MT. CARMEL MAN WALKS
IN SLEEP OUT WINDOW

Charles Lucas, son of the propri-
etor of the Belmont hotel at Mt
Carmel, is a somnambulist, and on
Thursday night he came very nearly
being an angel as we'll. Mr.. Lucas
was sleeping in the hotel, and some
time during the after part of Thurs
day night he got up in his sleep and
deliberately walked out of the open
window, which was on the second
floor. 1t would appear that such a
fall would kill any ordinary man,
but it only sprained an ankle and
inflicted n few other painful bruises
on his anatomy. The young man
will probably sleep on the ground
floor hereafter or tie a rope to his
hind leg when he goes to bed RE

R0MANCHE TO BE LANGUAGE

Berne, July 19..-The voters in
the canton of Grisons have Just bal
loted almost unanimously in favor
of Romanche being the obligatory
language of the courts. Romauche
is a survival of al ancient tongue
derived from the Latin, and is one
of the four languages officially
recognized in the Swiss Parliament,
the others being German, French
and Italian. Romanche has been
dying for centuries and is now
spoken only in the canton of Grisons
and small districts in eastern Swift
2erlanG where Latin was planted bv
the lesionaries of Caesar who settled
there. Several of the judges in the
Grisons Courts and many lawyers
practicing in them have only slight
knowledge of RomanChe as Cases
