The Iron Pillar of Delhi,

The fG~Ous iron pillar of Delhi is
dealt with in Casters Magazine. The
pillar is a solid shaft of wrought iron,
sixteen inches in diameter and of a
length that is v%ariously reported. The
total length is from forty-eight to sixty
feet under ground and above, includ-
ing a capital of three and one-half
feet. The pillar contains about eighty
cubic feet of metal and weighs about
seventeen tons. The metal is, of
course, charcoal iron, made directly
from ore in small billets; but how it
was welded up 40 n can tell, as no
record exists of any early method of
dealing with great masses of wrought
iron. An inscription roughly cut or
punched upon the column states that
Rajah Dhara subdued a people in the
Surdhu, named Vahlikos, and obtained
with his own arm an undivided SOW
ereignty on the earth for a long pc
Rod. The date of the Inscription has
been referred to the third or fourth
century after Christ, but on this au-
thorities are at variance.

Another Step Forward.

The RECORD today becomes a
member of the Associated Press
Association, and this afternoon
presents it's readers with the
Associated Press service. Since
the middle of July a constant
and continued effort has been
made to secure this service, but
up to this time the Western I'm
ion has refused to handle this
service on account of lack of
facilities, but on the completion
Of a new wire the contract has
been made, and the readers Of
THE RECORD will now have be-
fore them each afternoon, not
only the latest local news of the
day, but also this days news of
the world.
To-day not only marks an
epoch in the growth of The Rec
ORD, but it also marks an epoch
in the growth and development
of Roswell and the Pecos Valley.
For several years a railroad has
put us in communication with
other parts of our common
country, but before to-day We
have been twenty-four hours be-
hind in the knowledge of the
worlds events. The RECORD be-
lieyes that Roswell and the Pecos
Valley have now reached that
stage of growth in population,
wealth and resources that entitle
them to a news service that is
enjoyed by other and older Sec
tions.
Confident in this belief, and
that The RECORD will be sus-
tanned by an increased patron
age as its value as a newspaper
increases, the daily telpgraphic
news is placed before our read
erS.

Struck by Sucker Rod.

Byron Beall who is employed
with Stringfellow 4 Tannehill
was driving the delivery wagon
yesterday and the horses ran
away from the depot and dash
ed up 9Th street. He ran after
the horses and stopped them in
front of the Richards hotel.
There was a wind mill sucker rod
in the wagon and it struck Mr.
Beall in the face. However. he
was not badly injured.

Thisissue of The RECORD must
not be taken as a specimen copy
of the amount of Geographic
news that will befurnished. This
being the first day OF service
there have been several Difficult
ties to contend with in the mat
ter of getting the news in early
which will soon be obviated.
In a few days The RECORD will
present to its readers in con-
densed form a complete sum-
mary OF the worlds doing up to
the hour of going to press. The
RECORD intends to become a
paper that not only Roswell will
take pride in, but to become the
first news distributor for the en-
tire Pecos Valley.

WHY NOT SPEAK ENGLISH
he Use of Some Words In the Sim
guIar and Plural.

he Use of Some Words I'm the Sim
guIar and Plural.
Is cherub an English word? IL 60
It's plural Is cherubs, and not the He
brew word cherubim. Is lexicon an
English word, and criterion also? II
so their plurals are lexicons and crt-
terions, not the Greek lexica and cH"
terra. Is appendix an English word,
and index and vortex? If so the plu-
rails are appendices and indexes and
vortexes. and not the Greek appendices.
induces and worthless. Is memorandum an
English word, and curriculum. gym
nasium, medium Inc sanatorium? If
80 their plurals are memorandum n
curriculums, gymnasiums, mediums
and sanatoriums. and not the Latin
memorana, curricula, gymnasia, media
and sanatoria. Is formula an English
word and nebula also? If so the
plural is formulas and nebulas and not
the Latin formula and nebulR. Is
beau an English word, and bureau? If
30 the plural is beaus and bureaus, and
not the French beauX and bureauX. Is
libretto an English word? If so its
plural is librettos, and not the Ital-
ian libretti. Why not speak English?
Crisis is thoroughly acclimated in the
English language, and so is thesis.
and yet there are those who prefer
crises and theses to the normal and
regular ~crisises and thesises. Perhaps
they are seeking to avoid the unpleas-
ant kissing of the English plural; but
nom the less they are falling into ped
antry.-Brander Matthews in Harper's
MagaZine.
