Loevysrs in Chine.

There are said to be no lawyers In
China. yet Hong Flu Ling. who was
killed recently during the fighting at
Tientsin was very close imitation
OF one. Hong Flu Ling gained . wide
reputation among the foreigners At
the Chinese city and was chosen to
represent their interests in the courts
whenever occasion required. He
proved himself capable and faithful
and his death cast a gloom over the
foreign colony.
Although Hong Flu Ling was called
. lawyer. he was not really one, for
there are. strictly speaking. NO lawyers

some General 6ules That WIN Ala II Fro
nouncing Thsm.
Many foreign words have become q
part OF the English language through
frequent use and 1t Is wise and proper
to pronounce them. according to rules
or English. There are, on the other
hand, many words that do not readily
lend themselves to the English style
OF pronunciation, or that are not used
OFTEN enough to warrant 1t. In pro-
nouncing such words the following
suggestions may be of help to those
who have little or no acquaintance
with the foreign languages.
In Latin two v0wels are not put In
one syllable unless they are Joined as
diphthong. There are as many syl-
lables as there are vowels in word.
(Sr-ne die for sine die.)
In German, the letter W has the
sound OF in English. (vahg'-ner for
Wagner.) The same is true In French,
though W Is only found in words that
have been borrowed from other lam
guages.
The letter in German and in the
Latin tongues, viz: French, italian
and Spanish has the sound Of long e.
(peek for pique, Fr.; Bee -an-ko for
Bianco. It.; Dee'-os for Dios, Sp.)
In the Latin tongues, also, the letter
generally, though not always has
the Broad sound, while the letter o
has the long sound.
The letter C in italian when fol-
lowed by or has the sound Of ch.
Win'-chee for Vinci.)
Final cOnsOnants In French are
nearly always silent. (Pah for Pas.)
So also Is final silent unless an
accent mark is placed above it. The
accented has the sound of long q
In English or sound quite close to
that.
The syllables in French words are
never accented as In English words.
All Of them are supposed to receive
equal emphasis, but q little more
stress is laid on the last syllable unless
1t is run into the next word as is often
done.
The French make frequent use Of
nasal vOwels, sO-called, the correct
pronunciation of which Is difficult to
acquire. The nasal vowel is composed
Of vowel and consonant-m or n.
The consonant is practically silent, but
serves to give the nasal tone to the
vowel. The pronunciation of the word
salon, (fOr exdmple) as given In Web
sters dictionary, is sa-lOng'. 1t should
be observed that in the front of the
dictionary it is explicitly stated that
this ng is silent. being used only to
convey the idea Of the nasal sound.

WILL TRY TO DOWN BRYAN.

The fact that Admiral Dewey. before
leaving Washington for Chicago, made
& the statement that he would be a cam
didate for the democratic nomination
for the presidency at the Kansas City
convention, has renewed interest in his
has not Increased admiration for his
sagacity. When his last statement was
made he declined to express his poilti-
cal views on various issues and the
public can only guess that he is OPP
posed to republican policies. From a
political point OF view his negative tti-
tude is not Inspiring.
AS he merely represents Opposition
he is in receptive attitude toward
democracy of whatever kind. An In
dianapolis dispatch states that much
interest is being manifested in the com
4 ing meeting of the Indiana gold demo-
Gratis, at Which plans for the state and
national campaigns Will be discussed
and line of action agreed upon. The
indications now are that the meeting
will assume national Importance as a
movement is on foot to make Admiral
Dewey the candidate of the democrats
who are opposed to Bryan and the re-
publicans Who are opposed to AIcISin-
ley. The leaders in the Indiana gold
standard party do not believe that a
campaign on the single idea Of the gold
standard would attract votes this fall,
for they regard that issue as having
been disposed of FOR the present, but
they are opposed 10 Bryan because h,
represents the free silver idea and the,
moral effect Of his election in this re-
gard would be bad.
.ge The chief difficulty they will encoun-
ter will be the machinery of he demo-
cratic party, now in the hands of,
Bryanitss. 1t is already largely com
mitted to the silver leader and there is
little expectation that he can be side
tracked al present. Democratic leaders
also recognize the fact that Dewey is al
self-seeker, that he does NOT stand for
any great principle and that he hopes
his popularity will be the factor that
willsenable him to Win. As previously
stated, his attitude is not inspiring. 1t
does not represent a great national Or
vital issue. He isinor Tie leader of
hosts who represent policies or pur-
Sposes. and for that reason his personal
popularity is offse, BY the fact that he
is a mere negation or cipher in the POI
