Persian Tales in the Century Maya
zine: Once upon n time a king in his
sleep dreamed that all Of his teeth fell
out before him, one by one.
He summoned a soothsayer, and
asked him to interpret the dream.
The s~oothsayer said: 20 king, the
meaning Of thy dream is that thy fam
lily and relatives shal die in thy pres
enCe, one by one till all are gone
The king was very angry at that, and
sent the soothsayer at once to prison.
Then he sent for another s~oothsayer,
and again asked for an Interpretation
of the dream.
The soothsayer made answer: 90
king, the Interpretation of thy dream is
that thy family and relatives shall die,
one by one, and thou myself shalt out
live them ALL"
With this answer the king showed
approval, and commanded that a pres
ent be given to the interpreter, and
hat he should be sent home with
honor.

ONE MILLION FOR A PAINTING.
The Fabulous Price Said to Have Been
offered for a Work of Titan.

me FABULOUS Price Said to Have Been
offered for a Work OF Titan.
Boston Transcript: The preposterous
report that some one had offered $780,
600, or $1,000, 900 for Titan's celebrated
painting of Sacred and Profane Love-"
In the Borghese collection at Rome, Is
due In all probability to the universal
hunger for astonishing people, although
1t have may have some color of possi-
tility to the Imagination of kindergar=
ten nnanciers. Insensate prices have
been paid for Raphaels, that in the
National Gallery especially, which
came from the Marlborough collection;
elso for the works OF other old masters,
but never any such incredible price as
this. Yet it would be n hard matter to
set the exact limit of value in the case
of a sale OF Titan, more particularly
such an example as the a~bsurdly mis-
named Sacred and Profane Love-" If
there exists in the world a picture
worth 81, 900, 900, who would be bold
enough to deny the right Of Titan, the
%potentate Of painters, to be the author
Of that work? AS to the picture known
by the title of Sacred and Profane
Love"-a title which Titan did not
give 1t, and which has needlessly puz-
zled many commentators-it Is now
generally considered simply as a fanci-
full or romantic composition.
But Franz Wickoff, a German critic,
has evolved n theory, which has a good
deal to recommend 1t, that this picture
represents IN incident in the seventh
book Of the "Argonautica" of Valerius
Flaccus, the Latin poet, where II is re-
lated that Medea. the enchantress,
daughter of Aectes, king Of Colchis,
unwilling to yield to her love for the
Greek Jason. is visited by Venus, who
pleads for the lover and e~ndeavors to
persuade Mcdea to follow her into the
wood where Jason is waiting. Titan
has represented this scene as taking
place in the open air; the dawn Is just
breaking and rosy streaks appear on
the horizon. a young woman richly
dressed is seated on one side Of a
fountain, on the edge of which she has
placed a costly casket. Her right hand
is in her lap and holds a bunch Of
magic herbs. Deeply moved. she gazes
fXedly before her. lending ear the while
to the persuasive voice OF another
woman seated near. The form OF this
woman, around whom there nutters a
red mantle, is OF a marvellous beauty.
She rests her right hand upon the foun-
tain edge and with her left holds on
high n vase from which issues a light
smoke. Between the two women the
god Of love is splashing In the warer
with his chubby little hands.
Mr.. Wickoff maintains hat in the
beautiful nude picture Venus is easily
recognizable, even were her son not
there to indicate her presence. The
m to whom she spoke, and who,
though unwilling to yield blindly, still
feels herself drawn by an irresistible
power, is Medea, who betrayed the
king, her father, n followed Jason.
The stranger and enemy of her people.

C0FFEE-SUGAR WAR OVER.
uavemeyers and Arbuckles Have Decid,
IN Omit Fighting.

