An immense stone pipe was recently
found on Sam Harris place, near
Mount Sterling, KY, by a boy named

part of which was protruding from the
ground. 1t proved to be an Indian
pipe, made of sandstone. beautifully
carved, and weighing two pounds and
cue ounce.

The wind had blown the loose ends

"Yes, tomorrow" she answered.
"You must confess il is rather dull

friend, PAUL MosHiER.
1t was the night OF the charity ball.
The great hall was ablaze with light |;
the orchestra, in a bower Of palms at
the far end OF the room, played bril-
liantly; everywhere there we're men in
their ugly conventional black suits,
aud beautiful women, dressed in satins
and silks OF every color. aud gay with
jewels and flowers
The dancing had begun an hour
ago, but still Paul Moshier was stand
ing in the little crowd Of men always
to be found about the door. He was
waiting for Miss Davis He did not
think that he would say "good-by" to
her after sll--he did not know as he
ever meant shslshould see him, But
he must get little glimpse Of her be-
fore he went away to India.
To tell the truth, Paul was burt and
angry at Miss Davis He had sent his
letter to her three days ago and he
had had no word from her since. He
thought to himself that she was rude
"A lady should make som. acknowl-
edgement, however slight, OF letter
like that But she was spoiled by much
admiration society had turned her
head.
Nevertheless, he had come to the
charity ball in his shabby dress suit
aud his best l,ves, simply to see Miss
DAVIS aud To say ''gool-by" to her
silently in his own heart.
He waited patiently at the door,
cruning bis neck to catch sight Of each
new face. uul paying no heed to the
briiliancy Of the ball. Hundreds of
radiant women passed and repassed
before him, the dance music sounded
in his ears, the lights blazed into his
dark eager eyes, but he never turned
his attention from the door.
Once someone spoke his name, but
he did not answer, and many times
he was iostled and did not fcel that he
moved.
The minutes dragged by slowly.
Nearly everyone had come, and the
great clock on tho wall behind tho
matrons struck IL family through the
music. Still he waited silently though
he was thinking new that perhaps
she did not mean to come ut all Per-
haps that was to be her answer to the
letter.
Fifteen, twenty minutes, half an
hour went by-she had not come.
Then suddenly tho crowd about tho
door drew back on either side and
Paul, stepping hastily out OF sight be-
hind the other door, saw that she was
coming.
He watched her with narrow, intense
eyes as she came in on her fathers
arm. She wore plain white dress,
cut low, aud finished about the neck
with fine old lace; her gloves did not
quite reach to the puff Of her sleeve
aud allowed part Of her white arm;
one Of her little satin slippers b I'd lost
its ribbon rosette. Paul noticed all
these details Of her costume uncon.

TRUST AGAINST TRUST.
How the Germans Under Herr Krupp
 Beat the Americans.

New Brunswick, N J., Sept 25.- Several months ago the Westphalian- Rhenish Explosive company of Ger many bought coo acres of land near Spotswood, N. J., and awarded a con- tract to Freeholder Pownall to erect buildings at a cost of S20,000. It was said that the company would need about 800 workmen, and the people of the vicinity were looking forward to an era of prosperity.
 It has been learned recently that the whole scheme was one to injure the American Powder trusts inter ests in foreign countries, and to make it pay tribute to Herr Krupp of Ger many. It was a battle of trust against trust and the Germans won. Recently orders were received to stop work on the buildings, and now it is affirmed that there will be no more work done, and that the unfinished buildings may rot for all any one cares.
 The American trust has agreed to pay all the expenditures of the Ger man trust, the latter still retaining the ownership of the property. The

WAS IT A JOKE?
If So It Was a Serious One for
 George w. Walker.

Chicago, Sept 25.-George w. Walker, A years old, took his life at an early hour under circumstances so peculiar that friends who witnessed the act are not agreed as to whether 1t was a case of suicide or an accident.
 The young man was in saloon conversing with two companions, when suddenly he reached over the bar and, procuring the saloon keepers re- volver, placed it to his head and fired. The bullet penetrated his brain.
 Walker, as far as his friends know, had no reason for taking his own life He was known as a practical joker, and it was intimated that he might have seized the weapon in an effort to frighten his friends.

In the Number of Yellow Fever
 Gases At New Orleans
MORE NUMEROUSLY DOTTED
With CenterS of Infection Than
 On Any Previous Day
Only Two Deaths Reported Yester- day, But There Were Several Critical Cases In Which Death Was Probable Before Morning.

New Orleans, Sept. 25.-In one respect today was record breaker. There were more new cases reported to the board of health than on any pre- vious day and there was an increase in the number of new foci of infection established. The death list, however, was not heavy. Only two cases had proved fatal dur ing the day. Several cases tonight were reported to be in critical con- dition and it is possible other deaths may follow during the night. At 6 o'clock tonight the board of health re- ported eighteen new cases.
 The weather continues cool, and physicians think it is increasing the death rate, which now approximates sixteen per cent. The Beauregard school is being put in shape for the reception of fever patients, but threats continue to be made by angry citizens.

