AT THE z. M. O. A.
Lecture on the Power Of Simple
Anglo-Saxon.


DR.. James c. Fernald drew on Senator
Tillman's Chicago speech for an illustra-
ton of the power of simple Anglo-Saxon in
his lecture on English synonyms" at the
Y. NJ. c. A. last night.
II suppose some Of you have read Senator
TiIlman's speech at Chicago" the lecturer
said. ITO suggest what might be done in
synonyms want to read a short passage
from 1t and then give a possible revision.
The account has 1t that some one inter-
rupted him from the gallery. Mr.. Tillman
exclaimed: oh, shut your mouth! You
don't know the A B c of this thing. for
got forty years ago more than you ever
knew That Is pure Anglo-Saxon, and An
glo-Saxon is unequaled for purposes Of
vituperation. Now, let's translate this,
using some synonyms. as follows: oh, be
silent! You are ignorant of the elementary
principles of this investigation. l dismissed
from memory more than forty years pre-
than you ever acquired. I think Senator
Tillman might have gone on in that strain
for two hours without needing officers to
guard him. It all depends on what you
want to do. If you want the learned and
reconcile, you want synonyms. If you want
the plain. blunt. homely style, use no syn
onyms."
Referring to the use of dictionaries and
books of synonyms, Dr. Fernald urged
that young writer's must understand that,
gives such absolute power In the choice of
words and discriminating use of synonyms
as to do the actual thinking themselves.
use the dictionary, use the book Of syn
onyms," he said, but remember the sug-
gestion of that great American teacher,
never really know anything until I have
taught II or written on IT."

DIRECT CONNECTION.
Proposed Plan to Secure Immediate
Aid Of Firemen and Police.

Aid Of Firemen and Police.
Commissioner Macfarland several weeks
ago brought to the attention of the cleo
trfcal engineer of the District the sug-
gestion that arrangements be made with
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company SO that any one desiring to
have the aid Of the police or the fire de-
partments need not give his number to
get either department at once. The cleo
trical engineer made the following re-
port to Mr.. Mcfarland this morning
showing what progress in this line has
been made by him:
About one year ago ARRANGEMENTS
were made with the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company for the rum
ming OF direct wires from each of the
telephone exchanges to fire-alarm head
quarters, to be used for emergency fire
calls. These connections were to be used
only in cases of fire, and would be so
designated in the telephone directory. As
the new switchboard now being installed
at fire-alarm headquarters is not vet
ready, nothing further has been done
toward putting in these connections, AS
soon as the new board is in operation
(Which will be about December o. the
question of the direct connection will be
taken up.
Il think the telephone company will be
perfectly willing to establish such a di-
rect connection between its several en-
changes and the private switchboard at
police headquarters If the matter is
brought to its attention. I shall be glad to
take this matter up with the company
immediately"

zens appointed by the Commissioners to

.partment, was officially presented to that
company this morning. The presentation
of this much-cherished prize was made by
Commissioner Mcfarland, with Commits
sioners West and Biddle present. 1t will
adorn the walls OF this house until 1t is
awarded to another company as the result
Of future annual inspections.
In presenting the trophy Commissioner
Mcfarland said:
for you have won the trophy flag on the
award Of a committee Of citizens, after an
independent inspection and upon your rec
ord for the year. Our fire department, con-
stantly improving. is better than ever be-
fore. Its preventive work has become as
important as its actual flref1ghting. 1t all
turns upon its members-their fidelity, cour-
are and skill. We are proud Of our men,
Having secured better pay we now want
better hours for them, and that, too, will
come. With a high-pressure 1re-protection
5ystem and the latest types Of fire appa-
we are asking we shall have the best
equipment, but we can have no better
men than those who have served the Dis
hASe Will SUCH success III Che past he

ciates you: Its support Of every measure

plause for every gallant rescue or skillful
feat of endurance, show that 1t admires

Personally I thank you very much for
the many good things you have said, and
while I accept this flag in behalf Of the
members Of No. 10 engine company wish
to thank you and also the committee that
inspected us for the honor you have con-
ferred upon us. This is more than we ever
expected. to win this flag for the second
time in a few years. The committee could
not have visited us at any worse time than
when 1t did. for we have the smallest num-
Der OF men that an engine company can be
run with. No matter how small the number
was, however, they did their duty and, did 1t
well; and I am satisfied they will do all in
their power to improve the efficiency of the
department."

