MANY FISH DESTROYED.
Coast Strewn With Dead Fish Cast
up by the Waves.

Houston, Tex, Oct. 19-Advices
from the Lower Gulf Coast indicate
that the beach for more than a hun
dred miles is strewn with dead fish
and that they have been thrown up
by the waves on the sands Cuntinu-
ally during the last two days. 1t
is believed they were washed in from
far out in the gulf. and their death
is due to some subteranean disturb
ance, which, it is thought, may also
have caused the huge wave which
swept the Cunard liner Campania
last week
Most of the fish are of the deep
water species and that leads 10 the
belief that they We're washed from
a considerable distance Especially
Is the beach Of Matagorda county

USAGE IN LANGUAGE.
Grammarn and Dictionaries Fall Before
 Customs.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
 Professor Lounsbury. one of the most tolerant and tolerable of all professors, for the reason that he professes so lit- tie and holds dogma so lightly in his
 profession, has some admirable obser- vations in the current Harper's on the
 uncertainties of usage in the English togue.
 He has always been a strong oppo-
 nent of the schoolmastery crew. who would govern our language by the rules
 and regulations established by Messrs.
 Lindley Murray & O., and has stood
 firmly for usage against the grampars
 and dictionaries of the class room He
 Is an opponent of most of the theories
 of "correct speech" and declines to bow
 to the admirably reasonable decisions
 of the parsers. "The question" he says,
 "is simple. Is the particular word Of
 construction under a consideration
 sanctioned by the authority of the best
 writers of the past and of the present."
 And 1t is just at this point that tho diff
 fculty of establishing a standard of correctness begins. For the truth is that the great writers are as incorrect, according to the opinion of the schools, as the great musicians or the great painters. And just as Bach is full Of mistakes that would never be tolerated
 in our academies of music. so do most of the notable masters of literature abound in errors sufficient to supply a complete set of horrible examples to any of our reasonable grammarians. As Professor Lolnsbury observes: The ability to white English correctly does not belong to~the great masters of our speech It is limited to theobscure men who have devoted themselves to the task of showing how far these vaunted writers have fallen short of 1A ta4t tained by their unrecogniged betters. As a result of these critical crusades there Is no escape from the dismal com clusion that the correct use of the lan- guage Is not to be found in the authors whom every one reads with pleasure.
 but is as accomplishment reserved ex- clusively for those whom nobody can
 succeed in reading at all"
 This unfortunate fact is Illustrated
 with an instructive history of such phrases as the three first" and the two first" instead of the first three" and the first two" The blunder Is a pet aversion of the grammarians, yet 1t has a respectable pedigree extending back to the fourteenth century So. too, with the use of lay for lie. Pepys, Fielding. Horace. WalpOIe. Scott Trol- lope were among the offenders, and Sterne persisted despite the ridicule of a reviewer, who, commenting on the lines, Maria lays in my bosom, ob- served: Our readers may possibly con- clude that Maria was the name of a faYorite hen."
 We may not conclude from this. how ever, that the substitution of lay for lie Is forever justified by respectable
 usage. The tyranny of authority is dangerous in whatever shape 1t ap- pears. and rule established on the oc- casional blunders of the great may be as mischievous as any of the rules es-
 abolished by the little grammar mak- CTS.

 The concrete foundation is thirty six and one-half feet square and six feet thick For the chimney proper the mixture was one part cement and three parts sand.
 The chimney is construted in two parts. From the foundation to a, height of ninety feet there are twoa distinct shells. one built within theS other, while for the rest of its heighY it is built with a single shell. r
 The purpose of the double shf S-et& to protect the structure from f,rack and strains due to the extreme variaT shell. which is separated from the outer one by an air space Of fiv& inches, Is designed to shield the outS shell from the direct effect Of the iny tense heat at the base of the chim ney, while the outer serves as likeS protection to the inner shell, by shield-p ing 1t from cold weather. which might cause it to crack by cooling too sud- denly

THE EXTRA SESSION.
Some Worry Felt by Taria sappOrters Over the President's Altitude.

