Drawing Room.

A curious and regrettable revival Of the word draw" in the sense of with. draw" occurs in drawing room." Here the original meaning of the word is lost because of its lamentable pronun- citation by the uneducated. Nobody, hearing 1t mentioned as sdroying room at its best or as "droring room at its worst.' would suspect it of being room to which to withdraw for relax alton. Most words of the kind. though, have no better claim to our admiration, and many have worse one to our sense of language. "Parlor" Is an ugly growth from the old monasterial par loir," or room where speaking vas al lowed. and "boudoir." that early Victo rian expression of gentility, began by being room to sulk ;n. Sitting room" is q strange instance of the confusion of cause and effect. and so is living room.' We come back to drawing room'' as to honest words. at ieast-- London Notes and Queries.

pu Maurier and the Fenian Leader.


 When John O'Leary. the Fenian leader. was released from prison tn 1870 after spending five of the twenty years to which he was condemned for @ felony he went to Paris, where he spent tbe next fifteen years of his exile. Tie revolutionary leader used to tell how when crossing ill the packet to France he met Du Maurier. then a young man, going to Paris to study art. They became warm friends, lodg' ing together in the same building. where they became acquainted with two other artists, whom Du Maur1er afterward made famous in his popular story '"rrilby" as The Laird and The Baronet. It was to O'Leary, who had been medical student in Paris long before he threw in his fortunes with the Fenian movement, that Du Mau- yier owed his first glimpse of bohe milan life ill the French capital.-West minister Gazette.

CROSSINGS ARE DANGEROUS.
A Special Menace to Autoists When
Left Unguarded.

Boston, Sept 5.-After the. many acci-
dents to automobiles ut railroad crossings
it would seem that drivers Of motor vehi-
cles would take exceptional care at these
dangerous places. No doubt these acct
dents have proven valuable lesson to
many drivers, but there still remain
few who take most daring chances.
Long before the inception Of the auto
mobile grade crossings We're looked upon
with horror by the driver Of pleasure
vehicles Even pedestrians learned TO
fear them and took no chances. Most
Of the fatalities are caused by unprotect-
ed crossings. where motorists have no
chance to ascertain the whereabouts o.
the approaching trains When the tracks
are hidden by buildings and trees or h1gA
banks the noise of the motor car enGaHa
usually prevents the train being heard
by the driver of the automobile
Particularly is this so through the hiiS
regions of this state, where a driver wHt
come upon a railroad crossing before no
realizes it, many times TO find that q
gets across the track just as an engine
appears around sharp curve. with apso-
lutelv no warning of its approach.
This is matter of vital importance 70
motorists and should receive careful con-
sideration. If motorists throughout the
state would take proper steps laws couid
soon he had requiring watchmen anu
gates at all crossings.

A.A. u. Official Is Charged
With Gross Negligence.
Allowed Longboat TO Compete
Without a Permit.
Also Allowed Amateur kut0ist to
Exhibit at ''Pro" Meet.

New York, Sept. 5.-CharGed with
gross negligence Of his official duties,
James T.. Sullivan, president OF the
Metropolitan Association of the A. a.
L., yesterday dismissed from Office
Walter G. Mason, commissioner and
handicappcr, representing the Metro
politan Association in the Western part
Of New York state, including the city
of buffalo. Mr.. Sullivan acted because
MaSonS recent course was detrimental
to clean amateur sport in the district
he represented.
On Labor day in Kenilworth park.
Buffalo, Thomas Longboat, the great
Caradiln Indian runner, competed
against three men, who beat him out
in Il threc-mile race. Under the rules of
the A. A. l.. no man coming from 4
foreign country can compete under the
jurisdiction of the A. A. L.. unless he
gets a permit from the chairman of the
Registration Committee of the district
in which he is to compete. That IS
where Mason failed in his duties, and
as a result LonSboat is disqualified
and cannot compete again under the
sanc'io of the Metropolitan Associa-
| ton. or, in fact in the United States
at all, under amateur rules.
At that same meet Mason allowed
kid Mccoy, the former prize fighter,
| to rum an automobile 10 miles around
| tho track for the benefit of the spec
| tatorS. This in itself would bring cen
sure upon the head Of any club man
ager or games committee under the
| sanction of the union, for the a. A. L.
| rules are specific in forbidding ANA
! tcurS To compete or even exhibit in the
same meet with q professional. Every
| man who ran in the Buffalo meet
| therefore is liable to suspension. al
| though the Registration Committee,
knowing that Mason was at fault,
probably will be lcnient With the ath-
letcs and allow them to explain.
| Frank Ntbrich, the distance runner
of TIE New York A. c., whose home is
| in Buffalo, recently went to Canada,
| and ut a set Of games at the Fort
Erie race track ran against a man
| named Coley in q special three-mile
run. This was pronounced Q. X. by the
| Registration Committee, but Nebrich.
on account of going into foreign
country to run without the consent Of
| the Registration Committee of this dis
trict. suspended himself, and for this
| reason cannot compete in national
championships of the A. A. Y. at the
| jamestown Exhibition. The Registra :
| ton Committee has not as yet acted
| officially on the case, hut it is an open
secret that the committee will confirm
this suspension at its next meeting.

No Kerosene Tail Lights

New York, Sept. The racino
board Of the American Automobile All
s"cla'l'h mas received from its tcchni-
cal advisers the following recommen-
datlons respecting the entries Of ears
IN 24-h"ur endurance contests nr relay
races, and requests that the promoters
81 Such contests provide each ontrant
with copy Of these recommendations
believing that by complying with the
same the safety Of the contestants ~
well as the spectators. will be better
Safc5u3rded, and accidents similar 10
those in former contests will be elm
mated as far as possible:
First, that the tail lamps upon each
car shall be Illuminated either by
acetylene gas or electric lights, sup
piled from accumulators. and that no
car should be permitted to start which
is equipped with tail lights using kerr
oSenG.
Seonds that all entrants and drivers
ascertain that their tire Tugs are OF THE
proper size for the tires; and it is not
thought advisable that any car should
start which. does not use at least six
lugs for each. tire. This suggestion ap-
plies only to cars equipped with
clincher tires. n
An important change was madetin
the plans Of The Morris Park Motor
dromc Club yesterday. After a thor
ough canvass Of the situation with re-
gard to the team race for "a hours
which had been planned for tomorrow
and Saturday. it was found that only
a few manufacturers or agents had two
carst availa BILE for use in this race. 1t
was. therefore. decided by the racing
committee Of the club that the team
race be abandoned and in its place
would be run a single car contest sim
liar to that run recently at Brighton
Reach.
1t seems probable that the 24-hour
race will attract from u TO 10 starters,
and an exciting contest should result.
