A Now Service Without Parallel

There is ample justification for
the claim made by The Chicago Re-
cord Herald that it's readers enjoy
every day in the week, Sundays in
cluded, a news service that is with
out parallel in range and complete
ness. The reason is obvious-the
combination of the varied and ex-
tensive facilities of the two great
dailies, The Chicago Record and
The Chicago Times-Herald. In ad-
dition to the independent news faci.
llties of both papers, The Record
Herald receives the complete news
service of the New York Herald, the
New York Tribune aud the Associ-
ated Press; and when it is consid-
cred that it's news columns are sup
plemented by all the special feat
ures so popular in the Chicago Re-
cord and the Chicago Times-Herald,
it will be seen that the Record-Her.
aid holds a unique place among the
great newspapers of the Unite d
States.

suLTRY JUNE.
Stormy Conditions With High
Temperature During Month.

Following is a summary OF the
weather for June as laid down by
Hicks;
Storm conditions from 4th to 9th,
high temperature. From 9th to 9Th
cooler. About Sunday the 9th to
Wednesday the 18th many electro
cal storms, with rain and possible
violence, will most likely occur.
The annual June showers are ma
turally to be looked for from this
time until near the end of the month.
Very warm, murky weather will
prevail about the above dates and
heavy rain storms will visit many
sections.
The Vulcan storm period extend
ing from the Doth to the 10Th will
bring the elimination of the June
solstice storms. For number OF
days there will be a repetition OF
intense and vivid electrical storms,
with cloudburst here and there.
Some narrow localities will have
too much rain and local floods; but
Immediately after we pass out OF
the June rains it will be found that
the greater part of the country is
short of moisture, and general rains
will be needed to mature the crops
in most central, western and north
ern sections. Some of the most de-
cided storms Of the month are pro
bable about Friday the 21st, to
Tuesday the 25th.

Meaning of the Name.

Authors differ as to the meaning
of the name. According to Dr..
Darlington, Archives Americana,
it is a Mohawk word signifying
"among the meadows and Johnson
IN "Iudiau Tribes of Ohio, claims
it is Shawanese, meaning Eat the
head of a river, and others give it
still different definitions. Prob
ably the earliest writer to give
its meaning as 1.-The Dark and
Bloody Ground was Ellison (l785)
who says the country was SO de-
nominated by the Indians when
Finley Travelled through it about
1867. This statement was adopted
by succeeding historians and came
into use, though Filson gave no
authority for it, and there is moth,
ing extant that this writer knows
of to sustain it-certainly nothing
from the Indians themselves.

Both the country and the river
that now bear the beautiful name,
"Kentucky were so called be
the Indians ages before the COM
ing Of their white destroyers. The
Indians also called the river "Che.
noca" a .word which still dis
tinguishes a mountain spur in Bell
county, Ky, but the name they
used by far the most was ken
lucky" In coming into use among
the whites early in the eighteenth
century the word varied as to form
and pronunciation according to the
users knowledge of the Indian
tongusf John Sailing, who was
prisoner among the Cherokees for
some years before 1886, and who
must have been somewhat familiar
with their language, gives the name
as we now have it, when he says
they took him Ito the salt places OF
Kentucky. Alexander McGinty.
who had also been held by the
Indians deposed in 1883 that they
captured him con the south bank of
the Cantucky," and Col. George
Croghan (not the Major Croghan, of
Fort STEPHENSON who was tor so
many years British Agent among
the six Nations and an authority IN
savage affairs, speaks in his jour
nal of 1765 of "the River Ken
lucky" DR.. Thomas Walker Q75O)
ignores the Indian name, ifhe knew
it. Christopher Gst O75l) gives it
in corrupted form as "Cuttaway, -
and Lewis Evans Q75o), who only
caught the name from traders, put
it down on his map as "Cuttawa. "
Known as Louisa.
Kentucky seems never to have
been known by any but Indian
names until short time before
IT'S, when Louisa came into linn
tied use among the whites. The
generally accurate Bradford help
ed to perpetrate the error that the
Kentucky river was given the Eng
lish name Louisa" by Dr. Walker,
but not only does Marshal declare
that Walker did not reach the in
terror of the county, but later writ
ers assert that it was a tributary
of the Big SandY-as given on JET
ferson's map-that the explorer OF
1850 so named. n was some time
after Walker tour before the name
of this tributary was applied to the
country itself, and-then, fortunate
iy, it quickly subsidized before the
original and Indian name, which
after many vicissitudes among the
whites as to spelling and pronuncia.
tIon, came into prominent use as
the Indians themselves pronounced
it "Kentucky."

DEWET KILLED PRISONERS
And Cannot Hope for Amnesty in Case
OF Surrender.

