Perry, Okla, June 1O.-ln furious
tornado which swept over portions of
| Kansas and Oklahoma several persons
| were killed. Information from the
devastated district is meager. Rushing
down from the Kansas state line and
| covering about so miles in width, the
rain, wind and hail swept over the
country to the southern boundary OF
Oklahoma. The rain fell in torrents
from early Friday evening until mid
night The fury of the storm CEN
tered in tornado at about $3.50 p M,
which formed at a point near the
Kansas state line and just on the coun-
ty lines of Kay and Grant, Okla. 1t
took a southeasterly course and was
most disastrous on belt of ten miles
square in eastern Kay county. The
little town of Eddy was struck and of
the 10 or Is buildings in the place all
were leveled to the ground except the
railroad station and elevator. Flying
lumber was scattered for miles. One
unknown man was killed and several
persons injured by flying debris.
Country Laid Waste.
The country in the track of the storm
between this point and Tonkawa.
distance of about eight miles, was laid
waste. Five farmhouses with barns
and outbuildings were blown away, but
the occupants all escaped without in
jury.
At Tonkawa 80 dwellings and bust
ness houses were scattered like SO
much loose lumber. The citizens of
the town had been watching the ad-
vance of the storm and had sought
shelter in caves and cellars. No ia
talities are reported at this point.
At Blackwell, a few miles north OF
Tonkawa, F. H. Crawford, carpenter,
who was working on a house, was
struck by lightning during the storm
and instantly killed.
Wheat Fields Devastated.
Wichita, Kan, June 1O.-A corre-
spondent who has arrived here from
the scene of devasta tion in Kay coun-
ty, Oklahoma, says that the storm of
Friday nj ght ruined the wheat crop
of 400 farms west and northwest of
Blackwell. These farms are all in
one body of territory. The farmers,
who had purchased Irvine and har-
vest machinery, are asking the local
dealers to take them back, and the
dealers have referred the matter to
the factories. The loss of crops will
cause no distress, as the farmers are
in good condition financially, owing
to succession of good crops during
the past five seasons.

Honesty the Best Qualincation.

In common honesty there Is NO compro-
mise. A man who Is partly honest Is
wholly dishonest. It Is the real common
honesty that the world needs. not only in
It's business but In Its social life, Its re-
ligion and its politics-honesty that will
do what IL right and will bravely face ev-
cry duty. The man who has this virtue
need have no fear of success In the world,
for his reward In material gains as well
as In the higher honors Of life Is just as
sure as anything can be In this world.
There never was a time when the man OF
common honesty was SO much In demand,
and there never was a time when COM
mon honesty was so profitable. The trick
ster and the shyster have their day and
their hour, but they are sure to be caught
In the end. But common honesty Is for a
lifetime and for the good name that en-
dures long after life ID over.-Saturday

RED SEA EMERALD MINES.
Known ~ C1eopatra's Mines ana
Worked by the Romans.

Worked by the Romans.
What are known as the emerald mines
Of Cleopatra lie In the mountain range
that extends for a long distance par
allei to the Red sea and q few leagues
west Of the coast, In q latitude rather
south Of Eofu, on the Nile. This, like
some other parts Of the region-such as
the porphyrY quarries Of Jebel Dokhan-
was far better known than it is now and
more thickly peopled about 20 centuries
ago, and only during the last hundred
years, SO far as we know, have isolated
explorers at long intervals found their
way into the treasure house of ancient
Egypt.
When its rulers first used the emerald
for personal adornment is uncertain.
Whether the large, clear green stones
which, according to ancient authorities,
ornamented the Egyptian temples were
really emeralds Is a matter of dispute,
but as this gem, owing to its regular
shape, which is commonly q six sided
prism, with its beautiful tint, stands less
In need Of the lapidary's art than many
others 1t probably formed part of the
regalia Of princes at very early period.
That 1t was known to the Romans Is
certain, and the mines now revisited used
to send their treasures to the gem cut
tiers Of the capital. Ever since then the
stone has been highly esteemed. These
mines of the northern Ethbai seem to
have remained untouched since the de-
cline and fall Of Rome caused them to be
deserted. According to Mr.. MacAllis-
ter, the workings are only small passages,
hardly more than burrows, excavated in
the emerald bearing cyst and sometimes
extending for long distance.
Many scattered ruins may also be seen
dwellings, watchtowers and tombs-
besides those of the fen settlements. In
these, no doubt, the mining population
used to live, and the difference in style
suggests they were occupied for a long
time. Some are mere novels, very rough
ly built; others show a more careful con-
struction, while a third group are well
finished. Mr.. MacAllister also found
three rock cut temples, for the soft stone
lends itself to that kind of architecture.
He thinks that their pillars, though very
primitive in style, indicate Egyptian de-
signs, with traces of Greek influence.
One, indeed, contains a crumbling in
scription in that language.
Broken pottery, sometimes ornament
ed, Is abundant, but there is no evidence
that the neighborhood attracted visitors
for any business purposes. Notwith-
standing this there was in those times q
settled instead of a nomad population,
and travellers once must have been rather
frequent, for in one place many draw
ings of persons, animals and tribal marks
are scratched upon the rocks. Some Of
the figures evidently are much older than
others, but as a whole they recall to
memory the Sinaitic inscriptions which
some 40 years ago were believed to be
memories of the wanderings Of the Isra-
elites.-Geographica Journal

