SAVING THE KINGS ENGLISH.

And naw England threatens to estab-
lish an English Academy of Letters,
modelled on the Academic Franchise.
According to London dispatches, the
conservators of the Kings English are
fearful lest America debase the tongue
forms of expression which, while ex-
pressive in a high degree, should not be
accepted as part and parcel of the Ian
guage.
France once undertook to do some
thing 1ike this. The French Academy,
upon which it is proposed to model the
English venture, once wrote to Cardinal
Richelieu declaring its aim to be ito
cleanse the language from the impuri-
ties it has contracted in the mouths of
the common people, from the jargon of
lawyers, from the misusages of ignorant
courtiers and the abuses of the pulpit"
In furtherance of this purpose, the acad-
envy pledged itself to compose a gram
mar, treatise on rhetoric and a treat
Use on poetry The browning work was
to be the dictionary. After 260 years
the dictionary of the academy remains
unfinished, while that of a single
scholar, M. Littre, is the standard work
of the French tongue. According to NJ.
Lanfrey, the academy may have dis
ciplined, but it has emasculated, impov-
erished and rigidified the French ton
que"
Now we don't want anything like this
to happen to our tongue, and it is safe
tosay that it wont. The American peo-
pie will continue to speak the English
that suits them best and expresses their

on the subject says, no academy will
ever prevent this tendency. The Ian
guage, being of the people, must be
made by them. There are expressions
used by the best writer's of the day.
which two or three decades ago were
considered bad form.
Mr.. Mathews believes that the lam
guage is better for the recruited words.
If the spoken tongue becomes corrupt,
The written tongue will prove the con-
servator of the best in the unwritten.
The preservation of the language does
not depend on the dicta of certain set
of men constituting themselves judges.
sayist, the elasticity so necessary in the
language of a progressive people can
only be secured by letting the people be
the Jurors.

A gigantic philanthropic task lies be-
fore Mr.. Andrew Carnegie if, as he
states, he has just begun his business
of giving, if we estimate his future ben
efactions on the basis of the sums he
has already given.
Including the S10,000,0O0 gift to the
Scotch universities, the total of his gifts
to public enterprises aggregate $40, 1854
$50, Of this amount, $29,070052 has
Seen spent in America and 81 1874 800
abroad. OF the American beneficences,
libraries outside of New York. have re-
ceived $6,599, 100, while New York City
libraries have had So 200 600 Other in
situations outside New York have been
made richer by SIG, 1886, 200, and those in
New York $434,752
He has bestowed over SIT 900 900
more in the United States, the land of
his adoption, than in his native coun-
try
Evidently Mr.. Carnegie intends to do
his best to live up to his belief an
nounced some time ago, that man who
dies rich dies disgraced. 1t will take
considerable work, however, for the
benevolent Scot to get rid of even the
income from his $30O,OO0,OOO and more
in judicious works of benevolence.
Mr. Carnegie has set a noble example
to wealth, one badly needed and rarely
followed, although he has compelled
other rich men to contribute, often
making that a condition of his benefac-
tons.

"ALT NURNBERG."

Fraulein Antonio Stole. who Is at All
Nurnoers, the German Village OF tho
Pan-Ameriean Exposition with her beau
uful reproductions of famous paintings in
their original colors, is attracting consld-
cradle attention among the club women OF
the country, by reasoned her offer to ar
range special days for their benefit at AR
Nurnberg." In this regard she will pre-
pare a special set OF pictures, ana a lee
ture 10 go with them, especially TO suit
the tastes OF various organizations OF wo-
men, literary societies and college stu
dents.
AS is well known, Frauleln Stole is a
graduate of the Royal Art Academy at
Berlin being native OF Germany. BY
a process of her own she has made color
reproductions of about 1000 of the famous
paintings in old world galleries. and BY
the use OF the stereopticou they are re-
produced in all their beauty OF color. She
arranges these pictures IN different sets.
so that they may properly aid the stu
dent OF art or literature in any particular
course of study that is being followed
So Fraulein Stole has decided that for
the period she is at "Alt NurnberE''A tho
entire six months of the Pan-American
Expostion-she will make feature OF en-
tertaining the various art and literary
organizations Of the country, whose mem
bers visit the exposition.
If Fraulein Stole is communicated with
at AIT Nurnberg" on the exposition
grounds, she will gladly arrange a special
date and set of pictures. to interest any
organization making such application.
Because of the fact that many societies
will visit the exposition In a body this
feature of Alt Nurnberg' viii undoubt-
eddy be taken advantage of 20 great
extent. The fraulein is pleasantly located
in the Frauen Tower and there is no
charge of admission to hear her Interest,"

This fact should not be overlooked It's

FAIR AMERICANS CHINESE LOOT.

FAIR AMERICANS CHINESE LOOT.
At the last general meeting of the
Diplomatic Corps in Pekin startling
charge was made by the ministers OF
two European countries.
Gen. Chaffee's alleged reference to
Lady Macdonald, wife of the British
Am bassador, in his letters about loot
ing caused two of the ministers present
to state that they were with her lady
ship on the first visit of the allies to
the Forbidden City and that all she took
was yellow rose plucked in the gar
den of the Empress. Then they said:
But we did, however. witness one
scene of looting, which, together with
Lady Macdonald, we tried, but unsuccess-
fully, to prevent In the palace we met
the wife of an American diplomat accom-
panied by an American curio dealer. We
suggested that the reception was exclus-
lively for the members of the Diplomatic
Corps, but she persisted in taking the
curio dealer, whose expert opinion she
wanted upon some of the Empress orna-
ments.
Reaching the pavilion, the curio dealer
said:
Here, I am informed, most valuable
porcelain is concealed
I'm spite of the protests of Lady Mac
donald and ourselves, the wife of the
American diplomat tried to open the cup
boards. Finally she called an American
soldier, who pried a cupboard open with
his bayonet whereupon, not wishing to
assist at a scene we could not prevent,
we withdrew.
This is q strange story According
to Stephen Bonsal, who cables it to the
New York Herald, the American repre-
sentative at the meeting made no reply,
but it is confidently expected that he
or the husband OF the accused lady Will
demand a retraction.

Is u. s. TO GOBBLE STEEL CART
The latest rumor concerning the new
Morgan steel combine is that the Bill
lion Trust proposes to absorb the
Pressed Steel Car Company, which has
works in Pittsburg. Allegheny and
Joliet, Ill.
1t is stated that such combination
would be a very logical one, as the
Pressed Steel Car Company is now one
of the largest consumers of steel, its
output of finished cars averaging about
10 per day. AS the Steel Trust manu-
features wire, wire nails, ETC., through
the American Steel & Wire Company;
makes tin plate, through the American
Tin Plate Company; and other finished
products by the National Steel, the
American Bridge and the American
Steel Hoop Company, it will be quite in
line with their policy to take up the
making Of steel cars.
The recent strength of the Pressed
Steel Car stocks in the market is cited
as pointing to a merger, which, it is
estimated, though not officially con-
firmed, will be affected on basis equal
to about 60 for Steel Car common and
ITO for the preferred. This would add
a trife of something like s20,000000 to
the capitalization of the already over
grown Billion Trust.

Character, he would separate himself from
about Is cents in Coppers, Postage Stamps
and Milk Tickets, and then he would sit
