Newly Made Relics.

In Florence purchased a small knocker
in the design Of griffin holding q heavy
ring in his mouth. The head of the ami
nal and the ring were worn quito smooth,
but the hollow reverse side which fitted
against the door was faxed with rust, and
the bolts used for fastening the knocker
were so coated that the nuts could not be
turned.
The knocker seemed several centuries
old, and yet when showed 1t to an Amer
lean in Florence. an expert who has FREE
quented the shops for years, no shook his
head and said:
"I'm not sure that it wasn't made in
Germany"
But it must be rather old Look at
the rust.
"The Germans can take piece Of iron
and rust it like that in two days"
But the ring is worn smooth from
handling"
st wouldn't take long to grind that
down and then polish 1t. Now, am on
the watch for receptions all the time, and
even am fooled occasionally. The Ger
mans will take my kind Of an antique
and copy it SO well that only the shrewd-
est judges can detect the fraud. Don't buy
any arInor or old lamps or coins or any
thing Of that sort until they have been
passed upon by connoisseur. Chicago

BLIND STRIKERS on PARADE
The Remarkable Spectacle Witnesset
ON the Streets Of Philadelphia.

a ~ n
The Remarkable Spectacle Witnessed
on the strests Of Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, June "a parade OF
blind men who are q strike for in
creased wages was Witnessed by Phila-
delphians today. There were $50 men
in the parade. and as they marched
through the streets, led by q band OF
music, they attracted the attention and
elected the sympathy Of all. The men
have been employed at the Pennsyl-
vania Working Home for Blind Men,
an institution which was established
by the state for the benefit of the blind.
but which has been transformed, 1t IL
alleged, into an individual money
making scheme. The institution re-
ceives a state appropriation Of 81 500
annually, and to this is added an an
nual appropriation Of 5000 from the
city.
The strikers assert that H. l.. Hall,
the manager of the institution, who
has been at its head for rs years, has
accumulated a fortune Of $3.50 900, and
lives In luxury on the grounds Of the
institution, at 3518 Lancaster avenue.
The blind men themselves have been
earning from - to IS per week, and
they ask an increase OF 10 cents day.
The OUTPUT of the institution last
year was SO, 090xbfa Ntts,~ which were
sold at $3.50 a dozen. Hall receives
a salary of 1880 year and percen-
tage on all stock bought.
Forty-hve Of the blind men are mar
ried and have families. The limit Of
earnings allowed by the rules of the
Institution is 50 per week, but such is
the system under Halls management,
say the strikers, that none are able to
earn above IS.

HOMESICkNESSIN THE ARMY
The Volunteers Malady That Is the
Hardest to Handle.


1t is the WEAKNESS Of the heart which
is today most feared by the surgeons Of
the Amerit an army in the Philippines;
the hope failure for innumerable men Of
the army in Cuba after whose names
eventually appears the entry, "Died, ma
larial fever"
Physicians use the technical name
nostalgia" in describing the disease. but
rarely care to attribute death to it be-
cause Of its many still unknown phases
and unstudied symptoms The dictionary
definition of this word is:
Morbid longing to return to ones
home or native country; Inconsistencies,
especially in its severe forms, producing
arrangement Of mental and physical
functions"
Writers for medical journals say that
the German army is more subject to
nostalgia than any other in existence;
that the German race possesses the
strongest tendency to melancholia when
long separated from familiar scenes.
That a man can die from Inconsistencies
seems incredible, perhaps. Yet a surgeon
Of the regular army whose experience in
Cuba was a varied one told me that aft
or the volunteers were once in Cuba and
in action the gravest danger which con-
fronted the men was the funk" result
ing from the irresistible longing for the
sight of the old home and the glimpse Of
faces near and dear. My friend of the
Thirteenth Minnesota in Manila confirms
this in the lines:
"Ihe heat bothers some, and the roads
are not blooming fine, but we could not
have finer set Of officers nor be treated
better for men who came out here to
fight and not to play marbles. What Is
troubling many of the boys land we are
not able to get at it, is that they know
spring has come in the home country,
and every man of them wants to hear Il
bluebird whistle and hear the call Of the
meadow lark The result of this is that
the fellows get tugsing at their hearts
that feels like big lump, and they go
down in a heap They don't seem sick,
but they just talk and think all the time
of home, and larruping wouldn't do
| them bit of good"
That's nostalgia.
| The cure for the disease is great exer.
ton Of Will power, liberal use Of water
internally and externally and diversion
of the mind from the painful thoughts.
The cure is much easier prescribed than
practiced. There is another remedy than
this, though which physicians readily
favor when practicable-see home.-Chi-
cago Times Herald.

A NICARAGUA REBELLION,
Mosquito Coast Indians Urge Chief
Clarence to Lead Them

Mosquito Coast Indians Urge Chief
Clarence to Lead Them,
Kingston, Jamaica, June Snail ad-
vices from the Mosquito coast say the
Indians there have rebellsd against tho
government Of Nicaragua, are taking
the war path and are sending dele
cation. to invite Prince Clarence to
head their rising, which, it Is said, will
probably receive financial support
from the foreign residents of the Mes
quito coast. Prince Clarence is now at
Kingston, but he recently declared he
would never break faith with the
British government, preferring his
easy retirement here to active life as
king of the Mosquito coast.
Prince Clarence, otherwise Chief
Clarence, the former ruler of the Mos
quito coast, Is now about rs years old
Some five years ago, as hereditary
chief Of the Mosquito coast territory,
he came into power over about 10000
subjects. Nicaragua At that time had
begun to encroach on the Mosquito ter
ritory, and Chief Clarence resisted sue
cessfully. But the state Of affairs
which followed compelled the United
States consul at Bluefields to ask pro-
lection for the Americans there, and
Chief Clarence, after repeated defeats,
was compelled to seek refuge on board
the United States cruiser Marblehead.
In August, 1894, he landed at King
ston. Jamaica, and has since been o
pensionsr of the British government.