INEW GERMAN AMBASSADOR
Preceded By Flattering Reports Regarding His Efficiency
Chosen By Emperor William on Ac- count of His AcQuaintanco With the English Language Prospect of German Reciprocity.

Washington, Sept. 25.-The new German ambassador, Dr. Won Hollen- ben. will arrive here the latter part of next month and will be received by the president soon after the latter's return for the winter. Recent letters to this effect from the United States embassy at Berlin speak in the high est terms of the neW ambassador. Emperor William said he had been moved to make the selection owing to Dr. Hollenben's knowledge of the English language, which the emperor believed would be a material advan- tage at this time.
 The authorities here have received no overtures thus far from Germany on the subject of reciprocity treaty under the new tariff law and it is be- lieved that such steps as are taken in that line will be through Ambassador White at Berlin. It is regarded as a favorable circumstance that our am bassador is an accomplished German scholar and that the emperor in turn has selected an accomplished English scholar to represent Germany here.

A FAMOUS BONE SETTER.

New York, Sept. 25.-Prof. John Atkinson. of London, who nearly has worked miracles as bone setter, has come to this country to treat several wealthy patients. The names of these patients, Prof. Atkinson, when seen last evening, was loath to give. It was learned, however, that one is MT. Scott, the shipping merchant of Baltimore, and that the others are New Workers. This is MT. Atkinson's first visit to this country.
 In Europe the list of his patients includes members of the nobility and famous athletes. Prince Henry of Pless went to him to have an injured wrist and strained riding muscle cured The earls Of Dunham and Yarmouth were among his patients. Lord Hyde was cured of a displace- ment of the hip, and the duchess of Sutherland was successfully treated. MT. Atkinson is not a doctor His only surgical instruments are his strong hands. He is a man of :m- mense strength and at the same time of a marvellous delicacy of touch

TO USE SOAP.
Prohibitionists Plan a Novel Cam
 paign.

New York, Sept. 25.-Local prohi- bitionists have added the soap issue to the cold water issue and the com bination is expected to make lots of suds by the way of votes. At a meet ing of the executive committee of the New York county committee held last night it was decided to purchase fifty gross of cakes of fine toilet soap as al experiment. These will be given out. properly wrapped in circular, stat ing the principles of the party, at the political gatherings to be held during the campaign
 They are expected to serve as a great inducement to non-prohibitiop- ists to attend the meetings. It is in tended that the soap itself shall be appropriately stamped and that on its wrapper shall be printed the fol- lowing: Prohibition party soap. Ye voters of Greater New York, clean up the dirty politics by voting with a clean party for clean men. Clean out the saloons, clean out the gin mill pol iticians, clean out the Tammany-Platt bosses, is our motto.'

HETTY GREEN IN SOCIETY.
She Introduces Her Daughter to the
 Fashionable Circle in New York.

New York, Sept 25.-Mrs. Hetty Green, famed as the richest woman in America, the woman who can give Russell Sage lessons in finance and beat him at his own game, is going into society. She was presented to society today in company with her daughter at one of Miss Leary's big teas in Newport
 That society received her with open arms goes without saying. Mrs. Green is persona grata. She is not only rich, but we'll born, and those who know her best say that when she chooses to drop the cloak of her eccentricities she can be charming and interesting woman It is under stood that Mrs. Greens present in- cursion into unknown realms is taken for the benefit of her daughter. Mrs. Green herself would much prefer the society of the Chemical bank, where, as in a fortress, she wages so sue cessful war against the sharks of speculation.

Columbia, s. C., Sept. 25.-The liar his Nickel Plated show was at Dillon, a town of 700 people, yesterday, and a bloody riot was narrowly averted. When an attempt was made to start the circus train away from there last night several hundred men from town and country, many with drawn pistols, prevented it from starting. They claimed the circus had advertised mo gambling" bu. that gambling was in full blast and that many were fragrant ly robbed in a variety of crooked games. They further charge that in the main tent, it being known that the community was short of fractional currency and small bills for harvest ing purposes, the circus people of fered to make change. This they did for many, but in all instances they gave less money than was due, the people accepting their counts without question. Each ore lost from $1 to S10.
 Legal action was begun, but as the train was about to get away before warrants could be secured the crowd stopped it. A bloody fight was immi- nent, but the circus people finally agreed to pay all claims. The train was still being held when the last in- formation was received.

DEADLY STONE BRUISE.
It Resulted in the Death of Mary Nc
 Elroy, by Cancer.

Kansas City, Sept. 25.-A cancer of the lung, caused by an injury to her foot, resulted in the death of little Mary McElroy, aged II, at the German hospital this afternoon. The acci- dent which resulted in the child's death was peculiar one. Mary McEl- roy, who is niece of Chief Hale's. while running barefooted several weeks ago, hurt her foot on a stone. The injury was slight at first, but grew more painful and physicians de- cide1 that her foot would have to be amp Itated to prevent blood poisoning.
 Tfis operation was performed sev- eFalfveeks ago, and the child was ap- paTetly recovering, when it was dis covA d that the germ of poisoning had infected her lung and produced a cancer. Five or six prominent phy- sicians were baff1ed by the case, and after suffering great agony the unfor- t4nate child died at 4 o'clock.
