LOCK OF HAIR BROUGHT s42.
Four Hundred Years Old and Be-
Ionged 10 Edward Nv.

A curious relic fell under the auc-
tioneer's hammer at the London Auc-
tion Rooms a day or two ago. 1t was
by its purchaser at $42. The lock of
hair I'm question belonged TO Edward
Nv. and is over 400 years old. 1t has
only been treasured up for some 109
years. The circumstances under which
II was obtained are explained in copy
of the Universal Magazine dated
April 1889.
The hair was found accidentally at
Windsor by some workmen, and the
article dealing with the subject says
the the workmen employed in st.
Georges Chapel at Windsor in new paw
ing the choir discovered on March 10 a
decay in the stone which closed up the
entrance into the vault where Edward
Nv. had been deposited. Two of the
canons and the surveyor entered the
vault and viewed the royal body en-
closed in a wooden and leaden coffin.
1t was reduced to skeleton. which
measured six feet three inches, the
skull reclining to the north or left side,
with quantity OF long brown hair
which had fallen off il, but no traces
OF envelope or cere cloth nor any rings
or other insignia. On the Kings cof-
fin lay another OF wood, only much de-
cayed, which contained the skeleton of
a woman, who from the marks OF age
about the skull was supposed to be that
who died three years after him in con-
finement at Bermondsey Abbey. and
was probably buried with less pomp."
The lock sold the other day was then
obtained by one of the canons. in whose
family 1t has remained ever since

The Coal BarOnS Defeated
Providence GrayS,
EGAN PITCHED GOOD GAME
O'Neil's OFF, Color Decision Turned
Tide Against Grays,
EASTERN LEAGUE STANDING

A big crowd saw the wikesbarres
defeat the Grays at Rocky Point yes
terday. 1t was fine contest from
start to finish, but one in which luck
was against the home team. Egan
was on the slab for the Grays and
pitched winning game until Umpire
O'Neil made him the victim OF one of
his way-off decisions. Then the Prov
idence twirler seemed to grow careless,
and the game went against the home
team Three clean hits by Walters,
Cassidy and Canavan, with combina-
tion base-stealing pay between Cassidy
and Canavan. produced the first two
runs. The Grays got their third one
on called balls TO Stouch. q sacrifice by
Cooney and wild pitch. Canavan
drew four balls, Leahy sacrificed, and
Canavan scored the fourth run from
second on Crisham's hit. Canavan
also scored the fifth run, while the field
ers were hunting for the ball he hit out
of sight.
In the first four innings the Wilkes
barre team scored but one run. A wild
throw on hard chance by Cassidy, to-
gether with three scratch hits, gave
the Barons that run In the first in
ming. With two on bases, Egan struck
out the next man UP.
In the fifth inning the Grays bunch
ed three errors but allowed the Barons
to get only one run out OF II. One of
Dunkles bingoes fell too short for Wal
ters to reach II. and 1t got away from
him on the bound. Cassidy made
wide throw on Goeckers grounder, but
held Dunkle at second base in making
the play. There was already one out.
and In trying to make double play to
shut out the side, Canavan was forced
TO throw the ball around the runner go
ing to second. 1t was just too wide for
Cooney to reach IL, and the Barons
scored one and had two on bases.
Lynch took a fly in left field, and Egan
struck out Atherton, with men on Sec
ond and third.
Three singles and double netted
and they were only one behind. In the
eighth, with one out and two strikes on
Mcmahon. Egan split the plate at good
height, and IL was called a ball, and then
he gave Mcmahon his pass to first.
Coughln hit safe. Cassidy made fine
catch OF Gonding's foul fly. and two
were out. Dunkle dropped one of his
punky hits in short right centre and
McMahon tied the score. Then came
Goeckers fly to the swamp. which
Lynch reached for with one hand and
the winning run was scored. Once
more. with men on third and second
bases, Egan struck out the third man..
No one could do anything to get that
run back in the single turn at bat that |
remained, and the Barons had won a
great uphill fight. The score:

Agreed to by Spain.

lomaticaliy one of the busiest since the
outbreak of the war. There We're no
fewer than three cabinet councils in ad-
dition to various diplomatic conferences
Though the text of the protoco. was not
received until the evening was well ad-
vanced the government had been made
fully acquainted with its contents
through Paris. The matter was prac-
tically settled at the cabinet meeting in
the afternoon. and the receipt of the
actual document, therefore. only re-
qUired a meeting of the cabinet for
formal acceptance.
Ministers adhere to the statement that
the protocol contains no modification Of
the original terms, but only new sug-
Festions. They expect ii VIII he signed
at Washington today and that
a suspension of hostilties will be an
nounced. Duke Almodovar Ge Rio. min
lister of foreign AFFAIRS. assures the cor
respondent of the Associated Press that
the negotiations for the peace treaty
will take place in Paris, but he says the
commissioners have not yet been ap-
pointed. The terms of the protocol will
not be published until the instrument
has been signed.
London, Aug. I2-The Madrid corre-
spondent OF The Daily Mail says: THE
first condition of the protocol is an
armistice. This will be declared imme-
diately. The conditions are the same
as those proposed by President McKfn-
ley. The impression prevails that the

! TO sign it was very gratifying to the ad-
ministration- 1t is confidently expected
that the signatures will be affixed to
this document today and Immediately
thereafter both governments will begin
carrying out its provisions. The first
will be the cessation of hostilities, fol-
lowed Immediately by the occupation of
Manila by General Merritt and the
United States troops upder his COM
mand, the occupation of San Juan in
Porto Rico by General Miles. and the
evacuation of that island by the Span
fish forces.
It is believed that there will be delay

as some difficulties are anticipated in
arranging for a proper form of govern
ment of Cuba, and because there is no
desire to hurry American troops into
the island at the present time the pref
erence being TO wait for cooler weather.
There is good authority for the state
ment that Secretary Day will be at the
head of The peace commission and that
two United States senators Will be
members of it. Allison, of Iowa. and
German, of Maryland, have been prom
inently mentioned for places on the
commission, and it is known that they
have been under consideration by the
president
1t is not believed by members of the
administration that the commission can
complete its work in time to cause an
extra session of congress to consider
legislation which the treaty. of peace
will necessitate. although there is a
senate might be called in November to
consider the treaty of peace.
