IN d. A N A


Coroner Alfred of Danville filed his
report yesterday afternoon on the death
of w. A. McCaslin, at Brownsburg, in
which he says that McCaslin came to
his death from an internal hemorrha ge
resulting from a wound from a 32-cali-
Der bullet fred from a revolver in the
hands of Charles Miller.
Coroner Alfred failed to find that Nc
Castlin had revolver or any weapon
at the time he was killed, though Mil :
Ter insists that McCaslin had drawn
revolver in his hand and was in the
act of shooting when he fired first. Mrs.
Miller refused to talk to the coroner,
saying she was instructed by her at
torney not to talk.

The Evening Chit-Chat


The correctness with which a man
pronounces" an old college professor
used to tell all his classes, lis the
hall mark of his culture and educa-
ton"
How do you think you would stand
according to that criterion?
1t seems to me that very few people
would be 100 point folks by that test.
Perhaps you think my recarks are
unduly sweeping and unnecessarily
harsh. Perhaps you think that you
for instance. do not very often make a
mistake in pronunciation.
Now before you pat yourself on the
back. my friend. let me ask you how
you pronounce a few words like ad-
dress. inquiry. alias. interesting. aspir-
ant. grievous, harass, illustrate, prece-
dence. resource.
Look up your pronunciation of
these words in the dictionary and If
you have them all right I humb1y beg
your pardon. But I'll wager 1 won't
have to-
OF course. the common words which
could hardly be pronounced in more
than one way most of us get right.
Only children and distinctly ignorant
people make errors in these But
there are many words which are com
monty pronounced two or three ways
and yet which should properly pc pro-
nouneed only one way. When a man
pronounces all these words properly
he has certainly earned his window in
the Hall of Culture.
But how few people do.
OF course 1t would be almost impos-
Sible to sit down and corral these

words all at once and learn to pro-
nounce them Alright = -
But one can make an efrort9to no.
tice different pronunciations in the
course of conversation and then hunt
out the right one and make it ones
own.
That's the hardest way, but like
most hardest ways, it's the only sure
one.
1t isn't safe to adopt pronuncia-
ton because you hear someone you
think is well educated using IT. Many
people who ought to know better cling
firmly to faulty pronunciations.
Nor is 1t safe to adopt a pronuncsa-
ton because 1t sounds high brow"
You are very apt to get caught this
way. For instance. think Enquiry"
sounds most lege-professory," but
as matter of fact Inquiry" has the
weight or authority. And again,
precedence" certainly sounds pune
tilliousiy correct. but 'preced-ence"
really is the right pronunciation.
If you care to hunt down some OF
these words / think you will find the
chase rather interesting
or course there's the drawback that
even IL you do learn to pronounce
correctly ninety-nine hundredths OF
the people who hear you won't know
you are doing so.
But cheer up. Think how the other
one hundredth will appreciate such a
rarity.
Besides. you know. knowledge as
we'll as virtue. is. or surely ought to
be. its own reward

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The slight volume OF trading at today s
meeting of the stock exchange CORE
sponded with the almost entire lack OF
any feature about the market. 1t was
apparent, however. there was more gas
stock for sale than there was demand
for. although the bid and the asking
price remained only an eighth of a point
apart.
What was done in this security was at
the former level at the close, with the
asking bid at Sc. After call sales were
made at &c.
better figure was bid for Lanston
stock than Saturday. The advance, how
ever, was not large. The bid was 96&
and the asking price a point In advance.
The bid for ten shares was 90. at which
level ten shares sold on Saturday.
The traction stocks and bonds we're
neglected, as has been the case for some
time but the prices continued on about
the level where they have been for some
months, except, of course, the current
of the dividend period, which in the case
of the Washington railway stocks, ends
at the close of the present month.
Twenty-Five shares of Capital Traction
stock sold for 127 which is an advance
over the level in recent transactions a
recovery to higher levels in this security
is looked for as the time approaches for
the issue of additional bonds, owing to
the fact that the rights of subscription
to the bonds goes to the stockholders.
