Walter McCormick's Version Of
Shooting Incident.

Walter Mccormick about twenty-one
years of age who resides on Emerson street
northeast, was committed to Jail from the
Police Court today to await a preliminary
hearing on a charge of assault with a dam
gerous weapon on Mrs. Kate Buechling OF
lG49 Gales street northeast. Mrs. Buechline
was shot by Mccormick last night, and the
case was continued until her condition al

to a Star reporter who saw him in the cell
room at the Police Court this morning. the

The ssGrass widow
From the Philadelphia Record.

''Tha origin OF the term grass widow -
said g. philologist. lis puzzling Some say
1t came from the French-that 1t was orig

grace. or courtesy. Others say 1t derives
from the old English custom Of a mans
hanging out a broom when his wife was
away overnight To hang out the broom
was common phrase. When the thing
was done the meaning was that the house
had been swept clear of the wife's presence,
and the husbands friends were to visit him

A NEW LANGUA GE
ESPERANTO, LIKE VOLAPUK, IS A
UNIVERSAL TONGUE.
It May Be Learned in Two Hours
What Tolstoi and Max Muller
Have to Say About It.

John Charles O'Connor in T. P's Weekly
modern miracle nothing less. A Ian
guage that the man in the street." the
cabman, the railway porter and the board
school boy can read and write in one
month and can converse in in three weeks
a language that brings one into relation
ship, not with the people of one nation
nor of one tongue not with Europeans
only, but with the Inhabitants Of every con-
tinent. and all this at a cost of a few
months study. Is surely worthy of this
name. This Esperanto can do; this Esper-
anto is doing today. Tens of thousands of
Esperantists all the world over, literally
from Japan to Peru, give ample proof of
this.
Il found Esperanto very simple. 1t is so
easy to learn that, having received a gram
mar and dictionary of the language,
could at the end of two short hours, IL not
write, at least read the language fiuently ~
SO writes Leo TolstOi. And Max Muller:
Il should certainly place Esperanto very
high above all it's rivals"
In Paris alone there are at this moment
twenty classes for the teaching of the Ian
guage, and no class has less than one
hundred students. In many Of the schools
of France and Sweden it is special sub
ject. Upward of a dozen journals are pub
lished In France. Germany. Sweden, Hol-
else

land has fallen into line. Societies are
now established In London, Keighley Hun
dersfeld, Manchester, Portsmouth Ply
mouth and Bournemouth. Other societies
are in process of formation in Birming-
ham, Liverpool. Brighton, Leeds and Wake
field. In Ireland and Scotland societies
have been founded How has Esperanto
accomplished this?
The Common Language.
Before these questions can he answered
we must. first of all, see what are, or.
rather, what should be, the dominant char.
acteristics of language which assumes
the role OF internationally. I will put
them briefly:
!. It's alphabet must be such that the
pronunciation of the letters comes natur-
ally to all people-Europeans, Asiatics.
Africans, etc.
z 1t must be a phonetic language-that
is. there must be no silent letters and
sound; one letter, one sound, always and
everywhere.
3. Its grammar must be simple: there
must be no exceptions, no irregular verbs
no irregular plurals.
4. As far as possible its vocabulary
should consist OF words familiar to the
people OF different nations. The greatest
good of the greatest number should be the
principle of selection.
.. 1t should be a. language, not for the
savant nor the man of letters only; it
must be equally adapted for commerce. lit
erature. art, science. for the purpose of
everyday correspondence, and as an easy
and simple means of conversation.

VANGUARD OF EMPIRE
GERMAN CATHOLIC MISSIONS
AND WELTPOLITIK.
A French View Of the Kaiser's Pro
Catholic Policy-How Germany
Favors the Monks
Georges Villiers in Paris Figaro.

Georges Fiiliers in Paris Figaro.
Thousands of kilograms were dispatched
to the Vatican from all parts of the world
kilograms in which all the sovereigns and
all the presidents OF republics sent express
sions of sympathy to the Sacred College.
OF these letters of coincidence only one has
been published. and that is the letter of
Wilhelm H. 1t was published not at Rome
but at Berlin.
So it should have been. In the active
campaign which the German emperor is
waging to bind together the cords which
unite his country to the Catholic Church;
on the morrow of his journey to Rome and
of the ride of his white troopers to the
gates of the Vatican-it was easy to foresee
that the emotions of Wilhelm II, such was
their sincerity. would seek public express
sion. For ten years Wilhelm II has kept
at his work; to rely on the papacy for QirsD
parliamentary support In Germany from
the Catholic element. and (second to obtain
outside Germany the benefit of that protec-
tOrate over missions. which France has held
until the present time. and the exercise of
which M. Combes Is today rendering i'm
possible.
We have already told in these columns
what her missionaries are to France: we
have made clear the moral authority and
the political influence they WELD through
Hostility to Catholics.
Twenty years ago 1.-THE German empire
was a ver1table hell for the Catholics. The
monks went into exile, the bishops to pris-
on. Time has passed since then, and an
imperial inca cuIpa' has enaced the mem
DRY of the Kultdrkampf. 1t Is needless to
recall the history ofthat change of heart, OF
which the stages are marked by Wilhelm

these solemn and striking performances a
work rather less Igenerally understood has
been going on for fifteen years work
which organized The forces of Catholic Ger
many for the strtggle and filed them with
life and hope. The army of the missiona-
ries was got into shape When Germany
had completed it5 unffication and took up
the work of colonization. the only organi-
lied force 1t encountered was that of the
French Catholic missions. At the outset
Germany perceived how much the missiona-
ry contributed to a colony: how, by teach
ing the natives the religion and the lam
sionary added the prestige of the faith to
the national authority of the home govern
ment Germany. therefore. desired to have
missionaries. As the Kulturkampf stood in
the way Of getting them. the Kulturkampf
was done away with. On the day that the
empire was born to world politics 1t died
to anti-clericalism.
BY coincidence. which comes to light
again today. France was then prosecuting
the religious orders. Germany profited by
this, just as she will profit by 1t tonor-
row. Addressing herself to the mother
congregations, which we had either exiled
or menaced, she informed them that thay
would be allowed to create branch estab-
liShmentS in Germany. Thus vith0,,t any
