At the meeting of the Anthropological Soci- ety at the Cosmos Club last evening Dr. Robert Fletcher read an interesting paper on “The Vigor and Expressiveness of the Older Eng- lish.” He began by stating that it was in the natare of a new departure to introduce at this meeting of the society nearest to the holiday season a paper on a subject apart from anthro- pology and more nearly akin to the arts and letters. For the time being, he said, the In- dian, his history and customs would be given a Test, and it was to be hoped at the present time that the Indian himself might remain at peace. MODERN ENGLISH LESS VIGOROUS THAN OLDER. “Why is it,” asked Dr. Fletcher, “that mod- ern good English is less terse and vigorous and more diffuse than older English? In this Ido not refer to the old or early English of the Chaucerian perio@, but to the English of the time of Elizabeth. ' Not that archaic English is less vigorous, but a comy m between that and the modern would be more difficult and | Jess satisfactory. Weare wont to refer to the | glories of the Elizabethan age and we can but | wonder at the marvelous change that took | place in the literature and more especially in ‘the drama of that age. |The harsh and crabbed lines of the miracle and morality playa had given way to the grace and beauty of Marlowe and was followed in_ turn by the writers of the romantic school, Shakespeare, Leaumont and Fletcher, Haywood and a host of others. ‘The reformation and the renaissance were con- temporaneons causes, one starting in Germai and the other having its birthplace and strong: hold in Italy. THE SPRINGTIME OF LITERATURE. “That was the springtime of literature when it blossomed forth in all its wealth and glory. Then men wrote and spoke as they never did before and have not since, and the spacious times of Elizabeth vary an eloquence the echoes of which remain with us still. Then | | there was no censor of the press to restrain the | strength ard freedom of diction and to repre: the wordy uttacks that were made on people in power and high estate.” At this point and throughout his paper Dr. Fletcher introduced a number of quotations in | rhyme and blank verse from the writers | that period to illustrate the points he ma¢ d for the sake of drawing comparisons, more | | than favorable as a rule, with the works of the | literary men of later times. He read a magn ficent quotation from Marlowe's “Dr. Fa .” descriptive of hell, which ke characte ized as grander than anything of the sort to found in the writings of either Dante or Mil- ton. BEAUTY AND GRACE OF WORDS. “But apart from the boldness and strength of this period,” continued Dr. Fletcher, “how can we explain the beauty and grace of the words? It is a trite saying, I know, that the strength of the English language is derived from the Anglo-Saxon. The strength—yes: but not its ease and beauty. That came from the Latin and through the introdnetion of Latin words into our vocabulary. Remember, though, | that Ido not compare the Elizabethan period to the present for the sake of disparaging the latter, for we owe too great a debt of gratitude | to the writer of our ow and the closely pre- | ceding period for that te be a proper course. | Yet there is in the older English an cpigram- terseness and a daring use of metaphor ater made way fora tamer and 4 style Among the causes to which he ascribed much of the power and charm of the carlier style were the bold ure of new compounds of the parts of speech, imbrand, untell, disleaved and the like: epi is “the tabbed nic Diogenes;” the introduction of unusual inflections and bold antithe: Sometimes the end was attained by daring use of the impossible, while alliteration also lent i ful aid, though quaintness was more the result of this last than any marked power and vigor. CAUSES OF ORIGINALITY. “These are but a few,” said Dr. Fletcher, in conclusion, “of the causes of originality and merit in that earlier literature. I have brought out from the vast mine only afew of the nug- gets for your consideration, which are as nothing compared to the great wealth neces sarily left untouched. Yet with it all it would be beyond the power of the critic to explain genius and to account for all the powers of the t. The reading of the paper was followed by an interesting discussion of the subject, in which Prof. Otis T. Mason. Dr. J. M. Gregory and Gen. Brown took part. The latter left the matter of the beauties of the older English in the hands ofthe other members of the society and de- voted his attention almost entirely to the fail- ings and shortcomings of the American news- per, which he dubbed the chief agent in the Rektruction of the English language. in ite purity. In his opinion what fills a column of the daily press could usually be condensed into ten or twelve lines and then be more effective and more descriptive. In the multiplicity of words both the writer and the reader get hope- lessly lost, and as the world wags nowaduys | one might as well give up all hope of having a any more pure English undefiled.

This morning the estimator of the wind’s velocity was in his glory. He was surrounded by the most striking evidences of high speed, such as woful howling, rambling roofs, shaking win- dows, shattered glass, broken branches, even uprooted trees, and he kept raising his esti- mates all day long as fresh instances of the power of the air eaine to his notice. An enterprising in- dividual, taking advantage of an assemblage of experienced guessers in his vicinity, gathered in their individual opinions as to the velocity of the wind np to 10 o'clock. An amusing varicty of estimates resulted. GUESSING THE VELOCITY OF THE WIXD. ‘The iowest guess was 27 miles an hour, Then came the others as follows: 88, 39, 40, 43, 45, 47, two 50s, 54, ‘58 to 62,” 65, 68, 70, 75, 93, “100 or over.” The “27-mile” man had an idea that he'd surprise everybody with his sagacious low estimate. He failed. ‘The man who guessed 50 said that he didn't dare to ay how hard it blew when the wind took the clothes uff his bed daring the night. ‘The man of 98 was an indi- vidual who had come to work with a sad story about having had to crawl out on his roof at an unseemly hour, clad inan equally unseetly costume, in a frantic race after the trap doo in his roof, which had been blown off to the | rain xpout. «Hix estimating powers had been | warped by his sufferings and he was declared | unqualified. The last man, he who had suid “over a hundred,” lives in a seven-story buil ing and his guess was thrown out. ‘Then the manager of the guessing contest telephoned to the signal office for information that would settle ‘the quextion and was told by the wind watcher there that the official record of maxi- jum wind up to 10 o'clock was 48 milex an it iw ONE OF THE MOST SEVERE STORMS that has visited Washington for some months. | The cold rortheast gale brought with it just enongh rain to make outdoor life almost unen- durable, and the wind had a searching, inquisi- tive character about it that was annoying in a high degree.

In both these matters the delegations had favorable answers. The association hopes that for the next fiscal year appropriations will be obtained to complete the improvements already bepun on Maple and Linden streets, to be followed by others for paving Spruce | street and the streets connecting Maple and Spruce. The association proposes to enforce vigor- ously the covenants in the original deeds of proprietors, binding all grantecs, their heirs und assigns not to build within prescribed dis- tances of the streets or houses of a lesa value than a fixed sum specified in the deed.

BIG TREES BLOWN DowS. The trees on I street southwest between 6th and 7th streets suffered more from the effects of the storm than in any other part of the city.

Eleven Men Arrested and Some of Them Tried in the Police Court Today. ‘The police of the several precinets have de- | termined to rid the city of as many disorderly characters as possible before the holidays. Last night the officers of the fourth precinct raided three places in South Washington, where liquor is sold, and arrested eleven col- cred men. The officers who took part in the raid were Sanford, Smith, Espey, Herbert and Hayden. Eleven young colored men were arrested. ‘They were Wm. Henry Lee, alias vhisky Bili,” Chas. Nelson, War. Thomas, Jas.
