AS SHE Is SPOKE.
Funny Attempts of Foreigner to
Overcome the Difficulties of the
English Language.

English Language.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Baron Mikosch, the Hungarian no.
bleman who became famous through
out Europe by his endless series of
blunders, was prouder, perhaps, Of his
knowledge of English than Of any other
accomplishment That he did not
speak the language with absolute per-
lection never seemed TO occur to him,
any more than the fact that unusual
and uneeremonious. methods of saying
things might strike Englishmen and
Americans as ridiculous. This, per-
haps, was not to be wondered at, see
ing that part of his. knowledge. at
least, had been acquired from the
phonetically spelled pages of Josh Bill
ling's works, which an American wag,
to whom he had appealed for guidance
in English literature, had presented to
him. Thereafter it was impossible to
persuade the baron that American"
was not a language distant from that
spoken in the British Isles.
Although unwilling to admit the pos
sibility that his mastery of English
at the moment was not complete. the
baron most illogieally was open to
flattery on his progress in the lam
guage.

The French In Canada.

From the New York Commercial.
Marion Edwin Of Georgia, the United
States district attorney who has for a
year past been following up the gov
eminent case against the Gaynors and
Greene is now in Washington. He
wouldn't talk to reporters on that case,
however, but did say this:
I'm Montreal and Quebec l have be-
come acquainted with many French
men and have learned much concerns
ing their attitude toward Great Brit
ain. The educated French people In
Canada realize that the provinces are
practically independent of England
and have control of their own sffairs.
One Frenchman said to me that the
people of Canada enjoy the benefits
Of the magnificent consular system Of
Great Britain without being compelled
to pay to maintain 1t. He explained
that the consular system is of inesti-
mable value to the commercial inter-
ests of Canada, and remarked that

THE TWO ASPHALT COMPANIES.
New Corporation Proposed With
1871, 100000 Capital.


31,OOO,cOO Capital.
Philadelphia. July 2o.--The plan of
reorganization of the Asphalt Com
pany of America and the National
Asphalt Company, which companies
are in the hands of receivers, was
made public tonight by two commit
tees that have been examining the
condition of the companies. The plan
provides that the property of, the two
companies shall be acquired by a new
corporation, which is to have a capital
of 1000, 900, of which $14O0O.O0O is to
be 5 per cent. preferred, and SIT ,000,-
900 common stock.
Accompanying the reorganization
plan were the separate reports of the
two committees to their respective Sc
curity holders. The national committee
quote from a letter of Receivers Hen
ry Tattnal and John M. Mack in
which they say the new company
should have an annual income of APP
proximately 100000 a year.
The report of the American commit
tee goes into the history of the organ
izatiop of the American and National
companies, and referring to the over
capitalization in the organization of the
American company, the committee
says: "--
Bought at Any Old Price.

the management of the asphalt COM
pany of America aimed at removing
all competitors from the field almost
regardless of coast, and yet after the
expenditure of those enormous sums

that it has been advised by counsel
that 1t is neither within it's province
nor power to undertake litigation
against the promoters and managers
of various sub-companies, and ire

that the best commercial results are
