THE COMMON GENDER.
Difficulties Occasiened by n Lac; Of Fem
ninity In Our Language.

Difficulties Occasiened by n Lack Of Femi-
ninity In Our Language.
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
cousin" says writer in New Peterson.
Nor can we desire such complete diff
ferentiation that would compel us to bs
strictly logical in giving the feminine
of "Michigander," or constrain us to
follow an example already set in refer
ence to woman's convention as "mov-
ing in the even soprano of their ways. -
This latter might be improved upon by
saying mezzo-soprano of her way. But,
joking aside, how are we to refer to the
presiding officer of an assembly Of
women? Win Mrs. President do? Or
shall we, in our rules of parliamentary
practice, suggest the chair? Perhaps
this would answer. But suppose the
chair appoints a committee, and in an
nouncing the members desires that
Mrs. A. should preside at the delibera-
tions of this committee, how shall
shall she indicate it? Shall she say:
81 appoint Mrs. A. chairman" or chair
woman? This latter bears too close q
resemblance to charwoman to be pop
ular, and, in the broad pronunciation
of some, might be mistaken for it.
Would it do to say chairmistress? If
not, what shall we advise? Again, we
are likely soon to see women on our
iuries, and 1t is more than probab bic that
one Of them would be selected to rem
der the verdict. In such an event con-
fusion might result, inasmuch as our
statutes prescribe the functions of the
foreman. Shall these states, as soon as
they admit women on the jury, revise
their statutes in this regard2 If so,
what change must be made-foreman or
forewonan? foreman or foremistress?

SEEKING SOLDIERS NAMES.
Vermont Veterans Compiling a State
Roll Of Honor.

Roll OF Honor.
The correct history of war, say
wise men, cannot be written until
years after the war has been ended.
We are only in the furnishing process
of the civil war in this country now.
Nearly every state is now engaged in
perfecting its list of soldiers who took
part in the conflict. Vermont is partic-
ularly active in this respect. The
Green Mountain state is never tired of
boasting of the large quota Of men it
furnished for the federal arny-larger,
believe, in proportion to its popula-
ton than any other state.
Adjt. Gen. T. S. Peck has charge Of
the state Roll of Honor" which Is now
being compiled. He has sent out the
following notice:
"AQ Vermonters who served with
the troops from the state of Vermont.
In the regular army and navy, United
States colored troops and in organiza-
tions from other states, or the relatives
and friends of deceased soldiers, are re-
quested to send the names, rank and or
ganizations in which they served, with
a short sketch Of their service, to the
adjutant generals Office at Burlington,
Vt, at their earliest opportunity, in
order that they may be notified of the
Vermont Roll OF Honor in process of
compilation, which will contain a Sc
ries of illustrated biographical sketches
of Vermonters who served as soldiers
and sailors in the civil war of 1s61-65,
and in which it Is desired to have the
record of every Vermonter who served
in the war of the rebellion"
Gen. Peck finds it almost impossible
TO get correct list Of Vermonters re-
siding outside of the state, but he hopes
in this way 20 receive many responses
to his request. OF course 1.-The roll OF
homer" of which he speaks, will be Of
the greatest interest to Vermont SOL
diers, their relatives and friends in fu-
ture years

SHE HOLDS THE LEVER.
A Woman to Run the First Worlds Fat
Train.

A Woman to Run the First Worlds Fatr
Train.
Miss Ida Hewitt, Of Cairo, W. Va +,
said to be the only female locomotive
engineer in the world, has been en-
gagged by the women commissioners Of
the worlds fair to run the first train
over the grounds on the opening day OF
the exhibition, and will leave for Chi
cago about q week before the day ap-
pointed for the opening.
Miss Hewitt has had an extensive
wardrobe prepared for her use during
the fair, one of her unique costumes be-
ing that of q Spanish girl of the four
teenth century, which she will wear
on the engine during her first trip. She
is brunette beauty, and the costume
suits her admirably.
In reply to proposition made to
Miss Hewitt to become member of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, it is reported that she replied
that while she could not find it in her
heart to become a brother to them she
would be sister as long as she lived.
The commissioners are said to have had
great deal of trouble inducing her to
run the engine at the fair, as she
shrank from appearing rs "a sort of
freak
The road upon which Miss Hewitt
learned her business and upon which
she is now running Is known as the
Cairo & Little Kanawha, and is feeder
for the Baltimore & Ohio at Cairo from
the lumber districts back in that vicin-
ity. 1t is mostly owned by the father
of the young lady, who is a man Of
prominence and wealth. The peculiar
employment that Miss Hewitt has Sc
lected has not unsexed her in the least,
and she is as much at home in the par
lors OF the most cultivated and fashion
able people as she is in the cab of her
favorite engine. She is also a model
housewife, and Is thoroughly up in all
the little details of housekeeping, at
which she occupies herself when ''off

THE PANAMA TRIAL,

PARIS, March 10-The Panama trial
was resumed today. NJ. Stephano, clerk for
NJ. Prosper, Baron de Reinach's partner,
testified concerning his experience with u
list of more than 100 conspicuous men,
who were compromised by the Panama
scandal. He received the list from Baron
de Reinach, aud, after the latter's death.
delivered it to NJ. Clemenceau.
NJ. Deschamps said that he had taken
Arton's list of compromised deputies to
Arton's mistress since the flight of the
lobbyist.
Charles Floquet, ex-premier and ex-
president of the chamber of deputies, was
the next witness. Before examining him
the judge had NJ. Charles de Lesseps re-
peat his testimony as to the contribution
of 500, coo francs made at NJ. Floquet's re-
quest to the fund for the campaign against
General Boulanger in the department Of
the Nord. NJ. Floquet replied at once, in
loud but natural tone:
81 repeat the denial already made by ME
before the examining magistrate. The
manner of acting and speaking attributed
to me by NJ. de Lesseps is entirely foreign
to my personality. AS NJ. de Lesseps puts
the matter, it was much worse than If
had brought pressure to bear on him, as
be claims everybody else did,.
de Reinach sent money to you as minister
in 1885," said NJ. de Lesseps.
II cont understand what you mean,"
replied NJ. Floquet.
A loud protest came from the court,
and several persons shouted. Tell the
truthr'
Both NJ. &c Lesseps and NJ. Floquet tried
to make statements, but neither could
be heard more than a few feet away. Each
denied fatty the truth of what the other
said.
NJ Clemenceau, the next witness, denied
that DR.. Herr had received some 6000 600
francs for the favor of La Justice toward
the company
NJ. de Freycinet, looking tired, followed
NJ Clemenceau. Il sent for Charles de
Lesseps," said he, sin the interest of the
republic. With the same interest at heart,
| advised him to avoid a lawsuit with
Baron de Reinach"
Asked about this statement, NJ. de Les
seps said: Il do not aud have not disputed
that M--ds Freycinet spoke to me in the
interest of the republic. II was in the
same interest that l gave Baron de
millions"

Fourth-Tbey invigorate the digestion
and cleanse the stomach and bowels.
Fifth-They stimulate the liver and
carry off vitiated bile and other depraved
