"rHs sFELLOWWEARs RUBBERs.
A New Slang Phrase for Which State Sem
ator Owens Stands Sponsor.

New Slang Phrase for Which State Sen.
ator Owens Stands Sponsor.
During recent discussion between
. newspaper man and State Senat tor
Owens, of Brooklyn, on the merits Of q
third person, the senator said: "Why.
that man is no good. He's not even
decent. The fellow wears rubbers"
The newspaper man was at loss to
understand the senator's meaning, but
not wishing to appear behind in the
slang of the day said nothing. The
next day he approached well-known
politician and asked him about it.
what does it mean when you speak
Of man as wearing rubbers?" he said.
"My boy said the politician, that
is the very latest slang expression. II
simply means that man is a sneak:
that, fguratively speaking, he ap-
proaches you with muffied feet. II you
go into any police museum in the coan-
t-y one of the things they'll show you
is the rubber shoe that the sneak thief
or the assassin uses It is an ordinary
tennis shoe with rubber sole and a
canvas upper. and the only reason il is
worn by crooks IS because il vives
them an opportunity to creep up be-
hind their victim without being heard -
Another new bit OF slang n He
doesn't cut any ice" 1t simply means
that he or she, whichever sex Is re-
ferred 70, plays no part Both Of these
expressions are almost brand new, and
the first, at least. is likely 20 become
much in vogue with people who like to
piece out their vocabulary with slang.

Australia is greatly perturbed over
the emigration movement in Paraguay.
The government of Paraguay has given
nearly five hundred thousand acres of
good land for settlement to Australian
colonists. or others of suitable stand
ing in means and character who join
them. and there is al expectation that
ten thousand persons may settle on ths
lands. All who go from old 20 new
Australia are teetotalers and have a
considerable amount saved, and ths
loss of \ few thousand men Of that
stamp is serious matter = South
Australia has, therefore, passed a vii
lage settlement act, under which those
who want to cultivate land are very
favorably dealt with. Then comes the
question whether the Australian land
is as good as that in Paraguay. and i.
is not. But there are DISADVANTAGES

IT BEATS THE RECORD.
Nothing Has Ever Equalled the Enthusiasm
of Western Republicans.

II have been through q number of
lively campaigns" said A. ]. Colborn,
jr., yesterday, who had just returned
from a speaking tour of Allegheny,
Beaver and Lawrence counties, "but
want to say that have never seen such
universal feeling of party enthusiasm
as is to be witnessed at the Republican
mass meetings in the strong Industrial
districts In and near Pittsburg. The
crowds that gather there are simply
enormous; and the spirit they manifest
makes me think that all estimates Of
General Hastings plurality next month
will be far exceeded by the reality.
Just one instance. The other day
they billed me to speak in an old skat-
ing rink In what Is known as the South
Side of Pittsburg. l was afraid there
would be a small attendance, as I was
the only speaker from a distance.
When the doors were opened, 5000 steel
and iron workers swarmed into the
building, and such cheering and APP
plauding you never heard In your life.
It wasn't so much my talk; that was
only ordinary. 1t was just simply the
vent of pent-up enthusiasm for the Re-
publican cause and OF dissatisfaction
with the way things have been going
since the Democrats took hold"
, Week after next, at the urgent solicit
tation of David Martin, Mr. Colborn
will go to Philadelphia and remain
there, delivering speeches nightly In the
different wards, until few days before
election. Mr.. Colborn has had invita-
tions from nearly every section Of the
state, Tut the promise made to David
Martin had priority.

SOUTH SIDE IN LINE.
Magnificent Meeting Held in Matters lii
on Alder Street

on Alder Street.
South Side Republicans last night at
tested their party fealty beyond all
question by the unanimous and enthu-
siastic reception given to the speakers
at the mass meeting in Matters hall, on
Alder street, The hall, although spa
cious, could not accommodate the num-
Der that sought access.
At 7.30 Germania band from the bal
cony opened the meeting with an over
ture. Charles Neuls was chairman
and Attorney John NJ. Harris was the
first speaker, He paid tribute to each
candidate.
Charles B. Kreim, of Philadelphia,
spoke after Mr.. Harris, and his remarks
in German were frequently applauded.
The drift of his talk was on the relative
effect of tariff and free trade.
The next speaker was Congressman j.
A. Scranton. Mr.. Scranton's speech was
ringing declaration of the policy of
protection. He greeted his hearers not
as Republicans, but as fellow-protec-
tionists. He said he was no calamity
howler, but could not pass blindly the
action of the party now in power. The
Democrats are rsponsible for idle mills
and suspended industries. Mr.. Scranton,
in conclusion, prophesied that the ma
jority for General Hastings would roll
up to 25O, 900 votes.
Candidate John r. Jones was the next
speaker introduced. He reviewed the
work of each aspirant for favor at the
hands of the Republican party; what
work each one had done to entitle him
to recognition. Mr.. Jones speech was
eloquent and we'll delivered. The con-
cluding speech was delivered by II.
A. Zimmerman.
About 800 citizens were present and an
| intense interest was taken in the
speeches. In the interims between the
speeches the occasion was enlivened
with strains by the Germania band.
