Edmond de Nevers, a French Canadian student, has written a book entitled "L'Ame Americaine" American in which are advanced some exceedingly interesting theories as to our national characteristics and tendencies. He finds from the immigration statistics that the Irish race has contributed to our population greater numbers than any other save the German, and he points out that, judged by its prominence in public affairs, this Irish element surpasses any other in solidarity and influence. M.

de Nevers traces to this Irish influence certain habits of thought regarded as peculiarly American. He declares that not until after the great Irish immigration did American humor, for example, take that national cast which differentiates it from British humor. He believes that the American people, after startwith Anglo-Saxon traits, are gradually being transformed into a distinctly Celtic type. Ferdinand Brunetiere, the famous French critic, has based upon M. de Nevers' book an elaborate essay, in which he seeks to define "the American spirit," which, he holds, is largely of Anglo-Saxon inheritance, but is not so much racial: as institutional, and Insists that the term "Anglo-Saxon" is a misleading designation of the Amenican people as now constituted.

He sees in the United States the triumph of institutions over races. As Latin Institutions fused Gauls, Franks and Normans into a compact French nationality, he says, so Irish, German, Slav and Latin, all yielding to the American spirit, have been fused by Anglo-Saxon institutions into an American nationality. However we may regard M. Brunetiere's theories, no American can find fault with his definition of Americanism, which he finds to consist in a practical ideal of democracy--in an insistence upon legal and political equality which differs from the doctrinaire equality of French democracy no less than it differs from the persistent aristocracy of British ideals. In its preference for individual initiative and its care for individual rights M.

Brunetiere finds that the American spirit differs from French democracy, which tends to sacrifice the individual to the state or the family and in its zeal for equality often destroys liberty. This spirit, M. Brunetiere holds, is the solvent of inpouring races and promises the eventual triumph of American nationality over all its competitors. All this is interesting and gratifying. The essential thing, however, is that the American spirit shall be, and continue through passing generations, bust, progressive and righteous.

The marvels of the century, just closed have been so great that the world is willing to listen respectfully to almost any proposition as to possible developments of the present century, though It can hardly take seriously the suggestion of Dr. H. P. Pratt, the Chicago ray specialist, who insists that withIn a few years it will be possible after reducing coal to a gaseous form to send it through the air on an electric circuit, to be reduced at the place of destination to a solid and to be sold as coal with all the original qualities of the product dug from the mines. This is on a par with the assertion of a northwestern locomotive engineer who declared that during a cold snap the smoke from the engine was frozen into solid chunks of coal and falling back Into the tender was turned over and over again.

Married Thirty-one Years. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Daugherty celebrated on Saturday last their thirty-first anniversary of married life, at their home in Rostraver township. Their union was blessed with eight children, seven of whom are living and were present on this Joyous, occasion.

Mc Vey, wife, and daughter, of Rostraver township. Mr. Mrs. Daugherty were the recepients of two handsome chairs. Before leaving for their homes the guests were invited to partake of a most bounteous dinner.

All wished the couple many years of happy life, and that they would meet again next year on such another gladsome occasion. Lost $200. A. D. Swart, a Washington county farmer, sold his coal land last week and went to Pittsburg to get the money.

Before he got home a pickpocket got $200 of the cash. Swart afterwards learned that he would have been robbed of all his money by highwaymen had he not been delayed by the pickpocket. Plans had been laid to waylay him. ROLL OF HONOR. Pupils Who Were Neither Absent Nor Tardy During the Month.

ORR, Teacher. A Cuban Enters W. J. Francisco Diaz, a Cuban, has matriculated as a student in the preparatory department of Washington and Jefferson college. Young Diaz is about 15 years of age and has become student in the junior class at the academy.

His appearance in Washington excited considerable comment among the college men and others who have seen the boy at school, says the Observer, and he is an object of more or less curiosity. reDiatie a both native living. of Cuba The where boy's his father pais said to have been a general in the Cuban army during the late insurrection on the island and served his country well. The young student is not a native of Havana however, but comes from a smaller town in the interior of the island. Soon after the close of the Spanish war he expressed the desire to go to the United States and take a complete course in an American college.

At his request his father decided to send him to this country and allow him to take a college or university course. He did not leave however, for some time, but applied himself to the study of the English language. Later he came to the United States, arriving at New York last spring. He left in charge of prominent Cuban, a friend of his father who was to provide for his education. Diaz first entered a preparatory, his school studies in New there York for City several months.

The manner in which he came to enter Washington and Jefferson is somewhat peculiar and is said to be due the influence of a former student and alumnus of the institution. While in New York he became acquainted with a Pittsburg man who was in the national metropolis and the two became fast friends. The Pittsburg man. to come to Washington and a enter Washloyal to alma mater, urged the bor ington and Jefferson college. After some persuasion.

the boy was induced to come here and matriculate He arrived in Washington the first of the week and was immediately enrolled as a student in the preparatory department. Diaz is dark featured and has the characteristic appearance of the Spaniard or Cuban. He has not yet fully mastered the English language, but is a hard student and gives indications of speedily adopting American ways and methods. Diaz is said to be unusually bright with an inquiring turn of mind. Already he is popular among his class mates, and intends to complete the college course here.

Want Six More Towboats. The fact that the river coal combine the last two has failed to send South more half the coal it had rises, loaded has given rise to a report that the company intends either buying or building five or six more tow boats. It was said at the office of the combine yesterday that such a scheme has been suggested, that it has not come up for official consideration yet. That more could be used to advantage under existing conditions is acknowledged by the river coal nen, but they say that ordinarily they are not SO heavily stocked up with loaded coal craft as at present. There are only about enough pilots here to handle the boats now running, which would be a serious drawback to any material increase in the number of steamers.
