ago startled the world with her capers as
financier. For weeks she had the right

Chadwick. SO far away that in a very
few lines it Is announced today that she
has $4,000 with which to pay an indebt-
edness OF s2.OO0OOO. A wonderful woman
in her way. But It will be lucky for the
world If We shall not look upon her like

with money, the world can well spare the
activity OF swindlers after the Chadwick

In some respects this constant intake OF
novelties and the readiness with which
Americans adopt and adapt anything that
comes readily to hand to meet a case bring
chain of Illogical understandable anomal-
Gus results. For coupled with the catholic
ity of taste which permits US to take words
out of the mouths of all peoples is a strong
disposition toward abbreviation. We are
notorious clippers of terminals and pre-
fixes. We are impatient with the rules of
etymo!ogy. We scoff at the laws OF word
building. We use our 'ins'' and our 'uns'
regardlessly We take no thought OF the
crimes we commit upon the canons of phiio-
logical construction so long as we get re-
suits.
Take for an instance the language OF
quick communication. The invention OF the
device for sending electric signals over
wire evoked the strictly classic word 'teIe-
graph" meaning to write at distance.
When later the apparatus for transmitting
the human voice over a wire was perfected
the class word Telephone was quickly
evolved. by easy analogy, to signify the
sending of a sound over distance. Now the
vocabulary of the ''tele'' and the graph

would have been impossible. That it now
holds out some hope of ultimate success is
due to the more intelligent study of the
mosquito in it's relation to disease following
the Investigations of DR.. Ross of the Brit

thoroughly their theories and the discov-

ono Interruption to Business"

Yesterdays store collapse In Albany was
a gruesome reminder to Washington of the
Ford Theater disaster of June 0. 1898 In
both cases repairs were being made to an
occupied building. In both cases there was
heavy weight on the floors. and in both
cases insufficient care was taken to safe
guard against accident when the founda-
lions were disturbed. The consequence in
Albany. as in Washington. was that the
floors collapsed and the occupants of the
building. within the affected area, were
plunged into the cellar with the debris.
Twenty-three persons were killed and
nearly one hundred were injured in the
Ford Theater disaster. The casualty list
In the Albany case Is not yet complete, but
1t may be even greater than that of 1893.
There Is undoubtedly way to prevent
such accidents even II the owners and
users of buildings persist In occupying
them while they are undergoing alterations
The facts of the Albany case are not suffl
GENTLY clear at present to indicate whether
the fault lies with the workmen who were
engage in the job or their foreman. or the
city authorities whose business 1t is to
guard against disaster by supervision OF
plans for work Of this kind. Although
there was a persistent effort to bring those
guilty of insufficient precautions to book
for their lapse in the Ford Theater case
the law failed to administer punishment
Probably in many scores Of cases work
of this kind Is being done continually, with
out trouble. Sometimes 1t Is because OF
good management, sometimes good luck,
that no breaks occur. There Is a pro-
nounced unwillingness on the part Of bust
ness men to suspend operations while they
are making repairs alterations. They
prefer to take their chances on a collapse
rather than suspend trade for few days.
The sign mo interruption to business is
continually constantly In evidence in the
streets OF large city, and the clerks and
the public probably take little note of the
danger. trusting to the workmen and their
bosses to do the things that are needed to
prevent a collapse. This trust, 1t Is plain
from tragedies on record. Is not always
justifiabie -
1t is deplorable that there should be any
opportunity for these disasters. In view of
the municipal supervision over building con-
structfon and repair, rigid scale OF per-
missble enterprise should be maintained by
all authorities to prohibit the occupancy of
a structure while II Is weakened in any
way, or while there Is the least danger of
a weakening. 1t is common knowledge that
the authorities cannot always trust to con-

The Virginia Republicans.

The speech delivered by Secretary Shaw
at Roanoke last night before the state con-
vention of Virginia republicans was pitched
in an excellent key, and the only one that
promises any results, If results are posi-
BILE to the republicans, In the southern
country Mr.. Shaw's appeal was to the
pride and progressive spirit of the people
Many democrats were present. and doubt
less heard him with most respectful atten-
ton. He left with them something worthy
Of notwithstanding presented In
terms devoid of partisan rancor and bear
ing forcibly on the development and well
fare of the state. Why should not demo-
Gratis as we'll as republicans weigh with
out excitement prejudice arguments IN
favor of the continued upbuilding of the
country by policies which have SO album
dainty justified themselves?
This was Mr.. Shaw's line for two reasons
AS a visitor he could not with proDriety
have touched upon purely local topics and
contentious, and the fact that United
States senatorship is in the balance gave
aptness and point to national issues. A
republican in the Senate from Virginia In
the place of Mr.. Martin. Mr.. Shaw In effect
suggested, would add vote to the strength
of protection as the sign in which progress
must continue to conquer.
The campaign of Judge Lewis, the repub-
ltcan nominee for governor, will Of course
carry other than national issues. We may
expect sharp arraignment of the long
period of democratic local control: and
some of the material used will have been
provided by the democrats themselves. In
the campaign for the democratic nomina-
lions now in progress the candidates are
hurting out many things about each other
and about party practices which the repub-
Iicans may be expected to repeat and give
the proper credit for.
September and October should be memo
abIe months In the Old Dominion. Not for
fifteen years has the state been stirred by
a campaign worthy of the name Not since
Mckinney defeated Malone for governor
and that was accomplished under the old
style of bauot-box juggling-have the re-
publicans put up fight which challenged
outside attention.

Diplomacy.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

OF course. the presidents of diplomacy
require Mr.. White to assume a dismal and
lugubrious cast of countenance and to give
forth the most pessin1istic speculations re-
speeding the outcome Of the peace confer
ence. 1t Is equally incumbent upon Mr..
Komura to accept these misgivings and to
join in the expressed belief that the fat Is
in the fire. The rest Of us. however may
still entertain some hopes Of a cheerful con-
clusion. When the distinguished repre-
sentatives OF the two negotant powers get
down to question of give and take we
shall see very different condition of
things Diplomacy. like horse trading has
it's set formulas which are not to be modi-
f1ed-much less abrogated.
