A POINT IX (? HAMMAH CAUSTIC COMMENT ON THE USE OF THE SPLIT INFINITIVE. A Criticism That Waa Dorn of thc Habit ot Writer* lu Vning QnalUy IDK WIUIIH Bet neon the Infinitive Verb and the Preposition. The following pointed correspondence touching n question of grammatical construction calls attention to the prac tice of placing qualifying words be tween the lulluitivc verb and Its prep osition "to." The late Dr. Grier of South Carolina, fut* 'JS years president of Erskine college, was not only an ac complished speaker, but noted for the purity and elegance of his diction. Ile was also the editor of The Associate Reformed Presbyterian, the church pu per of the southern "sceoders," pub Itslied nt Due West. All editorial in that paper in 181)5, while Mr. Clo vein nd was president, caused Mr. .T. Althens Johnson, a member of the Washington har and au Erskine alumnus, lo write to his former college Instructor under ?Int?' of Nov. 10, 18*.?."?, as follows: "Did thc eat that guards the editorial sanctum relax its vigilance for a mo ment last week, or did lt admit ns en titled to entrance the expression which basa qualifying word between the prep osition 'to' and the Infinitive verb? I refer to the expression, 'To fairly test the experiment' (of the dispensary), occurring in the editorial on the consti tutional convention. 4,I know that poets, when forced hy the exigency of their art, have now and then placed an adverb between the Infinitive and tia! word 'to;' as when Burns says, lu his 'Cotter's Saturday Night,' 'To nobly stem tyrannic pride,', and Byron, lu his 'Childe Harold,' 'To slowly trace the forest'.- shady scene.' "I know, too, Hint such au expression is often used by the newspaper writers of the day, many of whom are quite crude and careless in regard to the lit erary quality of their composition. "It ls true, too, that such au expres sion ls Unding its way Into places ?where before lt has been utterly un known. Under Mr. Cleveland it has erept now and then into ofllelnl and state papers, ns, for Instance, lu tho Thanksgiving proclamation of this year, also published in the last issue of The Presbyterian, In which ls thc ex pression 'To so Incline the hearts of our people.' "The justices of tho supreme court of the United States have generally been masters of good English, scrupulously exact in nil their expressions. Indeed many of them have afforded splendid models of good composition, but tho above construction has found an en trance even into that tribunal through one of the present Justices, whoso free-, dom in this regard would have been shocking to some of thc distinguished men who have sat upon that bench. "The construction likewise appears now and then in an act of congress,' particularly when the committee which considered the bill did not have a per son in its membership who bad ever carefully studied literary style. "There nre scores of persons of re spectable scholastic and professional attainments who might usc such an expression, and I would think nothing of it, for thero would be other markB, in abundance to indicate that they had never given much attention to the beau ties or niceties of speech and compo sition. But when The Presbyterian under Its present editorial management aligns Itself with the construction here' referred to I shall think that tho day! ls dawning when respectable usage, will no longer be a unit la saying that such a construction ls a blemish not, to be tolerated In prose composition: "I am sure that good usage at the present time ls overwhelmingly In fa* vor of Interposing nothing between the! Infinitive and Us preposition, but If The, Presbyterian, in its editorial columns,! is giving aid and comfort to a constrvc-j Hon which the classic writers of our, language have heretofore so studiously, avoided the grammarians will soon, have occasion to take down the pillory in which they have always been de lighted to expose the expression, de claring it to bo an offense that was un-, pardonable save only when a poet was! <he criminal." Dr. Grier publiai 1 the above letter, in the nezt issue of The Presbyterian, s with the following remarks: ) "Tho point made by our good friend,' Mr. J. Altheus Johnson, Is well taken.) j The criticism ls just. It may soothe' I one's feelings to be in company with Burns and Byron in such a cese, not j forgetting the distinguished president ox the United States and the justice of the supreme court, but their usage does not justify slipshod English any more ? than tho editorials in The Presbyte rian. Our friend might have extended bis list and added even greater names,! perhaps. For example, the author of' a standard textbook on English litera ture (Halt) uses this expression, 'Who soever desiree-to truly know,' etc A greater than bo, Matthew Arnold, says In his essay on 'Culture and Anarchy,' To unwittingly disparage and discred it,' etc. These and other Instances ad-; mit of no justification. It ls charged] by late critics, and with reason, that i newspapers are the great corruptora of our noble tongue. Some words and phrases that have been unsparingly condemned have yet won their way and now claim their place solely through newspaper usage. 'Caption' ls one of them, used as synonymous with title or heading. Others might be named. If, then, the newspapers are! such potent factors In forming our bab ils of speech and molding our literary taste, they should remember the max-; Sm, 'Noblesse oblige.' " - Washington POBt.

