How the Term "Rore'' Came to Be So
Commonly Used.

How the Term "Rore"- Came to Be So
Commonly Used.
The first appearance of this preg-
nant monosyllable in literature occurs
in the letters of Lord Carlisle and of
Selwyn; but there it is used to express,
not a creature, but a state or condi-
ton induced by tedium. Thus. in 1857
Lord Carlisle writes: 81 inclose you
packet of letters which, if they are
French, the Lord deliver you from the
bore!' Thereafter, says the Nine
teenth Century, it became common as
a verb in the correspondence of the
eighteenth century, expressive, APP
parently, of the intolerable anguish
inflicted on their fellows by class of
men and women for whom, as yet, no
generic term had been devised; and in
that employment it has been admir-
ably explained of late in the new Eng
lish dictionary as ito weary by tedious
conversation; or simply by the failure
to be interesting
But the nineteenth century had not
long dawned before the want became
too pressing not to be supplied, and
writers began to apply the word
..bore" to the agent the tiresome or
uncongenial person; one who wearies
or worries.'' They did so timidly at
first, with due caveat of inverted COM
mas. but the term took on; it filed q
blank that had been felt for n hundred
years, and it had come into such com
mon use by the twenties that Byron
declared:
Society is now one polished horde
Formed of the mighty tribes--the Bores and
Bored.
Disraeli rashly attempted definition
in s'Vivian Gray THE true bore is
that man who thinks the world is only
interested in one subject, because he
himself can only comprehend one

Flood swept nradford.

BRADFORD, May 20.-The worst flood
in Bradford's history is rushing through
the Tuna valley today. Twenty streets
contiguous to the creek are inundated,
and hundreds of families are in the
swim. The east and west branches of
Tuna are both transformed into good
sized rivers. Below Foreman street, at
the confluence of the two streams, the
flood is quarter of a mile wide, and is
high enough to ruin all the carpets in
the houses on Hilton and other streets
In the lower part of the sixth ward.
Douglass dam is partly torn away.
Weaver's ice house is in ruins. The
North street bridge is gone, and several
railroad and street bridges are in danger.
The railroad people are holding down
their bridges with heavily-loaded cars.
In the sixth ward 20 families were
taken out of their houses in boats during
the night, and on Clarence, River and
Hilton streets corps of skiffs rescued
many more. Luckily there were no
fatalities. An 1S-month old baby fell
into the west branch this evening and
was swept away in the current. Thomas
Potter leaped into the creek, and after
desperate struggle saved the child. The
flood from the east branch covered the
territory over which run the Erie rail-
road tracks, the Western New York &
Pennsylvania tracks and those of the
Bradford, Bordell & Kinzua railway.
STREETS TURNED INTO RIVERS.
Webster street is navigable by boats.
Across Corydon to Newell avenue to
Main and then down Davis street, there
is a rushing body of deep water, and
skiffs ply from the Riddle house up and
down the streets. At the Henderson
house, on the ground floor, there is six
inches of water. Twenty business
houses on Main street, between Web
ster and the Erie railroad, are in still
worse condition. Sixty feet of the
ssBradford, Bordell & Kinzua track, Just
below the city's eastern line, has been
washed out the trains of that road come
over the Erie track from Limestone.
The fire alarm bell was sounded this
morning at 2 o'clock, and the firemen
