Regard to Proposed New Govern
ment Assay Offices

FORT DODGE. Iowa. April 7.-Georgs
z. Roberts. director OF the mint. ex-
plOdes the report that he may limit tho
coinage Of gold.
He says:
The mints Of the United States ara
open by Law TO the free coinage Of gold
and are bound TO receive all that IS
brought TO them The construction of the
new mint at Denver has been delayed by
the insolvency OF a contractor. but there
is a Government assay Office in that city
which meantime receives bullion and for
wards il at Government expense to the
mint at Philadelphia"
Mr. Roberts said that TIE report Of his
disposition 10 discourage gold production
had its origin in his opposition 70 several
bills for the establishment OF new assay
Offices in recently established mining dis
tricts.
"A Government assay Office" he said
''is virtually an outside agency for a
mint Bullion is received. paid for. and
transported 10 the mint at the expense Of
the government.
Naturally every new mining district
wants a Government assay Office an
opposed 10 the multiplication OF these
Offices. having been convinced that the

Booker 7. Washington Better Entitled
to Rank as a BenefaCtOT Of
Humanity"

NEW YORK. April Felix Adler yes
terday contrasted the methods and life
work OF Cecil Rhodes and Booker T.
Washington. and argued that Mr. Wash
ington is better entitled 10 rank as o
benefactor OF humanity. DIT. Adler said.
in part
"A man may scatter millions. but IL the
element OF personal love for humanity is
lacking he will not eRdear himself to the
race
The true benefactor confers not ma
fetal hu+ mental and moral benefits Re
who enables rs to rise in our own esteem
cOuIers a greater benefit than he who
satisfies for Us the cravings OF our stom-
achs
What shall we think OF Cecil Rhodes
He was a visionary with a theatrical
imagination he was no vulgar money
grabber for moneys sake. He dreamed
Of empire making and British domination
Of the world He was big. large. vast,
but not great Greatness depends upon
quality and not upon quantity.
1T IS a prOvinCialism to believe your
family better than any other family. and
equally so 90 believe one race better than
any other race Rhodes believed the An
glO-SaXOn 10 be the one ruling power Of
the world KipIing is the poet Of that ten
dency. and Rhodes was its practical ex-
pOuent-
His startling and remarkable viii. fol-
lowing his vast ideas Of uniting all Eng
disappearing races. deserves the atten-
ton of all On the other hand the scheme
for the union OF all English-speaking peO-
pie for world domination is as immoral
as impossible. and a deluslOn.
"COntrasted with Cecil Rhodes. Mr..
Washington seems Of very small stature.
He has taught his race no dream Of con-
quest, no theory OF perfect equality with
the whites He Is not an idealist. but I
think he has translated 70 his people the
highest ideals into language OF practical
use 70 do common things in an uncommon
way
ITO ny knowledge he declined an en-
gagment 10 lecture for fifty nights at
81 .BC0 a night. because he could not spare
the time from his work His work is the
welfare OF his race"

PRONUNCIATION OF "sT. LOUIS
Opinion of an Authority on a Much
Discussed Name.

Many inquiries have been received
as to the proper pronunciation of st.
Louis. The press quite generally has
discussed the subject and the sugges-
ton of legislative action has been
made. The matter has therefore been
submitted to Prof. f. Lewis Sedan,
the superintendent of public schools
of st. Louis, who is considered an au-
thority on the subject. Prof. Sedan
says: In answer to your question in
regard to the pronunciation of the
name of our city, / will say that
prefer the pronunciation, st, Lew-iss.
MY individual opinion is based on the
following facts:
The French pronunciation of
course, is "St. Loci" with the final
IS" not sounded, and somewhat of an
accent on the last syllable. In the
leading authorities Webster, The
Century, Lippincott's Gazetteer-both
pronunciations are given as allowa-
BILE, with the pronunciation est.
Lew-iss" placed first, which usually
indicates that the pronunciation
placed first is preferred. Hence, the
weight Of authority, as far as it goes,
seems to be in favor Of "St Lew-iss."
Second--The common usage in this
city, among people that have lived
here for long time, seems to be
ST. Lew-iss."
TMrd-It is a general tendency of
the English language, and especially
as used in America, to assimilate the
pronunciation of words derived from
foreign languages. I remember that
DR. McCosh, Of Princeton university,
one of the great representative Of
an older generation of scholars, pro-
nounced the word "oblige" as if it
were spelled "obleege." 1t was evil
dent that in his day the French pro-
nunciation of the word prevailed. 1t
has been superseded by the pronun-
citation now existing. The word to-
mato has passed through the success
sive stages of usage of ''to-mah-to,'
tomato" and tomato" In short,
the tendency seems to be to pro-
nounce a foreign word or name,
when first introduced, in accordance
with the original pronunciation, and
to change it gradually to pronuncia-
ton which is more idiomatic.

Mixed Eggs.


Professor Edwin Ray Lancaster was
fitting in his Office in the Natural His
tory museum, London. when he was
visited by an elderly woman. evident
ly from the country, who carried a
parcel which she handled with the
most exaggerated care. She was in a
state of great excitement and ex-
claimed:
i've got two of 'em."
1.-TWO Of what?' inquired the pro-
fessor.
"Two 'awks' eggs" replied the WON
an. I'm told they're worth a thou
sand pounds apiece"
The professor, much interested. looked
at the eggs. These are not auks' eggs, -
he said
'They are 'awks' eggs" said his Wis
itor My son Joe found 'em."
a light dawned on the naturalist.
'The kind of eggs which are so valu-
able, he remarked gently, are the
eggs Of an extinct bird called the aux
-a-u-k.'
"0h, haukr' said the woman. I'll
pay out that 'Enry 'Obhouse as told
me it was 'awks' eggs as was wanted
And she went away"

They surprised him i'll the act at the

hot pursuit. He was thin, poorly
clad young fellow In the Rue Roche
chonaut however, he suddenly disap-
peared. Judging that he had slipped
into one of the houses they set them

The thief in the meantime had entered
a bathing establishment, and after a
refreshing bath entered the box OF an
other bather and calmly clothed him

then passed proudly and peacefully
out before the very eyes Of his pur-