By hanging pictures low yon in crease tho apparent height of tho room. Colored pictures should not bc hung in hallways or on staircases unless there is plenty of light for them. In such pince o strong photographs, en gravings and drawings in black and white go best. A picture should not be hung from one nail: thc diamond lines formed by the cord have a very discordant effect. Two nails and two vertical cords, or, what is far moro safe, pieces of wire cordage, should be Used instead of the singlo cord. Picture cords should bc as near the color of thc wall upon which they are put as possible, so that they may be but little seen. When one picture is hung beneath another the bottom one should bc hung from the one above, and not from thc top; thus wo avoid multiplying the cords, which is always objectionable. A good hue for wall where prints or photographs are to bc hung is a rich yellow brown or a leather color. Lus ter to the black of thc print of the tone of thc photograph is thus im parted. The wall paper should have no strongly definod pattern. Thc oentrc of the picture, as a rule, should not be much above thc level of the eye. -? - . ? -' A Surprise to Mrs. Jefferson DOTIS. Sectional feeling in this blessed land of ours must indeed have passed away forever when such an incident as that which recently occurred in tho city of New York couldjbe chronicled as a fact. ? At the dinner of the Sons of the American Revolution, which was attended"by over 400 representative men and women, a remarkable de monstration occurred. Whilo the orchestra was playing one of our na tional hymns, "Dixie," a gray-haired lady, in widow's weeds, entered. The diners at once arose, as did all the spectators on the floor and in the gal leries, to wave their handkerchiefs in an enthusiastic greeting to a venera ble but sprightly woman, whose gentle face smiled down upon them amid its tears. The lady wa?* Mrs. Jefferson Davis, ard before tho evening had passed every prominent guest had visited her box to pay his or her re spects to the widow of the former Confederate President. It was a gen erous, spontaneous, heartfelt greeting. If any one, twenty years ago, had Baid that such an inoldcnt waa possible in thc great Northern metropolis he would have been thought crazy. Truly we are a united people, with one coun try and one flag, and long may it wave. -Leslie * Weekly. - The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record writes: "Chief Joseph, of the Nos Perces, adminis tered a rebuke to seotsrian controver sialists the other day. He is one of the noblest of Indians and has sever done a dishonorable set. With a handful of braves he fought the entire United States army all one summer, bat sinee his surrender Chief Joseph has striotly kept the. letter and the terms he made with the Government. He is now here trying to induse the Government to fulfill its pledges. Chief Joseph wants school houses but he does not want churches en his reservation, and when asked tc explain why, he replied that he feared the ministers would teaoh his people to quarrel about God. 'We quarrel about men sometimes,' b' said, but we never quarreled about t' e Great Spirit. We worship Him, but we never quarrel about Him.' " - Gunpowder waa net aiways ss pow erful an explosive as it is now. In the time of Cromwell, for instance, it was so weak that the piBtoleerwas ad vised sot to discharge his weapon un til he could place the mustie of the pistol olose to tho body of the enemy -nuder the cuirass, if possible-as then he would be sure not to waste his powder. - "John," ehe said, "bundle up your throat. You can't afford to run any risks. What would you leave for me if you were to die suddenly." "Well, Julia," he replied, "you ought to be able to answer that question better than I. You know you get the pay envelope every Saturday night." - The greatest sea depth known to man is in the South Atlantic Ocean, midway between the Island of Tristan de Cuba and the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, the bottom being here readi ed at a depth of 40,346 feet, or eight and three quarter miles. - Nover try to make too good a ! bargain either for yourself or y our em ployer.

