y Rochester woman vOuchcS for the
following story of an experience that
Bishop Potter, of New York had in
Connecticut:
Some time ago, the story goes. the
Bishop went on a visit to friends in
Connecticut. While there he was ask
ed to preach in n small church near
StoningtOn. The main support of the
little parish was Il wealthy widow, a
deNout churchwoman, and n friend of
the Bishop. She invited the prelate to
dinner, adding that she would consider
it privilege to offer him shelter over
night. As the next train out of the
hamlet left ut O'Clock Monday morn

ton.
y couple of hours after the Bishop
had left the house of Mrs. H.. who was
Il woman of n somewhat impetuous
nature, discovered that a hairbrush
and comb were missing from the room
occupied the previous night by Bishop
Potter
Hardly realizing what she was do
ing, the woman hurriedly dispatched
the following note to the Bishop in
New York:
Dear bishop: Is it possible hair.

A VALUABLE RELIC.
A PRICELESS HAIR FROM THE GREAT
MAHOME1's BEARD.

GA Talisman That Has More Than
Once Saved My Life, and Has Also
Brought Me Coed Fortune Says
The Owner, Mr.. Tahar.
A hair from the great Mahomet's
beard is now in New York.
1t has been here for weeks and its
occult presence may account for some
of the funny things that have happen
ed in that time.
The hair was brought to this coun-
try by Hadji Tahar Moorish mer-
chant in New York 1t is several
inches long. a faded gray-brown in
color. and, despite its great age of 1900
years, it is in good preservation.
Mr.. Tahar keeps it in an elaborate
inlaid case, which is in turn inclosed
in six other cases, each separately
locked by n differeat key.
Nobody needs TO be told that Ma
hcmetanS swear by the beard of the
Prophet 1t is in their eyes the most
potent of charms, and Mr.. Tahar firm
ly believes that this single hair of it
has brought good luck in turn to one
tribe after another of desert dwellers,
working many miracles, until it came
into his keeping. 1t has saved his life.
He never goes on journey without
1t.
The relic was laid away in the sixth
century" said Hadiji Tahar to a news

at Mecca. the hottest spot on earth,
where 1t was watched day and night

An OVERLOOKING TREASURY.

We invite a careful inspection OF
the official statement of the receipts
and expenditures of Bates county
flor the year ending the Both OF
April, published in this Issue of the
TIMES. It shows a balance in the
treasury of the snug sum of S43,-
783 90. It shows that the receipts
from ell sources were S40,121.4 3;
the amount expended 49,, 681.20 or a
net saving for the year of S7,24023
It shows that the finances of Bates
county, under democratic officials
and a democratic court, have been
managed wisely, judicisusly and
economically. While our sister coun.
ties are labering under debts, their
warrants going to protest and in a
bad shape generally, the Bates
county treasury is overlooking and
nice balance being added each
year We say the democrats party
of Bates county has right to be
proud of this showing, and we feel
like congratulatiug the members of
the old court, Judges Graves, KEN
per and Coleman, in performing
their duties well, faithfully and
economically, and the splendid be
ginning of the new court which has
had charge since the first of January
last.
In making this saving the csurt
has not been niggardly in the care
of it's insane and paupers, and in
keeping in repair and building
bridges and in keeping up the roads,
as the expenditures on these funds
will show. During the year a general
was held, which is always
expensive.
The democratic party is entitled
to the confidence of the people so
long as they continue to manage
affairs in this manner.
