The Illinois courts have begun a cru

In the first bout, according to the dis
patches, with the gas trust in Chicago
the law prevailed to certain extent,
and if the success is followed up it can
be made complete. And if successful in
this instance it may be in every other
that is undertaken. The principle OF
trusts is ininical to the public welfare;
laws have been enacted condemning it

unanimously sustains the law, and as a
result the trusts must go.

agonizing suspense of two weeks or more

turned over to the tender consideration
of the befuddled jury. 1t is getting to
be debatable question whether the ac-
cused or the jury are entitled to the

at issue. it is, perhaps, not much more

must be expressed that the predictions

Torture in BOkhara.

The report that the amir of Bokhara
has ordered the abolition of torture in
his kingdom, in honor of the czar's es-
cape from death in a railway accident,
will suggest painful memories to Eng
lishmen. The commonest form of tor
ture in Bokhara is confinement in the
s.black WE'LL" where the luckless victim
is devoured by vermin. This was the
fate of Stoddart, who was afterwards
put to death along with Connolly by
the present amir's grandfather. Other
cruelties, too, were practiced by 1.-The
butcher" as he was fifty called. Men
were thrown down from high walls or
towers, We're flayed alive, or roasted in
ovens. Mr.. George Curzon, at the last
meeting of the Royal Geographical
society, showed a photograph of the
tower from which criminals are still
flung, and he expressed a hope that this
barbarous punishment would before
long be abolished. Torture is by no
means uncommon in the Indian native
states; indeed, Sir Lepel Griffin de-
scribes it as a recognized form Of judi
cial procedure. He mentions the case
of a ruling chief who was openly ac-
cused of having the acrid juice of
chillies squeezed into the eyes Of reluc-
tant witnesses. ''He was an old gentle
man." Sir Lepel says, ''of the most soft
and courteous manners, and the idea
that chillies could be objected to as a
means of judicial investigation did not
seem 10 have occurred to him."--St.
James Gazette.

THE FAITHFUL,
OR A PERSIAN LOVE STORY.
The Star Of His Heart-The-Shadow-oE
Observation-Disclosures Fidelity
of True Love.

One midday, a little less than 200
years ago, the people of the town of
Naishapur were concluding the noon
prayer which each devout Moslem re-
cites before eating his second meal.
1t was in that prosperous period
when the expulsion Of the Turks from
the province of Kborassan was almost
an old story-one of the many legends
of patriotic conquest told of the war
like Shah Abbas-and when the newer
invasion by as fierce q foe was as yet
in the MISUNDERSTANDING
The brilliant sun, now right over
head, drew a burning line along the
middle of lengthy streets, whose pro-
lecting roofs and ov~erhanging balloon
les of latticed wood kept them at all
other times Of the day in complete
shadow. Through the open gates
could be seen to the east of the city a
stretch of dusty desert. From the
north and southwest broken hills,
clothed with gently swaying trees,
conveyed a pleasant suggestion of
GOODNESS to the thirsty townsfolk. Re-
Elected from these burning lines and
spots where the sun could intrude only
at high noon, the light cleaned on the
softly Swallowed, richly colored walls
OF the prosperous persian city. From
the lusirous tiles of purple porcelain
~encrusting gorgeous mosques, on whose
walls the name of Allah was blazoned,
linked with q thousand epithets, even
to the rags of beggar and peddler,
chastened color glowed everywhere.
But the focus of the city's heaped gor-
geousness was in the great market
with its many ~bazaars, where the pull
sations of the business were even now
s~lackening into the repose of noontide;
for it was then too hot even for an &C
climatiZed Oriental to work, and, the
hour having been proclaimed, labor
rapidly subsidized.
A little longer than elsewhere its
hum and clatter hung about the stalls
where fruit and other kinds of food
were sold. In the bazaar of the brass
workers the change from clatter to
hush was sharply defined. Mosto of the
brass-workers went home to pray and
eat, and then to sip coffee and smoke
in the company of their wives. A few
who were lazy, or whose homes were
distant and unattractable, bought food
at the cook-shops and carried it to the
stall of a popular merchant who kept
coffee and Kalian OR hubble-hubble
ready for all corners.

