"Porterhouse" Originated in curling Slip
Boss" from the Dutch.
New York city is the birthplace of
several expressions that have been for
many years current all over the world
These expressions are not the outcome
of scholarly thought and culture. Al
though our professional men have du-
tifully and generously aided in the cir
culation and ennoblement of neolo-
gisms foreign born, the apt yet un-
studied offerings of the untutored
workman have held their own in lit
erature as well as in everyday speech,
while many labored results of learned
mind workers and would-be mind mas
ters of words have lived but long
enough TO be named
The word boss" which came into
common use during the regime of Will
liam NJ. Tweed, is a Dutch baas-master.
In the language to which it belongs
it is much used in composition. Thus,
Zimmerman baas is a master carpen-
ter, and preacher is in Dutch merely
n church boss.
Only few years ago attention began
TO be called to the prevalence of the va
rious forms of vice in what was then
considered the choicest residential part
of the city. a newspaper reporter
named the region the "Tenderloin dis.

known for a long time TO come, while
the name tcndcrloin will do duty sin
gularly in other towns as they grow
more like the city in their notable char
acteristics.
Porter is the name given in London
more than a century ago to a very dark
and heavy beer much fanced by porters
and other outdoor worl,men. The word
and the thing came to New York in due

a beverage among the wharfmen. truck
men and 'lnngshoremen engaged on the
river fronts on the east and west sides
of the city. One taveruer in Burling

sold and his place gradually gained the

COLLINS GlVeN a HEARING.
The FIRST Round of the Collins-Duty
ARRAY IN Court.

The FIRST Round of the Collins-Duty
ARRAY IN Court.
PENNsBORo, w. VA, Dec. 21.-The
first round of the CollinsDuty cutting
scrape in court is in progress here to-
day. After being at large for several
DAYS Collins was arrested late Satur-
day night and was lodged in Jail at
Harrisville.
AS more of the details of the affair
are learned it seems that the terrible
battle which took place in Duty's law
office was more serious than first re-
ported. Dutys escape from death as
tod by the man who separated the
two men, was miraculous.
He carried in his inside coat pocket a
large leather wallet for valuable
papers, etc, and in this have been dis
covered four knife cuts made by Col
Inns in his efforts to reach Duty's heart
with his weapon. In Duty's flesh di-
rectly under where the wallet was car
ried are three small cuts and larger
one about one inch deep. This fact
will be brought out in Collins hearing
and will if possible be made to show
that Collins was striking at Duty's
heart with deadly intent.
Collins is also in very bad shape
from the results of the beating over the
head with a poker which Duty gave
him. His wounds, however, are not at
all serious as compared with Duty's.

Italy and Abyssinia.

The war between Italy and Abys-

agreement on the part of Italy to keep

pay the negus about 100000, not exact

These demands are reported to have
