If this were a concrete number, ex-
pressing say, dollars, Britisher would
read it thus: zone hundred and
twenty-three thousand, four hundred
and fifty-six billions, seven hundred
and eighty-nine thousand and twelve
millions, three hundred and forty-five
thousand, six hundred and seventy
eight dollars"
dramatically speaking, it should
be remembered that in writing large
numbers, the order of thousands is al
ways singular; while millions, billions
and all the succeeding orders are
plural.
A Yankee banker, however, would
read it thus: Gone hundred and
twenty-three quadrillions, four hun
dred and fifty-six trillions, seven hun
dred and eighty-nine billions, twelve
millions, three hundred and forty-five
thousand, six hundred and seventy
eight (silyerD dollars" Now while
this vast sum of free silver" would be
intrinsically identical as expressed in
Arabic characters, it would be alto
gether two different things when ex-
pressed in language according to the
two methods at issue.
BY the tabular illustrations above
given, it will be seen that the two
systems agree in name and method of
reading as far as the sixth order;
thence they diverge both in nomen-
clature and value. While the Eng
lish method is becoming slowly obso-
lete, it should be we'll understood by
all business men and general readers.
Names have been assigned to between
twenty and thirty periods for the
enumeration of numbers expressed In
the Arabic system of notations, but it
would add nothing to the object of
this article to insert them here.

James Hamilton Lewis, who enjoys
the distinguished honor of polling the
largest majority on the Peoples State
ticket, for Congressman, was married
Nov. 2Sth, at Sylvania, Ga, to Miss
Rosa Lawton Douglass, a young lady
who has lately distinguished herself as
a writer for Eastern journals.
The many friends of the Colonel in
the Far West extend to him and his
bride a hearty greeting. He repre-
sents what true manhood may have in
store for young men who come west
with laudable ambition to climb the
ladder from its lower rounds to the
higher positions of honor and renown.
The Colonel is truly self-made man.
A few years ago when he arrived on
our shores, he was obscure and I'M
known. He is now unquestionably
the most popular man in the State OF
Washington, and his taking to him.
self a bride of rare accomplishments
will not detract from his reputation
among those who await to receive the
bride with royal welcome.

What a Billion Means.

y short article with the above head
lng. copied from the st. Louis Republic
and published by the STANDARD in its
issue OF November oOth. seems t. have
called forth good deal Of discussion
IL 10 the relative value of large num-
hcr> a. expressed hy the English and
FIR, nch or American methods of n0ta-
ton and numcratinn. Every school
boy knows that computation hv the
>o-rall.l nine digitS Of Arabic origin +;
and ii he has learned well his primary
lessons he knows that every number
represents q sort OF geometrical pro-
erosion, its successive steps or "places"
increasing by a multiplier of ten and
decreasing by divisor Of the same
yaluc.
Now it will be well for all to bear in
mind at the outset that this funda-
mental law Is never violated, but re-
mains intact in all methods of writing
and reading numbers; and that all
numbers expressed in Arabic characters
retain a constant, intrinsic value, how
ever variously they may be named in
different countries. Upon the advent
in Europe of the Arabic characters, in
the twelfth century, the continental
nations generally divided them into
periods of three places each, the French
mathematicians taking the lead in
adopting this system. At a very early
date, SO far back, at least, as during
the reign of Henry VIII, the more
plcthoric English separated these char
actrrs into periods of six places each,
and this practice still exists in Great
Britain and her provinces, but it is
rapidly giving way to the more phil
osophic method of the French. In
the United States, mathematicians
long since adopted the three place."
or French method.
But to come to the main question
at issue, "What does a billion mean?"
Well, in England, it means million
millions; while in the United States
it means thousand millions. This
is quite an appreciative difference, in
deed, and fully important enough to
justify the acquisition of thorough
knowledge of the two methods of COM
putation.
This cannot be better accomplished
than by writing and reading represent
alive numbers in both the English
and American methods.
Suppose We write a number COM
prising eighteen places of significant
local value, thus,
1234567S9O1234567S
Now according to the English
method, this number would be separ-
ated into three periods, named as fol-
lows:

EUROPEAN TITLES FOR AMERICAN
GoLD.-The business of fortune hunt
ing by foreign mobiles, through mar
riage with rich American girls, has
become recognized as Legitimate call
ing, and the New York Journal, under
the caption of "Nobles Unite to Sell
Their Titles" states that club has
been organized under the laws of New
Jersey, which twill be utilized as a
clearing house by the scions of Euro
pean nobility with empty purses and
wealthy American girls with no grand
fathers worth mentioning" Accord
ing to that authority, these people
have leased a club house near the
Waldorf; in fact in the very same
block with the smart Knickerbocker.
The ostensible purpose of the Circle
De La Noblesse, for that is the name,
is, to quote from its charter, to offer a
pleasant and recreative place of meet
ing to the elite of Europe's society WIS.,
iting this country; to render their
stay on American ground as pleasant
as possible, and to facilitate their
movements, social and otherwise. J"
This facilitation has been we'll COM
menced by the preparation of a gen.
eral list, which contains the name,
age, description, habits and approx
mate fortune of unmarried women in
this country who are worth more than
100000, or whose probable dowry
will amount to that much,
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1896-12-04

