager variety of words
to be found in the productions of great
writers. The same words recur time
and again in shakespeare. His noblest
flights of fancy and his EEcst out
breaks of passion are expressed in
simple terms that are daily in use in
every intelligent American household.
Addison, prince of writer's of graceful
prose English, employs few words that
the average school child does not
understand and cannot define. The
simplicity of language in the Pilgrim S
Progress" is proverbial, yet it is suf
fcient to portray emotions ranging
from the agonies of remorse to tho
Taptures of the redeemed. The phrase
olOgy of Swift and Goldsmith, except
when technical subjects are under dis
cussion, is almost as limited The Bible
is largely repetition of few simple
words.
Mastery of language consists in the
proper arrangement of words rather
than in multiplicity of words. The
use of simple terms is evidence
of the highest art. 1t is the sole
way, indeed, as a rule, in which
the firmest and widest impressions can
be made. To attain such a command
of speech depends in large measure
upon the possession of imaginative
faculties Metaphor is frequently d
substitute, not only for large words,
but frequently for many words 1t
suggests rather than depicts, and from
ats peculiar measure makes necessary
the employment of terms that are read
1ly understood. 1t should not be for
gotten also that there are few pursuits
that demand varied voca bulary.
Many of the technical terms used bv a
lawyer are of little practical worth to
physician, or a merchant, and vice
versa. 1t is question: bic also if the
English language is not worse for the
multitude of unnecessary adjectives
that have crept into it from one source
or another. ''JuniuS'' looked upon adj
Jectives as if they were personal enc
mics. Macaulay used them under pro-
test There is a peculiar observation
of Thomas Hobbes-"Wordsa are wise
mems counters-they do but reckon by
them-but they are the money Of
fools. IN. y. Press.

Newspaper Advertlsing.

Emphatically this is an age both of
competition and of advertising, and in
the forward rush to success only the
shrewdest and best can be counted on
to win the great prizes Of commerce.
The merchant must have good goods,
and he mustn't hesitate to let people
know of them. A thousand avenues
are open for the exercise of his ingen-
uity.
He may send out hand bills; he may
hire sandwich men''-people who per-
arnbuiate the streets, their breasts and
back adorned with placards Of their
employers; he may decorate fences
and walls with posters, hang signs in
street cars, or fill the windows of his
shop with attractive displays, but if he
desires to get good value" for his
money, he will place his largest invest
ment in printers ink. Where any other
device attracts ten, the judiciously-
worded. neatly-arranged newspaper adj
vertisement will receive the attention
of 10e
Often the merchant who doesn't ad-
vertise has to close his doors and hand
his effects over to his creditors. Such
an experience is a rarity for the man
who combines the knowledge of what
to put in stock with the knowledge OF
how to make people aware that he has
for sale the things they want.
Judicious lfberalify is the best econ
ony in trade and honest wares, honest
ly advertised and honestly sold, bring
the dealer popular confidence, f1nancia
competence and personal content-Bos

May Yet be Called to Testify in
the CoughIin Case, Either in Per-

and Others are Convicted.

Chicago, Dec. 23-The Coughlin case
opened today with the testimony of
DR.. Jameson, who made an autopsy
on the body of DR.. Cronin, as to the
APPARENT cause of death.
The man who was yesterday arrest
ed for shouting out an offer to bride
the jury to acquit Coughlin was let off
with a severe reprimand this morning
as it appeared to have been a mere
foolish freak.
DR.. Jameson testified as to the ap-
parent cause of death wounds in the
heSd and neck. On cross-examina-
ton he admitted that decomposition
was SO far advanced it was impossi-
BILE to discover the effect of the blows
on the brain, and it was not impos-
sible that Cronin had died of poison.
It was gossiped around the court
room today that Michael Davitt, the
Irish leader, may yet figure in the trial,
either in person or by affidavit Ac-
cOrding to Mrs. Foy, the letter was
represented by Coughlin to have been
received from Davitt, containing the
sentence: Remove at all hazards, but
use your own discretion. Davitt will
be asked for a statement, under oath,
concerning the matter The plan now
proposed is to have him appear before
a magistrate in London and make affi-
davit that he never wrote a letter
advising the removal of Cronin or
any one else; he will also be asked for
an explanation concerning any letter
he may have written to America con-
tanning the sentence quoted above.

