DEATH OF MIR. DORSEY.
The Noted LinSuist of the Bureau OF
EthnOlnEy Passes Away.

The Noted LinSuist of the Bureau of
EthnoloIy Passes Away.
Rev. j. Owen Dorsey of the chronological
bureau died yesterday morning at his
home 2t02 + street northwest. MIR. Dor
sey's name has for many years been prom
inent in pathological work in this country,
and his death will be a great loss to the
science of ethnolosy. He was born in Bal
timore in 1913. He was educated at Bal
tmore High School and the Episcopal
Theological Seminary of Virginia, at AL
exandria. He was ordained by the blshop
of Virginia in 1871, and in May of that
year began work as missionary among
the PoDca Indians. Illness obliged him
to return east in 1873 soon after he had
learned the Ponca tongue well enough to
talk with the natives without an interpre-
ter He came back to Maryland and began
parish work. Prof. Henry, to whom he
was known, mentioned Mr. Dorsey to Maj.
Powell in 1877, and the following year MI.
Dorsey was invited to enter upon the work
of the chronological bureau, to which unln-
terruptedly he gave the rest OF his life.
Mr.. Dorsey came of an old Maryland and
recruited for the Union service whole
company of Dorseys. He was much in
terested in the geneaiogy of his family
and well acquainted with every branch of
it. He showed great precocity in child
hood. At six, they say, he knew the He
brew alphabet, and at ten he read the Ian
ruistic study led him to make study of
numerous languages, in which he acquired
more than ordinary facility. He published
numerous works in the reports of the eth
biological bureau, and leaves many more
yet TO be published Among them the most
important is the volume on "Dheeida
Language, Myths. Stories and Letters"
He was a contributor to many scientific
periodicals. In his inquiry into aboriginal
languages. customs and traits Mr.. Dorsey
pursued the work not only in the field
among the Indians, but took the novel
course of bringing numerous delegations
of Indians to Washington, where, through
them their language might be made the
subject Of careful and extended study. In
addition to his work among the Siouan dia-
lects, he also gave much attention to the
language of the northern Pacific coast In
dians the AthabaScan. KUsan, Takelnan
and Yakonan stocks His latest work, en-
titled Omaha Dwellings, Furniture and
Implements" will soon be published by the
bureau of ethnology. Mr.. Dorsey was a
cousin of Mrs. Anna Vernon Dorsey, the

ONCE AGAIN THE GRIP.
How the Old Enemy Operates and
How He May BE Quickly Overcome.

How the Old Enemy Operates ana
How He May BE Quickly Overcome.
We may we'll look the situation squarely In
the face. Our old foe, the grip, has attacked US
again. He has been aided by cold, damp weather,
and the vile condition of the streets in towns and
cities. Strong and women stricken down
and tormented by the fear that If they recover
their health will, In all probability, be permanently
shattered.
This is one of the worst things about the grip
that it may leave the senses impaired and lungs
stomach system weakened. Doctors
urging the need of precautionary measures
Keep warm well fed and good tempered, they say
Avoid OverwOrk, worry and wet feet as you would
deadly poison.
More; brace and tone your body with pure
stimulant, which shall nelp the digestive and
respiratory organs to nourish and cleanse the
system.
Public opinion commends Dufy's Pure Malt
Whisky as an invaluable aid in fighting the grip.
1t is prepared with view to combating those
malarial influences which together go to mak6 the
power of our old enemy. sneeze, n cough, Il duii
headache, WITH probably, a little fever and some
muscular PAIN tell that the invader is at hand
You will soon find how wise yon were TO take
Dufy's Pure Malt Whisky, for it stirs your blood
so that waste matter is readily driven out, whie
we'll tgested food is turned to new tissue This
stimulant will keep you in perfect health ana no
healthy person yields to the grip. 1t strikes only
the weaklings.

PUEBLO. Col, February 5.-The western
express on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe road, train No. I, bound for Colorado
and California. was held up one mile west
of Sylvia. Reno county, Kan. at 1:2j
o'clock last night. by four masked men.
who signaled danger. Two of the robbers
covered the engineer and fireman and two
went to the express car
For some reason they failed to effect an
entrance, and then went to the coac hes and
made the passengers give up all their valu-
ables. The train was held for an hour and
ten minutes by the robbers, who then rode
south.
Conductor NcGrath ran the train back to
Sylvia and gave the alarm. and the sheriff
was on the train with his posse in few
minutes. The men are believed to be men,
bers of the Stafford gang. One of the pair
who went through the train is described in
height as five feet nine inches and wore a
de-rimmed gray hat. The other man was
tall and wore macintosh.

The Old and New System.
Under both the old and the new systems,
Mr. Hamlin continues, an official audit of
accounts and claims is made in all the ad-
ministrative departments before they are
sent to the treasury for audit. There is
as complete an audit in each bureau of
department as would be required by any
commercial house, and the new plan re-
Quires that after this audit all accounts
shall be passed upon by an auditor making
a complete double check. claim settled
by an auditor is not paid until the depart
ment is notified of the result of the audit
The controller acts as the appealing OFF,
Ger where there are differences or errors,
and his decisions guide all the auditors III
making their findings uniform. The con-
troller also has to pass upon advances to
disbursing officers, end If their accounts
are not satisfactory may refuse to coun-
tersign the warrants. Mr.. Hamlin says
1.-The new system brings together all the
books of the government SO that COM
plete statement can now be made, and will
be made, of the condition Of accounts. 1t
has already developed the fact that large
balances have been standing against dis
hursing officers unaccounted for, and 1t
will bring these accounts up to date"
