Philippines.

Promotion for Vice Governor of the
Philippines.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 27.-General Luke
r. Wright of Memphis, Tenn, will
succeed Judge Taft as governor gen.

the Philippines commission and vice
governor of the islands. He is life
long democrat. President Roosevelt

Wright's ability and fitness for the
position of governor general. He en-
tertains sincere regard for him, both
personally and officially.
Both the president and Secretary
Root regard General Wright as a man
of proved executive ability, his SER

COST OF SHAMROCK III.
It Is Very Costly to Try for the
Cup.

1t Is Very Costly to Try for the
Cup.
The Shamrock Ill. probably cost to
build about 100000. Her five suits
of sails cost 100000. Extra spars,
riggings, furnishings and fixtures cost
$4,000. Shamrock l., which was also
brought over, had to be reftted with
new sails and the outlay for these,
with the cost of rigging, painting,
cleaning and renovating, made bill
of about $4,000. Here was half
million dollars for the two boats ready
for sailing
There are As men on each of these
racers, with wages ranging from the
captains pay of $4,000 down to $50 a
month for the sailors. In addition to
the regular wages, bonus Of SIS Is
paid to each man for coming to the
United States, and il the Shamrock
wins it will be increased considerably.
The men on the Erin will receive
about $17,500, and those of a second
tender about $4,000 This makes the
cost of the men for six months over
$4,000.
Feeding $50 men for six months is
estimated to cost $4,000. Dry dock
charges for % days are put down at
$4,000, and when to this is added the
expense for storage, painters, extra
hands and use of lighters and derricks,
the bill has grown to $4,000. A new
convoy was purchased for $4,000 to
assist the Erin, and Sir Thomas char
tered a barge, houseboat and an
excursion steamer for use during the
races. Then the entertainment bill
will be enormous. The Erin has been
crowded every day, many guests hav-
ing come from abroad to live on board
the craft. There will be open hos
pitality for several weeks, for Upton
believes in doing the thing up brown.
And when the account has been figured
up it will probably be found that the
attempt this year to lift the cup has
cost the owner of the Shamrock not
far from 100000.

Hozp Our Language Grozus,

In his article on "The Coinage of Words" In

is the Anglo Saxon dom, our doo0tj here the COM
plete word has survived in special sense, but
is no longer associated with the sufhx dom
in our linguistic consciousness. The ending

course, nothing to do with the noun hood; it is
an old had (later hod), meaning character posi-
ton station, and the like, which has long been
obsolete rs an independent noun These three
sufixes, ~ dom, and hood, old they are are
traceable, step by step, in the history Of our
language, so that they afford US excellent OPP
portunity of observing the process by which an
independent word may sink from the position Of
the second member Of a compound TO that of a
mere derivatve ending To King Alfred cild-had
was a compound word, for both parts were still
in use separately as simple nouns. To US, how
ever, childhood is no longer compound but a
mere derivative OF child, made by means OF the
abstract sufhx hood. Historically considered,
then, derivation by means of sufhxes Is form OF
composition, and we should expect TO hnd the
same freedom existing in the coinage of new
derivatives that we have already observed in the
compounding of nouns"

life upon which she is at work. a prominent

story, which he said had been made also by Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett in "The de Willough-

branch Of congress and collects his money before
it passes the other house But Mrs. Sullivan
does not make this mistake, the reviewer
might have discovered If he had read "Out OF

of the third generation Of American politicians,
she is pretty sure Of her politics well Of
