Financial Affairs of Portugal's Famil
 nfmcuaned

Financial Affairs of Portugal's Family
 Discussed.
 Lisbon, June 20.-A series of stormy debates in the Portuguese Parliament over financial advances to the royal family has disclosed the fact that a major portion of the funds advanced to the late King Charles. went to lift the mortgages which King Luiz had placed upon the Braganzia estate be- fore his death.
 Finance Minister Espreguira has been forced to admit that while Minister of Finance ip the Castro Cabinet. 19o4-5, he advanced much money for this pur- pose on the solemn promise of King Carlos to refund in annual installment from the revenue of the estates. As none of the money. amounting to $700.- 900. has ever appeared from the Gov ernment's financial statements, the Re- publicans and other opposition parties charge that for years past. the Govern ments have been nothing more than a farce. Strong language has been used in the denunciation of Minister Es- pregueira, who is termed a public pill ferer. The Republicans. supported by the independent newspapers. demand the sale of the Brazanza estates, In or der that the treasury be reimbursed.

London Special.
 Prof Brandrs repeated statement that Englisr English is not English is amply confirmed if one listens to the average Cockney murdering his mother tongue. The Cockney atroci- ties have lately come up for discussion in the newspapers. apropos of the foundatfon at Hornsey. North London suburb. of Pure Speech League"
 George Bernard Shaw is one of the most strenuous opponents of Cockney speech. which he has attempted to translate Into print as 1t i@ really spoken. He declares that even society town" and "cowcow" for cocoa.
 The long a fin words like dance and glass Is characteristic of Londoners of every class. but a true Cockney pro- nounces the words something like "dah ruce" and glahrss''
 Many quaint specimens of Cockney English are quoted In the campaign against Cockneyism. Here Is one; "Biby's nime's times, pIine Jfmes.' Substitute for 1 and you see what was meant.
 leading barrister in the London courts was heard to say to a witness: "Dijjer sye 70 sawr i'm in the linef"--- question which the witness. being a Cockney himself was able to translate as "Did you say you saw him in the IaneY"

 Tn English public schools most of the attention is devoted to Latin and Greek. Tn America colleges Englieh takes the first place in language studies. The students are taught the pronunciation of Anglo-Saxton and Middle English and modern Engiisli is taught to them as a matter Of course Constant attention devoted to the phonetic history of words does, of it. self, encourage a precision and nicsfv in the use of those words as employed today.

Boston Globe.
 The public is apt to foreget the srn- portant part that hotels play ln the affairs of this world. The hotels have aiawys been closely related to the public welfare. Tn these establish ments statesman al.d men of afFairs meet frequently to consider the public veal and formulate policies for nation. State. and city. Like the taverns oe century ago. hotels are 'fountaina of news" and news gath erers and pub lie nlsn highly appreciate them.
 This class relation between hotels and men of affairs has existed since the foundation of the republic First. there were the inns and tavsrns started in l7s5 and kept on the "Americar plan" The taverns were small. cen~ taining about twenty rooms. The furniture was plain and meals were served at regular hours. the landIady and her assistants doing the cooking Game was abundant. and some taverns kept hunters. Liquors wera on many hotels tables and the guests helped themselves freely of light wines. Each tavern had a bar. ballroom. and stable. When the orst Congress met in New York in f7sa the members were mostly accommodated in prf- vate boarding-houses. Tn i7sS the taverns of consequence were in NsEv York. Philadelphia.

Citizens Are In Controversy With Of- ncinls of the Aberdeen and Tom bigbee Valley Company, Which
 Makes Threafs

Columbus. Miss. June 20-(SpeciaL) ) Members Of the City Council and Directors Of the Aberdeen and Tom bigbee Valley Railroad are engaged in a controversy over the route of the road through the city.
 According to the provisions of the franchise the route must meet with the approval of the Council and the line as at present surveyed is being strenuously objected to by various citi- zens in East Columbus.
 Jt the present plans of the railroad peop.e are carried out the line will traverse one of the most desirable res idential sections of the city, practice ally ruining a vast amount of valuable property. Entering the city from the northwest. the line will run in a southernlv direction to South Sixth Avenue, cutting the Marx and Heard addition half in two.
 Property holders in the section af- fected have requested the City Coun- ell to compel the railroad people to carry their line as far east as Twen- ty-Eighth Street before turning south. If this Is done the road will make a circuit of the residential section, leav- ing it untouched.
 The railroad people contend that to carry the line as far east as Twenty
 
 of a larger sum of money than they are willing to expend, and declare that unless they are allowed to construct the line according to the route survey ed, they will cut Columbus out going from Aberdeen to Pickensville via Steenston. Columbus citizens, how ever. are not inclined to take this threat seriously.
 The people of Columbus voted bonds in the sum of $50,0o0 for right -of-way and terminal facilities. and Steenston. which is a small village. could hardly offer any Inducements In the way Of a donation.
 The company has gone so far as to select site for its depot, which Is to be located just across the street from the Mobile and Ohio station. The site comprises one city block and is owned by c. F. Sherrod. one of the Directors of the railroad company. It was for 'merIy the site of cotton warehouse, which was blown down by the storm which swept over the southern section of the city about two months ago.
