ORIGIN Of @Hurrah,-

The familiar exclamation, @Hur-
rah!" is probably a corruption Of
Cur ale" CThoraid), a battlecry OF
the ancient Sorsemen. Some PHI
lologists, however, contend that the
word is derived from the Slavonic
EHurai," meaning ITO paradise. "
In India and Ceylon the mahouts
and attendants of baggage ele-
plants cheer them on by perpet-
ually CRYING, Tr-re-reI' The Arabs
and camel drivers in Turkey, Pal
estine and Egypt encourage their
animals to speed by shouting:
"Ar-re! Ar-rew The Moors in
Spain drive their mules with repe-
titions of "Arre" In France the
sportsman excites the hounds by
his shouts of Hare! Hare" while
the herdsmen of Ireland and Scot
land use "Hurrish! Hurrish~ to
urge on the cattle they are driving.

HUMANE SOCIETY
TO THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL.

Having received my commission as
an officer of the Humane Society OF
the State of West Virginia, | thought
it in the interest of persons who may
have been violating the laws of said
Society to write and publish this ar
ticle.
The object of the Humane Society
is the prevention of cruelty to hui
mainly and dumb bruteS. The fail
ure to provide for ones family when
it is in his power to do so, or the
cruel and inhuman treatment of
ones family, or the failure to feed
teams when worked, either horses or
cattle or the working of either when
unable to work, and the overlooking
of teams, are the main duties to be
looked after by the officers of said
society.
As an officer of said society | shall
diligently look after any and all vio-
lationS, and shall arrest and bring to
ju ;tice any persons who violate any
of the laws of said Society. 1t is
not my desire to cause any one hu-
initiation and trouble and ! shall not
unless persons violate these laws.
would suggest to all persons
having horses or cattle too poor to
be worked, not to attempt to work
the same in that condition, or if
their NEcKs or BACKS ore sore not to
do so.
ask no person to make any COM
plant unjustly or for the purpose of
causing their fellow-man trouble on
the account of i'll will, but do ask
all persons to promptly report all vi
olations of said laws to me with the
names and witnesses, the date and
the circumstances in connection with
the violation.
have received inquiries as to how
much a person should load a team
with. In answer to that, it depends
upon the size and condition of the
team and the condition of the roads.
Every person knows when load is
pulling his team too hard and if it
does he is violating the laws of the
Humane Society. The Legislature
of the State has passed these laws
and all persons must line up to them.
Respectfully submitted.

Mora Than She Could Boar.

Marion was a little American girl
Of SIX years. For three months her
-aother and aunt had dragged her
trough the museums and art gal
cries of Europe.
She was made to look at the slip

prayer book of Catherine Ge' Medi-
81. hats of Napoleon and endless
numbers of uninteresting Nadon-
mas. These. her mother told her
constantly. she must remember, for
when she grew up she would realize
nov famous they were.
At last Marion rehc!led. She re-
fused to 20 to a world famed uu,-

The new form OF the Greater Boston
central organization for the Brother
hood Carpenters unions and the ANAL
Gamated society branches has been
accepted By the referendum vote OF
all. The old joint council dIsSolves.
The brotherhood unions and amalSa-
mated society branches will each form
delegate councils Of their own for the
transaction OF such matters and bust
ness as affect their own locals and
international. Each council will elect
delegates to joint working executive
board Of the two. and the joint board
will act us the directing body on all
trade rules. wage and working agree
ments. headquarters and all such mat
tiers as are common to both organize
tons. The smaller working body will
be much more effective. It IS believed
by all. The brotherhood will have seven
delegates and the amalgamated five
delegates to the joint board.

CHARITABLE PURPOSES
SUGGESTIONS WORTHY THE CONSEDERl-
TON OF AMERICAN MOTHERS.

