General Warfield Demands and Secures a Release of His 0 ager and Lessee. General R. H. Warfield will, on Novem- ber 1, surrender his lease of the Hotel | Rafael to Baron von Schroeder, the own- er of the property. To the general public this retirement of General Warfleld will be a surprise, but to those who have had | an opportunity of observing events at the San Rafael hostelry, the expected has happened. General Warfleld found it im- possible to conduct a respectable hotel and to permit Baron von Schroeder to enter the doors. The general has decided, | therefore, to retire from the contract that was neither pleasant nor profitable. He could not ask patronage of reputa- ble men and wormen and at the same time wink at the escapades of the Baron. | It was impossible to ask decent men and women who honor their homes to reside under the same roof where gambling and outrageous revelry made noisy the hours of the night and shocked the senses of respectable people. The Baron insisted upon having his way and the other guests of General Warfield indulged their privi- lege of moving out. Scandal threw it shadow over the establishment, and in that/shadow General Warfield counted his losses. too expensive a luxury and General War- field determined if possible to dispense | with him. | request, | der HOEFLICH § 116 Grant Av. 1 1 He therefore asked that he be permitted to retire from the obligation of his lease before its legal termination. Baron von Schroeder granted and it is presumed he conduct the hotel on the principles that made it odious to the people who once favored it with their patronage. The Baron has full liberty now to conduct his gambling parties as frequently as he pleases and with whom he pleases. He s free to manage It in what- ever way will best suit his manners and me and pe s may obviate the ne- cessity of having his brother booted from any more local hotels. The trouble be- tween Baron von Schroeder and General Warfield is of long standing. When Ge ral Warfleld leased the Ho- tel Rafael it was with the understanding that the establishment was to open the entire year. After one year's experfence the manager discovered his sum of profits were eaten by his winter losses and he ed permission to close the hotel during the winter and make it distinetively mmer resort. To this Ba von Schroeder would not agree He insisted the place be kept open the ntire year. Warfield demurred, but un- the conditions of his lease was forced to submit, although he went so far as to offer Von Schroeder the rent of the | place for the entire year with the privi- The Baron became altogether | the | will | be kept | bligation as Man- lege of keeping it open only during the summer months. | Even to this more than fair proposal | Baron von Schrocder would not agree. | This was the first but by no means the | most serious cause of the trouble which | led up to the present retirement of War- | field. When the hotel first opened every | possible effort was made to make it a | fashionable summer resort for reputable | people. The Baron and his wealthy wife went there and helped things algng with a monthly bill of $110. They remained for two years, and shortly afterward Baron- ess von Schroeder went to Germany. It was the general expectation that her husband would quickly follow her, but he found here company more congenial and remained. Affairs in the Von Schroeder household had not been mov- ing as smoothly as might have been de- sired. The Baron was expensive. He spent money lavishly, and an estate which was estimated at over three mil- lion dollars began to dwindle untfl it | looked like four hundred and fifty thou- sand. A million dollars in bonds of the | Donahue raflroad had gone. Gossip tongues were wagging, and justly so, for the Baron took no pains to observe those conventionalities which hide sometimes | even derelictions. The Baroness, berore she left for Eu- | rope, gave her power of attorney to At- | torney Giselman, without whose signature | Baron Von Schroeder cannot dispose of | any of his wife's property. After the de- | parture of the Baroness, the Hotel Rafael became the scene of incidents which formed the second ground of General Warfield's complaint. Baron Von Schroe- der was even more reckless in his disre- gard of ordinary proprieties. | On more than one occasion he was asked | to desist and respect the féelings of men and women who could not justly be asked | to submit without protest to insult. But the Baron was obdurate—he owned the | | hotel. Little by little the story of scan- | dalous scenes was spread. Rumor ex-i | aggerated them and men who honor their | | reputation and women who respect their | skirts preferred to go elsewhere for their summer vacation. The house became worse than profitless. ‘ It began to lose heavily and Warfield decided if possible to retire. It was idle to expect that Von Schroeder would alter his mode of life and untl he did it was | not to be expected that people worth hav- | | ing would give their patronage to the ho- | | tel. Warfleld therefore induced Von Schroeder to release him from the obli- | gation of his lease. The Baron dld this with the greatest unwillingness. He has finally done so and to-day the necessary documents of release will be signed. “A WONDERFUL SUBJECT.” Rev. Joseph Sasia, S. J., Defines the Power of Miracles.

