SLANG In BOSTON.

Young society people in Boston have
formed a slang club" which has for
its purpose the cultivation OF artistic
slang, and the society already num-
bers its members by the score. The
more sedate OF Boston's citizens wiring
their hands in alarm at the new idea,
for anybody who can introduce a good
slang word is eligible for membership.
AS a considerable number of the elite
of Boston's society have already been
proposed II seems that the new So
ciety has made a very fair start In in
Producing new slang words. A COM
mittee is at work on the formation OF
a slang dictionary, and 1t has discov-
cred that New York's Bowery does not
contain half as much warped and
twisted English as Turks in and around
Boston. Members Of the slang club
argue that slang is an art. and that a
real good slangy word expresses far
more than any conceivable sentence.
As far as lies in their power they will
promulgate slang In the society in
which they move, and once society gets
permeated-well, then I'VE shall spec"
as one Of the slang club members OBJ
serves. A member Of the slang club
Is known as a "slanger." A man Is
more definitely known as q canary"
while a woman is known. IL she 10
pretty. as a fairy" otherwise as
rice" Every week '~'yellups' are held,
at which everybody talks slang. and

body who has the dough"

A surprlsed Bishop.

From the Washington Post: That
makes me think of a story Bishop
Huntington told OF himself during n
of his last visits to Washington. The
good bishop. 1t seems, once went down
10 a town in Connecticut TO perform
/ marriage ceremony. He arrived the
lay before the wedding, and he left at
the same time the bridal pair did, al
though he was driven to a different

he was aware that he was creating a

account for II. In the car he found
that he was still the object Of amused
attention. The porter positively snick-
.red as he passed his seat, and finally
rs the train drew out he came up and
assisted the churchman to remove his
,%vercoat. What is the matter with
fou, my MANI" asked the bishop. The
p~orter's smoker broadened into q
laugh. "Ain't yon done left the lady,

New Jersey.

The returns at midnight indicate
that the republicans have carried New
Jersey by about 10000 plurality, al
though there was no direct vote on a
state ticket. Republicans will control
both houses Of the Legislature by good
working majorities and will have an
increased representation in the house
Of assembly. The next assembly will
be composed Of forty-one republicans
and nineteen democrats as against
thirty-seven republicans and twenty
three democrats last year.

THE following seems to be about
the only objection to trusts which
an editor of a Minneapolis daily
discovers, and is elected by the
assertion of Gen. Coxey that trusts
are a step in the direction of
public ownership:
IF the excessive organization
and extension Of trusts tends to en-
courage the development Of social
ism, that is another danger that
it behooves those in control of
affairs to guard against by curling
and effectually regulating the
trusts. The competitive principle
of modern business must be pre-
served"

V. T., writing for The Criterion
says: "There are many other
dreary misconceptions Of what
philanthropy really means. The
direct endowments of institutions
the direct giving of money
these have almost always proved
to be failures. The good they do is
largely counterbalanced by the
assaults they make upon self
reliance and self-respect."
The truth Of this statement
should appeal to the reason of
every thinking man. The people
do not want charity of that sort,
but social and political conditions
which will make it impossible for
one man to amass a fortune Of
two hundred millions of dollars
to fling about in endowments and
charities in order to get up cheap
reputation for philanthropy. The
people want opportunities to do
for themselves.

ally handed the clerk another
package of bills.
The clerks anxiety to appear
accurate and rapid before the
comptroller had saved him. He
replaced the bill, and was still
honored and respected by all who
knew him.
His more than life had hung
by the thread of a bank clerks
conceit. How many lives and
homes and regulations are hang
ing by just such slender threads.
Let but that thread break and
they are put forever without the
pale Of respectable society. That
man in his moments Of agony
never once thought Of the prison
it's hardships-coarse fare and rig
id discipline. He thought Of the
suffering innocent ones, of the
ruined hopes and severed friend
ships. These are the things which
make the punishment out of all
proportion to the SHINING and puts
the iron in the heart Of a man
twixt whom and society that black
pull Of criminality has once fallen.
Had that clerk little less con-
6dence in himself or little less
conceit or less regard for the good
opinion Of the comptroller, and
recounted that package of bills,
social, financial and possibly moral
ruin would have overtaken that
man and all who were dear to
him. Could you have called that
anything but calamity?
Some may object that [ have
cited an extreme case and possibly
I have; but there is an infnitude
of cases between this extreme and
the other extreme of the man who
is born in prostitution, reared in
restitution, matured in dissipa-
ton and finished in crime. Once
beyond that impalpable and i'm
aginary boundary that marks the
criminal class from all the rest Of
the world and all are treated with
exactly the same lily concealed
aversion, the same social ostra-
cism and repulsion; the same sys-
tenn Of machine reformation.
They become irrevocably an atom
in that entity called the terminal
class"

"boys' outside Of the office who
have shown a lively and encourag
ing interest in The MIRROR, we
have decided to conduct what we
believe may properly be called
the Educational column. The OBJ
ject of this column will be to in
terest you all il, topics of common
good. To ask and to answer per-
tinent questions and to exchange
ideas having a tendency to educate
and help US. We will even at
tempt to answer queries, and some
space will be given each week to
the questions and their answers
We will solve mathematical prob
lens, barring Euclid, calculus, log
erithms etc. We will write up
your biological delineation or cast
horoscope.
When questions are asked sign
with the number or initials
only as in that manner we will
save space.

THERE was once a man W no held
a position Of teller in a bank. At
one time, to prevent absolute fl
nancia) ruin, it was necessary to
have a thousand dollars. In the
vaults to which he had access,
were packages of bills of various
denominations, and one Of thou
sand-dollar bills. Knowing that
he could certainly replace it in
30 days and that there was not the
slightest danger Of it's being
missed he took one $1,000 bill
from the package of twenty.
Five days latter, contrary to ex-
pectation or the usual custom the
comptroller called to check the
accounts of the bank. A young
clerk, noted for his zealousness
and accuracy, took seat at desk
Immediately opposite and facing
the comptroller. The number and
denomination Of the bills was
plainly marked on each package.
It was the work of the clerk to
carefully count and ascertain if
the contents tailed with the mark
ings upon which veriication the
comptroller would check the book.
The teller of whom [ am writing
was stationed to pass the packages
of bills from the vault to the count
ing clerk. Package after package,
in machine-like regularity went
out and were counted and checked.
Finally came the fatal package.
The clerk commenced to count
in the same methodical manner
one, two, three, four-The teller
thought of his home and his
beautiful wife-of his young son at
school, his girl baby. Shame,
ruin, separation-all were surely
closing down upon him. Thirteen.
fourteen agony was in
tense. Precipitation stood cold
upon his brow. Eighteen, nine
teen-There was a fraction of a
seconds hesitation-a slight flush
at his own apparent blunder-then
twenty-and the amount was
checked and the teller mechanic.
