the tenth century that the name Scotia or Scotland was applied to any part of the country that now bears the name. It had been applied always 10 Ireland but at that time was given 10 a part of the lowlands lying north or the Firth of Forth. In the thirteenth century the name grew to include tn e whole of the kingdom. So the Oio Irish Scott, plural Scuit. means Irish and in Adamnan Scotia is "Ireland and Scott. the Irish"
 An Irish sept called Scott invaded Argyll in the fourth century. They early joined in the forays of the Picts and by 360 hads passed the Roman walls In the sixth century they still occupied only Argyll. Three centuries later Kenneth Macalpine united the royal lines of the Picts and Scots. To the Kingdom thus formed were afterwards united the English earldoms of the Lothians, the northern part ot the British Kingdom of Strathclyde and the Norwegian earidom of Caithness.
 The earliest known mention of the Scott is that of 360 A. D.. in the Latin writer Ammianus Marcellinus. Book II.
 The meaning of the name is quite uncertain.
 Isidore of Seville writing in the sixth
 
 He says they were called Scotti be- cause they tattooed their bodies with iron points. In harmony with this is the explanation of Rhys, who de- rives 1t from the Welsh "vsgyrhu, ito cut, to sculpture ysgwthr "a cutting. carving. sculpture" hence "the cut or scared people" ~
 Macbain would connect the name with the radical skat, ito hurt" scathe, ''to cut" comparing the Eng fish scathe. ito injure." harm the Anglo Saxon scatha, .one who scathes or fnjures foe." Old Saxon scathe. "a foe" Old High German scado. ''one who injures. robber. foe," Gothic skathjan, ito injure." and the Greek translates Scots as "the masters. own CTS" He thinks it is allied to the Gothic skatts, money coin." Old High German scaz, money" "a defi- nite coin" Old Morse skattr. tax. trib- ute" Old Tristan sket. money. cat tie." Old Saxon scat. piece of money. property" German schatz. treasure. property. certain coin," perhaps all due to borrowing from the Old Sla vonic skotu, cattle" The Anglo-Sax- on word survives in the English scot and shot as in the phrases "go scot free" and ''pay his shot"
 Minor interpreters have sought to explain the name as "the wanderers, the nomads." either by connecting 1t with the Gaelic squit. Irish scuite, "a wanderer." or with the Greek skythes. Latin Scythes. "a Scythian" said to mean "a wanderer" Another traces 1t 70 the Creek skotos darkness" "the dwel1ers in darkness"
 Others still more fanciful need not be cited. Reference to one will be found under o'Neall in No. II of this series. The truth is probably to be found fin the view of either Macbain or Stokes.

The King to Visit Berlin.

London. Sept. 26.--The report that the King will visit Berlin early next year has created good deal of in- terest in the Prussian capital. where his majesty enjoys a certain amount of personal popularity. According to rumor, the King will be accompanied by Queen Alexandra about whom there exists much sympathetic curiosity In the minds of the inhabitants of Ber- lin. Her majesty never much inclined towards her Hohenzollern connections, who had despoiled her father, the late King Christian of Denmark. of his cherished possession, Sehlenwig-H Hol- stein. She has been very little in Ber- lin, or even in Germany. except on very special family occasions, and her visit will consequently be something of an event

physically unfit for matrimony will be
charged in the Countess of Yarmouth's g

decade ago and exchanged declara,
tions with her before witnesses that
they were man and wife-a legal mar

FRANKLIN, w. Va, Jan. 2s.-Word
reached here yesterday OF the murder
of Arthur Greenwalt. aged about Is
years. by his uncle. Isaac Dean. aged
about 60, near Kline. this county. A
Winchester rifle ball was sent through
the boys abdomen. While walking
across field brother of Greenwalt's
saw him fall, and running TO his as
sistance found him dying. He ex-
claimed, IKE Dean has shot me-"
There has been grudge between
Dean and the boy for several years,
and the former was once tried for
shooting at Greenwalt with intent to
kill, but was acquitted. Deans pre-
text for shooting the boy was that he
had killed his dog. but the animal has
since returned home.
Dean, who is confined in jail here.
admits the shooting. but claims self
defense. Greenwalt had shot gun
with him. and it was found lying be-
side him still loaded, Dean is consid-
cred dangerous. and there are many
circumstances, It is claimed. that will
contradict his plea of self-defense. The
indications point to the boy having
been taken unawares and shot.

evening which was said by some to
have been the best effort of the series
of services. His text was Come unto

of the questions asked last night were
as follows:
Where do you place the emphasis
in religion, on knowing, feeling or
will?
What are a Christians, obligations
to the Sabbath School?
Where do you think Christian
meets the severest test?
How woul you prove the existence
of God to an inquirer?
What are the scriptural means OF
raising money for church or other
Christian uses?
Is 1t ever right to ask unconverted
though moral people to do any definite
Christian work?

The Legislature Now
Down To Work
Governors Message Consumes PP;eass First
Days Session

the result is that the outlook is bright
for at least an earnest effort to trans
act real business.
Politicians Coming Fast.
Charleston filed rapidly yesterday
with politicians from all points. Nine
tenths the members are present and
the disappearance of tactional feeling
become more apparent as the crowd
gathers. The upstate contingent ar
rived this evening. 1t included sena-
tors Montgomery. HazIett, Marshall.
White (of. Mingo), Santee, Form1l.
and Delegates Buchwald. Hearne and
Maxwell. George A. Laughlin, John
Wallace, Col. VIII Bodley, of Wheel
ing. and r. l.. Gregory, of Parkers-
burg, were also in the party.
Confidence exists among friends Of
the measure that the county salary
bin will be passed. They claim to have
enough votes, moreover, to send it
through both branches, SO sure are
they that the provision inserted in
the original bill making the abolition
Of the fee system optional with each
county will be omitted from the new
bill. This provision was first inserted
in the hope of gaining converts. and
1t is now said to be unnecessary.
Prohibition viii Cut a swath.
That prohibition amendment is 60
ing to cut big figure. A group Of
five senators discussed 1t last night,
and each expressed the opinion that
the legislature would submit the prop
osition to the people. So far not a
member has shown the courage to say
he would vote against it. They are be.
ing deluged with letters from constitu-
ents asking them to vote for it.
Mining Legislation will be the chief
cause of delay. The investigating
committe did not finish the taking
of testimony until last night, and then
adjourned two days to allow the
stenographers to catch up. 1t is prob.
able this body will make only par
tial report to the extra session. IherS
will be dozens of Independent meas
ures submitted, however. The miners
are one of the causes of the many
mentioned in the opening paragraph.
Every miner in the State is anxious
for drastic legislation, and are sure to
avenge disappointment at the polls.
Public Service Bill.
Every loophole in the call is to be
used for the introduction of bills
really not embodied in it. For in
stance, so.called mining bill will in
reality include the fellow-servants law
railroads have been vaInly contend
ing for. Mayor McGrew, of Monon-
gala county, believes he can intro.
duce a public service commission bill
like that of New York.