BURYING A CHINAMAN.
Catafalques Left In the Streets of
Picking For Weeks.


Picking For Weeks.
1t is in his funeral services that the
Chinaman INDUCES his propensity for ex-
travagance and oddity to the utmost. A
rich Chinaman in Tien-tsin recently ex-
pended $150,000 ON the funeral of his
mother and laid up for himself immense
stores of credit on the other side of the
Styx. Forty millions of dollars worth
Of paper cash, it is said, is burned ev-
cry year in China at the graves of an
cestors, and an incredible amount of pa
per cash can be bought for a cent. Yet
lavish as the Chinaman is in his expendi-
ture upon the dead, he will often leave a
coffin waiting for a year or for ten
years in an exposed position by the road
side until the necromancers shall tell
him the propitious hour and place to
bury his dead. In some places he buries
the remains, or at least what Is left OF
them after years Of dissolution, in earth
en- pots where thousands can be slowed
away in a very small Enclosure.
The funeral professions in the streets
of the great cities of China are often ex-
ceedingly inconvenient to the passing
traveller. All traffic must make way for
the car of death, and in the narrow
streets of the southern cities n stranger
must crowd himself into the narrowest
possible compass, squeezing into a door
way or obliterating himself as far as
possible against a wall until the mourn
ers have passed through the street.
In Picking, where the streets are wider,
the catafalQue is often built in the mid
die Of the roadway and is left there for
days and weeks, filling up the middle of
the street and obliging every passing
camel and donkey and rattling, creaking
cart to take some other avenue or to
crowd by on the sidewalk under the avn
ings, to the discontinue of foot passen-
gers and the various open air vendors
who do their business on the sidewalk.
The absurdity and Inconvenience of
thus giving the dead the right of way
never seems to strike the average Picking
csc.
This Is all of piece with the national
love of funeral display and heartless
crocodile tears, as they seem, at least to
western eyes. An immense trumpet is
even used sometimes, which is worked
like a garden pump to sob out the 'boo-
hoo" of the afflicted relatives. The more
unearthly and heartrending its sobs the
better they seem to be pleased. For a
great funeral all the beggars and raga-
mullins and impudent small boys in the
vicinity are hired. They are decked out
In tawdry clothes, or perhaps their rags
are not even disguised in any way, but
they are at least given banners to carry
and are hired to wall and sob as IL their
hearts were breaking. The dull, indiffer-
ent, stolid faces of the men and the
foguish, mischievous smiles on the boys
faces belle their walls and give a very
unreal air of hypocritical sorrow TO the

Out of Singles and Doubles.


The international tennis tournament was
brought to it's final stages at Niagara, On
tario Yesterday on the courts of the
Queens Royal Hotel, as the previous
matches had weeded out all the poor play
ers. Yesterdays matches. being of high
quality, brought large crowds from the
neighboring cities and watering resorts.
In the final of the mems singles e. p.
Fischer of New York won in straight sets
from Robt Leroy, the Columbia interschol-
astic champion. Leroy, who Is still very
young, was worried by the Importance OF
the match and his play did not do him
self justice. Fischer, as usual, excelled
in his ground strokes The women's sim
giles brought out an unexpected happening
In the defeat of Miss Juliette Atkinson. the
ex-national champion, by Miss Carrie
Neely Of Chicago Miss Neely won the first
set on it's merits, did Miss Atkinson the
second, but toward the close of the sec
ond set Miss Atkinson sprained her ankle,
and, though she continued playing in the
third Set she could hardly stand on her
disabled foot, and she lost the odd set and
match. Miss Atkinson's injury also caused
her to default In the wOmen's doubles,
where she played with Miss Marion Jones,
and In which they were almost sure Win
ners In the other women's singles Miss
Jones got her revenge on Miss r. Closter-
man for the latter woman's defeat of her
at Cincinnati. The tournament Is expected
to be concluded today with all the finals
and the championship round In mems sim
