Changing a Words Meaning.

Pension" is among the nero
cases Of words Of Latin origin special
lied to mean something which the
original did not mean to the Romans.
"Pensio" sigrifed simply a payment
in the broadest sense; and We are at
liberty to draw the sound moral that a
pension is not really something
thrown in as a gratuity, but deferred
pay. The word for a soldiers pay
was "stipendium;" and here we have
another curious shift of meaning. No
body speaks Of a soldiers stipend"
now; it is a magistrate or a clergyman
whose pay receives that name. Tho
"stipendIum" was paid in Jumps three
or four times a year, and the word
came to be used TO mean a years term
of service.

''COBE" DELIGHTED
GERMAN SEAMEN

Several days ago Coburn's Greater
Minstrels appeared before a big au-
dience at Newport News. Va, where
two German cruisers, the Prinz Eitel
Frederick and Kronprinz Wilhelm,
have been interned for some time.
Because j. A. Coburn, owner and
manager of the show, lives here, and
he and several of his comedians are
well known locally, the following
from Newport News paper will be
of more than ordinary interest to
Daily News readers:
"Seamen from the German raiding
cruisers, Prinz Eitel Frederick and
kronprinz Wilhelm, last night saw
for the first time in their lives a real
American minstrel show when they
attended a performance of j. A. Co
burns Greater Minstrels at the Acad-
envy of Music. They had been per-
mitted special shore leave by their
commanders after months at sea in
destroying the commerce of enemy
nations
In sharp contrast to the dull ex-
istence aboard the converted cruisers.

in the kaiser's navy. spent three
hours in solid laughter at the antics
of the score of comedians and dancers
and marvelled at the notes reached
by the double quartet of ballad sing.
