a CURIOUS WORD.
Twists That May Be Given to "Ba" In
the Chinese Language.


In the Chinese language the same
word may be given several different
meanings by the modulation of the
voice The same thing may happen to
the English yes" which may be pro-
nounced so us to mean 81 assent to
that" or Il am doubtful" or 'IndeedY'
An eminent authority on philol0gy
gives an amusing illustration of these
modulations in the AnnamitiC Ian
guage, a monosyllabic tongue spoken
by the people of Tonquin and Cochin
China.
In tlIis language the syllable 'ba"
pronounced with grave accent means
q lady, an ancestor. Pronounced with
the sharp accent, it means the favorite
of prince. Pronounced with the semi
grave accent, it means what has been
thrown away Pronounced with the
grave circum1eX, it means what has
been left of a fruit after the juice has
been squeezed out. Pronounced with
no accent it means three. Pronounced
with the ascending or Interrogation ac-
cent, 1t means a box on the ears.
Thus the word ''ba" in the order Civ
en- above, is said to mean, if properly
pronounced, Three ladies gave a box
on the ear to the fayorite of the
prince '--Chicago Record-ucrald.

CRANDELL.


Miss ELSIE MAE CRANDEIL, aged
seven years, youngest child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. E. Crandell, after being in
poor health for several months passed
away Tuesday morning, being con-
scious almost to the last. About three
weeks ago she was taken with Ia grippe
and her weakened condition not being
sufficientto Withstand the ordeal, her
little heart failed. All that faithful
nursing and the watchful attention of
both Drs. Falk and Bush were without
avail. ELSIE was a very affectionate
child, the pride of the home and dear
ly loved by the afflicted family, who
have our deepest sympathy in their
great affiiction. The dear child only a
short time before its death requested
that one of its beautiful carnations be
given to DR.. Falk, who had remained
with her all night, battling against the
fatal disease, but God had called the
loved one.
The funeral will be held from the
family residence, West Fifth street,
Saturday afternoon, at two O'Clock,
the seventh anniversary of her birth,
the services to be in charge of Rev.
Bogue, pastor of the First Baptist
Church.

to Manage the Grand.

TO manage the Grand.
Much to the surprise and elation of
his many friends, @. L. Gilbert, Jr.,
formerly manager of the Grand opera
house here, who recently went to Sag
inaw, Mich, to manage the Majestic
theatre, returned to the city last night
to resume the active management of
the Grand here, John T. Carpenter
going to Port Huron, Mich, to look
after the Majectic theater at that place.
Mr.. Carpenters departure for Port
Huron made it necessary that Mr.. Gill
bert come back, as he is thoroughly
familiar with the management of the
local house. w. G. Gilbert, brother
of Lafayette's popular manager, ar
ranged it SO the latter could come back
to Lafayette W. G. Gilbert is now in
charge of the Saginaw house. Mr..
Carpenter, who has numerous friends
here, will not return to Lafayette to
stay, but may drop in the city for a
short time later to inspect the plans
and specifications of the new house,
which will be turned over to the
Grand opera house management next
week. The return of Mr.. Gilbert was
hailed with joy by his friends. Mr..
Gilbert says he is glad to be back
among Lafayette folks again. Mr.. Gill
bert is enthusiastic over the idea of
the Grand being reconstructed, and
says the house will rank with the finest
theatres in the state when completed.
Lafayette, Ind Courier, March 3Oth.
The Gilbert brothers, who are resi-
dents of Emporium are rapidly forging
to the front as theatrical managers ae
we'll as extensive silver mine owners.
