THEIR ORIGIN is PRosAIc.
Vehicles Now In Common Use Were
Not Christened In Romance.


Vehicles Now In Common Use Were
! Not Christened In Romance.
Men who in these days hire hack
never stop to inquire how the vehicle
they engage TO wheel them to their
homes or to a depot got its name. 1t
suffices to know that everybody else
calls it a hack, and to them it is sim
ply that and nothing more. The origi-
nal hacks were termed hackney coach
es because they were drawn by hack
neys, a name applied to easy going,
safe pacing horses.
Coach is derived from the French
coche, diminutive form Of the Latin
conchula, a shell, in which shape the
body of such conveyances was original
ly fashioned. Seldom if ever is the
full term omnibus" applied to those
heavy, numbering vehicles found in so
many large cities. With the character
istic brevity of English speaking races
the title has been changed to "bus"
These were first seen in Paris in 1927,
and the original name of omnibus is de-
rived from the fact that it first ap-
peared on the sides of each conveyance,
being nothing more than the Latin word
signifying "foE all"
Cab is an abbreviation of the italian
word capriola, which was changed to
cabriolet in French. Both words have
a common e-cabriole-signi-
flying goats leap. The exact reason
for giving it this strange appellation is
unknown unless because of the light
ness and springiness of the vehicle in
its original form.
In some instances the names of spe-
cial forms of carriages are derived
from the titles of the persons who in
troduced them. The brougham was
first used by the famous Lord Brough-
am, and William ". who was origi-
nally the Duke of Clarence. gave the
latter name to his favOrite conveyance.
The popular hanson derives its name
from its introducer, Mr.. Hansen, and
the tilbury. at one time very fashion
able two wheeled vehicle, was called
from a sporting gentleman of the same
name.
Landau, a city in Germany, was the
locality in which was first made the
style of vehicle bearing that name.
Sulky, as applied to wheeled con-
veyance, had its origin in the fact that
when it first appeared the person who
saw it considered that none but a
sulky, selfish person would ride in such
an affair, which afforded accommoda-
ton TO but one individual. The strange
title was never changed.
Coupe is French in origin, being de-
rived from the verb couper (coopay). to
cut. This was considered an appropri-
ate designation because it greatly re-
sembled a coach with the front part
cut off.
The old fashioned gig was given that
name from its peculiar jumping and
rocking motion, the word being from
the French gigue, signifying jig or a
lively dance.-Chicago Chronicle.

Presldent win Get a Bear.

Tucson, Ariz., March 25. - Fifty
eight rough riders of Bisbee and
Southern Arizona, finding that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will confine his timer
airy to the northern part of the terri
tory, have arranged an excursion to
Grand Canyon. where they will greet
their former leader. Desiring to give
the president some appropriate token
of their esteem. they have secured q
large black bear, captured in Sonora,
and will present it to him when they
meet him at the canyon. They realize
that it will be somewhat awkward for
the president to carry a live bear
around with him, but they have de-
cided that he will get at least one bear
on his western trip.

Rescues An Entire Family From Suf-
location In Richmond Blaze.
Richmond, Va, March pa mother,
father, infant and servant were res
cued by fremen from suffocation in a
fire which occurred early yesterday

gered. The household consisted Of R..
L. Charles, his wife and infant son,
and a servant named Rosa Carter.
Fireman E. H. Harris reached the
third floor by means of a ladder He
found the room dense with smoke and
the family fast becoming suffocated.
He snatched up the baby, wrapped it
in his coat and handed it to another
fireman then on the ladder who car
ried it to a place of safety. Returning,
Mr.. Harris wrapped Mrs. Charles in
quilt and then carried her to the win
dow and handed her to a third fireman,
who landed her in safety. Mr. Charles
was then awakened and descended the
ladder with the assistance of Fireman
Harris.
The servant when aroused became SO
excited that she started to climb down
the ladder head first and would have
been dashed to pieces on the ground
below but for fremen who set her
right and assisted her in reaching the
street.

MITCHELL is PLEASED
Says Decision of Strike Commission Il
a Victory For the Miners.

Says Decision of Strike Commission Is
a Victory For the Miners.
Detroit, Mich, March 23.-"The de
cision of the anthracite coal strike
commission is on the whole a decided
victory for the miners, and 1 am
pleased with it," said President John
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
of America, in an interview Saturday
night. The anthracite miners of Penn
sylvania have reason to be much
pleased with the commissions awards,
and am sure that they are" he said.
In reply to a question as to whether
the miners were given as much as
had been hoped for, Mr.. Mitchell an
swered after an instant's deliberation:
Il do not care to say"
President Mitchell was asked if he
was disappointed because the commits
sion did not recognize the union for
mally, and he replied that he was not,
because the decision of the commits
sion and its awards were in themselves
recognition of the power and influence
of the United Mine Workers.
AFTER the increase of wages given
the miners" said Mr. Mitchell, "the
most important of the awards, from
the miners standpoint, are the ones
fixing nine-hour day and providing
for board of conciliation. The award
gives a nine-hour day with ten hours
pay directly to 10000 men, and practi-
cally all of the other employees of the
anthracite mines will get a nlne-hour
day by reason of their comrades
shorter hours. The provision for a
board of conciliation will result in
great good. and 1 am much pleased
with 1t. It will compel investigation
Of both sides of controversies. Will the
miners stand by the commissions re-
port and awards? They unquestion-
ably will"
