LOST FOR TWELVE YEARS.

This Coin Guarantees It's Owner Several
 Privileges, and He Is Glad to Have It.
 Several days ago A. N. Mover, receiving teller of the Wyandotte National bank of Kansas City, Kan, found among his days receipts 0 quarter of dollar bearing the name of M. ". La Rue, Louisville, Ky.," together with some hieroglyphics, the in- dividual mark of a Royal Arch Mason. He thought that the coin was undoubted- ly a highly prized pocket piece, and he di- rected postal card ,to M. w. La Rue, Louisville in hope of finding the owner.
 He had almost forgotten SA matter when he received a letter from Mr. La Ruo, who had removed from Louisville to Gin cinnati and afterward to Winton Place, O., of which village he is now mayor. He said that he had lost the piece 12 years ago and expressed himself as very anxious to get it back, saying that he would gladly pay for the coin and for Mr Movers trouble
 Mr Mover sent it by registered letter to Mayor La Rue and received letter from him acknowledging the receipt and inclos- ing 36 cents, which he said, was to pay the expenses, 90 cents for the quarter cent for the postal card and 10 cents for the registry stamp, He added: "The wanderings of my little mark may never be known, but hope all its errands were those of beneficence
 "I grudge nothing of its performances, though, like many other wandering loved ones, its absence has been a source of many surmises, regrets apprehensions and now and then q bitter pang of genuine grief, as it's place could never be filled, ex- cept upon order of authorities not easy of access or always placable Its possession entities me to Masonic burial, to relief from pressing temporary want, and guarantees other privileges, immunities, etc., that would be out of the power of hundreds and hundreds of coins of like weight to pro- cure "-Kansas City Star.

FROM AWESOME SINAI
The Great Lawgser Descended With Eternal Tablets A Solemn Event in Hebrew
 History.

Yesterday was the second day of the commemoration of the grandest event not only in the history of Judaism, but of the entire civilized world-Shevuous. It was on this day, over 4000 years ago, that the great Jewish law-giver "Mosha Rahini" (Moses the law-giver) descended through the cloud of fire from the noun tain of Sinai with the tablets of stone on which were carved by the hand of the All Wise the ten commandments, which are the essence of all law and human justice.
 On this day is read by the rabbi the "Ackdomas," which was written centu- ries ago by the learned Rabbi Myer, in which is the following tribute to the greatness of God 'If all the trees of the earth were quills and all the waters of the oceans and rivers were ink, and if all the Armament of the heavens and the face of the earth were parchment, yet would there not be enough quills or parchment or ink to describe the glories of God"
 This feast is held in greatest reverence by not only the Jews, butfby the Moham- medans, and no matter in what factions the Jews were split up whether the Hillelites or the Samuelites, the orthox or heterodox, this holiday is revered alike by all. ssiG

MORE THAN A CHANCE.
Birmingham in Fair Way to Secure the Next Meeting of the AmaIgamated AsSo-
 standardization Applauded

That Birmingham will get the next an- nual convention of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers of America is almost an assured fact All of the telegraphic invitations sent from here were read in open convention and received with applause, and especially so was the one sent by the Commercial club, which received round after round of applause.
 These invitations on the part of the different organizations in the city were highly appreciated. They were referred to the southern delegates.
 The matter will come up before a special meeting of the board of directors of the Commercial club this morning, when it is almost certain that arrange ments will be perfected by which the as- sociation will agree to hold the next convention in this city. Information was received here yesterday that the south ern delegates were working for us and that the entire body favored coming to Birmingham.

Owners of Europc's Notorious Gambling
 Den Have Had Quarrel.


