Burr's Fierce Retort.

Aaron Burr at one time attended a
church in Albany where all the aris-
tocracy Of the town was to be found on
each Sunday. Soon he fell into the
practice Of being late. and finally the
wardens of the church asked the min
lister to reprimand him openly. On the
next Sunday, when Burr entered late
as usual, the minister stopped in the
middle of his sermon and said, "Sir, I
shall appear at the judgment seat
against you'll"
& Burr gazed at him placidly and an
swered. .'Sir, in all Of my practice !
have found that class of criminals that
turns states evidence the most to be
despised' There were no more public
reprimands in that church.

How to Pronounce Albany.

: The common usage Of pronouncing
the name of our city as though it were
spelled ALBANY has SO long prevailed
that it will probably surprise many
readers to be told that the first syllable
of the name is properly short and
should be pronounced like the Al in Al
fred and Albert. Edwin Forrest, who
was an accurate orthoepist, called this
city Albany, not ALBANY or Anvil:

The Many LnnEuagesaThata Are SpO-#
ken In the British Isles.
Perhaps to many people it will be
great surprise to learn that very ccS-
siderable percentage of rhe native born
inha bitants Of the British isles cannot
speak English.
Naturally, the vast majority do use
it as the language of their birth, but in
Wales there are as many as 5OS, OBS
persons who speak only Welsh, the
mother tongue Of the principally.
Again, in the highlands Of Scotland
Gaelic is the colloquial language of 49,
1913 persons, who are able to speak
nothing else. In Ireland SO, 121 sons of
Erin can speak only Erse, the native
Irish tongue.
That Erse is being displaced by the
tongue of the sister isle is made evident
by the fact that the Rev. Joseph Bos-
worth, writing in 1848, gave Irish as
the commonly spoken tongue Of nearly
5000, 900 inhabitants At that time
Welsh was spoken by 1000 200 per-
sons.
Strangely enough, while. in Wales
fewer people speak both English and
Welsh than Welsh alone, in Scotland
ALMOST five times as many people use
both languages as those who speak
Gaelic only, and in Ireland the proper
ton is still greater, being 20 speaking
both to one who is able to speak Irish
only. 81 ,.....5r .......s - -a
Manx is spoken in the Isle of Man
The population Of the island is IS, 598
The people are Of Celtic extraction, with
an intermixture of Norwegian. The is-
land was under the rule Of Norway
from $40 to 1868 A. D. Both Manx and
English are used in the PRONUNCIATION
Of any new law in the island.
! The Channel islands have popula-
ton Of about 80, 900, and the language
spoken is French. Thus six languages
are used in the British isles.

A Ruse by Which Kipling Piqued
His Readers Curiosity.
''When I first began to read Kip
ling" said a New Orleans admirer,
''my curiosity was immensely piqued
by the scraps Of verse with which he
usually headed his early stories. They
were all credited to poems I had never
heard Of. in my life and were just such
salient, striking fragments as would
naturally whet ones appetite for the
remainder. For over year tried hard
to locate those mysterious poems and
enlisted half a dozen book dealers in
the search. At last one of them wrote
me that I was wasting time and that
the alleged quotations were merely Mr..
Kipling's little joke. r..
"In other words, he manufactured
EN- to order and stuck them at the top
Of his tales for the sake Of the odor of
erudition they lent to the production. I
was mad for awhile, but when | cooled
off had a good big laugh. Of course
you know Scott used to do the same
thing, and so, for that matter, did Edgar
Allan Poe. Poe was really the worst
quotation fakir of the lot.
"He would write wise sounding de-
tached sentences and credit them to
imaginary German philosophers with
long, outlandish and impressive names.
However, I don't know why the thing
should be punishable. The business
of writer of fiction is to create an H.
fusion, and as long as he does it for
one am not particular what means he
employs to contribute to the end. -

Foul Play Was Suspected In the Case

Waycross Ga, June 12.-Considerable
excitement was caused in and near
schlatterville by the finding of the body
of Mr.. Q. Phillips, one of the Oldest citl-
zens of that community.
A report that he was missing from
home reached the church at Schlatter-

progress, and a searching party was or
ganized Immediately. / was not long be-
fore the body was found in Big creek an
inquest was held and after carefully go
ing into all the facts obtainable in regard
20 the affair. the jury rendered a verdict
to the effect that Mr.. Phillips came TO his
death from a blow administered on the
back of his head by some unknown per
son.
a considerable cash was found on the
back of the Old mans head, also some
gashes on his arms and his leg having the
appearance OF being made with a knife.
or some other sharp instrument. While
these circumstances point almost conclu-
sively to foul play. 1t IS said that the
wounds could have been made by his
falling in the creek.
The water where Phillips was found
was about eight or ten feet deep and as
he could not swim, it would have meant
death for him TO fall in. anyway

The London Field tells this story: A
rat was caught alive on board British
naval vessel in a trap and the beast was
thrown from the trap into the water with
out being killed. A large gun that was
following in the wake of the ship to pick
up scraps of food thrown overheard by
the steward swooped several times. en-
deavoring TO pick the rat up. once the
bird got TOO close to the rats jaws and the
beast grabbed IL by the neck. After a
short fight the rat succeeded in killing the
bird When the gull was dead the rat
scrambled upon the birds body and, hoist
ing one wing as a sail and using the other
as a rudder, succeeded in steering for the
shore Whether the rat reached shore or
not is the question, since the ship soon
sot out of sight of the skipper ana us

WOMAN SAW THE FIGHT.
Dressed in Male Attire, Bet $500 on
Fitz, and stood Treat for Men.

From the Philadelphia Press.
New York, June lO.-As a result OF a
wager of 500 with weil-known sporting
man, Mrs. Mollie Riordan, who conducts
the Garrick Hotel, on Seventh avenue,
near Forty-second street, has the proud
distinction of being the only woman adj
mitted TO the ring-side to witness the JEFF
fries Ftzslmmons fight last night. This.
however, was through no fault of the
doorkeepers. They did not know that the
gentleman with handsome black mus
tache. wearing a checked suit, tan shoes
and a white Fedora hat was in reality a
woman.
Mrs. Riordan was slightly nervous when
she arrived at the ring-side. but recovered
her composure enough to bet $500 with a
friend on Fitzsmmous just before the fight
started.
After the fight she enjoyed herself for
few hours, going so far as to speak TO
and treating some of her friends None OF
them recognized her.
