MChoir." i"

Churchgoers who follow the service in their prayer books would certainly miss the "d,ar old phrase" concerning "quires and places where they sing" and in time the old fashioned 'quires" may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling. "Choir" was a most unnecessary out: rage upon the language. The old Eng. fish 'quer" or "quere" became quite naturally "quyer' or "quire," and so 1t remained until the end of the seven teenth century. when somebody seems to have introduced "choir" bcause it looked more like the French ''choeur." as if that were valid reason. There could have been no danger of confus- ing church "quire" and "quire" of paper, which is different word. the French "cahier," probably from Latin "quaternarium." collection of four leaves.-London Standard.

Strjkinu a Comet,

If we ask the effect of a comets striking the earth we will readily see that if the head of the comet were com posed of powders collision would have disastrous consequences. A rain of millions of great meteoric stones would, of course, bring catastrophe. If, however. it were merely rain of small particles or dust we might never become conscious of it. for the parti- cles would never reach us. They would be fused into gas through friction with our atmosphere many miles before reaching the surface. If the gases lib- erated by friction were in excessive volume we might suffer discomfort or even disaster. It is estimated that hundreds of millions of meteoric parti- cles strike our atmosphere every day. This would be serious matter if we were not protected by our great shel- tering envelope of air. Occasionally 9 meteoric powder is large enough to resist the heat generated by this fric. ton .,nd reaches the surface. This we call i aleteorife The TOW established con:} ion between comets and me. teor.. is a matter of great interest," Ralh' E. Larkin in North American Review.

Cockadss and Ruttona.

The cockade originated simply in tha knot Of ribbons or strings by which the broad flaps of the seventeenth cen. tury round hat were "cocked'' or orawn up to the brm in fine weather and thus originated the three eornered hat as well as the cooked hat of later times. There was nothing specially military about the usage, as the i2. norant assert. The same strings sur. vive in the loops of the hats of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignitares iu Great Britain, in the strings of the hats worn by French cures and Span- ish and Italian padres and in the cords which are still seen on the hats of some livery servants.
 It naturally became the custom for military men to ''cock' their hats with the livery color of the prince they served. and as the Hanoverian color was the convenient one of black the "black cockade" became associated in the minds of the people with military uniform. 1n. an old Scotch song of shirramuir, Aang "woodword's Her. aldry." we kt of ''the red coat lads with black cockades." and a knot of white ribbons was naturally chosen as the badge of their opponents.

New York, May 12.-At the dinner
given tonight by the employees of the
New York navy yard, in connection
with the launching today of the mon
ster battleship Florida, Governor AL
bert w. Gilchrist of Florida spoke as
follows:
Mr.. Toastmaster, Ladies and Fellow
Citizens:
Il am TO make a speech on the great
state of Florida. The greatest part
of this great state now is the great
battleship Florida. The battleship
Florida is the greatest ship ever
launched from the governmental navy
yard, and we Floridians think the
greatest battleship ever launched by
any nation in the world. The success
full launching. the character of the
work, the cost, and the time consumed
proves conclusively the error in the
statement that the government could
not do work as successfully as private
contractors. You gentlemen connect
ed with the building and launching OF
this great ship fully realize the labors
incident thereto. None of you realize
that the -labors' of a governor incident
to the launching of the battleshil
Florida are far greater than the labor
incident to the launching of the shiI
of state of Florida. The affairs of the
ship of state Of Florida rest just or
good common sense. The state OF

Washington, May 12.-The sur
prise of today in the BaIlinger-P1n-
chot inquiry was the reading by Sec
retary Ballinger of a letter addressed
by Attorney General Wickersham to
Chairman Parker of house commit
tee in which he made the admission
that he antedated the summary OF
the CLAWS charges, which he prpear-
ed for the president. Mr.. Wicker
sham says he had discussed the mat
ter with the president and had sup
piled him with a mass of information
bearing on the subject.
Coincident with making public OF
the letter, reply was received from
Oscar Lawler, assistant to Wicker
sham, who is also concerned in the
preparation of the letter of Septem-
ber IS, 1909, eXonerating Ballinger
and dismissing CLAWS, stating that
he kept no copy of it or memoran-
dunn. Lawler says he prepared the
resume at the request of the presi-
dent.
PRESIDENT FIRED CLAWS.
1t was on Mr.. Wickersham's sum-
mary that the president was suppos-
ed to have based his letter exonerat-
ing Secretary Ballinser and dismiss
ing CLAWS.
The letter to Chairman Parker was
dated May 10. The committee has
before it the Harrison resolution,
calling upon the attorney general for
all information bearing on the sum
mary. Mr.. Wickersham wrote as fol
lows:
This summary necessarily was
made up afterwards and properly
bore the date upon which the matter
it contained was considered by the
president. There is no mystery
about this matter and nothing which
may not be freely stated, but due re
gard for the constitutional authority
of the executive forbids that the &C
ton of the president and his advisers
shall be called into question by the
coordinate branch of the govern
ment in this manner"
Secretary Ballinger read the letter
from the stand during the Ballinger
Pinchot investigation this afternoon
just after Attorney Brandeis, coun
sci for Louis R. CLAWS, had protest
ed that the attorney general had moi
furnished all of the documents caller
for.

