NAME OF CAPE NOME.
PROFESSOR Davidson's Search Dis
closes the Date of Its
Origin

Prof. Davidson, in the National Geo
graphic Magazine, says that during
the last four years he has made nu-
merous inquiries concerning the ORR
gin of the name of Cape Nome. He
searched every available chart and
narrative of the region until the ad-
miralty chart of 1853 was found, which
proved to contain the earliest use Of
the name
The discovery convinced the profess
sor that the name must have been
given during the voyagH of the Sir
John Franklin ships Herald and Plover.
So he wrote to the chief of the ad-
miralty asking if any officer on these
ships was named Nome. The follow
ing is the reply: "When the M. S.
chart of region was being constructed
on board II. M. S. Herald attention
was drawn to the fact that this point
had no name, and mark (?Name)
was placed against it.
In the hurry of dispatching this
chart from the ship this (?) appears
to have been linked in by a rough
draughtsman and appeared as Cape
Name, but the stroke of the "a'' be-
ing very indistinct it was interpreted
as G. Nome, and has appeared with
this name ever since.
"This information is from an Off
Ger who was on board the Herald when
the chart was made.''

MISAPPLIED WORDS.
Grievous Fault in the Use of Several
That Are Quite Commonly
Heard

Extra is an abused word. People
say extra good" or extra cheap" in
order to intensity good and Cheap .
But extra has no such force. So
lar from intensifying a given condi-
ton, says the Academy, it denies it by
indicating that the thing so described
lies outside the sphere or quality
named. Thus extra judicial does
not mean more than ordinarily Judi
clal, as though a judge had dredged
his conscience in giving an opinion.
but outside of judicial, and, therefore.
incapable of being judicial at all in the
prescribed way
"A grleVous fault is the use of 'sidenti-
fy' in a phrase like this: "He is
identified with the characterization
movement" A man can only identify
hlmself with another man or set Of
men. He can Identify himself with
the opponents of vaccination-and
even here the word carries shade of
meaning of it's own, distinguishing
the phrase from such one as che
joined the opponents of vaccination. -
! one should not speak of '.hfgh'' or
low, caliber; but, remembering the
meaning of "caliber,'' one should ap-
ply to it only such adjectives as
great" or small"
IL IS wrong to speak of consensus
OF opinion" The word Consensus, .
1tself' means an agreement of
thought, and should stand alone.

RAN 4 RACE WITH A TRAIN.
When Gen. Miles and James J. Hill

Sprinters.

Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles and Presi-
dent James j. Hill, of the Great North

exciting i'm simpromptn foot race at Bill

In company with Senator W. A.

McKinley's funeral, in Mr.. Hills pri-
vate car. They We're standing on the
platform at the extreme rear end of

engine crew ahead was busy fixing
a hot box on one of the tanks wheels.
Suddenly and without warning the
train began to move and the two men
thought it was starting out of town,
The train was short and the engine
powerful one, and in a half-coach
length would be moving at a ten-mile
rate. To get OH board they must eth
er climb over the high iron railing
that surrounded the observation plat
form or make run of so feet to the
front platform of the car. In an in
stant and without consultation both
decided to run for it, and they start
ed even. 1t was hot race while it
lasted and Gen. Miles distanced the
railway man, winning by seven feet.
just as they had mounted the plat
form the train came to standstill.
Ihe engineer was simply pulling down
to where the station platform was
lower IN order that he might work
on the hot box to better advantage.

This unanimity is too pronounced to
pass unnoticed. If the matter were
probed to the bottom, the person who
inspired many statements would proba-

only member OF the Anglo-German al

England being kept busy in the Trans
vaal, is in no position to dictate with
a fair chance Of being obeyed
His majesty is more concerned in
shutting the United States out of the

was to Undue China with terror oi

Is no concert of the powers now.
Russia has virtually withdrawn from

According to the Daily Telegraph
the idea is contemplated of leaving ou
the United States. And France, the
ally of Russia, and united by tht
iriendliest ties to America, will scarce
ly work cordially with the stumps of a

that an order be made giving the road
possession until the land could be con.
demned. but the court refused to do
this. saying that the company had had
seven years to do this and had failed.

A Brighter Outlook.

Manila, Jan. l6.-Optimism is TAX
ing the place OF conservatism among
the military men here, the cause being
the numerous surrenders, captures and
destruction of insurgent camps,
coupled with the increasing under
standing OF the Americans intentions
among the natives. The propagation
OF the principles OF the Federal party
and the knowledge that they are ap-
proved by the United States Philip
pine commission and the military au-
thorities and the carrying out of the
terms of General MacArthur's procla-
nation, which classes all who COM
nit acts inimical to the interests of
the army as rebels and traitors, are
having pointed effect The cutting Of
communications and supplies has de-
stroyed the remnants Of the insurgents
organization. The inhabitants OF the
towns are disinclined any longer to
contribute to a hopeless cause, and it
is generally believed that the paCifica-
tion of the necessary number OF prov
nces to inaugurate the scheme OF prov
ncial government will be accom-
pished before many more weeks have
elapsed. The most pronounced resist
ance at present is in remote southern
Luzon, northern Mindianao, Cebu and
Bohol.

gents who were ordered deported to
