PARIS NEW SLANG WORD.
Called Into Being by the Death Of
Pope Leo.


Pope Leo.
The death Of the pope has enriched
the argot OF Paris with a new word.
A policeman is "camerlengo." The
first constable who heard himself ad.
dressed by that epithet was indeed
nonplussed. quite as much as the gen.
darme who was called centurion"
But the motto Of the Paris police Is
When In doubt, arrest your man."
and In this case the lnDovator spent
few hours at the police station be.
fore being released. According to one
authority the connection between
policeman and a camerlengo is to be
found In the silver hammer used to
thrice strike the deceased pope's brow.
A policeman is a "cogne," t. e., he
who strikes-and this furnishes the
connecting link. However that may
be, the fact remains that the word is
now In common use, and in every
street squabble at present some one
Is sure to shout, "Eh, va dono, Gamer.

surname by giving her the Christian

FL TRIUNFO
WILL GET ITS MONEY
Salvador Cannot Hold Out Against
Compromise Agreed Upon.

Although the compromise of the claim
OF FL Triunfo, recently agreed upon.
cannot become effective until the Saliva
dorean congress ratifes it, State De-
partment officials believe the Saliva
doreans Will gladly approve the terms OF
compromise and bring the trouble be-
tween that country and the United
States TO an end.
II is understood that the claim OF
$500, 900 which FL Triunfo held against
the republic of Salvador was compro-
missed on a basis of two-thirds, or about
$685.. eco.
As the claim of half million was
an award made by board of arbitra
ton, the reduction agreed TO by Col.
John p Irish, attorney for Ell Triunfo,
is considered a liberal one.
In the event that Salvador refuses to
appropriate money to settle the re-
duced claim. 1t is believed the State
Department will Immediately send war
ship to Salvador and make the collec-
ton. The principle of arbitration is at
stake in this claim. After agreeing TO
arbitration Salvador's refusal to abide
by the decision of the board was con-
sldered an objectionable violation of the
law Of nations. and its refusal to &C
cept a compromise OF the claim would
be a slap which the United States could
not endure.
