The lynching OF a half-dozen negroes in
Tennessee on suspicion of incendiarism is
a crime which will emphasize the utter
ances of Miss Wells in England and here.
There is no possible excuse for such a
crime, because, IL there was evidence
nave been convicted in Tennessee. II there
was not sufficient evidence to convict. then
the lynchers are practically self-confessed
murderers- Again. as death is not the PEN

Conan Doyle, the novelist, in describing
some of his early literary experiences, says:
Fifty little cylinders OF manuscript did
I send out during eight years, which de-
scTibed irregular orbits among publishers.
and usually came back like paper BOOM
erangs to the place that they had started
from. Yet in time they all lodged some
where or other" If there were no other
reason why they failed to lodge, the fact
that they were cylinders is explanative
enough. The sight Of a rolled manuscript
creates a prejudice in the editorial mind
which is difficult TO overcome.

Let "Rv BE Retained.

The absolute self-complacency OF the
down-Easterner in regard to his peculiar
vernacular is a constant source of amaze
ment TO residents OF the West, most of
whom are frank enough to admit that GER
tain idioms of their own region are open TO
criticism. TIL New Englander and the
New Yorker are apt to have the most
serene confidence that their OWL speech is
of the purest English, and an equal in
ability to comprehend that any of their
~favorite expressions are provincialisms. An
example of this calm assurance Is dis
played by a writer in the New York Trib-
une, who discourses of provincialisms and
dialects and wonders why Westerners in
sist upon pronouncing "the ugly r" when
ever it ends a word. The writer adds: 1T
is a mark of early neglect that is almost
impossible to eradicate, for the reason that
those who use it are quite unconscious OF
the difference. This unfortunate habit is
unbappily spreading, and is not confined.
as formerly, 10 certain localities. but
threatens to become a general American
ISM" Where the writer gets his authority
for eliminating the terminal 'r' he does
not say, and, as a matter of fact, he has
none save usage in his own locality, which
by no means fixes a general law. He might
as easily undertake to prove that he is right
in his habit of adding an "r" to words
where it does not belong. or to justify the
ccckney's superfluous his as to show
that the ''r'' should be dropped simply be-
cause in his own careless speech be has
become accustomed to slurring it. "R" is
a character of respectable and honorable
origin, and there is no reason, save that
of a provincial sort. why it should be treat
ed with less consideration than the rest of
the alphabet. II it sounds queer" to New
Workers to hear Westerners pronounce the
letter plainly, it seems no less queer in the
vast region known as the West when
speakers ignore its existence. The use of
ii is so extended that 1t may be called not
only an 'Americanism," but an Anglicism,
being a legitimate feature of correct En-
glish speech. 1t may be remarked in this
connection that the verdict of many Guilt
waited travellers of unprejudiced mind is that
the purest English on this side of the At
lantic is spoken not in Boston. nor in New
York, nor on the Pacific coast, but in the
middle West.

There has been u prevalent notion that

on solid observation. II IL now pointed
out that the Romans and Carthapinians
used the African beast To good purpose,
and Mr. Il. l.. Sclater, of tho London
Geological society, declares that they
have had African elephants In their
gardens for more than twenty wears
and have found them quite ms intelli-
gent ms those OF the Asiatic species,
although perhaps not quite ns docilc.
a young male African now about four
teen years of age Is daily engaged dur
ing the summer months In carrying the
children and other visitors about tho
garden and there has never been IN
accident with him. Mr.. Sclater ex-
presses tho opinion that the African
elephant should DO preserved M the
proper beast OF burden To open up tho
trade routes In the interior OF tho Afri- |
can continent, and suggests that n
kheddah of Indian elephants and their
attendants be- transported 20 the east
African coast and that the Indian ele-
plants be set to work To capture and
tame their African brethren. IL il
