"Chinaman," in the sense Of native
Of China. than 1854, when Emerson so
used it. The previous word was "Chi-
nese," from which the plural "Chi-
neses" was formed by Milton and his
contemporaries, and the false singular
"Chinee'' by modern Americans. But
"Chinaman'' in another sense. that OF

three instances of it from London d.
rectories of 1772. 1901 and 1919, but

Crowther, Chinaman," was gazetted

While this has been considered a
year when money was short the cash

this same year was $9,S51 81 of which
of the two $1,9osS5 goes to the city

been $9,9S6.06 collected for seed grain

TRAFFIC MUCH DELAYED.

Through the exceedingly cold
weather just experienced, the rail-
road companies have had great diff
Guilty in running the trains anywhere
near schedule time on account of the
snow and danger of derailment from
breaking of rails.
The trains through here yesterday
were from three to five hours late

not SO bad. Now that the warm wave
is coming this way it is presumed by
the officials that the trains will run
nearer schedule time.
