Engraved gems in the middle ages were
supposed to possess all kinds of virtues.
A bird with an olive leaf in BILL cut in
pyriteS and set in silver ring-having this
on thy right hand, thou shalt be invited
to every feast, and those present shall
not eat, but gaze on thee More useful
from q Commercial point of view is the
design OF man standing on a dragon and
holding sword, set in a leaden or iron
ring. Then all the spirits that dwell in
darkness shall obey the wearer and shall
reveal unto hirn in lowtoned song the
place Of hidden treasure and the mode OF
winning the same.''

THoRNE WANTS BAIL.
Famous Firm of Howe g. Humndeu Look
ing After His Interests,

New York, July 15.-The district at.
torney's Office was served today with a
writ Of habeas corpus requiring the pro-
duction of Martin Thorn in the supreme
court, special term, part II, at 10 80 to-
morrow morning. The writ was obtained
by Howe & Hummell, Thorn's lawyers,
and is for the purpose of deciding wheth-
er Thorn shall be released on bail
Assistant District Attorney Rosalsky
says that the writ is without precedent
He has been unable to find similar
case to this, where the question of ad-
mitting person charged with murder
in the first degree was argued before some
other legal proceedings, such as trial,
and disagreement of the jury had
the writ sets forth that he was arrested
on charge of having killed Guldensuppe
in Queens county and that Mrs. Mack
is jointly charged with him in the COM
mission of the murder. That they were
partially examined before City Magistrate
Flammer, and while this examination
was still pending, the district attorney
of New York county, presented the case
to the grand jury Of the county, who
presented an indictment against them for
murder.
Mr.. Howe, Thorn's lawyer, the petition

though indicted for murder, Thorn is
in utter ignorance, of the testimoney
given against him before the grand jury
and cannot prepare his defense unless
he is apprised of the nature of the testi-
mony there presented.

CHARACTERISTIC EPISODE.
Special Police Officer Goes to Selling Bee,
and Regular Pulls Him.

.
Biddeford, July 15.--The spectacle of a
regular police officer arresting special,
who had just been engaged in seizing
liquors at various places about town, was
witnessed here today. The special was
locked up on charge of intoxication,
and will be given hearing on that
charge in the Municipal court tomorrow.
The special officer who distinguished
himself by making seizures and getting
into Jail in the same forenoon is Thomas
Doyle, whom the police commissioners
appinted last February, and who has
done occasional Sunday duty since.
Doyle is mule spinner. Things got a
little dull for him around the mills, this
forenoon, and going home he donned his
best suit, decorated the lapel of the coat
with his nickle badge and started out to
create sensation.
First he called at Nelson Provencal's 8
saloon and called for q drink A bottle
was set out on the counter, and without
any ceremony he took possession of it and
started for the door. Hailing an express
man, he deposited the bottle in the wagon
and directed the driver to follow him.
His next call was at Peter Lamoreaux's S
restaurant. The proprietor was out.
Doyle went behind the counter and seized
a Jug. Tom Woods, the clerk, declared
that the jug contained nothing but vine
gar, and he gave chase to the intruder,
but Doyle reached the express wagon. de-
posted the jug and drove off.
l.. v. Guertin's restaurant, at the COR
.ner of Main and Foss streets, was next
visited. There Doyle called for drink,
but was refused Bending over the
counter, he seized bottle of beer, and
started for the door, but was oyertaken
by Guertin, and scuff1e ensued, in
which the bottle was smashed.
Officer Martin then appeared on the
scene and took Doyle in tow. Doyle re-
sisted, but was foored and after chok-
ing was administered to him, he decided
to accompany the regular officer to the
police station. There he was placed in a
cell. ''Intoxication," was the entry Mar
tin wrote on the station register, opposite
Doyle's name.
While the arrest was being made in
Guertin's restaurant, the jug and bottle
which Doyle had deposited in the express
wagon suddenly disappeared, SO that
nothing in the shape of evidence of his
three seizures remained.
Doyle's friends claim that he was not
intoxicated, and an effort will be made tc
defend him in court tomorrow.

YOUNG PEOPLES BAPTIST UNION
Six to Eight Thousand Delegates Expected
at Chattanooga.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 15.-The
city is rapidly filling up with delegates
to the convention of the Baptist Young
Peoples Union to meet in this city to-
day. The indications are that there will
not be as large crowd as was atssfirst ex-
pected, but there will sbe from 6O0O to
5000, outside of the delegates from Ton
nessee.
The convention is composed of the dele
gates from the Baptist Young Peoples
Union of..America and the Baptist Young
Peoples Union auxiliary to the Southern
Baptist convention. At a recent meeting
of the representatives of the two asso-
Citations it was agreed that hereafter the
two unions would meet in joint conyen-
ton, but that each would maintain its
autonomy and separate organizations.

WOULDN'T GUIDE COMMISSIONERS
Reason Given for Refusing Moosehead
Guide License.

Augusta, July l6.-The situation of the
guides registration law, since the
two well known cases of Guides Palmer
of Moosehead and Matherson of Rangeley,
has become the subject of much talk
among sportsmen.
The cause of Palmer's not receiving a
license Is due, the commissioners say to
his failure, without explanation to appear
to guide them and party of prominent
gentlemen on May 20, as Palmer had
agreed. Palmer is stated to have said that
he did not care to license. But June g.,
he wrote for license. Commissioner Oak
wrote him a conciliatory tletter asking an
explanation. Palmer wired back: IRE
turn dollar or send register as you
please" The dollar was returned. The
commissioners refused license to guide
Matherson, president of the Rangeley
Lakes Guides Association, because he re-
fused to say that he would answer certain
questions which the registration law re-
quires that the guides shall answer.

o'Dowd Had His Eyes Open.

Boston, July 15-Detective O'Dowd,
of the Manchester Police force, who
was on his way to Brockton, while
passing through Portland street, this
city, today, saw familiar figure on the
opposite side of the street. Getting
closer to the man, he recognized him
as John P. Murphy, desperate criminal,
who escaped from the House of Correc-
ton at Manchester, in May and
whom the police in several states have
been looking for since that time.
Murphy recognized the detective and
started on the run, but O'Dowd captured
him. At headquarters Murphy refused
to go back to New Hampshire without
requisition papers and he was locked up
in the city prison where he will be held
until the papers can be made out.
Murphy was sent to the House Of Cor
rection at Manchester for stealing a gold
watch and $40. The officials have never
been able to explain just how he got out
of the institution.

Raoew.y and F1ume Carried Away.
sIDoEFoRD's BOGUS CHECK MAN.
No One Knows Who He Is or Is Able to
Learn Anything.

Old Orchard, July 15.-"He Is con-
nundrum," said Trial Justice Yates in
reference to George L. Richards, a strang-
er arraigned Thursday forenoon on the
charge of cheating by false pretences.
At the request Of Chief Whittier a
charge of forgery had been mol pressed.
The prisoner was unattended by counsel.
He had retained Lawyer George 3. Haley
of Biddeford to defend him but was un-
willing to give the attorney any conf
Dental information concerning himself,
so the prisoner was abandoned to his
fate. He appeared to be familiar with
court procedure. He entered plea OF
not guilty and was bound over to the
supreme court. Bail was fixed at $780,
GAS soon as I get to the county Jail
sureties will be provided" he said.
A citizen of Sebago lake who was
in Biddeford Thursday, identified Rich
ards as the man who worked off bogus
check at SebagO recently,
