"WIDOW WOMAN"
Evidence That Second Word of the Elk
preston Was Once Necessary.

Numerous indeed are the motives which
have led and still lead men to resort to eH-
pletives. Certain of those now in use cop
tain little more than a repetition of TIM
same idea expressed by two Different
words. A part of the compound has be-
come obsolete or archaic; hence 1t needs
OF needed to have its meaning strength
ened. Luke, for instance, writes Professor
Lounsbury in Harper's, meant 'tepid;" but
as it came to be somewhat unfamiliar, the
sense was brought out with precision by
adding to 1t warm. Different from this,
though possibly allied to it, may be the
attributive use of widow in the expression
widow woman. III second word of the
combination is clearly unnecessary; but it
may not have been always so. The Diff
ference of the final vowel in the original
Anglo-SaXon words constituted the sole
distinction between widuwa a "widower'
and widuwe a widow" When The level
ling processes that went on after the Con-
quest gave to both these words the same
ending Re, a natural way to fix definitely
the idea of femininity, before -er was
added to create the masculine form, would
be to append woman to the common
word. If his were so. it would be almost
inevitable that the combination would sur
vive long after the necessity for it had
disappeared. However this may be. the
expression has slbsisted for centuries In
our speech. When in our version of the
Bible the woman of Tekoah tells King
David, Il am indeed a widow woman, and
mine husband is dead, we are supplied
in the same short sentence with illustra-
tons of two different sorts of ex~pletives.
For the one, the original Hebrew is neces-
sarily responsible; for the other, the six
teenth-century translators. The Wyclif1te
version of the fourteenth century had
"woman-widow." But whatever the origin,
the expression has come down to the pres
ent time. Nor is 1t confined, as is often
asserted, to colloquial speech. To cite one
instance out of many, it is used in
"Barnaby Ridge" by Dickens, when
speaking in his own person. ITO find this
widow woman" he says . = linked
mysteriously with an ill-omened man > . :
was IA discovery that panied as much as
startled him."

PITTSBURG, Oct. 3.-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance a week
ago of Percy G.. Digby, law librarian
of Allegheny County, was cleared to-
day by the finding of his body in the
river at the foot of Ridge avenue, AL
legheny. Digby left his office at the
Court House last Friday morning while
it is thought he was suffering from
mental ALTERATION, the result of over
work, saying he was going to the
bank.
That was the last seen of him alive.
A rigid search by the authorities re-
suited in reports that he had been seen
at various places, but these proved to
be unfounded.

HIGH BRICK WALL
AVERTS BAD ACCIDENT.
Stops Career of Runaway Horse and
Plucky Woman Driver Regains
Control of Steed.

t0pcSldt u III ENehiHB oldT.J
JERSEY CITY, Oct. 3.-The life of a
plucky horse-woman was saved yes
terday through sheer pluck and a high
brick wall.
Mrs. Fred Telling, of 482 Bergen ave
nue., this city, as has been her custom
for the past year, started from her
home for a drive. The horse, a spirited
Kentucky thoroughbred, drawing a
single-seated, rubber-tired runabout,
whisked along the Hudson Boulevard
at a rapid pace, much to the delight
of Mrs. Telling.
At Hammond Boulevard she turned
into Bergen avenue, and as she was
crossing the Newark and New York
Railroad bridge an engine emitted a
quantity of black smoke and blew its
whistle. This frightened the horse,
which gripped the bit and was off on
a gallop down Bergen avenue
Mrs. TELLING, her feet braced against
the dashboard, pulled and tugged on
the reins, with no apparent effect.
Down the avenue came the whirling
vehicle. AT Montgomery street two
trolley lines cross and ~intersect, MAX
ing a net of trolley tracks and cars.
As the horse approached the dangerous
spot two cars were crossing directly in
his path.
With a mighty heave on one of the
reins the horse was steered safely by.
At Bergen avenue and Brown streets
there is a high brick wall. This was
the goal of safety.
AS the big wall doomed up the horse
slackened his speed, and the plucky
driver iumDed out and grabbed the
steed's head. A crowd soon collected
and several men offered to drive the
horse home for Mrs. Telling, but she
smiling1y refused. She jumped into
the rig and drove off.
