TO FIND COLLEGE SLANG.

American Dialect Society Asks for
Correct Words and Phrases.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.
The American Dialect Society, through
its secretary. Prof. Eugene H. Babbitt OF
Columbia University. has sent to all the
leading American colleges a circular ask
Ing for assistance in collecting Information
regarding college slang.
The college officials are expected to bring
this circular to the notice of the students
in order that they may collect any forms
Of slarg in use in their alma mater and
forward the collection to the dialect So
ciety for comparison with the list Of slang
expressions used elsewhere.
In order to tabulate and record all words
received the society keeps a set of cards.
on each of which is an outline map of the
country. When a word is reported it is
entered with its definition and locality and
the initials Of the contributor, whose letter
Is put on file. At the same time a mark
Is made on the map to indicate the local
1ty. If 1t Is reported from any locality that
a word mentioned as used elsewhere Is not
used there. another kind of mark is made
When anything on the cards Is printed in
dialect notes. the page number is entered
en- the card.
Thus the society has a complete index
OF everything 1t has printed as we'll as a
oloi OhOooc VI material IOr printing
In such accessible form that If the plan is
fully carried out 1t is really the manuscript
OF the future great American dictionary, so
far as 1t contains usages which are not in
the standard dictionaries
such dictionary Is the dearest hope of
the society to have ready for publication by
l0OO. 1t would certainly supersede all other
works In that line, and remain the stand
ara reference book until usage changes so
1ar as to require a revision. A nice oues-
tlcn IS just where the line shall be dra wn
| In the matter Of slang In publishing the
society seeks to be somewhat conservatives
on this point. but the other hand II
does not want anything to escape II which
may turn out to be worthy of record. and

| 1t is with this end in view that the So

collegiate slang. The circular which IT Is
| sending out contains list of words about
| which the members of each college are
| asked to tell
1. Whether the word is in use among
| them.
| 2. In what sense the word is used. with
| examples.
3. What part Of speech it is.
| The list contains the following words

| grub, horse jolly, lunch, hooks, play horse
with. pluck. play pony, prep, prune, quiz
| ride, roast, sheepskin, snap, stunt, trot
In addition. the recipients Of the circular
| are requested to send any other slang terms
which they find current.

Beans and VaSrancy.

From the Boston Globe.
A School street lawyer tells the follow
ing story as characteristic of the late
Judge McCaferty:
Among the cases before him one morn
ing was one in which rather seedy look
ing fellow was billed for vag:ancy. The
officer who made the arrest and who was
the principal witness was one of those
officials who never speak good word of
a prisoner. He testified. in substance, that
he had seen the man loafing around for
several days and, as far as he knew, he
had no visible means Of support.
WAS the man searched when arrested ?"
asked the court, noddng his head in the
direction of the man in the dock.
Il searched him, your honor" replied
the officer promptly.
Did you find any money about his per-
son?'
The officer looked at the judge somewhat
coEfusedly. and then, after few moments
Of thought, replied, rather lightly:
Eyes, your honor; 10 cents"
Can you buy plate of beans for 10
cents?"
The officer thinking his honor was about
to crack joke, laughingly responded:
why, yes; Of course
Then, sir" and the judge spoke severe
ly, understand from me that man who
has money enough to buy a plate Of beans
Is not vagrant. Understand further, sir,
that as long as 1 am Justice of this
court 1 never again want TO see you bring
man before me on a charge of vagrancy
who has 10 cents in his pocket. Mr.. Clerk,

Some time ago an item was
going the rounds of the press
in the United States to the
effect that a young lady who
was i'll wanted to secure one
million postage stamps to give
to a physician who had prom
ised to cure her on receipt of
them. The girl who did that
was a mani and he was deluged
with stamps. Then he came
to Hawaii, and he is here yet.
While he was collecting post
age stamps, little Dolly Wash
burn was on another lay. She
wanted to save her poor, dear
mother all the time she could
around baking days, so she in
vented an egg separator which
takes the yolk from the white
with the greatest ease. The
separator sells for SO cents,
but Dolly has already made
enough out of it to employ a
good cook and live in New
York.
In this country most serv-
ants light fires with the assist
ance of kerosenn. Those who
live through it get along all
right, but they waste lots of
oil. We have continuance
whereby oil may be saved and
all danger of explosion averted.
The price is small.
Mr.. Paxton must have been
a man who hung around the
kitchen a good deal, for he
has given to the world COM
bination dipper, strainer and
funnel that is about as useful
as anything ever seen in the
kitchen. You can strain soups,
milk and other things, or you
can have a dipper or a funnel
combined, for a quarter.

British soldiers have for many,
many years had the fate of going
against most desperate foes. In South
Africa the savages have been wont to
charge again and again in the face of
fire from machine guns. 1t is the
same with the bowling Dervishes OF
the Nile. The natives of India had to
be taught fear. The Dervishes seem
to be the worst of all. A writer who
has been with Kitchener in the desert
tells most graphically of the fanatical
valor of the barbarian braves of the
Soudan. They stand undismayed in
the open and fight with logged deter
mination in the face of deadliest vol
ley fire. They use rifle and spear and
knife when charged by cavalry and

There are number of people in Ho-

criminal law with a competence. Be
ing brilliant speaker and an able
writer he devotes himself TO the news

terson has been in the northwest on
behalf of Bryan and in an interview
at Chicago declared that the defeat OF

Michigan indisputably in the Bryan
column. Mr.. Patterson was once upon
time candidate for the high sta
ton of Governor of the fine state OF

