til they branched out part of them going

GROWTH OF ENGLISH SLANG.
Origin and Meaning of Words Com
monty Used, But Unworthy the
Dictionary.

Dictionary.
From the London Mail
The use of slang is spreading alarmingly
in all classes of London society. Even at
the best AT Homes the regrettable prac-
tice is more noticeable than ever. Slang
has one, and only one advantage 1t Oft
en- conveys to the mind clearer and more
distinct sense of what is meant than
would more classic language.
"High-falutn' " is much in evidence
just now as a slangism. It means "put-
ting side on being 'stuck up" Showing
off," and such like human failings Come
now, none o yer high-falutin'," when ex-
pressed in an angry voice by a big man.
is a solemn warning to the other man
not to appear what is not, neither to.
''show off, nor initiate the Swell or the
fancy"
The vernacular is particularly rich in
slang synonyms for money" many of
which are remarkable in their appropr-
ateness. In scores of ways one may speak
of our coin, among them being "the ac-
tual," "the needful," or "the wherewith-
all "tiu," "brass," blunt" Chips"
"dibs." or pieces" DUST "chink,"
"shot. "sbekels.'' or ''sDond,llics.',
"stanns "feathers" or sna1no-ou"
which last is such an obviously appli-
cable word for it that "shin-plaster" seems
feeble by comparison.
These epithets, however, are not more
curious than the technical and trade slang
which was brought 10 the notice Of The
RovoI Commission On Labor Ar,ong III.

Thc HattIc ut Manila.

The details of the long battle around Ma
Mia can not be read by Americans without
swelling of the heart. In Cuba our SOL
diers, volunteers as well as regulars, chal-
lenged the wonder and the enthusiasm OF
foreign spectators. not only by their cour
age and endurance. but also by the intelli-
gence of their fighting. That the Tagals
should be surprised at the cool bravery and
the impetuous dash of our army was to be
expected, but not even the trained and
experienced soldiers of Europe could i'm
prove in any way On the methods by which
victory was won.
The American troops occupied the lines
and blOckhouses established by the Span
iards before the fall OF Manila and the in
surgents held their old lines. The latter
attacked the Americans exactly as they had
attacked the Spaniards. The Spaniards had
maintained their position for a short time
and then retreated in wild disorder. The
insurgents expected the Americans to de-
sert their trenches more readily than the
Spanish veterans. But they did not. They
| remained as cool and deliberate as though
! it were a sham battle. Aguinaldo was in
] sane enough to hope.that he could surprise
! the Americans as he had the Spaniards.
Having failed in this he ordered a desper-
ate charge which he believed would send
! his enemy fleeing into the city. 1t was his
! inability to understand the steadiness OF
the Americans that led to such terrible
slaughter in his ranks. He would never
| have caused his men to advance if he had
| credited his enemy with a courage superior
| to that OF his old foe.
The punishment of the Filfpinos was
awful. They fought with fury because
they did not doubt they would be success.

Shakers Dying Out.

(From the Troy, n. Y, Budset-)
A Troy gentleman who was intimately
associated forty-two years ago with the
Shakers at Niskayuna, and who visits the
settlements there regularly, says that the
Shakers in that vicinity are slowly but
surely dying out.
''Forty-two years ago in the family in
which l belonged as small boy states
the gentleman there were a hundred
members. Now there are but about twen-
ty-fye OF that number only five are men
and there are several old women. 1t is

it has to be worked by hired labor. and the
profits are eaten up. 1, think the Shakers
at Niskayuna have very little money. They
are well provided for as regards land, but
that Is about all. 1t will probably be only
question of a short time before the set.
Elements will be entirely run out.
"They still have preaching services in
the church, which is in the church family
settlement, but it is not much like the old
days. l remember when there were two
men and two women in the settlement who
preached. Besides that, there were several
elders in each family.
There are a good many old persons in
the settlements and a number of young
women and girls. No one, however, enters
the settlements, and there is never . year
that some do not die or leave"

YALE STUDENTS RIVAL
GERMAN RUFFIANISM
RAID UPON A MILITARY BALL
Onslaught of College Men Upon the
ArmOry of the New Haven
City Guard.

