GRAMMAR AND PICTURES.
editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: MY attention has been called quite often
lately to eccentric of AN for "a" that is
when the following word does begin with
vowel sound And, unfortunately. we have an
ample in to-day's attractive supplement tsee page
g. third line above Taylor's portrait. IAN hstorian)
Would you write hiss for the peculiar sound
of goose snake? Yet the sound is exactly the
Please allow me another question. Can pictures
be sent by wire? For instance, some John Smith
dies In South America Europe this afternoon
and you print his portrait In the morrows paper.
How did you get 1t? OF course. imagine
that in case of general or other prominent per-

[First-The use of AN to which our corre-
spondent takes exception is not eccentric. but
regular The rule is that an is to be used In
stead Of "a" before a word beginning with
vowel with unaccented silent H. in
which latter case the word practically begins
with vowel sound. Thus say "a history
"a hiss because the syllable following the
article is accented and the "h' is distinctly
sounded. But we say "an historian" because
the accent falls not the first. but on the
second syllable, and the ''h." being unaccented.
is not strongly sounded. So say IAN honor"
IAN hour" etc, because. although the syllable
containing the 'h' is accented, the III is silent
and the word really begins with vowel sound.
Second-No. there is yet satisfactory
method OF transmitting pictures by telegraph.
The Tribune has file in Its office, within
easy reach, thousands Of portraits OF persons in
all walks Of life, in all parts OF the world. which
II can reproduce in its columns at short notice.

TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT
Hearing in AIbertPatriek Case Comes
to a Close.

New York, April 1.-THE hearing in
the case of Albert T. Patrick, charged
with the murder of the aged millionaire.
William Marsh Rice. closed this after
noon and Justice Jerome announced that
ne reserved his decision, but hoped to
make it known BY next Monday. II rests
with Justice Jerome whether or not Pat
rick VII. be held for the grand jury.
Meanwhile Patrick will stay in the tomb.
In summing up for the prisoner, his
counsel, Mr. Moore. presented several
reasons why he thought Patrick should
be freed The last one was this:
Admitting if you viii. that Patrick is
guilty Of forgery, confederation of that
has no bearing on the charge of murder
We contend that there was no evidence
that Rice was murdered"
That may be- Justice Jerome said,
but under the common law on the state
ment Of Jones alone. I should have TO
hold the defendant for the grand jury.
Whether the statutes change this IN re-
gard to holding a defendant for the
grand jury is the question. That is
mere question OF law and can easily be
settled.
Mr.. Moore. acting for David L. Short
and Norris Meyers, waived examination
OF the charges Of forgery against them.
as he also aid concerning the charge Of
forgery against Patrick. The latter was
remanded to the toTnbs without ban on
the murder charge. but no BAH was fixed
for him IN the forgery matter while
Short and Meyers were held IN bonds OF
$1,000 each.

DEMOCRATS FAYOR BARNES
Their idea Is to spite the Republican
Party.

Guthrie. o. T., April LIT is a notice.
able thing that the majority of the Dem
ocratic papers in the territory are en-
dorsing Governor Barnes in the COVER
nor fight said territorial politician to-
day. There are a number of reasons
for this state Of affairs. but the first and
principal cause is that they believe that
Barnes reappointment win widen the
breach now existing in the ranks Of the
Republican territorial party. In the past
campaigns these papers have made war
on Congressman Flynn and because of
this fact they are inclined to continue
the fight OF course Barnes was known
at that time TO be against the Flynn men
and as he has never been in a fight where
the Democratic press would assail him
as they could Flynn, it is reasonable that
il fight OF this kind they would sup
port the one faction which had caused
the least trouble to democracy.
This goveruorshfp fight more in II
from a Democratic standpoint than is
seen by the casual observer The Dem
ocrats have an impression that II Barnes
is reappointed governor it will further
the opportunities for electing a Demo
cratic governor when Oklahoma is made
a state AS said before the reappoint-
ment of Barnes would surely cause more
bitterness between the members OF the
two factions and when the time comes
for the election of governor, the Dem
ocrats hope that the factions viii be pit
ted against each other in such a manner
and with such a display of animosity that
one faction would rather have Demo
-
the opposing faction win.
Not only is the governorship fight in
teresting the Democrats and causing
their anticipations to arise, but there are
two senators to be selected If the fac
tions are so bitter toward each other at
the time that governor is elected. it is
reasonable from their point OF argument
to suppose that the fight viii be carried
out to the extreme. one Democratic
politician stated that he was in hopes
that Barnes would succeed himself ard
that II the governor was retained in his
present position, il would give democracy
a splendid opportunity Of eiecting gov
ernor with q reasonable show for one
senator. II not two
What the result OF Barnes reappOfnt-

No effort has been spared By the hui
manitarians to save storti from the
electric chair. The final appeal was made
in a spirit of desperation rather than In
hope Of success. Were It not for the
murderer's sudden and severe illness it
most likely would have failed.
The appeal in the natural order Of
things would not have come before the
governors council until Wednesday and
meanwhile Warden Bridges would not
