GOLFING PHILOLOGY.

Derivation of Curious Terms Which Be-
long to the Game.
To the enthusiastic golfer the game is
never out of season. Fitted with faro
tic' goloshes and a warm knitted
waistcoat, he is seen upon the links on
many a day which appears Indictment to
the uninitiated. Perhaps this disregard
of snow and ice is natural when one
comes to look up the derivation of golf
ing terms. Many of the words come d.
rectly from the Icelandic languages,
others have synonyms in Gaelic or
Swedish.
The tee, or little nodule of gravel or
earth from which the golfer strikes off
his ball, at the beginning of each link,
is derived from tia, . an Icelandio verb
signifying to point out y
Again. golf itself evidently comes
from the Scandinavian "kolf, club,
the Gaelic form being "colb'' and the
Icelandic form being "kolfr" "a clapper
Of bell or bulb).
The links come straight from the
Swedish "lynka, . meaning twist"
Or crook = hence its application to the
windings of the coast, the sandy, barren
ground called ''links'' in Scotland.
To put" pronounced putt comes
from the Gaelic put, signifying to
push or throw, as when the useful put
ter' propels the golf ball from the
putting green into the hole.
The "lofter'' is derived from the Ice
landic "loft that is, shy or air-a
Danish form being loft for ceiling or
loft. Inquirer.

GENIUS OF THE ROADSIDE.


How n Statesman's Rustic Protege Was
Helped on Way to Fame.
1.-THE off horse has lost shoe from
the right fore foot, said the coachman,
as he drew up opposite wayside black
smith shop. Shall stop and have it
replaced?"
By all MEANS replied the owner
Of the curriGle, Senator Aaron Burr of
New York, it is always the proper
thing to keep your horses well shod,
and, besides, I am only too glad of a
chance to stretch my legs after SO long
drive. While the smith is busy will
stroll to the top of one Of these beauti-
full Ulster county hills.
When he returned half an hour later,
he happened to glance at the side of a
barn near the shop and saw with sur
prise an accurate though hurriedly
drawn charcoal picture of his ourricle
and horses.
Who drew that?" he inquired.
That little frouzy head yonder,
replied the blacksmith, pointing to a
boy in homespun who was chopping
wood in the dooryard opposite as if his
whole mind was occupied with his task.
Halloo, my lad, /" called Burr, and
when the little fellow looked up with
the air of one who has been caught in
some misdemeanor he added pleasantly,
If ever you want to change your occu-
patton and see life, just put clean
shirt in your bundle and go to this adj
dress in New York, = and he crossed
the road to hand the boy slip of paper.
The team was soon on it's homeward
way, and in short time the incident
passed from the crowded mind of Aaron
Burr. Months afterward, as he sat at
breakfast, servant brought him pack
age containing homemade clean shirt
and said that boy at the door had
asked her to deliver it as an all suffi-
cient introduction. But the senator
could not understand it's significance, SO
he sent for the boy, whom he at once
recognized as the youthful genius of the
roadside.
With all his faults, Burr was gen.
erous man at heart, and he spared
neither pains nor expense to give the
youth the best of instruction in his
chosen profession. From an artistic
point of view the student became very
successful as the great painter Wander
Ign, although he lived life of poverty.
He painted the portraits Of Aaron
Burr and his daughter, Theodosia, from
which were taken the fine engrayings
by which we know them. He died near
the spot where he drew the picture of
the waiting team. His career is noble
monument to the better side of the ma
ture of his benefactor, nature not
wholly devoid of sweetness and light,
although darkened. by frequent clouds
through his mature life and finally
collapsed in the murky gloom of a purely
selfish ambition. Atlanta Constitution.

Meeks Family Murderer Was i'm Tex
as, But He Fled.

A special dispatch to the Globe
Democrat from Kansas City Mo-,
October 26. Another clew 10 George
Taylor. one of the murderers of the
Meeks family, has gone glimme ering.
Ever since the escape of Geo. Taylor
from the Carrollton Jail, four years
ago, many efforts go capture him have
been made. He has always succeeded
in eludiug arrest, and now he has again
slipped out of the clutches of the police
just when they were sure they had
him.
A week ago Detective Charles San
derson, of the local police, received tip
from an old crook that TAYLOR was
living on q ranch twenty miles from
Galveston, Tex, and that he was in the
habit of going to Galveston every
Tuesday, Sanderson quietly slipped
away from town and landed in Gal
weston yesterday, but the bird had
flown. Some one evidently had tipped
Taylor, and he had again disappeared.
He left the ranch Monday, aud no one
seems to know where he has gone.
The murder of the Meeks family at
Brook6eld, Mo-, on the 11th day of
May, 1874, is we'll known to the Mis-
sourians. One of the Taylors, Bill, has
been hanged for the crime, but since
his escape from CarrolltOn George has
proved himself too smart for the pol

GENERAL
KITCHENER
Will Tonight Be Entertained
At A Magnificent
Bandtet.
A POPULAR OVATION
Like Nothing Which Has
Been Seen In England
Since the Days Of
Wellington.

