CONCERNING OPALS.

Chauncey Depew always wears an
opal. thinking it a sort of lucky stone.
He also admires the gem for its own
sake.
Russell Sage has worn an opal for
years. He once said Re wore the stone
because it was the Back sheep of the
jewel family, and he lad always found
what was bad for the mob was good for
the chosen few.
Few stage people can be induced to
wear an opal or anything else that is
considered unlucky. However, there
are some exceptions Lillian Russell
is fond of opals, and Della Fox likes
them so well she buys them by the
dozen. lsadore Rush is another actress
who is not afraid to wear this gem.
During the past two years more opals
have been sold and worn than for the
previous 25 years. Most of the stones
now come from Australia because the
beautiful Hungarian variety is apt to
crack. 1t improves opals to be put in
an occasional alcohol bath In spite OF
their beauty, opals are not ranked
among the costly gems. for, while oc-
casioually as much as 500 karat has
been paid for them, the price is usually
much less.

The Men who Stay.
Not yet is this war done,
Though victory be won.
Though nations sign for peace,
Though ali the fighting cease,
Where. should our force withdraw,
Riot would trample law.
Long yet
Some men must stay
From camps where fevers roam
Soldiers are coming home;
Soldiers of haegard face;
Soldiers, a stricken race.
Pity for these and love.
What then by heav'n above,
For those,
The men who stay.
Weak feet in freedom led:
Some starving wretches fed;
Some judgment taught OF wrong;
Some government made strong;
Dragging the long. hot way,
Heroes. thrice heroes, they!
Those men.
The men VINO stay!
Not theirs the battle cry:
Theirs not to fight. hut die.
Theirs not the soldiers death;
Theirs the hot fever breath,
Fading to fall away.
Unto their Judgment day,
God help
The men who stay!

TRADE OF THE WEEK.
SITUATION AS VIEWED BY r. q.
DUN & co.
Reason for Advance In Iron-Greatly
Increased Shipments of Boots and
Shoes from the East-A Desperate
Omaha Lover Attempts Suicide.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: while the buying Of 100000
tons Of Bessemer pig at Pittsburg gave
reason for the advance in price to $16.5O,
with gray forge quoted at $50 per ton, it
is not quite as clear as it might be that the
output, which was 255,000 tons weekly,
according to the Pittsburg record, and has
since been largely increased by the addi-
ton of many furnaces, will continue 10
fall below the demand. For the require
ment in various departments for manu-
featured products, it must be recognized,
is scarcely measurable, and does not seem
rs much diminished as might be expected
by higher prices and long delay in deliv-
cry. The shipments of boots and shoes
from the East have been, for two weeks
of May, % per cent larger than last year
and 800 per cent larger than in 1892.
Leather shows hesitation. Spectators
are doing large business in wool, some
foreign and some American. The orders
for wooden goods are decidedly better. Cot
ton declined q Small fraction, owing to
freer port movement; but there was re-
covery of all the decline in middling up
lands and net gain in option prices.

Baron De Staal, the Russian ambassc-

he said that his first duty was to express

his Majesty would be deeply touched as
well as by the spontaneity with which the

RACE WITH FIRE AT SEA.
The Barbarossa Forced to Put About
and Run Into New York Harbor.

The series of accidents resulting from
the discovery of fire in the hold Of the
North German Lloyd steamer Barbarossa
after she had left port was perhaps the
most remarkable that ever occurred in
New York harbor. Her pilot was unable
to control her properly and her bow struck
an Eric float that was passing in tow of
tug, punching hole in it. This sent the
Barbarossa still farther in toward shore,
and after narrowly missing a crowded
ferryboat she crashed bow-on into La
Bretagne, which was lying at pier IL.
The impact broke La Bretagne from
her moorings, and she shot forward and
crashed into the ice boats Richard j. Fos-
ter and lie Roy, which were lying side
by side in front of her. They were cut In
two as by knife, and in less than a min
ute were at the bottom of the river. Their
crews escaped by taking to the water or
jumping to another ice boat near by.
Had the Barbarossa struck lie Bretagne
at right angles the latter would have been
cut in two. AS it was, she began to sink
at once, but the use of tarpauins and
steady pumping kept her up, and all night
the stevedores worked to unload her
cargo.

