Origin of Slang.

Slang is a word originally borrowed
from the gypsy tongue, where it is used
for the secret language of that race. In
it's generally accepted signification it
denotes a burlesque of conversational
language originally found only among
the vulgar, but now employed by all
classes. 1t is by no means of modern
date, being well known in the classic
ages of Greece and Rome, numerous
instances occurring in the writings OF
Aristophanes, Terence, and Martial.

M'KINLEY CONGRATULA QUEEN VICTORIA


dutiful. All that the world could grant,
of wealth and honor, were hers, and her
eldest daughter had been happily married
| to the heir of one of the most powerful
kingdoms of Europe, Frederick of Prus-
sia, a prince whose amable virtues and
intelligence added luster to his brilliant
rank. In May, 1861, the queen lost her
mother, and in December came far
greater blow in the death of the Prince
Consort. The queen met her ereavement
with that vehemence of grief so often
manifested by those who have n life of
unrutf]ed happiness suddenly interrupted
by great sorrow. Her loss so preyed up
on her mind that for number of years
she lived in absolute retirement, avoiding
as far as possible all public and social
duties, indulging her melancholy to the
fullest extent. This spectacle of incon-
solable grief amid the gorgeous surround
ings of royalty produced a great effect
upon the English people, and gave the
queen hold upon their affections which
nothing else, perhaps, could have done
and which remains to-day unchanged and
unbroken.
Becomes EN- press of India.
For fifteen years after the death OF her
husband the queen did not appear before
Parliament In 1876 she again appeared
at the opening of that body, but did not
attempt to read her speech as she had
done in the earlier years. In April, 1856,
an act of Parliament authorized her ma
jesty to assume the title of Empress of
India. In 1887 the jubilee of her reign
was celebrated with much rejoicing, with
professions, speeches and flags galore. A
new coinage was adopted at the mint to
commemorate the year. All the poten-
tates, governments and great men of Eu-

rope showered gifts and congratulations
upon the fortunate queen.
If the queen has set herself strenuouslv
to any one task in her life it has been to
maintain the purity of her court. Before
her time the English court was not gen
orally immaculate and the same was true
of the continental courts. But the queen
has changed all this. Her relations as
wife and mother were a noble example of
what true womanhood should be, and the
very purity of her life shamed others into
patterning after her. On the subject of
court etiquette Queen Victoria is the
most eXacting sovereign in Europe. She
insists upon the observance of every min-
ute detail of ceremony, and the conse-
quence is that every one who comes into
contact with her has to be thoroughly
drilled in the observance of "forms." AS
to her personal appearance the queen has
herself said that she is rather small for
queen" for she is but 4 feet 10 inches
in height. But, despite that, she is. on
occasions, woman of extraordinary dig
nifty.
Attempts Upon Her Life.
Although the queen, from the time of
her succession to the throne, has epioyed
to the fullest extent the respect and af-
fection of her subjects, no less than five
attempts, all, fortunately, unsuccessful,
have been made TO assassinate her-the
first in June, 1910, by crazy lad named
Oxford; another in May, 1912, by John
Francis, who was sentenced to be hang
ed for the offense, but the sentence was
commuted to transportation for life. The
third was in July of the same year by one

THE LYNCHING AT uRBANA.

The lynching at Urbana, Ohio, has
demonstrated one thing. The penalty
of rape is death. The negro had been
given speedy trial for his atrocious
crime and having been found guilty by
the jury was sentenced to 20 years in
the state prison. This was the full
statutory limit of the law for the crime,
but the people would have none of it ;
they took the negro out and gave him
what he deserved death.
The makers of the 20 year law for
rape had never had much experience
with this peculiar revolving and shock
ing crime and placed it upon the statute
books to shame the hot blooded south
erner for his utter disregard for law
under such circumstances.
But it came home at last aud demon
strated that the punishment for rape in
Ohio is INADEQUATE. If the Judge had
been vested with power to pass the
death sentence of the negro and he had
been promptly executed the next day,
the lawful disgrace" of man and the
lives of some OF her citizens would have
been spared Urbana.

chivalry of our men demand death for
this crime, and it will be long time
before civilization, or degradation rath-
er, will tolerate any other penalty for
the violation of the pure and chaste
by the black beast.
Human nature is the same every
where north or southland we should
blush to think there was a community
in the United States that would stand a
20 years sentence for the crime of the
negro at Urbana. The vounted obedi-
ence of law of the north may sheer at

zens of that civilized north will acs just
like his rash brother of the south when

SENATOR JONES' QUEER ACTION.

SENATOR JONES' QUEER ACTION.
If Shakespeare were alive and writing
about the sugar trust scandal he would
probably make Puck say, "What cow
ards these senators be-" instead of,
"What fools these mortals be-" The
Tillman resolution has not been re-
ported to the senate, but it is dead
killed by the fears of some senators and
the absolute cowardice of others. An
investigation is not wanted by either
the sugar trust of its legislative servants,
and there are enough senators so wrap
ped in what they are pleased to call
conservatism and respect for the honor
of the senate who will join in voting
against the resolution when it is re-
ported to the senate to defeat it, Sena-
tor Jones, of Nevada, who is chairman
of the committee to which the resolu-
ton was referred, has acted rather
queerly. He first told Senator Tillman
that the committee would report the
resolution favorably, but now he is op-
posed to that action and has fallen back
on the stock excuse that it is too i'm
portant matter to be hurriedly acted
upon. There is, however, one consola-
ton in the situation. The sugar trust
may escape the exposure that would
follow thorough investigation, but it
will also lose much Of the money it
would have gained by the sugar sched-
ule it had inserted in the tariff bill by
the republicans of the senate finance
committee, as that schedule is as dead
as last years bird nest. How favora-
BILE schedule the trust will be able to
secure is yet to be seen. 1t is fighting
hard, and the subject is one upon which
crooked work can easily be done, as a
sugar schedule is of such technical
nature that it requires careful study,
even on the part of experts to under
stand, and is Greek to ordinary folks.
