Columbus storv Revised.

Isaac Anderson in New York Herald)
When rIs-tO-Dher Columbus had
decided to discover America he
went to King Ferdinand Of Spain
and said: Your majesty, L have
positive Information that there is
a land beyond the sea which flows
with milk and honey, to say nothing
of gold and precious stones. L wish

tax before, and was inclined to b

Il can make an egg stand on end,
replied Columbus, CONFIDENTLY.
Let me see you do it" said the
king.
Column bus took a hard-boiled egg
which the attendants brought him,
and breaking the shell at one end,
readily made it stand upright.
"That is very Ingenious was the
king IS only comment, but rafting
in Brad-street would be more TO the
purpose"
Seeing that there was no use ar
gu-ing with the king, Columbus went
to Queen Isabella and laid his pro-
ject before her.
She listened patiently to what he
had to say and seemed to look favor
ably upon his scheme. She made one
objection, however.
IF YOU discover this wonderful
country" she said 'the king viii get
all the profit. Where do I come in.
You viii get your portrait in the
papers" replied the willy explorer
'.and will go down in history as the
beautiful queen whose generosity
and foresight gave Spain new do-mln-
ions beyond the sea"
All her doubts being set at rest, the
queen sent her maid out to pawn her

TANGLE OF THE PYTH1ANs
Supreme Lodge Takes Prompt Actor
About tho Endowment Rank,


Chicago, July 1.-THE supreme
lodge of the knights of Pythias, now
in session in Chicago investigating the
affairs of the endowment rank of the
order, late last night accepted the res
ignation of John II. Hinsey, eX-presi-
member of the board of control Fol
lowing this the supreme lodge adopted
n resolution which instructed the gu
preme chancellor and board of con-
troll to prosecute civilly and criminally
all persons liable for offenses commit
ted against the endowment rank. This
resolution passed by a unanimous vote,
as did another which instructed the
chancellor commander and board of
control to proceed with n view toward
expulsion against members of the order
in their respective lodges who might
be found guilty of violating their OBJ
legations in the handling of funds.
After adjournment of the night SEES
sion it was said that if criminal pro-
ceedings are instituted-which now
seems to be almost certain-a number
of men who We're formerly connected
with the endowment rank, and whom
the supreme lodge members considered
responsible for the present financial
condition will be involved. Hinsey's
explanations were entirely unsatisfac-
tory.
Chicago, July 12.-Thc knights OF
Pythias supreme lodge yesterday
agreed to increase the rate of assess
ments in the endowment rank to a size
that will pay off the deficit in the re.
serve fund, and adopted resolution
/ declaring that the whole order was be.
hind every certificate issued by the en-
dowment rank, and will see that they
are fully protected and honored.

c'sion of the supreme court, asked the
comptroller of the treasury for an
opinion as to whether the duties upon
imports from Porto Rico, held to he
unconstitutionally collected, could be
refunded. The comptroller decided
they could be returned without an act
OF congress. 1t is reported that the
secretary had hoped for Il different
opinion. and to secure it has adopted
the unusual course of appealing to the
attorney general.

called upon for an opinion MS a safe.

the utmost confidence in the comptrol-
Ter of the treasury, is not willing to ac-
cept the enormous responsibility of re-
funding $2,000,000 without eXhaustine
all resources at his command to forti
fy himself against an attack from con
gress.
