The philologists will find their diver sion in the suggestion of MT. John Bris- ben Walker that an international lan- guage shall be created by their help. He wishes probably an improved Vola- puk. Of course, no language consid erer of ability will give the scheme a moments thought. The words uttered in Anglo-Saxon do not convey the same meaning to those not of Anglo-S Saxon descent. No education can transform either bodies or minds The proposal to make an international language is equivalent to the suggestion that a brotherhood of mankind is possible. That is not in view just now, though I have heard that 1t has been arranged for in heaven. We are not there yet.
 The "Hasta Manana" of the Spaniard means to him "Hasta Manana" alone. It neither means the "Au revoir'' of the Frenchman nor the "Good-by; see you again" of the Anglo-Saxon. It never will till we can turn a Spaniard into Frenchman at order. MT. Walker should essay that task before attempt ing to induce nations to take part in a revised Volapuk. Weyler would be good subject to start on. but l am afraid he will find that gentleman more of confirmed CaStilian than he is aware of.
 In the matter of impertinence the Ex- aminer has at length managed to sur pass itself-which is saying much. On Wednesday last it published some pie lures of what it called its War corre- spondents,' one of whom was said to be Jimmy Creelman. On it's first page, however, this piece of mendacity was somewhat upset by an article said to have emanated from Creelman in Lon- don. Possibly the Examiner-J Journal outfit has declared war against Great Britain while Congress talked peaceful appropriations. But what a precious lot of beauties these so-called War correspondents werei Alfred Henry Lewis (of whom more anon) who saw

TIE idea Of the jamestown Alert, that
the pubic land in North Dakota should be
sold to the highest bidder. is several years
ahead of its time The Alert believes that
nearly all Of the farming land in the state
has now been disposed Of, and that the
stock business Of North Dakota would be
largely augmented by selling the remain
ing range land. The Alert would prevent
large holdings Of the land by one person,
and would do tins by limiting the sale to
small areas. But by what method the sale
of lands by the many to the few, after title
had been obtained from the government,
could be prevented, the Alert fails to state.
AS matter Of fact, there are tens and hun.
dreds Of thousands Of acres of good farming
land yet owned BY the government in North
Dakota. Why. the newspapers are full Of
statements Of the phenominal fling records
of the land ofnces, and settlers are coming
in all over the state. It would be the height
of folly to sell the land to the highest bid.

FRANK A. BEAMISH'S DEATH.
Circum stances Indicate That 1t Was
IN Accident.

an Accident.
Yesterdays Free Press.
Frank A. Beamish died at his office
in Plttston last Thursday night.
The circumstances surrounding the
death prove conclusively that it was
accidental. The facts are gathered
from Mr.. Snyder, the insurance agent,
who occupied the office Jointly with
Mr.. Beamish.
Mr.. Beamish's home is in Avoca. He
had been in Pittston on business on the
evening of his death and had missed
the last car. He then went to the office
to do some work in connection with his
employment on this paper and the New
York Journal and to sleep there for
the night.
Extending from the wall over the fiat
top desk in the room is a gas jet which
is seldom or never used. Mr. Snyder
states that the key which is used to
shut off and turn on the flow of gas
has been loose for long time. When
Mr.. Beamish went to sleep last Thurs
day night his feet rested upon this
fiat top desk, while his body lay in
the chair. During his sleep his feet
struck the loosened key, it dropped out
and asphyXiaton quickly came When
Mr.. Snyder found the body next morn
ing, the loosened key lay upon the desk
and the room was filled with gas. AS
he stepped into the room, Mr.. Beamish's
overcoat fell from its nail on the inside
of the door. This gave rise to the false
rumor that the overcoat had been
placed at the threshold of the door.
Mr.. Beamish was a young man of
great ambition, unusually cheerful dis
position, and much promise. He was
| % years of age. A wife and child sur
vive him. The funeral will take place
| tomorrow.

KANE IS A CRACK.
Bobby Dobbs' Opponent Has a
Record to BE Proud OF.

An interesting history is possessed by
"Soldier" Kane, who on Wednesday
night will box twenty rounds with Bob
by Dobbs before the American Sport
ing club in Music hall. He was in the
regular United States army service
and for three years before his discharge
was styled the lightweight champion
of the United States army"
Wherever Kane's command was To-
Gated he he'd to do battle with the
crack boxers there located. Usually
one or two meetings was enough to pre-
serve his title, though he several times
had to engage in five or six contests
to preserve his championship. After
leaving the service he defeated all the
notable Pacific coast lightweights and
late last summer came east from San
Francisco with mysterious Billy Smith.
Kane'S only eastern battle was last
September VIXEN in eight rounds at
Troy he defeated Billy Stetfers. Stef-
ferS has the credit of being one Of the
very few men who ever gained a decision
over Kid Mccoy. Sporting men who
know a boxer when they see one, con-
slider Kane one of the best in the busi-
ness at his weight His most pro-
nounced characteristics in the ring are
his quickness, hard hitting and eXcep-
tiOnal foot work
Dobbs very well knows the character
of his opponent and seems to be too old
at the game to be drawn into a defeat
by over-confidence. He will operate
against Kane with the same general
ship and masterful style of boxing that
| has won him nearly 400 decisions dur
| ing his career. He is now resting
! quietly in Carbondale. As Dobbs new
| er drinks. smokes or dissipates in any
! way his admirers are not at all anXi'

STABBlNG AFFRAY.
James Welsh Has Narrow Escape
from Death.

In a row that occurred at NJ. J. Kel-
ly's hotel on the South Side, last even
ing about 6 o'clock, James Welsh was
stabbed by his brother-in law, VIII Os-
borne. An ugly wound was inflicted on
Welsh's neck, near the jugular vein.
The affair was the result of an old
grudge. The men married sisters, but
have frequently quarreled, and Welsh
has usually been the victor in the en-
counters. Last night the men had been
drinking and the wrangling was re-
newed, when Osborne whipped out a
knife and made a lunge at Welshs
neck. The blade missed the jugular
vein by very narrow margin.
Welsh was removed to his home,
which was not far away, and the doc
tors think that he will recover. Os-
borne was arrested and placed in the
Jail to await the results of Welsh's
wounds.
