The Term "Crony."

Every one uses the term 'crOny" In
the sense of "chum" or pal" and the
phrase "old cronlcs" has become spe-
clally familiar, but 1t Is doubtful
whether the original word bore any
reference to friendship. The new Eng
lish dictionary puts down its origin to
academic slang and quotes the immor-
tai Pepys for the earliest instances Of
its use. Quite recently, however, an old
letter of still earlier date has come to
light, in which n scholar Is described
as content to destroy his body with
night labors and everlasting study to
overtake his chronyes and contempora-
rics." From this 1t would seem clear
that the word was bit OF university
jargon, used to denote students Of the
same date and coined from the Greek
word that appears in the terms "chro-
nology," "chronometer," "chronograph,"
that are connected with time.

Market Letter.
specIal TO the Pros,

Special TO the Press.
Kansas City, No, Thursday,
June 80, 19O5.-Light receipts in
the native division, which may
be expected at this season, have
made it possible for statesmen in
the Quarantine division to obtain
advances this week, in spite of
liberal receipts there every day.
Prices were a little lower Monday,
but have been steady to strong
since, with today's market the
best of the week One string OF
steers that sold at 80 Monday,
brought SD. 90 today. Cows have
been selling strong, also veals,
but light she stuff on the canning
order is slow. Fair to good meal
fed steers bring 1915 to 1925,
good grass steers, and cake on
grass steers, SD so to $50, light
weight and thin steers on down
to So rs. Most of the COW stuff
sells at 2.35 to $50, veals 81. IS to
5 %, heavy calves 81. 10 upwards.
The big bulk of native steers on
feed have at last been marketed,
and this will remove one bad in
nuence that has worked against
prices all summer. The native
grass cattle will not appear in
large numbers for some weeks,
and in the meantime, prices
should rule firm.
Mutton markets are also higher
this week, 10 to % cents. Good
runs of Arizonas have been re-
ceived, wethers selling at $40 to
400, and yearlings at $40.
Some Texas ewes sold at S4 30
Monday, but receipts from Texas
have been small this week.
Native spring lambs bring up to
S7.25.
Hector Mckenzie the noted
sheep man of San Angelo, Texas,
had in yesterday G97 head of
wethers that averaged o. lbs. and
sold for $4 40.

From what has come down to us,
written, painted or chlseled the Egyp-

The details of the twelfth dynasty
show Egyptian elegance ut its best.
The lord has male housckeeper, his
miatre d'hote, called superintendent Of
the provision house" There was
superintendent of the baking house,"
and the mixer Of drinks had the title
Of scribe of the sideboard." Perhaps
he was butler and regulated the sup

were gardeners, portcrs and handlcraft
men, all busy in attending to the mas
ter. "a preparcr of sweets" must
have been cOnfectloncr. The Egyp-
tian when he was no longer mortal
had hopes of being well fed in the
hereafter, as he believed he would be
nourlshcd In his particular heaven
with abundant goose and beef. Offer

Mny Weddings.

May weddings are supposed by many
persons to be unlucky. 1t Is heritage
from the ancient Romans. A May
bride, says Ovid. Is short lived. his
explanation being that the month in
cluded the celebration of the Lemuria
in honor Of the dead. Apart from any
evil omen, such time OF mourning
would interfere with the bathing and
toilet arrangements that were proper
prelmnarics to weddings. Plutarch
suggests that, rs April was the month
OF Venus ana June that Of Juno, to Sc
lcct May was to slight those nuptial
goddcsses and that June, rs the month
of the young 0unlorosl. was preferable
to May, the month of the old ina jOrcSl.
Ovid's "McnSc mnlas maiO nuberc vul-
gus ait" there Is Il popular saying that
wicked women wed in May was in
scribcd on the gate Of Hollywood when
Mary, queen of Scots, married Both
well in May, 1857. What followed
strengthened Scottish belief in Mays
unluckincss.

years old, was arrested and in

LOOTING \ CITY

the rottenest political ana boss

Its corrupt municipal government
with beastly Republican MAORI.
ty, long tolerated by the people in
sleepy complacency, has through
yenality, looting and graft brought
the city to the verge of bankruptcy.
AS a consequence its schools, street
and watcrworkS departments are
depleted of money, and its taxing
and bonding resources having
reached the limit, its city council
began to east about for some means
TO secure ready cash asset. The
city owns a well equipped munici-
pal gas lighting plant, which is one
of its surest and most lucrative
sources of revenue. This plant is
worth $50, 000.O 900. The council
conceived the idea of bartering
away this valuable asset, and actu-
ally passed an ordinance selling it
to the United Gas Improvement Co.
