Use Of Words.

In the newspapers of the day there
are lots of mlsued words. Among the
words noticed in single day recently
was one that is very often used. We
cannot say 1t Is misused, because no
such word exists. Therefore the use
of the form is an error and a common
one, too. The spelling to which we re-
.er is "bursted." We note that it is
used by three different papers in one
day, and still it is wrong. 1t is so easy
to say "a bursted fiue," "he bursted his
bonds" "the boiler Dursted" and so on
in numOerless cases. But economy of
time should favor the use of the prop
er form, as it is shorter and is right.
% say "he burst his bonds" is to use
the right word in the place.
A new word was used in reference to
the speeches made in nominating men
for certain Offices. 1t was "nomina-
tory" When the word came up it was
discussed and upon investigation it
was mol given in any of the late stand
ard authorities.

the formal beginning of the affair. For

colonel and governor at the state line
and escorted him to Las Vegas, where
1t was simply impossible to keep the
men away from him. At Saturdays
gathering the colonel made a speech of
vigorous patriotism and warm regard
for his comrade of the Santiago cam
paign, and was the recipient Of innum-
cradle tokens of esteem from his men.
At the grand review yesterday he made
another address on being made the re-

witness To recover from the effect Of the
dramatic scenes. The next witness for
the prosecution testified as to where
they had seen the defendant on the
morning of the murder. A network of
evidence has been brought out against
the defendant. Brumm is feigning in

MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE.
Holds Its Last Session and Records q
Number of Vetoes.

Lansing, Mich, June 26.-Although
business was suspended eight days ago
the formal adjournment of the legislature
did not take place until Saturday, The
closing was devoid of ceremony, there
being less than a dozen legislators pres
ent. The last business transacted was
the entering on the legislative journal of
vetoes of bills creating a temporary tax
commission, reorganizing the military
forces Of the state, making an appro-
priation for the state horticultural So
ciety, permitting the sale of all fish
caught in legal-sized nets and making
private fishing grounds Of Long lake,
Lapeer county.
The tax commission bill was vetoed
because it named the commissioners,
this being considered an invasion of the
rights of the executive. The military
bill was said to entail useless expense
and the fish bill was objected to on the
ground that it nuilified all laws fixing
the size of fish that may be legally Sold
The principle in the Long lake bill would
permit all lakes in the state to become
private property.

ARGUED HER OWN CASE.
Mrs. NJ. Ii. Abbott Maintains Women Can
Hold Office in Michigan.

hoiu Ohce III IhiCnisan.
Lansing, Mich, June 24-The supreme
court was the scene Of a very unusual
incident, the occasion being the argu-
ment of the case of The Attorney Gen.
eral VS.. Mrs. Merrie b. Abbott, which
involves the question of the right Of a
attorney in this state. Mrs. Abbott ar
gued her own case, talking for forty
five minutes in a most eloquent and
convincing manner.
The claim of the attorney general was
that women have no rights in this state
so far as officeholding goes, unless it is
granted them by express provision of
either the constitution or some statute.
He supported this proposition upon the
common-law doctrine of custom and
usage, and upon the principle that none
but electors can hold office that is filled
by electors. Mrs. Abbott insisted that
the doctrine Of custom and usage will
not apply, inasmuch as women have
acted both as prosecutors, although by
assignment rather than election, as cir
cult court commissioners by election in
this state; that the constitution should
be interpreted in the light Of present
needs and conditions rather than bound
down to the illiberal customs and
usages of a half-century or more ago,
and maintained that women are
eligible to general public office, unless
by some express inhibition of the con-
stitution they are deprived OF that
right, and that the constitution of this
state is silent as to qualifications and
void of restrictions with reference to
the office of prosecuting attorney

Cty OWnershtp at Detroit Gets an Indef-
mite Postponement.
Detroit, June 2S.-The plans of Gov
ernor Pingree and his associates for
municipal ownership and operation of
Detroit street railways were left "in
the air" by the common council last
night. The two pending ordinances and
other matter appertaining to the mu-
nicipal scheme were laid on the table
by unanimous votes, and it is problema-
teal when those questions will be again
debated
The joint committee on streets and
ordinances found that no bargain could
be made with the railways If Scent in
stead Of scent fares were inserted in
the security franchise; and considering
the lack of legal authority for pro-
ceeding to special election the litiga-
ton, and the other contingencies, the
committee unanimously declined to rec
ommend any steps toward city owner
ship at this time. The committees re-
port was unanimously accepted and the
ordinances tabled, thus ending the en-
tire matter for the time being at least.

There Is more Catarrh In this section of
the country than all diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed
to be incurable. For great many years
doctors pronounced 1t local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nOunced 1t incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
