Frank Buchanan, president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, arrived In Pittsburg yesterday from Indianapolis.

Mr. McCulloch. however, repeated his offer to submit the whole case to arbitration. j FILL XAME OR INITIALS. What -Mr. Riley Calls Injolntlng Bccontlnir the Custom. New York Commercial. A Georgia man stopping at ihe Marlborough Hotel talked interestingly the other evening about the "passing of Initials," as he termed the decreasing use of one or more initials instead of the full Christian name. He said that over twelve years ago a Georgia, business man of his acquaintance, who is a lyceum lecturer of local fame who occasionally mounted the platform, declared in a public address that the two most ridiculous things connected with civilized customs were the two buttons on the back of men's coats and the initials in front of men's names. "Who knows?" he !nquirec "what the W. stands for in 'Henry W. Grady?' " Since that time, slowly but surely the middle initial has been replaced by the full name. The first initial had fallen Into disuse some years before. "H. W. Longfellow" bad become "Henry W. Longfellow." This in turn, after the poet's death, was succeeded by "Henry Wadsworth Longfellow." In like manner it was not until the brilliant Georgian had passed away that the world knew him other wise than as "Henry W. Grady." The query of that lecturer would now be pointless, as the name of Henry Woodfln Grady is to-day familiar to every intelligent person in the United States. Tbis Georgian said also that this matter of initials and full names had com under considerable discussion In his State. An Atlanta politicians holds, he Faid, that the use of Initials instead of the full name seems to have had its origin In a desire for brevity, as the necessity for much writing goes without any appliance for shortening Its labor. The custom was at Its height about a century ago. "O. Wash ington, B. Franklin' these are the signatures that we find on old papers. The use of Initials was almost universal up to the latter part of the last century. Thomas Babington Macaulay called himself 'T. B. MacauluV." General Grant was known as "U. S. Grant." The war president signed his nam "A Llucoln." Whether the Invention of the typewriter was responsible for the abandonment of these senseless abre via t Ions, or whether the change was the result of the new craze for ancestors and family names, we cannot say. But about ten years ago the custom of writing one's name in full, which had up to that time been restricted to the English nobility and a few literary and public men became a kind of social fad, and spread rapidly among all classes. It is now the commonest thing In the world to find a successful grocer, who has always been known as "P. P. Jenks" renting a better house and heralding the movements of himself and wife as those of "Mr. and Mrs. Paul Pangbourne Jenks." Unlike most fads, the writing of. one's name in full Is a sensible and proper one. There is no use iu giving a man a name if he is to bury It in a pair of Initials. Full names are also much less HablA to become confused. The passing of initials, while not yet complete by any means, is making rapid progress, and we are glad to see it. THE SEAMY SIDE OF LIFE, Tragedy of the Educated Woman Who Itad to Scrub for a Living'. Washington Post. A gentlewoman died, virtually of starvation. In ouo of the hospitals of this town a couple of weeks ago. She had made a brave fight for a good many years to take care of herself and her aged mother the mother was nearly eighty-five years old when the daughter succumbed to the hardships of her lifo. Mother and daughter were of an excellent old Georgetown family. The daughter was reared in luxury. When her father died, leaving his affairs involved, she was a cultivated and exceedingly well educated woman, but possessed of no practical method of earning a livelihood for herself and her mother. But fhe battled along as best she knew how for a long number of years, barely contriving to keep the wolf, from the door. Four or live years ago she obtained a place as scrub-woman In one of the departments, and she was grateful for thj pittance of J3u or $23 a month which her hard work brought in. Although she was a slight woman and not in any wise robu.t. she never made any complaint about the character of her scrub-womau's Job. But she lost this Job. A female clerk accused the gentlewoman with the scrub-woman's billet of having abstracted 5 cents from her, the female clerk's purse. The gentlewoman was about as capable of stealing as she was of begjring and she never begged. But the female clerk's accusation put her on the street, all -the same. For several morilm prior to her death, the gentlewimau had been endeavoring to do a little business in the dolly and bu-reau-carf l'ne. She was a fine needlewoman, having picke J that up in the convent where she received her education. She would spend fibout a day and a half in contriving a little lace tidy or dolly or bureau-scarf, and then she would go out and try to sfll It for S5 cents. She sold a few of them, but not enough. Her old mother found the daughter on the floor of their bare, bleak room. In a spam of starvation, a couple of weeks ago. The gentlewoman was taken to a hospital, and there she died a couple of days later "lack of proper food," the doctor said. The female clerk who obtained the gentlewoman's discharge from her scrubwoman's birth on the charge of theft re-

turned from a month's visit at the seashore not long ago. She looked quite tanned and buxom.