London. March 16-A special dispatch
from Durham, Natal says the Boer COM
manders are holding meeting at Piet-
ersburg, in north IN Transvaal to discuss
the pO ton and the advisable of a con-
tinuation of the war.
Whatever the result of the peace nego-
tiations between General Kitchener and
General Dewet, it is tolerable certain
that the rumOrs of the inclusion of Gen.
eral Dewet in any form of amnesty are
not based on fact. General Kitcheners
personal views of the Boer leader are not
known i'm Pail Mall but if the war office
is consulted the officials there would
rather see Dewet killed in action than
taken alive. One of the officials respon-
sble for the direction of the affairs of the
army. said to a representative of the AS
sociated Press:
81 cannot see how Kitchener can pos
sibly accept Dewet's surrender. If he
ever gets him he will be obliged to try
him for his recent alleged murders OF
prisoners. I have no doubt that the ver-
dict Of either a military or a civil court
would be death and If such a verdict was
corr.ed out there would be a horrible
how on the continent and in America.
AMI. indeed one would be sorry to see
sur', a brave fighter meet such an end
There 'ore. we can only hope Dewet will
eitNer be let out Of the country or shot
in battle"

SULTAN WILL
NOT PAY BILLS
NOR WILL He GET HIS FINE new
CRUISER.
A CLEVER MOVE OF GERMANY
INSISTED ON BEING PAID BEFORE
HE BOUGHT MORE GOODS
BLUFF WORKED.

New York. March 16.--A special to the
Times from Washington says:
The arrangement by which the sultan
of Turkey was to pay his debts to the
United States under cover of purchase
of a cruiser from the Cramps has fallen
through. The Cramps have not begun
work on the Turkish cruiser, and Will
not do SO. The prime cause OF the
failure Of the device SO ingeniously
contrived by the sultan was the shrewd
move of Germany, recorded in European
dispatches last December.
Germany was determined that II the
American claims were paid, hers should
be paid as well. 1t was impossible to
assume that the American claims would
be paid. for the sultan had SO cieverty
contrived the payment that he could
merely reply to Germany that he was
only buying a warship. Germany then
demanded, not the payment Of an in
demnity, but the payment of bill
owing to the Krupp concern for armOr
before she bought any more material.
This move of Germany, it is now learn
ed has been completely successful. The
sultan was able to pretend that he was
not going to pay the American indem-
nifty, but he could not pretend that he
was not negotiating with the Cramps
for ship. The negotiations with the
Cramps, therefore, had to fail.

Lieut.. Gen. Trias:

Immediately took the oath of allegiance

NO TROUBLE To
GET THE NEWS
LONDON PAPERS CAN BUY
OTHER GOOD MEN. :
CIVIL LIST WAS PUBLISHED
BUT THERE WILL BE OTHER
TRAITORS WHEN THE PRES
ENT crop IS GONE.

London, March 16.-The members of
the house of commons are greatly
stirred up by the London Times al
legged breach Of secrecy in regard to pub
fishing in advance the governments S
civil list proposals. A curious feature
which has not leaked out in
the papers is the implication of
the Birmingham Post in the same
charges, and there is half humorous
and half serious attempt upon the' part
of the Irish members to connect Joseph
Chamberlain with the affair. The Bir-
mlnghan Post is one of Mr. Chamber
lain's warmest supporters, and if the
liberals can get this organ punished the.
will take it as a personal score of the
much disliked colonial secrecy. A con-
servative member of parliament told 9
representative of the Associated Press
that a majority Of his party would b
delighted to see the London Times sus-.

idea of seriously affecting it's news SER

Mr.. Balfour. the government leader in
the house of commons; Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman, the liberal leader and
Mr.. Gulley the speaker, have been con-
sulting together during the week
Among the suggestions which they will
consider is one to examine all the mem
bers of the civil list committee sepa-
rately under oath, and so run down the
culprit.
The Daily Mail prints an editorial ir
this connection headed Unusually Direct

which it says:
"Should the speaker, as he certainly

DOING HARM.
HIS MILLIONS WILL DO GOOD

New York, March 16.-Discussing the
conditional offer OF Andrew Carnegie to
give $5.2O0,000 for a system of public
libraries for New York city, Bishop
Potter is quoted in the World as saying:
Mr.. Carnegie must be credited with
having performed a most noble deed in
making such an offer to the city. The
least the city can do is to provide the
sites for the proposed branch libraries.
1t is by such deeds as this by Mr.. Car
negie that nation is uplifted.''
Seth Low-"Such a stupendous gift
marks the epoch in philanthropy"
Edward M. Shepard-"Mr. Carnegie's S
gifts go far toward relieving that diff
cult problem-how the rich man can
give money without corrupting the re-
cipient. The requirement Of self-deny-
ing and cooperation by the beneficiary
seems to me the most admirable feature
Of these marvellous and noble gifts.''
DR.. c. H. Parkhurst-"This is fine
specimen of judicious magniicence.''
