The Literary Event of the 10Th Cen.
tUry

We have received from the pub
fishers, the Funk IL Wagnalls Co., so
Fayette Place, New y ork, the second
volume of their new Dictionary of the
English Language" The Standard -
the preparation and publication Of
which may well he spoken of as the
browning literary event of the 10Th
century. Some idea of the immense
labor and cost involved in the publca-
ton of this great book may he gotten
from the statement that The Standard
represents the combined labor of 247
editors and specialists, at a cost in the
aggregate of about one million dollars.
1t combines the best scholarship of the
English-speaking world. The book is
constructed, rs its publishers declare,
upon original plans designed to give III
complete and accurate statement, in
the light of the most recent advances
in knowledge, and in the readiest form
for popular use, the photography, pro.
nunciation, meaning and etymolOgy of
all the words, and the meaning of idi-
omatic phrases in the speech and liter
ature of the English-speaking people.
The appendix in the back of the book
is very full and valuable, containing
complete dictionaries of proper names,
foreign phrases, faulty diction, dis
puted spelings, authorizations, contrac-
tiOnS etc csc The Standard is the
latest and we believe the most COM
plete dictionary of the English Ian
guage eyer published. 1t is simply in
valuable in any library. Address the
publishers for further particulars as to
price, style of binding, &c.

MATING. {

Nor DEAD.-The report in circula-
ton yesterday evening that a well.
known young man of this city had
died suddenly is erroneous. The re.
port originated in this wise: The young
man in question, who of late has been
in a state of impecuniosity, was re-
quested on Thursday evening to settle
little account at a popular city ga.
loon. The young man promised faith.
fully to settle the next evening, adding
that he would certainly pay the bill by
that time if he was alive. The hour
named for settlement having passed
and the money not being forthcoming
the saloon keeper naturally supposed
the delinquent to be dead and to in
quiries concerning the man so reported

THE ELECTRIC RAILwAY.-Some
DAYS ago the officials of the Alexandria
and MI. Vernon Electric Railway call
ed upon the District of Columbia Com
mjssioners to endeavor to persuade
them to grant a permit for the con-
struction of q road in Washington &C.
cording to the terms of the charter,
with the difference, however, Of a sub
stitution of a surface, instead of the re-
ouired underground system, for about
so feet around the corner of Thirteen.
aud.a half street in order that in the
construction of the road, the company
might not be forced to put in conduit
at that point. The Commissioners, at.
ter debating the matter. have decided
that they cannot grant such a permit.
The company filed request yesterday
for permit for the entire road con.
struction under the terms of the char
ter providing for an underground sys-
TEN. Commissioner Powell stated that
although a few days must elapse be-
fore the permit could be granted on &C.
count of the official routine in such
cases, the permit would be given as
soon as possible. The company is all
ready to begin its work of construction.
1t is understood that the Belt Line
Company, over whose tracks the road
is to operate, is not at all pleased with
that part of the other company's char
ter providing for this, but Commission
er Powell said that there was no way
in which any objection on the part OF
the Belt Line could be consistently
heard.

To REORGANIZE AT ST.. AsAPH.-1t
is said again that the Virginia Jockey
Club will be reorganized next week,
and that Messrs. J. NJ. Hill, of this
city Lynn and Wall, of Baltimore; j..
N. Kirk, of New York ]. G. Carr and
Dennis Mclaughlin, of Hoboken, and
John Eagan, jr., of New York, will be
the stockholders of the organization,
John Eagan, jr., retaining part of the
stock formerly held by his father, Thos.
F. Esgan. ]. G. Carr, Dennis Nc
Laughlin and J. M. Hill will have the
controlling interest. An entire change
in the staff of officials will take
place. ]. J. Burke, regardless Of
his western engagements, will be
the presiding judge, and Tom Flynn
the starter. The secretaryship will
likely be filled by New York man,
the present secretary, II. d. Mcintyre,
leaving his post in May. The new
management will apply to the Jockey
Club for new license before the old
one expires, which is May IA. Should
the Jockey Club refuse to grant new
license, the races will be run under the
rules of the Western Turf Congress.
1t is the intention of the management
to continue the meeting after May IA.
and to race on alternate dates with the
Old Dominion Jockey Club. The bet
ting ring will be enlarged and new
five furlong "chute" will be construct
cd. Should the races be run under
Western Turf Congress rules the "for-
eign" book will of course be reopened.
Mr.. ]. G. Carr will shortly assume
charge of the Virginia Jockey Club as
manager. He says he will make no
immediate changes in the clubs official
staff, and that he will probably retain
Mr.. II. d. Mcintyre as Secretary until
May IA. 1t is understood that the club
pays Mr.. ]. M. Hill two hundred dol
lars day for closing the foreign books
