THE TERM "YANKEE."

Various Theories Which Have Besa Ad.
vanced as to Its Origin.
The theories which have been sd-
vanced as to the origin of the name
Yankees are numerous. According to
Thierny, it was a corruption Of Jskin,
diminutive of John, which was
nickname given by the Dutch colo
nists of New York to their neighbors
in the Connecticut settlements.
In history of the American war
written by Dr. William Gordon and
published In 1859 was another theory.
DR.. Gordon said that IL was Q cant
word in Cambridge, Mass, as early a.
171S, used to denote especial excellence
as a Yankee good horse, Yankee
good cider, etc. He supposed that it
was originally byword in the college,
and being taken by the students into
parts Of the country gradually obtained
general currency in New England, and
at length came to be taken up in other
parts of the country and applied to
New Englanders as tern{ of slight re-
proach.
Aubury, an English writer, says that
it Is derived from Cherokee word
eankee-which nsignifies coward and
slave. This epithet was bestowed upon
the inhabitants of New England by
the Virginians for not assisting them
in a war with the Chlerokees. The
most probable theory, however, Is that
advanced by Mr.. Heck that
the Indians in endeav&ring to pro-
nounce the word English, or Anglais,
made it Yengees or Yangees and this
originated the term.

Water Level of Two Oceans.

When the Panama canal was frst
proposed. there was a great cry about
the dangers courted in opening up
such ''ditch," some extremists de-
claring that the ''lives of millions Of
human beings were at stake" This
general alarm was caused by the argu.
ment that the waters on the Pacific
side of the isthmus were hundreds Of
feet higher than wsre those ON the At
lantic side, and that the great rush Of
water TO even up the difference In the
level OF the two OCEANS would drown
all Southern America and most of
Mexico and Yucataii. Would-be en-
gineers and sensational editors passed
their opinions or w4ots editorials on
the subject. It now, tanspires, as :
result Of actual surveip. that the Allan.
tic and not the PacifA. is the higher OF
the two oceans, and that in place Of
the difference being hundreds Of feet,
as had been affirmed. the surface oi
the water on the east side of the 18th,
mus is exactly six sndi one-hslf fes(
higher than 1t is ON the western aide.

LONGEVITY or MAN.
People who Have Attained 20 Remari
able Old Ago.

People who Have Attained TO Rsmark-
able Old Age.
It was Prof. Hufeland's opinion that
the limit of possible human life may
be set at two hundred years--this ON
the general principle, says the St
Louis Republic, that the life of nearly
all living creatures is eight times the
years, months or weeks Of its period
of growth. That which quickly comes
to maturity quickly perishes, and the
earlier complete development II
reached the sooner bodily decay en-
sues. More women reach old age than
men, but more men attain remarkable
longevity than women.
Horned animals are shorter lived
than those without horns, fierce longer
than timid, and amphibious creatures
longer than those which inhabit the
air. The pike will continue to live for
one hundred and fifty or one hundred
and seventy-fve years, and the COM
mon turtle is good for at least . cen.
tury. Passing up the scale of life to
man and skipping the patriarchs we
find many recorded instances of ex-
traordinary longevity.
The ancient Egyptians lived three
times as long as the modern lotus eat
ers. Instances of surprising and
authentic longevity among the classic
Greeks and Romans are not at all rare.
Pliny notes the fact that in the reign
of Emperor Vespasian (7S A. d.
there were 1874 men living in q limited
area on the River Po who were 100
years old and upward. Three Of these
were 14O and seven others over 100.
Cicero's wife lived to be 10S, and tho
Roman actress Luceja played in pull :

Lamplighter Sets the Pace Until the
stretch Is Reached, When the Nom
tana Horse Goes to the Front.

New YORK. Sept. 29.-Over 1900 peo.
pie went to Guttenbnrg today to see the
match race between Tammany and
Lamplighter, the great three year old
racers OF the year. The purse was 5000
and side bet Of $500. The horses
were in the best form. and the track as
fast as anyin America. Lamlighter was
ridden by Taral and Tammany by Gar
rison. Lamplighter led by length and
half all the way till the turn of the
oval, less than half mile from home,
was reached. There Garrison moved
Tammany up until his head was at
Lamplighter's tail.
Taral did not urge his colt until the
stretch was entered. and he saw Garri-
son after him in dead earnest. Swinging
ing around the wide turn Garrison began
to move faster. Within ten lengths
Tammany was head and head with his
rivol. Taral used spur and whip. but it
was no use. Garrison also cut Tammany
ruthlessly, though there was no occasion
to do so Marcus Days great colt went
to the front easily. and finished three
lengths ahead Of Lamplighter.
Enthusiasm was not SO great as it
would have been had Lamplighter won.
although Garrison was carried to the
jockeys room on floral horseshoe by
his admirers. Tammany clearly proved
his superiority over Lamplighter in the
race.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-Po!ice Officer
Heller had violent struggle today with
an Insane man who in some mysterious
manner got into the White House and
was looking for President Cleveland,
The appearance Of the officer probably
saved the President from assault.
How the fellow got inside the building
no one knows. He was not seen to enter
the front or rear doors. He appeared in
the hall on the lower floor as suddenly
as though he had come through the cell

just then Policeman Heller appeared

wanted. He saw at glance the man
was not altogether right.

told the mysterious visitor; come with
me and we will find him.
The policeman Immediately started
toward the door. The intruder. think.
ing he was gong to meet the President,
followed, but the officer said that he
would land MIN at the watch box in a
few minutes. They appeared at the lit
tie watch box. where policeman was on
duty. Before he knew what was going
on the prisoner grabbed Helers black
jack from his pocket, evidently thinking
he was getting pistol. He tried to use
the black jack on the officers. but they
grabbed him and struggled. 1t lasted
but few minutes before the man was
oyerpowered at the station. The crank
gave the name of Joseph Washington.
He refused to tell where he lived. No
one at the station remembers ever hav-
ing seen him before. When asked what
he wanted at the White House he re-

a PHILADELPHIA OFFER.
Manufacturers Want to Form "a silver
Tariff Combination.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 29.-One hun
dred and fifty leading manufacturers of
this city, headed by Wharton, the bank.
er and well known financier, have drawn
up aud signed proposition offering the
silver senators aid in their fight against
the repeal of the silver purchase law.
provided the latter will combine to pre-
vent any tariff legislation. As over one
half the manufacturers who signed the
paper are Republicans and this COM
munity has favored repeal, this new
movement has created a sensation in
business circles. The circular contains
these three propositions to the silver
senators:
Il. That the United States shall ad-
nit silver bullion frop American mines
to coinage in its mints upon the pay
ment by the owner OF seniorage ab-
sorbing three-fourths Of the difference
between the London price of bullion and
it's value when coincide
80. That foreign bullion shall be ad-
mitted only for coinage purposes at a
seniorage absorbing all OF the difference
between the London price and it's value
when coined.
%. That the United States shall in
vite at once conference Of those nations
of the world which have not committed
themselves to gold mono -metallism. This
would include especially the nations of
North and South America, Japan and
in Europe, France, Russia and others.
These nations are as deeply interested as
We in resisting the attempt to increase
the power of gold through the degreda-
tion Of the power of silver. and many Of
them, particularly those Of America and
Eastern Asia, are those to whom we may
most easily and adyantageously sell the
excess Of our manufacturing industries.
Such a conference should exclude Eng.
land and Germany. 1t is the conclusion
that without them it would direct the
money policy Of the world, preserve the
integrity Of bi-metallism and prevent
the enslavement Of the United States
and others by the capitalist classes of
the two great creditor nations"
