Dictionary of Navajo Language.

Within the past few days there has been completed in northern Arizona a work of great value to all students or language and Indian lore. Rev. Faith CT Anslem Weber. O. F.

Father Weber states that the Navaios have very beautiful and expressive language. which lends itself to bril- liant oratory. It is controlled by q grammar much more regular than that of the English language The work of preparing the manuscript for the dictionary was done at St Mi chaels in Apache county, where the Franciscans maintain a large mon astery and one of the most import ant Indian schools in the country. There is a pile of manuscript for this work several feet high, and there are thousands of words in the lan- guage which have been which have been translated into English. with complete definitions.

Francia took this pie ture seriously, and for many years pa raded the streets of Asuncion clad in a gray dressing gown and a cooked hat. which he fondly believed to be the habitual garb of the French despot.
 Castro's most distinguished predeces- sor was also a Napoleon devotee, but Bolivar had seen his idol and could thus initiate him more faithfully. He managed to acquire the emperor's brusque speech and other mannerisms. pulled peoples ears when in a good humor and dictated dispatches to sev- eral secretaries at once. He founded an order closely modelled on the Legion of Honor. surrounded himself with a guard of negroes from Heiti, after the style of Napoleon's Mamelukes, and endeavored to codify the laws of his country.

The new school board of the Conway district was organized Saturday night by the reelection of Jo Frauenthal as president and $. F.. Anderson as secretary. A.. J. Witt, who was re elected a mem Der of the board, was unable to be present on account of illness and was the only member absent from the meeting.

Miss Beulah Denison, daughter of Rev. J. M. Denison of this city, was elected to fill the vacancy. Miss Denison is a graduate of Cen tral College and has taught for the past year Tn the Batesville public school.

Little Rock, May 3I.-Yester- day being their first opport unity to come back at Rev. Cunningham of the Universalist church, who last Sunday lectured to a large audience in the Majestic theater in favor of Sunday baseball and kin dred amusements, the pastors took full advantage of the opportunity.
 Rev. Charles R. Hyde delivered a caustic sermon on The Sab bath and Work and Amusements, :" dealing with the proposition some what as personal matter in his evening sermon. Rev. w. NJ. Hunter of the Associate Reform Presbyterian church, worked in double header on Rev. Cunning ham, with morning sermon on "Lovers of Pleasure More than Lovers of Cod" He followed it up in his evening discourse with Sunday Amusements. Rev. Ben Cox of the First Baptist church spoke at night on the Sunday Question" Rev O. J. Wade of the Immanuel Baptist church car ried it closer home by speaking at night on, Authority in Christian Religion vs. the Fruits of Universal ism. " Sunday Amusement" was the subject chosen by Rev. c. w. Shepherd of the Scott street Meth odist church.
 There would probably have been more sermons delivered on the sub ject, but for the fact that at least five of the leading ministers of the city were away yesterday delivering sermons at colleges and schools about the state.

ready enough to discuss the port rate pc
titions, and answer all questions, with
slight reservations in certain instances.
Eyes, yes, / know the governor favored
port rates. but the case we've just decid-

McLendon, when asked If Governor Smith

The chairman was asked concerning his
contributions to the press during the cam

since that tine. He suggested that these
, utterances be published in parallel col
umns with his recent decision on port
rates.
Mr.. McLendon's moving picture OF a
number of freight trains between Mem
phis and Savannah, yia Atlanta. Macon
and Sandersville was asked about. In
this picture, he Illuminated the port rate

But conditions have changed" volun-
teered the chairman. and he was about
to proceed, when he was asked what had
happened to change conditions.
.'One thing that has happened was the
Atlanta convention" he answered with
emphasis. referring to the nomination OF
Governor-elect Joseph M Brown.
The reference to the Atlanta convention
recalled the Macon convention. which de-
clared for port rates and which also NOM

question.