Watson Is that she was alone in class
room on the fourth floor when she heard
two men, strangers, planning to burn the
building. She stepped into a hallway,
when they, realizing they had been over
heard, knocked her down, bound and gag

Special dispatches from Washington In
dictate that there are differences between
the Cubans and Americans of nature SO
tense that only the greatest tact and abil-
ity, coupled with a compromising dispo-
sition on both sides, will be able to solve
them without results of a grave nature.
This seems to be the opinion at the War
Department, although officials refuse to
discuss the situation publicly. There Is
less criticism Of Gen. Gomez than there
was. 1t Is believed that the old general
Is still pro-American, but that the opposi-
ton Of the other Cuban generals has dis
couraged him.
Although the course of Gen. Brooke is
not approved in all its details by his SUI
periors, there is no disposition to criticise
him for demanding that the Cubans give
up their arms. This measure is approved
as necessary one, and IL all differences
of opinion are to be traceable to this order

seamen to be expert gunners. The Am

PEACE TALK BEGUN.
CZAR's. GREAT CONFERENCE
CALLED TO ORDER.
Dutch Minister Welcomes the Envoys
to The Hague-B Baron De staal IL
Chosen to Preside over the Congress
Sessions Are Secret.

The ASSEMBLING at The Hague of repre-
sentatives OF all the civilized nations 10
consider propositions designed TO prevent
war Is one of the important events of the
closing years of the nineteenth century.
Despite skepticism as TO Immediate results
and despite imputations Of insincerty on
the part of the Gar and many of those
who take part In the conference, it seems
a harbinger OF the decline Of militarism.
AS the conference opened it was accepted
as settled tina: little would be done in
direct furtherance Of the main object, as
stated in the call Of the Czar--disarma.
ment. But as result of the conference
a mighty impetus is likely to be given to
the cause of international arbitration,
which, in the end, will lead at leaot to par
tial disarmament and to the lessening of
the burdens of miltarism. The discus
sions in the conference, as indicated at the
opening, cover three principal lines. The
first relates to restrictions of ornaments
and military expenditures-th least hope
full topic of the three, so far as anticipa-
tons Of immediate results are concerned.
The second deals with the laws governing
civilized warfare, and the third with med
iation and arbitration. In both these lines
some specific results should come from
the conference. The proceedings will be
watched with interest by the entire civ
ilized world.
With a brief formal session Thursday
afternoon the international disarmament
conference, summoned by Russia's ruler,
began it's deliberations. Representatives
of all the foremost governments in the
world were gathered in the Huis Ten
Bosch when Mr.. De Beaufort, Minister of
Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, called
the gathering to order. Mr.. De Beaufort
spoke of the high honor of the choice of
The Hague as the meeting place for the
conference and extolled the noble initia-

proved, the policy being to placate rather
than irritate, and Gen. Brooke, more than
likely, will be advised to keep this policy
firmly in mind.
A conflict with the Cubans is not desir-
ed, and will be avoided, if possible. 1t is
said that President Mckinley has been
informed of the situation by Gen. Alger,
and that the President himself will take
a hand in unravelng the knotted skeins.
The Cubans must be treated with great
patience. They lack stability of purpose
and other sterling characteristics. Recog-
milton OF this fact is deemed requisite in
handling the questions that have arisen.
Washington advices say that the Govern
ment is prepared to establish it's author
ity in Cuba at all hazards, although anx-
ious to avoid conflict. Such conflict, it is
generally conceded, would postpone indei-
nitely the independence of the island.
Secretary Alger cabled Gen. Brooke
asking him for statement as to the re,
ported troubles in Cuba. or the charges
against Gen. Brooke made by the Gu.
bans, the Secretary said not one Of these
had yet been made, and added: People
who are put under a necessary restraint
are apt to complain of undue restraint
The Cubans say they are willing to give
up their arms TO Cuban officials, but under
no circumstances will they yield them to
the Americans. They point to the fact
that every move by the Americans tends
to Americanize the island. Americans are
favored for government positions: Ameri-
can signs go over the new offices, and the
American grip is tightening on everything.
Cubans feel that they are being brow
beaten and forced into the background.
They are ready to fight again for indepen-
dence if it is necessary. War, they say,
Is not desired, but unless an honorable
proposition is made promptly it cannot be

MOTHER AND SON DIE.
Mystery in Burning of an Ohio House
Fired to Conceal Crime.

Fired to Conceal Crime.
The charred remains of Mrs. Rachel
Austin anu her son William were recov-
cred from the ruins of their burned home
in Zane township, Ohio, and the youngest
son, Ernest, aged "a years, has bullet
hole in his breast. The family of Wesley
Haines, farmer, was aroused by some
one knocking at the door. Mr.. Haines an
swered the call and found Ernest Austin,
faint from a bullet wound in his breast.
He said that about an hour before he had
been called to the door by robber and
shot in the chest. Austin continued in
broken sentences to say that the home was
in flames and his mother and brother were
no doubt dead. With this Austin swoon-
cd away and was carried into the house.
Mr.. Haines then went to the Austin home
stead, about half mile distant, and there
found the burning timbers and debris of
the once comfortable home. The neigh
borhood was aroused and in the ruins
were found the charred bodies of Mrs.
Rachel Austin and her son William.