FROM BAD TO WoRSE.-The new
railroad schedule, which went into
effect Sunday is by no means as ac-
ceptable as the one which preceded it.
There is very little difference in the
local train from Tacoma. 1t will
leave that city at 10 instead of 1920
A. NJ. and arrive at 11.15. Returning
will leave this city at 5:15 P. NJ, ar.
irving at Tacoma at 6 80. There will
be no passenger train to Gray's Har-
Dor, and mail to that benighted region
will be shipped as freight. The Port
Townsend Southern will hereafter
leave at 2 P. NJ. connecting at Tenino
with trains going north and south.
The mails overland and from Oregon
will hereafter arrive at $50, and no
effort will be made for distribution by
carrier till the next morning, although
you may possibly get it through the
pigeon-hole if you trudge to the post
Office for it. 1t is said that this sche-
dule is likely to continue all winter,
and if SO the delivery system will be
of small service to our people for a
large proportion of the year.

INSTRUCTIONS TO JURY MUST BE
IN PUBLIC.-The Supreme Court re-
versed judgment in the case of State,
respondent, vs.. William Wroth, appel
LIANT, found guilty of manslaughter
and sentenced to ten years in the PEN
itentiary by the Superior Court of
SnOhomish. Having moved for new
trial, the motion was denied, hence
the appeal. A new trial was granted
by the Supreme Court, on the show
ing that the Judge Of the Superior
Court, after the jury had retired,
obeyed a summons from it, went into
the jury room and closed the door,
thereafter returning to the court room
and stating to counsel for prosecution
and defense that the jury had desired
further instructions on subject of a
reasonable doubt. The Supreme Court
sustain the contention of appellants
counsel that all such communications
should be public and in presence of
the parties or their counsel.

PROPOSED RETRENCHMENT.-J Judge
B. L. Sharpstein, of Walla Walla, has
made some suggestions regarding re-
trenchment, through the columns of
the Statesman, which should receive
careful attention as the first act of the
Legislature. He says that the State
Board of Land Commissioners should
be abolished and the duties be left en-
tirely with the Commissioner of Public
Lands. He thinks that somewhat
similar retrenchment is practicable as
to most of the State boards. He hopes
for an amendment of the Constitution
so that the number of State officers
and members of the Legislature may
be reduced, this reduction to apply
even to the judiciary.

One morning last week Mrs. Chas.
Slower, of Cosmopolis, prepared to
start fire in an air-tight stove, and
to hasten it she applied a small guam
tity of kerosene oil. An explosion
followed, which sent one stick of wood
up the stove pipe and out into the
room adjoining that which contained
the stove; it also sent a portion of the
contents of the stove up to the second
story and out into one of the upstairs
rooms; and shot flames out at the top
of the stove, burning Mrs. Slovers
eyebrows and singing her hair.

heartfelt thanks ior the honor con.
ierred, which he construed into All ex-
preston OF approval OF the course o
the present city administration in in
stituting rigid measures OF economy.
For the office OF Councilman al
Large, an informal ballot was taken
III which the votes were principally di.
Nldcd between 4. ii. Chambers, Robt,
Mari and Frank McFadden. Mr.
Chambers, who had stated before the
ballot that he would not be IL candi-
date, withdrew his name, and on mo-
ton Robt. Mari was chosen by ac-
clamation. Mr.. NJ. acknowledged the
compliment in few well-chosen re-
marks and promised his hest efforts if
elected.
The nomination of Fred Crombie
Tor Treasurer was made with II vim
which indicated Enthusiastically the
popularity of that gentleman. He
will make an ideal Treasurer. He is
afiablc, courteous, capable and honest.
T. NJ. Troy was then nominated by
reclamation for City Attorney, the
nominating speech by J. R. Mitchell
finding an echo in the hearts of all
who know the candidate. He has no
enemies; he is universally respected
he is diligent, honest and capable.
For Clerk, John Scofeld was nomi-
mated by reclamation, and the enthu-
siasm manifested over the announce
ment of his candidacy shows that he
has many warm-hearted friends who
believe that he is just the man for the
place.
The nominees for Councilmen in
the several wards was as follows
Second, John Miller Murphy; Third,
Allen White; Fourth, James Wilson
and in the Sixth H. B. Smedley. OF
the nominee from the Second Ward
the STANDARD will, of course, be ex.
cused from abiding, but the other
nominees are all men of ability and
good judgment, and they will bring to
the service just the qualifications re-
quired for weathering the stormy seas
that now prevail in all public affairs.
The meeting adopted resolutions
favoring rigid economy, and no issue
of bonds without submission of the
matter to the people.
The following gentlemen were con.
stituted an executive committee for
management of details of the contest
S. L. Mcclellan, VIM. Scofeld, Ed. La
