 Lmid or Brilliant? 'Lurid' is very frequently used as synonym of "bril- liant" or "glaring:' but whenever it is so used it is msused. A lurid light is one in which we see things a-s"through q glass darklv,' often q light that shines through mist or through smoke. The confusion of "hrid" with "bril- liant" is due to ignorance: far more reprehensiblc is the present tendency to ovcrwOrk "lurid" aS "weird' has been ovcrworkcd tendency due to ignorance and a verbal poverty.

WAS SUDDEN
Death of E. K. Miles, a
 Teller Business Man.

F.. R. Miles. of the firm of !. F. Dyer & Co.,, Teller, died on Wednesday morning last, after few hours illness. The cause of death was probably stran- gulated hernia. several weeks prcvi- ouS to his death AIr. Miles suffered from stomach trouble, but he had par tlally recovered and was about as usuai When taken i'll again on Tuesday. Dr. Sloane, of Gold Run. was summoned, there being no physician in Teller, but before the doctor arrived Mr. Miles had passed away. Mr. Miles had been q resident of Teller since 1901, going there from knappton, Wash., where he was connected with the simpson Lum- Der Co. His death was a shock to the people of Teller where he was highly esteemed. lie leaves a widow and d child less than year old. The body was brought to Nome yesterday by Geo.

GOLD ROCK
Limestone and conglon-
 crate al Bluff.

W. Schaef1er is in town from B.uli City, where he has been working all winter on formation of limestone and conglomerate. He has driven q tunnel about 70 feet into the limestone of the hillside, and finds that the formation is considerably broken up, and thickly permeated with soft. decompoeed iron stone and felspar, which carries gold and quicksilver in small quantities. says th3 Council City News.
 Mr. Schaeffer is not of the opinion that the ore is of sufficient richness tO warrant the erection of :. stamp mill. and is not very hopeful that it is liable to prove any richer by development, as so.far the rock has proven very uniform.

POINTS OFTEN ARGUED.

Bread and Butter Are or Bread and Butte l.? Bread and butter is better than cake is correct: for "brcad and butter" is thought of as one thing. Both bread and butter are scarce" is also correct: for in this case "5read and "bJtter" are thought of as two things.
 Dcc-a-dcnt or De-ca-dent: In Amer ica the accepted pronunciation of the word is that which throws the accent on the second syllable: no other i, giy- en in tlis country. The best British authorities, though they admit de-ca- dent, give the preference 10 dec-a-dent: and since the tendency of our day is to throw the accent as far back from the end of the word as possible. this pro- nuncia.iOn may in time pr vail, but at present it smackS of atlcctation.
 Anybodj Elsc's or Anybody's Else: Either ''unyhody else'>' or ''anl body $ else" is correct: the pOlnt Is one on which authorities differ. Those who prefer ''anybody's else say that "else' is modifying word (some call it an adjective, others all adverbl, and that the possessive sign should be aided, not to the modifying word, but to the substa nsive. Since, then. usage is di- yided it. is well to choose the form which in given sentence will be the more agreeable to the ear. To most
