THE IRONS NOT.
The Firemsn Havs Looked Upon False Alarm
Matter Very Seriously.

Not for many months has so much inter.
est been stirred regarding any matter as ha.
been regarding the ringing in of the false
fire alarm the other morning. Many stor.
les have been floating which when invest.
gated have proven false, yet every little
mystery usually requires time for solution.
People talk about it every day and be.
lieve that the miscreants will be discovered.
It is said that there is woman living neal
the b (, from which the alarm was rung in
,ha, says she will give her testimony in
court when arrests are made. No'one has
called upon any Of the families living near
the corner of Sewali and Capital streets to
ascertain if the carriage was seen about
this place at the time the alarm was rupP
in. -. t43 III s41t# cn
Areport was circulated quite freely, yes
terday, that the matter had been settled and
two young men had paid $50 each,
but when JOURNAL man called
upon Judge Andrews, last evening, be
said that no one had made any settlement
with him and rs far as he knew the matter
remained the same. City Solicitor Little
knew nothing of settlement, but said the
matter is being pushed. Marshal Bean
said the settlement gossip YVES as empty as
a stovepipe. 1t is more difficult thing
than many suppose to obtain any strictly
reliable information, as the trouble occurred
at a very late hour Of the night, 1890.
Very soon aftor the horses ran away that
morning, two fremen took team and fol-
lowed the turnout that young Breen had
seen driving 80 fast toward
Hallowell, as the alarm was
ringing 1t was traced down the new Hal.

to Water street, back up the regular Halo.
we'll road to the Augusta driving park,
from there to Chapel street, down to State,
then to Grove and from there to Cony's
stable where the hostler refused to tell
Engineer Kicker who had the team out that
they had been hunting after. This track in
front of the stable showed that the horse
had not stopped, thus indicating that the
door was either open or had been opened
before the team reached the stable.
The firemen felt very indignant over the
matter and hope that something may be
done today. A JOURNAL man was told by
ing, that Engineer Kicker has done all be
can do, and the matter now remains for the
authorities to make the arrests. In answer
to question the reporter was told that it
was likely that the guilty ones would be
brought to justice today.

One of the medical journals re-
cords the observations Of a physician,
who has been invest eating with
great minuteness and accuracy the
effects Of smoking on boys. He took
for this purpose thirty eight boys
from nine to fifteen years, and care
fully examined them. In twenty
seven of the number be discovered
injurious traces OF the habit. In
twenty-five there were various dis
orders OF the circulation and diges-
tion, palpitatiOn OF the heart, and a
more or less taste for strong drink.
In twelve Of the cases there occurred
frequent bleeding Of the nose, ten
had disturbed sleep. and twelve had
slight alterations OF the mucous MEM
brane Of the mouth, which disappear
ed on ceasing the use OF tobacco for
some days. The Doctor treated them
all for weakness. but with little
effect, until the smoking was dis
continued, when health and strength
were soon restored.

PRIMITIVE GRAMMAR.
How Syntax Appears When 1t Is Reduced
to Its Simplest Elements

How Syntax Appears When 1t Is Reduced
to Its Simplest Elements.
. Everybody knows the story Of the
Englishman who, dining with man
DARN, desired to know what meat he
was eating. He pointed to the dish
and said interrogatively: "Quack-
quack?" His host shook his head
and answered with the politest Of
smiles: "Bow-wow And there, says
Longman's Magazine, you have the
language in its simplest elements.
AS yet, however, it possesses no
syntax, no order, no formative prin-
ciples Now push the thing one stage
further. Let US make verb, to eat.
The simplest way Of doing this is to
initiate the sound Of teeth in grind
ing-especially in grinding hard
grain, like corn, or coarse roots and
foodstuffs. Ny'm, ny'm, ny'm, or
nyum, nyum, nyum, is about as
near as we can get to it in ordinary
letters. (The italian gn'm, gn'm, or
the Spanish nm, nm, would repre-
sent 1t more accurately Hence,
nyum-nyum is a common symbol for
stO eat" with savages.
Now ask with an interrOgative in
flection Of voice, "Nyum-nyum quack-
quack?" and that means, Am [ eat
ing duck?" The answer comes with
a shake Of the head, "Nyum- nyum
bow-wow." and that means, "Oh,
dear, no; it is dog you are eating. :"
True, the grammatical elements of
first and second person are her sup
pressed, but so they are in many
primitive languages, and 50 they are
even in the negro dialects Of French
and English. lenses and persons are
frequently lost. "Him gwine town"
means "He is going to town" in negro
English. Him eat" means "He is
eating" Him eat yesterday" means
"He ate," and so on generally. 81
have eaten" becomes in Creole French
;GMoi finn mango" that is to say,
AJ'ai fni manger." "Rich nigger,
him mulatto; poor mulattO, him mig
ger" gives the simple grammar Of
negro English; in Creole French
where iii" means "lui," it comes out
in the precisely analogous form.
Negue richie, Ii mulatte; mulatte
pauvre, Ii negue" That is grammar
reduced to it's simplest elements.
Now, to carry the process one step
further. You see the remains Of a
duck lying on the ground in the
neighborhood of your compound, and
you wish to know what has happened
to it. You ask savage bystander,
"Row-wow nyum-nyum quack- uack?"
That is to say, "Has dog bitten my
duck?" The savage shakes his head,
pats his own round stomach, and an
swers with gustO, "Nyum- nyum
Quack-quack." That means Il have
eaten it"

building would cost, have been very
much deceived when all the bills
have been received and the amount
aggregated. We know of one in
stance where gentleman, some
years ago, was erecting large resi-
dence by the day, and did not have
any idea when he commenced what
it was likely to cost; and long before
the structure was completed he had
paid out over $4,000, and was so
disgusted with it that he would not
keep any further account; and to-day
this house, which cost so much
money, could be duplicated for $40, :
900. That is what we call bad man
agement. However, as times are at
The Baptist headlight., 1894-07-18

plications that require the expend1'
ture of a considerable sum Of money
And no one who starts out with the
intention Of spending 81, 900 in the
erection of a dwelling, and winds up
with three times that amount, Will
be likely to think they have used
much Judgment and will try and
shift the blame on some one else.
But it is one of those things that
time will place where it belongs. A
building will vary in cost of construc-
tion according to locality, and Will
also depend greatly on the business
management.

that while the news brought by the