New Haven, Conn.,, Feb. THE annual
ball of the New Haven City Guard came
to an abrupt end at o'clock this morning
in a riot which has never been equaled in
military life here.
At least thousand Yale students rushed
into the hall to run the place. and they
succeeded, but not until they had taxed
the utmost energy of the police and the
city military company.
The Yale students rushed from one end
of the armory to the other, knocking
everything that came in their way. Fists,
clubs, and bottles began to fly in every di-
rection and men fell on the floor and were
trampled on by the mobbing sons of Ell.
Everyone fought everyone and pandemo-
MUM reigned. One big Yale man sank to
the floor with big cash in his head, from
a blow from a billy, and was carried away
by his colleagues.
The women sought refuge in the CALLER
les and dressing rooms. An attempt was
made to resume the dancing later in the
evening, but at the first bar OF dashing
two-step another riot broke out and con-
tinued until the band played Home, Sweet
Home"
1t is rumored that arrests will be made
today.

TAKING A BRIDE TO KLoNDIKE.
Romantic Meeting at Sea Followed
by Quick Marriage.


New York, Feb. 7.-Heinrich Hilpe. re-
turning to the Klondike after visit to his
home in Germany. and Elizabeth Bitmore,
of Berlin, both passengers on the steam
ship Palatia, were married yesterday at
the City Hall.
Hilpe, who was formerly a resident OF
this city, went to the Klondike two years
ago. and, after many ups and downs of
fortune staked claim that netted him
$4,000. The vision of what that would
mean to him in his home in Germany out
weighed the temptation to try other
claims
He went back to Germany, but did not
find things as he had expected and de-
cided. a few weeks ago, that he would re-
turn to the Klondike.
In the second cabin of the Palatia was
Elizabeth Bitmore, young and fair to look
upon. Heinrich fell in love with her be-
fore they were one day out from Ham
burg. A fellow-townsman introduced him
and he found that Miss Bitmore approved
of him.
Before the voyage was over he learned
| tradesman, failed few weeks ago. She
was on her way to America to enter ser
| vice. At home her pride would not per-
NIT her to relieve her father of the bur
! den of her support in that way. She never
| expected to be married.
Heinrich proposed and Elizabeth de-
| cided TO modify her expectation-she would
be married 10 him, and they would go 10
the Klondike together.
At the Barge Office yesterday their story
was learned. and an inspector left his work
| long enough to escort them 10 the City
| Hall, where an alderman gave his official

the audience is concerned, is not so bad
as these things. But it is, on the whole.
a grosser insult to the singers and to ev-

of such breach of courtesy ought there

PORTO RICANS DIACIPLINED.
General Henry Dissolves the Cabinet
for characterization

San Juan de Porto Rico, Feb. 7-Gover-
nor General Henry has ordered the dissolu-
tion of the insular cabinet and substitutes
for it the following departments: State
justice. finance and interior
The order announces that, it having be-
come evident to General Henry. after a
careful trial of two months, that the in
sular cabinet does not correspond with
American methods of progress, he declares
its dissolution.
General Henry's action was impelled by
the disposition of the members to disre-
gard him and by their objection to the
temporary substitution of American off,
GERS in the departments.
The cabinet resigned because Sepor Mu-
noz Rivera was not allowed, as its chief,
to act with reference to insular affairs in
dependently. Its members claim that they
were independent of General Henry be-
cause elected by the people. He refused
to surrender his prerogatives as governor
and insisted that he had at all times
acted in accordance with the best inter-
ests of the island. To this they replied
that longer continuance in Office under
present conditions would make them un-
popular with their party.
