A correspondent writes to protest
against the "barbarous word shadow

the language as tho term to describe
Professor Roentgen's new process of
photography. The only defensible word.

ing that the term wanted is one to de-
scribe the representation of shadow or
outline. IL there were corresponding

for the verb form and skiagraphema for
the noun form; hence, of course, "soia-
grapheme. :"
We prefer not to kindle warfare
among tho scholars by expressing very
positive opinion upon this point. But
our correspondent s objection recalls
similar battle long ago over the word
telegram. In this case the barbarians
won q notable victory over the combined
forces Of Cambridge scholarship, which
asserted that the word telegram" i'm

would be chastised. The verb, they as
serted, must be telegraphes and the
noun telegraphema hence telegrapheme
and not telegram. The public, however,
absolutely revolted against telegraph
eme and insisted on telegram, though
to the end Of his days the famous Cam
bridge scholar Shilleto always talked
about sending a telegrapheme, never
telegram. In the case of photo

And beg no other, meeter doom
Than donning fetters, Love, of thine
Quick, find me prison room!

The author, who by the way has chosen as

CALLERS ON M'kINLEY.

Big Delegations of Veterans and Farmers
Visit Canton.
CANTON, o., Sept. 16.-The reception
of the old soldiers by the Repubi-
can candidate was most enthusiast
tic. The Woman's Relief Corps and
thousands Of Cantonians followed the
parade to the Mckinley home. Every
post in the county and many from adj
joining counties were represented.
Major Mckinley was given IN ovation
and was interrupted by cheers at short
intervals. Colonel J. j. Clark pre-.
sented the delegation in a stirring
speech.
When the handshaking was reached
there was great rush. The delega-
ton from Somerset, Pa, over 1900,
was approaching, and it was feared
there would not be time for all to get to
Mckinley. The Pennsylvanians had
five bands and many banners and EN-.
blems. This delegation of farmers
came over $50 miles. State Senator
Norman B. Critchtield made the intro.
ductory address. Three times Major
Mckinley began to speak and each
time was interrupted by cheering, and
when he concluded there was unusual
eagerness to shake his hand.

Latest Rumor Says Alexander
Sullivan of Chicago Has
Been Arrested. a

LONDON, Sept. IGNORE attention is
being paid to the details Of the alleged
dynamite conspiracy than any other
subject, not excepting the situation in
Turkey. Those who do not participate
in the horror professed blythe authori.
ties over the diabolical details Of the
plot which they are claiming, with sen.
sational impressiveness, to have I'M.
earthed, find sufficient entertainment
in the expression Of their scepticism. q.
It is notable fact that the police
authorities Of Paris express great scorn
for the idea that there was any connec-
ton between any plot that -,
lyman May Have Concocted
and an attempt upon the life Of the
car. The elaborate talk Of collision
between the Fenians and the CONT
mental anarchists and Russian nihilists
is laughed at in Paris, although the
authorities of Scotland Yard are using
this story as much as they possibly can
in order to influence the French to sur
render lyman. The suspicion is broadly
limited that the story Of lyman being
implicated in plot against the czar
was concocted for no other purpose
than to appeal to the political sympathy
of France toward Russia to effect
consent to extradite lyman.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l6. - Senator
Jones, chairman of the Democratic NO.
tional committee, has left Washington
for Chicago. When asked for an opin.
ion as to the result of the Maine elec-
ton, he said:
"When we consider that before the
Democratic national convention was
held, the Democrats Of Maine held q
convention and nominated a gold ticket
on gold platform, and that subse-
quently they met and reversed this &C.
ton, declaring for silver, and that this
was followed soon by an election at
which the party cast 5000 more votes
than it did two years ago, I think it
shows marvellous gain for silver In
stead, therefore, Of feeling disheartened
over the result, I feel greatly encour.
aged. 1t must be remembered that
Maine is in the extreme East, where We
never have hoped for any but the most
meagre results for silver. The returns
ought to add to the hopes of our friends

