TOPAZ is MUCH FAVORED.
This Beautiful Gem Is Highly Priced
by FasbiOnRbleS at
Present.

"Not the least beautiful of the many
semi-precious stones for which there
is always large demand is the topaz"
said a wholesale dealer in gems to a
Washington Star writer. "The name
topaz suggests only yellow stone,
yet there are light blue, brown and
green varieties which are frequently
sold as aquamarines. The genuine aqua
Murine may, however, be easily dis
tinguished from topaz, as the former
stone more closely resembles the color
OF green sea salt. Besides, the topaz
admits of higher polish, and is ex.
tremely slippery to the touch. Strange
to say, the yellow topaz when slightly
heated, becomes pink; heated further,
the pink grows paler and by long heat
ing it is entirely expelled, leaving the
green colorless. The sherry colored or
brown topaz is bleached in very short
time by the rays of the sun or strong
daylight, and all the white topazes
found in nature have been colorized
in this way. The topaz is found in gran.
lite rocks in Siberia, Japan, Peru, Cey'
lon, Brazil and Maine and in volcanic
rocks in Colorado, Utah and New Mex
ico."

a medallion on one side with the rep
resentation in the upper part of the

and science. Below these are groups
of cannon and palms, with the motto:
"Palmam qui meruit ferat." The

DIED WHILE DELIRIOUs.
Some Particulars About Lieutenant
Commander Greene's Death.

Some Particulars About Lieutenant
Commander Greene's Death.
Lieutenant Commander F. v. Greene,
of the United States navy, who COM
mitted suicide while in the line of duty
on the u. S. s. Montgomery, at Monte
video, South America, has a brother-in-
law in st. Paul in the person of H. P.
Davis, formerly dining car conductor on
the Great Northern railway. who lives
at Seven corners. He was informed of
the death of his relative on Friday by
a telegram from his sister, Mrs. Greene,
from Vincennes, Ind. Speaking of the Pc
culiar circumstances surrounding the
death of the naval officer he said last
night:
There was no one more surprised than
myself on learning of Lieutenant Com
mander Greene's act. I have been I'M
able to account for it until today, when
O. letter from home bears out the theory
which had already suggested itself to
my sister, that he had sought death
while in the clutches Of a delirium from
yellow fever.
my brother-in-law was always a man
of robust health, cheerful, good humored
and a living example Of a happy man.
His career in the navy was sufficiently
brilliant to cause his friends and rela-
tives qualification, he was happily mar
ried and apparently had nothing in the
world to cause him to wish for an end of
life He entered the navy in 1867 at the
age of fourteen as. a m1dsh1pman. -Four
years later he graduated, and in '72 was
appointed an ensign. After extended
cruises and varied service he was made
a lieutenant in 1882 and last year was
commissioned lieutenant commander.
He saw service at a number Of West. In
dian ports during the last war, and was
actively engaged in the naval operations
in Puerto Rico.
Mrs; Greene has been seriously con-
cerned for some weeks over reports
which have come from the Montgomery
to the, effect that yellow fever had brok-
en- out on board. When l was home
on a visit only three weeks ago her hus-
band wrote saying, with every indication
of extreme pleasure, that his vessel had
been ordered north and that SchIey' 8
squadron would return to the United
States He spoke enthusiastically of
seeing her again. and the letter was much
like himself in it's openhearted cheeriness
and enthusiasm.
1--WE heard nothing more until the sec
rotary of war wired his wife of his death,
Indicating that further information would
be forwarded as soon as received by the
department His death was a fearful
shock to Mrs Greene, as she expected
to see him within a few weeks at most.
The only conclusions which we have
been able to reach, further information
being lacking, Is that the yellow fever
attacked him, and that in a delirium he
took his own life. The case is a sad one,
and in his death the navy loses an excel
lent officer"