There are, however, a | few foreign words which have come into common use and for which there are no Our tendency in language as well as in business is toward “short cuts.” When a foreign word will express what in English would require an te sentence the foreign word is be preferred—that is, of course, if the lis tener understands its meaning. Note the | following: Esprit de corps. Pronounced ‘“‘es-pre-de- core.’ Ksprit means spirit. 'This r'rench phraseis commonly used by English-speak- ing people in the sense of common devot- ednes: mpathy or support among the members of an association or a miltary company or of any body of men united for any purpose. Thus we may say, ‘‘The esprit de corps of the London police is worthy of imitation.” Coup d’etat. Pronounced ‘‘coo-day-tah, with the last syllable accented. A bold or brilliant stroke of statesmanship; an un- expected stroke of policy. A daring move by which one political party outwits or defeats another. Finesse. Pronounced ‘“‘fi-ness,” with the second syllable accented. This word in French means ‘“fineness,” and is com- monly used by English-speaking people to denote artfulness, craft or adroitness; that quality of mind which leads to subtle actions. Note this illustration: *‘Her use of finesse in the most trivial affairs gave one the impression of being constantly duped or imposed upon.” Vade mecum. Pronounced ‘‘va-de-me- kum.” A book or article which a person carries with him as a constant companion. It may be a Baedeker or perhaps a flask of brandy. Slesta. Pronounced ‘‘see-es-ta.” A nap or period of rest in the middle of the day. The hour of siesta is strictly cbserved in the warm countries of Southern Europe. Bete noir. Pronounced ‘bate-nwor. The literal meaning is “‘black beast.” The expression is commonly used to denote a pet dislike, something which makes us especially uncomfortable. ¥h!§se are sufficient to illustr; point. Let us now look at a few words which we may find to our advan- tage to add to our vocabulary. There is no copyright on language. Words are absolutely free. Custom simply requires that we use them correctly: Cynie. Pronounced as spelled. This word originally meant dogllke. A cynic is a sneering faultfinder. He shows a disposition to disbelieve or doubt the sin- cerity of others. We say a man is cynical | or that he makes a cynical remark, or has a cynical laugh, when we refer to some relation or expression or intimation which questions the motives or thoughts of others. Optimist. Pronounced as spelled. An optimist is one who believes in the ulti- mate supremacy of good over evil always hopes for and expects theé best. arge and broad outlook. His of_cheer. Pessimist. Pronounced ‘‘pes: This word means the opposite of “optl- mist.” A pessimist is one who exagger- ates the evils of life, or who ls disposea to look only on the dark side of things. | He takes a melancholy or depressing view of life. A pessimist In religion believes | that this world is bad and its tendency is to_grow worse rather than better. Cant. Affectation in language. If it is evident to the educated or cultured or ex- perienced man that a particular writer or speaker does not really mean what he says, does not act it out in his own life; that he is simply making a respectable show of words or of thought for appear- ance sake; if this is clear, the speech or article is properly called pelitical or re- ligious eant. The word signifies a whin- ing pretension of goodness; an insincere use of religious phraseology; an affecta- tion of piety; a sham interest or enthusi- ism; false pretenses in society customs. | _Finale. ~Pronounced ‘‘fee-naugh-lee,’” | with the accent upon the middle syllable. | The concluding section of a plece of mu- psic or of any act of a dramatic work like an opera, especlally if so managed as to produce an effective climax. The last plece on a programme; the last part, plece or scene in any public performance or exhibition. The concluding act might properly be ealled a grand finale. Travesty. A t sty is a caricature, a burlesque, a grotesque or deceitful imita- tion. Our minstrel shows, for in: find a drawing card in making a trav of some current event or popular drama. In literatur travesty a burlesque treatment of a noble subject—the opposite of a parody—or_serious treatment of a trivial bject. We say that a particular thing said or done by another is a trav- esty upon a man’s character if the man is represented improperly or in burlesque. Glamour. Pronounced’ *‘glam-ur.” This word means illusion; an artificial interest or_assoclation causing things to appear different from what they really are. Thus we refer to some of the beautiful stories which we find recorded in the of | Washington as the glamour of history. Sinecure, Pronounced ‘‘sy-ne-kure,” The literal meaning is ‘“‘without care,” and therefore the name is applied to a position having attached large pay and requiring little work. Political offices are too often looked upon by their holders as sinecures. Correct speech is learned only by care- ful study. We must watch ourselves con- stantly _until good English becomes a habit.” When reading it is wise to read possible. There {8 no better way of becoming accustomed to the sound and rhythm of