Origin of the Word ..ou,,. -

The word quiz" which the d;c-
tionaries variously define MS ..to make
iun OF, "a riddle or puzzle.- s.to
play tricks upon, etc. was coined bv
the elder Sheridan when he was
lessee OF the old Grow theater, Dub
lin. While at drinking party with
number of his friends after the
close of the theater one Saturday
night. the subject turned upon the
Introduction of new words into the
language. Finally Sheridan offered
to wager dozen bottles of wine that
he could coin word that would be
IN everybody's mouth the next day.
The bet was taken. and when the
party dispersed Sheridan rang up the
call boys and gave each a dozen
pieces OF chalk He next ordered
each to spend the night writing the
word quiz" on every door, doorstep.

ising to each boy three shillings il
the work was found to be well exc
cuted by morning. These directions
were carried out to the letter; and.
rs a matter of course, the new word
was heard on every side the next day.
There was much speculation as to the
probable meaning of the four letters
so oddly put together. the more
timid of the population Interpreting
them as some revolutionary sign.
The true motive and the circumstan-
ces under which the word was coined
finally leaked out, since which time
1t has the meaning given in the open
ing.-St. Louis Republic.

The purpose was to form combina-

Plans were discussed looking to the Sc
lection of leader, and what might be
termed steering committee. Bills were
to be considered in caucus and passed
without debate in the house. Nothing
was, however, accomplished, because the
conflicting interests could not agree.
Some feeling has been expressed because
of the presence of councilmen at house

TO QUIET TITLES.

delegation of Socorro citizens,
header by Mr.. H. B. Hamilton, is in
the capital in the interest of bill of no
littleypublic interest. The court of pri-
vate land claims has confirmed the Socor-
70 and other community grants, but in
dividual property holders therein can not
secure perfect title because no person or
body is authorized to execute quit-claim
deeds to such individuals. The pending
bill authorizes town and city governments
to make such deeds, and in case any por-
tion of said confirmed community grants
are not held by private parties these town
or city corporations may sell the same
and use the proceeds for public school
purposes and for carrying on public i'm
provenents. Albuquerque and Santa Fe
should also take an interest in having this
measure become law.

Mr.. Montoya said to New MEXICAN
reporter that he did not know what dis
posal would he made of the SG2 900 o
direct tax paid back by the government
to this territory. The act at present

mines $17,5O0: Worlds fair $1,000; in
sane asylum $1,000; experimental sta
ton at Jan Juan $4,000, and deaf and
dumb school at Santa Fee $4,000. Moth
ing can be depended on, until the house,
council and the governor shall concur
in some act of law. "My opinion is that
this matter will not be settled until both
houses come to an agreement with the
governor. For my part, ! shall act in
conformity with the instructions of my

to comply with the will of my people,"
The Colorado Legislature is also trying

company. Says the Denver News: San

pany stated quietly yesterday that, al

thought the bill regulatingthat companys
affairs and reforming certain abuses,
should become law. He said of course
a Pullman lobby would be on hand at the

thing in annual passes and all that sort
of thing the bill would have a rocky road
to travel"
