plif1cation The board believes that this Ii
a natural and easy first step toward further
simplifications such as have been proposed
and accepted from time to time even In
the nineteenth century. 1t Is pointed out
that Macaulay spelt phenomenon. Thack-
cray CIPHER, and Parkman enguiph. altho
every one now spells phenomenon. cipher.
engulf. SO esthetic and program are now
established, and catalog and altho are GER
tain to win acceptance in the immediate
future. This simpliacation by omission IL
nothing new; 1t Is a process which has been
going on for centuries and which has given
us today. for example. almanac. era, fan
tasy, public. and wagon instead Of altman
ack. aera, phantasie, publick. and Wagon;
and, to go little further back. bat, set.
dim, sum. fish. true. civil. fatal. etc. instead
OF the Elizabethan bate. settle. dimme,
summe, fysshe, trewe. ciuiII fatal. etc.
The board answers its most vehement crit
les with the simple statement that There
Is nothing radical. nothing dangerous, in
urging the acceleration Of this normal
process"
In a statement Of fits aim the board says
It does not intend to advocate any modif-
cation of English spelling that is not tenn
perate and reasonable. 1t Is not in favor
of any freakish photography. The board
shows Its broad acquaintance with this SUBJ
ject when 1t says that spelling is never
stable and that there is no final standard
of photography. All that the accented die
tionaries can do Is to record the varying
usages. The board simply wishes to extend
good usage.

Spelling Reform.

The simplified spelling board in a late
circular answers many of the objections
urged against spelling reform and truly says
that many OF the articles which have ap-
peared in the newspapers with reference to
the movement reveal serious misconcep-
lions, and in some cases complete lack Of
information.
The board declares that while it embraces
in its membership scholars, educators. men
of letters and affairs, specialists In phil
ology and editors of dictionaries. and that
while it has a right to be credited with
some knowledge of the English language
of the history of English photography and
of the difficulties to be overcome in the
endeavor to simplify 1t. yet the board makes
no claim to authority" and Is aware that
It's proposals must stand on their own
merits, each for itself,
As newspapers that have treated the
question I'm a spirit of candor have pointed
ont, the board itself admits that 1t has
not yet proposed any innovations Of its
own. 1t has begun by selecting from the
several thousand words now spelled in two
or more ways, three hundred of the most
common, and 1t has urged the, public to
adopt now the simpler of these two forms
and thereby establish the principle Of sim

Woman and the Horse.

The woman is a good friend of the horse.
Many horse and mule, lame. sick or halt.
overworked or underfed, owes deliverance
to woman. Perhaps it Is woman's touch
that vitilizes the humane societies. In
her merciful activity she should be en-
couraged. Let her keep an eye open for
gals under the collar. saddle and girth,
and for horses too lame for travelling or
too weak for their load. Let her make
complaint to the driver. owner or police.
That poor horse is worth the effort.
1t will probably be said that few women
know anything about q horse. Well. the
average woman knows as much about q
horse as the average hired driver, and she
cares more about a horse. Call q police
man or telephone the s. P. G. Al
This little item about a horses friend Is
clipped from New York paper:
"a young woman who said she was Abbie
E. s. l.. Goode of Philadelphia went to the
TenderlOin police station early last night
TO complain of the treatment she received
from employees Of stable directly across
the street from the hotel where she Is
stopping temporarily.
early tonight said Miss Goode, I saw
a team in front Of the stable The horses
were tapping up muddy water from the
gutter l went over and spoke to the driver
and asked him to give the horses a bucket
of water. He told me to go to a certain
place which 1t Is not proper for woman
to mention. After I had expostulated he
produced bucket of water and shouted to
stable boy to bring couple of straws.
Maybe the lady would like to drink
from the bucket he said.
"Sergt. Bailey sent a policeman down to
the stable with instructions that the horses
should be watered, and above all that any
woman who made protest should not be
insulted"
Abbie Goode is worthy of her name

"Typhoid Normal"
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The Maryland Medical Journal for Sep
TENDER protests against the equanimity
with which the public receives the an
nouncement that the number of cases of
typhoid fever is normal 1t should not

normal. There should be progress, rather
than dead standstill, in matter 80 sus-
ceptible Of Improvement AT the end of
the year." says the Jouranl, 1.-The usual
number. 500 victims of typhoid fever, will
be counted among the dead. and some 5000
persons, having weathered their attacks,
will count typhoid fever among their inter-
esting adventures. Perhaps 1900 others
will be disabled by the Eberth bacillus. ard
will recover without having discovered the
name or nature of their Illness. Typhoid
fever Is epidemic in Maryland every year;
that Is the normal course of events. It
all the typhoid fever In year should hal
pen In one week the shock would be ap-
palling." An Improvement Is noted in the
extending prevalence of the idea that the
history of every attack of typhoid fever
ought to be traced back to the time and
mode of entry into the patients body. Such
an idea has in it a germ Of progress.

John Brown and osawatomie.
From the Baltimore American.

Kansas celebrated Thursday the fiftieth
anniversary OF the battle of Osawatomie. 1t
was not much Of a battle, in fact, scarcely
a respectable skirmish. but it was the first
serious clash between slavery and the free
staters, and many have regarded it as the
prelude to the civil war. In reality, its only
Importance from a national point Of view is
the fact that John Brown commanded on
one side. Anything connected with him is
of interest, and his career In Kansas made
him a man of note before he made his at
tack on Harper's Ferry. While the clash
at Osawatomie created considerable ex-
element and infiamed many both north
and south, it had no appreciable effect on
the nation IT was Browns raid on Har-
per's Ferry that set the glowing embers
