CURRENT COMMENT
 The Lobster.

There is no way of applying the laws of etymology or logic to slang. A new word, or an old words new meaning starts from somewhere or nowhere In | a month or two it is heard on all sides. and even the purists understand all though they refuse to use or recognize the interloper. Each season sees scores of such appearances. The ma jority are soon forgotten, but few cling persist ently to the language, and as the years pass. make their way from the colo quial back stairs to the literary draw ing room. We can never tell what Will be pure English a generation hence. Therefore there is good excuse for occa- s.jnal investigation of one oi il csc pop ular Arrangements of euitaphs.
 For example the word lobster when seen in print conveys only the mental impression of the shellfish that by passing from it's green normally through the ordeal of fire, reaches palatable apotheosis in the chafng dish. Yet we read in the dispaiches this morning that a Lieutenant Stark. of Richmond, Va, has been Gishunor- ably discharged from the militia end sentenced to spend two months in me city jail because he called brother officer a lobster" while in a state of intoxication.
 How did lobster ever become term of opprobrium? Who first linked the crustacean with humanity? Dumb as an oyster, stupid as a clam, rapa- cious as a shark-all these thinks are understandable. But what possible reason can there be for the sea-change that causes the name of this modest, retiring palatable benefactor of coast wise humanity to be expressive of deadly insult? The ruling of the Vir- ginia courts implies that slang has treated the lobster more harshly in the Old Dominion than in the metropolis, where in the parlance of the region

On Writing.

We have received from an ingenious youth the following request for advice:
 "1 am ambitious to become an author and you will do me a great favor by giving me some advice about the best way to prepare myself to become q great writer"
 We are sorry that we have not at hand any infallible recipe for forming great writers; but as the advice is asked in good faith we shall give the best counsel we have:
 The aspirant is advised to start with sound. vigorous and acute mind of originality and power; to seize the rich spoil of the ages contained in the great books where the thought and the ex- perience of great minds are stored; to master the subject about which he wishes to write; and to be sure. es- pecially, that he possesses that swarm of ideas" which Johnson attributed to Edmund Burke. This is a suitable preparation. The old reprobate. Sir Pitt Crawley. said to his charwoman, Tinker: Save your fardens, old link. and the pounds will come quite nat'ral. ? So it is with authorship. Possess the qualities and accomplishments needed and the writing will be comparatively easy.
 To become a great" writer presents another difficulty; it requires genius. which. says Don Quixote is granted by the particular favor of heaven."- Philadelphia Ledger and Times.

William Mckinley.

On this day and on every fourteenth day of September a dark shadow will be cast across the land for then the memory of the tragic taking off of the greatest American of his time. will be awakened. The death of MT. Mckinley is not mourned now because great leader is gone. for in the course of events great leaders must go and We know that the republic will be safe. The dead president is mourned rather as a man whom all loved better than they knew until he was stricken and dying. In the darkness of the valley of the shadow of death the excellence of his mind was more easily discernible than it had been in the glare and ex- citement of political life.
 We may say that the limit of his greatness was never reached and we cannot know how far beyond his achievements might have been bound- ed He came into public life as con- gressman from a comparatively ob- scure district. He was a persistent ad- vocate of a protective tariff. So devoted was he to that idea that many believed him to be a man of one idea and his enemies attributed his zeal to the circumstance that his district was q beneficiary of the protective system.
 But the greater mind of Mckinley was engaged in the promotion of pros perity, not of his district. but in the development of the industrial resources of the whole country. His one idea was a broad one. It is true that his work in congress was chiefly for pro- tection and it overshadowed his achieve ments, great as they were, in other di- rections. But the fact could not be concealed that he was a wise and safe man if not already a great one.
 Later more complex problems were presented to him and he set about their solution with the same energy and zeal and wisdom with which he had pur- sued his "one idea" and with the same degree of success.
 He grew with his surroundings and rose slowly or rapidly as the eXt- gencies of the occasion required.
 His stature increased greatly with the outbreak of the war with Spain. There were possibilities of serious mis- takes but whether Mr. Mckinley moved slowly or swiftly he made none. What appeared to be makeshifts or experi- ments demanded by the hour, have since been found to be incidents of a great and permanent policy whose wis dom has been acknowledged.
 It was so throughout his whole career to the untimely end which We celebrate today. New responsibilities brought out new traits in Mir. McKin- ley's character. He developed a re- markable faculty for gathering and assimilating details, an essential 7of genius. His pentrating intellect rem

An Incurabls Addiction.

