Show "NEWSPAPERIETY." It is interesting to know how new words are coined, popularized and finally find their way into the dictionary to become part of the language of the land. The letter which follows, written by a New York man, explains itself: Messrs. Funk and Wagnalls Last night Mr. Delaney, one ofthe speakers at the political convention con-vention in Carnegie Hall, speaking of men whose . names are constantly appearing in, the newspapers, newspa-pers, Intending to say "newspaper notoriety," madea slip and safd "newspaperiety." It strikes me that this is not only a new word, but a useful one. If you, have incorporated- Mr. Dev-ery's Dev-ery's "chesty" in the Standard Dictionary, here is a word far more useful, more elegant, more expressive, ex-pressive, that should be incorporated' also.
