Cicero and shorthand

To add to our limited stock Of
knowledge concerning the antiquity Of
shorthand, may l state that there is
preserved in the British Museum >
document Of about the third century
d. c., which DR.. e. A. Wallis Bulge,
the keeper of the Egyptian antiquities,
says is presumably in Greek short
hand, though some antiquarians ac-
count it to be PahlaVi, says a CORE
spondent Of the New York Sun. 1t
would be remarkable to find a Persian
script in Egypt, so either explanation
makes it an extraordinary document;
but 1t does not seem unreasonable to
suppose that there were Greek stenog-
raphers in Egypt during the Greek oc-
cupation, just as there are English
stenographers by the Nile to-day.
Should this conjecture be correct,
then this Greek shorthand Is older
even than the Tironian notes used by
Trio the freedman in reporting the
Orattons Of Cicero. A facsimile OF
Tironian notes can be seen in DR..
Henry Smith Williams History of
the Art of Writing" Vol. H.. plate 90.
1t was Seneca, the rhetOrician, or his
son, who, by the way, improved the
Tironian notes, but the "a. p. BIS" Of
those times have been forgotten.

A frugal and industrious shoemaker
has two daughters, of whom he is very
proud. He provides a good home for
them, dresses them we'll, and is giving
them a good education. Not long ago
he drew on his modest bank account
for sum sufficient to purchase a new
piano for them. What followed may
be described in his own words.
"Oh. yes" he conflded to a neighbor,
"they were grateful enough for it, Of
course, and it's great comfort to
hear 'em play and sing. but what do

Gibson's Definition of LADY"

II dined with Charles Dana Gibson
at Princess restaurant in London dur
ing the season." said Chicagoan to a
Philadelphia Bulletin writer.
The lofty, spacious dining room was
filled with women in pale g. WINS, their
hair uncovered and their arms and
necks bare, and though these women
were fashionable and aristocratic they
smoked cigarettes with their coffee as
they watched the bloscope pictures that
went on at one end Of the big room,
and as they listened to the singing that
went ON at the other
Amid all this feminine smoking we
Americans began to discuss and to de-
hne the word lady Was it ladylike
to smoke? we asked. Would a lady
ever smoke? What was lady?
81 think Mr.. Gibson's definition Of a
lady was the best that was given.
ga lady he said, ignoring the smoke
question altogether, is a woman who
always remembers others and never
forgets herself"

Arrested at Race Track.

William Clark, a former resident of this
city. was arrested at the races yesterday by
Pinkerton Detectives Bryan and Butler and
Detectives Weldon and Buriingame of this
city and held as an alleged suspicious per-
son. The prisoner. who is thirty-two years
of age. told the officers that he had served
two years in prison for "house Job" COM
mitted in Buffalo. N. T.. and that he spent
six months behind the bars for an offense
committed In Cincinnati
When reached the track the prisoner
said, II had 81, and 1 was lucky enough to
win $1S more. Then bet the whole sum
on Slickaway for place and lost"
The defendant stated that the Pfnkerton
detectives did not trouble him until his
money had been lost. but he had no COM

1t is said that Clarks grandmother owned

SHEPPARD BROKE
HALF-MILE RECORD,

NEW YORK. March 26.-Malvin W. Shop
pard, the all-around runner of the Irish
American Athletic Club, established a new
American indoor record last night at the
22d Regiment games He ran a half mile
in one minute and fifty-eight seconds. clip
ping two seconds from the record mark held
by Harvey Cohn.
sherpard's race was a wonderful exhibit
ton from points other than that of the
time. He started from the honor mark, CIV
ing fifteen fast men handicaps ranging from
eight to sixty-flve yards Jumping away at
the start with squirt that was at the rate
of 100 yards in eleven seconds, he soon
caught several of the handicap men. Not
for an instant did he lag. The fact that he
was within hailing distance of the leaders
did not make him slacken his pace.
We're 1t not that his company needed
points to win the regimental point trophy,
Sheppard in all probability would not have
started in this event. Before the race he
said he was not in the best of condition.

ers from all over the country are here to at

National Bowling Association. which OPEN
ed last night on the million-dolar pier
Mayor Stoy extended the freedom of the
city to the visiting enthusiasts. and for
mally opened the big tourney by sending
the ball spinning down one of the twelve
alleys. The ball went wild, and the specta-
tors cheered. The tourney Is to continue
until April 8.
Frank M. Clute, president of the N. B.
A., was to have aided the Atlantic City
mayor in the speechmaking, but was de-
tanned on business in New York, and will
be unable to be on hand. The alleys on
which the championships are to be rolled
are beauties and the wonder of the small
army of bowlers Never before have the
arrangements for national tournament
been so perfect. Everything was ready
last night, thanks to some fast hustlng on
the part of those In charge. Shining like
mirrors. the alleys were backed by rows
OF elevated seats for the bOwlers forming
my any crowding. Overhanging the alleys
on three sides the immense balconies
from which the spectators can view the
tournament In comfort. Immense score
sheets are placed directly on top of each
alley above the pits manipulated by oper-
ators who stand on platforms built for the
purpose.

Among the many messages of greeting
received was one from Canada, announcing

the hope that the tournament would be

BRYCE DINNER GUEST
UNION LEAGUE CLUB ENTER
TAINs BRITISH AMBASSADOR.

NEW YORK, March 26.-The RI Hon.
James Bryce. the British ambassador. was
the guest OF the Union League Club last
night at a reception and supper. The new
ambassador made himself strong with the
Union Leaguers, even though he didn't
show himself to be much of a handshaker.
A pleasant little talk, which could hardly
be called a speech, containing references to
the clubs history and traditions, a Scotch
story and handsome compliment to the
American Union placed the ambassador on
a warm footing with the club.
The reception was brilliant and pictur-
esque.
President Sheldon introduced the ambas-
sador. We meet here this evening"" said
Mr.. Sheldon. ito do honor to a distinguished
guest and to extend to the representative Of
great and friendly nation the hospitality
and the cordial welcome of the Union
League Club. 1t is not necessary for me to
say anything of Introduction for him to any
American audience
His words and works are well known to
us all. 1t has been said that the aristOcracy
of America is the aristocracy Of achieve
ment. There is no organization in this
country whose members have done more to
establish and dignity that aristocracy than
this club and there has never been a rep
resentative from any of the great foreign
powers so fully deserving of being welcomed
into Its fold as this, our guest of the even
ing.

and conversationaly.

for the honor and courtesy you have ex-
tended to me. Your president was kind
enough to refer to me personally, yet 1

has the warmest feelings for America
Il fully recognize what this club stands
