Six feet and one inch is a fine record
For a running high jump, and FOR a
woman II Is extraordinary.
1t has been made 10y a seventeen
year-old Brooklyn school girl. The
worlds amateur record Is at present
held by NJ. +. Sweeney, with Is feet
8, inches. Ten years ago the best
man could not beat the Jump Of feet

In 1887 the record for the United
States was held by T.. W. Johnson,

Miss Brooks is the daughter of
George W Brooks, and is the cham
pion feminine athlete of Adelphia
Academy. For eight years she has
been a pupil in that school, and an
enthusiast in athletics and gymnastics.
She easily carries of the palm as the
best all-around athlete in a large class
Of girl gymnasts, and her powers and
endurance, her grace and agility, are
simply marvellous.
Miss Brooks comes OF a family of
athletes. She is the only daughter
among six children. Her five brothers

Precious stones are liable 90 one
sommon infirmity-that Of adding or
losing color when long exposed TO the
light. The emerald, the sapphire and
the ruby suffer the least, their colors
being as near permanent as color can
be. In the case of the garnet and to-
paz the change is more rapid than in
that of the ruby and sapphire, but
there is curious difference in the re-
suit in topaz and garnet, for, while
the latter grows lighter the former APP
pears TO become cloudy and dull in
hue, losing much of the brightness
characteristic of newly-cut gem.
Microtomists say that the prismatic
colors Of the opal are due 10 myriads
of minute cracks in the body OF the
stone, the edges of which reflect the
light at different angles and gives the
hues so much admired. Opals that
have succe ssfully passed the ordesls
of grinding, polishing, and setting DO
not often crack afterward, but il is
best not 10 expose them 20 even the
moderate heat involved by the wearer
sitting In front of an open fire, for
the opal is composed principally OF
silicic acid, while from five to thirteen
per cent. of water makes a combina-
ton which renders them very treach-
erous objects. A volume would no.
contain the stories told by expert jew
elers of the misfortunes of pearls.
Consisting almost entirely of carbon
ate of lime, they are easily damaged,
and, when once injured, cannot be re-
stored.

Kennedy Threw a Pick at Barclay, strik-
ing Him the Head-1he Assail-
mt Took to the Hills.

Information was received here yes
terday of an ARRAY that occurred at
the new mining camp of Mammoth,
in Madison county, which may result
in the death of one of the parties con-
cerned in the matter. William Barclay
and L. y. Kennedy, rival storekeepers,
became involved in quarrel last
spring over a mining claim, and since
then have been bitter enemies. Satur
day morning they met in front of the
store kept by Kennedy and soon were
renewing their old trouble. Barclay
finally started 10 walk across the street,
leaving Kennedy standing alone. Just
what words had passed between them
is not known, as none of the witnesses
We're near enough to hear what was
said. When Barclay was near the mid
die of the street Kennedy threw a pick
at him, which he had been holding In
his hand. The point OF the pick struck
Barclay in the back of the head. near
the base of the brain. and he fell down
unconscious.
A couple of men who saw him fall
carried him into his store and a mes
senger was at once sent to Pony for
medical aid. DIR. Smith responded. and
with the assistance of DIR. Davis of
Whitehall, removed a couple of pieces
Of the skull which was found to have
been badly fractured. After the opera
ton Barclay appeared to be somewhat
better. but the doctors thought his
chances of recovery were very small.
After seeing what he had done. Ken
nedy ran into his store, and SELLING a
Winchester rifle. took to the hills, since
which time nothing has been heard of
him at Mammoth. 1t is claimed that he
said he would never permit himself TO
be taken alive.
At the time of the occurrence the wife
of Barclay was in this city and lats in
the evening received dispatch from
jefferson island informing her of the
AFFAIR and she left for that place short
ly after. Barclay is about 30 years old
and arrived at Mammoth about a year
ago from Minnesota. Kennedy Is a few
years older and unmarried and has
lived at Mammoth about the same
length of time as his victim. Previous
10 that time he worked for the North
err Pacific al some point in Oregon.

other municipalities of the depart

ment should he asked To give their

the Hautes- Sayoyards and the people
of Chamounix wish it to be under

is i'll France, and not In Switzerland,
and that ChamouniX is the chief town

pefhdious Albion is Mt the bottom OF
this desire To change the name. The
fact is that 20 out of 100 persons who
have never seen Mont Blanc. and Of
those who visit chamounix for the
first time. would say. IL they were ask
ed, that Mont Blanc il in Switzerland.
The worthy municipal councillors of
Annecy are too polite, and. perhaps.
too polite, to lay the charge at the door
OF their English visitors, but there is
no doubt what was in their minds. The
tone of their remarks makes il clear
that they are much irritated by the
Supposition that their monarch Of the

great reason for desiring the change
is to make ii clear to all men that Mont
