lola and Renan Disagree.

London Telegraph's Paris Letter.
In response to Invitations to attend a
mediumistic seance at which the spirit Of
lola was to be evoked, an audience of one
person was shown into a small room lighted
by one candle. An old gentleman with
long white beard falling down over black
smock-frock babe the medium, a young
woman, Begin 1t then turned out that
Zoa's shade was to be called up by the
time honored method Of table-turning. The
medium placed her hands on a small wood
en- table, which, after some time, began to
get lively. The presence was that of lola,
said the old gentleman. The ~communica-
ton had not been sooner established be-
cause the spirit of the departed novelist is
unused to making itself known to the ma
terial world through mediums. Questions
out in the usual way by the table The
latter, when Remains name was mentioned,
leaped about wildly. Have lola and Re
nan metz asked the visitor. The table
answered Eyes" theoretically. do they
agree do they get on well together?' was
the next question. The table, in reply went
through various evolutions, which were in
terpreted by the old gentleman as signify
ing that lola and Renan. on the astral
plane, are not at all in intellectual SYM
pathy one with another. After that the
presence Of Zola, according to the medium,
abruptly left the table The old gentle
man murmured thanks, because, as he said,
you must always be polite to the spirits,
and the Seance was at an end.

MAY BE SENTENCED FRIDAY.
John Sinclair to Pay the Penalty Of
His Crime

John Sinclair, the one-legged colored man
who was recently tried and convicted of
the murder Of Daisy Maddox, will probably
be sentenced next Friday. The jury liked
the penalty of death in his case and it only
remains for the court to inform the con-
demned man when he is to pay the extreme
penalty of the law. Rev. John Roberts,
colored, who spends much of his time about
prisons, has called on Sinclair since the
latter was convicted and endeavored to
render him spiritual assistance. The con-
demned man says he has no religious be-
lief further than to believe that his life
to come will not be spent in very pleas

Brother Roberts, as the prisoners IA

a short time when he shot Daisy Maddox.

The First Folio Shakespeare.

From the London Daily News.
Book collectors are eagerly looking for
ward to the forthcoming issue Of the first
folio edition Of Shakespeare, in collotype
facsimile. Relatively few persons are
aware, however, of an interesting circum-
stance relating to the originol folio, lent by
the Duke of Devonshire for the purpose of
being closely copied The volume once be-
longed to the famous Duke of Roxburghe,
at the sale of whose library in 1872 1t re-
allied the then extraordinarily high sum of
e1O0. DR.. Dibdin repeats a singular story
about its purchase some years previously
by the duke. A friend was bidding for him,
and his grace retired to one end of the
sales room, quietly to view the issue of the
contest. The bidding rose rapidly to 20
guineas. A slip Of paper was handed to the
duke, counseling him to continue the con-
test. With a GOODNESS that would have
done credit to Prince Eugene, he wrote on
the same slip of paper, by way of reply:
Lay on, Macduf,
And id be be who first cries, Hold, enough!' -
Such a spirit was irresistible, and bore
down all opposition The duke was, of
course declared the victor, and he marched
off triumphantly with the volume under his
arm The price paid is said to have been
"a guineas, third of the amount for which
the book sold in 1872. Today a really fine
copy is worth f1.SOO.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. Monday, November
1O.-The descendants Of the German colo
nists who were first introduced into Russia
century or more ago as leaven are be-
ginning to return to Germany, where they
are to be employed to help stem the tide
of Rehabilitation in Prussia. Lands are be-
Ing assigned to them near Koenigsberg by
the German colonization committee. The
reflex movement is noted in the provinces
of Kiev, Zhitomer and Volhynia. The for
mer prosperity of the German colonists in
the western and southwestern provinces has
changed for the worse recently owing to
high rentals and even from the refusal of
some landlords to let lands to Germans at
any price. The prosperity, sobriety and or
derllneSS OF the German colOniStS in these
parts and along the Volga never seemed to
inspire their Russian neighbors with emu
lation. The Russian peasant takes things
as he finds them.

WOn1em's
Correct Shoes.

In order that a shoe may wear
we'll it must not only be made of
good material, but it must fit well.
A shoe that fits badly at the toe will
be very apt to wear out quickly at
the toe, and so with the other parts
but when you get a shoe that fits
perfectly everywhere, a shoe that is
sewed perfectly everywhere, shoe
that is made of perfect leather every
where-then you have a shoe that
will give perfect satisfaction and
wear.
We took unusual pains in planning
Our shoes for this season, and are
gratihed to say that our stock is
larger, better and more economically
priced than in any season heretofore.
The following items are worthy of
SDecial attention.

WILD HORSES IN IDAHO.

Teredoes in the Atlantic.
From the Engineering News.

From the Engineering News.
Piles no feet long were recently used in
rebuilding the fender piers for the Thames
river swing bridge at New London, Conn,
built in 1889. North Carolina piles from
fifty to sixty-fve feet long were spliced
with spruce piles thirty-five to forty five
feet long to length of ITO feet. About 400
piles altogether were driven. The deepest
water being about fifty feet, it was figured
that the spruce piles would be well below
bottom and free from the attacks of the te-
redo, and to preserve the pine piles above
the bottom they We're creosoted. The piles
Of the original piers built In 1889 were prac-

of the piles were eaten away until they
were hardly capable of sustaining their
