NEW YORK, June 1s.-The suicide of

German silver has no silver in its compost

by German. 1t is a white alloy composed of
copper, zinc and nickel, and has been in use
in China time out of mind.
Greyhound has no connection with the color
gray. While the derivation of the first part of
the word is uncertain, it is possibly from grey
or gray, the badger, which was hunted by the
hound.
Gothic architecture is not the architecture
of the Goths, but the ecclesiastical style en-
ployed in England and France before the
Renaissance. The term was applied by the
Italians as one of reproach.
Irish stew is dish that is little known in
Ireland.
Rice paper is not always made from rice
There is kind that is produced from the
straw of rice in China, Japan and elsewhere
but the term is more commonly applied to

A PUBLIC BENEFAcTOR.

President ROOsevelt's dislike Of "tbe
man with the muck rake" can hardly
be wondered at, for "the man" has
uncovered so many scandals that the
Roosevelt Administration will go
down into history as the most dis
reputable era OF Republican supremacy
II there had been no muck, the rake
would have remained idle. Was not
a rake necessary to uncover the In
surance grating, the postal frauds, the
land frauds, the Panama grating aud
Acknowledgement, and would President
Roosevelt have prevented the exposure
OF these scandals, becauseit unmasked
the corruption or cOnnivance OF some
Of the highest officials Of the Republic
can party? II is no easy or pleasant
task TO WELD the rake, but the man
who does stir up the muck in an even
handed manner, telling the truth
without fear, or favor, is public bene-
factor. The fact is, the Republican
politicians had become so intrenched
in power that the grafters thought that
anything they did, however vicious,
would be unobserved by the people,
but the man with the rake with his
publicity, exposed them and the Re
publican party which was responsible
fer them.
