DIVIDED NY Az a.


The harmless little A that once stood
FOR apple-p.e in the nursery rhyme now
stands for ak; and New York and Chi
cago are each trying 10 land it upon the
neck OF the other The trouble originated
in the sound which certain representative
persons of the two cities give to the VOW
el, and the fight wakes not. 1t came about
in this way. The resignation Of the Rev.
DR.. Lyman Abbott leaves a vacancy in the
pulpit Of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn-Mr
Beecher's old church. The Plymouth con-
gregation Is seeking a new pastor; a large,
handsome man, of much erudition and elo-
quence. It came TO the attention Of the
Plymouth people that there was in Chi
cago such a preacher as they might gike
10 have a DR.. Hills. A delegate from Ply
mouth was sent on to Chicago to hear DR..
Hills preach, and to Judge Of his pulchi-
trude and persuasive powers. Deacon"
White was the delegate. The deacon is
known far and wide, not only for his piety,
but for his activity in Wall street, and as
a fan" at base BAH games. 1t now goes
into the records that, in addition to his
other accomplishments, he is a purist in
language or rather pronunciation For up
on the deacon's return from Chicago he
announced that while Mr.. Hills was
well-favored man and he knew a good deal,
his accent made the deacon creep" ale
flattened his "a in the true Western style"
said Deacon White. That is TO say, the
preacher called it vase" with the "a" as
in face, =" instead of calling il "vaws," as
they say in New York.
The deacons report just naturally riled
Chicago, and she got up and howled back
that New York was affected, pedantic, an
ape of British pronunciation; that she
thought It fine TO pattern after the Brit
ishers in pink teas and golf and strange
clothes, and to say "bawth." and "pawst,"
and the like. which disclosed her snobbery
and lack of real culture. New York, Of
course, went back at" Chicago and said
some sharp things about people rolling
their RS" and putting RS" where. none
should be, and chewing words, and grunt-
ing words. And thus the controversy goes
on.
Meantime, both Chicago and New York
are probably off on their pronunciation and
accent. Both have been contaminated by
the great influx of foreign immigration,
ana their break-neek speed in dollar chas-
ing. Purity Of spoken English is to be
found in this country in the South. To hear
the language at its best the Chicago and
New York disputa9ts should come South
and hear 1t from the lips of some patrician
maid (or young widow. where the soft
moonbeams filter through foliage gently
stirred by fragrant breezes. And then
they would know what they were talking
about.

An omnipotent congressman.

Sometimes a representatives. reputation
for being able to accomplish things causes
all sorts of strange people to make strange
requests of him. So 1t has been with
Representative Dave" Mercer, Of Ne
braska, who has built up a reputation for
efficiency that extends for beyond the
bounds Of his own state. He had always
been doing chores well for his constituents,
one of his successes being an appropriation
for many thousands of dollars for the
Mississippi Exposition just closed,
when everybody predicted that it could
not be done, says the Washington Post
The same constituents have just evinced
their appreciation by returning him for a
fourth term by an unprecedented major
ity.
The other day Mr.. Mercer received in his
mail letter addressed in feminine hand,

set out to do" she wrote. Il have three
houses and a vacant lot that 1 want very
much to dispose of. Now. won't you please

It was late Saturday night, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, The conductor
noticed one of the oldest patrons of the
line in tie car AS he took his fare he
smiled and said:

"Eh? said The patron.
Happy New Year repeated the conduc-
tor
Why, 1 paid you once said the patron.
The conductor grew red.
He began to realize that the patron was
decidedly deaf.
Il said Happy New Year, sir!" he
roared.
Whereat all the passengers laughed
What's the matter with it?' inquired
the deaf man, Hole in it?'
The conductor braced himself and
shrieked: Il wish you a happy-New

A Peoria court the other day had an odd
application for an injunction before it.
The petitioner desired a stay against
death Some person had predicted that
he would die on the 18th day of the pres
ent month. 1t occurred that the prophet
of evil had made quite a local reputation
for forecasting events correctly, hence
when the prediction of early demise was
made, the prospective victim was much
worried. In his application to the court
the petitioner stated that while he knew
he had to die some time. still Jan. 10
was not convenient date for him. There
were a number of matters he wished to
attend to before shutting off; therefore, if
the court would kindly restrain the pro-
phet from making the date Jan. Is, the pc
titioner would "ever pray, etc." as such
papers have it. The court was compelled
to admit that while it had many powers,
it was not competent to put the shackles
upon the grim destroyer.

OUR EXPOSITION SPACE.

There is cropping out in this country and
England a very bitter feeling among those
who purpose to have exhibits at the Paris
Exposition against the exposition manage
ment. 1t is alleged that the greater part
of the limited space of the exposition has
been awarded to home exhibitors In view
of the fact that the success of the ex-
position will depend largely on the for
eign exhibits, it is difficult to understand
the policy of the exposition managers in
awarding so little space to foreigners.
1t seems that space has been arranged
for at Vincennes for the overflow exhibits
and in this overflow. ii is supposed, will
be included most of the English and Amer
lean exhibits which belong TO the trans
port department In both this country and
in England there is talk of withdrawing
many of the exhibits which occupy a large
amount Of space. If that should be done
the exposition would be shorn OF some of
it's most attractive features-attractive to
those who viii visit the exposition for the
purpose Of studying the worlds progress
Vinceunes is six and half miles from
the exposition grounds. 1t would be use
less to send them there. Nobody would
see them.
Many are the comments on the differ
ence between the treatment accorded to
foreign exhibitors at Chicago and that
which they are receiving at Paris. AT
Chicago the foreign exhibitors were grant
ed al they asked. AT Paris the foreign
exhibitors win have to be satisfied with
what the domestic exhibitors don't want.

Most of the bills so far introduced into
the South Carolina Legislature, it is stat'
ed, have for their purpose the repeating
of laws now upon the statute books. This
is one fruit of annual sessions. When
meetings of the legislature are frequent
ill-digested laws get upon the statute
books. The legislators say, "Oh, well
le,'s pass this bill; if it isn't all right
we can repeal 1T at the next session"
And with the eee-sawing of factonal poll
tics, each annual session is kept busy re
pealing laws passed shortly before, and
passing others to be repealed by the ses-
sion coming after. Not only that, but some
really good laws enacted by one session
are either butchered or emesculated by
the next session, before the law has been
in operation long enough to determine its
real value In Georgia it is the same as
in South Carolina; and the taxpayers
have to foot the bills. In this state a ses-
sion of the Legislature costs about $4,000
and in South Carolina the cost is about
$4,000. Biennial sessions would save the
taxpayers at least those sums each two
