THE FAIRY STONE.


It II found In Virginia and l. Supposed
- Be Talisman.
The "Mother Of Statesmen" has pro-
duced q number of good things from
first to INSTALLATIONS men; fascinat-
ing. soft voiced women; fine horses
and the like, but that a popular fad
should originate with her is an alto
gether new departure Everything must
have q beginning, however, and who
knows, now that the fairy stone has found
such favor in the world of fashion,
what possibilities she may develop in
this direction? These queer bits Of pet
rified earth are indigenous to Patrick,
q southern border county Of Virginia,
cut of from Henry, and called, like the
latter, in honor of the statesman and
orator. Patrick Henry. They are not ex-
cavated for. but lie loose upon the sur
face of the soil, and though restricted
to two or three parts of the county .ex-
list in great numbers and various sizes.
Upon each stone a representation of
the cross is distinctly though delicately
traced. and u legend concerning them
states that a band Of fairies. dwelling
at Jerusalem during the life of our Saw
Jour and witnessing the awful scene ON
Calvary. were SO Mortified by it that
they fed to this remote region and
transformed themselves into these pet
rified emblems. The legend has given
rise to innumerable superstitions, and
from time immemorial the stones have
been worn as amulets by those living in
the vicinity in which they are found.
The reputation was local, however,
until that era in Virginia's history
known as 1.-THE boom. Then her super
stitions and sacred traditions. along with
her other commodities, became objects
of barter. Speculation fixed its calculat-
ing eye upon the fairy stone, and it was
taken from its native bed and expert
mented with in order that it might be
rendered MARKETABLE. 1t was soon dis
covered that no tedious process was nee
essay for it's development. A sharp in
strument passed along the outline
stamped upon its surface converted the
and a little polishing and plunge into
bath of boiling oil gave the requisite
smoothness and the rich mahogany color
one sees in the stone of commerce. A
tip of gold at the four extremities and .
ring to which chain might be attached
gave the finishing touch to it, and when
thus simply mounted fairy stones sold
for 81 apiece.
The traditions concerning their Won
der working power are as inexhaustible
as the beds from which they are taken
and would furnish endless themes to
writer's of fairy tales and folklore stories.
They are supposed to ward of evil and
bring good luck to their possessors, but
in order to do this must be worn around
the neck and next to the person.-Phil-
adelphia Times.

Justice jackson.

Associate Justice Howell E. jack
son, of the United States supreme
court, upon whom will virtually rest
the final disposition of the income
tax should a hearing be granted May
6. is one of the most recent Access
sions to the supreme bench. Al
though a staunch democrat, he owes
his appointment to a republican
president, he being one of the last
appointees of President Harrison be-
fore he handed over the government
to Grover Cleveland. Justice Jack
son was nominated to succeed the
late Justice Lamar. At the time of
his appointment he was serving as
United States circuit judge in the
Tennessee and Ohio circuit, SO that
his promotion might be regarded as
well earned. He was appointed to
the circuit bench by President Cleve-
land during his first administration
March 8, 1887.
Justice Jackson was born at Paris,
Tenn, April 8. 1882. and received a
good classical education at West
Tennessee college, from which he
graduated with honor in 1S48. when
but 16 years Of age. From that in
stitution Of learning he went to the
University of Virginia and there
took 2-years' course. He entered
the Lebanon Law school, aud at the
age Of "a was graduated. He began
the practice Of law in Jackson, Tenn,
in 1856. Three years later he moved
to Memphis and continued there for
20 years. when he once more returned
to jackson. He was twice appointed
to the supreme bench of the state Of
Tennessee and was once a candidate
for judge Of the supreme court be-
fore q nominating convention. but
defeated.
In 1880 he was elected to the state
legislature of Tennessee and the fol-
lowing year was elected by his asso-
ciates in the legislature to the United
States senate. He served there with
BENJAMIN Harrison, and it was to
the friendship thus formed that his
appointment to the supreme bench
by q political opponent was largely
due. Justice jackson continued in
the senate till 1886, when he re-
signed. In March Of that year Pres
dent Cleveland appointed him cir
cult judge and in 1898 he was
promoted to his present position.
He entered upon the duties Of the
Office March 4, 1898. His decisions
as q Judge have always been marked
by clearness Of judgment, sound
common sense and an enlightened
Interpretation of the law, and have
always commanded the respect of
the legal profession throughout the
country. Justice jackson is re-
garded as one OF the ablest and
sOundest jurors of the south and as
an ornament to the bench.

See . Nail, Don't Pick 1t Up.

