Washington. June 21.-The Russian

ference Of about half an hour with
Secretary Hay during which The tariff
issues which have arisen were dis
cussed quite fully. The conference
did not, however, lead to any new de.
velopment in the matter. 1t is under.
stood, however, that the exchanges
brought about renewed assurance
from the ambassador that Russia
action was entirely devoid of political
Importance and was in no way con-

Europe antagonistic to American prod

The Italian charge d'affaires, M. Ca

Hay, during which tariff matters were
informally discussed. In connection
with the duty now levied on italian
sugar. the Italian authorities state
that their officials assure them that
no italian sugar was brought into the
United States last year.

A STRANGE CASE.
fG jII ITf
The Story OF an Infatuat1on
For a Figure In Tapestry.

My uncle, the celebrated English
alienist, DR.. Grffiths, was sitting quiet
ly in my study reading from a volume
of Gautier's short stories, when he sud
denly jumped from his chair and began
pacing the room.
Wonderful wonderful" he kept re.
peating to himself. ''There is no case
like it on record Then he would re
fer to the book again and repeat
Wonderful, wonderful. that / should
stumble upon the explanation here. II
is the same, exactly the same, hallu-
cination.. And the suggestion that
had given up hope of finding is here
too. Extraordinary!''
Unconscious of my presence, my
uncle went on in this strain for perhaps
five minutes, and then, noticing that
was staring at him in bewilderment, he
smiled with that air of satisfaction that
is seldom seen. except upon the face OF
the student or investigator who has
finally solved some scientific riddle.
Hugh, my boy" he said, II have
stumbled upon a complete explanation
of the most mystifyfng case Of hRllu-
cination that has ever come under my
notice. Explanations often come to us
too late, but rarely in such a strange
way" =.
Completely mystified, took the book
from my uncle's hands and discovered
that he had been reading "Omphale,"
Gautier's weird story of young man
who became enamored of a figure in a
piece Of tapestry that hung on the wall
of an old chateau owned by the Chew
alier de d. in the dismal Rue de
Tournelles. had not had time to re-
fresh my memory Of the tale when
my uncle almost snatched the book
from my hands and began reading
again to reassure himself Of the cor
rectness of the conclusion he had APP
parently formed.
Hercules spinning at the feet Of Om-
phale," he began aloud. "The very
same tapestry. Hercules holding a

Naturally my mystifca ton and won

the liveliest curiosity. 1T is plain as

The story always struck me as being 8

hallucination, the nature of which was
discovered by his family when they In
stituted close watch upon him to dis

strange behavior and demeanor. To be
brief, he had fallen in love with that
piece Of tapestry Identical with that
described in this tale of Gautier's. And
not only this, but he imagined that his
alteration was reciprocated to some ex-
tent by the woven figure, with whom
he would tenderly converse when he
did not know be was being watched.
"Mr. Wiltse Informed me that he had
purchased the tapestry several years
before, having been attracted by the
absurd treatment the subject had re-
ceived at the hands Of the artist In

grotesque to our vision. but 1t was not
without merit and, gazing steadily at it
for any length Of time. had a strange
effect even upon SO prosaic person as
myself. Ihave fancied more than once

1t would seem that firstborn children

sion that was much more difficult to
deal with than melancholia. We then
tried hanging the tapestry In much
used room, where some member Of the
family was likely to be at all times.
There young Wiltse would sit before it
IN silence, with an imploring express
sion on his face. Finally he became SO
callous In regard to his strange infat-
uation that he took small pains to con-
ceal it. Uncomplfmentary remarks
about Omphah would send him into
uncomfortable fits of passion that bare

more difficult to understand how the
patient had in the first instance come
under Omphale's spell, since he did not
have any outside suggestion.

of Gautter's and come to imagine him

BOY PREVENTS PENNSYLVANIA
TRAINS DESTRUCTION.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 21.-One Of the

floods prevailing in this state was the

wildly waving his cap. gave the warning
to the engineer that saved the train from
going full speed into landslide. Even
after the warning the train ran into a
large rock, knocking off the cowcatcher
of the engine, and Pullman was so
badly damaged that it had to be taken
out Of the train. None of the passengers
were hurt.
AT Altoona another engine was secured
and the damaged car was taken out of
the train. Some Of the passengers said
at Union station tonight that they
thought the train must have been run
ming nearly at the rate Of fifty miles an
hour when the passengers were suddenly
Jostled in their seats by the application
OF the air brakes. Some were looking
cut of their windows at the time and saw
the boy on wheel waving his cap as the
train flew by him. The engineer had a
clfncuit task to handle his train. The
train was not running fast but it was
neavy and the rails slipped, which made
checking its speed difficult. J. r. Fran
CHS, former governor of Missouri was
