petriaed Water.

That beautiful transparent stone cali
ed Tabriz marble, much used in the
burial places of Persia and in their
grandest edihces, consists of the petri-
fled water of ponds in certain parts of
the country. This petrihcation may be
traced from its commencement to its
termination. In one part the water is
clear, in second it appears thicker and
stagnant, in a third quite black, and in
its last stage it is white like frost
When the operation is complete. d
stone thrown on its surface makes no
impression, and one may walk over it
without wetting ones shoes The sub
stance thus produced is brittle and
transparent, and sometimes richly
striped with red, green and copper color.
So much is this marble. which NAV be
cut into large slabs, looked upon as a
luxury that none but the king, his sons
and persons especially privileged are
permitted to take it.

HoLYoKE, Mass. June 20.-Today
was given up almost exclusively by
the President and party to the COM
mencement exercises at Mt. Holyoke
college. Here the President presented
the diplomas to the graduating class
Governor Wolcott addressed them, and
Rev. Or. Justin Smith, president of the
college board of trustees, also made an
address. Miss Grace Mckinley, niece
OF the President. was one of the gradual
ing class, and this fact, which is the
primary cause of the Presidents visit,
together with the fact that the President
OF the United States honored the town
and college by his presence, brought
large crowd and there was much enthu-
slasm on the part of the townspeople
and the college girls.
The party left Holyoke about $50,
and met Governor Woleott at the rail-
road station, and he accompanied them
to the college.
Final arrangements for the journey to
Springfield was completed. The main
point at issue was as TO whether the
trip will be made on board the little
steamer Mrscot down the Connecticut
river, or whether it will be made by
electric cars. This matter will likely be
decided today. The president announced
definitely that he would remain at

Companions Dead Bodies
Miles Away.

CIMRE Cry, ALASKA, May 80, via
San Francisco, June 20.-Three men
who left Dahl river on December 5, for
Jimtown, were not heard OF again and
they were supposed to have been lost.
Nothing was heard of them here till the
steamer Ridout arrived today.
The men We're Michael DAILY, Victor
Ediar and M. Provost. They We're from
Providence, r. l.; Woonsoclzet. R. L.,
and Broclzton, Mass. respectively.
Their bodies were discovered about II
mules from the mouth of Old Man creek,
they having lost the trail and become
bewildered. Having left Dahl river
with only three weeks food, but which
was amply sufficient for the 100 miles
to Jimtown, they We're soon reduced to
starvation.
Days body was found, partly eaten,
on the stove in the tent, Some scraps
of moose hide and mocassin were found,
of which they were endeavoring to
make a stew. Days body was identi-
fled by the clothes. The other two men
were found dead about five miles away
from the tent. The fact of the tent
flaps being shut down when found
would seem to preclude the possibility
of Days body having been eaten by
animals The other men doubtless We're
driven by hunger to the awful extremity
of cannibalism. Four hundred dollars
were found on the bodies.

Bryan the Democratic FavorIte

The gathering of the national commit
teemen and other prominent Democrats in
Chicago last week showed conclusively
that Mr.. Bryan is the choice of his party
for the next presidential candidate He
seemed to have the support of both the
conservative and extremist factions.
Mr.. Bryan delivered an address at the
auditorium, under the auspices of the Alt
geld faction, although he was careful to
announce that all Chicago platform Dem
ocrats looked alike to him. He discussed
the currency question, the trusts and ex-
pansion. He claimed that the sending of
3 commission to Europe to secure interna-
tional bimetallism was a confession that
the gold standard was unsatisfactory, and
he made plea for free coinage of silver
by the independent action of the United
States. After denouncing monopolies, he
said that the President can secure an at
torney general who will enforce the anti.
trust law, or recommend further legisla.
tion or constitutional amendment. With
reference to the Philippines, he advocated
treating them the same as we have prom.
ised to treat Cuba.
The Chicago gathering showed that a
large element of the party demanded an
immediate declaration for the free coinage
of silver, and the expulsion from the par.
ty of all organizations and individuals who
do not consider free coinage vital tenet

Sketch of Mrs. Thompson.

Appletons Cyclopedia of Biography con-
tains the following sketch of Mrs. Thomp-
son:
Elizabeth Thompson, philanthropist,
born in Lyndon, Vt, Feb 21, 1921. She
is the daughter of Samuel Rowell, poor
farmer, and at the age of nine went TO aid
in the household duties of a neighbor's
family as a maid of all work, receiving as
wages 25 cents a week. Her education
was chiefly self-acquired, but she was re-
markably handsome, and while on visit
TO Boston in 1S43 so impressed Thomas
Thompson, well-known millionaire of
that city, that he sought her acquaintance.
Early in 1874 they were married, and un-
Til his death in 1869 spent much of their
income for charitable purposes. The use
of the entire income of his immense es-
tate was then left to Mrs. Thompson.
She has given large sums to the cause
of temperance, and Figures of He'll"
tract written by her and filed with much
statistical information, has been widely
circulated. Mrs. Thompson has given
more than 500, 900 toward providing with
business pursuits the heads of families,
hundreds of whom have been able to es-
tablish themselves by her bounty. Among
her many charities is the gift of S10,0 900,
which was expended by a commission
authorized by Congress to investigate yell
| low fever.
She founded the town of Long Mont, at
the foot of the Rocky Mountains, and gave
$40 acres of land, with $500, to each colo
mist in Saline county, Kansas Mrs.
| Thompson contributed largely to the pur-
chase of the Vassar college telescope, and
! gave TO the Concord school of philosophy
| the building in which its summer assem-
blies are held. She suggested the idea of
a song service TO the poor and incurred
large expense in putting it into practical
operation in many of the large cities of the
country. Francis B. Carpenters painting
Of the "Signing of the Emancipation
Proclamation by Lincoln in the Presence
! of His Cabinet" was purchased by her and
presented to Congress. In consequence
of this she was granted the freedom of the
floor of the House, right which no other
woman, not even the Presidents wife,
| possesses.
In 1885 she placed in the hands of a
board of trustees chosen for that purpose
! $25, 900 to be devoted to the advancement
and prosecution of scientific research in
its broadest sense. Mrs. Thompson has
agitated the question of the possibility Of
an international republic or world, gov
erned by laws emanating from an intelli-
gent community.

Democratic Law which Has Cost Color
ado sa,z6O. 900.

The smelter employees strike in Colora-
do has lessened the worlds wealth at the
rate of 100000 a week since June 15,
when the eight-hOur day law went into
effect At Cripple Creek alone the June
gold output decreased 100000 below the
May record, due to two weeks shut down
of producing mines. The miners were not
involved in the strikes, but the shutting
down of the smelters limited the output.
Throughout Colorado the output shrink
age amounted to 100000. On the sup
position that the strike will end August 1,
as is probable, the loss in output will be
SO, 600, 900. Perhaps $750,000 will cover
the wage loss for the six weeks.
When the eight-hour law went into eff
feet the relations of smelter owners and
employees were mutually satisfactory.
The law was piece of vicious class legis-
lation, furnishing the good name of the
state, crippling the principal industry, and
embarrassing thousands Of laborers. Its
unconstitutionality was doubtless apparent
to Gov. Thomas and other experienced
lawyers, who perpetrated its enactment as
bid for the labor vote.
