The Anqlo-Saxons.

Tho Angles and Saxons were the chief tribes among the three principal Teutonic conquerors of Britain; the Jutes were the third. They were Low Dutch tribes from the borderlands or Germany and Scandinavia, the lands at the mouth of the Elbe and the Weser. Their language was an irde- pendent branch of the Teutonic fam fly. The Saxons were the first inva' ders, but the Angles settled more land. As their settlement became old CT and they themselves permanent res- idents of the island they called them. selves "English,'' but their Celtic neighbors called them Saxons Their language was. of course. established in England at the time of the Norman conquest in 1066, when Norman-French words and phrases of Latin origin be- came fused with the language of the people. The short and homely words of Anglo-Saxon origin remain. of course, as an integral and basic part of the English language. simpler. bet ter known, less pretentious, and pref. erable In conversation to the words ct Latin derivation.

FAIR NOT | GREAT SUCCESS.

Reports from persons who have been there are to the effect that the San Francisco exposition is not the success it was hoped for. One is re- ported to have talked with officials of the fair and came away with the impression that they did not see their way clear to make a financial success of the big venture.
 Strange as it may seem, the Euro i,ean war is given as one reason Tor the financial troubles Of the fair and as lsck of adequate attendance. The stringency. of the money market IS given as another reason. It IS said the exhibition IS all that was prom ised the only disappointing festurs being the small attendance.

\ INE BLUFF x, ROG!RESS
 ROSPERITY
LIBELING SHARP DUNAWAY.

The great progress that Arkansas is making is galling to the writers of some states with fewer advantages than this great commonwealth, and in their attempts to ridicule Arkan- sas, these writers frequently go beyond the bounds of propriety, req so;, or truth.
 The latest attempt of this kind coming to our attention does gross injustice to one of tho sate's best known and most dignified citizens, while at tho same tima casting slur upon the culture of Arkansas people, than whcnli there are none more scholarly. Here's the offending article printsd by the Beaumont (Texas) Enterprise, which lays the blame on another publication:
 Literature genius and business thrift is a somewhat unusual combl- nation, but in Arkansas a remarkable instance of this combination exists.
 Sharp Dunaway, a citizen of that state, wrote history of the late Sen ator Jeff Davis, but, owing to busl- ness depression, sales of tho Dooi1 fer cash were slow. But, along with his literary genius, Sharp has the genius of the trader. and he worked 1t to splendid effect, according to the Arkansas Blade. He put his book on a "trading basis" according to that paper, and did thriving business with peddlers. He would trade his book to them for any of their wares that had a commercial value. He swapped three copies Of his book for three goats. He gave four books at $15O each for a bee tree, paid $1.5O to have the tree cut down, and go1 $11 worth of honey. He traded rol $500 worth of coon, mink, possum ane polecat hides and made $100 profit or the hides. He passes up nothing that has. a selling value, taking beeswaX, tallow, whippoorwill peas, geese ant duck feathers. old iron, old rubber and other commodities.
 Let no man say again that tho spirit of literature is tagging in Ar kansas.
 Mir. Dunaway should not permit this to pass unnoticed. He should prosecute a suit for libel, and lei those who enjoy poking fun at Ar. kansas and Arkansas people have the opportunity of paying for their diver sicn.

 THE REAL SfNNERS.

It is probable that the captain pf the lGastland and a few others of the crew will be made the goats" for the disaster that cost more than 1000 lives, but the captains is not the soul upon which rests the awful responsi- bility for the crime.
 The real sinners are the oWners of the scrazy ship" as it W2s known to boatmen on the lakes, who permit ted their greed for gold to let them continue the vessel in the human freight trade, and the .lessees who operated the death trap in the excur- sion business. These arc the Tea sinners; the men who proved they cared naught for the safety of others as long as they could increase their piles of gold.
 The proof of the lessees' guilt ls shown by the contract With the laooi mlen who were to operate the eXcur' sion, giving. 8 rebate on all tickets + excess of AO0o. The boats capacit! was only 2500.

the exposition. It is evident that this has only been partly true. Why moneyed Americans every year pre- fer to go to Europe rather than see the beauties of their own country is difficult of explanation; and with a falr at the end of the trip as an ad- ditional attraction, it becomes still harder.
 However, every decade sees 9 great worlds fair; som stinIes in less time than that Chicago, St. Louis and Paris followed in rapid success sion, with a host of smaller affairs in between.
 There is a possibility that one req son why the San Francisco exposition isn't>drawing as well as was expected is because most of our moneyed men and women have already seen worlds fairs, some of them several, and that a trip across the continent to See dAOlucT IS uCI dppC~4iASo lO IAACll Ch A' time.
 For a great fair to be successful financially, or nearly so, the atten- dance must be tremendous. And the further away from the center of popu- lation such ai fair happens to be, the less the attendance.

MORE AMERICAN
LIVES ARE LOST
British Steamer Armenian Sunk
BY German Submarine.
20 MEN LOST, 10 INJURED
Washington Institutes Inquiry To De-
termine Whether Steamer Was
Under Charter To British
Government.

Washington.-The Dominion freight
liner Armenian, flying the British flag
and carrying mules from Newport
News, Va, to England, was torpedoed
and sunk by the German submarine
U-3S off Cornwall, England, and nearly
score of American muleteers aboard
are reported lost, according to mes
sages received by the State Depart
ment from Consul John S. Armstrong,
Jr., at Bristol
Twenty-nine men in all were lost
and 10 injured.
Washington Awaits Facts.
The news created sensation in Of
ticial quarters, as it was the first case
of loss OF American lives since the
sinking of the Lusitania, The gravity
of the incident, however, and the
action of the Washington government
depends almost entirely on whether
the Armenian was chartered by the
British Government and was, in fact,
transport of war aboard which
Americans would sail at their own
risk or whether she was an unarmed
merchantmen.
In the latter case, even though
carrying contraband, the ship could
have been subjected to visit and
search and those aboard transferred to
a place of safety before the destruc-
ton of the vessel vas attempted.
In the absence of official informa-
ton on these points officials declined
to say what effect the sinking of the
Armenian would have on pending ne
gotiations between the United States
and Germany.
Americans Took Risk.
Ofhand opinions among department
officials pointed clearly to justification
on the part of Germany in sinking the
vessel. 1t was said unoff1cially that
the horses and mules were consigned
to the British Army; that the vessel
was either an auxiliary of the British
Navy or else chartered by the Govern
ment for the transportation of war
munitions. Horses and mules are in
disputably contraband, and are so held
by all the belligerent governments.
Any American who has accepted
service on such ship or who might
venture upon 1t as passenger would
do so, 1t was explained by officials, at
his own risk and would have little if
any redress through this Government
for injuries sustained. In other words,
it is not apparent tonight that the sink
ing of the Armenian will create any
additional friction between the United
States and Germany.
