WORDS MAKE A MO-,
Alluring Title and Names of an Old
Time Play Something to
humble Over.

"Those who are accustomed to ridi-
Guile present day scientists because Of
their fondness for big words" said the
etymologist, will find them much
more moderate in the connection of
words than the old timers.
For instance, | have just como
across the account of a scientific
treatise published in the seventeenth
century that contains words even
much more cumbersome than its title,
which, by the way, Is 'Pan2oologico-
mineralogia.' A good mouthful, sure
ly, yet the meaning is easily ascer-
tanned when the word is reduced to
it's component parts.
THE list of long titles that were
then favorites would cause the modern
book clerk a spasm, yet the list could
be gone into indefinitely. A play in
blank verse published in the latter
part of the seventeenth century hat
as it's alluring title 'Chrononhotontho
logos,' and this was the opening sen
tence:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, where
left you Observation-Disclosures"
IF the modern mouthing actor can
hardly get simple Anglo-Saxon words
over the footlights, how could he get
along with hat morsel?'

SPECIAL MOURNING SHOTS.
New Idea in Footwear That Has Of
Late Become Quite
49, Popular. &

Shoes have been specialized for a
hundred and one purposes, walking,
dancing, yachting, golhng, house, lou
doir and opera wear and many other
uses, but shoes especially for those in
mourning are a variety of footwear
that only a few manufacturers would
think of producing. reports the Shoe
Retailer. Such shoes are made in
Lynn. and one firm shows them among
it's staple sample.
The mourning shoe consists of o
dead luster black leather, made up on
a stylish last, and ornamented with
mountaineering black ribbons and
beads. That it is a very proper shoe
among society women is shown by an
order which a Lynn firm lately re-
ceived. The order was for a pair OF
white IL V shoes, made on a certain
last. and it was filled out in the usual
form. but at the bottom was append
ed the following: please be sure
that the edges and heels are BACKED,
as the lady is in mourning
Black ribbon bows were placed on
the shoes and thus the mourning idea
was carried out,

To ADJOURN
To TUESDAY.
P~eaCemakers Take a Recess
After Failing TO Agree on
Latest Terms.
ROOSEVELT STEPS IN.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., Aug. TO-
Tuesday, having failed to reach an
agreement ON the four vital points at
isSue-cession of the island of Sakha-
lin, Russian territory for fifty years;
an indemnity to cover the expenses of
the war, surrender to Japan of all the
interned warships, with the exception
of the cruiser Lena, informed at San
Francisco; limitation of naval strength
which Russia shall hereafter maintain
on the Pacific seaboard.
Following the adjournment of the
conference President Roosevelt tele-
graphed to NJ. Witte asking him to
send Baron Rosen OF some other man
in his confidence to see the president ut
Oyster Bay.
The telegram was delivered to NJ.
Witte by Third Assistant Secretary of
State PIERCE, who then had Il long tele-
graphic conversation with Oyster Bay,
presumably with the president. There
were no details in the presidents mes
sage as to what he wanted to see Bar
on Rosen for, but there can be no doubt
that he is determined to seek to make
a last effort with the Russians to get
them to accede to some of the Japanese
demands and thus open Il, way for u
renewal of negotiations.
Ii is not known how the presidents
message was received by NJ. White, but
it Is expected that he will send Baron
Rosen or some member of his suit to
Oyster Bay. He can'do little less after
the urgent request of the president.
1t is known here that the president
has been in constant touch with the
course of the negotiations. His anxiety
that the conference shall not fail Is
well known. He will use every effort
to get a concession from the Russians.
Secretary PIERCE after his interview
with NJ. Witte tried Intellectually to get
( Sycamore Hill on the long distance tel
ephone. Failing in this he went TO the
telegraph room and, sitting beside an
operator, gave the president NJ. Whites
reply.
This answer was clicked off to the
operator at Oyster Bay and at once
communicated to the president.
Mr.. PIERCE remained at the Hotel
Wentworth for over an hour talking
over the wire with the president. His
automobile waited at the door.
Mr. Peirce plainly showed that some
thing unusual was happening. He was
greatly excited and refused to answer
inquiries except to say: ans...,a
81 can tell you nothing about it now
just what he meant by it he did
not explain.

Mr.. Colby declared that United
