THE SOUTHERN ACCENT.

&c ~ correspondent OIL tHe view 1OTh Gun
who signs himself "Southerner" makes
some very just criticisms on the at
tempts of the Northern actors to iml-
tate the Southern aceept in plays pur-
porting to represent Southern types. He
notes for instance that "the Southerner
does not say sab. He does not say sub.
He says sir, with the ended when just
begun.
1T should always be remembered"
says the correspondent. that the dialect
speaking broken English, but the ac-
cent of the white Southerner IL that of
an Englishman whose tongue has
changed under the laws of evolution,
some Of which have mentioned. The
Englishmen in Australia and Cape Col
ony do not talk precisely like English
men in England. nor like each other, al
though Cape Colonistis and Australians
do not depart 50 far from the English Of"
England as do the English of the SOUTH
simply because the colonists have never
been left so completely alone by the
English of England as have been the
English OF the South.
"Southcrners and New Englanders
speak English more correctly than peo-
PIE in other parts of the Union. l be-
lleve that Southcrncrs pronounce the
vowels more nearly according to the
dictionaries than any other people In
the Union except the New Englandcrs.
Dictionaries. however, are for and by
New EnGlandcrs. am particularly
happy to say that Southerners although
they might slight the r. yet they do not
seize upon it with Teutonic avidity and
vent Il sound very much like one chok-
Ing over an eight-ouncc oyster. That is
what is done TO the r in the greater por-
ton of the North and West"
Very few actors who have been reared
in the North are able to give the South
crn accent correctly, and in very many
ca Sos the attempts are simply horrible.
But this Is not always the fault of
the actor. The playwright is probably
more 10 blame for putting the express
sion in the mouth of the man who
speak his lines. The author of a play
who tells the actor when representing q
Southern character 10 say "sah" when
he should say sir, simply convicts him
self Of ignorance of the matter he at
tempts to direct. Just as these people
are wrong in representing the Southern
er on the stage, with black mustache.
longtailed broad cloth coat and high top
boots, prolific of bad English and al
ways looking for u scrap-the kind Of
creature who carries pistol and chews
tobacco In the drawing room. SO are they
wrong in suggesting the accent COM
planned of by the SUMS correspondent.
Not one playwright in hundred. either,
understands or puts the proper Southern
accent in his productions. nor does he
clothe his chara ctevs as they should be-
In the eyes OF the Intelligent and cultur-
ed Southerner they are merely mounte-
danks.

OIL FOR WAR VESSELS.
System Which Will Increase speed and
Save Fuel.

System Which Will Increase speed and
Save Fuel.
Judge M. A. Chapman recently went
to Washington to file patent applica-
tions and interest proper government
officials in inventions by Frank M. Reed
of Anderson, Ind, which have been
completed, tested practically and found
to be capable of revolutionizing the
handling of war vessels at sea.
The inventions carry out to perfec-
tion the idea originated by Russia in
using oil instead of coal for a fuel for
war vessels. Reeds invention covers a
system Of oil burning which would
make II possible FOR . Vessel Ike the
Indiana % carry enough fuel to last on
o trip around the world. The system
is gas generation from oil. The gas is
generated by an atomizing plan, 10
smokeless and capable Of tenth more
heat than the Russians get, or 83 per
cent more heat than the government is
now getting from coal.
Instead of 80 stokers, which are now
necessary on great war vessel, one
man could handle all of the valves.
Another one Of the inventions covers
q storage tank that is absolutely bullet
and shell proof. The cost of the equip
ment is very small and would be paid
for in month or SO in the saving Of
fuel. l.-Exchange.

