MIR. UHL'S FAMILY.
Glimpse of the Home of the New
Am bn ssaIOr TO Germany.

Am mDnSsOuOr 10 Germuny.
The selection Of Edwin +. Uhl for the
mission to Germany cannot but be classed
as a most wise one. writes the Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Times for
there are few men in the country who are
more thoroughly versed in the science OF
statecraft and diplomacy, or who could more
aptly fill a position which is one Of the most
important in the gift of the government
As Germany is one of the leading powers of
Europe, and the work of our ambassador in
Berlin such that the place cannot be allowed
to remain long vacant, it Is thought that
Mr. Uhl and his family will leave town at
an early date COR their foreign destination.
The present home of the uhls Is on the
corner of Nineteenth and N streets, In the
northwestern section of Washington, q
neighborhood which might be correctly
classed as a most diplomatic one, for just
across the street is the big, red brick Brit
isl embassy; In full view is the home Of
the minister from Brazil, while the resi-
dences Of most of the prominent officials
of the city are in the vicinity. The Uhl
house is a large brick and is handsomely
furnished throughout.
Mrs Uhl is Michigan girl, having been
born in Ypsilanti, In the Wolverine state
Her parents were from the western part of
New York. and her ancestors came over
from England in the Sixteenth century
She was Miss Alice Follett, received her
education principally at schools in her ma
tive state, coming east for only few
months. 1t was in Ypsianti that twenty
years Of her married life were spent but
the present home, which the family aban-
doned to come to Washington, Is a beauti-
full place at Grand Rapids The family also
have a lovely summer home at Charlevox
on Pine river, one of the indentations in
lake Michigan. Mr.. Uhl cares little for
sport, but spends much of his time row.

name being Edwin. Young David Is now
in business in G,and Rapids. and will
doubtless become one OF the rising mon OF
the state. The youngest boys name s
Marshall Mortimer and he is now at
school in Washington.
Mrs. Uhl is tall lady, with gray hair,
brown eyes and an interesting personality.
Her face lights up In conversation 10 much
that a photograph of her in repose Is almost
unrecognizable by her friends. Her talent
lies in a musical direction, and she has taken
a most prominent part in the history of her
state In regard to this art As president of
the St. Cecilia society, In Grand Rapids, she
assisted the women of that town in the erec-
ton of a magnificent hall-the only musical
club in the world which has been erected and
maintained exclusively by ladies.
While nothing Of an active exponent Of the
doctrine of woman's rights, Mrs. Uni is fully
abreast of the times on all subjects. and says
that IL women are granted the right of suf-
frage she will most certainly cast her vote.
She is fond of travel, and tour CT Europe. as
well as vlStts to many states of the union, and
a residence in Washington, where she takes
a prominent part in social life have given her
an ease of manner and knowledge of the
world most necessary for her new position.
Yet she is not what may be termed a so
ciety woman in the sense that she spends
her time exclusively in pleasure, for the fact
is that her home, husband and children are
always regarded as having the first claim
upon her attention.
Mr. Uh was much liked by the late Sec
retary Gresham. who reposed perfect conf
dence in his judgment, and almost the last
person at the bedside Of the dying secretary
of state was his assistant to whom he talked
over matters of business.

LAND QUICKLY ENTERED On
All the Forfeited Grant in 0'Brien County
Claimed and Some Several Times.
MANY CONTESTS ALREADY IN SIGHT
Peculiar Provisions of heLaw Wake
Possible the complication of
showing of Title nadiCon-
segment Litigation.

