The Use of Slang.

New York Tribune.
 The suspicion that Brooklyn school girl killed herself because she mad been threatened with punishment for using slang may or may not be well founded. l. is unquestionable. however, that among school children as well as else where the use of slang Is far too pre- valent. There are some slang words which are not only unobjectionable but also decidedly useful and which may profitabIy be incorporated into the standard vocabulary of the language. Not a few of our words which now en- joy unchalIenged standing had their origin in slang. Unfortunately, there are still more slang words and phrases which serve no useful purpose, put which are simply vulgar and offensive, if not actually indecent or protane. The Encouragement and suppression of these would be a greater service to the language than the elimination Of a few superflous letters in photography.

Herr AdoIph Won Dietierich is en- Raged.
 The anger of Herr Adolph won Die tierich has been carried to the Cover nor of Alabama.
 Let the populace rest easy. Let the martial spirit of Alabamians calm it. self. These little paragraphs have no bearing on probable complications pe- tween his Excellency William Dorsey Jelks and His Imperial William Ho- henzollern.
 Herr AdoIph von Dietierich is off, cial gardener of the State of Alabama. His name is not writ in the official di- rectory of Secretary of State Ned Mc- David, but he draws his daily stipend as regularly as a clerk for legisia- tive committee.
 Listen to the cause of the Teutonic wrath of the gardener with the un- spellable name. For many weeks. the gentleman with the dill pickle title had labored faithfully to make the Capitol grounds a thing of beauty. The jovial spring time approached and the work of Herr Adolph was appreciated by the Capitol employees and the hum dreds of people who daily visit the historic building. Flowers of the poetical season had sprung up in neat ly arranged beds over the entire Capi- tol grounds. By the grim old monu- ment. there were roses, so red that the deathly pallor of the stern marble sol diers. was. softened and they almost seemed to breath again.
 And the Herr Adolph was satisfied.
 Yesterday morning, however, differ ent emotions swept his being. Every one of his flowers had been picked dur ng the night. The Capitol lawn was as bare as a trust investigation re- port. Some person. to whom the flow CTS did not rightfuliy belong was lean- ing back in a Morris chair and inhal- ing the incense from the roses of the Herr Adolph von Dietierch.
 The thought struck him to the heart He dashed madly up the Capitol steps

Fishing Business Poor.

Owing to the fact that catches have been so poor recently that the fisher men are able to earn but scanty liv- ing a number of the best men engaged in that industry have left Pensacola within the last month. It is said that smacks sailing from Mobile and Gal weston are doing no better than the vessels from this port. Several ves- sells have arrived lately with catches so small that the profit on the catch would not pay for the wear and tear on the vessels In addition to this the fishermen say that 1t is impossible to get a cargo, even under favorable cir cumstances without being out any where from twenty to twenty-eig days, whereas three years ago the average trip consumed but fourteen days.
