The Anglo-Saxon Crank.

OF all cranks the Anglo-Saxon crank is
the most entertaining because he has an
idea that he can revolutionize the English
language by throwing out a number OF
words that everybody uses and introducing
in their stead a number that nobody knows
anything about. The Anglo-Saxon maniac
has a strong antipathy to all words that
are of Latin or Greek derivation, or in
deed-of any derivation at all except Saxon
and proposes to throw them, neck and
crop, out of the English language and sub
stitute English words in their stead. One
of the tribe has recently published little
handbook of the proposed changes. which
Is the most amusing tissue of absurdity
ever seen. According to this reformer
electricity should be fireghost, superan.
nuated should be Overyeary, democracy
ought to be folkdom; criticism, deemster,
hood, and horizon, skyedge. For telegram
he would have us say wirespell, and for
omnibus, folktrain. A row of houses
ought to be housetwins, quadrangle
should be fourwinkle and an appendix,
hankmatter. For the word magnificent he
would substitute highdeeds and a peram.

The Office boy was slow, very slow, to
catch on to the less agreeable tasks of his
office, and he did not always have the floor
swept as neatly as it might have been or
the furniture as carefully busted. His en-
ployer was good natured, however, and
tried to teach him by gentle means. The
other morning he came in, and the place
was untidy.
"Frank," he said to the boy as he nodded
at some papers under the desk, when you
see such things as that on the floor, don't
they suggest something to you"
"Yes, sir" replied Frank affably.
"What, Frankp'

Don't be Imposed Upon

When you ask for Seattle Brewing
and Mailing Cos. beer, do not accept
any other kind because you are told
it is just as good" If you value your
health you will not allow anyone to
impose upon you by offering you a
cheap substitute. Remember that the
hainer and Olympic beers are just
what they are represented to be. Both
are the product of the most perfect
grown barley and the best hops to be
had. For sale at Criterion saloon.

A Strange Bosnian Superstition.

At Brazcka, in Bosnia, an old supersti-
ton has come to life again which resembles
the fables of Jewish ritual murders. In
Bosnia the people have believed at all
times that a bridge could not be firm and
lasting unless a human being was walled
up in it. Thus there is a legend connected
with the handsome Roman bridge at Mos
tar which says that the fine arch across the
Narenta could not be finished until the
architect walled up in it a bridal pair.
Now that solid bridge is being built
across the Save at Brazcka this supersti-
ton is revived. 1t is rumored everywhere
that gypsies are stealing children to sell
them to the contractors, who wall one up
in each pillar. A few days ago there was
regular pursuit of some unlucky gypsies,
of whom it had been said that they were
raiding for children. Daily News.

General Tendency OF Prices Yesterday Wa
Downward.

New York, Sept 2S.-The tendency of
prices during the greater part of the
day was downward. Profit taking was
mainly responsible for the reaction, but
an advance in the posted and actual
rates of sterling exchange, the poor
statements for August made by some
of the leading roads and a reduction
in the prices of refined sugar were also
contributing factors.
The advance in sterling exchange and
the higher rates for discounts in Lon
don created an impression that the
movement of gold this way was over,
temporarily at least, and in absence of
details little -eredenee was placed in

Bancroft. The Magician.

great event will undoubtedly be made by theater-goers of Magician Baneroft's first appearance in this city next Thursday, Nov. 18th.
 This remarkable performer comes here heralded with reputation that has been made world wide. His ex- tremely handsome appearance. his fascinating manner as an entertainer and his skill and ingenuity as q magician and sleight of hand manip- ulator has made him of late years the most favorite magician now ap- bearing before the public. which is perhaps all the more pleasing as he is the only magician Of prominence of American birth. His recent visit to India and his discoveries of Hindoo magic there have attracted atteII- ton to him in foreign countries. The production which he will present here will be similar in every respect to that he has given in the large cities in this country. II consists of elaborate stage settings. magnificent scenery and a spectacular exhibition of occultism upon a scale never be- fore attempted in the history of magic. The cost of the production is over Sl00000, and his company numbers twenty-two people. It re qnires two baggage ears to trans port his scenery. All of his feats are novel and unique and of his own de vising His entertainment is prom ised to be different from any other presentation of mystery ever seen here. 1t is divided into four divisions depicting 'The Wizards Palace of Fable, .sThe Magnificent Orient, Midnight Mysteries Among the Yogi" the home of magic. His in- exhaustible repertory of feats are cause for constant bewilderment, amusement and meriment. Each moment is filled with some new cause for surprize and the gorgeousness of his scenery is an incessant delight to the eve.

Little Spleen.

In speech delivered Ut Fayette- vile. Ark, on last Friday night, Powell Clayton gave vent to the following language:
 More than a quarter of century has past since d portion of this Union was arrayed against the other: these same States are still arrayed against progress and prosperity. l say that most of the States that cast their vote for Bryan do not have honest election methods, Arkansas is q fair sample of the whole fot.
 The notorious Powell is Il sweet scented beauty" to talk of honest elections. There are yet many peo- pie living who were citizens of Ar kansas during the years that Powell Clayton was Governor of this State. and they have not forgotten how. by his orders. the inha oitants of q numbe of counties were disfrancIis- ed and prevented from exercising the rights of suffrage. and the ofher corrupt methods then used by the man who, at Fayetteville, and else where. talks of fraud" in this and other States, whose electoral votes were given to Bryan.
 Powell Clayton has done more to retard the progress and prosperity of Arkansas than any other one man that ever lived. and no one ever lived in our State who is held in greater contempt and hatred by honest, law abiding people than is this same Powell Clayton.
