Nothing that could be done by the Bap-

international Convention of the Baptist
Young Peoples Union complete success
was wanting. The amplest preparations
were made for the entertainment OF the
visitors. Many of the stores were deco
rated. and the Auditorium, which was
built three years ago for the great Con
federate reunion, had been altered TO
meet the requirements OF the convention;
A most admirable service was rendered
bv the leading paper OF Richmond the
Dispatch. OF which that excellent Baptist
jayman. Mr.. II. Theodore Ellyson, is one
of the propretors. Its issue of July l3th
gave a conspectus OF the history OF the
eitv of Richmond and of the Richmond
Raptist churches. that at once made the
stranger familiar with local conditions.
In addition 10 this, it published many
columns describing the work and pur-
poses of the Young Peoples Union and
brief personal sketches Of the principal
sneakers and members OF the various
committees. Mr.. Ellyson could not nave
done anything more helpful 10 the con
vention than this unique bit Of newspaper
enterprise.

IIse of n Great Name.

Here's tip for some of our old friends who have big names and need a little ready money; Turner Beall, president of the Produce Exchange Trust Company, used to be secretary of the Produce Exchange and of the New York Southern Society Among the men of his acquaintance he ad- mires none so much as does Colonel William de Hertburne Washington. A little while ago he asked Colonel Washington if he might use his name in a financial transaction. Having i'm plicit faith in Beall, the colonel con sented, and was pleased to receive a short time afterward a check for $15,o00, his share of deal made by his friend on the strength of the name of Washington.

A RARE DOLLAR.
A Big Lawsuit Over It's Ownership
 $I,5OO Offered For It.


 The New York Evening Post re- ports curiously complex situation at Racine, Wis, over the ownership of a silver dollar of the coinage date of 1904. It is said that only one of four of these dollars ever left the mint, and they are consequently very valuable The dollar in question was given sev- eral months ago by q woman whose name, if known, is kept secret, to Lad islar Altmann, clerk in the dry goods store of l.. T. Hartnett in payment for goods bought The woman did not know that the dollar was worth more than its face value; in fact, she hesi- tated about using it at all for fear that it was not genuine. The clerk, with out knowing how rare the coin was recognized it as an odd piece and put 1t into his pocket, handing over to the cashier dollar of his own For sey- eral months thereafter he carried the 1864 dollar about as pocket piece. One day he showed it to a friend at bank and was informed that it was worth not less than $500. In order to verify this estimate he sent it to a coin buyer in Chicago. who promptly offered $1,500 for it. The clerk still did not sell, having heard that a sim liar coin had sold for 3 still larger sum in New York. But, though he did not sell. he talked. and the story reached the ears of Mir. Hartnett, his employer. MT. Harnett promptly claimed that the dollar either belonged to the funds of the store or to the woman who had tendered it without knowing it's value. He demanded that it be returned and held for the wom- an If she could not be found ho el4 ned that the coin belonged to him. The clerk claims that he was justified in substituting his dollar for the one paid in, and pertinently calls attention to the fact that had the coin proved a bad one he would have been held re- sponsible. Both sides have employed attorneys and q lawsuit seems in eyifable

MYSTERY OF THE HANDSPRING.
Some Breakages Not Yet Understood
 Despite Much Tnyestigat ton.


