OFFICIAL SURGEON FOR
 NEW HAVEN PRIZE FIGHTS

New Haven, July GA police sur geon, according to Chief Cow1es will be on hand at the next boxing bouts in this city, who will work in conjunc- tion with the police, and who will have full power to stop fight should either contestant prove to be physi- cally incapable of continuing without serious injury to himself c
 The idea of having a physician at such bouts, which was suggested some days ago by The Union, has found favor with the chief, who has enter tained the proposition for some time He said: "A law which Is now before the State LegislatureA provides for such a surgeon being stationed at idea A police officer does not claim to know a great deal about the ordi- nary prize-fighter's physical condition, no more than anybody else outside of a physician, and I believe that such plan is the best way of dis posing of the question. Whether the law passes or not believe that shall have the police surgeon on hand at the next bouts to take care of this phase of the situation: We have, you know. already provided that before a fighter enters the ring, he shall be examined by pr. Spier our police sur- geon. This does away with a great deal of the danger of physically in- capable men enterting a bout to be pummelled and hammered around the ring by his physical superior So in police surgeon be stationed at the ringside, so that when one of the fighters shows signs of endangering himself because of his condition. the bout may be stopped in time by the police officers in attendance"

I6O Oxen Draw
 Ex- Gov. vardaman
Candidate For United States Senator Escorted Home by
 a Novel Cavalcade

Meridian, Miss. July 6-Ex-Gov. James K. vardaman has been stump ing the State in the interests of his candidacy for the United States Sem ate, and has developed more bitter ness and rancor than any previous political contest in the history of the State.
 When the former Governor arrived here he was met by crowd of at least 10000 persons, contributed by the city and countryside. For the candidate there was a chariot of State. an OK cart drawn by eighty span, 160 beasts and upon the back of each sat man, carrying a banner, ''vote for the white chief and save the white South"
 The OK cart carried MT. vardaman to his home. A torch bearer walked beside each OK A hundred citizens on horseback preceded the vehicle and served as bodyguard. Five brass bands furnished the music.
 The candidate sat upon a stand built in the cart. He was dressed in white and was the most conspicuous figure in the procession.

Ballot Battle
 In New Haven So-Called Socialist Wing of Trades Council Out For DOnahue's and Other
 Scalps

New Haven, July 6-That there will be a hot battle tonight between the alleged Socialistic and anti-Socialistic clements at the semi-annual meeting of the New Haven trades council for supremacy, was evident from the stir among the union labor men at Union hall last night.
 From information gathered it ap- pears that the Socialist forces of the council have determined to place in nomination Patrick OMeara, the sec retary of the Plumbers Union, as a candidate for the presidency of the trades council. The support for MT. OMeara, it is said, comes very large ly from the Cigar Makers Union and it is also said that the cigar makers will supply the names for the rest of the ticket from members of the Social ist party.
 It is declared that this endeavor to introduce Socialist officers into the local trades council is animated by men from Hartford and Danbury, who are dissatisfied with the way that President Charles J. Donahue and the local members of the trades council have been handling legislative mat ters at Hartford during the present session.
 The. executive board of the trades council at present includes W. F. Cos tello as president. Joseph J. Reilly as secretary, and Edward Webber as financial secretary. The Carpenters Union and numerous, of the other inn portant unions making up the mem bership of the council, will support these officials.
 A Socialist member of the council said last night that while the fight tonight might not develop as strongly as is looked for, it would be found that the aggressive wing" of the par ty was out after Costello's scalp, and that they would endeavor to beat him out if possible.

COSIER RETIRED
 ON DOUBLE PAY

To be retired on double pay is the unique experience that has befallen Henry Cosier who has been for 16 years a call man in the Bridgeport Fire department AS MT. Cosier is now an invalid, the double pay will come in handy.
 He was retired by the board of Fire Commissioners last night. He is suf- fering from locomotor ataxia and oth- CT ailments that incapacitate him. As call man he received $500 yearly from the city; on pension he will re- ceive $500 per annum.
 Fire Chief Edward Mooney last night asked the commissioners to in- stitute a school of t'f1rst aid" instruc- tion for the f1remen. The apparatus now carries first aid kits, but there is knach in applying the bandages. etc. pr. George Osborn department surgeon, will instruct the men.
 The board voted to 'let up' on the department regulation requiring men to wear buttoned coats when going to and coming from meals The rule will be suspended during the hot months of July and August.

Savings BANKS

Extended to Four principal
Cities


Washington, Aug. Postal savings
repositories. were today opened for
business in the main post offices in
four of the principal cities of the coun-
try, New York, Chicago, Boston, and
st. Louis. More than a thousand pos
tai savings banks are now in success
full operation in the smaller cities Of
the country, but this is the first at
tempt to extend the system to larger
cities.
The four cities were named because
of their great population and CONNER
cial prominence, and because in each
one is located a United States sub
treasury, which will facilitate the
heavy banking business that is likely
to result from the inauguration of DOS
tai banks.
In the smaller cities the greatest
patronage has come from foreigners.

other financial institutions. Now that
Uncle Sam stands back of their de-
posits, much of the money heretofore
sent abroad is expected to remain in
this country.
The foreign-born population of New
York is over 100000, of Chicago 700,-

languages and spread broadcast
throughout the four cities.
As soon as the banks are in sue
cessful operation in the four cities
named. Postmaster General Hitchcock
will extend the system to the other
cities of the first class throughout the
country, including New Orleans, Sar

Even at the present moment no two
of the influential dictionaries are in
agreement as to the proper spelling
of several thousand words. Who shall
decide when dictionaries disagree?
There is not, and there cannot be,
any final standard of English orthog-
raphy to which we can all appeal.
We may regret this as mucn as we
please, but we cannot alter the fact.
The spelling O. our language Is not
fixed; it never has been; and it never
will be. 1t has always been changing
slowly, and it will continue to change
until that far distant day when Eng
fish shall cease to be a living tongue.
Our spelling will be simplified
more or less in the future-that is
certain, for it has been simplified
more or less in the past; and the
same force is at work now, as resist
less as an avalanche. We can help
this along; We can hinder It little;
or we can do nothing at all, looking
on while the battle RACES.
Whenever we happen to note any
simpler spellings. we may resolve to
use them the next time in writing, II
we happen to recall them then; and
we shall recall a few of them from
time to time. No one who has ever
seen tho and altho and thoro thus
printed are likely to forget those sim
pier forms; and there is little diff
Guilty in learning to use them, instead
of the cumbrous though and although
