AN ANARCHIST EDITOR RELEASED
He Served n Term of Eighteen Months
for lnciting TO Murder.

David John Nicoll. formerly editor Of the
CommonweaL anarchist paper, who was
sentenced on May 6. 1892 to eighteen months
Imprisonment for melting to murder, was
yesterday released from the Chelmsford
prison. England, where he had served his
sentence.
At the time Of his conviction the anar-
chists expressed deep Indignation, and mass
meetings were held to protest against the
injustice Of his sentence, which, 1t was
claimed. was due to police conspiracy.
When he was released yesterday morning
there was no one except his wife at the
prison to meet him. Together they proceed
ed to London. mass meeting of anar-
chists will be held tomorrow to welcome
him. All the leading London anarchists
will be present
Quite large crowd gathered In the stree:s
outside the station at London and cheered
loudly when Nicoll and his wife, accom-
panied by their friends, appeared. Finally
the crowd began to sing the "Marseillaise, -
whereupon the police attempted to disper se
tie mon. The anarchists and their syrnDa-
thizers refused to dispense. The usual
police methods failing to clear the streets
the police procured a number of cabs end
drove them headlong into the crowd, which
then scattered in every direction Nicoll.
his wife and a few others, to escape being
trampled upon by the horses or run ever
by the cabs. took refuge in an omnibus ana
rode off. In a few minutes order was
restored.

CAPT. TOMBSTONE CRITICISED.
Report of the British Admiralty %
the Victoria Disaster.

The minutes of the British admiralty In
the Nictoria-Camperdown court-martial con-
firm the findings of the court. Capt. Charles
tombstone of the Camperdown is criticised
somewhat severely by the admiralty. The
report closes thus:
THE Victoria capsized owing to her
water-tight doors not being closed. Other
wise she would have remained afoat and
reached port under her own steam The
general structure did not by any fault in
principle contribute TO her loss. Regula-
tons will be issued TO the fleet, which, while
maintaining the responsibility and discre-
tionary powers of the commanders, VIII
insure under special circumstances, espe-
cially when a collision is possible. that the
water-tight doors and matches shall be
closed as far as possible. and that men
shall be stationed at those necessarily kept
open"
The minutes express the regret Of the ad-
miralty that Capt. tombstone did not show
promptitude of decision in executing orders
and in avoiding n collision. Special atten-
ton Is directed to his failure to order at
once extreme helm and full speed astern.

Chrisman suit. which has been in progress
at Harrisburg for several months. Madame
Decca had been charged In her husband s
testimony with having consumed much

His evidence showed her to have been very

Gov. Markham OF California is beginning
to receive responses to his invitation to the

The rooms were dcckcd with cXtraor-

the effect produced by the patriarch's

Among the guests were twelve gen
tlemen in fancy marine costume OF
green satin with red lining, wearing
caps of the same colors, and each ac-
companied by ladies dressed in white.
This repast also lasted four hours,

entertainers of the day. 1t ended with
the cutting up of certain large pies,
from which live birds flew out into the
room. The guests strove with each

At another time the same monarch

The Venetians were nightly pleased

OLD VIRGINIA HOSPITALITY.

the uoU2C May Be Countless, But the
welcome Is None the Less Hearty.
On bright summer morning early in
the eighties, with my father, left Ber-
ryv;llc, in Clarke county, and drove east
across the Shenandoah river, up the
road to Smokers Gap, in the Blue
Ridge, says n writer in the Richmond
Dispatch. There we turned south to
visit point where shooting affair had
occurred, in which my father was in
tercSted as an attorney. On account of
the many winding roads we became
lost and drove beyond the place we ex-
pected to reach. In short time, how
ever, we heard n rooster growing, and,
going short distance, saw mountain
farm. We drove in and were greeted
by an old gentleman who was at least
four score and two. His home was a
simple one, but the right royal welcome
that he gave us was as cheering as "a
rock in weary land" and as free from
deception as dross is foreign to tenn
pered steel. The patriot was n great
admirer of "Old Hickory" and had
strong views about the affairs of the
day. There hung his trusty rifle over
the door, and everything showed sign
of rural independence. A large dagger
was sticking between the upper floor
and one of the joists. 81 had that

NEW NOMENCLATURE.
Work of the United states Board on
Geographic Names.

W
Geographic Names.
The United States board on geograph
ic names has made its report, and if its
spelling Of the names of familiar local
tiles near Detroit and Michigan is fair
example, those who were educated in
the grammar schools of this city may
expect to have their knowledge turned
endwise into useless incumbrance,
says the Detroit Free Press.
Crosse Pointc is now Grosscpoint; st.
Mary's river drops the apOstrophc, like
wise Sackctt's Ilarbor and all other
names in which the apostrophe has
hitherto been used; Conucr's Creek is
now Corners Creek Flat; Boone, in
Wexford county, is spelled Boon; the
Duck islands are now known as Duck
island; Greene drops the Sc"
The board says spelling and pronunci-
alton that is sanctioned by local usage
should be adopted, and then proceeds
to do just the opposite. 1t lays down
the following rules:
at is desirable TO avoid the use of
the words city and town as parts of
names.
"In the case of names consisting of
more than one word, it is desirable to
combine them into one word.
THE use of hyphens in connecting
parts of names should be discontinued.
Names ending in borough should
be abbreviated to 'boro.'
"In names ending in 'burgh, the final
IN should be dropped.
"The possessive form should be avoid
ed whenever it can be done without de-
stroying the euphony of the name or
changing its descriptive application"
But Uncle Sam and his employees are
the only ones who will pay anyattention
to this sort of word and letter juggling,
for the changes are to appear only in
government publications. The board
was composed of ten men, graduates of
West Point and Annapolis, and they
have rugged up list of changes in
nomenclature that will astonish every
body and hurt nobody.