 Despite the investigations regarding the structure of mainsprings and the efforts to improve them; despite the experimentation and theorizing on the subject, some of the causes of the breaking of mainsprings remain an un= solved mystery. Many, indeed, are the known causes responsible for breaking. such as faulty construction or tenn pering, careless handling, leading to the formation of rust and poor fitting, but after all these which are recognized have been eliminated there still re- mains the fact well known to watch makers that the best springs will, in spite of the most careful handling and proper adjustment, unexpectedly break, sometimes ill a number of places. It Will thus happen that of two springs made at the same time by the same process, of the same material. tenn pered in the same way and handled With the same care, one may last for years while the other may break after two Weeks, use, or even while being placed in the barrel When it is con- s1dered that the spring is but from JUS to .009 of an inch in thickness; that the material must be subjected to q process which shall give it a high state of elasticity, and at the same time enable it to do it's prescribed work for years, slight molecular disarrange- ment in it's structure may be expected to occur from causes too insignificant for observation. Many jewellers state that it is their experience that they have many more mainsprings to repair after warm, humid day than at any other time Others believe the break ing to be due to electric disturbances, stating that after an electrical storm they find that many of their custom CTS bring their watches to them for repair. The sudden cooling and con- sequent contraction of the tightly wound handspring, caused by the re- moyal Of the watch from the body on a cool night following warm day, is believed by some to account, in meas ure, for the accidents mentioned. So far, however, no entirely satisfactory explanation has been suggested. The only conclusion to be drawn from the acknowledged facts of the case is that t is not safe for the watehmaker to 4fer, merely from the breaking of a handspring, that it is of an inferior grade, nor for his customer to believe the Watchmaker deficient in ski1Ibe cause the handspring Of his time piece has snapped shortly after being replaced.

Told of a Royal Lad,

A writer in London Telegraph tells the following story about the king of Spain as throwing light on that royal lads life: One day, during his history lesson, the king asked his professor to tell him how Spain came to lose Chile, Mexico and other Spanish-American colonies. The story was narrated so thrillingly and artisticalIy that the royal boy listened spellbound and con- tinued after it had ended to sit ab- sorbed in meditation. At last a thought having struck him, he looked up to his professor and inquired: What must I do in order to get back these countries for Spain 2 The first and most im- portant thing of all,' replied the eau tious and diplomatic pedagogue, is that your majesty should-should- grow up to be man.

FROZEN FOOD INDUSTRY.
Remarkable Increase in the Business In
 the Last Decade.


 From the Indianapolis News: Frozen food plays a part in the English econ omy that we in this country do not re- alize. although we are all familiar enough with cold storage houses and refrigerator cars. In 1880 London re eeiyed its first consignment Of 400 frozen carcasses of Australian sheep. In spite Of the prejudice against it, the traffic has grown until now there are eighty-eight vessels engaged in the traffic, with a carrying capacity of 6.700,000 careasses per annum. 4 single vessel sometimes lands at London TO- GOO carcasses of frozen mutton At one fRharf 10000 to 12,000 of such careasses are handled daily and one warehouse will hold 250,000 of them; all are from Australia and New Zea- land Sheep were imported into Aus tralia with the convicts to Botany bay q little more than century ago. and with the small population and the vast plains for grazing, f1ocks increased so that in 1867 a farmer is recorded who for four months of the year boiled down daily from 1000 to 1,500 sheep for their tallow and until 1880 it was common in Australia and New Zea- land to kill focks of sheep for their hides and tallow, leaving the careasses to manure the ground, as used to be done with cattle in South America. There is a difference between frozen and chilled meat. The meat that Eng land receives from America is chilled, but that sent from Australia, 13,000 miles away must be frozen. Australia and New Zealand have twenty-two freezing works in operation, whose total capacity is 100000 careasses per annum One of the results of the frozen and chilled meat trade is that people are now able to eat fresh meat who half a century ago could only get f{ as a lwyury. Naturally we are less dependent O. such food than England, but the growing use of refrigerator cars and cold storage houses is giving us variety of diet that was impossible few years ago.

The Celestial Mas Particular and Caused

 The various forms of oath-making, even in this country, are of consider able interest. It would not, however, be easy to find an instance ill which anything like so queer a medium of attestation was employed as guil lotined black coekatoo. But no less an extraordinary medium than that was what the police of country district in New South Wales had to provide the other day for a finiea1 Ghinaman, who declined to swear on anything else. Headless fowls were brought, but in vain, and as the matter was impor- tant, even a black swan. luxury surely for a Chinese witness, was sug- gested, only to be immediately refused After some time had elapsed, and when the representatives of the law seemed quite at their wits end, dead eoekatoo of the required hue was strangely discovered in a hut of one of the other celestials, who muleted the anxious officials in $250 for the bird Then the solemn and peculiar oath was duly administered, on which the diff cult witness with bland and childlike expression, declared he knew nothing about the case and sat down smiling!