While certainly no one shall cavil
at that which is done for charitable
purposes nor complain because the
demand of charity may some times
prove inconvenient, there is certainly
a question whether or not those who
seek to acquire funds for charitable
purposes, do not exceed the bonds of
propriety. There is at present a
wave of enthusiasm for Fairgrounds
in the larger cities and it is doubtful
if young people of leisure could de-
vote their energies to more worthy
purpose, but is not the effect upon
young girls, who approach strange
men and seek by methods wholly
proper, perhaps, among their friends,
to secure donations, worthy of con-
sideration? Are the few dollars
which young girls collect by these
means worth the holiness which
such methods engender? Is the
chance acquaintance thus made with
an utter stranger in a business Office
or a railway station not likely or at
least possible to develop into firta-
ton which may entail everlasting
sorrow: Is the loss of modesty which
must come to young women who do
not fancy dancing on public stages,
in abbreviated costumes, before paid
audiences, not too heavy a price to
pay for the benefits which may accrue
to some philanthropic institution. 1t
is not perhaps within the province OF
an editor to judge of these things,
but are not these suggestions worthy
of the serious consideration of every
American mother?

The report OF the investigation OF the
commercial telegraph companies by
the department OF commerce and labor
has been made public. The report
shows that the average wages paid
telegraphers are less than they were
twenty-five years ago, while during
that period the cost OF living hns mate
rally increased. The report shows
that the wage increase granted by both
big companies IN 1907 has been prac-
dcally withdrawn by both.

STREET CAR STRIKES.

President Parsons Of the Rapid Tran
sit company OF Philadelphia.
That is only another way OF stating
that strikes are expensive and very
rarely worth the while for street car
companies" continued Mr.. Pratt. The
fact is that no strike. unless It is won
By the company In short. decisive
and fnnI battle. ever does nay a tran
sit company. In st. Louis, Chicago.
Cleveland. Salt Lake City and several
other towns Of Importance have seen
transit Inanagements go down In de-
feat through strikes. Even though the
victory has not been all on our side.
the strikers have BOWED out the for
mer arrangements completely. These
arrangements have been changed Ell
Their because they we're quickly de-
feated and proved Incompetent by the
strikers or else the fight has been SO
long drawn and bitter that when the
settlement finally came and the costs
were totaled up they were swept out
by stockholders indignation wave.
'In Cleveland in 1899 Henry Everett
was president Of the company and
signed up General Manager Douglas
FOR three years to night the union with
him. Mr.. Douglas had contract
which called for bonus in case he
broke up the union and ended the
strike. Our strike lasted eleven
months. In January. while It was still
In progress. President Everett retired.
General Manager Douglas was forced
out and In their places were elected
President Horace Andrews and Cen
eral Manager Ira Mccormick. who is
now with the New York Transit com
pany We reached settlement with
President Mccormick Tae manage
ment that fought US went down.
Again In st. Louis In 1900 we had a
strike. an unsatisfactory settlement
and second strike" continued Mr..
Pratt. in the end we won no eonces-
siOns. but the fight had been 80 cx-
penSIve to the company that the stock
holders compelled change in the
management.
President Hamilton and General
Manager McCulloch went from st.

5000 men. After thirteen days strik-

Il have always claimed that no
strike was ever really lost" concluded
Mr.. Pratt. Even when strikers go
down In so called defeat they have won
the prestige OF their dGbt. and their
complaints will not soon again be iG-
nored. But all strikes certainly are a
loss TO transit companies. and only n

TARIFFS AND PAbuCS
THE WILSON TARIFF OF 1894. HADNGT
ONE FRIEND IN OR OUT OF CON-
CRESS.

