The English Equivalent of the Wor
IL Said to Re Creature.

The EnGlish Equivalent of the Word
Is Said to Be Creature.
What is the correct meaning of the
term creole? OF course, you know, or
at least you think you know. 1t Is a
term Of peculiarly American signifi-
canoe and is in such common use
among us that everybody knows what
it means-to them, but the trouble is
that it does not mean the same to ey-
erybody.
A party of young men was disput-
Ing In regard to the exact meaning of
the word creole some few evenings
6 and a newspaper man was called
upon to give his definition of 1t. He
did so and found afterward that quite
a diversity Of opinion existed among
those present, but a majority seemed
to agree that the term did not apply
particularly to persons Of color. 1t
would seem that there should be a
common understanding of the correct
meaning of the term in such common
use, especially in this section. For the
benefit Of its many readers the News
prints the definition as, given by both
Webster and Worcester, either Of which
should be good authority anywhere in
the United States. Here is the deini-
ton according to Webster:
Creole, n. (Fr. creole, from Sp.
criollo, meaning properly created.) l.
One born in America or the West In
dies Of European ancestors. 2. One
born within or near the tropics. Note
1.-THE term creole negro is employed in
the English West Indies to distinguish
the negroes born there from the At
ricans imported during the time of the
slave trade. The application of this
term to the colored people has led to
an idea common in some parts Of the
United States, though wholly unfound-
ed, that 1t implies an admixture great
err or less of African blood."-R. Hill
dreth.
The same according to Worcester:
Creole, n. 1t. creole; SIP. criollo; III.
~creole.) A native of Spanish America
or the West Indies, born of European
parents or descended from European
ancestors, as distinguished from a resi-
lem ~inhabitant born In Europe, as well
as from the offspring Of mixed blood, as
the mulatto, born of a negro mother
and the mestizo, born of an Indian
mother. n. B.-The Spanish and Por-
tuguese apply the term to the blacks
born In their colonies, never to whites
N. B.-t'The word creole means a ma

he be black, white or Of the coloreo

note in Webster says that the Spanish
word ''criollo," from which the French
got the word creole" is a contraction

of 'criado,'' meaning created. Thus IL

Americas Beauties.

Have you any idea of visiting the far
famed lake regions Of Italy or Switzer-
land? Are you aware that among the
mountains Of Idaho are lakes that ex-
perienced travellers tell us far excel in
scenic grandeur and picturesque beauty
the lakes of Europe, OF whose charms
poets have sung for ages? The average
American traveller seems blinded by
the enchantment of distance, and
ye1rns for the far-away hills and val
leys OF Europe, while passing regions
that are their equal, and often their
superior, near at home. The Alps, the
Rhine and Lucerne seem to ring In our
ears with more enticing magnetism than
tine Rockies, the Hudson and Lake
George, the Adirondacks and the Co
lumbia, but those who are equally ia
miIiar with all are free to declare their
preference for the American wonder
lands. There is a greater majesty IN
the Rockies than in the mountains Of
Switzerland. The natural beauty OF
the Hudson far excels that of the
Rhine. What would you think Of the
American student who studied Roman
history to the neglect of the history
OF this country or gave his whole at.

TIE best educated man Is the man who
knows his own country best. Let this

greater expense, search ont the attrac.

Popular opinion leans strongly towards the side OF the
belief that a big head means the possession OF a brain OF
more than average quality. 1t forgets that the saying

to take into account the fact that many distinguished
men have possessed small heads and brains of ordinary

brain weight. big or small, is no criterion of mental
ability Is a simple one. The brain of the average man

ORGANIZE FOR
COMING SEASON
May Festival Season Tickets
Subscribers Elected New
Board Last Night.
500 TICKETS ARE SOLD
AN ORCHESTRA EQUALLY AS
GOOD AS THE ONE THIS YEAR
WILL BE SECURED FOR NEXT
YEARS CONCERT.

Last night the subscribers to Fes-
tival tickets for the season 1907. met
in the Commercial Club rooms with
Henry Gennett as chairman and
Howard Dill as secretary, and organ
lied for the coming year.
Those elected to the Board of Di-
rectors were: Henry Gennett. Lee B.
Nusbaum, Rev. J. F.. Mattingly, Guy
S. McCabe and Jesse S. Reeves. with
Prof. Will Earhart as an ex-officio
member of the board. 1t will be the
immediate duty of this board to MAKE
a thorough canvass for the balance
of tickets which amounts to 500. At
present there have been 500 tickets
taken and the number of tickets to be
put on the market will be limited to
1000. 1t is the opinion that these
tickets will be at a premium before
the dates Of the Festival. Arrange
ments will be made to secure an or
chestra equal to the one of the past
season. Later a program committee
will be appointed to select such fea-
lures as may coincide with the public
tastes and it is the intention of Prof.
Earhart to spend the better part of
his summer vacation upon this work.
