EVOLUTION IN SPELLING.
'Milwaukee" Dispute Over Its Derivation and
 Meaning

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
 The origin of the word ''Miiwaukee'' has long been a matter of dispute cheif- ly owing to the fact that the old ee.- tiers have been unable to determine the point on account of a singular contrari- ety of information. The meanings as- cribed to the word have only been equalled in number by ehe modes of spelling-and these have not bean a few. The various ways in which Milwaukee has been written and the dates are as follows:
 Melleoki-Fathers LaSalle and Henne- pin, 1879.
 Millioki-Fathsr Zenobe Membre. 1879.
 Meleki--Old French map of 1884.
 Milwarik-John Buisson De St. Cos me, October T. 1899.
 Milwacky-Lieut. James Correli, Sep tember, 1761.
 Milwakie-Col. Aren't s. De Peyster, Millewackie-Samuel A. Storrow, Ssp- tember 29, 1917. Milwahkie-Dr. JedJdiah Morse, in summer of 1920. Milwalky-Major Irwin to Col Mc- Kenney, October 6, 1921. Milwaukie-In headline of the Sentinel to November 30, 1S44. Milwakee-Noyember 90, 1S44,- to pres ent time.
 The most generally accepted version of the meaning of Milwaukee is that the original Indian word Signified council place. and that here was neutral ground old residents say it is a fact that the Indians regarded the east side of the river as sort of gathering place, the chosen spot for their councils being the hill that used to occupy the place whsre the St. Charles hotsa now stands.

His Sway Ended Forever.

From the Clevs land Leader.
 The man looked as if he had lost his last friend. He sat with bowsd heal and weary eyes, and he made awful looking figures in the sand with his cane.
 Have you lost your job?" was asked in sympathetic tones.
 ''No; it is not thal..'
 Some dear friend has, perhaps, been laid away"
 ''No; I have not been to funeral ' Has the market turned against you?" q never epeculated in my life"
 Perhaps you are sad because others have passed you in the race for wealth or fame?"
 'I don't trouble myself over such trifles. I have enough of this world S goods for any man, and what is fame when the clods begin tumbling in upon a fellows coffin?" R~
 Well, what the dickens is the mat ter with you, anyhow"
 Here come a little closer and I'll tell you. The Sunday papers published d a picture of my wife, and labelled 'her the most beautiful woman at Bath Beach," ~
 "Well, is ehat a thing to feel bad about?"
 'Ts it? Why. man I love herr
 'Of course. All the more reason why you should be proud instead of sitting here like a. boy with a broken toy"
 'Oh say," he gfoaned, you still have to learn the lesson of life. That picture and thosa few words have wrecked my happiness. Do you suppose the most beautiful woman att Bath Beach will ever again be satisfied with the ad- miration and affection of one ordinary man? Do you suppose she will ever again be willing to put up with any thing but box at the opera? Do you suppose that she will ever again permit me to occupy the high seat in our spi- der phae'ton. Pahv'

FATHER BARNUM IN ALASKA.
He Tells Traveller Something About the Eskimo
 Language and Dog Teams.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 Seattle, Sept. 20.-When I stepped aboard the Alasga Commercial compa- ny's naptfda launch from the steamer Portland at St. MiJheal, Alaska, Aug. 5, I did not think that the first man I would meet before putting foot on shore would be one who is wel Iknown to many Raltimoreans.
 As the launch went putting and snort ing up to the wharf a group of Eskimo alad collected about the Harding gazing with curiosity at the launch. MT. Ling. the agent of the Commercial company, was on the launch and began directing the men to take the ropes, so that the boat could be pulled around into a shal- lower place. The Indians did not seem to grasp the situadon, but bright eyed, smiling man, who came hurry.ng down the wharf, did. He rattled off or ders in the Eskimo tongue, and the eff feet was electrical.
 We were quickly alongside 'the landing and climbed up the steps ito where the gentleman stood waiting, smiling at our efforts to make the Eskimo understand. Gn a, moment I was introduced and was shaking hands wl.h the Rev. Franc.s Barnum.
 The history of Father Barnum is too we'll known in Baltimore to need more than casual ment.on- When in the latter part of the sos inc renouncsd the Protest amt Episcopal church and joined the or der of the JesutS, consecrating not only his life, but ilis property to the order. newspapers from one end of Amerca fo the other were full of his story. Today he is happy and content on the far-off shores of the Northwest Alaska, seem- angly having TO regrets for ths step he took.
 Father Barnum looks but little older than when he left Baltimore. His shor, curly hatr is now fiecked with gnay, but this eyes have lost none of their sparkle and his face none of the good nature that so evidently dwells wbshin the man. He has been in Alaska since 1890 in the mis- sonary work of the Roman Cathode church, and is at present stationed Nulato about 800 miles up the Yukon.

INTERESTING LONDON LETTER.
The Priest of "Gretna Green."-New Will
of Queen Victoria.-W Westminster Abbey,
St. Paul's and st. Sepulcher's.
(The Chicago Record.)

LONDON, December. 16.-One of the
pleasantest old English traditions was
recalled last week by the death of Willie
Laing, the last of Gretna Green mar
riage priests Down to a compare
lively recent date the little border viii
lage of Gretna Green was the resort of
couples who, disregarding Mr.. Punch's
advice. rushed into matrimony with all
the speed that postchaise and four
could carry them. The very name
Gretna Green savors of the good old
days of faithful hearts and obstinate
parents. There is no other village in
the world of similar size where so many
lovers have been united. For this the
marriage act which Lord Hardwicke sue
ceeded in having passed in 1854 was re-
sponsible. This act. which was largely
the result of the scandal caused by the
notorious Fleet marriages, provided that
all marriages. with the exception Of
those of Jews and Quakers, should be
celebrated according to the ritual of the
Church of England, and that any person
solemnizing a marriage in any other
place than a church or chapel should be
guilty of felony, and be transported for
fourteen years. In addition to this pen
atty it was provided that such a mar
rage would be illegal.
