The Genealosy of Slang.


Some one with leisure to follow a
delicate quarry. should devote himself
to the genealogy Of slang or to lllustra-
lions Of what is nothing else than slang
in the classics. For instance, 1--WE shall
smile" is in Julius Caesar" II have
been here before" is in Rosetti's Sud
den Light" and I'VE give ourselves
AWAY" in Mr.. Aldrich's sonnet on sleep.
A very choice modern phrase may be
perhaps traced to Henry Of Navarro,
IN his famous letter nagging his SOL
l;cr friend; "Pends-toi, brave Cri!lon!
Car nous avons combattu Argues, ct
III NY etais pas" Surely this does not
mean that Cr.llon failed to be ut Argues
out rather that he failed to be in the
light there; in literal parlance, lie was

Negroes in Cuba Turning the Revo-
luton Into Race War.
New York. March GA special dis
patch from Nassau says: Additional
news continues to be received from
Cuba Of insurgent victories in the
east. The latest and most startling
yet received is to the effect that Gull
lennon Aloncada, the negro leader Of
band near Guantanamo. is one Of
the few men who want to turn the
revolution into race war. 1t is also
reported that he surprised a large de-
tachment Of Spanish troops recently
and completely routed them. In this
battle, it is said. 200 Spaniards were
killed and wounded. This WAS fol-
lowed by cruel and inhuman treatment
of the SIaniards by Moncada's forces.
There was but one white man in Mon
cada's detachment. After the battle
he ordered this man to leave the camp,
saying the whites had failed to free
Cuba in the last war. and that now in
dependence would be secured by the
negroes. Ioncada's idea seems to be
to make another San Domingo OF
Cuba. His attitude is deplored by the
syInpathizers with the revolutionary
movement.

A SIOUX CITY BLAZE
NEARLY $4,000 WORTH OF PROP
ERTY IN ASHES.
Fire Destroys the Warehouse of tho
Western Transfer Company and
Partially Destroys Linseed OIL
Millions About 100000.

Sioux City, March 23.-One of the
most serious fires in the history of
Sioux City completely destroyed the
warehouse of the Western Transfer
company at 200 Iowa street, with its
contents, entailing loss of more than
100000. The high wind which was
blowing communicated the flames to
the lnseed oil mill across the street,
and it was partially destroyed and the
greater part of it's contents consumed,
making total loss of 100000. The
wind, which had been blowing from
the southeast, now changed, and with
increased velocity blew for time di-
rectly from the east This commune
Gated the flames to two big tanks
owned by the linsced oil mills and the
platforms on which they rested began
to burn fiercely. Thousands of people
had congregated by this time. and
when they saw the tanks on fire there
was wild stampede. The storage
building was an immense structure,
150X6O feet, including the brick oil
storage annex. The main part of the
elevator was five stories high and had
capacity of 10000 bushels. In the
bins at the time was stored 100000
bushels of faxseed. and on the lower
floor several thousand tons of linSeed
oil cake were ready for the market.
In the annex the oil was in huge
tanks. having an estimated capacity Of
100000 gallons.
When it was plain that nothing could
be done toward saving the implement
warehouse. the firemen turned their
attention to saving the oil mill storage
house. Mayor Fletcher telegraphed to
Lemars and Missouri Valley for the
fire departments of those towns, and
they We're soon in readiness to re-
spond. but when it was found that the
fire could be controlled messages were
sent to hold them back.
The building of the Western Trans
fer company was a mammoth frame
structure, four stories high. covered
with corrugated iron. The iron aided
the flames, as it kept the water from
reaching the woodwork. The huge
four-story and basement warehouse,
1OOX15O feet. was filled from top to
bottom with farm implements and ma
chinery, the value of which was about
100000. This machinery was owned
by about twenty implement companies
, in different parts of the United States.

In the mind of the governor, after
due and careful examination of all
the possibilities of income for the
state, this cut is absolutely necessary
in order to carry the credit of the
state safely through. Every item in
each appropriation which it was
thought could tie gotten along without
has been stricken out. The heaviest
cuts were those of the state universi-
ty and normal school appropriations.
and it has but one 1neaning-thc prac-
teal closing of these institutions. The
appropriation left for the three is just
about enough to close up the school
year, and beyond that it will not go.
In the pen.tentiary and state asylum
appropriations also the cut will neces-
state the most rigid economy. Some
officials and positions in the two will
have to be altogether dispensed with
and the salaries OF guards and en-
ployes will also be reduced to meet
the cut. The most intense interest
has prevailed all through the state for

fate of some of the institutions. Espc-
cially has this been so in Grand Forks