Bound, Gagged, Robbed and Murdered

Chicago, June 8.-Martin Meier, n
wealthy and eccentric Swiss, was found
dead yesterday in house on Fifty
seventh street, which he occupied
alone. The condition In which he was
found points to murder, with robbery
as the motive. Meier's hands were
tied behind his back with rope, his
feet were bound with leather strap
and around his neck was twisted a
towel. Another towel was bound
around the old mans eyes. Nearly
every article In the house had been
overturned by supposed robbers. Meier
was marble polisher and was reputed
to have accumulated fortune of near
ly 100000. For years he had lived
alone in the little house, and had the
reputation of being miser.

SENATOR DEPEW'S SEAT.
It Will Be Just at the Right Of the
Presiding OfIicer.

Chauncey Depew will probably feel
much at home in the senate. 1t has been
announced that seat has already been
selected for him, and its location has
been given, but the important significance
of the selection has not been remarked.
The greatest delicacy and regard for the
fitness Of things is always observed in
matters pertaining to the arrangements
of the senate.
The habits Of many dinners cling low
ingly about the new senator from New
York. If he had been given a remote
seat in the senate chamber, along the
outer edge or grouped with the common
assemblage he would have felt out Of
place. The seat of honor is always his at
table. There is no seat Of honor in the
senatc-or all are seats Of honor-but
long continued custom has its influence
upon the mind, and he was given seat,
therefore, just at the right Of the presid-
ing officer, where he is sure to feel at
home.
This deicacy of consideration was car
ried even further. He was surrounded
by Il group Of the most gifted and bril-
liant takers In the senate, among whom
he will shine forth as II star Of most pc
cuiar brillancy. Assembled about him
will be Foraker, Spooner. Bcveridge and
Kean, and the little triangular section at
the right Of the vice president will be
known as the temple Of cloqucncc.
Spooncr and Foraker were regarded as
the best speakers in the senate during
the last congress. Bcvcridge's rcputa

Given Proper Foundation. They May
he Built Into the Clouds.
Architects and practical builders agree
that there is no theoretical limit to the
height Of a structure of steel or steel and
stone provided the materials are right and
the foundations capable. John NJ. Cor
nell, president of the Cornell Iron works,
says:
There isn't any limit to the height to
whielN al tuahiug may bo erected II the
foundat&onas strong enough to support 1t. +"
Tho subject from theoretical viewpoint
develops the snne argument. J. M. Farms
worth, an architect who has designed many
of the tall buildings in this city, gives 1t
as his opinion that a building might be
erected an indefinite number Of miles up
into the air until 1t strikes a limit caused
by some possible, but unknown atmos-
pheric condition. "That ia beyond ques-
tion," says he, at being understood, of
course, that the extent and strength Of the
foundations be In proportion to tho strain
to be put upon them. 1t Is true THAI every
building material, even eternal rock, has
its crushing point but 1t IL equally true
that certain materials may be so combined
and employed in the construction Of high
buildings as to keep them well within the

ter how high. On ordinary soil tho weight
carrying capacity Is not much over four
pounds per square inch. Thus the range
between those two conditions must be pro-
vided for by piles and other foundation
devices Buildings up to 30 stories high
are safB usually when resting on wooden
piles. Stronger supports are needed for
higher structures. 1t is matter Of pro-
portion all the way through, and therefore
no one may say that there Is limit to
the height Of buildings. 1t is certain that
if such limit does exist 1t will never DO

Murder Charge Not Sustained,

New York, June S.-The police de-
partment said yesterday that at least
part of the story told in Philadelphia
Tuesday night by Mrs. Samuel Mckinney
accusing her husband Of several crimes
is true. The woman declared that Nc
Kinney killed a man in Irvington, N,
Y, in 1874, and that he had robbed
John Wendell of this city, of 5000
worth OF securities. The murder story
cannot be authenticated, but the police
say that John Wendell was robbed by
Mckinney, who was caretaker for him,
in 1895. The theft was reported to the
police at the time, but they were un-
able to do anything about it.

ments, but Just as the committee was
about to adjourn for the day slight
clash occurred between the Mazetters
and court of law. Subpoenaes were
issued by Magistrate Olmstead and
served upon the members and ON tho
counsel of the committee to attend the
examination of Henry G. Henderson
this morning in the Centre street po-
lice court. Henderson is Captain
Prices counsel, who was elected from
the court room last week.
Mr.. Mazet Immediately said that the
committeeman would not answer. as
members Of the legislature were not
amenable to ordinary subpoena. Mr..
Hoffman differed, saying that As the
legislature was not In session there
was no immunity. Mr.. Moss, to
smooth over matters. said he would
send q note to Magistrate Olmstead
asking that the hearing be set for some
time which would not interfere with
the committees work.
The most important witness exam
lined yesterday was Captain Price. and
the main Of the work Of the committee
was In examining Price end other wit
nesses In an effort to show that the
police captain had not attended to his
duty as 4 police Officer. Much Of the
same enmity that was shown the COM
mittee by Price on previous days was
exhibited, and the captain was no
ticeably defiant and menacins In his
attitude toward Mr.. Moss.
Other witnesses were examined to
show that pool rooms, policy shops and
other gambling houses were running
In the "tenderloin" district without
molestation from the police. Captain
Price denied that there were any such
establishments in the district, and sew
eral other policemen pleaded ignor-
ancs of their existance.
