story of their grievances to the news

How to pronounce nArkansas.v

Joseph M. Hill, chief justice of the su-
 preme court of Arkansas, in Harpers
 Weekly.
 In the very interesting article in liar per's Magazine "The Pleasant Life of Pere Marquette" by Henry Loomis Nell son, l.. H. D., the statement Is found; ."rhey were among the Akamsea. This Is the way in which Marquette spells the name of the Arkansas Indians, writing the word of course, as it struck his ear; and so we may sympathize with the peo- ple of the modern state, who are so de- termined that the name shall not be pro- nounced as if 1t were heightened Kan sas that they have enacted statute con- deming all by inference at least, who do not say 'Arkansaw.' The correct pro- nunciation of Arkansas is not Arkansaw, but Arkansa This terminal Is not infre- ouent in Indian words received through the French and the final is silent and the a is long. For instance, Tensas river (and parish) in Louisiana is pronounced Tensa, as Arkansas is correctly pronounce ed Arkansa The statue referred to is no statute at all, but a mere concurrent reso- lution of the general assembly, of 1881 expressiong its opinion of the correct pro- nunciation of the name of the state in order to secure correctness and unifor- mity in oral official proceedings. The body of the resolution Is as follows: Be it therefore resolved by both houses of the general assembly, That the only

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be the last three days of this forced-to- move piano sale
 Every piano will be closed out if deeply cut prices and your own terms will sell them by Wednesday night 9:30.
 So we advise an early call on the part of all those who would like to take ad- vantage of this sale.
 We tried to prevail on the Eagle Saloon company to allow us to remain in the old store a few days longer or until our new store is completed. We told them our predicament having to move short notice and not being able to get into our new store for many days, and possibly not until late in October, on account of the building not being completed, and that it would be a hardship on us not being able to rent temporary or suitable storage quarters for our stock, even then having it more or less damaged; but they say they are in the same predicament as we are; that their present quarters, 1891 Second avenue, are leased by MT Shind- Ter, and are compelled to vacate their building September 30th.
 Here is a letter we have just received from the Eagle Saloon company:

Are Large Houses vulgar7

G. S. Street in London Outlook.
 Are large houses vulgar? Certainly a parvenu who should build himself house the size of Chatsworth or Raby would be vulgar, as lacking sense of propor- tion in a matter of taste The inheritcs { of such places are, of course, not vul- gar to live in them, though they are sometimes most unfortunate. Enormous houses survive the time of necessary retainers and a warlike state; they are useless for all modern purposes except display; pathetic, then when old, they are certainly vulgar when new

true pronunciation of the name of the state, in the opinion of this body, is that received by the French from native In- dians and committed to writing in the French word representing the sound; and that 1t should be pronounced in three syllables, with the final s silent, the "a in each syllable with the Italian sound, and the accent on the first and last sylla- labes-being the pronunciation formerly universally and now still most commonly used"
 It is conceded to men to pronounce their names as they see f1t and their pronun- citation Is binding. The same privilege might well be accorded state, and yet the Heightened Kansas and the over done Arkansaw are still frequently heard without the state, but rarely, and then only from newcomers within the state.
