Our Mother Tongue

\ funny thing our language is. A drug
gist, now, he drugs;
But you cannot fastcn "huggist' on the
chap who merely hugs
A thrower. also in this list, we often
say has thrown,
But who would dare insinuate a rover
e'er had rown?
The one who poses as a drinker we can
say has drunk;
But he who is a thinker-we cannot say
he's thunk,
No more than we, declaring that a
draughtsman skilled may draw,
Can equally aver that any craftsman
ought to craw
How easily VIC know that he a swimmer
is, who swan;
But even tho a trimmer is, we know
he could not tram.
The broker in our funny tongue is not
the one who brokes,
Fen though we readily admit the
smokers one who smokes.
A griever never groves, of course, while
many lender loans;
Yet every weaver oft has wove, though
never a spender spoans.
How queer it is! The sailor on the
ocean always sails,
But who would Ger imagine of a tailor,
that he tails?
Still. while we speak of many a man in
company as men,
None is so foolish, just because, to talk
of plans as plen.
You are so muddled? Yes oh, yes; the
dealer we'll has dealt
But that's no reason why n spellcl
should believe he's spealt!

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO. March 5.--Represen-
tatives of the Santa Fe railroad are
due to arrive here this evening to look
over the situation with view of get
ting a franchise either to here or Will
mington. City Councilman George
Peck was called TO Redondo yesterday
to meet these men and consult as to
the best means of getting into the
city. Mr.. Peck owns a large ranch
near that city and also ranch of con-
siderable size just west of Wilmington
and the road is anxious to get right
of way over these two places.
1t is proposed, if the right of way
can be secured. to build from Man
haitian Beach, where the road now is
in operation, to Wilmington on the big
ranches along the way, and then come
to San Pedro from there if it is pos
sible to get the necessary franchises.

Francisco. Secretary Root will take
the matter up with the president and
it is likely that representations will
be made to the authorities of Califor-
mia.
The ambassador said that the ex-
clusion of Japanese children from San
Francisco schools was the chief cause
of the harsh criticism of the United
States in Japan. He was inclined to
discount the other causes given for
the sentiment against this country.
The friendship between the United
States and Japan is too genuine and of
too long standing to Justify any formal
protest on the part of Japan because
of wrongs her citizens may have suf-
fered in some one locality in the
United States," said Viscount Aoki.
There is much misunderstanding in
Japan concerning the true situation.
Of course the Japanese government
fully realizes that the action against
the Japanese children is local and not
general in this country, but all the
Japanese people do not understand
conditions in this country and local
unfriendliness to Japanese is regarded
by many persons as a national ac-
tiOn."

ASSERT MINERS VIOLATED THE
AGREEMENT BY NOT WORK.
ING ON OCT. IL.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-The executive
boards of the Illinois Coal Operators
association and of the Coal Miners
union met here to adjust certain diff
ferences. The chief matter slated for
discussion is the fact that the miners
have been making a holiday of Oct
II, the anniversary of riot at Virden
Ill.,, in which a number of men were
killed. The operators declare this hol
iday is direct violation of the agree
ment between the miners and the op.
orators. &
The operators presented to the min
ers bill for s55o,Oo0, which they de-
manded should be paid on account OF
the holiday taken by the miners on
the anniversary of the Virden riot
The demand of the operators is based
on an agreement between the miners
and operators which declares that
holidays shall be taken only on certain
specified dates and that the sum OF
$40 shall be paid by the union to the
operators for every mani who fails to
work on other days.
The assertion is made by the oper
ators that the taking of the holiday on
Oct. IL was contrary to agreement ant
that they are entitled to the full
amount against the $4,000 miners in
the state.

DARING ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE
PLOT TO BREAK JAIL FAILS, BUT
TWO KEEPERS ARE sERI-
@-- OUSLY WOUNDED.

New York, Oct 26.-A daring at.
tempt to liberate fifteen prisoners
from Harlem jail was frustrated dur
ing the day, but not until one keeper
had been so severely beaten that he
may die and another sustained a
broken arm and serious bruises: Henry
Curtin, a. prisoner who had gained the
confidence of the prison officials and
had been permitted unusual liberties
about the prison, is charged with be-
ing the leader of the outbreak and
with inf1icting the injuries upon the
prison guards. s-s5. - !.
Curtin had been detailed as a
watchman on one of the upper tiers.
AS Edward M. Cuskley, one of the
regular keepers, reached the third tier
on one of his half hourly rounds Cur
tin sprang from dark corner and
struck him over the head with a

Curtin ran to the cell of Albert Ian

to open the door, While he was strug-

tin from behind. @-'F ..E .-.-
A fierce fight for possession of the
wrench followed. The keeper called
for help, while the prisoners sjeered at
him and cheered Curtin on. Cuskley
gradually was getting the upper hand
when suddenly Curtin drew back and,
whipping out. a long knife, drove it
twice into the keepers side and then
pounded him on the head with the
wrench. BY this time John Ford, an
other keerer, had appeared in re-
sponse to Cuskley's cries and he closed
with Curtin Ford was victor, but his
arm was broken in the struggle. Cusk-

SEGREGATION OF RACES.

Of Negro Problem.
Oberlin. o., Oct. 26.-At the meet
ing of the American Missionary asso-

D., discussing the negro question in
the South, said:
In the South the conditions are
rapidly becoming more unfavorable to
the negro. The manifestos of Gov
ernor Vardaman, which some time will
he endorsed by the people of the
state, and the recent campaign in
Georgia In which the candidate who
most unequivocally favored the re.
preston of the negro was overWhelm-
lngly elected, show the drift of opin-
lon in that section.
ITO keep 100000 negroes in slavery
who were born and reared in that con.
d1tion was one thing, to reduce 9,000,-
900 to serfdom after they have been
fifty years free is quite another thing.
Senator Tillman's prediction that race
struggles Of a very bitter nature are
likely TO be frequent and continuous
in the future is not without prObabil-
ity. | can see no other outcome OF a
strife of this nature but the segrega-
ton of the races. A portion of the
Southern domain will have to be set
apart for the blacks. We should prob
ably have three or four states, of
which the population would be wholly
composed Of negroes, governing them
selves and represented in the congress
at Washington. The blacks would
suffer by being thrown on their own
resources and it would take them sew
eral generations to work out the prob
lem of civilization. To the whites the
prosperity in which they are now re-
joicing would suffer severe, perhaps
a deadly blow" %~~ =. :.

classes all other liquor dealers. were
excluded by the old statute. The
new statute includes professional
gamblers, saloonkeepers, bartenders
or dealers in spirituous, vinous or malt
liquors. The most important changes
in the new reading are the substitute
tion Of the word dealers" where for
merly retail dealers" stood and the
dropping of the classes bona fide ho-
telkeepers,' which the old law spe-
cifcally mentioned as eligible. The
