In time most of the slang, if it is al
all picturesque, is adopted as a factor
in the language and finds a place in the
dictionary alongside words with pedi-
grees as long as William Waldorf AS
tors. In the central district court
yesterday, Lawyer John E. Sullivan
usurped the prerogative of the diction-
airy makers, by giving a comprehensive
definition of "rubber-neck." 1t is for
tunate indeed that he recorded and de-
fined this strange word, as it appears
to be only bird of passage. Since ii
has become a part of the yernacular of
the Bostonians. it has undergone a
change for the sake of euphony, by
which the meaning is retained but the
word is lost. Where formerly Edward
Atkinson would have shouted rubber
neck at another member of the Anti
Imperialistic League who was trying to
see the fine points in his Aladdin oven,
he now greets him with 'peninsular,'
which, being interpreted into Bostonese
means a neck stretching out to sea.

Elihu Root has succeeded in getting
the war department and the army to-
gether for once, but how long they will
remain together remains to be seen.
If his diplomacy and flrmness can eff
feet permanent harmony, he will need
no other recommendation to fame.
His interview with Miles and Corbin is
said to have resulted in an understand
ing and several smiles, and it is given
out that these friendly demonstrations
are the beginning of a new era. Set
ting Miles soreness aside, Mr.. Root
has no small contract on hand if he
intends to assert himself over Corbin,
who for years has virtually run things
in the war department according to his
own sweet will, and uniformly blocked
all efforts to reduce him to his proper
position as head Of a bureau. Other
secretaries of war have undertaken to
introduce the star-eyed goddess of re-
form, but finally they had to give up in
despair, ALL success to Mr.. Root in his
newest venture.
