THE HOLY COAT.


ExpOsed to View In tho Cathe edrRl ut
Trcves.
BERLIN, Aug. 20.--The holy cont was ex-
posed to view this morning in the cathedral
ut Treves. Two Knights of Malta, in full
Costume, with drawn swords, stood on
either sidc of the shrine enclosing the case,
which was surrounded by lighted cnndles
and snrmounted by large gold cross. Tho
cathedral was richly decorated and packed
10 the doors with people. There was an
impressive scene in the sanctuary, over 100
priests assisting in tho ceremonies, which
were grand In the extreme. After an nd
dress by Bishop Korum, the nave
OF the cathedral was cleared to al
chal societies to march UP to the
shrine and venerate the relic. Then came
motley one. The unveiling of the relic
made deeply devotional impression on the
crowd of worshippers. Many were over
powered by their feelings and several
women tainted. AS the procession passed
the shrine most OF the pilgrims handed n
rosary or crucifix to the priests, for contact
with the relic, accompanied by tho low
hum of Pater Nosters and Aves. Outside
the cathedral was Il busy scene, to which
PROFESSIONS with banners and music, throngs
OF visitors, ETC., all contributed. During
VIZ WAc1S eAlAC buo AOly COAu 10 OA CAuiDA-
tion twenty excursions a day will arrive at
Treves. In order that the town may not be
overcrowded different bands of pilgrims
led by their priests will only be permitted
to reinrin one night in town.
Pictures of the holy coat are to be seen
not only in every shop window, but there
are millions of representations in all sizes,
on handkerchief. paper. earthenware,
wood and metal. The photographs are
merely reproductions of drawings pub
lished in 1874. Much comment has been
caused by the remarks of Bishop Korum, in
his opening address to-day, when he re-
ferred pointedly to the spiritual signifca7
tion of the holy coat as being seamless
vesture and symbol of the unity of the
Catholic church. There were many Roman
Catholic members of the reichstag present,
and it is said the bishop particularly ad-
dressed his remarks to those members.
The first solmn exhibition of the coat was
in 1856, when it was placed under new
altar. There it rested until 1511, when
the Emperor MaximilIian wished it to be
exhibited, ana it was done. 1t was shown
several times again during that century
and also in 1886. In the latter part of the
under Louis XVI. invaded Germany, the
precious relic was hidden in the fortress of
Ehlenbreititein, where it was kept until
after the Seven Years war. After the last
exhibition there in 1865 it was brought back
to Treves, but few years later had to be
removed into the interior of Germany when
Napoleon invaded the country. In 1916
Napoleon permitted another solemn exhl-
bition, but expressly forbade miracles to be
performed. Yet the report of that time
says gouty patients who were wheeled VI
walked away alone. Treves newspapers are
full of accounts of miracles which tool
place at the exhibition OF 1874.

DEATH IN THE STORM.
Sixty Persons Killed by the Recent Hurri
cane ut Martinique.

Sixty Persons Killed by the Recent Hurri-
cane ut Martinique.
PARIS, Aug. 2O.-Oficial advices received
here this afternoon announce that the
calamity which visited Martinique was the
most severe since the year 1917. So far as
can Le learned there were nearly, if not
quite sixty deaths as the result Of the hur-
ricane's visit, but it will be some time be-
fore the full extent of the disaster is
known. At Fort dc France alone twelve
lives were lost, and in both Forts de France
and st. Pierre, to say nothing of the coun-
try districts, there are large numbers of
people injured. At st. Pierre five persons
are known to have been killed, but it is
feared this number does not represent tho
entire loss of life in the capital. The dam
age done to shipping and property is enor-
nous. About two-ffths of the island was
under cultivation, and the mountain slope
was covered with forests. All cultivation
and all forests in the path of the hurricane
appear to have been swept away. Numer-
Gus sugar, coffee, cotton and cocoa planta-
tions in the path of the tornado seem also
to have been utterly destroyed.

DIR. j. G. Keith, of LeadviIie, Signed the
Document Afterward Destroyed.
BUTTE, Aug. 20.-[Special. The contest
ants had reserved for to-day sensation in
Davis will case. The sensation was in the
shape of witness to the will which L. W.
Knight, of Helena, said had been made in
Butte few years ago. The long-lost wit
ness for whom detectives and others had so
long been searching is John e. Keith, n
physician, living in Leadville. Col. He
lived in Butte most of the time between
1869 and 1887. He was in the employ of A.
j. Davis a number of times. He ran the
engine part of the time at the old Lexins-
ton mill. He had known E. w. knight
since 1873. The witness stated that Judge
Davis made will in April or May of 1880.
One evening at II O'Clock the judge cam
into his house, which was next to his own,
and asked him to run over for moment.
He then went out and got Caleb L. Irvine,
and told Irvine and the witness that he
wanted them to sign his will. The witness
saw Judge Davis sign it, and then he and
Irvine signed it. Il. w. Knight was in the
room at the time, but no one else. Caleb
Il. Irvine was justice of the peace
or probate judge at the time,
aud has since died. The
mental condition of A. j. Davis seemed to
be sound at the time. The witness said
that he left Leadville last Saturday night
with Judge Stnpleton, whom he met in
Denver, one of the attorneys for the con-
testRnts. The witness said he gets $40 per
day and expenses. Judge Stapleton was
put on the stand and testified that he re-
celved the information as TO the where
abouts of the witness after he had testified
last week that he had made an unsuccessful
search.
Daniel 4. Ames, of New York, pen
artist, and publisher of the Penman's Art
journal, corroborated the testimony of
experts as to inks used in the will. w. g.
Linton, of Eldon, Iowa, Il telegraph OPP
orator, testified that he had often seen
Eddy write kilograms. and he stated that
the body of the will is in the handwriting
of James Il. Eddy. The Importance of the
evidence of DIR. Deith is seen from the fact
that the latter will revoked the former will,

