The Unlucky Opal.

''The prejudice against opals may
be dying ont, but great many people
still hold to the belief that they bring
bad luck" said jeweler the other
day. II could tell you of q little Incl
,eSsAt that occurred here that may make
you wonder whether some people do
not manage to get themselves born
three centuries too late. 4 man came
here with ring that had q beautiful
opal set in it, and told me to take out
the stone and let him see some other
gem to put in its place. I asked him
if he was going to get rid of the opal
altogether, and he said he was going
to destroy it. was rather surprised,
and said:
...Don't do that; I'll give you $50
for it
He declared that be didn't want
money for it; that it had brought him
nothing but bad luck since he bought
it; that he had failed in business and
lost two of his children, and ali, of
course, on account of a little piece Of
stone. l went over to that bench and
took the opal out of its setting, and
while looking at the ring l laid the
GEM on the bench beside me. AS quick
as flash that man picked up ham
mer that was lying among the too:s
and hit the stone whack that smash
ed it into o thousand pieces. There
was nothing left. Then he said
.There!' in satisfied manner. It's
too bad, for the opal is one of the pref
tiest gems in the world. ."-NeaO York

'MB. COOPER today said to News re-
porter: 4 don't care whether there is an inves-
tigation or not. The committee would find
every dollar, or mighty good substitute. Of
course don't carry all Of it here in this safe,
and I'm afraid that what's here is not secure;
but have the money on special deposit in the
banks. 1t is my money and cannot be used
by the banks or jeopardized by panic.
The above is in the News of yesterday. 1t
is change of front, a change that was indi-
Gated when the Sentinel fell into line and
said an investigation of the affairs of the State
treasury must be had. The appearance of
that article was sufficient to cause the COM
ment that things had been arranged
so that legislative committee could
be safely welcomed to an examina-
ton of the public funds, or of the
"collaterals," which Mr.. Cooper says he holds
for a part of the money But the statement
of Mr.. Cooper, as given above, is remarkable.
He says 'it is my money" Is that so9 If so,
why does he give bond9 What law makes
the State money his money! He also says it
Cannot be used by the banks, or
jeopardized by panic" Is that
an honest statement Does Mr. Cooper
pretend to believe that the banks do not fuse"
the money he deposits with them, and that it
cannot be "jeopardized by panic" Will he
say that none of the State money or "my
money" as he calls it, has been fused by
banks and "jeopardized by panics" If his
money is merely on deposit for safe keeping
and is not FUSED by the banks why
is there occasion for ''collateralsY" Do
people take ''collaterals" for money simply
placed in bank-vault for safe-keeping and
not FUSED by the banka' Finally, does Mr.
Cooper desire to convey the impression that
the banks which receive deposits of
public moneys do not pay interest
upon them9 If they do pay interest
on such deposits, does Mr.. Cooper
think he can make anybody believe that the
banks do not Fuse the money! Do banks pay
interest on money they take simply for safe
keeping, and are not permitted to "useP"
Is not the public moneys on de-
posit in banks FUSED by the banks, "
and as much 'jeopardized by a panic"
as any other money! 1t looks to us as though
Mr. Cooper has endeavored to throw dust in
the eyes of the public in this statement if he
is correctly reported, and, if that be the case,
the Importance and necessity of thorough
investigation of the affairs of his office become
more imperative than ever.

New YORK and Pennsylvania are making
faces at each other over the beggarly display
made by those States at the New Orleans ex-
position. Pennsylvania claims to have goods
enough on the grounds to make creditable
exhibit, but is not able to secure an appropri-
alton of funds which will enable the managers
to unpack and arrange them. New York
could raise any amount of money, perhaps,
but has prepared no exhibits. 1t would seem
by such showings as these that the bad man

are not entirely due to ineficiency at the
