Though there were several good

great pains and careful study have
been taken to explain the deriVations
Of words, their original meaning where
they have been degraded, and d COM
parison has been made between the
average speech of England and the
United States as it is commonly used.
The writer has also reviewed the char,

old dictionaries and lends his aid in as
sisting the reader to the best modern
dictionaries a photography gives
completeness to the book, and an index
of the English words referred to par
ticularly as examples is added. The
historical knowledge of photography
which the writer brings to bear on his

same time its popular and pleasing

amusing in it's rendition of certain ar

THE WATER QUESTION.
The Citizens Hold a Mass Meeting to Res oIuts Against the Arbitrary Action of the Water and
 Light Go.

Friday afternoon, immediately after special meeting of the City Coun- ciI, mass meeting Of our citizens was held at the Court House for the purpose of discussing means to pre- vent the Water & Light Company from carrying out it threat to cut of the water supply for fire purposes.
 The meeting was organized by the election of Maj. C. c. Newman as Chairman. and Mir. D. z. Bell as Sec retary.
 Mr. Bell explained the object of the meeting, after which the following resolutions were introduced and adopted:
 WHEREAS. The receiver of the Water Works Co. iu the cisy of Pine Bluff has suffered his employees and officials to cut of from the city all water ser vice so as to protect cur people aginst loss by fire in violations of the contract made between the city and the Water Co, and,
 WHEREAS, Said receiver has also suffered -aid agents and employees to shut off from the citizens supply of water for domestic and private Use. notwithstanding the fact that our citizens have paid for such ser vice. cash in advance, and,
 
 WHEREAS, Our people are being otherwise iulproperlg and wrongfully treated by said receiver, therefore, be It
 RESOLVED, By the citizens of Pine Bluff in mass meeting assembled sug- gest that some proper appeal be made to Jndge Caldwell or Judge Williams, bringing to their attention the wrongs being complained If to the end that such orders may he made and such directions be given said receiver as may relieve our peo- pie of the injustice now being inflicted upon them and which has continued for long period of time.
 After the adoption of the resolution brief speeches were made by Maj Newman. Mayor Goldsmith, Alder men Atkinson and Saunders, Hon. $ NJ. Taylor. Mir. Arthur Murray and others, in which the cause pursued by the management of the Water X Light Co. was severely criticised.
 On motion of Mir. Murray ,ex- Mayor D. C. Bell was appointed a commit teemen from the citizens to accopany the City Attorney to St. Paul and lay the affairs, as they exist, before Judge Caldwell, and to ask him to give the patrons of the Water k Light Company relief from the out rages they are now forced to endure.
 A motion was put and unanimously carried endorsing the action of the City Council in refusing to pay the Water & Light Company for services tha, had never been rendered. The meeting then adjourned.
