Miss EI>;JE MAE CRANDELL, aged
seven years, youngest child of Mr. and
Mrs. Clias. E. Crandell, after being in
poor health for several months passed
uway Tuesday morning, being con
scious almost to the last. About three
weeks ago she was taken with la grippe
and her weakened condition not being
suflicientto withstand the ordeal, her
little heart failed. All that faithful
nursing and the watchful attention of
both Drs. Falk and Bush were without
avail. ELSIE was a very affectionate
child, the pride of the home and dear
ly loved by the afflicted family, who
have our deepest sympathy in their
great affliction. The dear child only a
short time before its death requested
that one of its beautiful carnations be
given to Dr. Falk,"who had remained
with her all night, battling against the
fatal disease, but God had called the
loved one.
The funeral will be held from the
family residence, West Fifth street,
Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock,
the seventh anniversary of her birth,

Bogue, pastor of the First Baptist

A CURIOUS WORD.
Twists That May Be Given to "Ba" In
the Chinese Language.
lii tho Chinese language the same
word may be giveu several different
meanings by the modulation of* the
voice. The same thing may happen to
tho Entrlish "Yes," which may be pro
nounced so as to mean "1 assent to
that," or "I am doubtful," or "Indeed?"
An eminent authority on philology
gives an amusing Illustration of these
modulations in the Anuamitk lan
guage, a monosyllabic tongue spoken
by tho people of Tonquin and Cochin
China.
Iu litis language tho syllable "ba"
pronounced with a grave accent means
a lady, an ancestor. Pronounced with
tho sharp accent, it means the favorite
of a prince. Pronounced with the semi
grave accent, it means what has been
thrown away. Pronounced with the
grave circumflex, it means what has
been left of a fruit after tho juice has
boon squeezed out. Pronounced with
no accent, it means three. Pronounced
with tho ascending or interrogation ac
cent, it means a box on the ears.
Thus the word "ba," in the order giv
en above, Is said to mean, if properly
pronounced, "Throe ladies gave a box
on the ear to the favorite of the
prince."™CUica; > liecor:l-llerald.
Two Previous.
A Richmond woman has in her em
ploy a little darky, Miff Cole. One day
Miff became confidential and told his
mistress he was "soin' to the eimitery
next Sunday."
"But, Miff, that's a long walk. You
know it is more than five miles."
"Oh, missus, I ain't goin' to walk
I's goin' to ride."
"How is that. Miff?"
"I's goin' in a kerridge t' my uncle's
funeral."
All day Saturday Miff could talk of
nothing but tho approaching affair.
Sunday his mistress excused him, and
she expected that on Monday she
would be regaled with a full account
of the funeral, l'.ut Miff turned up
with a most melancholy face. In an
swer to her inquiry he said:
"I didn't go, missus. He ain't dead
yit."—New York Herald.
Decay of Building Stones.
The causes of decay in building
stones are various and depend on the
physical structure of the stone, its
composition and tho nature of the sur
rounding atmosphere. Tho most de
structive agent to which the stone is
exposed is rain or a moist atmosphere
and also in a minor degree wind, frost
and smoke. The air of large towns is
usually charged with various deleteri
ous acids. These acids are dissolved
by the rain, which penetrates the stone
In a greater or less degree, according
to its physical structure, and combines
with tho constituents of the stone,
causing it to decay, so that any con
trivance that will check the admis
sion of water will be most likely to
succeed in arresting decay.—Building
World.
Cab Hire.
The price that one pays for a taxi
today is just a little different from
what was paid for, say, the hire of a
sedan chair in days of old. In the do
mestic accounts of "Mistress Nell
Gwyn" we read: "For chairing you to
Mrs. Knight's and to Mrs. Cassell's
find to Mrs. Churchill's and to Mrs.
Knight's, -1 shillings. For chairing you
yesterday and waiting eleven hours,
11 shillings <i pence. Paid 13th Oct.,

GILBERT RETURNS.
Popular Theatre Manager is Back
to Manage the Grand.
Much to the surprise and elation of
his many friends, C. L. Gilbert, Jr.,
formerly manager of the Grand opera
house here, who recently went to Sag
inaw, Mich., to manage the Majestic
theatre, returned to the city last night
to resume the active management of
the Grand here, John T. Carpenter
going to Port Huron, Mich., to look
after the Majectic theater at that place.
Mr. Carpenter's departure for Port
Huron made it necessary that Mr. Gil
bert come back, as he is thoroughly
familiar with the management of the
local house. W. G. Gilbert, a brother
of Lafayette's popular manager, ar
ranged it so the latter could come back
to Lafayette . W. G. Gilbert is now iu
charge of the Saginaw house. Mr.
Carpenter, who has numerous friends
here, will not return to Lafayette to
stay, but may drop in the city for a
short time later to inspect the plans
and specifications of the new house,
which will be turned over to the
Grand opera house management next
week. The return of Mr. Gilbert was
hailed with joy by his friends. Mr.
Gilbert says he is glad to be back
among Lafayette folks again. Mr. Gil
bert is enthusiastic over the idea of
the Grand being reconstructed, and
says the house will rank with the finest
theatres in the state 1 when completed.
—Lafayette, Ind , Courier, March 30tb.
The Gilbert brothers, who are resi
dents of Emporium are rapidly forgipg
to the front as theatrical managers a 8
