LACKING IN ENGLISH.
But Little to- Express the FemInInity
of Many Words.

But Little to- Express the FemInInity
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 cou-
sin, " writes ]. Howard Gore in the
February New Peterson. "Nor can
we desire such complete differentia-
tion 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-
ing in the even soprano of their
ways
This latter might be improved up.
on by saying gmezzo-soprano of fherway.
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 q resemblance to
chairwoman to be popular, and, in
the broad pronunciation OF some,
might be mistaken 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 ver-
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? IL
so, what change must be made-fore-
man or forewoman? foreman or fore
mistress? or what?

making it an offense to permit dos

shonld be attached to the dog, Gen.

DEADLY LAUDANUN.
Four Ounces of 1t Ends the Life Of
F. P. Grogan.
An Eccentric Man, Who Seems to
Have Concluded Life Is Not
Worth Living.

F. P. Grogan, a man about 60 years of
age, died last night at the residence of
George Bronner, 1925 L street, from the
effects of laudanum, presumably taken
with suicidal intent.
Grogan had been acting in an eccentric
manner for some time and on Tuesday
told lady at the house that he would
commit suicide.
She talked him out of the notion. at the
same time not placing much confidence
in what he said, as she thought that he
was merely temporarily out of humor.
Yesterday he borrowed some money of
person at the house, saying he wanted
it to purchase some medicine, and he
went down town, returning about 10
O'Clock in the forenoon. He told the
houss eeper that he was not feeling well,
and would go to his room, and that he
would not want any dinner.
About two hours later some one
heard heavy groans coming from his
room, and when the door was opened
Grogan was found to be in great pain and
suffering, but il was some time before it
was suspected or discovered that be had
taken laudanum.
AS soon as the discovery was made the
City Physician, Dr. y. Is. NlchOIS, was
summoned. He at once comprehended
the case, and endeavored by prompt ap-
plication of antidotes and other methods
10 save the mans life. He arrived too
late, however, for although he worked
with Grogan for several hours it was
without avail, and he died about $3.50
o'clock last night.
1t was ascertained that he took fully
four ounces of laudanum, and when DR..
Nichols raaphaI him he saw that tbara
was but very slight possibility of his
being able to save his life, yet he spared
no efforts to do so.
Grogan was employed at various places
as gardener, latterly at the State Print
ing Office, and is said to have had plenty
of means.
On the 10Th of April last he was arrested
on a charge of striking Mrs. NJ. G. Kent
with a cane, and was convicted and fined
$50 therefor. 1t is evident that for some
time past he had not been fully RESPONSE
BILE for his acts.

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The shipment
of gold from London to New York, news
Of which was received this morning, is
looked upon as showing that the tide in
gold exports has turned. For the past
three weeks no gold has been exported.
AS a consequence, the Treasury Depart
ment has been gaining gold during that
period, the net balance to-day standing
at S94, ,050, $40. In the building up of this
gold the Treasury Department redeemed
nearly S6,000,0OO of gold certificates, the
amount outstanding to-day being $685.
070,000, against S104, 100000 on the 1st of
June. While the receipts and expend-
itures of the Treasury Department were
kept about even during the month, it
was stated that the balance to-day was
SIG, ,420, ,4I5, S12, ,253, 600 in subsidiary silver
and minor coin and Sl1, ,92l, 200 in national
bank repositories. The statement shows
that the Treasury is provided with good
working currency balance, so much SO,
indeed, that it is probable, though as yet
not determined, to anticipate the quar-
terly interest due on July 1st on United
States 4-per-cent. bonds and Pacific Rail-
road bonds, and pay this interest next
week. This would release S7.OO0,OO now
in the Treasury and put like amount in
active circulation in the business centers
OF the country.
