There Is . legend eoneeraing the
death OF solomon, alluded To in the Ko-
ran and found in the Chronicle Of Ia,
bari, which is to the following effect:
solomon employed the genii in build
ing the temple. but p~erceiving that his
end vas nigh at hand. prayed tod that
his death might be concealed from the
genI until the wosk was finished. for
solomon knew that if he died. and the
genii knew Of his death. they would
leave of building. Therefore he made
himself a staff from 4 tree in his gar
den, and leaning upon this staff. with
his head bowed in alteration, he died
IN the temple. His soul was taken
50 gently from him that the body
remained standing, so remaining
for oae whole year: those who saw
him thought he was absorbed in PRAYER
and they dared o approach him. Still
the genii worked night and day until
the temple was completed, thinking
they were being watched in every detail
by The master, whose eyes had MANI

New YORK, October 23.-The Com
mittee on Fine Arts of the Worlds CO.

preliminary arrangements for securing
an exhibit Of fine art from the treasures

it would be unwiSe to incur any expense
until after the meeting of the National
Commission, which is to be held in Chi

then be fully prepared to arrange for
the necessary appropriations.
A motion was adopted referring the
selection of the manager of the Fine Art
Department to a committee composed OF
Chairman Bullock and MesSrs. Ellsworth
and Wilson, who will report to the full
committee in Chicago November IS.
After discussing various matters OF de-
tail, the committee adjourned to meet
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in the

The relations of the two committees are
so intimate that they have decided to
meet i'm the same locality.

SOME DOUBT ABOUT 1T,
The story That George Teaters Was IN
Another Robbery.

There seems 70 be some doubt as Ia
the story that George Teaters and Bush
Durr robbed james Butler, a farmer
of Nottingham township, Washington
county. of about $50, on September 18th.
When Mr.. Butler visited the Washing
ton county jail, according to last even
ing's Rcportcr he failed To recognize
Teaters, and asked to have him pointed
out, which request was refused. The
Petroleum Exchange prints an interview
with Butler, i'm which he said:
"On September II, between eight an,
nine o'clock p. m, was aroused by SOM

then told his partner 10 20 through the
house but failed TO get anything Tor his
trouble. They then departed, going IN the
direction of the B. Il O. railroad Mr.
Butler. US soon as he thought IT safe, sum-
moned his neighbors, who gave chase but
failed to come uD with them"
The same paper adds that Mr.. Butler
said that Durr had worked for him two
or three months, about year ago, and
when he left he stole revolver, which
he identified as one that was used to put
him in subsection. The revolver was Of
a peculiar make and he could not be
mistaken. As to Durr. he could tell
him by his voice and his familiarity
with the house. The other one had a
peculiar walk and hc thought from the
glimpse he got Of Teatcrs he was the
man.