BRIGHT Budget FROM BERLIN.
Interesting Foreign Matters Briefed
for Busy Men.


Berlin, Dec 2S.-[Copyright, 1893. by
the Associated Press.l-The Liberal
and Radical papers are annoyed at
the conciliatory attitude adopted by the
chancellor and foreign secretary to-
wards the Agrarians and hope the day
is near at hand when Caprivi will take
up the glove and fight. The National
Zeituna suggests the Conservatives
could easily be made to feel their folly
IF Caprivi would fill the vacancies ex-
listing in the higher offices by Liberals.
The extreme methods of the Agrarlans,
however, appear to be defeating their
own ends and small farmers are desert
ing the recently formed Agrarian
league by hundreds. 1t is calculated
that nearly 10000 farmers, or almost
third of the whole membership, have
already seeded.
Underground work continues against
the Russian treaty; for a moment the
deliberations rest, but the Russian dele
gates remain here until they are re-
sumed after the new year. In spite of
the slow progress made, it is expect
ed an understanding will be reached.
New Years Day will, as usual, unite

forward to as prediction of the COM
ing political situation.
The debate in the English parliament
upon the Duke of SaXe-Coburg Gotha's
position seems likely to create dissat-
isfaction here.
| The Hamburger Nachrichten says the
position Of the duke was discussed in a
manner which cannot be passed over
without notice on the German side.
The duke became a sovereign of the
German federal prince, over whose
rights and duties no foreign parlia-
ment is entitled to deliver an opinion.
The incompatibility of such an occur
renee with the dignity and respect due
the German empire and its federal
princes, should form the subject of
discussion at an early sitting of the
reichstag. Severe measures are being
taken to stop the socialist propaganda
in schools and colleges, owing to the
revelation, through the report of Di-
rector Greifswald, of the gymnasium,
that numbers of students belonging to
the upper classes were connected with
the socialist party and in correspond
ence with the leaders.

sanpete Mt the Midwinter.

Sanpete will have something, if the
signs fail not, at the Midwinter fair
At the meeting of the county court last
Monday Joseph Taylor was appointed
a member of the bureau of information,
land $3.50 appropriated to aid in plac-
ing the resources of this county before
the world.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that Mr..
Taylor will spare no efforts to secure
all the information possible pertaining
to the industries and resources of San
pete county. No rich embellishments
of imaginary future possibilities, but a
true application to present develop
ments and indications. Let not one
portion of the county be sighted, but
wherever they may be found anything
that speaks of industrial enterprise,
business development or advantageous
resources, let it be properly and at
tractiveiy set forth.
With a proper presentation of San
|pete's claims for distinction among the
people who will attend the fair, there
is no reason why interest should not be
attracted to this great central Utah
county, and this from people of means
and enterprise, will surely result in
the developing of Sanpete county as to
make her claim for reliability and thrift
lucknow dged at home and abroad.
Let this work of presenting Sanpete
be careful, conscientious and complete.

afternoon. All the cabinet babies and
mothers in the city were present to
see the grand illumination. The tree
was attended by four men who assist
ed Mrs. Cleveland in distributing the
gifts. There was one for each child
in the cabinet circle and the children
nearly went wild over the beauties
of the tree. The president went.in for
a while to watch the fun and enjoy the
children's pleasure in the happy event.
In accordance with a. custom all the
executive departments Of the govern
ment were closed at noon today, so the

FATHER CoRRIGAN's STATEMENT.
The Differences That Brought About
the Collision.

Hoboken, N. j., Dec 23.-Father Cor
rigan, of the church of Our Lady Of
Grace, makes a statement of the diff
ferences between himself and Father
Favis, which brought the orders of
Satolli and Bishop Wigger into col
lision. Father Corrigan says the mat
ter is still in the hands of the apos-
tolic delegate and trusts it is the last
dying effort of a shameless conspiracy
that has been waged against him since
he wrote the little pamphlet which
Wigger condemned in 1883. That little
work found an echo in every American
heart. One of the first results was the
Baltimore council of 1884, anu the first
triumph was the establishment of a
papal delegation at Washington and of
the PRONUNCIATION Of the pope's liberal
policy on the relations OF the Catholic
to the public schools. Father CorTigan
denies he ever asked DR.. Favis to work
against Wigger, and Archbishop Cor
rigan. All he ever asked FaviS to do,
was to translate a few letters into
Italian.
