"LAY,v "LIE," "slT," "sET."
Really the Cause for Wonder Is That
 So Few Errors Occur.

Prof. T. R. Lounsbury in Harper's Mag
 azine.
 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 gleaned from the most exhaustive study of all our great authors, we recognize what it is that constitutes that consensus of which Quin- tilian 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 col lective body of great authors than the fact that so few errors of this sort oc cur in the heat of composition or pass unchallenged in revision. The wonder must always be, not that they happen, but that they happen so rarely. Least of all should linguistic students make their appearance, if they do appear, a matter of reproach, when we find sim liar confusion between set and sit in the writings of professed philogist. The late George Perkins Marsh was one of the foremost promoters of English scholar ship. To the students of the former gen. eration his works did more than furnish instruction; they were an inspiration. Yet in the second of his lectures on the Eng fish language he speaks of person, giv- ing "a chuck with his mouth not unlike the note of setting hen.' One would naturally suppose that a linguistic scholar who was in addition a stern critic of us- age, ought to know sooner than any one else that, though anybody can set a hen, the hen herself sits. The confusion of the two verbs is, however, so com mon in conversation that 1t is liable at any time to appear in print. The only thing remarkable about the example just given is that it should occur where
 it does.

IN THE BIRMINGHAM
 REAL ESTATE MARKET

Work on the new Jefferson hotel to be erected at the corner of Fourth avenue and Twentieth street. will doubtless com mence in September. The plans are now being drawn, and by the time named above the actual construction work will probably be under way.
 As has been stated before, the building will probably be twelve or fourteen stories high, and will be strictly mod ern in every particular It will be con will be fireproof The location of the new hotel is considered ideal, owing to the situation of the new depot.
 Fourth or Fifth avenue will be the principal street leading from the new union station, and this will make tho hotel only a short distance from both the union station and the Louisville and Nashville depot.
 The location of the new depot and the Jefferson hotel is having a stimulating ef- feet on real estate values in the neighbor- hood of Fourth and Fifth avenues. Sev- eral deals have been consummated along Fifth avenue recently, but the deeds have not yet been recorded and full particulars will not be given out. It is also hinted in real estate circles that property is being bought along Fifth avenue with the in tention of making it business property. With Fifth avenue adopted as the main thoroughfare leading from the new union station, 1t is not improbable that sev- eral business blocks will be under course of construction there before winter.
 Yesterday probably saw more announce ments of large real estate transactions than any other day for some time. C. w. Ufford has purchased a lot on Fifth ave- nue between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets. the price paid for 1t being $15,0O0 At present a small cottage is on the prop erty.
 Other real estate transfers filed in the probate court are as follows:
 c. E. Meglemry to J. H. Robinson, east half of lot 8, in block S94; considera- ton $s600 This property is situated on Highland avenue.
 J. w. Minor to Walter Moore, lot S. block S7; consideration sS000. The lot is situated on Third avenue between Eigh- teenth and Nineteenth streets.

 He was a great sufferer from physical pain for many years, submitting to the surgeons knife four or five times, and the last intelligence received from his bedside few days before his death told the sad story of the painful dissolution of his earthly house, but from those precious lips rose the inspired prayer:

 Bless Thy suffering one tonight;
 "In my anguish be Thou near me,
 Lead me to the heavenly light"

destination, the tourists were totally
ignorant of current affairs. And 1T is
not necessary TO go back so far to find
a lime when it was impossible tokecp
up to the minute or even day with the
march of progress, for the papers are
never available on trains up to the
very day of their Issue. But about a
year ago the Union ] .iflc established
daily telegrapimc news service for
its fast trains. and So Tuesday, when
the message came flashing over the
Associated Press wires that the pleni-
pontentiaries of Japan and Russia
had arrived at terms of peace, the
news was received at Union Pacific
headquarters at once and Immediate
ly transmitted cut to its great steam