The then president of the United
States denounced it for party perfdy
and party dishoner but allowing it to
become law without his approval
for the free lumber it carried. Mr..
Wilson himself was sorely vexed be-
cause of the 600 Senate amendments
that he was forced to accept to get
any bill at all. Mills and Vest pour
ed out upon it the yials of their
wrath because Quay dictated the me-
tai schedule, both of which Dingley,
with slight variations, incorporated
in the act of 1897, the present tariff.
Solid Republican minorities in
both houses of the fifty-third Con-
greSs laid at the door of the Wilson
tariff of 1894 the panic of 1898,
Most of the Democrats charged the
panic to the sold-bug policy of Gro
yer Cleveland, and those who were
then known as cuckoos held that the
panic was child of the Sherman sill
yer law that practically put the
Treasury on the silver basis, and but
for the purchase of gold with bonds
it would have been literally on that
basis ere the administration fulfilled
its first year.
In view of the foregoing, the fol-
lowing from Senator Nelson, Re-
publican from Minnesota, is interest
ing:
All the stagnation from 1894 to
1897 was not owing to the Wilson
tariff law. | would as soon think of
charging the Dingley tariff with the
panic of 1899 as the Wilson BILL
And this from Jonathan P. Doll
liver, Republican Senator from
Iowa, is exceedingly significant:
1t is a wise man who can tell
what caused the panic of 1898. We
have been prone to turn it too free
ly into an argument against the
Democratic party. 1t is hard to put
the blame for panic in 1898, upon
a bill passed in 1891. If were call
ed upon to say that free wool in the
Wilson bill closed the mills, should
hesitate to do it now in the light of
what | have learned. One thousand
things entered into it. He is a wise
man who can safely attribute to one
thing result of worldwide signifi-
canoe. If called upon now to repeat
some of the speeches of my enthuias-
tic youth, would blue pencil some
of the lines in them
Truth is sometimes the product of

BY MYRTLE MILES.

Among the interesting newcomers is Mrs. Margaret Hunt-Ruff, who came this month from Columbus. O., to make Bir- mingham her home. She is don1iciled in the residence formerly occupied by MT. and Mrs Adolf Damn Petersen on Ave- nue l.
 Mrs Ruff is a reader and teacher of dra- matic expression and physical culture, and so charming an exponent of her art will undoubtedly receive cordial well come among the artistic cult in our city. Hers is a most interesting personality Petite and graceful of figure. her vivaci- ty gives to a mignonne face a play of emotions that bespea1 one who is versed in the art of expression. Her charming manner and impressive appearance have won for her already a number of friends though she has been in this city such short while.
 Mrs Ruff has not only taught with distinct success in the principal cities of her native state, but her histrionic talent has received professional recognition. Last year she travelled with a concert company in Ohio, meeting with signal - favor. It was a local company, visiting only the leading towns of that state, and Mrs Ruffs reading. around which much of the interest of the occasion centefed, was received with great appreciation by her audiences. She interprets the thoughts of the worlds greatest poets and dra- matists, her repertoire embracing a va riety extending from Shakespeare to the ever-popular Mark Twain. She is espe cially partial to the English bard, how ever, and is never quite so happy as when presenting selections from his great plays.
 'I give however" said Mrs. Ruff the other evening, "a number of Rileys poems and those of Eugene Field, l find a great demand for them in children's tertainments and for class work I find them excellent The modern play is also much used for interpretative work. I really find it the most popular programme that reader cGn produce"
 "A dramatic reader must. of course, consider her audience" I remarked, be fore deciding upon a programme. The thing that might appeal in one locality would be a rank failure in another"
 ''Yes," she answered, flor that reason try to give a varied programme un- less it chance that I am Interpreting for a club, when the members are all intent upon one study. To give some thing to meet the demands Of my audi ence, every single one of them, is my aim. good laugh saves the day many time in my work, as 1t does indeed, all through life"
 The south is a new field to Mrs. Ruff and to hear her express her honest de- light in everything southern-our climate, our mountains, our southern roses, and above all, our southern people, will quick 1y win for her place in southern hearts. She said a few days ago: "rhe voice of sn educated southern woman, with it's rich, low, quiet tones, is to me music. It Is so distinctly different from the rather k.f hot ffn aF north Such q tribute bespeaks 8 warm heart and generous nature, and there will be room and welcome among us for Mar sgaret Hunt-Ruff
