NEW WORDS IN ENGLISH.

The English language was not
created in a day and given to
the world in a finished state. No
other language is, for that matter,
but the English, possibly more than
any other language, is still grow
ing, and it grows through the use
of what is called slang, quite as
readily as by any other process.
New industries and inventions nat
urally add words to the language
The automobile business has beer
responsible for many of them. Avi-
alton is to add, and is adding, lis
thousands. Every ney line of hu-
man endeavor enlarges the vocabr-
larry. But greater ever than these
accreations to the language is that
which comes from what we call
slang.

Wife Slayer Is Denied New Trial---Hopes of
Virginian Is Shattered by the Court of
Appeals; to Appeal to Governor.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 14.-The
supreme court of appeals yesterday
denied the petition for writ of
error by Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.,
convicted of numbering his young
wife last July.
The decision on the appeal from
the Judgment of the Chesterfield
court, which sentenced him to die
in the electric chair November "a,
is final. Clemency or reprieve by
Governor Mann only can save the
condemned man.
Beattie's last hope of judicial in
reference was dashed when the SUI
preme court announced that 'the
trial was plainly correct in its rul-
ing and the appeal is therefore de-

now slowly recovering and is prac-
tically out of danger, but for time
she was in the shadow of death and
only prompt and skillful action on
the part of physicians attending
her saved her life. The girl, even
when lurking on the border, refused
to divulge the name of the man
who betrayed her and also refused
to make known the name of the
physician who performed the oper,
alton.
About two weeks ago District
Attorney Woodburn was called by a
local physician to go to a Reno
hospital and see the girl in ques-
ton. The district attorney was in
formed that the girl might die
and tried in every way to get a
statement. The district attorney
talked with the girl and tried to
get her to give him the name OF
the physician who had performed
the criminal operation upon her, but
she refused to talk even when told
that she was about to die She

triumphal entry into the capital

residence
Yuan looked hale and hearty, his
appearance belying the recent re-
ports of his physical condition,
which had been made an excuse
fer his delay in obeying the i'm
perial command to come to Pekin
and assume the responsibility of
premier in succession to Prince
Ching, which appointment was pro-
mulgated in an imperial edict OF
