HE FEARED THE OPAL.
Father Mollinger Believed That
the Gem Shed a BaIefuI Power.

Fatner MOlt1nger BelIeVeO I6at
the Gem Shed a Baleful Power.
The belief that the opal sheds bale
full influence found supporter even in
the late Father Mollinger, the venerable
prieSt-phySlcian of worldwide fame.
Almost since the opal was known super
stition has clung to it, and it has been
so held by persons in every condition of
life. The way it became known that
the famous priest held this superstition
was as follows:
Last winter one of Alleghany's lead
ing physicians lay sick for months. DR..
Cyrus King attended him. The two had
been friends all their lives, and DR..
King watched almost night and day
until he brought his friend back to
health. On his recovery he presented
DR.. King with splendid opal set in
pearls. The pin was unique piece Of
Jewelry, and was very handsome.
DIR. KIM was also physician for Rev.
Father Mollinger. One night, shortly
before the great priests death, the doc
tor was summoned to the pretty par

powerless. He asked the doctor to come
again the next day, but Mr.. King in
formed him he was to leave for New
York that night.
The venerable priest was lying on his
bed with his eyes half closed. just then
an attendant turned up the light and
DR.. King moved forward to say good
bye. At that the priest caught sight of
the eyer-changing colors of the baleful
stone.

rising IN his bed. st is sure to bring

Why do you wear it?"
The doctor explained the story Of the
gem, but all the tims ,Ge venerable
father grew more excited. Finally he
said: IF you wear that stone to New
York you will never come back alive.''
The doctor insisted on wearing It,
however. and the priest took the gem
and blessed it. Then, returning it, he
said: when you come back [ will
give you pin worth wearing"
On his return the aged priest was as
good as his word, and the doctor was
presented with a magnificent diamond

to remove the opal and put in the dia.
mOnd, but he forgot, and, when hur-
great priest, he still wore the opal. The
father al once noticed it, and remarked
Its flashes seem to make me weaker
The stone bodies ill.," Gradually he
sank, and the doctor bent over him to
catch the faint beating of his hear t.
The fathers eyes opened, and rested on
the fitful colorings of the strange stone,
and, watching it, his spirit went out.

Saving Lots of Lumber

The report of the surveyor general
covering the output of the boom for
August is completed, and the total of
logs turned through is not only the
greatest months record for the year, but
the greatest months record ever made
here. For July the record was 500, $50
logs, scaling 59,Sl4050 feet. For August
the output is COZ, $40 logs. scaling 67. 442,-
$40 feet. This exceeded the output of
August. 1891, by nearly 100000 feet.
while the output last season up to Sept. /
falls below this years record 10 the same
date by little more than 10000, 600
feet. The mills have sawed these logs
as rapidly as they have been turned
through, and with the mills reduced by
TWO, more logs have been cared for dur
ing the month past than during the cor
responding month OF last year. Unless
some unforeseen hindrance is encoun-
tered the lumber cut at this point will
not fall below that of last year. and
may go few million feet beyond it.

The city committee of the Peoples
party met last night and issued call
for primaries and a city convention.
The primaries will be held Wednesday
evening, the 2Sth, and the convention
the following day, the goth.
The Populists talk as if they intend to
nominate a full city ticket. Because
their offer to fuse on municipal Judge
was not accepted by the Democrats last
Wednesday they are mad, and act as if
their desire is to injure the candidate of
the only party that ever did anything
for their cause in the city council. All
summer long the Populists have
been bowling mo fusion, no
Endorsements; nothing but Peo-
pies party nominations" In their
county convention last Monday that cry
was repeated and emphasized by the
strongest language of which the leaders,
A. s. Edwards, Tom Lucas and HI. 3.
Martin were capable. Especially in
temperate were their denunciations of
Democrats. When the Democrats de-
cided to follow the example of the Pop
uliSts ana make only straight party
nominations, the Populsts became
warm under the neck bone and said
they had been insulted." They talk
of nominating McDaniels, miller, for
mayor. They do not know yet that he
will accept.

Fe1ipa, wife Of Columbus.

More than the compass to the mariner
Vast thou, Felfpa, to his dauntless soul.
Through adverse winds that threatened
wreck, and nights
OF rayless gloom, thou pointed ever to
The north star of his great ambition. He
Who once has lost an Eden or has gained
A paradise by Ewes sweet influence,
Alone can know how strong spell lies in
The witchery of a woman's reckoning hand.
And thou didst draw him, tidelike, higher
still,
Felipa, whispering the lessons learned
From thy courageous father till the flood
OF his ambition burst all barriers
And swept him onward to his longed fol
goal
Before the jewels Of a Spanish queen
Built fleets to watt him on his untried way
Thou gayest thy wealth of wifely sympathy
To build the lofty purpose of his soul.
And now the centuries have cycled by
Till thou art all forgotten by the throng
That lauds the great Pathfinder of the deep.
1t matters not In that infinitude
OF space, where thou dost guide thy spirit
bark
To undiscovered lands, supremely fair.
If to this little planet thou couldst turn
And voyage, wraithlike, to its cloud hung
rim,
Thou wouldst not care for praise. And II
perchance
Some hand held out to thee laurel bough,
Thou wouldst not claim one wreath, but
fondly turn
To lay thy tribute also at his feet.
