During the civil war which followed he was
a member of Governor Yates staff, and
made frequent trips with the Illinois war
governor to the front in the interest of the
state troops. In the struggle over state
constitution submitted by a convention to the
people of Illinois Col. Carr took an important
part, speaking frequently. Since that time
he has been a prominent political stump

How to Display Choice Gems.

Elsie Bee tells, in Jewellers Circular, that
q fashion lately introduced for the better dis
play of very choice gems, and thought by
many to be something new under the SUM-"
is, in point of fact, modification of an old
style indulged in by English danes many,
many years ago The fashion is for an own
er of fine gems to match her own fair or dark
tresses, as the case chances TO be, with bands
Of hair, TO which single stones, set in gold or
silver, are securely attached. These gem
laden bands are threaded in with the coiffure
and produce a decidedly novel effect. The
old fashion alluded 70 was that OF fine hair

BISHOPS LAST WRITING.
FAC-SIMILE OF THE WORD "TOUN-
SAND" AS HE WROTE 1T.

Together with Some Hitherto Unpublished
Anecdotes of His Life and His Acquire
ments and Achievements-Matter That
Will Be Sure to Interest Most Readers.
Washington Irving Bishops secret died
with him
Not only today and tomorrow, but until
another such as ne arises, will discussion con-
tinue as to the character Of the mysterious
power which he seemingly possessed Brown,
the Philadelphian, who twelve years ago was
the first TO claim the title Of mind reader, and
Wallace L. Hight, the ambitious but only
partially successful eRulator of Bishop, were
transparently Of that not uncommon class Of
performers who are best described as ''mus-
Gle readers" They both retired from public
exhibitions, which they found Improbable
because they invariably failed in their per-
formances unless they happened to select a
subject SO nervous and impressionable that
be would unavoidably lead them to the hidden
object. But with Bishop it was far differ
ent. 1t appeared to make little difference
with him as to who was the medium of his ex-
per1ments, and while many Of them are ex-
plainable on the easily understood and demon
strable theory Of muscle reading, there are
many strange things accredited to him which
are not explainable upon that hypothesis.
Those versed In the art of necronancy diff
fer as to whether Bishop was merely trick
ster or an abnormally gifted being, endowed
with sense whose keen perceptibility is not
within the comprehension of meaner mortals.
The testimony Of those who have been
closely associated with the dead man has an
interesting bearing on this question. Dixey,
the comedian, whose guest Bishop was at the
Lambs club in New FORK, where he found his
end, has long been intimate with him. Dixey
is himself a necromancer of ability. In card
tricks and other sleight of hand performances
he has few superiors, even among professional
prestidigitateurs, and he frequently anazes
his friends by his adeptness as biindfolded
muscle reader. He has consequently studied
Bishops nlarvels with much interest. 'Bish-
op," he says, twas really a great man. l
mean that seriously. never expect TO meet
his equal in his peculiar phase Of what must
have been an abnormal mental development.
While he never publicly figured as a sleight
of hand performer, he was one of the great
est living experts Of that class and much of
what he did which was most mysterious was
entirely due to consummate trickery. Yet

dignifed forms, fine Aryan heads and clear
cut scholarly faces was such as to delight any
man who takes even the smallest interest in
anthropology. The philosophical theory that
mems religion is very largely determined by
their mental and physical makeup was over
whelmingly demonstrated there; and any close
observer looking down from the gallery must
have said: "Whatever else it may be, Presby-
terianism is assuredly logical system. Ad-
NIT their premises and such men as these can

pembers of the denomis alton, was greeted
by that quiet but joyful murmur which is
the Presbyterian for applause" and it was
not TIL late in the afternoon, when relg-
ion as such had given way to business and
business had considerably relaxed, that the
assembly venturned to clap hands and laugh
aloud. The occasion.was the witty speech Of
the moderator in reply to Warner Van Nor
den; the latter, lneal descendant of Eve
rardus Bogardus, the first minister who ever
preached Oh Manhattan Island, presented
with a neat and rather formal address
gavel made from the tinbers Of the old
Dutch church, and the moderator made
most happy impromptu reply, combining the
synod of bort, the stiffness of Dutch Calvin
ism and the fact that Dutch blood is still
found in the ''Van" of civilization in one para
graph that convulsed the assembly.
DR.. Howard Crosby's church, at the cor
ner Of Fourth avenue and Twenty-second
street, is plain to the very extreme of Calvin
istic simplicity; but it is spacious, and its
acoustic qualities are SO good that every word