If one wants to win the heart of a
friend or husband it may be best done
through the stomach. A good meal
goes long way toward accomplishing
the result.
Table Jams sometimes do more than
more expensive articles. Cuttings will
do more than any of them. We Lave a

For this climate genuine Raspberry
Vinegar is excellent. We have Ross in
quart bottles. 1t is made in Belfast at
the same place that Ginger Ale is.
Indian Chutney, a genuine article
made by Rastamjee Bhickajee & Co.,
has never been equalled for price or

The Spanish threaten in frenzied
manner the United States in the atti-
tude of declaring the intent to inter
fere in Cuba unless peace is restored
before Christmas. One of the news
papers at Madrid inquiries: by what
right do the United States define the
time for Spain to settle a question of
her internal administration? View
ing the situation in Europe or more
particularly the conditions in Turkey
and in the far east, it must be conced-
ed that Spain is not irrational when
she insists that only material inter-
ests can Justify interference. IF high
moral or humanitarian grounds were
to be the motif, the first action on the
part of the United States would be to
speak or proceed for the relief of the
Armenians.

Julian Hawthorne, one of the fore
most writers of America, has inherited
and put to very questionable use, the
sympathies which his father had for
the South during the Civil War in the
United States. Mr.. Hawthorne is the
author if a text book on American
literature and it is extremely doubt
full if the partisan work will be ac-
cepted even in the South. 1t is aston
ishing that a man of Julian Haw-
thorne's caliber should err so palpab-
ly and easily. He has written himself
as the plant servant of his prejudices
and traditions. His treatment of the
war of the North and South would be
laughable were not the subject so ex-
eremely serious even at this day. The
book contains the cultures of section.
alism and within its covers has the
most remarkable estimates of men
Hawthorne does not stint with space
in mentioning his father and ever
himself. Wendell Phillips, William
Lloyd Garrison, Daniel Webster ant
many other really great and infuen
tial men of the North have less space
in the work than Jefferson Davis, fol-
instance. The book will have yalu,
only as the mistake of a man of mis-
taken zeal and tenacity.

The favorite Teas in Eng
land in these days are the
Indian and Ceylon, and the
demand is so great that they
are being adulterated with
cheaper grades. The difficulty
to the consumer is that it is so
different in taste from the
ordinary grades sold by deal
ers that until three or four
cups have been drank, so as to
become familiar with it, it is
not pleasant. After that any
other grade has a bad flavor.

GOTO TREATMENT.
1t Receives Very Strong Endorsement
from San Francisco.
(San Francisco Chronicle.0

(San Francisco Chronicle.)
Supervisor Benjamin visited the pest
house yesterday to make a personal
investigation of the effect of the Goto
cure for leprosy, which was purchased
through his efforts. He says the re-
suits of the cure are astounding, and
that all the inmates are apparently on
the road to recovery. There are fifteen
of them, fourteen being under treat
ment, and all show the beneficial eff
fects of the treatment.
"Old ANNIE" as the aged Chinese
woman is known, was one of the most
acute sufferers, and when the cure ar
rived was not expected to live more
than month of two, but, Benjamin
says, has so rapidly progressed toward
health and strength that she is cap
able of doing considerable hard labor.
An old German sailor who was COW
cred with sores upon his face and
hands has been entirely purged of
these outward evidences of his disease.
The effect of the cure upon the
minds of the afflicted is the most ben
eficial, and in place of the dull despair
which previously possessed them, all
are now buoyantly hopeful of recov-
cry.
So satisfactory has been the opera
ton of the cure that Mr.. Benjamin
will move resolution appropriating
5000 for the purpose of replenishing
the supply, which is now almost ex-
hausted, and which sum, he thinks,
will prove sufficient to carry on the
treatment for twelve months longer.

The November Circuit Court calen-
dar is quite voluminous as presented,
but will be materially reduced in a
day or two of attention. Very many
of the cases are of a minor nature and
there is nothing alarming about the
criminal list. That section of thc
docket always dwindles gracefully
when compared with the same feature
of court business in other countries.

From what it has been led to believe
of the course or conduct of the cam
paign which resulted in the appoint
1nent of Hon. E. G. Hitchcock to the
Hawaii Circuit Judgship, The Star
concludes that the less said about the
matter, the better. AS for the new
wearer of the ermine, warmest greet
ings. AS a tribune he will fill the role
satisfactorily. The promotion of l..
A. Andrews to be sheriff of Hawaii is
a deserved reward to capable, pains
taking and unswervingly honest man.
Mr.. Baldwin has also made good
record. 1t will likely occur to many
that a Hawaii man should have been
made the chief of police for that
island. This probably would have been
done but for the petty and unmanly
squabbling that obtains in Hilo al
most all the time and especially when
there is an Office in view.

The Star takes it that purpose Of
Legislation against opium is to sus-
pend the traffic in the drug and en-
force prohibition of it's use. The tabu
law in Hawaii is somehow not doing
its work. More to sustain this state
ment than rumors of smuggling, or
street figures on the forbidden COM
modify can be given. The records of
the courts alone show that the traffic
is large and the use of opium perhaps
not exactly general, but at least very
conspicuous. 1t is terribly ruinous
stuff. Many have advocated the regu-
lation of its use. The experience of
years has told the tale that certainly
the present method of prohibition is
ineffective. The evil should be
squarely faced and dealt with in some
manner that will insure better results
or tangible progress in the work of
its humiliation.