PLAYGROUND EXHIBIT.
Plan Proposed for Display at tn.
Jamestown Exposition.

A letter has been received by DR.. Curtis
from Mr.. James e. Sullivan, president of
the Amateur Athletic Union. in charge of
athletics at the jamestown exposition, in
which. in reply to letter of inquiry, Mr..
Sullivan states:
II took up the question Of your play
ground work in connection with the James
town exposition with Mr.. Sexton, who was
in New York yesterday. The jamestown
exposition will furnish you with a hall for
your meeting, also an athletic field for ex-
plotting games. etc.; and they desire to
know how much exhibit space you want,
II any. for permanent exhibit, and what
you wish them TO do in SO far as installing
your exhibit at Jamestown Is concerned.
THE exposition, as you may know, has
not lot OF money to expend, but it Is will
Ing to cooperate with you and help out
It will be willing to set aside one week
lectures and manage the entire affair.
Now, II you have definite proposition
to make to him with reference to sports he
will be glad to take the matter up
MT: Sullivan declares that a playground
exhibition similar to the one given at the
Van Ness Park last September should be
arranged In Washington and transported
bodily to jamestown. 1t also seems de-
sirable that there should be an exhibition
of maps and charts showing the extent of
the playground movement in America of
cabinets Of mounted pictures of the play
grounds in all the different cities and mod
els of typical Fairgrounds of Chicago, New
York and Boston. There should be one pc
ROO each day given to biograph pictures of
typical activities in Fairgrounds, and an
other period should be given to an illus
trated lecture on the Fairgrounds and
Playground Needs of American Cities"
The Playground Association believes that
such an exhibition would be seen by thou
sands of visitors from southern cities, and
might lead many of them to take up the
movement If supplied with the funds nee
essary the Playground Association states
1t will be glad to undertake the work.

BIG DROP IN PRICES
LATEST SALES OF TURKEYS AT
Is CENTS PER POUND.

People who paid % cents a pound for
their Thanksgiving turkey have come to
the conclusion that they gave their orders
too soon. Those who waited until the last
minute were able to purchase at the rate
of Is cents pound. 1t is stated that there
were more turkeys offered for sale this
year than there had been at any previous
Thanksgiving in a numbr of years.
1.-The huge piles of turkeys that were in
market early In the week reminded me Of
years ago." said a local dealer to a Star re-
porter this morning. They came by train
and wagons, and although they were plen-
tiful, | am told there are some le1t Tor the
Christmas trade"
Some of the dealers kept up the prices
until the close of the market yesterday, but
others felt they could not afford to keep
over what they had on hand and they
willingly let go at Is cents. More than
one who refused to sell his turkeys for
less than 20 cents Wednesday willingly
disposed of what he had yesterday for 10
cents. This experience Is likely TO De ou-
plicated Christmas week.
1t Is stated that many turkeys were put
in cold storage yesterday. There were
also many live fowls left over and they
will be disposed of to dealers during the
next few days. There was not much busi-
ness done in the retail market this morn
ing. Many Of the buyers put in supplies
earlier in the week to last them over sun
day. Being Friday, there was greater
demand for fish and oysters than there was
for anything else. Local dealers are
handling large quantities of oysters that
are shucked at or near the oyster beds,
decreasing the demand for shell stock.
There Is nothing new in the fish market
this week.
There has been practically no change In
the meat or vegetable market since last
week, but butter has increased cents per
pound since last weeks quotations were
printed Should there be any further in
crease in the wholesale prices. 1t Is stated,
the retail dealers will have to increase the
price to consumers. Eggs are still scarce
and high, but, 1t is stated. the indications
are that they will get cheaper before
Christmas unless there is a decided change
in the weather conditions.