In an address to the convention OF
the Alabama Cotton Seed Crushers
Association yesterday morning, Sec
retary Waterman of the Chamber OF
Commerce said:
Il deeply appreciate this oportuni-
ty of telling you gentlemen how you
can cooperate with Pensacola in
two matters of great Importance in
the cause Of general southern de.
velopment.
First, as secretary, and member
Of the Southern Commercial Secre-
taries Association. If you have no
commercial body in your home city,
get busy and organize one as soon
as you go home. The pleasure you
gentlemen have expressed over such
courtesieS as We have been able to
extend you, is proof Of the value of
only one function of the commercial
organization. If you have a CONNER
cial organization in your city, and il
you don't belong to it, join it. or
them, at once.
IF you have organizations, and be-
long to them, see to it that your sec
retaries at once join the Southern
Commercial Secretaries Association.
My attendance at the last annual con-
vention made me at least twice as
efficient as l was before 1 went to
the convention. Make your secretary
join at once by sending $40 to M. B.
Trezevant, care Progressive Union,
NewOrleans, and see that the new
member goes to the New Orleans
convention on the 27th and 2Sth OF
this month. AS a member of the as
sociation, he can leave New Orleans
on the evening of May 81 and for the
oil |cf of fhn
and the republics of Panama, Guate-
mala, British Honduras and Spanish
Honduras.
THE itinerary was to have includ-
| ed five+iay land visit to Costa Riea,
| but the towns of that little nation are
| in ruins from earthquakes. II your
secretary is member Of the South
| ern Commercial Secretaries Associa-
| ton, the special rate is open to you
as a member of the home body rep
resented in the Secretaries Associa
| ton. The association has as mem
| bers only a fraction of the Southern
| commercial secretaries, yet it created
! the Southern Commercial Congress
on the suggestion Of Grosvenor Dave,
| whom l do not hesitate to declare
| the best and the greatest OF the
| Southern secretaries. ] believe he is
doing more, by. his patriotism, his
zeal and his brains, than any other
one man for the general uplift of the
| South.

most of them. To an old bachelor
one of the hardest questions to
answer was: What should a woman
wear?" l felt like replying in the
language of a married gentleman who
in presenting the present at a card
party, kimono said it was the most
becoming garment a woman could
wear, save one.
1t is best for the best and one Of
the largest battleships of the best and
one of the largest nations on earth to
bear the name of the best and one of
the largest states-Florida. Few peo-
pie realize that our $3.50 square
miles is second to but one in area of
all the states east of the Mississippi.
On the day of which this is the ami
versary, 81 years ago, fernando De-
Soto set sail for the western coast of
Florida, finally discovering the Missis-
sippi river, the great Father of Wa
ters. This was a most formidable ex-
pedition, consisting of nine vessels
and $40 men. Formidable as it was
in those days, the entire fleet would
be to this one battleship which these
workmen are building, as the dug-out
canoes of our Florida Indians was to
this fleet.
NO NATION WOULD DARE.
The power and strength of our
great nation and the courage and
loyalty of our men and women to the
flag, has been so thoroughly estab-
lished that there is no nation or COM
bination of nations on earth who
would dare to invade our borders.
There may be some who, if we were
unprepared, might be foolhardy
enough to try conclusions with US on
the waters. On, all occasions. even
when our navy was so small as to be
insignificant in its armament and the
number of its ships, the navy has ever
upheld the honor and glory of our
flag. Such results could not have
been accomplished but for the men
like yourselves who built our vessels
strong and true and but for the Off
GERS and for the men behind the guns

that Mrs. Hyde lied on the witness

The attorney spoke several times
of the awfulness of taking the doctor
from his wifes side to choke him

The whole case. he said, was based
upon suspicious, rumors and conjec-

Attention was called to the fact
that neither DR.. nor Mrs. Hyde swora