rest in arts.
New YORK, Sept. l6.-The World
says: 1t was rumored late last night
that Alexander Sullivan of Chicago,
whose name figured in the Cronin
murder case, had been arrested in Paris
at the instance Of the English police.
In connection with the rumor The
Worlds Chicago correspondent tele-
graphed the following:
alexander Sullivan went abroad
two months ago to Carlsbad, SO it is
said. Saturday night last his wife,
Margaret Sullivan, was stricken with
apoplexy and now is very i'll. She can
not be seen. Nothing definite is known
here, though it is rumored that Sulli-
van is in trouble. It is said by. Irish
men here that Sullivan would not have
gone into any dynamiting scheme now.
1t is possible that he may have been
arrested on the theory that he was an
Irish Invincible, but there is no evil
dence that he was even remotely con-
nected with the 1nvincibles.

decided to voluntarily reduce the min
ing rate to 81 cents, as q means Of re-
taliatiOn on non-union miners who
have been working at rates lower than

passage almost unanimously of resolu-
tions which bind the organized miners
to voluntarily reduce their own wages
for the sake Of uniformity from 10 to "a

ize the officers Of this district to meet

company. That company has con-
tract with it's men to pay 10 cents less

ELEVATORS OPEN.

Two Systems ut Superior Begin Business
Once More.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 49,
When Wisconsin grain inspection was
inaugurated, the elevator plants on this
side Of the bay closed down and an
nounced that they would remain
closed as long as the system remained
in force. Tuesday the Globe system
commenced to receive wheat under the
new system. The Terminal elevator
commenced to receive fax and an
nounced also that it's system would con-
tinue in operation but would not re-
ceive wheat at present.
This move is considered by local
grain men to mean the complete sue
cess of the Wisconsin inspection, and
they expect in = short time to have the
other elevator systems as well as the
-four mills announce their intention to
continue doing business as of old.

Reed that 'Sewall's star sinks and
Watson's rises" The voice Of Maine
does not indicate any Encouragement
of the campaign. 1t Is no test Of

feeling which pervades the nation In
support of the claims Of Mr.. Watson's
friends that he should be recognized.

LEXINGTON. KY, Sept 16.-Kentucky
hospitality ard Southern enthusiasm
were showered upon William Jennings
Bryan on his trip in the Blue Grass re.
gion. The greatest reception rendered
him in the South was at Lexington,
where he addressed from 5000 to co.
600 people at the fair grounds. A pro.
cession, unique in its character, and
impressive to large degree, passed be-
fore him as he was on the speakers
stand. The farmers Of the surrounding
counties got into Lexington during the
morning and came in typical Southern
way, travelling the entire distance on
horses. While Mr.. Bryan was address
ing the audience the horsemen were
seen entering the gates OF the fair
grounds, riding in double file and
carrying
Appropriate Democratic Banners.
1t took 20 minutes for the 10000 people
to file past the nominee and every one
of these tried to Guido his neighbor in
yelling and cheering.
Mr. Bryan spoke to the farmers and
it was u speech intended for farmers.
He told the farmers that those who ap-
piled the namo anarchist to the bone
and muscle Of this country were doing
more to overthrow our government
than any sr2, chist who ever carried a
red flag, and this statement created the
greatest enthusiasm.
On his way from Louisville to Lex.
ington stops were made at La Grange,

short speeches made at each point. At

Arrests Expected Over the Inspection
Law Fight.
DULUTH, Sept. 16.-When the Great
Northern begins it's inspection Of grain
at Sandstone in the morning the strug-
gle over the constitutionality of the
Wisconsin inspection law will begin.
It is expected that the Superior board Of
trade will cause the arrest of many
Eastern Minnesota employees, and it
may proceed by injunction. The posi-
ton taken by the road is that this grain
is in transit from Minnesota or North
Dakota points to Duluth, and that Wis
consin has no right to modest it because
it chances to pass through it's territory,
and that to do SO is a violation of the
interstate commerce law. 1t is claimed
that the fact that the grain is trans
fe1red to an elevator in Wisconsin gives
that state no more control Of it than it
has of merchandise in cars bound from
one state to another through Wis
cOnSin
