THIS eternal question, whether the
United States are," or the "United

Boston papers are taking a hand in
the discussion. In a letter to the
Transcript the other day, Charles
Dudley Warner wrote: "The United
States of America is a nation, and
that is its name. If l were speaking
Of it as nation, 1 should say is-no
matter about the grammar. Speak
ing otherwise, I might say: The
United States are distinguished by
great variety OF production l should
then be thinking of the several
States, rather than of the political
nation" But, on the other hand, in
a letter to the Journal, Mr. S. G. B.
Tillinghast, of Medford, has the fol-
lowing patriotic communication:
concerning the United States is

A famous English actor once under

performance at Richmond; but as he
had to act the same evening in the
first piece at the Haymarket, as Lord
Fopling, he had not much time to
lose. He accordingly stepped from
the theater into a cab in his stage
attire and used the vehicle. on his
way to Waterloo Station, as a dresx
1ng-room, taking out OF his Garnet
bag the smock-frock and CATERS in
which he was to play his role later
on. He had not minute to spare
and, throwing his fare to the cabman,
was about to rush into the booking
office, when he found himself pinioned
from behind; the driver had got him
1ast. Let me go, you fool; l have
paid you sixpence more than your
fare already" Hang your sixpence,

BETTER late than never is a maxim
in which the Columbian Roller Chair
Company has at last seen wisdom,
and a sweeping reduction in rates has
been the result. Under the new tar
i'll persons OF moderate means can
afford to patronize the gospel char
lots" and marked increase in the
business Of the chair company is sure
to result. The reduction ranges from
33 to so per cent Trip tickets have
also been placed on sale, and the
whole plan indicates that the COM
pany means to recover, as far as pos
sible, the losses sustained by the ex-
cessive charges in the past. Under
the new order of things visitors to
the Fair will find it alike pleasant
and profitable to use the chairs in
stead of wearing themselves out by
making the tour of the buildings on
foot The change comes late, but is
none the less gratifying, and its wis.
dom is already apparent.