"Queen of the Turf" Longstreet, the
property of Michael F. Dwyer, of Brooklyn,
is the undisputed king Of the east. Riley,
having borne tho green and white of Ed.
Corrigan to decisive victory on both sides
of the Alleghanies. is the recognized cham
pion Of the west. Trainer Matt Byrnes has
already entered Firenzi; Dwyer has
promised to sign the agreement as soon as
it reaches him, and Riley ia. of course, at
the command of the Chicago Racing agso-
ciation's president. The conditions of the

Mr.. Haggin is gratifed by the Junior

bred from his young sire Sir Modred. The
fact that Sir Matthew belongs to his old
friend and associate Marcus DAILY, does
not lessen Mr.. Hapgin's pleasure in the

of Helena, created sensation in the PEN

midnight went down Montana street, in
tending to visit my friend McComas, at his
livery stable. AS I passed the corner Of
Montana and Galena streets saw two men.
One was on the upper corner. the other
standing back. One of the men thought
was policeman. He had apparently
club in his hand. He was tall of dark COM
plexion, a little estoop-shouldered and wore a
soft hat. also saw a man on Galena when

post set in about ten feet on the south side
of Galena. He was more stoutly built than
the other. He had a moustache. went

closely. passed within three feet of the
men on the lower side of the street. They
were dressed in dark clothes. One was

wore soft hat. 1 thought he had whisk-
bent forward. The whiskers were
not very long. He had nous

if he was policeman. He answered,

"Yes."

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 20.-If peace pre-
vailed throughout the rest Of the world
there would continue in all it's vindictive-
ness and unrelenting force tho prairie feud
between the oattlemen and wool growers of
this and other states. The latest outbreak
is in Carbon county. and is about the Bit
terest episode known to the history of this
natural warfare. Four flock tenders left
camp yesterday morning. One returned in
the evening early to prepare supper. He
kindlod a fire in a little sheet-iron stove
and started to Il spring for water. He had
travelled about a hundred and fifty feet
when terrific explosion made the earth
tremble and the air wave. In the little
stove had been placed u quantity of giant
powder. There was big hole in the ground
and the wagon was overturned. The cook
collected u few things and, lighting II fre
on the ground, started on with the meal.
He went into the mess box for -four and
found there that fve-ounce bottle Of
strychnine kept for coyote poison had been
sprinkled in the -four and baking powder
and on the meat. The sheep men feel like

ExpectoratiOn.

Aside from its being an exceedingly
filthy habit. the custom of free and care
less expectoration involves dangers to
health which are not generally under
stood. but which arc nevertheless In no
sense fanciful.
1t iswell established that the poison of
certain diseases appears in the expecto-
ration. The germs of consumption are
known To be minute, rod like, vegetable
bodies, visible only by the aid of the
most powerful microscope. In the mat
ter expectorated by those afflicted with
this disease these germs are met with In
large numbers. BY experiment 1t has
been determined that they arc very tena-
cious of life, and can be destroyed only
by certain fluids or by exposure to high
temperature for a considerable length Of
time.
1t is easy To sec. therefore, that IL tho
cXpectoration from tho lungs is allowed
to lie exposed till it becomes dry, the
germs will DO taken up and scattered
abroad by tho air currents, and In this
way fruitful source of contagion will
DO provided.
Fortunately most people in good health
remain unaffected by tho germs which
have found entrance into the body. II
is only when the powers Of resistance
are weakened by some defect Of tho con-
stitution, or when some un usually favor
able opportunity for infection has been
given, that the poison gains q mastery
and produces disease.
When we consider that in hall Of
moderate size, which has been occupied
by an audience for an hour or more,
theYe are millions of germs of various
kinds, some of which, under favorable
conditions, are capable of producing dis
ease, then the wisdom Of such provi-
sion of nature becomes apparent.
No doubt every one has felt certain
disgust at tho hawking and splitting
which is met with TO greater or less
extent in all public places, and it Is well
for every one to know that there are ex-
cellent sanitary reasons for the observ-
ance of rule which good breeding and
: caro- for the feelings of others ought to
b. sufficient to enforce.
IL is in the discovery Of the real causes
of disease that we shall most surely find
the valuable ounce Of prevention. If
we must expectorate, let us at least re-
train from doing TO in public Places
