The crown of Roumania is composed
of gun metal-made, in fact, out of q
bit of old cannon captured ut Plevna;
that of Portugal has gems in it which
have caused it to be valued at SIS, O0O, 600.
The iron crown of Lombardy, which,
by the by, is the Oldest diadem in Eu-
rope, is only six inches in diameter.
The question usually asked by those
who behold it for the first time is:
Where is the iron2 For to all appear
ances the crown consists of a broad
circle Of gold ornamented by an enam-
cling of flowers. This, however, is but
the outward case-withjn the coronet
rests the iron itself, It is fashioned
out of one of the nails by which Christ
was fastened to the cross. The crown
now rests in the Cathedral of Monza.
Italy, and is under the care of the
monks of the establishment. These
holy men call attention to the fact that
while no attempt has ever been made to
clean the baser metal, still there is no
sign Of rust upon it--a fact which con-
clusively proves it's sacred origin.

PLEASANT WAY TO DUN.
Delinquent Customer Pays Up on Re-

a Cleveland hardware man, prompt
ed by an article recently on the subject
of collecting poor accounts. writes
agreeing that more is to be accom-
plished by dunning letter couched ir
good-natured language than one
breathing threats in harsh words, and
relates the following, says Hardware.
as an illustration:
ut was our custom to have a new
clerk put in his spare time writing let
tiers to slow customers. A clerks mer-
it's were measured largely by the result
Of this work. Up in Michigan we had Il
particularly bad case. 1t was bill of
$12 against Il man named William Rose.
1t had become outlawed, and was con-
sidered dead duck, but every once in
awhile we gave it a whirl. Finally one
day, the last clerk put on, a bright young
fellow, laid the following verses on my
desk and asked permission to mail
them to Rose:
oh, William Rose, oh, fragrant rose,
Yourself 1t is who surely knows
Unsettled bills are bad.
They soil our books, they spoil our looks,
And make the heart grow sad.
So William Rose, feel In your clothes
And find twelve dollars there.
The goods were sold In days Of old
Before we had white hair. A..

a week the man sent us the money,
explaining that he had always intend
ed to pay the account some time, but
couldn't hold out no longer against such

standing at the war department that
the new bill now pending i'm congress
providing for the enlistment of over
10. 600 "immuues" ana a brigade Of en-
gineers will be modified So as to leave
it discretionary with the president to
recruit probably 5000 men made up
of such special classes as he may deem
best for the service. These classes, it is
expected will include "immunes," sig
nal corps cowboy companies and artil-
lery and engineer regiments. This
course is regarded at the war depart
ment as better than that proposed in
the bill. in that it will enable the presi-
dent to provide for obtaining such
troops as he may think best.

THE splendid victory achieved by
the American fleet at Manila is the
subject of much comment among
naval experts in Europe. In an in
terview Vice Admiral Colomb, of the
English navy, and the author of sew
eral naval works, said 81 doubt if
there ever was such an extraordinary
illustration of the influence of sea
power A superior fleet has attacked
and beaten a Spanish fleet supported
by batteries, and it now appears il
passed those batteries and has taken
upan unassailable position off Manila
The boldness of the American com
mander is beyond question. Hence
forth he must be placed in the Val
halla of great naval commanders
Nothing can detract from the dasl
and vigor of the American exploit oI
dim the glory which Dewey has sheC
upon the American navy 1t may b,
bad for the world, for assuredly tn,
American navy will never accept 1
subordinate place after this exhibi
tion of what il can do
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1898-05-06

The one point to he kept in mind
all the while is the protection Of
American interests at home and
abroad, and the present national Ad-
ministration evidently means to main
tain that policy at all events, no
matter whether it pleases Russia,
Germany or any other Power. This
nation now occupies "a foremost posi-
tion, and it must be reckoued witt
by other governments from that
standpoint.