uayemeyers and Arbuckles Have Decided
TO Quit Fighting.
Chicago, Jan. 5.-The Tribune prints
the following story this morning:
Private adviCes have reached Chi
cago that the war between the great
sugar and coffee truSts-a battle which
has been stubbornly fought for more
han three years between Henry q.
Havemeyer on the one side and John
Arbuckle on the other, and which has
cost these trade rivals approximately
S25, 900, 900, is to be brought to a close.
Negotiations have been closed In New
York and Chicago whereby the Ar
buckles will nominally give up sugar
refining and become dictators in the
coffee trade. Henry O. Havemeyer and
the sugar trust will practically give up
their coffee roasting plants, with which
an effort was made to crush out John
7, Arbuckle, and handle only sugar.
Each, however, will continue In the
business of his rival in a small way,
compared TO their holdings of the last
three years. To this end the big coffee
roasting establishment of w. +. Nc
Laughlin & Co., of this city, the n i'm
portant Independent house in the coffee
world, is to pass into the control of the
Arbuckles through the hands Of the
Havemeyers. Plans for this transfer
hav been most secretly carried on,
but those on the inside" declare that
the negotiations were fully completed
last Monday morning. The money for
the purchase is now in Chicago banks
and the transfer papers have been
drafted.
, The Arbuckles are also to get the
Woolson Spice company, with it's mills
at Toledo. This company has been the
coffee branch Of the American Sugar
Refining company. In exchange the
Arbuckle brothers sugar refinery passes
20 the Havemeyers. The National Sugar
Refining company is held to be now
practically controlled by the American
Sugar Refining company, and therefore
with the acquisition of the Arbuckle
plant the trust will have stamped out
all competitors.

SPRINGER ATTACKS

in Behalf of the Live Stock
Interests.

'eeiares It Is an Attempt to Build Up
One Industry at tho Expense OF An.

Colleagues.
MEASURE CLASS LEGISLATION

Washington, Jan. 5.-The senate
committee on agriculture has resumed
ITS hearing or the oleomargarine bill.
hon. w. NJ. Springer, representing the
National Live Stock association, was
ne first person TO be heard. He spoke
In opposition to the bill. He said the
association which he appeared for rep
resented a combined capital of $780,
100000. He read a memorial from the
association in opposition to the o.eo-
margarine bill as an effort to build up
one interest at the expense of another.
He quoted figures to show that where
as the mich CoWs of the country were
valued at S5l4, 600, coo, other cattle foot
up an aggregate of $3.50, 600, 900 in value.
he said the opinion of stock raisers
was unanimous that the passage of the
pending bill would mean the destruc-
ton OF the oleomargarine industry
and he argued there was little effort
on the part OF the promoters of the bill
TO conceal this purpose.
Two gentlemen present, named re-
spectively Adams and knight, inter
rupted Judge Springer while he a
quoting from reports to the
entirely misrepresented by those
reports. knight said a letter
had been printed in the Congressional
Record which the house reported to
have been written by him which was
an absolute falsehood.
Springer was also interrupted by
Governor Hoard OF Wisconsin, who re-
iterated his charge of attempted brib-
cry of merchants by the oleomargarine
manufacturers
Continuing, Springer charged the
friends of the bill with interfering in
politics m he quoted a letter from
Secretary knight of the National
Dairy union, with headquarters at
Chicago, directed to a constituent of
Congressman Wadsworth, saying his
reelection, unless by a greatly re-
duced majority, would be a triumph
of the stock yards and oleomargarine
frauds
knight, who was present, said Wads-
worth's majority had been reduced
1000.

DABELE0 IN AMERICAN MINES.
uow 5000, 900 OF the London and Globe
Corporations Funds Were sunk.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The London and
Globe Finance corporation, which has
just failed, is interested in American and
Canadian mining properties that cost 1t
about 100000. The smelter at North
port, Wash, which was secured about
two years ago by Whitaker Wright for
his syndicate, is the largest in the north
west outside of Butte and Anaconda,
Mont. Just across the line, at Rossland,
IN British Columbia, the London and
Globe company is interested in a half
dozen mines, including the lie Roi, lie Roi
No. 2, the Rossland, Great Western, the
Nickel Plate and the Columbia kootenay.
The most important of these, lie Roi, was
purchased from a group of Americans,
headed by Senator George Turner OF
Washington. The other properties at Ross
land are considered of speculative value.
Whitaker Wright's operations at Ross
land have been conducted through the
Britiish-American corporation, valued at
81, $685. GO, which was an offshoot of the
London and Globe. The latter concern
retained a large block Of stock in It's sub
sidiary concern, and sold enough shares
10 recoup it for the cost OF its invest
rlents. The British-American corpora
ton, in turn, tioated subsidiary compa'
7ies on the same basis.