 If enly the old saying about honest men coming by their deserts when thieves fall out comes true in connection with the vio- lent quarrel which has broken out between the Prince of Monaco and his fellow part ners in the Monte Carlo gambling tables the fairost spot of Europe may before long be rid of the great den of vice known as the Casino, the headquarters of tho gam bling fraternity of the universe and to which flock gamosters from all parts of the globe.
 The Prince of Monaco, who is large shareholder, has become seriously alarmed at the falling off of tho receipts and like wise in the value of the stock, and he at tributes this to faulty management and particularly to extravaganza in the pay ments made in the shape of bribes to the continental press.
 It is difficult to sec how the conflict now in full swing will end, for, while on the one hand it cannot be denied that the Prince of Monaco's entire resources, cx- cepting the property of his wife, have been derived from the gambling tables on the other hand there is no doubt that the for eign powers would sustain him were he to take the bull by the horns, close the Ca sino and turn the whole tribe of Blancs, Radziwills and Bonapartes, with their CO., horts of croupiers and hangers on, out of his principality.
 True, the company has a contract with him which has still a number of years to run, but in the first place tho Monagese courts can scarcely be expected to return a decision against their own ruler, who has just given such an evidence of his energy and power, while 1t is hardly likely that either the French, Italian or, in fact, any foreign court of justice would consid- CT such contract as more binding in the sight of the law than mere gambling ob- lgation.
 The Princess of Monaco, with the mil lions which she inherited from the Franco American banker Heine, has amply suffi- cient to maintain her husband in luxury and splendor should he decide to bounce the gambling establishment from his do- mains. And from a social point of view there is no doubt that both he and his wife would gain immensely thereby, since it would have the effect of removing the so- cial boycott declared against him by all most every court in Europe So what with one thing and another, it looks very much as if the deathknell has at length tolled for the Casino nt Monte Carlo Marquise de Fontenoy in New York Re- cordcr

Three good reasons for his resignation are assigned by the owners of The Pilot, being three libel suits he has brought down on them, aggregating S70,- 000 It is altogether likely Small will not remain in the profession of the law more than few months.-Chioago Tribune.

He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmingham may well be proud of him.

With theStemperature as shown by the
thermometer almost unchanged, yesterday
was more severely felt by many than were
previous days of the present hot term.
The Weather Bureaus report OF tenn
peratures was almost identical with that
OF Thursday, with 81 degrees as maxi
mHm aud 6S degrees as a minimum. The
record at p. m, however, showed only
SS degrees against 80 at the same hour
Thursday. The difference n the effect
OF the heat, as shown by a number of
prostratiouS, is accounted for by the fact
that with the continuance of hot weather
persous who are likely TO be overcome
by it become weakened il their ability TO
Withstand its force.
Cooler weather, with light showers dur.
ing the day and rain at night, are predicted
for to-day. Winds will be variable A
gulf storm has been bearing in this direc-
ton and is expected. IL conditions hold
out as indicated, to bring a heavy rain TO

DEMENTED By HUNGER.
An Old Man From Michigan Picke
IN In the STrSgfs

An Old Man From Michigan Picked
Up in the Streets.
q An old white-haired and white-bearded
man, who gave his name as Edwin Pyue,
and age as nearly seventy years, was
found about O'Clock last night by Police
man Lynch, OF the Eighth precinct, wander
ing aimlessy about Florida avende near
Fourteenth street in an apparently dement,
ed condition
The old man was sent to the station
in the patrol wagon, where he told Prof
Cook he was from Grand Rapids, Mich.
Further than his name and home nothing
could be learned owing To the old mans
mental condition, and he was So weak that
he tottered about the office
The station keeper telephOned Police
Surgeon Cannon, and he examined the old
man and pronounced him demented from
the want of food.
Pyne must have, it is thought, been
without food for many days and his condi-
tiOn was pitiful in the extreme.
The kind-hearted hysicianthereuponw went
back TO his home and soon returned with
a large waiter full of hot viands.
At the sight Of food the famished man
nearly fell to the floor and when he sat
at the table the smoking food in front Of
him he seemed not TO know where to begin.
AT last, however, he fell to and never
stopped until he had finished all