LOST IN THE HURRICANE SEVERAL VESSELS WRECKED ALOX NORTH CAROLINA COAST. Crew of a Barge Lost Many Person Rescued by the Llfe-Savina- Corp Other Wrecks Probable. NORFOLK. Va., Oct li-The first new from the Carolina coast since the beginning of the hurricane last night dispels the hope that the treacherous shoals between Currituck and Hatterts have not claimed their quota of Ill-fated craft. Two vessels ar3 known to have been lost on that stretch of the coast and further rejorts are expected to bring news of more wrecks, as at this time three schooners are . missing with one barge. Two schooners and h barge in addition to those wrecked between Cape Henry and Dam-Neck were lost during Thursday and Friday. The crews of the schooners were naved, but the barge went down with all hands on board. The tug Buccaneer, Capt.

Sunday the life pavers succeeded iu shooting a line across the wreck and rescuing the c.-ptSn and crew of seven men. It Is estimated that the carg of. lumber carried by the schooner Rom was worth more thn pi.COO. The three-masted schooner J. B. Hidden, of Suffolk, is ashore near Fnlw Cape. Va., and is a tot&l loss. Her captain, V. O. Cranmer. of Suffolk, and her crew wr taken oft by the life savers. The Holden was heavily laden with lumber and an attempt to save at least a portiou vt her cargo will be made. DOCTOR IX SCALES. Putty and Other Devices I'sed to G1t Short Meaaure. New York Tribune. "You can depend upon It that In any city where there is not an efficient bureau of weights and measures the poor are being defrauded." said James B. Reynolds before the Summer School of Philanthropy. "This is true of all classes, but especially of th poor, for when a man is down there are ten times as many people ready to hit him as when he Is up." Mr. Reynolds had been asked, as secretary to the mayor, to epeak on municipal action in relation to the welfare of the poor. He was fortified with an array of balances possessed of a profit-making bias, of gouged-out weights and loaded scale pans, and what he had to say about the bureau of licenses and weights and measures was particularly illuminating, for In few cities is any Importance attached to tuts field of municipal activity. "These bureaus." said Mr. Reynolds, "deal primarily with businesses in which the two parties to a transaction do not meet upon an equal footing, ns In the pawnshop, employment agency and pushcart peddling. Here is a scale pan taken front a pnshcart stand. It was used In weighing out cherries, and the four or five Inches of putty which lined the inside of the thing were placed there for a purpose. You paid for so many cherries and for so much putty when you bought of that dealer. Sometimes a metal ring takes the place of the putty. "Recently there was an Investigation of the weighing in the fish market, where the pushcart men were obliged to congregate on account of the Insanitary conditions prevailing on the street. Out of fifty-three spring scales twenty-eight were short two ounces or more. One man's scales -were short twelve ounces. The method of weighing with these scales was to jounce the pan up and down while the weight was being taken. The needle was sooner or later eure to pass the flrure bargained for. but the purchaser never knew whether It belonged there or not. Now we Insist on a stationary beam, so that the weighing process is not such a spring board exercise." Speakingof the fraudulent weighing In the sale of coal In Iondon Mr. Reynolds said: "I believe that even worse practices prevail here, because we are more clever and enterprising than the Enrllsh." In conclusion, Mr. Reynolds pointed out the relation between private and public effort for the welfare of the poor. "Government must be more or les conservative he said. "It Is the province of private philanthropic enterprise to experiment, while the government should stand readjr to draw from the experience so gained, doing for the many what private philanthropy has done for the few. Eome of th best work of the municipal government la New York has been due to the initiative of the Charity Organization Society, the Settlements and other organizations." An Indiana Product.
