M. A. Lindsey of this city writes as
follows concerning the subject mention
ed in the headline: 1T is known to but
limited few that John Eliot, the IA
nous preacher, linguist and Indian
apostle was the author of the word
'mugwump. Eliot was noted for his
pathological scholarship and linguistic
talent and as the only white man who
acquired complete mastery of the AL
gonquin dialect, which was spoken in
his day by the Indians Of the Massachu-
sets Bay region. The word 'niugwump,
as it occurs In his translation of the
Bible, has meaning totally at variance
with our acceptation of the term, it be-
ing there used to designate great chief
or captain, such as Gideon, Joab and
others, and not as disgruntled parti-
san, as we apply it "
Since receiving the above have ia
ken the trouble to look the matter up
and find that Brother Lindsey is right
in every particular, In the Cambridge
edition of the Bible in question it APP
pears three times in Genesis and Samuel
of the Old Testament and in the eighth
chapter of Matthew. Each time it is
spelled "mugquomp. "--St. Louis. Re-

Mr.. Stein nominated Prof. James A.

that the city attorney would sustain
him.

Cigars and Their Prices,

Perhaps some smokers do not believe
it, but prices for precisely the same kind
of cigars vary widely. The writer
knows of one place where cigar is sold
for 35 CENTS while the same cigar may
be bought not far away for 25 cents
The man who sells the S5 cent cigar
would not believe this statement until
he was convinced at the cost Of box
Of cigers. He bet that the cigar in ques-
ton could not be obtained for 35 cents
at retail. The other man led him around
the corner to rival and proved that it
could DO bought for just that amount
Tho winner of tho bet was inaliciously
jceese, too, fer he proposed that the
loser buy the cigars in tho rival shop
since they would cost him 50 muct
moro in his own store. He came near
having fit at that. New York Trib-

ccsczs Why rTc- r-ns-riaSc TO tho Cznro-
wiz Was Postponed.

nc>sc=s Why rTc- r-a~rirSc to the Cznro-
witz Was Postponed.
Advices from St. Petersburg cay that
tho pcstpo.sca,ent Of the Inarriagc Of the
orcrowitz with Princess Alix Of Hesse,
which was to take place in OStober, has
created a sensation in Russia and been
tho subject of unfavorablo remarks in
imperial court circles. Tho wedding,
according to present plans, will be cele-
brated III January, but there seems to
DO q feeling despite denials, that the
marriage may not take place at all.
Many reasons for the postponenlent are
reported. Tho rumor that the emperor
of Germany and his relatives of DARN
stadt have entered protest since the
engagement against the acceptance by
tho princess of the Orthodox Greek faith
is declared to be without foundation, a.
that matter was discussed and fully ar
ranged before the official announcement
Of tho intended union was made. The
statements, too. that the delay is the
result Of the i'll health of the future en-
peror are declared to be untrue, as also
those relating to the physical condition
VI t@tC pAtAOtoos
But well informed Russian declares
that it is the general belief in court cir
cles that the postponement is due to the
opposition and dislike shown by the
princess herself for the Orthodox faith
since she began to receive instruction in
her new creed. One thing is certain
tho Russian court chaplain, Jaryscheff,
who was sent from st. Petersburg to
Darlnstadt to conduct the conversion"
Of the young woman, had to be recalled
and his place taken by priest less strict
and less Jealous.
Although the second church emissary
accomplished his purpose in way, he
did not do so with case or without quar-
rels with the princess, which produced
bad impression on the imperial Rus
sian family and caused great embarrnss-
ment to the priest.
The German emperor is said to be
much chagrined at the conduct Of the
young princess, as he was the ''mstri-
monial agent" who brought about the
engagement of the couple. Down deep in
his heart, however, he may have GER
tain admiration for the action of the
princess, as he detests in general con-
versions to the Greek church. This il
proved by his treatment of his sister.
the Duchess of Sparta and crown prin-
cess of Greece, to whom he has not
spoken since she renowned the faith of
her family for that of her husband. =

eRAssHoPpERs DESTROYING CROPS.

Swarms In Western New York Hanging
the Potato, Dat and Corn Fields.
Grasshoppers are proving great pest
and source Of annoyance and loss to
farmers in western New York. Reports
continue to come from nearly all coun-
ties of damage being done the crops by
them. In the eastern part of Livingston
county they are very numerous Last
year they visited that section about two
weeks later than this, but there were
not so many as there are this year,
They are now doing great damage to
potatoes, carrots, corn and all growing
crops.
Genesee and Wyoming counties also
report considerable havoc from the
grasshoppers. In the southwestern part
of the state they are also SO numerous
as to beget apprehension. In Allegnny
county they are doing great damage.
Since the hay has been cut they have
taken to the oats, buckwheat and other
grains, in many instances literally ruin
ing whole fields. Several farmers in
order to get better quality of STRAW,
are cutting their oats while yet green.
believing that II left to ripen the grass
hoppers will destroy them.
Potatoes, which are very extensively
raised in Allegany county, are also suf-
fering from their ravages, and efforts
are being made to protect the crop One
method which is being extensively used
is for number Of boys and men, with
flshpoles. to march abreast across the
fields, driving the pests before them.
The process is tedious and expensive
one, since, in order to effect any psrma-
nent good, 1t must be continued during
the whole day. Another drawback to it
is that it leads to many petty quarrels
between naghbors. When one drives
swarm of grasshoppers to an adjoining
farm, his neighbor is pretty sure to
drive them back, and unpleasantneea
usually follows. Democrat