LONDON, Nov. 4.-The freedom of
the city and magnificent sword of
honor, were conferred upon Major
General Kitchener at abe Guild Hall
today.
The sword is of finest steel dam
sscened with gold, the hilt bearing
the sirdar's monogram in diamonds,
rubies and sapphires.
A great crowd lined the route of the
sirdar's journey to the Guild Hall. He
was in full uniform and rode in an open
carriage with three officers.
The crowd greeted Kitche ner with
repeated cheers which he acknowledge
ed by bowling.
The banquet which the city of Lon
don gives to General Lord Kitchener
this evening promises to be one of the
grandest popular ovations that Eng
land of the present generation, or since
the days of the Iron Duke, has accord
ed its victorious heroes of war.
But aside from this fact the affair
will undoubtedly be of vast political
tinental Europe is awaiting the passing
off of the function with the keenest in
terest.
The Marquis of Salisbury, who has
accepted the invitation to speak in
honor of the sirdsr, is expected to let
fall in the course of his remarks hints
as to the views and intentions of the
government as regards the momentous
questions of foreign policy now agitat-
ing the nation.
Other members of the cabinet are ex-
pected to make some stirring declara-
tions on the same subjects, while Sir
William Vernon Harcourt and some of
his liberal colleagues will be present
to voice the sentiments of the opposi-
tion.
Incidentally, the banquet will be of
some interest as being the last public
affair over which the president lord
mayor will preside, with the exception
of his participation in next Wednes-
day 's, ceremonies attending the induc-
tion of his successor into Office.

LEGALLY KILLED
A Successful E1eCtroCution In
Columbus.

COLUMBUS, Nov. 4. - At 1890 this
morning the murderer Charles Nelson
died in the electric chair. His elsctro-
cution was in many respects the most
successful which has yet been accom-
plished.
The crime for which Nelson was ex-
ecuted was a murder of the most fend-
ish description. Nelson was a negrc
of bad character, having served one
term in the penitentiary for grand lar
ceny. He had a friend, however, in
James Zimmerman, who kept q small
grocery in Bowling Green, whom he
brutally murdered on being refused a

PHILIPPINE
QUESTION
Brings the Peace Commits
sion To the Verge
Of Rupture
DARES NOT DEFY
But Her Commissioners An
nounce They Cannot
Consider Our Terms
Admissible

PARIS, Nov. 4. - The American aid
Spanish peace commissioners met in
joint session this afternoon. The Span
iards presented a reply to the Ameri-
can proposal to take the Philippines
and pay Spain cash indemnity.
No one believes the reply will state
any final resolution on the part of
Spain which might cut the negotia-
tions off short. The Madrid govern
ment dare not let the war reopen. A
decisive refusal to comply with the
United States's demands means break,
and break may mean the reopening of
the war.
In her endeavor to exc out q million
or so more in the settlement of the
Philippines question Spain will go any
lengths short of resumption of hos
tilities.
Although apparently pinned to q
definite answer and stand today, the
Spanish commission will wriggle again
through the loopholes of qualification
and counter proposition to further ne
gotiations.
In them lies their only hope.
MADRID, (via Biarritz France,) Nov.
4.-Sagasta after long consultation
with the queen regent today, sponta
neously declared to q number of news
paper correspondents that he hardly
expected that the Americans would
abandon their pretensions in the mat
ter of the Philippines.
The government, he said, had instruc-
ted Senior Montero Rios, the head of
the Spanish peace commission, to de-
fend Spain's last claims to the utmost,
obtaining all possible concessions.
The Spanish commissioners, Senior
Sagasta said, would in no case retire,
because such step was equivalent to
rupture and renewal of hostilities,
in which case he fears the Americans
would bonn bard the Cana ries, the Afri-
can Spanish colonies. and Spanish
ports, Spain being quite unable to re-
sist.
The newspapers are indignant at the
declaring that they regard
It as impossible to obtain from them
usticeato Spain.
A cabinet council has been called for
tonight to hear the news from Senior
Montero Rios, who is expected to ar
rive from Paris.
PARIS. Nov. 4.-The joint peace
com mission sat for two hours TODAY
md adjourned until next Tuesday.
The Spanish commissioners submit
led their reply to the Americans pro-
oosals in regard to the Philippines,

Representing Many Trunk
Lines Of the Traffic
Association
WILL NOT ABANDON IT
Without A Heroic Struggle
To Continue The Agree
ment In Some
Form.

NEW YORK, Nov. The largest
gathering of railway presidents New
York has seen for many years assem-
bled here today in response to the
call of Chsuncey NJ. Depew. chairman
of the board of control of the joint traf-
fic association.
The purpose of the meeting is to
decide upon the future existence of the
big traffic association which the Unit
ed States supreme court has decided is
: contrary to the antitrust law.
Thirty-three trunk lines form the
association and all are represented in
the conference by their presidents or
chief executive officers, together with
formidable array Of legal counsel.
What course will be decided upon is
the subject of much speculation, the
belief being general that the railroads
will not abandon their association for
the maintenance of rates without a
heroic struggle to continue il in some
form or another.
Railroad officials are generally un-
willing to talk for publication about
the matters to come up for discussion.
1t Is generally thought, however,
> that the dissolution OF all the other ex
listing railway associations of the coun-
try as well as the joint traffic associa-
tion is inevitable. The existence of
these bodies had not had the effect of
putting stop to rate cutting and some
railway men are inclined to
i'll 49, ,rsl
get along fairly we'll by institutiug the
system of "gentlemen's agreement
as a substitute for the associations.
Others declare that it will be absolute
-ly necessary for the welfare of the
roads for congress to make new legis-
lation.
Aldsce F. Walker, chairman of the
board of directors of the Atchison road
said to Tribune reporter:
''This decision makes action by con-
gress imperative, as the railroad busi-
ness cannot be conducted in conformity
with the antitrust statute as construed
by the supreme court"
President Fink of the Norfolk and
Western said that he had fully expect
ed that the supreme court would de-
eide against the railroads.
Nevertheless" he added, Il be-
lieve, as 1 always have believed, that
rate agreements are not in restraint of
trade, but on the contrary, facili-
tate It. The railroads will now have
to shape their organization to fit the
law"
1t is thought that the board of con-
troll may perhaps change the joint traf-
fio agreement so greatly as to make
the association in the future nothing
more than bureau of information.
