SOME ROYAL TALISMANS.

Even the mightiest rulers of the
tfons says the Chicago Chronicle. In
deed, they are, as a rule. as firm in
their belief in the efficacy of charms as
are the humblest of their subjects. The
L car of Russia constantly carries about
with him a ring, without which nothing
would induce him to move a step from
his palace. He believes it to contain a
| tiny piece of the cross on which the
|. Savior was crucified.
4 The ring Is supposed to be endowed
| with some occult power of shielding it's
wearer from personal danger; hence
tfet cars anxiety to always have it
with him. Belief in it's magic influence
was immensely strengthened by the fact
of the present emperors grandfather
being without the ring at the moment
of his assassination.
! The shah Of Persia always wears a
belt set with a superb emerald, to
which he ascribes the same virtue as
the car attributes to his sacred ring
The belt is filled with onion Feelings,
the object of which is said to DE to
move any would-be assassin to tears.
The late shah was never seen in public
without this protecting belt and gem
when on his travels. He thoroughly be-
lieved that If he left off the emerald
disaster would overtake him, and bv a
strange coincidence it actually did 1t
will he remembered that this Persian
monarch was foully assassinated not
many years ago. and it was a singular
fact that he was not wearing the gem
at the time.
King George of Greece possesses a
talisman which is also a grim reminder
of an attempt on his life just at the
conclusion of the war with Turkey he
was. waylaid and shot at several times.
one of the bullets embedding itself in
the box OF his carriage. His majesty's
escape was so miraculous that he had
this bullet extracted and made into
charm for his watch chain. He would
not part with 1T, firmly believing that
as it mercifully missed him when d.
rected at him, it was designed to insure
him Immunity from assassination.

THE SCIENTIFIC MAN.
he Is Different Sort of an Individual
Now to What He Once Was.
Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
In a serious magazine article :
writer rails at the scientists for as
siduously increasing the burden o1
knowledge, which is already greater
than a human mind can master. II
should be considered that the super
lative aim of science is not merely to
gather, but also to group or classify
facts and to form generalizations.
When science establishes general
principle it becomes possible to know
a multitude of facts as easily as to
know one fact.
There is no doubt, however, that
the burden of scientific knowledge,
the product of less than century ol
work, is enormous. Half a century
ago q man of science (the word scien-
tist had still to be invented to annoy
purists) might be cadaverous chem
ist, an absent minded bug-chaser, or
an inventor of mechanical appliances,
but the variety was limited. Now
the branches or departments oi
science are almost countless, and it
is impossible that any man (even
Herbert Spencer, the philosopher oil
silence) should be able to do more
than keep up with the progress of his
special department and have very
superficial acquaintance with the
achievements of most other depart
mcnts.
The unscientific visitor to a general
meeting of the Academy of Sciences
would have about as cheerful time
as he would have at Bulgarian de-
bate. The lingo of Science, like the
slang of the slums, is so unfamiliar
as to constitute a distinct language.
The Elliott Indian Bible is not less
readable to most persons than is a
paper on morphological progress.
The average man of affairs has no
idea of the enormous number OF
things that are known to scientists.
He would not be able to see the
utility of much of the knowledge; he
could not be made to understand the
importance % knowing the manner
of development of the structure of a
minute section OF the eye or ear.
though he would bare his head before
the patient labor of the biologists and
the fearful accuracy of their knowl'
edge. Mans capacity for knowing
can never be understood by any ybody J
who has not worked long and serious.
ly in a laboratory. Perhaps the most
impressive thing about meeting o.
scientists is the quality of accuracy
displayed by some men in a worlt
where guess work and rule of thumb
and arrogant ignorance are so com
mon and so obtrusive.

that the Blues have surpassed in ap-

here since the Exposition opened.
This superb military organization was

longed to the "Stonewall" Jackson
Brigade. 1t played Dixie" and the
Star Spangled Banner" with equal
feeling and precision and the crowd

the Hon. William 1. Buchanan, who is
tacale princeps by this time at that
sort of thing. He averages three a

ing glib tongue, good vocabulary,
a pleasing manner and great deal
of experience, the Director-General Of
the PanAmerican Exposition ought
never TO be out of job of this sort.
He owned up very willingly to being
of Virginia descent himself
The first speech was made by the
Governor of Virginia, Hon. J. Hoge
Tyler. His effort was worthy of the
Chief Executive of the Mother Of
States aud Presidents. He was fol-
lowed by MIR. Joseph Bryan, of the
Richmond Times, whose speech
bristled with statistics as to the re-
sources of his State. Mr.. Bran is a
forcible speaker. The final speech
was made by DR.. George Miles, the
scholarly president and founder of
the school of St. Albans, Radford Va.
After the exercises an elegant lun-
cheon was served in the New York
State Building.
Tonight the Governor, his party
and the Blues will be entertained in
the elegant Ohio Building by Senator
Patterson, Special Commissioner from
that State. Senator Patterson is
grandson Of the late Hon. Robert
Lucas, a native of Jefferson county,
Virginia, who was first Governor of
Ohio and afterwards Governor of
Iowa. The father of Governor Lucas
commanded a Virginia regiment in
the Revolutionary War.