The editors, proprietors and Silent
 Partner Ives of the CitiZen-Enterprise seem to be hopelessly afflicted with mania. since the word mania implies predilection. for something. Perhaps the ailment might be better described | by the coinage of the word, Murphy rabies; Murphyphobia is still better.
 In a late issue of both papers it was said "Murphy's administration will be one of the issues of the campaign and he should be compelled to take the stump and defend it himself" Does the Citizen Enterprise think political | issue has as many lives as cat? We believe that if the Murphy administra | tion was ever an issue it ceased to be one when the late legislature got through with it and endorsed it in spite of the exertions of Eugene s. Ives, whose efforts kept him in a con stant condition of redfacedness. The issue, if it was ever an issue, died then and there, simultaneously with the eX piration of the political influence of MT. Ives.
 | Out of the superabundance of his wind MT. Ives blew what he imagined to be the breath of life into it again and attempted to make it an issue in the courts. It never became one there. It was not the opinion of the court that there was anything at issue
 A less persistent pursuer of issues than MT. Ives would by this time have sought some other occupation: he would have hunted for live issue. | He. too, would probably have done so if he had been lat himself" but he had the territorial convention from his Yuma pocket borough and there he tried again to raise the Murphy issue. He presented to the caucus a plank as saulting former Governor Murphy in that rabid style which characterized his attacks upon the executive during the meeting of the legislature. The caucus decided that Murphy was not an issue.
 Is the affliction of the Citizen Enter prise and Silent Partner Ives incura- ble? O! that there were some place where men could go to get relief from all kinds of rabies. Why has not some Pasteur discovered a specific for Mur- phyphobia.
 A democratic legislative assembly in which there were only three republi- can members refused to obey the order of the democratic president of the council, Silent Partner Ives and pro- nOunce the Murphy administration to be an issue. The court decided that it was not one and now the territorial convention of democrats from which no democrat ought to appeal has emphas- ized the findings of the legislature and the court and MT. Ives has been order ed elsewhere with the child of his brain. There ought to be some place in the world where he could lay his burden down.
 We suppose that Governor Murphy will, as any other good republican take part in the republican campaign this fall. He will perhaps take the stump. but he will certainly waste no time in defending his administration, which the legislature, the court, and the territor- ial democratic convention have said needs no defense.

IMPORTANT NEW EVIDENCE.

Woman Enter the Basement of
the House of Death.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24-Whether not the
exhuming of the remains buried in Calvary
Cemetery as the body of Minnie Mitchell
shall develop that the missing girls family
was correct in accepting the body as that
of their missing daughter, the police have
secured ample evidence to indicate that
some young woman was lured into the
basement of the Bartholin house on the
Wednesday night that William Bartholin
and his sweetheart vanished from sight.
An important witness, whose name will
not be made public for the present. has been
found. He is business man whose home is
not far from the Bartholin house Ac-
cording to this witness he alighted from a
Forty-thlrd street car soon after o'clock,
babe adieu to the Mitchell family on the
steps of the house at 604 FOrty-fourth street.
He walked along Calumet avenue, and his
walk led him past the BarthOlin home. AS
ne went by he noticed woman, apparent
ly quite young, standing on the grass plot
in front of the building. The pedestrian
had gone beyond the Bartholin residence
when he heard a mans voice, and. looking
back, he could just discern figure out
lined against the staircase leading TO the
basement, which two weeks ago gave UP
Mrs Bartholin's body.
The man on the steps, who is assumed to
have been William BarthOlin, said some
thing that could not be heard, and the girl
responded, asking why the first speaker
wanted her TO go into the Filthy base

progressed some distance in his walk the

NEWARK, n. J., Aug. A.-Five thousand
witnessed exciting bike races at the Walls
burg track to-day. The weather was per-
feet and the finishes close. The entry list
was heavy. which caused crowding in some
of the contests and many bad falls. One
man was carried from the track uncon-

The five-mile race for professionals was
unique in that no similar race was ever held
in this country The contest was arranged
for a gruelling battle and such it proved
to be- There was a prize of s. each for the
lap winners and prize of $50 for the lead
er of each mile. Thirty-one started and
the pace was so fast that only sixteen were
left at the end of three miles and only ten
men finished the five miles. Champion Kra-
mer and Floyd Mcfarland composed one
team, Martin and Beauchamp another, and
the two Bedells third. keegan and Butler
also teamed. as did kuhlke and De Palma
Kramer captured the prizes for the first
second third and NTH miles. while Arm
burster won at four miles. The time for the
race was 10:45 l-5.
The two-nile consolation for profession
