WRECK OF THE CHARLESTON.
Exact Date of the Disaster Furnish.
ed Secretary Long.

In answer to a telegram addressed to
Rear Admiral Watson, at Manila, asking
for the exact date of the wreck of the
cruiser Charleston, off the north coast of
Luzon about which there were conflicting
statements, the Secretary of the Navy to-
day received the following from Captain
Lutte, commanding the CaYite naval sta
ton. who is presumably acting in Ad-
miral Watson's place:
Charleston wrecked November . Last seen
November -, under water from stern TO smoke
stack. Three unsuccessful attempts to get near
her; heavy typhoon since; expect Culgoa with
later news Officers and crew all safe and well.
Naval officers believe that this settles
the fate of the Charleston. They say that
there is hardly any hope OF saving her.
The Culgoa went from Hongkong last week
to the relief Of the Charleston, and it is
supposed here that she had wrecking ap-
paratus on board.

The Reformatory value Of Happines.

/ believe it is Mr.. Stevenson who
says that the duty of being happy
is the most underrated duty in the
world. And in spite of all we may
wish or assert to the contrary there
is indubitable evidence that happi-
ness. up to date, at least, has a basis
in physical well being. ] supposed
one of the reasons why the reform
ers of the earth have not been nota-
bly, delightful persons to live with
is because they were either too busy
or too tired TO be happy. And yet a
happy man, and especially happy
woman, is radiating focus of re-
form, for such a person possesses
that gentle and diffused persuasive
ness which leads us into willing
good endeayor simply because it
displays to us the good taste of en-
joying fine behavior Helen Wat

CAPTURED A HORSE THIEF.
Having Shot Him The Captors are

Two brothers named Sullivan,
living east of Miami surrendered to
Deputy Stanard and came down
today for examination by the COM
missioner. last term of Miami court
court young man, Will Walden,
was indicted for stealing a horse
from Bill Morris. The Sullivans
knew of the writ being issued,
learned of Waldron's whereabouts
and as reward of $25 was offer
ed they endeavored to arrest him.
One of the brothers had a pistol,
the other a shot gun. When they
had discovered Waldron. their
story is that letting down the ham,
mer of the gun it went off, by ac-
dent. Certain it is that a charge
of shot went through the boys
hip, but his chances of recovery
seem excellent. The examination
will be deferred, probably until
Waldron can be brought down to
testify.

The CORONATION CHAIR.
1t Is Claimed as the Most Precious Relic
In All England.


In All England.
The most precious relic in all Eng
land, and to the English in all Eu-
rope, is an old Gothic chair which
stands in the Chapel of St. Edward
in Westminster abbey beside the
sword and shield of Edward iii. 1t
is made of black oak in the Gothic
style, and the back is covered with
carved inscriptions, including the
initials of many famous men. The
feet are four lions that look like
poodle dogs with their tails curled
up over their backs. The seat is
large stone about 80 inches long by
1S inches wide and 12 inches thick,
and all the sovereigns of England
for the last 500 years have sat upon
it when they were crowned. The
chair is known as the coronation
chair, and the stone is claimed to be
the same which Jacob, the son of
Isaac, the son of Abraham, used as
a pillow when he lay down to sleep
on the starlit plains of Judah that
memorable night as he was on his
way from Beersheba to Haran in
search of a wife. 1t was then he
had his dream and saw angels and
archangels. ascending and descend
ing ladder that reached to heaven,
and Jehovah came to him and made
the great promise which is being
fulfilled to the Jews this very day.
And Jacob took the stone and set
it up for a pillow and poured oil
upon it and vowed VOW and called
the name of the place Bethel.
The kings of Israel were crowned
upon this stone from the time that
they ruled a nation-David and Saul
and Solomon and all the rest.
The story goes that $50 years be-
fore Christ, at the time of the Baby
lonian captivity, Circa, daughter of
Zedekiah, the last king of Judaa, ar
rived in Ireland and was married
at Tara to Heremon, prince of the
Tuatha de Danan, which is said to
be the Celtic name of the tribe of
Dan. The traditions relate that this
princess went originally to Egypt in
charge of the prophet jeremiah, her
guardian, and the palace Taphanes,
in which they resided there, was
discovered in 1885 by Dr. Petrie. the
archHologist. After some yeas
they went hence to Ireland, and
from Circa and Heremon Queen Vic
toria traces her descent through
James ], who placed the lion of the
tribe of Judah upon the British
standard
jeremiah is said to have conceal
ed this sacred stone at the time of
the destruction of Jerusalem and the
captivity of the Jews and to have
brought it, "the stone of the testi-
mony," Bethel, the only witness of
the compact between Jehovah and !
Israel, TO Ireland, where it was
known as the liza phail (stone won
derfuD. 1t was carried to Scotland !
by Fergus /, and thence to London |
in the year 1900, and has been used
at the coronation of every king and
queen of England from Edward
down to Victoria. 1t is thus the
most priceless historical object in
the British empire, as it was the
palladium of Israel. 1t is curious
fact that the affairs of Ireland were
called bothel, houses of God.
In the same chapel surrounding
the coronation chair in Westminster
abbey are the graves of six kings, |
FIVE queens, four princesses, a duke |
and a bishop. w. E. Curtis in Chi