services to aid the fund for the relic,

The horses hoe which he made on
the stage at the Steel Pier recently
was auctioned off jor $65.
When Fitzsimmons mounted the
rostrum there was little in his ap-
pearance to indicate the pugiIist. He
wore well-itting dress suit, admir-
ably filled out by his mighty shoulders
and brawny frame. and when he ad-
dressed himself to his subject, The
Youth of America" he spoke with
the sincerity and assurance of the
earnest and experienced lecturer.
The address showed Fitzsimmons
as moralist. 1t was directed main
ly to pointing out to young men that
high standard of living should be
followed not only for moral reasons,
but because it brings its own reward
in greater mental and physical power
to fight the world and wrest from it
the greatest measure of success.

ing" he said, "but feel like taking
him aside and telling him that he is
wasting his strength, squandering his
brain power, and storing up for him.

suffering.
at is not question of morals. 1t
is question Of self-interest. Life is
like sparring match. A man needs
to be in the finest possible condition
to have any chance of victory.
ITO this end he should study his
body and give it the exercise best cal
culated to develop it. He should
study his mental faculties, learn
wherein rest their greatest possibili-
ties and then concentrate all his brain
power to developing them to their
fullest possibilities.
At the end of his lecture Mr.. Fitz-
simmons DOTTED part Of his evening
suit, rolled up his sleeves, barring his
mighty arms, donned leather apron
and made ready to show his deftness
at his old trade of blacksmith.
A portable anvil and furnace were
placed on the stage, the iron was
heated, the strokes rang out on the
anvil, shower Of sparks flew around
the giant Australian, and the horse
shoe, heavy racing plate, was COM
plete.
After the applause had subsided,
George w. Monroe, the well known
comedian, turned the performsnc ce
into an auction, and with a running
fire of humorous comments sold the
shoe to the highest bidder.

brought shows that the pugilist un-

GOOD NIGHT.
BY AGNES HELEN LoCKHARv

Good night! The crimson-scented rose
Drops low her pretty head,
And the little grasses long ago
Their evening prayers have said.
Nights starry eyes are blinking
AT the mOonbeams' silvery light,
While the lilly hides her golden heart
And whispers softly. Good night"
The wind is idly rocking
The sOng-bird in its nest,
And silence deep is brooding
Der the sleeping world at rest,
A sweet good night to you, dear heart!
A morn with radiance bright;
And be it night or be it day,
God keep you, love-good night!

Murphy s Co.'s Stock Letter.

New York. September 10,-The stock market opened active, generally higher, although the trading showed rather ir> regular tendency. The dealings were again dominated by the same matters which absorbed attention yesterday, The maintained improvement In the condition of the President was the subject of gen. eral discussion and was the most effec- tive factor in steadiness shown by prices. London showed a much higher range of prices. Rather more attention appeared to be devoted to the monetary situation than was the case yesterday, and this appeared to be owing to dispatch sent yesterday by the chairman of the clearing house commission to the secretary of the treas ury. suggesting that he advise some means of relieving the situation produced by the excessive receipts of the treas ury. No decisive change was apparent 'n the steel strike situation Active feat ures at the opening were St. Paul and Atchison, both of which stocks moved counter to the general defect of prices opening lower than last nights figures. Other notably active features were tho Fries and Reading issues. Southern Pa
 cif1e. Mexican National and Union Paclf- ic. The dealings In the industrial quar- ter were largely confined to the United States Steel issues, which were strong. Among the specialtIes. Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad was particularly firm. and Amalgamated Copper was largely dealt in around yesterdays level.

 Birmingham, September 10. Cables from Liverpool today reported depress- ed condition of that market as a re- suit of increasing shipments of cotton to Great Britain and intimated that specu- iation Is too light to sustain prices when hedging sales get to be the order of business. Deliveries closed about 3-64d lower and spots were quoted easier at a decline of Md, Speculations was very limited here. The developments in Liv- erpool occassioned a lower range of prices and the main support was derived from shorts to cover. The weekly crop report showed no Improvement in tho condition of the crop Complaints of rust and shedding continue quite numerous and picking Is becoming general. (This report, however had little effect, as ats tention was directed principally to the spot department where q material east ness prevailed owing to freer interior offerings and a limited demand even at reduced prices. Closing quotations for contracts are two to three points lower than yesterday. Much disappointment Is apparent over the failure of the expected liberal spot demand for September de- livery to have put in an appearance as yet and considering that the country Is inclined to offer cotton In more liberal way this disappointment seems to be orystilizing into a tendency towards weakness. Receipts are moderate but re- ports from railroad officials in Texas Is that the condition of the crop in that state is not as bad as indicated and with weather prevailing in the eastern belt now 1t Is probable that better accounts will soon be forthcoming from that sec ton. The prevailing level of prices, how ever, causes traders, especially those of bearish ideas to pause for the time be- ing.
