Rabbit or Rarebit?

"Apropos of tho peculiarly American
tendency to explain things" he was say
ing there occurs to my mind the attempt
sometimes made to account for the deriye-
zion of the compound word welsh rabbit
l regret to notice that Webster falls into
the common error of considering the word
rabbit corruption of rarebit. Now, as
shown by photographers who have had the
advantage of technical acquaintance
with facts relating to the origin of the
word, welsh rabbit Is merely slang term
and not a corruption at all 1t never was
anything but welsh rabbit, and in its gen
esis 1t was essentially a slang term, yet by
reason of its long habitude in the language
It has lost or outgrown what might be
allied the coarseness Of its origin and Is
low entitled to place In the accepted vo-
cabulary without any apology or fapciful
explanation. In proof Of this l may cite

Prefer q Steady Death Rate.

Charles Booth, in the last volume OF
his great work on the poor Of London,
has this to say about the undertaker's
business as viewed by those engaged in
it.:
sit is seasonal trade, and the busy
time is, as would be expected, from No
vember until April, though sudden
rush may come at any time OH the ad'
vent of cold winds or fogs. What under
takers prefer is a good, steady death
rate. Fluctuations annoy them, for any
sharp rise in the death rate is sure 10 10
followed by q period Of slackness. FOE
instance, the influenza epidemic greatly
overworked the trade in the years 1871
to 1898. The weaker members OF 'ho
community were swept away, ana as
consequence there is now reaction, anu
this year (1894) has been one OF 'iio
worst ever experienced in the annals oi
undertakers. This decrease in volunio
Of business is also partly due to petter
sanitation, and the autumnal rise LII .no
death rate, which was known 10 'no
trade as the plum season, Is no"

GAS ACCUMULATED
WAS A TEnalLE EXPLOSION
Men, BarroWs, Tools and Ma
terlal Hurled in All
Directions.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 21.-An explosion
at Furnace Fl Of the Carnegie Steel
company at Braddock at a. M, killed
six men, injured sixteen more and
destroyed $4,000 worth of property.
Five of the injured will die. All of the
killed and injured were Hungarians,
except James Harrison, the foreman.
Their names have not been obtained.
The explosion was due to a hang" in
the furnace, which suddenly was loos-
ened and dropped into the molten
metal below, generating an immense
quantity of gas so suddenly that it
could not escape by the ordinary means
and the explosion followed.
The terrible loss of life was due to
peculiar cause. A few minutes before
the explosion occurred, one of the top
filters dumped barrow of material
into the bell of the furnace, which he
had forgotten to raise. This clogged
the top of the furnace and prevented
the gas escaping. A gang of 16 men,
in charge of James Harrison, were sent
at, once to the top Of the furnace to re-
move the obstruction. All were closely
crowded ar 1und the bell Of the furnace
removing the material which had been
dumped on it, when there was ter
rife explosion and men, barrows, tools
and material were hurled in all direc-
tions. Flames, deadly gases and
smoke belched from the furnace top,
and the gang of men fell as if shot.
Only one man was killed instantly, the
rest dying in the course of two or three
hours.

In dge Charles Walker is dead! This
Mt will strike chord OF SYM
pathetic grief in the heart OF every old
resident of Sank Centre, and as abrupt
as is the announcement, it is all that is
known of the particulars. His niece,
Mrs. Della Walker, received telegram
on Saturday making the announcement
without details. It merely stated that
he died at Grants Pass, where he owned
a farm. A letter from him a week earlier
was in his most cheerful vein, indicating
that he was enjoying his usual good
health, and the telegram was great
shock to her.
Judge Walker spent the winter in this
city, returning to his Oregon home less
t han four months ago. He spent a
happy winter here among his old-time
friends, with whom he was great fav-
or1te in the early times of Sank Centre.
He was an inveterate joker, pleasant
companion, and will ALWAYS be held in
the kindliest memory bv the old settlers.
He was a lawyer OF ability. but the
practice of law was not to his taste. He
preferred rural life, and enjoyed the pur-
suit of agricult ure for its own sake.