DEs MONIES, Feb. 23.-(special Tele-
gram) AT the close of business at the fed
essl land office in this city Saturday night
all but 100 acres of the $4,000 acres in
O'Brien county, recently restored to the pub
lie domain, had been claimed. Next Thurs
day is the day set for the opening of the
land, and 1t is expected that there will be
hundreds OF claimants on hand early in the
morning, and that a great number OF con-
tests will result. The federal laws under
which this land is claimed, after being re-
stored to the public domain, are conflicting
and there will be some fine legal points
raised in connection with the conflicting
claims. The fourth section of the law of
1887 provides that when lands are restored
to the public domain, after being granted to
a railroad, as in the present case, II they
had been sold by the road, as bona fide
transaction, then the persons to whom they
had been sold shall be entitled to II on maxi
ing proof, and that patent shall issue to
them.
The next section provides that where lands
within the limit of the railroad grant, but
excepted from 1t and not conveyed on ac-
count of 1t, has been sold, bona fide to cti-
zens Of the United States. they shall be enti-
tied to make proof and purchase 1t from the
government.
The third section of the same law pro-
vides for three classes, who will have pre-
ferred rights to forfeited railroad lands: Bona
fde settlers whose homestead or redemption
entries have been e;roneously cancelled on
account of the railroad grant; bona fde pur-
chaoers of the forfeited lands, and bona fde
settlers residing Oh the lands
Claims have been filed for all the lands
except the 120 acres under one of these sec
tions considerable part of it, which is
claimed by one person under the railroad
title, and by another by reason of settlement
in good faith The title to the land has
been in dispute many years Persons who
believed the roads title would be in the
end declared invalid, settled on the land in
good faith and made Improvements, expect
ing to ultimately get title from the govern
ment. These will make demands by reason
of their bona fide settlement; the holders of
the railroad title will claim under it, and
there will be serious questions as to which
side has the best claim. After the entries
have teen made, dates will be fixed for
hearing the contest cases.
Aside from the cases in which there are
contests between bona fde settlers and
claimants under the railroad grant, there will
be conflicting claimants to nearly all the
lands, who will make filings sin the hopes
that the claimants under the railroad title will
be unable to complete their proof of bona
fde purchase. - IL

SUPERSTITION ABOUT GEMS.
Precious stones Invested with Good
and EVIL Properties.

Precious stones Invested with Good
and EVIL Properties.
Jewels and gems have always been singled
out as objects of superstitious reverence, says
the st. Louis Republic. 1t would be diff
cult to say whence this belief arose, but the
wise mar and the fool shared the delusion
alike. Albertus Magnus said: 'If you
would sharpen the understanding, increase
riches and forsee the future take an emerald
For prophesying 1t must be placed beneath
the tongue"
; Among all the gems that are dug out of
the bowels Of the earth today the opal Is the
only one invested with evil properties. The
stone has queer, uncanny CLEAN, and this
may be the reason for this attribution of
malign influences. Now and then the opal
has been taken into public favor. II was
held to be in some sort compendium OF the
salutary virtues of other gems especially
those of the ruby and the sapphire. The woman
who owned an opal considered herself i'm
mune from diseases of the eyes and the liver
The diamond was always well beloved by
women throughout all ages, and the pearl
the most poetic gem, came next in favor.
The possession OF a damond was considered
protection against the plague, the ague
and fevers of all kinds. In ages when
poisoning was one of the fine arts practiced
by the vindlctive avengers the diamond was
held TO be the only amulet that could ward
off the silent destroyer's power. In fact
the gem was believed to be a poison itself,
and therefore efficacious as a counter ele-
ment
Tho pearl, itself the emblem OF purity,
was looked upon as the gem par excellence
OF moral influence, that would keep its
wearer pure and unspotted from the world.
Crushed and taken with IN TX. our ancestors
believed 1t to cure internal ulcers, and they
also said that II cheered the heart.
The sapphire was essentially the emblem of
sincerity in love affairs, symbolizing con-
stsncy and fidelity. II was also considered
TO be a good eye stone, like the opal
The turquoise was said to be endowed
with diagnostic powers deepening and light
ening in color with the state of the health
of its wearer. 1t was held 10 be pre-
yentiye against evil consequences or falls.
The amethyst in the ancient world was
supposed TO be the infallible booze" stone
No wearer Of an amethyst would ever ae-
quire the vice OF drunkenness. The coral
our forefathers believed, would ward on the
evil eye, and topaz could deprive boiling
water OF its heat.
