II suppose" said n man who was
looking in the dictionary, that many
of us arrive at mature years with
wrong impression OF certain words
There is. for instance. n word which I
wish could recall. but can't which
was in some way originally impressed
upon my mind with an added letter: IL
is a word that is comparatively in CON-
mon use. grew MP carrying that adj
ditional letter in the word and never
thinking but that / had It right.
| have no doubt that had
seen this word in print time
and again in ats correct form. bat
the absence there of the letter which I
had in the word in my mind had never
struck me. One day, however. IL did
strike me very plainly. and the word
then looked SO different from the one
TO which I was mentally accustomed,
that at first ! thought that il was mis-
spelled. as ! saw il in print, but very
quickly discovered that 10 was spelled
there correctly. ! remember now that
for some little time thereafter II halted
me whenever / encountered il, but II
soon ceased TO appear strange. and the
proof that it was right. as now saw
it, was so overwhelming that II m tis
me smile. l had no difficulty in erasing
from my mind the old spelling and sub
shutting the correct form
''An acquaintance tells me that for
years the impression upon his mind Of
the word ropugnant was repungant
He didn't discover that the word was
repugnant until he had occasion To
write 1T, and then at first he coald
scarcely believe that he had had IL
wrong for 50 long a time. The simple
explanation of his mistake was that he
had transposed the letters In hurried
reading
Another acquaintance tells me that
for some time in his youth he carried
the word dislocAte in his mind as dis
colate. He says that always il almost
seemed 10 him as though there was
something the matter with dlscolate,
and yet he thought IL must be all right
1t seems funny that he didn't look
in the dictionary That Il what he did
at last, and when he discovered his mis-
take he act the word in his mind. and
he tells me that it hasn't been out Of
joint since. IN. Y. Sun.

Whitman Is Declared Not
Guilty.
The Police Commissioners Dismiss
the Charge Against the Sergeant.
Testimony Discredited.

There was joy in the house of Sergeant
George Whitman last night and gloom lay
in the dwelling of Police Judge Conan.
The Commissioners declared Whitman in
nocent of the charge of bribe-t taking. which
had been made against him by the Judge.
Messrs. Tohn and Alvord, assisted by
Chief Crowley, dissected the evidence,
while Secretary Hall guarded the records
and Sergeant McKenna guarded the key
hole. The star chamber session had lasted
three hours when the door was thrown
open and the reporters were invited to en-
ter.
Slowly and solemnly Commissioner
Tobin announced the decision of the
board.
"We have carefully considered all the
testimony given before u.s." he said, "and
we have observed that the statements
made by the witnesses for the prosecution
came exclusively from disreputable people
under the control of John O'Hanlon and
those associated with him.
witnesses have appeared before the
commission who have been familiar with
the official conduct Of Sergeant Whitman
men who have known him during the
time he has been in the department. and
who have been in daily contact with him.
captain Douglass. Sergeant Harmon
and many business men testify to his good
character and his efficiency and upright
ness in the disch arge of his duty.
The Commissioners do not think that
the testimony offered by the prosecutio n
is worthy of credence AS against that pre-
ssented in his favor by those who have
known him so long and intimately, and
therefore the commission have decided to
dismiss the charge"
