to 5,000 men and boys had gathered.
Thlrty-flvo policemen, under tho
command of Captain Mooney, wero on

that followed hero, scores of women
and children on the outskirts of tho
mob In Fillmore street wore hurled to

THE GAELIC TONGUE.
Peculiarities of the Language of the
Highland Scotch.
There are In tSnellc no neuter nouns.
They are nil cither nitiHculIno or femi
nine. Sun, moon, ntnr, tree, rock, stoue,
etc., are feminine iiouuh; sky. lrf hlrd,
fish, honse, barn, etc., aro masculine.
A hill Is masculine; a mountain, femi
nine. The ocean Is masculine; the sea
Is feminine. Strange to say, the yord
for "a female" Is a uiaucullne noun
and the word for "u manservant" a i
feminine. Hut these two curious ex
ceptions stand practically alone. I
In the construction of sentences
Gaelic Is very dlffereut from English.
I'eople who know enough about tho
language to make dangerous use of It
will toll you, for lirtance, that In
Gaelic you havo to talk backward. By
this Is meant that you do not begin by
using the samo word that you would
boglu with in English. In 'Gaelic tho
verb comes before tho noun and tho
noun before the adjective. Thus, If
you were going to say "A wise man
shuns evil companions" you would ar
range your words in this order: 'Shuns
a man wise companions evil." This
way of putting tho verb nt tho very
beginning of a sentence Is really bet
ter than having it follow the nouu.
Holng tho word of tho sentence, It
stands In its proper place. To tho
hlghlander English Is the language
that Is spoken backward.
