CORRECT SPELLING.

Josh Billings Cor possibly it was Ar
temus Ward said that a man who
couldn't spell a word more than one
way was a "fule." According to bis
philosophy, a written language was
| merely a mode of conveying thought
and just so the thought was conveyed
intelligently the language should lot
be bound by rules of photography.
Nevertheless the person who spells a
word in more than one way, and in
variably spells it the wrong way, is re-
garded by educated people as being,
not "fule," but more or less ignorant.
Spelling is the first step taught in pri-
mary education. 1t is one of the COM
pulsory studies in the graded schools
yet there are numbers of graduates
of high schools and colleges who never
master it. Is it because not sufficient
stress is laid on the value of correct
| spelling? 1t is not an uncommon thing
| in newspaper offices to find, in manu-
sripts submitted by even people in
the learned professions, ordinary words
wrongly spelled. In business letters,
dictated to stenographers, incorrect
spelling is very common.
For the purpose of improving the
spelling in social, professional and
business correspondence, Prof David
Jones of Missouri has inaugurated a
spelling reform crusade" He thinks
that no institution of higher learn
ing, and no business college, should
issue diplomas to students until Uhey
| rank 100 in spelling. Correct spelling
cation" he asserts, land the failure
to recognize this is the cause of much
! dissatisfaction in the business world
! to-day" The average typewriter and
stenographer, fresh from a commercial
college, is more than apt to be deficient
in spelling. Proficiency in shorthand
or typewriting may have been acquired
! without the instructor detecting a de-
| ficiency in spelling; but this latter
shows itself quickly when a position
| is secured and correspondence is be-
gun. The professor tells ofSa young
stenographer who applied for work
| The shorthand notes were readily taken
in a test, and the matter was correctly
and quickly read from the notes. But.
pardon me-" observed the prospective
employer, "can you spell?" "Oh, my
spelling never troubles me in the least, +"
was the cheerful response. Later the
employer found that to be the abso-
lutte truth; the spelling did not trouble
the stenographer in the least, but it
troubled the employer and his CORE
spondents quite a good deal. The
young man or young woman seeking
employment who can write a concisely
formed and correctly spelled applica-
ton, is usually the person to be chosen
for the position sought

The House is going to cut out the
100000 for ex-Queen Liliuokalani of
Hawaii, inserted by the Senate, on the
ground that if Congress were to give
her this money some of it might find it's
way into the hands of lobbyists. There
doesn't seem to be any contention that
the woman's claim is not a just one
and should be paid, but the virtuous
congressman do not want the lobby
lists TO get any of the money. They
would prefer that injustice be done to
the claimant than that one dollar
should go into the hands of any attor-
ney or other persons who worked for
the passage of the item through Con-
gress. If the congressional conscience
were as keen with respect to all leg
islation. there is an infinite variety of
it that would be thrown out. A sub
marine boat item was passed, notwith-
standing the Doblin scandal

1t is reported to be likely that the
New York militia will be left outside
the National Guard organization. The
new militia law provides that the Ma
tional Guard of the states shall be arm
ed with the regular army service rifle.
and an appropriation of $2,000,000 for
the current year is made for the benefit
of the militia organizations complying
with the requirements of the law. The
New York militiamen, according to
Maj. Gen. Charles F. Roe, commanding
the organization of that state, much
prefer the old Springfield rifles with
which they are now armed and object
to giving them up for the Krag-Jor
gensen pieces. The government has no
Springfield ammunition and will not
manufacture more, nor will it consent
for the New York militia to retain its
old arms and share in the fund pro
vided by Congress for the National
Guard.

1t appears that not all Of the ''blood-
less surgery" operations performed in
Chicago by DR.. Lorenz, the Viennese
specialist, were successful. The plas-
ter casts have been removed from
three of the patients in whose cases the
treatment seems to have been more or
less a failure. In one case the knee
was found to be dislocated and an
other operation will have to be per-
formed. In another case the disloca-
ton of the hip had not been reduced
and the child is virtually in the same
condition she was before DR.. Lorenz
operated. In the third case il was
found that while the hip bone had
been placed in the socket and remained
there, the bone was very much awrv
and the child is still a cripple. In the
case of the little Armour child. for
the treatment of which the Viennese
came to this country, the plaster cast
will not be removed until next week.
The child is able to walk and even
run, and there are hopes that she has
been cured.

George H.. Hadley was arrested by
Constable Wilson yesterday afternoon
charged with inveigling young girls
into the opera house for immoral pur-

BIG STRIKE THREATENED.
! Southern acific May Come in for ;
Tie-up.

1t is said that to-doy is the
day set for the Southern Pacific boil
er makers and mechanics to ioin in
the Union Pacific strike. At Wads-
worth and other terminal stations on
the road there is a large amount of
work on hand in rebuilding locomot-
ives. and employees consider it an
opportunt time to take action as the
rolling stock is needed to move per-
fshable freight, which must be shipp.
ed by the Ogden route, as it needs to
be iced in transit to reach its destinat
ion in marketable condition. A tie
up at this time would force Hartman
to receede from his position with
the men on the Union Pacific or sus
tain heavy losses. So far the strike
on the Union Pacific has entailed q
loss of nearly 100000 to that com
pany. while that of the strikers ap
proximates 100000 and these are re
ceiving monthly contributions from
the federated unions.

J. p. JONES STILL WEALTHY.
A Statement that will Surprise Man,
Nevadans.

The many friends of Senator John
P. Jones in Nevada , ,c'ld be sur
prised to receive an authentic state
ment that he is wealthy, and yet he is
a man who has possessed and lost a
dozen fortunes. A dispatch to New
York Commercial announces that Sen
ator jones has arrived in the City Of
Mexico, and after speculation as to
what Investment the Senator will
make there, continues:
Senator Jones has been investing
his money In all sorts of ventures
ever since the Comstock mines in
which he was heavily interested dur
ing their most productive period, and
out of which he drew fortune Of
about 75,OO0,0OO gold" says Mr.. Gil
len, $50 SUDDENLY we're these mines
worked, out that the Senator foand
himself with his millions on his
hands without any visible outlet for
incomemaking.
Senator Jones has invested money
in many countries since the collapse
of the Comstock. He has acquired a
few million dollars worth of min
ing property in Mexico. a. we'll ~ in
Central America, He ownsvaluable
silver mines in Costa RIGA near Pun.
tarenas, at which he is at present en-
ploying LOO men. He has many
mines in Mexico. but most Of them
are small. So far the senator has
confined himself almost entirely to
investments in mines. Outside OF
these he has made an investment t1
approximately $S,OOO,OOO at Santa
Monica, Cal. During the past two
years he has devoted himself more
than ever toward organizing compa
MES for the development of mines
and it is the supposition that he re
tired from politics in order to attend
to his financial schemes.
Mr.. Jones will very likely take ad
vantage of the present prosperous
times for the investment of some OF
his capital in Mexico. Along with his
friend, Senator Dorsey, who is very
much attracted in plantations, he will
organize some company for operat
ions along the isthmus. Some time
ago Senator Dorsey had the formati
on of a corporation for the cultiva
milton of rubber and coffee in the
Tehuantepec region under considera
ton but was obliged to let it pass
on account of a mining deal which
came up at that time"
