After more than a century the United

Recent Deaths.
Origin of Family Names.

From the Wilkes Barre Times-Leader.
When the human family was small
and people lived close together one
name was enough to identify man or
a woman Abraham and Sarah, Ruth
and Jacob never troubled about family
names.
In the eleventh century the popula-
ton Of the world had greatly increased,
the people lived in many different
countries and men travelled great
deal, and so as means of identlhca-
tion they took surnames or family
names and these names were handed
down to their children. The son of
John was Johnson, the son of William
was Williamson. Men were also
named from their work-John the
Smith became John Smith, and loca-
tions also gave names to famil1es-the
man who lived near water was By
water, the man who lived on hilltop
might become known as Hill.
The Normans who came into England
in the twelfth century used the word
Fitz, which comes from the French
word fills, meaning son, as a prefix for
names. The son of William was Fitz-
william. the son of Gerald was Fitz-
gerald. The Welsh word for SON is Ap
and Ap-Hugh or Hugh's son became
Pueh. and Ap-Even, or Evans son in
time became Bevan. In other countries
names were formed in the same way.
and in time all civilized men had family
names to distinguish them from other
men.

A French Reservist's Long Walk.
From the Westminster Gazette.

A notable example Of patriotism and
fortitude has come to notice from
Welling. A French naval reservist
by force of circumstances found him.

North Island. He desired to get to
Wellington to make arrangements to
retoin a French vessel, but had no
means to get to his goal. Being too
proud to beg for money. he set out on
foot This meant tramp of $50 miles.
He would not accept any money from
kindly disposed persons he met on his
tourney-only a little food to sustain
his strength. His purpose was steady,
and the long tramp was safely accom-
plished at about midnight week after
he had started.
The reservist's last day on the road
was perhaps his worst. Not morser
Of food had passed his lips from the day
before, the gale had chilled him. while
the driving rain had completed his dis

stable and asked to be locked up so
that his case could be brought to the
notice of the French consul. Upon
hearing the mans story. however, the
constable refused to take him in.

Stanley found Livingstone and told

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, August THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance Of
s to 10 points in response to continued
hrmness in Liverpool. the failure of the
weather map to indicate any important
rain in the southwest and bullish private
crop accounts from that section.
There was considerable realizing on the
advance, which carried prices back to
nearly the high point Of yesterday, and
the western belt forecast for cloudy
weather seemed to promote some scattered
selling, but the outlook for rain over Sum-
day was not clear enough to create any
aggressive pressure, and the market was
fairly steady at reactions Of 8 or 4 points
during the early trading.
Futures opened steady: October, 945;
December. 9.79: January. 9.93; March,
1916: May, 1896.
Spot cotton quiet; middling uplands,
9.45. No sales.
Futures closed firm October, $50;
December. $50: January. 9.s2; March,
1915; May, 1898.
The early reaction carried prices
point or two under last nights closing
figures, but prices hardened on Liver
pool and New Orleans buying after the
publication Of the Texas weather de-
tails showing no rain and higher tenn
perature.
The close was firm at a net advance
of to points.
