"oH. WHAT HAVE I DoNEY"

Max Manson felt that he had over
stepped the bounds Of strict prudence,
but it cannot be said he regretted it.
Knowing as he did that this man had
the rajah's ruby in his possession, or at
least had IL few hours before, and be-
lieving that he was going to escape scot
free, he could not resist the temptation
OF letting him know that he had grounds
for his accusing words.
He did not think it worth while to re-
turn to the hotel and tell Simpson what
had passed. The doctor had admitted
nothing, and he did not suspect the iden-
tity Of his friend; the latter therefore
possessed the slme opportunity to carry
out his schemes and combinations as at
first.
Folsom Simpson, finding himself alone,
followed singular course, but one which
1t may be said was in keeping with his
conduct since coming to Ellenville to
look into the mystery Of the rajah's ruby.
Paying no further attention to DIR. Maid
hof or the young man whom he had
seen in conversation with him at the
Livermore homestead the evening before,
he took the train TO Northampton, width
or he learned Miss Glider had gone,
though she must have returned TO Ellen
vile the previous evening, since she was
at the physicians Office at that time.
Arrived at this country town about
noon, he found that it bore marked re-
semblance TO the one he had Just left,
having about the same number Of in
habitants, though it b.oasted couple OF
dilapidated inns or hotels.
Ensconcing himself i'm one of these he
ate his midday meal, and through some
guarded inquiries learned that the new
home Of Miss Glider, like the one at Ell
lenyille, stood ON the outskirts and was
an imposing structure. showing consid-
cradle wealth on the part OF the occu'

A Noted Paris Salon.

The salon of Emma Eames Storey is
one of the most popular resorts in Paris
for society in general and the musical
and artistic world in particular. When
Julian Storey, son of the sculptor Storey
Of Rome, announced his intention =
wedding the sweet faced prima donna,
there were some objections thrown in
the way of the proposed alliance, for the
father was very ambitious for his son,
and the singer refused to leave the stage.
But Emma Eames was received in most
exclusive circles here and has been as
popular in her social as in her profes-
sional career everywhere. Her recep-
tons are held in her husbands studio

swallowed Her Betrothai Ring.

An engagement ring nearly cost Miss
Ida Womer of Pottsyille her life. Tues
day night, when the young lady was pre-
pairing to retire, she placed the precious
gold band between her lips. Lovingly
but lightly she held it, and the tiny thing
slipped into her mouth. With her tongue
she tried to replace it between her lips,
but the effort only forced the ring into
her throat and down it went. Fear and
pain overcame the girl, and calling for
help she sank upon the bed unconscious.
A physician was summoned. For time
It seemed AZ If Miss Womer would sue
cumb, but after several hours she raj
lied, and although not entirely well Is
not by any means in critical condition

wide Tire. nen.i,. the Roads.

The Ontario department of agriculture
has issued valuable special bulletin on
the making of roads. The line of argu-
ment used in favor of the building of
good country roads in Canada is much
the same as that in the United States
namely, that good roads enable the farm
er to market his produce at all times in
the year and secure his supplies at less
expense for hauling, with less wear and
tear to vehicles and injury to animals.
besides which they result in bringing to-
gether more closely the members of the
agricultural community, and thereby in
crease the social intercourse Of farmers.
The report strongly commends the
movement in favor of wide tires for
draft vehicles. 1t says it has been proved
by repeated experiments that wheels
with tires 81 inches wide cause double
the wear of wheels which have 4i-inch
tires. The wide tire has a tendency to
roll the roadbed and keep it smooth at
the same time, while the narrow one cuts
it up and requires more hauling force
for the same weight of load, besides
spelling the thoroughfare. Most of the
European countries have laws regulat-
ing this matter. In France the market
wagons have tires from 8 to 10 inches
In width, usually to inches, and the
rear axle is the longest, SO that the hind
wheels run on line outside of the fore
wheels, the vehicle being thus a road
maker instead of road destroyer. For
wagons without springs the tires should
not be less than 81 inches for a load Of
800 to 1000 pounds ON each wheel, and
for loads of 1000 to 5000 pounds on each
wheel the tire should not be less than six
inches wide.-Chicago Tribune.

INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.
Raising a Baby by the Aid of an Incu-


DatOr.
NEW YORK. June 26.-LOcal physi-
clans are much interested in an at
tempt to keep alive Joseph G. Revert,
a prematurely born infant, BY means
of an incubator. The machine,
which was originally designed for the
cultivation of bacilli, but which
seems to wuI k Ike a charm with ba-
bies, is tin box two feet long and
ten inches deep, with glass top.
The intci{U: ~ kept at steady tenn
perature OF lob degrees by means of
spirit lamp. and nest of the soft
est wool is made in the centre, In
which Baby Joseph lies comfortably
cuddled up.
At the time of his birth the baby
weighed only two pounds and was so
| weak and frail that he would proba-
| bly, have died within very short
! time had it not happened that Tin
smith w. G.. Robinson, the inventor
| of an ingenious incubating machine,
| who lives in the same house with Jo-
| Seph'S parents, came to the rescue.
| The baby was at once installed in
| one of Mr.. Robinson's ,incubators and
| has grown two inches longer and
| three-quarters of pound in weight
since last Friday. He is able to take
| two teaspoonfuls of milk an hour
with the aid of a fountain pen drop
| per, and has begun to take an active
! interest in life. He will probably
have to live in the incubator for {
month or two.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK,
The Journals Report of the Winston
Tobacco Market.

Receipts of loose tobacco have been
light the past week, both on this and
other markets. The weather has
been hot, and for the most part dry
and quite unfavorable for hauling
leaf. Planters are busy with their
crops and at the present prices OF leaf
are not much disposed to sell.
The quality Of the stock offered was
up to the usual standard, and some
very fine working tobacco was sold.
These were taken, mostly by home
manufacturers at very good prices.
Several lots OF fine mahogany tiilers
were sold at outside figures and
showed strong demand for these goods.
As a rule, however, the market is
duh and leaf is lower than it has been
| for years.
The reports from the growing crOT
are very hattering. The plants have
| a good start and the weather the past
| week is making them grow rapidly
/ The crop throughout the State is
| about a week late, out is looking un
usually well. In South Carolina al
| the early tobacco has been topped anC
| printing will begin next week.
In manufacturing circles there !:
| nothing new to note. Orders ar
| quite satisfactory and collection:
| fairly good. Jobbers are buying eau
| tiOusly, but frequently and shipment
| are about as large as at the same sea

THE MONEY STRINGENCY.
A Financier Tells the r 2ason of the
Hard Times

Hard Times"
10 the Editor of the Sentinel
According to the report of Secreta-
ry Carlisle last week, the Treasury
Department has purchased, under the
Sherman Act of July IA, 1890, and now
holds in the vaults of the Treasury in
an uucoined or bullion state, 124, 292,-
532 ounces of silver. This silver cost
the people of the United States Sll4,-
299 920, and is worth today in the
market, according to present price of
silver SOB, All 1856, THIS showing a
a net loss of so, SSS, $50. By the con-
dition of the same act, silver and gold
are to be maintained at parity
dollar for dollar. The records of the
Treasury Department show that dur
ing the eleven months, beginning
May 31st, 1892, and ending May lst,
1898, the silver certificates issued for
tile purchase of silver bullion, under
the Sherman Act, amounted to $40,
96I .1S4; and during the same eleven
r1onthS the amount of silver certl1-
Gates exchanged Immediately for gold
amounted to SIT, 745.073. Now the
silver bullion, for which gold was in
| directly exchanged, is stored away III
| the Treasury vaults and can never be
| sold for cost nor used in the payment
| of any kind Of obligations. How long
! this absurd and dangerous condition
| of the finance will continue, Congress
| alone can answer. 1t is evident that
| the fiat of the government cannot
| last indefinitely, and the sooner the
/ Sherman Act is repealed the better.