The insect was removed in two pieces, but too late to save the man's life. - It isn't, so much what a man thinks as what he does that counts. - Ho who would avoid sin must not stand at tho door of temptation. Wheeler's Highest AmblUcu. Washington, May 15.-Special: Geo. Joe Wheeler has relieved the anxiety of his constituents in thcSih Alabama district by giving them for mal notice that he will not be a candid ato for re election to Coigress this fall. He had already announced that he would not bc a candidate for the short term created by the refusal o' Spea ker Henderson to recognize hit? ere den* tials as long aa he held a commission in thc volunteer army, and who even went so far as to declare that his re signation of that commission made no difference, so long as he was holding his commission at the time Congress convened. A good many lawyers in Cqngress-better lawyers than the Speaker-believe that (?en. Henderson had no right to assume the responsi bility for keeping Wheeler out of Con gress, but thc Speaker is a Scotchman with a scotch head, and, having made up his min?? oneway, refused to change it. This statement by Gen. Wheeler is equivalent to thc announcement that President McKinley hus given him a definite promise that he is to bc given a commission in the regular army. It is well known that this has been Gen. Wheeler's greatest ambition. Such a a step will round out his career, mak ing it in many respects the most uni que in American history. Educated at West Point, ho was an officer in thc regular army when tho civil war broke out. How he followed his State and became the brillant cavalry leader of the Confederacy is history with which everybody, of course, is familiar. For a man who was a prominent Con federate leader to have won fresh lauries while wearing the blue in Cuba and the Philippines, and then to round out his career as a geneal officer in the regular army-it is indeed uni que. Ile is one man of seventy-five millions. Gen. Wheeler believes that he ia the only officer of the Confederacy who saw aotual fighting and had part in it during the war with Spain, and he believes further, that he is the only man who was a general command ing troops in tho civil war, the war in Cuba and the war in the Philippines. Is he right? He is certainly the only former Confederate to attain to suoh distinction and it is very likely that no other man in the United Statos oan show such a record. His ambition to round out his ca reer in the regular army is easily un derstood when these things are con sidered. He eould keep on going to Congress as long as he chose, and there is no certainty that when he is on the list of the army he will not again get into polities. A Tough Story From Georgia. MACON, Ga., May 20.-Word waa re ceived here to-day to the effect that yesterday morning about 3.30 o'clock a Mr. Gleaton rode out to the home of his sweetheart, a Miss Raines, about eight miles from Cordele, and was ac oompained by a friend, intending to have a wedding. When they arrived at the home of the young lady she joined them, but her father interfered and tried to induce ber not to leave him. One word brought on another, and finally a quarrel began. The young lady's brother rushed up with his pistol and oommenced to shoot at Gleaton and Gleaton's friend. Glea ton drew his pistol and shot the young lady's father, killing bim instantly. He then shot the brother. By this timo a friend of tho Raines family rushed up to try to stop the trouble and was himself shot down. Gleaton then drove away, returning to his borne, and the young lady went into her house. Since then the brother has died. The friend of the Baines family is believed to be mortally wounded, and the friend of Gleaton is in a critical condition. The situation at last re ports waa as follows: The young lady's brother and father ?re dead and the friends of the oppos ing parties are ezpeoted to die. The initials of the parties eould not be given. They were all plantera and are prominent in their communities. The killing caused a profound sensa tion and threw the entire county into a state of mourning.

To the Editor of The News and Courier: I notice Mr. Wood's arti cle in your issue of this date anent this valuable tree, whoso merits hare been long unappreciated by our peo ple. In addition to the desirable quali ties named by Mr. Wood that the Indian Pride is distinguished for there arc others still more remarkable. I will name thom with unimpeach able evideoce that what I say of it is correct: I. As a germicide and preserver. If a chest is made of thc wood the good housewife may throw all of her wool ens in it at the clo. e of spring with entire confidence that they will paBS through the hot season and open up in the fall in excellent condition, with out the aid of camphor or other insect proof substances. II. If a bedstead is made of it no bugs will infest it. III. If a chest is made of it no wcavils or other insect will attack its contents. IV. If a gun box is made of it the sportsman at the close of the hunting season may clean up his apparatus ?r.d pack it away in it with no lingering doubt but that at the beginning of another season his guns and trappings will be kept in perfect order-free from rust as well as from tho ravages of inseets. 9 Somewhere about 1850 died Mr. Francis Withers, ono of our leading rice planters of that time. Thirty years prior to that event he placed two samples of rioe, dressed and pol ished for market at his own water mill, in his two secretaries, ono io eaoh. These pieces of furniture were made, one of mahogany, the other of India Prido wood. There they re mained until thc old gentleman's death. Upon being taken out by his executors, the late Dr. James R. Sparkman and the late Franois W. Heriot, the sample from the India Prido seoretary was found in perfect condition, while that from the ma hogany was a parcel of dust, having been destroyed by ?insecte. This story was related to me by one of the aforenamed executors. The late Mr. I. R. Ford was in the habit of keep ing his gun in a case made of the India Prido. He told me that it al ways passed through the summer in fine order. I may mention the fact that I have in my house a large clothes chest made of the wood. My woolens are. plaeed in it at the close of spring. It never fails to preserve them clear of all at tacks of all insects. V. A library fitted up with Bhelvcs of the wood would be invaluable, as it would be proof against the fatal book worms.

At the annual meeting of the national board held in this city a few days ago the reports were not of a joyous and sanguine kind. The officiai figures showed that the fire losses io the United States in 1899 amounted to $153,597, 830. This startling sum surpassed by more than $23,000,000 the total of 1898, and by more than $37,000,000 that of 1897. In this State alone th? figures rose to $85,727,285, exceeding the amount in 1898 by more than $14,000,000. Insurance men feel dis turbed and disheartened over ravages of this sort. It ought to be possible to enforoe so effective precautions among the owners and guardians of insured property that the destruction by fire hereafter shall fall much below tho amountB now chronicled.? It is admit ted by broad minded and oandid ex perts that, the competition among the companies had been carried to excess, and that in thc fierce struggle for business the interests of the stock holders and the principles of sound management havo been too frequently disregarded.-New York Tribune.
