In the world of letters also many
words have strayed away from their
true sources, and have lost their correct
marks, just as the Grant cattle lose their
proper brands. We are so fond OF ind
ing out the beginning of things that 1t
NAV be interesting to glance at some OF
these words whose apparent derivation
is at variance with the actual one.
There is that useful domestic article,
isinglass, for instance. How natural to
take it for granted that its use for icing
purposes, and the CLASSY" surface 1t
produces are jointly responsible for its
name Yet the word is really an angli-
cizing of the Dutch hniseublds sturgeon
bladder, which is altogether different.

roots Palestine soup, III innocence of
the fact that the word 9 Jerusalem IS
distortion of girdSOIe, the Italian for sun
flower, and that the artichoke has no
more to do with Jerusalem than with
Dublin.
Equally inaccurate is the name 'brier-
root" given to the kind of pipe that many
smokers love They are not made from
the brier at all, and opinions differ as to
whether this word is a corruption of
Beirut, the Syrian city which exports
large quantities of the wood used in the
production of the pipes, or of brnyere
the French name for heather, whose
tough woody fiber is well adapted for the
purpose. -
Ii we were asked to give the derivation
of the word "blindfold, " as a matter of
course we should respond that it comes
from making a person blind by folding
cloth over the eyes. But our answer
would not be correct The original
word was blindfclLed, that is struck
blind, and how it came to so change both
its form and its significance is a puzzle.

shame is plainly revealed But at the
outset the word had no reference to the
face whatever. 1t was written shame

in shame, which is entirely a different

MUNICIPAL
BUILDING
Matter Discussed Before Spe-
cial Committee Of the
Board of Aldermen.
MAYOR REEDS PROPOSITION.


The special committee Of the board
of aldermen consisting Of Mayor Reed
and Aldermen Day and Rutan ap-
pointed to look into the matter Of al
municipal builing, held a public meet
ing in the rooms Of the board Of alder
men on Monday evening. 4 number
of citizens were present and an infor-
NAL conference resulted.
Mayor Reed acted as spokeman Of
the committee and exhibited a plat Of
the ground owned by the town at the
corner of Speedwell avenue and Water
street, also a rough sketch Of what
might be done Ia a way Of a building
on that site. He said that it seemed
to the committee that a town build
ing should stand on the Park and that
there are only two sites available, the
one now owned, or the Cobb lot, occu-
pied BY the marble yard. The Trim
mer plot on South street was the only
other site suggested by citizens. May
or Reed said that to purchase another
site would mean considerable expendi-
ture, and If building was erected on
new site, Id order to occupy it. ac-
commodations would have to be found
for some Of the fire companies. This
would empty one fire house at least,
and leave the town with property to
sell.
Two plans might be used to finance
the erection. first build only part of
the whole structure with the $4,000
now in hand together with what will
be saved this year, or issue bonds or
notes and put up the whole structure
at one time.
T. w, Cauldwell questioned whether
the fact that bonds were issued for a
town hall would affect the credit Of
the town if a larger issue should be
fioated sewerage for instance. Mayor
Reed Thought the small issue needed
would not affect the larger project.
A. L. Revere asked about the
amount that Morris County Is liable
to callupon the town TO pay for road
improvements. The Mayor said that
that question hung over their heads
like the sword Of Damocles, but he did
not fear that. The law permits the
raising OF extra money for municipal
buildings and the other could also be
attended to.
There was considerable discussions
to the proper amount to expend and
opinions expressed as to the pOssibiliA
ties Of an ornate structure on the lot,
which some compared with the Flat
| iron Building in New York. No for
NAL action was taken.

THE GASOLINE MEASURE.

PASSES the Board of Alderman In
Special Meeting Friday Night.
The board Of aldermen held special
meeting on Friday evening to consider
the gasolene ordinance. A substituted
ordinance took the place of the orig
inal draft on the second reading. 1t
differed from the original draft in
that it excepted quantities Of five or
more gallons when in receptacle
directly connected with stove, lamp or
machine, this Including automobiles.
The ordinance as so amended and fix
ing the fee for permit at one dollar
was adopted by unanimous vote of the
aldermen present. The absentees
were Aldermen Lippman, who was
reported i'll, and Belby.
After the passage of the gasolene
measure Mayor Reed brought up the
matter Of the Mann barn. He called
on Counsel Muir to explain what had
been done. The latter said a notice
as provided by the ordinance signed
by the Marshal had been served on
Mann, and the latter warned that he
would get into difficulty If he con-
tinued the work. The ordinance, coun.
sci said, provides a penalty OF $40 for
each day the building stands.
Inquiry was made as to the exact
condition Of things and Alderman
Karn said he had been past the place
where the barn is going up and that
the partially burned structure was
torn down to the level of the floor, SO
that the building is practically new.
The legal members of the board and
officers discussed at some length
whether it would be best to bring a
series of suits to recover the penalty,
or 60 into Chancery and secure an in
junction. The matter finally was re-
ferred to the fire committee to in,
struct Counsel from time to time what
steps to take. The aldermen expressed
the Thought that IL the ordnance is to
remain on the books it should be en-.
forced.
An application and bid for trimming
the trees In the Park was received
from Germantown, Pa. firm, but nc
action was taken.

If we have number of delegates
attending this convention, when we
need men to supervise the work on
the roads in the future. it is likely
that they will be selected from
among those who have seen what
science and invention have done in
other parts of the nation for the road
making industry. There is no doubt
that there are both methods and
materials, as we'll as ways and means.
that are far in advance of those used
in this section, and at the coming
convention will be the place to be
come acquainted with them. The

worth the cost of the visit to parties
who are interested in the making

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.

We publish in this issue notice
or the time and place of the holding
of the fifth annual national good
roads convention. The subject of
good roads is growing upon the
American people, and in no part of
the nation is there more need for its
application than in southern Utah,
whore nature has presented so many
obstacles, and where the roads which
we have are kept up at such heavy
outlay of time aud money as they are
here. This section of the state, and
especially that section which lies be-
low the rim of the basin, should be
we'll represented in the convention.
Much of the money that has be en-
expended for roads in this part of
the state, as we'll as ia other parts
of the state, could no doubt have been
spent to better advantage if the
parties in charge had understood the
latest and best methods of road build
ing.
