HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE CHI
CAGO.
(From the Chicago Record.

(From the Chicago Rseord.)
Very likely Q majority of educated
Americans II asked to give the proper
pronunciation Of the name Chicago deny
off hand that thsre Is any question about
the matter. Yet the fact IL thAt both
usaSe and tbs accepted authorities differ
not little. The Century Cyolopaedia
of Names affirms that the correct pronun-
citation Is "Shi-ka-go." with the ga" In
the second syllable as In "father." The
diacritioal marks OF the Standard Die
tionary make the pronunciation "Sh,-'
kAw-so," with the "a" as nearly a. DOS
sible like the CO.. In "nor." Webster
holds r,milar views regarding the second
"a" IN ..faii, b1. regards the 80" in
the first syllable as an obscure "e." Lip
pinoott's Gasesteer, Chamber Encyclo-
pasdia, and some English Biographies
give "Shs-kaw-go" .. she correct version.
Here's state Of things. The majority,
no doabt, say "Shi-kaw.go," touching
the "i'' lightly and obscursly. and max
ing tbs "a" somsthing betwesn "ah"
and "aw." The communicable practices
Of giving the second syllable with the
euphonious sound OF ''ah' seems to be
commoner outside this city than within
ID. In any event there IL . deplorAbls
lack OF unifosmity. Nos few educated
ns.sOns. kngiish and American, speak OF
"Tohikahso." OF course this doesn't
Affect the city, but uniformity Is always
desirable Which pronunciation are the
accomplished photographers to decide
