A QUEENS FANCY FOR PEARLS.

Queen AIargherita, of Italy, has a fan
cy for pearls, perhaps OH account of the
meaning of her name. Every year the
King, her husband, gives her a new
string of the finest that he can get, and
the necklace now falls in a solid mass
from below her throat to her waist. One
string on this necklace vas given her by
her young son, who could not afford to
pay for it all at time, so he arranged
with the jeweler 10 pay for it on the in
stalment plan. There is no other row
valued more highly by her Majesty

THE DOLLAR WAS GooD.-"That dollar

prominent downtown resort yesterday, as
he threw back to customer coin which
had very base ring. The customer exam.

you S. it isn't counterfeit" he said
Again the barkeeper looked it over. Then
he pulled cut roll, skinned off S.
note, threw it on the mahogany, and said
''I'l take your bot-how will you prove Jpn
The customer took the coin, peeled of thin
coating of tinfoil that had surrounded 1t. and
threw down perfect dollar. The barkeep'
er looked blank, but handed over his money.
"pl get il back again." be said 'ff you'll
show me bow iss DONE"
Perfectly willing to give his victim a
chance, the customer took out roll of thin
tin fell, cut circle the sizs oi silver dol.
lar, and put it on the face ofthe coin. Then
he rubbed it n vigorously until it took every
line of the dollar. He did the same with
the eagle side, aud then he took strip and
ran il around the milled edge, rolling
the dollar around until the milling showed
plainly. Itthep looked like silver dollar.
but it had the grsezy feeling of counterfeit
coin and its ring was scsndalously spurious.

chemist, who has figured 10 stirring scenes
in many lands.
He is nstive of Loudoun county, Virgin

the war COL McCarty went to Mexico and
fought under the ill.fstsd Macmillan.
Wbeu the bottom dropped out there, having
become acquainted with Influential French
officers, he went 10 France, where he re-
ceived good appointment 10 the army,
aad was sent to Aigiers. When the Franco
German war opened he was ordered back to
France. and fought all through that strug-
ris. receivinga severe wound IN desperate
charge.
He next received commission in the
Russian service, aud followed the fortunes
OF Skobaloff over the Balkans in the des'
perate Turkish war. Aflerwsrd he marched
with the Russian army into TuIkestan, to
within forty miles of Eerat. and helped to
locate the railroad IN that direction, which
he says Russia is laying for military pur
poses, and will finally use in it's march on
Irdia Every Russian is taught as part OF
his religion that be must get his feet on the

ACTIVITY IN THE OIL FIELDS.

The Drills Kept Busy and Several Good
Wells Expected TO Come In Soon.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcHl
BUTLER, March 2-The past week has
been characterized by great activity in oil
speculation, considering the great difficulty
in getting supplies to the field. The largest
amount of new work under way is in the VIE
cinity of Gallery junction. The railroad
traverses the heart of developments there,
enabling the operators to get lumber to their
leases without being compelled to try the
doubtful and costly experiment over almost
impossible country roads. The only omi-
nous cloud in the oleaginous heavens, out
side of the bad roads. is the unfayorable
condition OF the market.
Operations have been uniformly success
full in the several fields, and some market
breaking gushers have been brought in DUR
ing the past few days. The Forst Oil Com
papy's No. 4, on the Irvine farm at Myoma,
which attained a production of 40 barrels
an hour on Thursday, has fallen off to 10,
but is expected to recover much OF its lost
ground when the drill gets further in the
sand. The 50-barrel well recently completed
on the Thomas Anderson farm, near Mars
station, is surrounded by new rigs, eight
derricks having been erected within q
small radius in the last few DAYS. In the
1O0-foot district the same hopeful feeling
exists. The Eicholtz, Young, Cable and
Humphrey farms wells are holding up re-
markably we'll, and other wells Just enter
ing the pay streak on these farms are filling
up with oil and look very promising.