Mr.. William Garrett made recently
the statement that wire nails are now
sold SO cheaply that if q carpenter drops
a nail it is cheaper to let it lie than to
stoop and pick it up, and it is claimed
that one key ont Of five is never used,
but goes to waste. A statistician igur-
ing this out, and assuming that it takes
carpenter ten seconds to pick up a
nail, and that his time is worth 80 cents
an hour, remarks that the recovery of
the nail he has dropped would cost .OS3
cents. The money value of the nail is
.OO77 cents-that is, it would not pay
to pick up ten nails if it took ten Sec
onds of time worth 80 cents an hour.
Ordinary men who are not very quick
can, however, pick up nail ON mod
erately clean floor in five seconds. As
Stunning that this is a better average than
the ten seconds. and that we are paying
the carpenter only % cents an hour, it
will still cost to recover the nail .O347
cents. which is nearly five times the
value Of an individual nail. There is
therefore considerable factor of safety
in the original calculation, and we are
bound to believe that it will not pay to
pick up nails. Such q calculation brings
out clearly the marvellous reduction in
prices due to inventive genius. The
lurking fallacy is that while it may not
pay to stoop for each nail it still may
be worth while for an economical man
at the end of his work to stoop down
once and sweep up in q single handful
the nails he has been dropping all day.

Blank or unrhymed is that form of
heroic verse which is commonly EN-.
ployed in English dramatic and epic
poetry. 1t was introduced by the Earl
of Surrey. who died in l547. in his
translation of the second and fourth
books of "Eneid. 1t was first en-
ployed in the drama in Sackville and
Norton's tragedy Of "Ferrex and Por-
rex" which was printed in 1865. but
it was not till Marlowe adopted it in
his play of 'Tamburlaine the Great"
that it became the form regularly en-
ployed in the metrical drama, which it
has since, with only occasional inter-
walls, remained. After Millions use of
it in Paradise Lost" it was widely ex-
tended to many other classes Of compo-

THE ACT OF A MAD MAN.
For a Trifiing Cause He shoots and Fatally Wounds Woman and Then
 Commits Suicide,

At S:3O o'clock this morninga trag. edy took place at sos Beech street, and as a result Jesse Isby is corpse and Mandy Walker is not expected to live from the injuries sustained at the hands of Jesse Ishy, the would-be murderer and suicide.
 Jesse lsby was q colored drayman. and for some time past has been in the employ of the l. l.. Speers Co. He has wife living. but on account ef disaereements they had separated and lsby was boarding Ut the home of Mandy Walker, the negress whom he fatally shot.
 The story of the shooting as gleaned by GRAPHIC reporter from Mafiah Saunders, the mother of Mandy Walker, and another eye-wit- ness of the affair is as follows:
 Last night Jesse lsby left the house for the purpose of going to church and returned at late hour and seemed greatly excited. He finally went to bed, but got up about I o'clock and went out of the house to q grove of trees that stood across the street, and there he prayed aloud for probably an hour, after which he returned home and went to sleep. This morning he got up and came to the breakfast table as usual, though lie seemed very much out of humor. He asked Mandy Walker, who was waiting on the table, for a cup of tea. The woman replied that she would wait on him in a moment. This seemed to anger the man and he jumped up and began to curse and abuse her, and finally pulled pistol and began shooting. The first shot took effect in the womans arm, break ing if above the elbow. She at tempted to escape from the room but lsby followed her to the front gallery and fired two more shots, one ball going through the wumans neck and the other striking her OH the shoulder.
 The woman finally fled into the house and Isby walked out of the front gate about ten paces and placed the pistol to the burr of his eur and pulled the trigger The ball crushed through the base of his brain, his neck and he fell to the ground acorpse.

In this he has not an equal on earth. The riding was ex- citing and daring. It was perfect throughout.-Ha Harrisburg Call.

NOW THEY ARE IN JAIL.
The Fate that Is Now in Store for the Two Gay Coons who Abducted Two DusIxy DamseIs
 From Their
 Homes.

1t is all up, for a time. at least, with Jim Clayton and Nose Arrant, the colored society "swells," who abducted Lula Horton and Minnie Luster, two girls under the ages of b years, and kept them in a house away from their parents several days with evil intentions.
 The trial of the men took place in the court of Justice Alexander yes terday, and the jury, which was com posed of both white and colored men, rendered a verdict of guilty, and Jus tice Alexander assessed the lowest penalty allowed by law against the defendants, which was fine of $400 and one years Imprisonment, each
 The trial attracted great attention from the colored people, on account of the prominence in colored social circles of the defendants and the two girls whom they had lured from their homes with evil designs.
 Attorneys Taylor and Merritt rep resented the State, and it is therefore to say that the case was ably prosecuted. Maj. N. T. White and o. c. Porter appeared for the defense, but the case was too strong against their cclients, and a verdict was rendered against them notwithstanding their able efforts.
 If the prisoners are able to make a bond for cost the case will be ap- pealed to the Jefferson Circuit Court.

Thecompany first presented the one-act drama "In Honor Bound" with Mir, Sidney Drew as Sir George Carlyon. the ris- ing and ambitious young lawyer and Mrs. Drew as Lady Carlyon. AL though there are only four chracters in the piece it is very interesting one and affords excellent opportunities Tor the Drews to show their rare abilities as actors and actresses. My Awful Dad,' the second piece. kept the audience in continued roar oflaughter the rest of the evening. Mr. Mckee Rankin as Adonis Evergreen. the jolly old man, could not have been improved upon. The mirth Tn the play was not appreciated soley by the audience either, for the actors themselves frequently showed signs of laughter and merriment. The company left last night for Helena where 1t plays tonight and then leaves for Memphis to open the sea son in that city.
