LACKING IN ENGLISH.
But Little toaExpress the Femininity

.%z.. 10 d of Many Words.
!:'There really seems to be no hope
for words which we class as common
gender So that we shall perhaps for
ever hear our servants refer to their
lady friend or their gentleman coli
sin, - writes J. Howard Gore in the
February New Peterson. "Nor can
we desire such a complete diferentia-
ton that would compel us to be
strictly logical in giving the feminine OF
'Michigander,' or constrain us to fol-
low an example already set in refer
ring to woman's convention "mov-I
ing in the even soprano OF their
ways
''This latter might he improved up
on by saying mezzo-soprano of herway.
But, Joking aside, how are we to refer
to the presiding officer of an assem-
bly, OF women. Will Mrs. President
do? Or shall we, in our rules of par
liamentary practice, suggest The
Chair? Perhaps this would an
swer. But suppose the chair appoints
a committee, and, in announcing the
members, desires that Mrs. A. should
preside at the deliberations of this
committee; how shall she indicate it?
Shall she say I appoint Mrs. A. chair
man, or chairwoman? This latter
bears too close resemblance to
chairwoman to be popular, and, in
the broad pronunciation Of some,
might be mist aiken for it. Would it
do to say chair-mistress? If not,
what shall we adYise?
"Again, we are likely soon to see
women on our juries; and it is more
than probable that one OF them
would be selected to render the YER
dict. In such an event confusion
might result, inasmuch as our stat
utes prescribe the functions of the.
foreman. Shall these States, as soon
as they admit women on the jury, re-
wise their statutes in this regard? II
SO, what change must be made-fore-s
man or forewoman? foreman or fore
mistress? or what?

Willard, when asked this evening the
cause Of the extraordinary decline III
Northern Pacific to-day, said:
Il have no doubt that the decline in
stock was due to the committees re-
ports. I know no other reason for 1t.
The property is good and I think the
stock will rally all right from the shock.
I have at present no statement to make
It is understood, however, that the di-
rectors will issue Il full statement in a

A stakeholder opposed to Willard said:
ANY holder Of Northern Pacific who
sold out to-day must have done so in the
fear that the present management was
likely to continue in power and go on
mismanaging things On the other
