Some Copious Languages.

Among all the European languages
the English is the richest so for as the
number of words Is concerned, and it
is also the one which has added to it's
vocabulary the largest number of words
within the last half century. The lat
est English dictionaries contain not less
than 100000 different words. Next in
rank comes the German language, with
S0,ooO words, and then comes in success
sion the Italian. with 80 900, the French,
with 10000, and the Spanish, with 20
600 words. Among the oriental langu-
ages the Arabic is the most copious,
it's vocabulary being even richer than
that OF the English language In the
Chinese language there are 10000 syila-
bles or roots, out of which it Is possible
to frame $4,000 words. Another notable
language is the old Indian Tamil, which
Is now spoken in the south of India,
and which contains, according to the
latest calculations. 67,642 words. IN the
Iurklsh language there are 22 $50
words, and thus it is richer than The
Spanish and some other European
languages. A singular fact Is that
aporiglnes, as rule, have very
limited Vocabularies. The Kaffirs Of
south Africa have at their disposal not
more than 5000 words, and the natives
OF Austria use only 1000 words.

~ HE latest thing in races is an au-
tomobile contest. The Paris
correspondent of the New York
Herald says the manufacturer of a GER
tain French machine has accepted the
challenge of the maker of an American
automobile. The distance will be ap-
proximately one thousand miles, and
the race will probably take place in
France, whose roads are better than
those of this country. The American
manufacturer would prefer to race be-
tween New York and Chicago, but will
not insist to the point of breaking up
the match.
In France the automobile carriage is
making rapid progress in more senses
than one. A speed of thirty miles an
hour has been maintained for nearly
twelve hours. Ten years ago the aver
age time Of railroad express trains be-
tween the cities of Paris and Bordeaux
the route of recent automobile test
was no faster. The high speed attained
by these self-propelled vehicles has
compelled the government authorities
to pass restrictive ordinances. For pur-
pose of identification each vehicle must
have a number and the name of the
owner in conspicuous place. DRIVERS
of such vehicles must obtain a govern
ment certificate of capability and Ii
cense, just as engineers of steam craft
are required to do in United States
waters. On the open highway the speed
limit is restricted to 1917 miles an hour.
1t must be reduced to 1214 miles in pass
ing houses, and to a walking pace in
crowded thoroughfares. Permits for
racing must be obtained from local au-
thorities. when the speed limit is with
drawn, but no racing is permitted past
dwelling houses. Warning signals are
to be given by trumpet and by carry
ing two lamps, one red, the other green.
In this country any such speed as
that stated is out of the questionable
roads are too imperfect OF course, if
the race took place in this country II
would be out Of the question to travel

Another Case of Algerism.

~ ESIDES being incompetent, Sec
rotary Alger is a. pretty small
man every way. Colonel Mosby,
the famous confederate guerilla raider,
tells a story that illustrates the fact,
Mosby says he was unable to serve in
the war with Spain because he would
not ask for political backing to get an
army appointment. He says when the
war broke out he offered his services to
General Miles, who replied that he
would be very glad to recommend him
for a position, but suggested that in
asmuch as political influence was i'm
portant in securing commands, he write
to the senators from California and ask
them to recommend him to the presi-
dent. Colonel Mosby thought that his
fighting record needed no political en-
dorsements when it had the endorse
ments of both Generals Grant and Lee
as to efficacy and he declined to ask
the senator's By way of adjoining the
tale of his failure to get a fighting
chance he tells of meeting President
Mckinley after the Inauguration, when
the president said: "Well, colonel, you
made me more miserable during the
war than any other man I know Of"
II trust I have atoned for it now" Mr..
President" replied the colonel, "for l
both voted and worked for your cleo
ton. 81 did not think it necessary"
he continued, referring to the incident,
"to ask couple of senators to try to
get me a commission, when Mckinley
knew me before he ever heard of them.
l have learned since that the fact that
I was recommended by General Miles
antagonized Alger. I did not then
know Of the enmity between them

Fl The Case of MIR. Palma.

Estrada Palma, the delegate to
this country of the Cuban juuta
has been asked to give an account of
his stewardship. 1t is asserted that not
less than 100000 contributed by "a
triotic Cubans and their sympathizers
passed through Palmas hands, and that
he has never disclosed where it went
to. A short time ago Mr.. Palma startled
the country by asserting that he was
the Cuban junta-it existed solely in
him and had no further organization
whatever. Mr. Palma says that the
money received by the junta, in other
words by himself, did not exceed 81, 0oO,-
900, and that there is on hand a small
uneXpended balance. He placed the
money where in his opinion it would do
the most good-most of it, he says, went
for purposes which must necessarily be
kept secret. 1t would not do to give
away people who for instance, engaged
in fitting out filibustering expeditions
Mr.. Palma is at least plausible. 1t is

Wealth. Beneficent and Maleficent.

From the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.
If a great fortune comes, as a result of
intelligence. perseverance and honest work
it will certainly do no harm and may do
good. But If it is due to spoliation, legal
or illegal; if it is distracted from those
who earn 1t by monopoly privileges of any
kind; If it rests upon any sort of special
privilege, it is a wrong to the community
which cannot be righted by any amount
of charity.

Feeling in the Peace Conference.

From the Philadelphia Record.

arbitration in the abstract, but that their
enthusiasm undergoes a great decline in

which would bring about the desired end.

Aston Has Too Much at Stake.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
If Mr.. Aston is a British subject all his
real estate in this country is the property
of an alien and in the possible event of
trouble with Great Britain at any time
would share the fate of other property
owned by British aliens. Possibly this
may have influenced Mr. Aston to his
course in declaring himself still an Amer
lean citizen.

Tired Of the Reed Rules Now.

From the Springfield, Mass, Republican.
AS long as Reed rules and Reed methods
of running the house operated to crush
the democratic minority they were all
right in republican eyes. But when they
came to be turned against some of the
extravaganza of the administration
plans of conquest and empire that was
another story. This is why the various
republican candidates for the speakership
are now regulating the said methods.
