There Was a Time When the Globe Was
In Their Possesslon.
There was a time lin the wide revolv-
ing shades OF centuries past" when the
globe was wholly in the possession OF
walking, swimming and flying rep
tiles" says an exchange. Being the
dominant type, they divided naturally
into three great classes.
In the oceans they became gigantic,
padding enaliosaurians; on dry land
or. rather, wet land, for the whole sur
face of the globe was doubtless a quag-
mre at that time-they became mon
strous, erect dinosaurians. some of
which had legs Is feet or more in
length.
Those which inhabited the regions of
the air were the terrible flying ptero-
tlactyls. For a vast but unknown
length Of time these awful creatures
literally ruled the earth. Then one by
one they died out in the face of the
younger and more vigorous fauna until
at the present time only few miniature
alligators and 'crocodiIcs. few toy
snakes and skulking lizards and geckos
as reminders of the enormous
reptilian types that once crowded land

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
Il aas Undergone More Changes Thar
Auy Other.

IL Has Undergone More Changes Than
ANY Other.
English has changed more than any
other language, regarded merely as a
reutonic language. 1t is farthest re-
moved from the parent stock. II Is
descended from the Saxon, which is the
Parent of Low German and Dutch, and
us it were the grandparent of Eng
lish. But besides the Teutonic part
which is the ground work of the Ian
guage, it has suffered all the effects OF
lengthy Roman occupation. This
has had great influence on the Ian
guAge and has introduced many words
into it. II must be remembered also
that French was for long period the
Official language of the country. This
had an even greater effect on the
tongue. Finally it has not entirely
lost all traces of the early Celtic occu-
patton. This combination has pro-
duced the most varied, rich and flexible
language that exists.
Greek has changed least. Anyone
who wishes to satisfy himself OF the
truth of this statement need only take
down four authors, like Herodotus,
Plutarch. Anna Commend and Trikupi.
He will find, IL he can translate one,
that he can translate the others; and
this though they wrote respectively
$50 years before Christ, and 70. lilo,
and l,S60 years after.

5000 CLAMOR FOR WORK.
Gather on the Canal at Buffalo and
Resiege a Contractor.

Buffalo, Jan. 6.-An army 1000 strong
went down to the canal on Monday to
ask for work There are two canal
contracts under way in the city. Con-
tractor Donnelly, who has the one at
the upper end, has about $50 men at
work It has been the boast of any
number of men for months that II they
got hard up this winter they were go
ing to turn in on the canal and so get
through the cold weather. So they
tried it in body
When Contractor Donnelly went doWn
to begin work on Monday morning he
found the men out of a job standing
four or five deep on both sides of the
canal. so that he could do nothing until
he had driven them out of the way
It was a pitiful sight, so many people
begging for something to do ThIs Is
the time of the year when more men
are out of work than at any other time
There are many factories making re-
pairs and taking inventory. So no one
is really disturbed, and there is no
thought of any special provision for the
men. especially as it is known that
great part of the idle men are loa1ng
about and merely went to the canal our
of curiosity.

WAR OVER NETHERSOLE.
Manager Frohman Wants Her in GA
Lady of Quality" but Mrs. Bur-
nett Does Not

Washington, Jan. 6.-There is a great
to do over a sensational difference
which has just sprung into existence
between Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett
and Charles Frohman, in regard to the
staging of her dramatization of her la
test novel, "A Lady of Quality
It all happened because of the fact
that Mrs. Burnett's choice of a leading
lady to play the part of Clorinda Wild
airs has fallen upon Miss Eleanor Cal
houn, who accompanied her from Lon
don some time since for the purpose of
giving all necessary time to perfecting
herself in the part.
Olga NetherSOle is, in the opinion of
Mr.. Frohman, the actress who will be
most acceptable to the public. With
this idea. in mind Mr. Frohman and
Mrs. Burnett have had numerous con-
ferences of late that have been, to say
the least, decidedly interesting and very
spirited
Mr.. Frohman insists upon Olga Meth
erSole. Mrs. Burnett, on the other hand
is as firmly convinced that her selection
of Miss Calhoun is a happy inspiration
to which she means to cling in the face
of -remOnstrance, opposition, entreaty,
and everything that might, could, or
would be said by Mr.. Frohman or the
great American public.

ROASTS SENATOR WOLCOTT
Philadelphia Ledger Places Him on
the Spit

Washington, D. c. Jan. 6-Silver men
still refuse to attach any Importance to
the mission of Senator WoIcott to Eng
land to confer there with bimetallists,
with a view to bringing about another
international conference
The Philadelphia Ledger, one of the
strongest gold standard organs in the
east, says editOrially:
Senator Wolcott was elected by the
Colorado legislature, presumably to
represent that state in the United States
senate. Instead of attending to his
duties in Washington he has sailed for
Europe on propaganda of bimetallism.
If his state paid his salary, or if he
served, as members of the British par
lament do, without pay, there need be
little criticism of his course, for his alb
sence from the senate will give the ma
jority in that body a better chance to
do business than it would if he were
present to join with the other silver
senators in obstructive tactics, but so
long as the nation pays him for his
services it would seem that the ma
ton is entitled to them, and that not
on self-appointed mission, but in his
proper place in the senate chamber

Is PLATT AN ANARCHIST?
Prof. Smith Says the easy Boss" is a
Distributor of Corruption Funds.