strip of hammered brass that eircled
the finger like a ring. 1t had been
twisted together while on the finger,
and pressed it so tightly that the flesh
was red and inflamed on each side of
it. 1t must have hurt him constantly,
and the rag-wrapping, which he pres
emily soaked in water and replaced,
was necessary as a bandage.
His thoughts went awayto her whose
present to him was this little circle OF
pain-to the hour when she had care
lessly given it to him, and then back
to the moment when he had first seen
her; the moment when his soul was
born.
And again at the recollection, as
then at the reality, his breath paused
and his heart stood still with wonder
ing delight at her l~ovliness and the
depth of her eyes.
Except those eyes her face was
always yelled, as she used to pass
through the brass-workers' bazaar al
most daily on her way into the market.
But, when she came to appreciate the
homage of Selim's obeisance, to return
his s~alutation, even to linger for a few
moments beside his little stall, the veil
would yield to view some rounded
contour Of olive cheek Or dimpled hint
of the neighborhCod of lips.
Que day-one of such days az come
perhaps in a happy lifetime-she came
to make a purchase of Selim, and lin
gered for an hour, playfully making
him teach her the way he wrought in
brass, asking the use of the grounds of
lead or of pitch and of all the little
punches and dies with which he i'm
pressed the ductile metal. One lit
tie die, freshly made and
yet used, Selim showed her; a
die that dinted a tiny whorl
pattern. She tried this upon q shred
of brass, Selim shielding with his w
the little hand that held the tool, lest
she should miss her stroke with the
hammer and crush her tiny fingers.
Once and again she did miss her aim
and the hammer fell smartly on Selim's
hand, so glad to be wounded to pro-
tect the precious little fingers it sur
rounded. Having finished this sport,
she relinquished the die to Selim, aud
he swore he would use it on NO other

A Blind Bridal Pair.

Every pleasant evening. in that hour
just before twilight which we all love
to idle away with inconsequential
thoughts and observations, there
passes my window a couple that great
ly interests me. The lady is but q
young girl it seems and she has such a
pretty face, so white and peaceful,
with something of sadness in it, some
thing of JOY.
She has greaS eyes that stare strange
ly at you, and at the sound of her
companions voice their lids are drop
ped and the long, graceful eyelashes
fall upon her cheeks. The man re-
minds me of one of the old Sax
ons. He is big and strong and has the
curly golden hair and the big blonde
beard of that race of men. His COM
paniOn hangs OF his arm and yet he
seems to depend upon her as much as
she on him, for they cling very close
ly indeed together, while he carefully
picks their way out with a light cane.
Both are blind. l inquired about
them the other day. Neither ever
saw the light of day. Neither can
e know how glorious the sunlight
is, how prettily blend the beautiful
hues of the flowers, how grand all ma
ture looks. Neither ever saw the 9th
er! and yet they are q bridal pair.
They only live in a world of dark
ness and each other. They met long
ago, became d~evotedly attached to
each other and were married. And so
now every evening, when the weather
is fine, they go out for a little stroll
and as they slowly, carefully walk
past my window 1 think: ut is a sad
and yet pretty sight-a blind bridal
party."-Toledo Blade.

the Cairene dropped his pipe stem and
grabbed both the child's hands; the
right surrendered its gift, the left re-

a threat from the others dog-like

to his booth, and the laughter of his
comrades was an act of homage to the
Cairene's rough joke. The descendant
of the prophet continued to sob on his
shop steps, the othe:s chatted, the
Egyptian munched and smoked; Sc

IDENTIFY in the habit of eavesdropping,
for he did not draw attention to him
self by looking round to see if he were
the object of it, but walked quietly to
Selim's booth, drew the curtain
stealthily a little aside, and looked
eagerly in. His eye was caught and
held by a piece of work that lay on the
craftman's lap-a large and beautifully
proportional perfume-holder of brass,
of that rich colored oriental brass with
much copper in it that is far mellower
than the sharper yellow amalgam of
western civilizations. 1t was pierced
in lace-like designs, the piercing itself
a monument of patient art; the I'M
pierced portions were incised with deli
cate scrollwork, with strange oil beau
tiful figures, and with graceful inscrip-
tons whose characters were fantastic
ally interlaced. The stranger drew in
his breath at the sight of the treasure,
and his eyes glared wolf-like with the
longing to clutch and possess.

you lack the dry fresh air of Persia,

swiftly, disappointment filling his race
as he realized the bearded and ill
omened countenance that gloated over
his work.
"Has Allah made the day too short

The Largest Wheel Ever Made.

The largest wheel of the kind ever
made in this country, and probably
the largest of any kind, is now in
course of construction at the machine
shops of the Dickson Manufacturing
Company, at Scranton, Pa. 1t is what
is called a sand wheel and is being
made for the Calumet and Hecla Cop
per Company, of the Lake Superior
region. The great wheel will be SO
feet in diameter and several feet wide,
and the Dickson Manufacturing Com
pany will get $40, 900 for it. 1t is be-
ing built around a twenty inch hOl-
low shaft of gun metal and it will
weight between $50 and 100 tons when
completed. When the great wheel is
put in place at the copper mines it
will be made to revolve slowly by
means of enormous cOgs on the sur
face of its circumference. These cogs
are being cast in segments and will
weigh many tons in the aggregate.
On each side of the mammoth wheel
there will be fifty buckets, each of
which will hold about one hundred
gallons, and these buckets will elevate
the washings and dump them into a
~sluiceway. After the great wheel has
been built up and the finishing touch
es have been put ON it will be taken
apart and shipped. Every piece will
be numbered, so that there will no
trouble in putting the wheel together,
and it will take eight or ten cars to
transport it.-Philadelphia Record.
