SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
An English Essay on the Pronuncia.
ton of His Name.

ton of His Name.
According to Mr.. Adrian Wheel
er, "the pronunciation of Raleigh
seems. to be 'Rawley.'" Whether
this only means "seems now to be-
is to be surmised. The question is,
What was the pronunciation at the
period indicated? And surely that
is much matter of surmise also:
"When Sir Walter Raleigh's name
was told ('Ralegh'), said the king,
'On my soule, mon, I have heard
rawly of thee" (not "rawley").
The conjecture presumably must be
that King James, with a labored
joke founded on the sound then Civ
en- to Raleigh Tor Rawly), meant II
have heard really with the ''rale"
sound that the Irish stilL.give to
the word "real," or sTarely," with
the meaning, II have heard rare
things Of thee," or, the same word
with it's present meaning, Il have
heard seldom Of thee {of late)."
The assumption that King James
must have sounded the letters
"raw' as we now do surely requires
some proof. Now, in old northern
records one may find the name Matt
land (and even Maytland) spelled
also ''Mautland." 1t is conceiva-
BILE to the present writer that the
men who wrote "Mautland" may
have pronounced the word F'Ma-ut-
land" but it is inconceivable to him
that the men who wrote maitland"
land 'CMaytland'') could have sound
ed the name ''Mortland,' for that is
what our modern tongues have
brought the eau" and the saw to
as to sound.
Is there known to be any other
origin for the surname |Raleigh"
than the place name ''Rayleigh ?"
If not, that place name stands to
this day in the way Of the ''Raw-
ley" (|'Rorly'') pronouncers. En-
PEASANT, it may be worth remarking
that ''rare meat and ''raw meat
are much about the same thing.
Can it be proved that "rare, with
the raw meaning, is anything
more than a phonetic spelling Of
the sound given Of old to the COM
bined letters "raw?" 1t may be
recollected by some readers that it
has been allowed that the proper
sound of "Ralph'' (often spelled
"Rawfe" in old deeds) is ''Rafe,"
rhyming with ''safe." London

Women have resourcefulness
that men can never hope to attain.
A young lady named Kate - was
married the other day. When on
her honeymoon she had occasion to
make some purchases in shop and
ordered the goods to be sent to her
at the Royal hotel. But in an abb
sentminded moment she gave her
maiden name to the shopkeeper.
She had scarcely reached the
door, however, when she noted her
mistake. With admirable wit she
stepped back and said to the shop
man:
ooh, by the way, send that pack

When to Wind Your Watch.

During the night your watch is
quiet, as it were-that is, it hangs
in your vest without motion or
touch. If you don't wind it at night
the handspring is then relaxed in
stead Of being in that condition
during the day. By winding it in
the morning the handspring re-
mains close and tight all day. 1t
keeps the movement steady at a
time when you are handling it, run
ming about the city attending to
your daily affairs. A relaxed main
spring at this time accounts for fine
watches varying slightly.

Applause by Kissing.

Kissing means different things,
according to where you happen to
be at the time. In west Africa the
natives hiss when they are astonish-
ed, in the New Hebrides when they
see anything beautiful. The Basu-
tos applaud popular orator in the
assemblies by Kissing at him. The
japanese, again, show their rever-
ence by hiss which has probably
somewhat the force of the ''hush"
with which we command silence. In
this country the hiss only has one
meaning-disapproval.

DETENTION HOME FOR
DESERTED CHILDREN
Board of Public Safety Takes
Steps to Protect Juvenile
Charges.

Following a recommendation made by
Mrs. Helen Rogers, probation officer of
the Juvenile Court, the Board of Public
Safety yesterday instructed Superintendent
Kruger to take all lost and deserted chill
dren to the Day Nursery until suitable
quarters for detention hospital be ar
ranged.
Mrs. Rogers said that a detention home
or station of this kind is much needed to
protect the children from associating with
criminals at the police station. The Juv-
emile Court requires that its charges be
kept away from the police station. but
makes no provision for their care. The
Day Nursery will be paid by the city at
a rate of 10 cents for every meal given the
children
The report of the police department was
submitted 10 the Board of Public Safety
yesterday and shows that during the month
of April, the police made 7s4 arrests, 6O4
of which were white and $50 were black.
During the month the patrol wagon COW
cred $50 miles. The police arrested Ill
women, of which 81 were under the age
of twenty.

between the two departments. Below him
was a clear drop of twenty feet to sky
light which forms the roof over the ground
floor. AT the same time Joe McComb, ar
other employe. started across the bridge
from the other side. McComb was carrying
a large box and did not see Bryant coming
The men met in the center of the bridge
and before warning could be given Bryant
fell against the guard rail. which was old
and rotten, and gave way, pIunglng Bryant
headlong into space.
McComb horrified. heard the crash OF
glass and hardly dared to look below ex-

friend lying on the ground floor pavement.
When he did summon the courage To peer
over the edge he saw Bryant buried to mis-
armpits in the skylight and hanging on
desperately. McComb hurried TO the sec

soon helped Bryant from his dangerous po-
sition. To his surprise, he found that the
man was entirely uninjured.
Employees who were working on the
ground floor under the skylight were badly
frightened when the sudden crash Of glass
came. followed by the appearance OF a
wildly kicking pair of legs.
Rumors of the accident quickly spread
over the establishment, and many fellow
employees nastened to the spot, expecting
. to find Bryant seriously injured.

GAME WAHDENS TO WAR
ON VIOLATORS OF LAW
Deputy Fish Commissioner New

Deputy Fish Commissioner Newhouse. of
this city, yesterday at Columbus arrested
Township Trustee d. B. Hill for having
tremble net in his possession. August Mahr,
OF Bartholomew county, was arrested for
having in his possession a minnow net thir-
~ feet long and five feet deep. Both men
were taken before Mayor Parker. of CO.
lumbus. and fined $3.50 and costs. HILL it
is said, has often boosted that he would fish
any way ne pleased and escape arrest.
The fish commissioner and game wardens
throughout the State are going 10 make
vigorous crusade against persons who
catching black bass which are under length.
The law says that no black bass under ten
inches in length can be taken from any
stream in Indiana. and that not over TWEEN
ty-four of any length can be taken in one
day. During the last few weeks MIR. New
house has been unuring in his efforts TO
catch persons who violate the law. and in
number of instances he has been successful.
A few weeks ago he received information
that three citizens of Bedford were in
the habit of dynamiting fish. He went TO
Bedford and soon arrested two of the men.
The third man, who is we'll advanced in
years. made his escape TO Kentucky by
riding bicycle. The two men arrested are
in Jail and will likely have TO stay there
until September on account of the murder
trial which is occupying the present term

Many people had gathered at the police
station when Mrs. Hicks was brought into
Police Court. She seemed very much uncon-

ings Her counsel asked that the case be
continued until next Friday, when 1t is
probable that the hearing will be waived

jury. Mrs. McCotter testified before Cor

tically the same statements contained In

BURDEN OF PROOF ON
RAILROAD COMPANY

A person who is injured py a train at a
highway crossing is presumed to have
looked and listened for approaching trains
and this presumption can only be over
come by evidence showing that he did not.
according to the opinion of Judge Roby, of
the Appellate Court, in the case of Bette f.
Nichols VS.. B. & o. s. w. Railroad Com
pany Heretofore the courts have frequent
iy held that the negligence of the traveller
was presumed in case he was struck by
a train at a highway crossing, unless it
was proved that he had looked and listened
before attempting to cross the track. Judge
Roby cites the act of 1899 making contribu-
tory negligence a matter of defense, as
having destroyed this presumption and put
the burden of proof on the railroad COM
pany.