DR.. James Charles of Richmond, Ind. /,
who for 20 years has been making q
study Of aerial navigation, and who for
q year past has been working ON plans
for an airship, on recent day an.
nounced that he had them completed.
They we're exhibited in connection
with q model Of the ship to all who
cared to call to see them, and much in
terest was taken in the matter. DR..
Charles ship is much like that Of Pro-
fessor Langley, but it improves on it
in some radical features. The propel-
ling power will be steam or electricity,
and the ship will be about 30 feet long
and designed to carry half q dozen
people.
A stock company will be organized
for it's manufacture. II it proves to be
a success, one of the first trips will be
to tho Alaskan goldfelds.

Colleges Selling diplomas.

DR.. S. @. A. Rubey oNClinton, secre-
tary Of the Kansas state dental examin-
ing board, and DR.. III. s. Lowry of
Kansas City, member of the board,
examined Kansas City dental colleges
the other day. The result was a con-
ference with Prosecutor Lowe, who will
institute proceedings in few weeks to
have the charters Of two Of the institu-
tions revoked. Criminal proceedings
may also be instituted against the off,
cials Of these colleges. The colleges in
question have been selling diplomas,
DR.. Rubey says. for what they would
bring, and in many instances have sold
them to persons outside the city who
have never been inside the colleges.
"They have been grinding out di-
plomas for almost any price," said DR..
Rubey. "and I have positive evidence
that in some instances diplomas have
been sold to persons who have never
been in Kansas City. We intend to
prosecute them as frauds and to have
their charters revoked. "-St. Louis

prescribed BY law we should not be
surprised to hear that they had been
quietly made prisoners and disarmed,
and either shipped back TO Canada or
allowed to 20 on parole.
There II still another feature of the
plan to squeeze the Klondike devised at
Ottawa which In theory may look we'll
enon gh, but which In practice will be
likely 10 cause good deal of trouble.
We refer TO tho regulation that In all
placer grounds every alternate claim IL
10 be reserved for the government, which
will sell or work IL for the benefit Of
tho revenue of tho Dominion. This II
TO revert to Spanish traditions with q
vengeance. The inevitable effect Of such
law, could 1t be put in force, would
be to deter miners of every nationality,
including Canadians themselves. from
seeking to discover any more placers in
Canadian territory. All the efforts OF
the gold hunters now gathered at klon-
dixie, or ON their way thither, would,
as soon as that district il exhausted, be
directed to finding similar deposits
within tho American boundaries. No
miner, while equally tempting and un-
restricted parts Of the Yukon region are
open to him, will look for placers In q
section where half of the gold bearing
soil laid open by his labors must be set
apart for rapacious government. How
this regulation il to be applied to the
Klondike or to other placers in Canadian
territory which are already under the
spade we are not told.
1t is certain that an attempt TO con-
fiscate one half Of the claims which the
Klondike miners are now working
would be apt to cause q revolution. The
miners would probably meet and declare
their independence of the Dominion
government, after which they would,
no doubt, express q desire for the an
nexation Of the territory, thus pro-
claimed autonomous, to the United
States. That, IL will be remembered, is
precisely what the English uitlanders
at Johannesburg intended to do and
what the British parliament and gov
ernment have virtually approved by re-
fusing to punish Mr.. Rhodes for trying
to further it.-New York Sun.

I tell you that the gods give not-they sell
Their penalty for every golden boon,
Pitiful hucksters, they demand full soon,
And every counter grudging down they tell
Yea, cheat us with base metal unless well
We watch them; strain the quality Of our joy.
And hardest bargainer is Venus boy,
"For SO much heaven so many hours of hell" "
Yet when come unto that shadowy place
OF doom, and the gods taunt me with my
a. pains,
Shall not answer them, though with set face
And anguished eyes: "All depths of bliss

Cast from my heaven, its memory yet re-

Therefore of Lethe's food l will not drink,

or the dark flood wherein no star may blink
pass with hurrying feet. 1 will not Stay
Mine only joy Let memory with me stay
And from your keenest torture I'll not shrink.
Not Like yon inky waters is my soul.
The star Of love is mirrored in my breast.

My heart burns through my bosom like coal.
