night, wandering in the park. the mare
showed no indications Of a runaway. The
saddle was not disturbed. the rcins were
unbroken, and, in fact. there was nothing
20 give a clew 10 the tragedy.
The guards searched every part % the
park this morning in the hope Of finding
the young man. or at least some clew
that would lead TO the discovery Of his
whereabouts, but at noon had met with
no success.
Wednesday night search was made IN
vain for the rider, the guards supposing
that the horsem3n was thrown. Then IL
was supposed that the horse had run
away from some stable. though the owner
was not known. But when Mr.. De Lone's
brother yesterday identified the horse as
that of his brother. VINO BE- announced
had been missing since ne started out for
a Canter through the park on Wednesday,
the guards in the West PARK started TO
search anew. The search extended 10
every part OF West Park. and even
though the force of guards was aug
Ueuted they found nothing Of the young
clubman.
The case is most mysterious, and unless
there is some favorable result from the
search of the entire park to-day il is
likely that the SchuyiSill viii be dragged
on the theory that Mr.. De Lone may have
been drowned
Tae park guards are not sure that the
young man IS in the park as Frequently
he rode beyond its boundaries. and to-
DAYS search was not confined JO the park
entirely. as the guards viii extend 1t as
far as possible Mr De Lone's brother
IS of the opinion that Frank. because
he dressed well and generally looked
as though he had plenty of money in
his pockets may have been assaulted by
some thug.
As the young man vas an expert horse
man and accustomed 70 his mount, il is
not thought that he would have been
thrown and injured SO badly that he
would not make his predicament known
TO other riders or the guards.
Mr. De Lone. who is twenty-five years
Old and a son of Louis De Lone. di-
rector of the Merchants National Bank,
Of Harrisburg. was fiscal agent for the
clothing firm of A. c. Yates & Co. until
a little more than Il year ago. when he
resigned. Since that tins he was not

From the Continental Times.

Berlin. Dec. What proved 10 be one

in Berliu's long history Of great dinners
was the banquet rendered by the Amer
lean Association of Commerce and Trade,
AZ the Savoy Hotel, to the members of
the American tariff commfssion-Messrs
North. Mason, Gerry. and stone.
The dinner was notable principally for
the distinguished list Of guests who in
Guided all the members Of the American
Embassy and consul generals and a long
list OF high officials Of the German COVERT
ment. including all the tariff experts who
are negotiating with the American COM
missioners. one hundred and fifty gen
tlemen were at table and We're treated to
an elaborate menu Of ten courses sea-
soned with choice and bewildering array
of wines.
In accordance with the German custom,
Ambassador Tower, who presided, did
not wait until the end of the dinner To
begin with the delivery of toasts, but
opened the programme Of speeches amid
ships" by himself rising to propose the
health of the German Emperor.
Cxcelcnz Won Korner, director of the
numerical division Of the German
foreign Office. followed the Ambassador
with a toast TO the health of the Presi-
dent Of the United States, in which he
referred to Mr.. Roosevelt as THE great
friend Of our Kaiser" and paid high COM
pliment to the Presidents achievements
in the realm of International peace
Pre- sideut Rosenberg, Of the AssOcia-
tion Of Commerce. toasted the American
tarfnn ncommission. He said that Ger
many and America were lands of similar
ideals and that the future belongs to
them.
De. North, responding to President Hes

II his audience by abandoning the strictly
serious tone Of the preceding speakers
and breaking into the inimitable typi-
callv American after-dinner style OF
chatty oratcSy which las made the
names OF Choate, Depew, and TwalI IA
NOUS DR. North said he declined 10 be
ed into the trap which had 50 coyly been
aid for him, in the hope that he would
tell the banquet the heart secrets Of the
tariff commission. He would only coafde
10 them that he and his feliow-commis-

cory spirit and had been met in the same

No "Phonetic Sense. in EnuIIsh.

NO THofetlC oSnSC IN 6nQtiSn.
1t is because of the havoc which
the present spelling has wrought in
our conceptions of the proper repre-
sentation of sounds that the English
race, as a race, has lost largely the
phonetic sense. Dictate to a dozen
educated Germans or Italians a pas
sage containing a large proportion of
words they have never heard before.
If the pronunciation has been clearly
conveyed, they will all spell them
the same way. and will all spell them
correctly. Try similar experiment
with dozen English-speaking persons
of the very highest cultivation-in
the number it would be desirable to
have certain presidents of our lead
ing universities included. Not only
would they all be fairly certain to
spell the same words differently, but
the same man would represent the
same sound in different instances by
different signs The reason is obvi-
Gus enough. In German or Italian
the same sound is Invariably con.
veyed by the same letter or by the
same combination of letters. In Eng
fish the writer would have an in.
definite number of letters or com
binations to select from, with no ex
elusive value attached to any OF
them.-T. R. Lounsbury, in Atlantic.

And heart that catches the lit and

And the JOY that Is life and love and
