LAGNIAPPE AND BROTUS.
From the New York Press.

IOlIl the new I OrK Press,
You can have no conception of the
extent to which '1agniappe" or bro
tus" is practiced in New York. 1 doubt
seriously if five residents of this city
in 100 ever heard of either word. An
other synonym is 'pelone, sort of
mixed French Italian and Spanish,
pronounced pee-loan. "Lagniappe" is
pronounced in it's local habitat lanny-
zap. A vast amount of shopping is done
in New York by children under a doz-
en- years of age. The mother on the
East Side, West Side and all around
the town, except among the moneyed
elect, has not the time to dress for
shopping, and if a cake, a loaf of
bread, or any little household article is
needed, Mary, Bob or Georgia is sent
for it. And Mary, Bob or George al
ways receives from the merchant for
'1agniappe or "brotus" a stick of
candy, a cruller, a bit of chewing gum
or some other small present as an in
ducement to call again.
In the extreme Southwest, where the
Mexican has stopped over, something
for lagniappe is the regular custom. A
man buys a dozen rolls; the baker

Eating Lettuce.

The question. my lords, is how shall
we eat lettuce. There has been an un-
written law among epicures that let

people have heard this, and It is their
habit to roll up a big leaf with fork.

What Scheme Is,

sa Snoui q the company be organized to
SeCure these settlers it's methods would
uoGotiess be to secure a tract of land
sulllcieht Tor the needs of a few fam
mes, at first, with options on other
tracts IN case more should be needed
as edcn emigrant must have a certain
Su'H OF money before he is allowed to
anu III thls country, and as he comes
ptSpdreu 10 invest this capital the
Gnu could De sold him on the INSTALL
hient plan, cash payment to begin
with and further payments to be made
edch succeeding year al the end of the
crop season. >'-S
II is pointed out by those who have
thought OF the matter that some of
the pest farm lands of the state are
Iocated on the adjoining coast islands.
ana mat farm on one of these
would represent to the settler more adj
Nantages than he could secure in any
other part Of the country for il would
mean not only that he could grow a
VARIETY OIL crops. practically the
whoie year round, but that he could
increase his table supply with the
hsh' CRABS and shrimp to be caught in
summer, and the oysters and fish that
would be accessible during the cold
weather.
Further, being so close to Savannah,
winch Is readily accessible to most OF
the islands by several routes, he could
snip cheaply to New York. Baltimore
and Philadelphia, and, in the case of
certain crops, like tomatoes, might
dispose of his surplus yield at a can
ming factory of which there is one all
ready in operation. 1t is stated on ex-
cellent authority that another can be
| secured so soon as the amount of veg
etable grown will warrant it's estab-
lishment
Many Advantages offered.
Another advantage that is pointed out
I is that in cases where a farmer has a
large family, all the members of it not
needed in the farm work can find ready
employment at other businesses. Ex-
| cellent avenues of trade are open even
to the women for in the American
Cigar Factory, there is always room for
more hands. and other industries are
reporting that they could use more
skilled labor If it could be had.
| 1t is not improbable that a meeting
OF those who may be interested in
forming a company for the purposes
as outlined, may be called within a few
| days, to discuss the matter and to form
at least provisional organization.

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES,

Rear Admiral Bowles, chief of the

jects to the proposed transfer of the
Naval Observatory from the Navy De-
partment to the Department of Com
merce and Labor. Brig. Gen. William
Crozier and Prof Walcott, of the Geo
logical Survey, were recently appointed
and submit a report to the Secretary Of
the Navy. Admiral Bowles calls attention
to the fact that the Nautical Almanac"
is compiled at the observa tory and that
ships clocks and chronometers are test
ed there. His views are shared by other
officers of high rank in the navy.
dorsement TO Col S. c. Mills report in
the Baldwin case: cit appears by this
very exhaustive investigation, in which
testimony was taken under oath by
duly authorized officer, that the publica-
ton ascribing to General Baldwin state
ments rejecting upon the Filipino
soldiers in the service of the United
States and also upon the negro soldiers
of the United States, was false; that no
such statement was made by him. The
papers accompanying the report of the
inspector leave no doubt in my mind as
to the correctness of his conclusions.
The report and papers will be filed with
out further action" The incident may
now be regarded as closed.

Elevator.

Abba, Aug. s. - Especially John
REM, formerly of Ottumwa, and now,
an employee of the Abba Telephone Co.,
was the victim of an accident this
morning, which, though not serious,
will probably keep him from work for
some time. Mr.. REM was on an ele-
vator in the building occupied by T. X.
Smith and had reached the second
floor when the rope supporting the ele-
vato: broke and the car with its occu-
pant, fell to the ground.
The elevator had not been used for
some time, which probably accounts
for the accident.
