REALLY CAUSE FoR WONDER
Infrequency Of Confusion Of Words
Of Similar Meaning in Writ
ing English.

When we take into consideration
the millions of times In which lay and
lie are confounded in popular speech,
and the petty number of instances
of such confusion that can be cleaned
from the most exhaustive study OF all
our great authors, we recognize, writes
Prof T.. r. Lounlbury, in Harper's
Magazine, what 1t is that constitutes
that consensus of which Quintilian
speaks as the authority to which we
all have to submit
No better proof indeed is there Of
the right to rule which inheres in the
collective body of great authors than
the fact that so few errors of this sort
occur in the heat of composition or
pass unchallenged in revision. The
wonder must always be, not that they
happen, but that they happen so rare
ly. Least of all should linguistic stu
dents make their appearance. IL they
do appear, matter OF reproach, when
we find similar confusion between
set and sit in the writings of a pro-
fessed philologist. The late George
Perkins Marsh was one OF the foremost
promoters of English scholarship. To
the students of the former generation
his works did more than furnish in
struction; they we're an inspiration.
Yet in the second OF his lectures on
the English language he speaks of a
person giving "a cIuck with his mouth
not unlike the note OF a setting hen"
One would naturally suppose that a
linguistic scholar. who was in addition
stern critic of usage. ought to know
sooner than anyone else that though
anybody can set hen, the hen herself
sits. The confusion of the two verbs
is. however, 50 common in conversa-
tion that It is liable at any time to
appear In print. The only thing re-
markable about the example just given
is that II should occur where 1t does.

TOWN SHORT ON NIcHrIEs

Scenes and Incidents of Everyday

Naples isia city OF types. Where

the splendid water supply which the

There is no need for milk inspection

Months of Jnvestigation.
1t is understood that the department
Of commerce and labor is directing the
prosecution, and has, through its own
agents, assisted by operators of the Sc
cret service, prepared the case against
the accused. This has involved many
months of investigation, and also the
keeping, since January last, Of four
men, English tile settlers, at Ellis ISL
and. 1t is upon the evidence OF these
four men, backed by an array of cor
roborative depositions, that the govern
ment chiefly relies.
The Evidence In the Case.
The evidence in the case goes back
to the lockout by the Tile, Crate &
Mantle association, an employers or
ganization of the mosaic and encaustic
tile layers and helpers of New York
and vicinity on August of last wear.
To make the lockout a 'ccess. it is
charged the employers association sent

pers in England and Germany Offering

men, 1t Is alleged, were imported to the
United States at the instance of the
eleven accused, and were instructed to
swear falsely when questioned at Ellis
island by the immigration officials as to
their reasons for coming to America.
and especially to swear that they had
as yet no employment in this country.
1t is also said that the men were fur
nished with the address of one Of the
accused and ordered to report to him.
Discharged English Workmen.
Two weeks after the men were i'm
ported, the lockout being a success, 1t
is alleged, the accused caused the Eng
lish workmen to be discharged on the
ground that they were not familiar
with American tools or the method of
working in this country, and were
therefore useless. Some Of these men
got home as best they could, but four
of them carried their grievances to
agents of the department of commerce
and labor and rendered information on
which an investigation was based.
Since then they have been under de-
tention at the immigrant station at Ell
lis island.
