The Origin of MIR. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man
was simply William or John-that
is to say, he had only Christian
name without any kind of "handle"
before it or surname after it, says the
Philadelphia Record.
Some means of Distinguishing one
John or William from another John Or
Willim became necessary. Nicknames
derived from mans trade or his
dwelling place or from some personal
popularity were tackled on to his
Christian name, and plain John be-
came John Smith. AS yet there were
no "misters'' in the land.
Some John Smith accumulated
more wealth than the bulk of his fell
lows-became perhaps a landed propri
etor or an employer of hired labor.
Then he began to be called in the
Norman French of the day the 'mais-
teri of this place or that, of these.
workmen, or of those.
In time the "maistre, or "mais-
ter" as it soon became, got tackled on
before his name, and he became
Master Smith and his wife was Mais-
tress Smith. Gradually the sense OF
possession was lost sight of, and the
title was cnoferred upon any kindly
mere possession of wealth or holding
some position of more or less import
ance.

Telephones For Railroad Service.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-The Illinois Cen
trsl railroad with a short time will
have all the principal stations along
its line equipped with telephones for
the use of officials and empolyes in
transmitting the orders and messages
of the company.
Those who have experimental with
the system claim for it many advan-
tages over the old telegraph system.
They assert that by means of the tele-
phonic system the service will be prac-
tically revolutionized that with slight
improvements. which are inevitable,
the telephone will furnish greater
safety for train orders, that the cost
of train operation will be decreased
and the results obtained made vastly
better, and that no less important is
the constant personal contract between
officials and employees, which the
promoters say is certain to result in a
higher class of service. The installa-
tion of the system will cost about 500
per mile or approximately s54o, 600
to equip the entire road, including its
main branches and the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley road.

OBSTACLES TO THE SALE HAVE
ALL BEEN REMOVED - THE

TO AN ISSUE.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The supple

commission on the proposition OF the
Panama Canal company, to dispose OF
its property to the United States 1or
$40. 600. 600 was delivered to President
Roosevelt this evening. The members
of the commission refuse TO discuss
the nature of the report and Ike re-
ticence was maintained at the White
House. but it was stated on excellent
authority that the report unanimously
recommended that the offer OF the
Panama company be accepted. Ehe

which must be taken in order to IN,
sure a perfect title to the United
States for, in addition to the present
Panama Canal company the old organ
ization and the Colombian govern
ment must be reckoned with. The re-
port finds, however, it is said, that
the new company can give a clear
title. 1t is stated that the report
SAYS that when the commission made
its recent report favoring the Nicara-
guam route no offer to sell to this gov
ernment had been made by the Pana-
ma. company. The offer of $40, 600, 00oo,
made in behalf of the company, it is
said, changed the situation complete
". It is also stated that the report
shows that little over LOCO shares OF
Panama railroad stock is owned by
individuals outside the Panama Canal
company and that these can be pur-
chased for comparatively small sum.
Other obstacles to the sale, the report
saws. also have been removed.

the house of representatives was occu-
pied today in general debate upon an al
urgent deficiency appropriation blll:
An item in the bill carrying sou, ,ooo
for a military post at Manila precipl-
tated long discussion which took
wide range, drawing into TIE DEBATE
some of the ablest debaters on both
sides of the house. A semi-humorous
speech bv Nh. Clark of Missouri ellc-
tied a reply from Mr.. Cannon OF llli-
nois. which in turn drew the fire of
Mr.. DeArmond of Missouri. Others
who participated were Mr.. Richard
son, Tenn; Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio;
Mr.. Alexander of New York; Mr.
Grow of Pennsylvania Mr.. Williams
of Illinois and Mr.. Underwood OF
Alabama.
Mr.. Cannon in charge of the de,
fciency bill explained that it provided
for the government service for the
current fiscal year where existing ap-
propriations were not sufficient. Ihe
bill carried SIG. 704, 230.
Mr.. Richardson, the Democratic
leader, pressed Mr.. Cannon to know
under what law it was proposed to
appropriate s5O0,000 for military
post at Manila.
The chairman of the appropriations
committee replied that there was no
snecifc law to establish such mill
tary post, but whether under the gen
eral organization Of the army in the
field such an appropriation was IN or
der it would remain for the chairman
of the committee of the whole to
determine when the appropriation was
reached. !.
is proposed to appropriate under the
wal department is to go to the Philip
pines?'' Mr.. Richardson asked.
ONLY this $500, 900 is to go to the
PHILIPPINES direct,'' replied Mr.. Can
non, who proceeded to argue that the
treaty with Spain imposed upon the
United States certain duties relative
to the Philippines which might make
such an appropriation in order. lie
thought it as wise to have an army
post at Manila as to have one at
| Chicago or any other place IN this
country.
When pressed for an explanation as
TO the reason for the proposed appro-
priation of $4,000 for the emergency
fund of the State department, MI.
Cannon admitted that it was for the
entertainment of Prince Henry of Ger
sFrom every standpoint, !" said Mr..
Cannon, .sI believe it is appropriate
and proper that there should be salt

tive of a great people beyond the sea

Mr.. Livingston of Georgia, the
ranking minority member of the ap-
preparation committee, did not think