New York Jan. 6-In an address to
the Woman's League for Political Edu-
cation, at No. % West Forty-fourth
street yesterday afternoon, Prof. Chas-
Sprague Smith made an attack on
Thomas c. Plat and on the United
States senate. His subject was The
Present Responsibilities of the Guilt
waited Classes" He said:
1T is not denied that there is GER
tain man in this state who is all pow
erful, who is going to the senate at
once; a man who is acting as the dis
trihutor of the corruption fund of cor
porations.
Now I would like to ask who is the
anarchist of this state? We have per-
mitted through our criminal neglect all
this sort of thing to so on until bossism
holds its hand on the throat of our
state and threatens to strangle it.
In national legislation, what are the
two things that impress the common
man? They are the uttermost selfish
ness and uttermost incompetency that
prevail at Washington. 1 do not know
which is the greater, the selhshness or
incompetency; they are running a good
race with each other We have no rea<-
son to be proud of the men who are sit
ting in our legislative chambers.

Many colored men have been whipped

ROSE FROM THE DEAD.
Singing Brings a Boy From Deep
Trance.

Washington. Del, Jan. 6.-The doc
tors of this city are puzzled over the re-
markable case of Frank Dougherty,
who lives at Newport small town four
miles below this city, and who died on
Tuesday night and suddenly returned
to life on Friday, during funeral serv-
ices. He is IA years old and the son of
a farmer.
A wake was held over the corpse on
Thursday night, and the ceremony con-
tinued until daybreak. One of the
mourners, Dennis McDougal, a cousin
of Mrs. Dougherty, sat beside the corpse
all night, and while the other mourners
were asleep he noticed that the corpse
twitched a little. He summoned Mrs.
Dougherty and she awakened the other
mOurnerS.
The party waited patiently for six
hours to see if the McDougaI story was
one of fact or merely an illusion, and at
the end of this time they began prepa-
rations for the funeral services. They
formed in a circle about the coffin, and
when the priest finished his sermon
they commenced to sing q hymn.
Hardly had they began to sing when
the corpse opened its eyes and then sat
up and peered about the room. Mrs.
Dougherty spoke to the boy and he
gave her a faint answer.

Boise Penrose VIII Be PennsyI-
vania's Senator.
Was Chosen by Republican
Caucus Last Night.
A VICTORY FOR QUAY.
PenrOse's Selection is a Signal
Triumph For Him.
Wanamaker Declares He Will
Still Fight Quay.

Harrisburg Pa, Jan. 6.-The factional
Republican contest for the succession to
the seat in the United States senate oe-
cupied by ]. Donald Cameron, which has
kept the people of the state in fever
heat for many weeks. was finally settled
last night in the joint party caucus of
the Republican mem berS of the legisla-
ture who chose State Senator Boise Pen
rose of Philadelphia, as the man upon
whom the honor shall be bestowed OF
the 215 Republicans in the legislature III
We're present and voting. OF the votes,
Penrcse received 1873; John Wanamaker
70; Senator Cameron 1; Congressman John
B. Robinson 1 and Superior Court Judge
Charles E. Rice of Wilkesbarre l.
The place has been conceded to Phila-
delphia from the start and the fight was
thus narrowed down to Wanamaker and
Penrose.
The latter received the support of Sena-
tor Quay and his success is q great vic
tory for that leader. Mr.. Wanamaker
was backed by the faction of which David
Martin is the leader. assisted by a strong
organization of business men in nearly
every county. Much bitterness was ex-
hibited on both sides.
Senator John c. Grady who afterwards
cast the single vote received by Mr.
Cameron, was the caucus chairman, while
the caucus was deciding the senatorship,
Senator Quay remained at the Penrose
headquarters in a hotel near the capitol
awaiting the news of his victory and Mr..
Wanamaker was surrounded by large
gathering of Philadelphia business men
at a rival hotel. Even while the death
kneli of his senatorial aspirations was
being sounded, Mr.. Wanamaker was PLAN
ming to continue the fight against Senator
Quay in the state Al a big meeting OF
his supporters. Mr. Wanamaker made
speech in which he declared his inten-
tion of carrying the fight against Senator
Quay into every county, and to contest
with him the right to name the party
candidates for state treasurer and auditor
general. Senator Quay s term expires in
March. 1899. and according to Mr.. Wana@
makers friends. the business men will
continue their organization with the OBJ
ject of defeating Mr.. Quay, should he be
a candidate for reelection
Boise PenroSe was elected to the state
house of representatives from Phiadel-
phia in 1885 and to the senate a year later
and has been reelected since, being Stin
a member of that body. Two years ago
Senator Penrose was Z. candidate for the
office of mayor of Philadelphia. and was
the apparent choice of the. Republican
ward combine" headed by David Martin.
Within "a hours of the convention how
ever he was dropped by that body and
Charles L. Warwick, the present mayor
chosen in his stead. This precipitated the
bitter fight which has since been waged
between Martin and Senator Quay, who
has been Penrose's sponsor. and it was
only a few days after the convention that
Quay made his welI-remembered speech
on the floor of the United States senate
attacking Mr.. Martin.
