THE PRIMARY.

The democratic primary to nominate g
candidate for Congress will be held next
Wednesday and the canvass, which has
been an unusually active one, is fast
drawing to close but will be kept up
till the last. The result is still in doubt,
hut the friends of Messrs. Osrlin, Nlcoi
and Gordon are still claiming the cleo
,ion of their respective candidates. But
little is heard here of Mr.. Ryan's candi-
dacy and in the betting he Is not Named
as il is claimed that his own county Is
not solidly for him and that Loudoun
never stands for her own countymen'
Loudouu, however, it is said can decide
the contest were she to cast q solid vote
for either of the three most prominent
candidates, bu! this, it is also said, she
will not do, as the vote there is much
divided already and would become more
40 should Mr.. Ryan withdraw from the
field. Mr.. Ryan, however, says he Il
in till the finish and denies the report that
he has not his county at his back.

Mrog ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

MUOd ADO AOOO
A year and half ago an old resident
of the southeastern section OF the CITY
laid aside his pilgrim staff aud was
gathered to his fathere, and later DIS
grave was sodded, q suitable hesdstone
erected and from time to time the SUI.
wing members OF the family have placed
flowers, jardinieres, &C., upon the MOUND.
Although companions IN sorrow, IL
seems that some of the children are not
on the best terms with one another, and,
strange to say, stten ion to the grave oil
the father have added to their varisnces.
About two months ago daughter OF the
deceased, who had previously placed an
urn on the grave, visited the cemetery
and found that two jsrdiniers had
been aided to the decorations OF the
mound, and, believing 30 many would
lpjure the soddiug, she removed the same
to the grave of another relative IN
an adjoining cemetery. This brought
on a war OF words In the cemetery,
which ended in the parties appear
ing before Justice Cation in the
Police Court. The justice, realizing that
the case re solved itself into an unfortu-
nate family jar, dismissed it with a lee
ture to plaintiffs and defendants. The
complainants, however, were not dis
posed to let the matter rest, and later
procured a warrant from Justice julius
pal,on for the citation of the young
woman before him to answer the charge
of removing the grave ornaments. Inc
case came up on q writ Of detinue, to
recover the jardinieres, valued at
ten cents each. Mr.. Howard w.
Smith appeared for the complainants,
and M. CHARLES Bendheim represented
the defendant. Mr.. l.. II. Thompson
was called 10 as associate justice. The
casa consumed aboutan hour and half,
and when all the evidence had been
taken and arguments heard, the court,
realizing that no serious offense had been
committed, although rule OF the come
terry had been violated by the young
woman in removing the decorations
directed the accused 10 return the jar
dinieres not to the grave, but to the
party who had placed them upon the
mound. As is often the case, neither the
plaintiffs nor defendants seemed salts
fed With the judgment. The litiganti
left the room aud upon reaching the
street walked towards different points Of
the compass.

CALL FOR THE HOGS.
Cry Used in Chicago Stock Yards the
Same That Was Used by Greeks.

According to the Chicago Tribune
the stock yards men who are driving
hogs to the killing pens use the cry
of "soi, soil" to urge on the unwilling
porkers. This very word, the paper
says, was once employed in the same
way and for the same purpose by the
swineherds of classic Greece.
From the age and place of Pericles
to present day Packingtown, the dis
tance both in time and space, would
seem to be such that nothing but a
miracle or a melodramatic coinci-
dence could account for anything
found common to those extremes.
And yet the connection Is clear one
in this case, and one that need not
arouse much surprise.
In fact, the same cry is found in
England and on the steppes OF Rus
sia There are a score of reasons why
it should be heard in Chicago, but the
one nearest at hand is that Lithuan-
ians, Slavonians and Poles are plenti-
full among the workers in the stock
yards. In all those languages the
words used to designate the hog are
closely related to the Latin and Greek
"sus" on one side and to the English
and Scandinavian Swine" on the
other.
And If sound, rather than spelling
be considered, 1t is well to remember
that the Dutch word for SOW is
"zeug," while the same word in old
Irish is "suig." What the word "soi"
really means to scholar happening
to overhear 1t out in Packington Is
that, no matter how far apart Anglo
Saxon and Slav, Teuton and Latin,
may feel themselves to be, they are all
close relatives-members of one great
race, the Aryan, and heirs to Ian.