headwaters Of the Mississippi river and
for the benefit of the Indians"
Gen. Andrews explained, in reply to a
question by Col. Clough, that new
agreement with the Indians would be
necessary, that the principal of the
purchase price would be paid to them
after fifty years and that the interest
thereon, would be paid in the meantime.
The aborigines would not be removed,
as they would rather be an adornment to
the rscenery.@D 10 09sn sed
A. H. Lindeke asked If it was intended
to have settlers on the park.
Gen. Andrews replied chat the govern
ment would allow people to lease land
SO as to get revenue.
Gen. Sanborn had grave doubts about
whether 1t would be advisable to with
draw so much land-909 square miles
from agricultural development. There
would be room there for hundreds OF
thousands of people. Still he did not
know enough Of the situation to care to
vote on the resolution
On the resolutions, Ross Clarke and
Thomas Cochran voted aye, Col. Clough
voted no, and the rest sat quiet.
Gen. Sanborn brought in resolution
declaring that all subsidies on ocean
transportation should be based on the
amount of freight actually carried and
not on the tonnage of vessels. This was
referred to the committee on commerce.
A. K Pruden called attention to the ef-
fort of Minneapolis to get a subtreasury
and suggested that st. Paul should get
it, If one was located in this section. The
suggestion was referred to the banking
committee.
The proposed department Of commerce
and industry, with its head member OF
the cabinet, was discussed.
A. H. Lindeke reported in favor Of the
approval of the bill, with an amendment
so fixing It that consuls should continue
to be responsible to the state department.
but make reports on commercial affairs
semi-annually or every three years to the
department of commerce. The reason for
this amendment was that diplomatic en-
tanglements might result from the con-
suls' proceedings.
Gen. Sanborn did not favor taking the
collection of duties and internal revenues
from the treasury department
The bill was sent back to the mercantile
committee.

State Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton ]. H. Lewis yesterday seonlffeted his
list of places and dates. for sholdip 6, sum-
ner schools and Institutes during, the
summer The annual appropriation of
$4,000 for, this purpose~ahas been made
to cover as much ground as possible
Summer schools viii be held in forty

airy schools. . .. =
In many instances Several counties have
joined; so 1t is possible that every sec
ton of the state has one or more Of
these schools. The policy pursued by Mr..
Lewis in making up the list has been to
give those counties having institutes last
year summer schools this year, and vice
versa.
The university summer school will be
allowed $4,000, which will include all ex-
penses. Prof. Kiehle has about twenty
five teachers In his corps, and the school
is, without exception, well patronized ev-
cry year. = -:
At Big Stone City, s. D., an institute
will be held that will be attended by both
Minnesota and South Dakota teachers.
The latter state furnishes five instructors
and Minnesota chips in and furnishes
two. The Chautauqua society holds its
annual meeting at the same ttme, and
It is estimated that 5000 people will be In
the city at that time
Special attention has been paid to clas-
sifying subjects taught by different teacn-
ers, In the past 1t has not tnfrequently
happened that several teachers In one
school or institute were special teachers
of one or two of the same subjects. Mr..

TRAVELLING LIBRARY PLANS.
Commission Makes Its First Requi-
sition on the State Treasury.

The Minnesota Travelling Library COM
mission has made Its first requisition on
the state auditor for funds with which
to carry on It's work. The commission
was created by the last legislature, con-
sisting of Miss Margaret ]. Evans, of
Northfeld, chairman; Gratia A. Coun-
tryman, of Minneapolis, and President
Northrop, Warren Upham and State
Supt. Lewis. 1t was given an appropria-
ton of $1,000 for each of the two sue
ceeding years.
To date about $1,000 has been expended
by the commission for travelling library
cases and books. 1t is the intention of
the commission to establish fifty libraries
for distribution over the state. All that
is necessary to secure one is for a num-
Der of citizens Of town to band together,
go on bond for the safe return of the
books, and designate some one to have
charge of the issuance Of books. The
books can be retained for period not to
exceed six months. when another set can
be obtained Every library will be
packed in a case that can be used as
book case when the library Is set up.
