Both parties will hold caucuses with
in a few days in the rear lobby of
the House to reorganize their congress
siOnal committees. The various state
delegations will name their member
of the respective committees, and
when the new members are all named
the respective committees will meet,
chose a chairman and otherwise or
ganize and prepare for the campaign.
Clerks will be set to work to dig out
information which it is desired to cir
culate in the congressional campaign,
and the question of headquarters will
be discussed. Democrats have always
had headquarters here. Republicans
went to Chicago four years ago and
TO New York two years ago. They
will probably have headquarters in one
of those cities.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 6.-The Post
tomorrow will say:
There was by no means a hopeless
spirit shown among the returning coal
operators from the Indianapolis con-

the negotiations between the two in

that by March q another meeting of

COLLOQUIAL VOCABULARY.
Rich I'm Slang Expressions, baseball
Furnishing the Most.
From the st. Paul Globe.

From the ST. Paul Globe.
Almost every sport and game has in
creased the colloquial vocabulary of the
English language, and, though many of
the terms for whose application to daily
occurrences various sports and pas
times are responsible are not to be
found in dictionaries, their use is con-
stantly increasing on the tips of many
tongues They may be slang, but slang
in these days is a part of the language.
Baseball, the national game of Amer
lea has taken a lions share in thus
adding to the expressions one hears IN
everyday conversation. Three times
and OUT originally meant the failure
of any batsman to hit the ball. Now 1t
is applied to any failure; it may be in
love, it may be in business. A "muf-
fer" first a ball player who dropped
the ball after it was in his hands, is
now anyone who cannot keep his men
tai or physical grip on things concrete
or otherwise. A base hit is applied
to any successful venture, and the term
"a hit" most frequently heard in re-
lation to public performers on plat
FORMS draws it's meaning from the
baseball diamond. HE made home
run of it, is often heard relative to
the career of some successful business
man. Fingers distorted at the joints
by accident are called baseball fin
gers" and are frequently marks of
Identification. The glass arm" of the
pitcher now applies to any crippled
arm.
"A grand stand play" is an act per-
formed to bring forth applause, and is
as often used to characterize political
moves as it is double plays. The
caught at the home plate" of the base
ball field is synonymous with the falls
at the last ditch" of the hunting field.
Now, path expressions describe the
failure of that which had every appear
ance of success. Got his base on

the dealer gives him n full house be-

indeed are as prolific IN increasing the
vocabulary as sports. "As black as "A
spade" Hes not ace high" give us
"A new deal all round" Lost IN the
shuttle" You're a trump" HE played

more terms technically used in card
games have their place IN expressing
the Joys and sorrows, work and play Of