BOUNDLESS BASENESS.

Testimony in the Durrant Case to Show
He Was Not a Lamb.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.-The pros
ecutors of Theodore Durrant are at
present engaged in developing fruit
full line of testimony which promises to
throw powerful side light on the con-
duct Of the young man toward women.
While Durrant is pictured by his
friends as being a meek, modest youth
who, far from being able TO murder
two school girls, found his only true
enjoyment in the Sunday school of
which he was assistant superintendent,
it is proposed to prove that his base
ness was boundless when associating
with women. In support Of this asser-
ton, young women who are said to
have been insulted by DuIrant vii be
placed on the stand, and letters written
by the prisoner to female acqnaintances
will be introduced as evidence.

Concessions Said to Have
Been Made to the Free

SPRINGFIELD, O., Aug. 2l,-The dis
trict and other preliminary meetings of
the Democratic state convention are
being held here. preparatory to the as
sembling of the state convention. SEN
ator Brice has arrived and is making
the fight Of his life for a platform in
conformity with the views of President
Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and HIM
self on the financial question. He is
not taking an aggressive part for the
nomination of governor Of other Off
GERS, but is interested in the organiza-
ton SO as to control the Committee on
credentials, which will determine the
contests, and the committee on resolu-
tions. which will report the platform
He is believed to have majority of
the SOS delegates with him, but the
free silver men claim 304 Of the dele
gates,
Enough to Make Trouble
if NO concessions are made to them.
The delegates are all here and the ques-
ton is as to what concessions shall be
made to the minority, which claims to
be over two f1fths and almost one-half
the membership Of the convention. The
Brice men are not placing any objec-
ton to any Of the free silver candi-
dates, nor to John 81. Thomas and
Colonel James Kilborne Tor governor,
and they are both pronounced advo-
Gates of free coinage of silver. John 81.
Thomas has been opposing Senator
Brice very strongly, but Senator Brice.
Ex-Governor Campbell and other lead
ers died with Mr.. Thomas, and it is
understood that compromise was
made, but it will not be known what
the leaders did until after their plans
are developed in the convention.

Senator Brice is the temporary
chairmamof the convention, and his
keynote speech is sure to BE- for ''hon-
est money without regard to the out
come of the fight for the organization
of the convention His speech win be
conservative. Immediately after it's
delivery come the reports of the COM
mittee on credentials, the majority for
seating contesting Brice men and the
minority for seating the frye silver con-
.testants In considering Aese reports,
the senator may have some close ruling
and the silver men may get mad. 1t is
at this juncture Of the proceedings that
the contest between the free silver and
Brice men is expected, although the
latter have mad things their way so far.
just Wanted a Plank.
Just before Senator Brice arrived at
II a. m. the city was flooded with dodg-
ers bearing the following resolutions
adopted at the meeting of silver dele
gates:
1--WE favor the immediate restora-
ton of the law providing for free coin
age of both gold and silver coins and
their use without discrimination as
provided for in the constitution.
The silver men met Senator Brice
and pledged him they had no fight on
him, and all they wanted was this
plank. The senator and his friends
are noncommittal, and want all to wait
for the regular report.
On the arrival Of the train bearing
Ex-Governor Cambel at noon, Camp

inquiry which it has not before en-

in the merchant service is the subject
to which the officials of the bureau are

The terms upon which seamen arr
employed, the wages paid them, the
treatment accorded to them at sea and
incidentally the rations and accommo-

two plates of glass side by side, COM
prising the front-an arrangement most
admirable for the display OF goods. The
walls are snowy white, and the light so
abundant that it is as light within as
without. The second floor, of easy &C
cess by a flight of stairs, is one large
room, and will be used for storing and
exhibiting surplus stocks. The new
