"the Inhabitants Of that city Of every

poorer residents, suffer untold hardships
in consequence Of the scarcity of drinking
water. At the present time they depend
principally upon this supply collected in
cisterns from tho rains which fall during
the rainy season - from December to
March. Some Of tbs water flows, in tho

The year 1897 was marked year for
the great English dictionary Of the Phil
illogical society. The third volume was
completed, and Queen Victoria was pleased
to sanction the dedication to her majesty
Of the Oxford English Dictionary on tho
sixtieth anniversary Of her accession. The
formal adoption of the work by the great
English university was further marked by
dictionary dinner" In the hall Of
Queens college. at which the vice chan
cellor Of the university entertained DIR.
Murray, Mr.. Bradley and others concerned
in the production Of the New English
Dictionary on Historical Principles, now
fairly christoned the Oxford English Die
tionary.
This is the fortieth year since the Phil.
illogical society began it's work upon the
dictionary. II Is the twentieth save one
since Dr. Murray took it In hand. The
dictionary Is now printed as far In the
alphabet as the great German historical
dictionary was printed at the death of the
last of the Grimms, and 1t has treated
100, 600 words. A generation Of workers
prepared materials. The leaders of sec.

OF their work. When the literary workers

cans mentioned with thanks In the carly

in the later the Rev. J. Pierson had long
since sent in Sc, GOO quotations, Professor
Phillips of West Chester 1000, while Fitz-
edward Hall ranks with Mr.. Furnival in

The dictionary Is pronounced 1.-THE
greatest effort probably which any uni
versity, 1t may be any printing press, has
taken In hand since the invention of print
ing, labor beyond the scope Of private
enterprise. It will not be the least of the
glories Of the University of Oxford to have
completed this gigantic task"

So, 446 More than 1000, 900 slips of them
had been prepared when DR.. Murray be-
gan his work. He announced in volume
that In the next three years 900, 600 moro

mentions many new names of readers, AL

Some of these words In D use up heaps

was escorted to the building in a fast

tendent of the cotton mills, presided
and General w. II. Koontz, of Somer-
set, made the opening speech, in which
his mention of the name of Mr. Wanna
maker as the candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for governor
evoked applause.
Mr.. Wanamaker spoke for nearly two
hours, saying in the course of his adj
dress that corruption at its worst and
the commercialism of politics are the
chief characteristics of Pennsylvania.
and that profligacy, extravaganza and
boss rule Cypress the people.
IT am told" he said, that political
promises have been made this week in
your county which will cost the tax
payers tens of thousands Of dollars,
solely for the purpose Of perpetuating
the power of the bosses, to elect a
Quay legislature and Quay delega-
ton to the state convention.
For Is years the control Of the
office of state treasurer has been the
citadel of Senator Quay's power; 1t is
believed to have yielded annually a
campaign fund Of not less than 100000,
m6rtgaging influential bankers and af-
fording unlimited credit to borrow vast
sums for personal campaigns, and ex-
hibiting incumbents who, entering up
on the office of state treasurer poor,
and on $4,000 salary. in two years re-
tire with a competency"
Mr.. Wanamaker averred, as an illu-
stration of the extent to which the
state moneys were manipulated, that
a Philadelphia bank, whose president
is one of Quay's old lieutenants," a
private institution capitalized at $780,
900, has continuously carried deposit
ranging from 100000 to $1,200,0O0 OF
state funds. In conclusion Mr.. Wanna
maker charged that lin ten years the
Quay machine has taken from the tax
payers $1,25O,OoO and in 20 years ST.
900, 000."
