the ones who were elected to succeed the
ones rejected from the United States ser

Consequently the men have had expert

should be efficient. Before they can be

THE SACRED CARPET.
All, Neither Does 1t Look Any
thing Like One.

1t is England's wise policy in all her
colonies to have her army take part in
the national religious ceremonies. So
when the Sacred Carpet started from
the citadel on its journey to Mecca
there was magnificent military dis
play. 1t IS an odd thing to call 1t q
carpet, for 1t not only is not carpet
In itself, but it is not the shape of a
carpet, it is not used for carpet, and
does not look like carpet.
We were among the fortunate ones
who were invited to the private view of
it the night before, when the faithful
were dedicating it. They sat on the
floor, these Mohammedans, rocking
themselves, back and forth and chant
ing the Koran.
The carpet" is black velvet EN-
broidered solidly in silver and gold.
1t is shaped like an old-fashioned Meth
odist church, only there are minarets
at the four corners. 1t looks like a
pail. Every year they send new one
to Mecca, and then the old one is cut
into tiny bits and distributed among
the faithful, who wear it next their
hearts. This carpet was about six feet
long, and was rallied in SO that no one
could touch it. A man stood by and
sprayed altar of roses on you as you
passed, but do not know what he did
it for, unless it was to turn sensitive
women faint with the heavy perfume.
But the next morning the procession
formed, and amid the widest enthusi-
asm, the bowling and salaaming of the
men and the shouting and running of
the children. and the singing of the
Arabs who bore the carpet, it was
placed upon the most magnificent cam
el ever saw, which was covered from
head to foot with cloth of gold, and
whose very gait seemed more majes-
tic because of his sacred burden, and
THIS, led by scores of enthusiastic
Arabs, he moved slowly down the street
following the covering for the tomb,
and in turn being followed by one
scarcely less magnificent destined to
cover the sacred carpet in its camel
journey to Mecca. This was absolutely
all there was to it, yet the khedive was
there with fine military escort, and
all Cairo turned ont at the unearthly
hour of eight o'clock in the morning
to see it.-Lilian Ball, in Woman's
Home Companion.

FOR LEAN P0cKETBOOKS
Promise of an Abundance OF Coun-
terfeit stones as Good
as Any.

Manufacturers of imitation jewelry
have lately met with such great success
that II is said the sale of genuine jew
elry in this city is less than ever be
fore, and it is also said on good author
ity that large amounts of capital are
soon to be invested in the manufacture
of imitation jewelry. For some time
past 1t has been possible to obtain jmi.
tation jewelry in France and England
which is difficult of detection by ex-
perts, but the business has never be-
fore been taken up in this country to
any great extent.
The principal manufacturers expect
to deal in jewels of their own manufac-
ture which are said to be extraordi-
nary fine limitations of the real stones
and will have guaranteed life of 20
years. The diamonds" are compost
ton of glass, lead and carbon, tipped
with platinum, which is harder than
gold. Every real stone, except a dia-
mond, is transparent; without the tip
of platinum these diamonds" would
also be transparent, but with it they
are given an undetectable resemblance
to the genuine stone. These goods are
mounted in 14-carat gold and SO artis-
tically that, when worn, the platinum
tipping cannot be seen. An infinite
variety of designs, copied from the best
real models, are shown and at price
which is about so per cent. less than the
genuine.
All the colored stones-rubies, sap
phires, emeralds and turquoises-are
also manufactured in like way and
are similar, with the exception of the
turquoise, to the doublet, except that
they are much harder and are made
of real stone (garnet) and crystal.
They are SO hard that the surface can
be filed and no blemish made on the
stone AS genuine pearls are the most
costly of gems, SO do the imitation
pearls take the lead in price. They are
made of fishskin and secret compost
ton. The manufacture of some espe-
cially good imitation pearls, known as
Venetian pearls" is lost art. the
process having been invented by poor
Venetian, whose secret died with him.
There are about 10000 of them in this
country, bought in Paris about ten
years ago; they are very hard, can be
stepped on without sustaining the
slightest injury and will also bounce
like a rubber ball. The difficulty in
the manufacture Of pearls is in OBJ
tanning the orient, or luster, similar to
the genuine gems, and it is said that
very often out of 10000 manufactured
few viii be marketable, and they are
almost as difficult to match for neck
laces as the real. A dog collar of imita-
ton pearls, with diamond" clasps,
would cost about $250.-N. Y. Post

Beautiful German.

On Friday night last, several yount
men of Big Stone Gap and Stonegi
gave in honor OF Mr.. and Mrs
Edward Everett Goodloe a most de.
lightful and charming german a
the Intermont hotel. Oh their way
down, the enthusiastic contingent
from Stonega got lost f1r some time,
being unable on account Of the dark.
ness and dampness to tell the
difference between the bed Of Looney
Greek and the middle of the County
road. They arrived rather late,
somewhat the worse for wear. but,
nevertheless, succeeded in getting a
good deal of enjoyment out of that
part of the german which they did
attend.
The german was led by Mr. II. j..
Ayers and Miss Churchill in their
usual happy and graceful manner,
and Mesdamcs Bullitt, j. NJ. Goodloe
and Cochran lent dignity and charm
to the occasion as chaperones. The
dresses OF the young ladies were
beautiful and graceful, to such a
degree, indeed, as to defy description
by a society reporter who can not
distinguish the difference between a
blue organdie and a cream silk, that
is, where there are SO many radiant
and laughing eyes. Because of
exceeding darkness ont Of doors,
he young people danced on until the
9arly morning hours, when the black
curtains of night were clearing away,
md then went home, each and every
voting 1t the finest german the
own has witnessed for several
months.

Telephone Connections.

A dispatch from Bristol to tn,
Knoxville Sentinel, under date o.
May 18th says:
The extension Of the telephone
lines in southwest Virginia and East
Tennessee is attracting widespread
interest and it is positively believed
that Bristol will ere long be connected
with all the important towns in Ten
nessee and Virginia and cities OF
other states.
Beanregard Laughon. president OF
the Pulaski Telephone company, of
Pulaski, Virginia, and James Mason,
president of the Glade Springs Tele
phone company, same state, were in
Bristol yesterday for the purpose Of
extending the former line to this city.
MIR. Laughon's company recently
gained control of every telephone line
operating between Abingdon, Va,
aud Pulaski, Va, a distance of about
miles.
His visit here yesterday was for the
purpose of purchasing the line be
tween Bristol and Abingdon, which
is at present owned and operated by
East Tennessee Telephone CON-
pany. 1t is believed that unless the
-
company does get this line
they will not delay but begin at once

him during the past week, with big

Coke Ovens at Toms Creek.

Tons CREEK, Va, May 1O.-The
Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Com
pany has begun work on the founda-
ton for $50 coke ovens which will be
built as fast as possible. All forces
are being rapidly increased, and a
number of the ovens are expected to
be completed by next fail. There
have already been several car loads
of steel rail received which will be
used Immediately in building tracks
to and about this plant. There will
be another large washer and several
tipples built to supply these ovens.
Heretofore they have had 215 ovens
in constant use, but the output does
not meet the demand for the high
grade Of coke which they produce.
This year, up to May LIST, they have
shipped near 1000 cars of coal aud
coke from this point.

night and was derailed. The engine
with only a caboose was running a
few minutes ahead Of the regular

result of the wreck the passenger
train returned to Norton and did not
come out again until the regular time
the next evening. The engine was
derailed in a cut and was very diff

track was cleared about ten o'clock
Saturday morning. No one was hurt
