FERTILIZATION OF ENGLISH.
Many Ways in which the Language
Enriches Itself.

many ways IN winch tine Language
Enriches Itse1f.
In an article In Harper's Magazine
on hat he is pleased to call "Ameri-
canisms" and Criticisms" Prof.
Brander Matthews points out some Of
the advantages to the language of the
growth Of provincialisms In word and
phrase. One reason for regarding them
with equanimity is the fact that most
Of these localisms are inept and USE
less, and their life is, therefore very
brief even In their own locality. Those
which are most vigorous survive In the
land Of their origin and of these some
few may In time spread abroad and
strike root everywhere that English Is
spoken. So far from their being any
real danger of the dehlement of the
language by the profusion of Britt
cisms and Americanism of Canadian
isms and Australianisms, of New Zea-
landisms-if such exist, as, no doubt,
they do-English is really the most for
tunate Of all modern tongues in that it
has so many sources of refreshment, SO
varied, so remote from each other. The
vocabulary Of every language is con-
tinually wearing itself out, and 1t needs
to be replenished, sometimes by the
adroit revival Of forgotten words, some
times by broadening the meaning of
words in current use. and sometimes
by the creation of wholly new words.
In this respect French and German
are vastly inferior to English, says
Public Opinion. The French and Ger
man people are massed together with
in comparatively limited area, and
have no proving grounds for verbal
MISSILES" as Prof. Matthews calls
them. But English Is the native Ian
guage not Of one great nation only, but
Of two; and, while the United States
has within its territory more than half
of those who have English for their
mother tongue, the British Empire has
its stations scattered here and there all
over the world. In the British Isles,
In the United States. in the British col
onies, we may see just so many sew
| eral nurseries for the seedlings OF
speech. By such hardy growths the
language will be refreshed and invig.
GRATED and kept from hamilton and

Mons oIiana of New York Have 4 week
" Sheet Of Their Own.
There is only one Chinese newspaper
printed from movable type published IN
the East and that Is issued from an
Office on the top floor Of an old build
ing In Nassau street, according to the
New York Mail and Express. There
are Chinese newspapers in San Fran
cisco, also printed from movable type,
but most Of the Chinese publications
are Autographed and printed from
stone. The reason for this is that the
Chinese alphabet contains several thou
sand characters and font of Chinese
type set In printers cases would cover
two sides Of an ordinary room.
The old-time printer stands at his
case and with a prehensile arm gath
ers In the type as he needs 1t, without
moving his feet from the well-worn
spot where he stands day after day.
But the compositor Of Chinese news
paper must dance around from one
case to another, picking up the char
acters as he travels and his work is
not only slow, but intricate. It takes
remarkably good memory to locate
all the characters in Chinese print
ing office. Most Of the work of COM
posing is done by Japanese and the
proprietors Of the Chinese newspaper
are Japanese and an Englishman.
The Chinese newspaper is Issued
once q week. Every American who
has his eyes open is familiar with
Chinese characters, SO there Is moth
Ing very odd about the general appear
ance Of a Chinese paper; but when the
scheme Is explained 1t does have a
startling effect, for the Chinese news
paper runs backward. The last page of
a newspaper to us is the first page to
Chinaman, and the last column Of
our newspapers is the first column In
his. Moreover, his lines Of type do
not read from left TO right, but from
top to bottom of column, so that,
beginning in the upper right-hand cor
ner Of page he runs his eye to the
bottom Of the last line Of the char
acters and then begins at the top Of
the next The Chinese editor Is very
seriouSlooking person. He sits In an
ante-room, with his soft hat on his
head, smoking big cigar, and occa-
sionally painting red characters on a
fiimsy bit of paper. Important events
In Chinatown call for an extra.

KILLED BY ELECTRIC WIRE.
Four Persons of Pittsburg Killed in
Peculiar Manner.