Some Worry Felt by TariR Supporters
 Over ths President's Altitude. New York Commercial
 Exactly why the President delays the issuing of his much-exploited call TOT an extraordinary session of Congress Is not easily explainable. Az long ago as January last 1t wns well known that nc was using the possibility of an extra session as a sort of club with which 10 force action on railroad rates regula- ton by the Federal Government. The House fell into iine' with becoming promptness, but the Senate stuPoornly refused to follow suit. its minority lead CTS declaring that intelligent action could not be taken until the completion of the Interstate Commerce Commuters investigation of rates and the submis-. sion of Its final report.
 Then Chairman Elkins of that com mittee permitted the announcement to be made that he would have the report ready in time. if the President had It in mind to convoke Congress In special session early in October. And an im- pression was allowed to so abroad from the White House that such was the pro- gram.
 Still, no cali-only Q semi-of1cial statement occasionally, in no wise dis abusing the public mind of its under- standing of the matter.
 And now, within a week, an Oyster Bay bulletin bearing all the marks or actual editing. intimates that the call will name November II as the date of the special session and canal matters as its object, with the merely incidental remark that the President is also 6esir- ous of having Congress consider the rates-making question as we'll as some changes in the tariff law.
 Still, no call--and the country not little perplexed as to whether there Is to be any extra session at all CT. if there is to be. what its purpose Is.
 Now Congress might make material progress In canal legislation in a twen- ty-three-days' special session, but 1t could not Ego at" tariff changes and rates-reguiation at the same time and accomplish much in either direction. Neither the President nor anybody else ought to expect 1t to. Congressman Cannon of IIlinois-who obviously Is very confident of securing the Speaker ship of the new Congress-goes so far as to send out a bit of a threat on this score. "If," he says. the tariff is ex- pected to play any part in this extra session. I shall certainly try to dissuade the President" The President is not likely to be ''dissuaded." If he has tariff revision in mind. But the whole country-and more especially it's im- porters and exporters. along with the general business public-is getting a little fretful over the present uncer- tainty.
 This special session has been steadily forecast for six months past, but with numerous changes as to its date and its objects. The regular ses- sion Is only four months distant It Is high time that something definite were known about the thing. The public has a right to this information at the earli- est possible day. A session of Congress means a good deal more to the country than the actual performance there. Let the country be given the Chief Execu- tive's program now--if he really has auyf

At the regular meeting of the Mont gomery Cotton Growers Association held in the court room of the City Court of Montgomery yesterday noon, a report was issued by the Fertilizer Commit tee, that the acreage in corn and oats has increased while that of cotton has been reduced throughout the county.
 On account of the fever scare near and around Montgomery, the date and place of the Association barbecue will be announced later. It is stated that 1t will probably be at Snowdoun. An effort will be made to get Gen. stephen D. Lee, Commander-in-Ch Chief of the Confederate Veterans organization, to deliver an address at the barbecue. Other prominent speakers will be in vited.

 The apple makes an excellent foun- dation for several kinds of jelly. Grape
 jelly will not come" easily if made of
 grapes alone. Combined with apples
 1t solidifes perfectly and loses none
 of its grape flavor For this jelly use
 one-third of apple skins and cores to
 two thirds of grapes.
 Peaches and several other fruits can
 be used in the same way. Tangerine
 oranges combine we'll with apples If
 enough of the oranges are used to give
 the jelly strong orange flavor.
 Currants can be combined with blackberries, raspberries and huckle- berries. one-third of entrants being
 generally used to two-thirds of any of
 these fruits. Cherries are also used
 with entrants.
 One culinary authority says that
 few watermelon rinds, if properly
 soaked in salted water until all acidity Is gone, can be combined with pineap- pie. They will take on the genuine flavor of the latter, and become indis- tinguishable from 1t. The watermelon
 rinds should be used in the proportion or One-LnlTQ OI tne NelSht OA thC PihS apple all the fruit being cut in dice Another combination liked by some housewives Is one of prunes and apri- cots boiled down together in equal parts.
