"MY UNCLE" AND "MY AUNT. Z"
How the Two Terms First Came to
he Used in England by
Young Prince.

An ingenious French writer has been
explaining to curious world, says the
London News, why the pawnbroking
establishments are called my aunt"
(Ma tante.) The Prince de Joinville,
son Of Louis Philippe, was kept very
short of money in his youth. One day
the father noticed that the prince was
not wearing splendid gold watch that
had been given to him by his mother.
Where is your watch?" asked the bour-
geoise king. "At my aunt's," was the
reply. Princess Adelaide was interro-
gated on the subject, but she knew
nothing about it. Then the young scape-
grace admitted that he had pawned it.
my aunt" therefore, became proverb-
ial for the Mont-de-Piete. But then it
may be asked, how it comes about that
the pawnbroker in England is face
tiously spoken of as uncle" The
French writer is quite equal to the oc.
casion. The English say "uncle" be-
cause the French say "aunt." Here in
England everything goes by contraries
The French coachman drives on the
right, the English on the left; the
French soldier has red trousers, the
English soldier a red coat; the French
man eats an oyster out of the hollow
half of the shell, the Englishman out OF
the fiat half; the French epicures drink
champagne after dinner, the English
epicure during dinner, and so forth
1t is all n case of pure "cussedness."

HARTMANN ON THE STAND
Major of Artillery Strong Witness
For the Defense.


Rennes, Sept. 2.-In response to ques-
lions from Maitre Labori and M. De-
mango, counsel for the defence, Mai.
Hartmann said any officer attending
the Chalons camp could have obtained
sufficient information to write notes on
the covering of troops and Madagascar
matters.
M. Labor then recalled Gen. Mer-
ciers attack on Capt Freystaetter, on
the latter's declaration that the secret
dossier. communicated to the court of
1894, contained a document concerning
a shell, for which Gen. Mercier called
the captain a liar. Mai Hartmann,
today, affirmed that 1t was quite posi-
BILE that particulars about a certain
shell should have leaked out in 1894
An interesting conformation between
Gen Deloye and Maj Hartmann fol-
lowed the general declaring he did not
believe the major was keeping strictly
to the truth. Deloye then proceeded to
point to what he said were inaccura-
cies in Mai. Hartmann's testimony. He
insisted that Dreyfus, in the course of
conversation with artillery officers.
could have secured information on the
subjects mentioned in the bordereau,~ to
which the major retorted that, If any
artillery officer had been questioned by
Dreyfus, he would already have come
forward to say SO, as a matter OF strict
duty.

and M. Demange, said the inventor of

A GREAT RACE IS EXPECTED.

When Thomas E. Holland and James
match race at the oval tomorrow after
noon, the spectators will have wit
messed the star sporting event of the
year.
Last night the sole discussion among
followers of the cinder path and sport
ing enthusiasts in general was regard
ing the referees decision at the close
of the Misunderstanding burst of speed
which will carry the men down tbs
homo stretch and to the tape, one to
the winners purse of $780, and the other
to defeat, but not disgrace. So evenly
are the men matched that the referee S
decision is believed to be the most i'm
portant factor in the outcome tomor-
row. Holland as game runner has few
equals. Mclaughlin as an amateur
showed hic heels to the Geetest in New
England, and as lad without an ounce
of faint heart or the slightest tinge of
a yellow streak, has national reputa-
ton. 1t will be- McLaughlin's first
appearance in the professional ranks.
but in al contests of running, speed
and headwork are important factors,
and the game little runner is accredited
with being the possessor of both these
qualifications of a successful cinder
path follower.

years old. AT the Spencer track he won

ARGEGULA TAKEN.
Col. Byrne Captures Chief
Stronghold Of Native
Negros Pirates.

Manila, Sept. 2, $50 p. m.-Argekula,
the most impregnable stronghold of the
bands which have been destroying
property of the people of Negroes, has
been taken by the Sixth infantry, COM
manded by Col. Byrne. The only means
of reaching the town was up a perpen-
dicular hill, covered with dense shrub
berry and thousand feet high. Sew
eral men were hit and rocks were rolled
down upon the infantrymen. The ma
tives' strength was estimated at 400.
Many of the rebels were wounded and
captured and q were killed. The Am
erican forces captured a quantity OF
stores and destroyed the Notifications.
The shipping commissioner of Maya
la, a Filipino, hitherto in high stand
ing, has been arrested, charged with
confiscating half Of the months sal
aries of the department. 1t is repre-
scented that he held a commission in
the insurgent army and was raising
funds for the instruction. But it is
suspected that his operations were
merely private blackmail.
The information resulting in the ar
rest of the shipping commissioner
reached the chief of police through a
sailor who is not in sympathy with the
insurrection.

than doubled their coin, so big were the
odds against Holland.
He has never appeared in Worcester
except on that occasion. Every year
he visits western Massachusetts and
New York state, and comes home with
pot of money. Records amount to
nothing to followers of professional foot
running. Holland has always been to
the cinder path. in small way, what
Ten Eyck is in sculling event. Like
the champion amateur oarSman, Hol-
land never makes grandstand finishes
for the sake of losing the other man. 1t
/ has been his game to beat out his COM
petitors by distance enough to be as
sured of first prize money. This bit
or professional shrewdness on his part
has kept Holland big money winner
without being always picked to win.
At Springfield last Labor day, Hol-
land heard of a chance to win money.
That settled it. He went to that city
and in the half-mile scratch race joshed
along with the bunch until he thought

Mr.. Bates closed by thanking those
present for honoring him by their
presence.
Rev. Nels Eagle was then called on
He referred to Mr. Bates as a mar
thoroughly conversant with the re-
quirements of the middle closes. He
believes it is a good thing to get goot
men into politics now ana then. He
was aware that an idea prevailed
among some people that none but bac
men and schemers went into politics
and for this reason many excellent mer
keep away from political office.
He characterized Mr.. Bates as a mar
who knows many things and knows
them well. A man not so high up in the
world but that he could see the man low
down, and not so low but that he could
reach up, representing the great middle
classes. A man is a man whether he be
born in a farm house or a palace, anC
as long as he conducts himself in a
proper manner, is worthy of respect

Eagle, whom we may meet and shake

Mr.. Eagle referred to the Office Of
lieutenant governor as but stepping
stone to the higher office, and expressed
desire to see Mr.. Bates governor OF
Massachusetts. He urged voters to come
out to the caucuses and to the polls or
election day and vote for Hon. John l.

In referring to the other candidate

you please, he is an aristocrat and

New York, Sept. 2.-Sir Thomas Lip
ton, owner of the challenging yacht
Shamrock, and the steam yacht Erin,
visited the latter yacht after the rain
storm this morning After luncheon on