CSattdi tUGtutSts
Pittsburg, July 5.-During the pro-
gress of a terrific rain storm here four
persons were killed in an accident of a
most unusual character. The dead:
John Visa, aged 40 years; Giuseppe
Renda, aged 81 years; Mrs. Francesca
Statti, aged "a; Giuseppe Statti, her
son, aged %.
A large American flag suspended
from grocery store became soaked
with rain and the high wind blew it
against an electric light wire, which
was carrying 1000 volts. The wire
snapped under the pressure and fell
into the street, one end lodging in a
pool of water and charging it. John
Visa, running for shelter, stepped
into the pool Of water and fell dead.
Shortly after this. the Statti family,
numbering seven persons, drove by.
The driver was hurrying to reach
place of shelter, and as he approached
the broken wire hundreds of people
tried to warn him Of the danger. but
could not make him understand until
too late. One of the horses stepped
into the pool and fell paralyzed. The
occupants of the surrey Immediately
began to jump and the four who leaped
from the side opposite the wire es
capped injury. But the three on the
other side in their excitement fell
onto the wire and were shocked tc
death almost instantly. None Of the
large crowd who witnessed the acct
dent could approach the victims until
the current was shut on from the wire
and for some time they lay In the
street unattended.

Medical circles at Vienna are great
ly interested in the report, communi-
Gated to viennese Society of Physi-
clans and read at recent meeting of
the imperial academy of science, to
the effect that a long standing case
of cancer was cured by radium rays
at the clinic of the late Professor Gus
senbauer. The patient, who was 81
years Of age, had long suffered from
cancer of the palate and lip and had
repeatedly been operated upon fruit
lessly. In the autumn of 1902, when
the physicians of the Viennese hospi-
tai declared that 1t was absolutely
useless to operate again, one physi-
clan determined, as last resort, to
try radium rays, and treated the af-
flicted parts by exposing them to the
light of radium bromide, the strong

He was rewarded by a gradual and
complete disappearance Of the tumors.
Physicians at the same meeting re-
ported that radium rays had cured a
case of melanosarcoma "a tumor con

Next week the Berger Stock Company at

It's seasons work with a comedy, Miss
Hobbs by Jerome Klapka Jerome. Pro-
duced originally by Daniel Frohman at his
Lyceum Theater, New York. in September
1899, with Miss Annie Russell in the title
role Miss Hobbs scored a distinct tri-
umph. and was hailed as one of the most
del1ghtful offerings in a lighter vein that
had been seen since "Trelawny of the
Wells. The central idea is old enough
perhaps, but in its treatment it is in no
sense like the new woman of the type
modern playgoers are accustomed to- With
a suggestion of many classical characters
the playwright has introduced Miss Hobbs
IN modern marine guise and carries the
play through with a deal of wit much
humor and pleasing trend of underlying
sentiment. Beginning as a woman hater
she is eventually won by her modern Pc
truchio, and weds him happily, enjoying a
generous share of that old-fa shioned love
that makes the world go round. The story
told by the playwright is a pretty one, in
nocent, pure in tone. healthful and kindly
comedy well worthy of the best mettle
of the Berger Company.
To the end that a complete and thorough
performance may be possible, Stage Man
ager Frederick Sullivan has had special
scenery prepared, and every detail of the

Yesterdays Concert.

The concert at Chase's Theater yesterday
afternoon attracted nearly all the fashion,
able people and the music lovers who are
in the city, and although the big auditorium
was not crowded, it was well filed. The at
traction was Edouard de Reszke and the
Metropolitan Opera House Orchestra, under,
the leadership of J. S. Duss. the man who
went to New York city last year entirely
unknown and who compelled the admiration
of the best musical critics by the way in
which he handled a military band. He and
his band came here and won praise for its
work. Now he seeks laurels as an orches-
trail leader. and he has gathered one of the
best Organizations in the country. To say
that the playing of the orchestra was nearly
perfection is but simple truth. Some who
were there would have preferred other Sc
lections but better work than was done
in the two movements from Tschaikowsky'S
Symphonic Patheiaue" the dance suite
from Henry VII" by German: the selec-
tons from Lohengrin and Gounod's hymn
to ST Cecilia would be hard to find. In the
last the violin solo, played by Mr.. Nahm
Franks, the concert master OF the orcheS-
ira, was exquisite both as to tone and ex-
preston.
Mr. de Reszke, while he has been heard
and admired in opera, had never sung here
in concert before, and 1t seemed as If he
missed the stage surroundings. Still, he
was affable and ready to respond to the de-
mandS of the audience for more He re-
ceiyed three encores after his singing of
the serenade from Berlioz'S "Damnation OF
Faust and the audience was then not
satisfied. 1t will be long before another
basso appears with an organ so big and
true and with such thorough artistic tenn