words. Their proper grammatical relation soon becomes as familiar to the ear as correct spelling does to the eye. The ear immediately de- tects a false construction or improperly used word just as tk e notes a wrong combination of letters in the spelling: Note the follow ons: The words ery, either and neith- er are followed singular verbs, as: “Bach of the boys was there.” “Either aloud as much ing cautl e h, he or his brother was to be appointed.” “I am not certain t pEcds ve hat either of us was y_one please himself,” not When singular namés connected by “‘and” are preceded by each, every or no the verb must be singular, as! h book and slate was in position.” very man and woman was drowned.” air or desk is to be used in the d th Let room. As well as and none take singuar verbs, ‘Greek as well as Latin 07 It should be ‘‘was “None of us are going” should e ““None of us is going.” Be careful to use the possessive form his instead of him in such sentences as * did not think of his returning 8o s “ITIw his pla In sente 5 of this charact e i not wa It is incorrect was he.” Say “If 1 were he. f he was in Tom's shoes he would think differently.” Say “If he were.”” It may be put down as a general rule that in sentences denoting supp tion or doubt the plural form of the verb should be used The words lie and lay are often incor- rectly used. To lie means to place one's self in a horizonta) position; to lay means to put or place, to spread on the surface. The book lies on the table, not lays on I lay down for a few minutes, . 1 have lain down, not I have laid down. I have laid it down, not 1 have lain it down. - The word either means, strictly, the one or the other of two; both means two taken collectively, and each means two considered séparately Where this and that, these and those, the one and the other refer to things previously mentioned, this and these refer to the last mentioned, and that and those to the first mentioped, the one refers to the first mentioned and the other to the last mentioned. | The words answer and reply should not be used indiscriminately. An answer is given to a question, a reply to an asser- tion. When we are addressed we answer; when we are accused we reply. SHOP AND TRADE STUDIES FOR BOYS. Copyright, 1899, by Seymour Eaton. I. ARITHMETIC OF THE WORK- SHOP. Lesson No. 2. In our first lesson we considered boards | one inch thick and called a square foot a board foot. A board a foot square and an inch thick contains 144 cubic inches, so that if we know the number of cubic inches in a wood solid we can find the number of board feet by dividing by 144. Note the following exercises: 1. How many cubic inches in a block of wood 2 feet square and 7 inches thick? 2. How many cubic inches in a stick of square timber 8 inches by 10 inches and 20 feet long? 3. How many board feet in five sticks ot timber each 16 inches by 18 inches and 12 feet long? 4. The lumber of the floor of a piazza of | the shape shown in the diagram is 1% inches thick. AB is 40 feet; CD is 25 feet; AE is 36 feet; CG is 21 feet. Find the value of the lumber at $48 a thousand feet. 5. There are 10 supports required for a bridge. They are all to be of the same size and of the shape shown In the figure. A is 18 feet long and 16 inches square; B and C are each 15 feet long and 16 inches square. They are billed at the rate of $48 per 1000 board feet. Find the total amount of the bill. Note—To find the area of a ecircle mul- tiply half of the diameter (AB) by itself and multiply the product by 31-7. To find | the circumference of a circle multiply the diameter by 31-7. 6. Find the value of the lumber in a cir- cular platform 210 feet in diameter and built of 2-inch plank at $3 per 1000 feet, 7. How many feet of lumber in 50 pack- ing boxes, each 4 feet by 2% feet by 2 feet and made of inch Jumber? Note—Consider outside measurements. & How many wood blocks, each 2 inches | by 3 inches by 214 inches, can be cut out | of a stick of timber 10 inches by 12 inches | and 9 feet long, making no allowance for | waste in sawing? 9. An office building of the shape shown in the diagram has 12 floors. AB is 40 feet, AC is 60 feet, EF is 18 feet, EG is 24 feet. Find the value of the inch floor- ing necessary to cover the 12 floors at $50 per 1000 board feet. 10. Find the value of the 2-inch lumber necessary in building a 6-foot sidewalk around a rectangle 40 rods by 20 rods (in- side measurement) at $20 per 1000 board feet. Hints and’ Answers. (1) 4032 cubic inches. (2) 19,200 cubic inches. (3) 1440 board feet. Divide the number of cubic inches by 144. (4) $65 8. | Find the area of the whole rectangle by mu!t!gly]ng 40 by 36, then subtract from this the area of the shaded portion. This | will leave 915 squage feet. Multiply by the thickness of the floor in inches. “This | gives 13723 feet of lumber. (5) $49152. Di- | vide the solld contents of the timber in inches by 144, and the result should be 110,240 board feet. (6) 3249480 The area of the circle is 34,650 square feet. (7) board feet. (8) 864 blocks. (9) $1416 9. Subtract the area of the smaller rectan- gle from the entire area. (10) $480 %. Do not count the corners twice. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION. Autumn-Winter Term, 1899-1900.
