Learned chemists and skilled engravers

Professor Benjamin Pierce, and DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes and Professor AgaSsiz.
Before coming on the stand many Of the
witnesses had spent months in the labora-
tory and closet doing everything that
science and experience could suggest to
fit themselves to give correct opinion.
and the result of their labors was mani

which, bound in large volumes, are lasting
proofs of their diligence and ingenuity.
The evidence Of the defendants experts
seems 70 have detected and demonstrated
a hidden crime and made it as patent as
daylight
Professor Pierce declared the signatures
were not genuine He had observed the
condolences in the signatures ana de-
clared that the phenomenon could only
occur once In the number of times eX-

Professor Horsford, Of Harvard, testi-
fed that upon miscroscopical examination
he found indications Of tracing or paint

mony against which 1t would seem as If
no defense could be interposed.
THEORY FLATLY DENIED.
Yet the complainants counsel was ur-
daunted They fatty denied the theory
that no two signatures will ever cover.
John Quincy Adams found among the
papers in the study of his grandfather
many returned checks, of which ITO were
given to ]. G. Crossman, an experienced
Boston engraver.
I A striking similarity in the formation
of the letters and spacing was shown, aud
several cover better than the signatures
in the Rowland will case.
Professor Agassiz, after microscopic
test, found no marks of tracing, and DIR.
oliver Wandeu Holmes found nothing in
the disputed signatures, when placed I'M
der the microscope, to give indication OF
the use of two inks, or anything to show
they had been traced. William w. Grape
thought the signatures genuine.
One young woman testified to seeing a
woman at Whipples photograph room
going over the signature Of Miss How

Upon the hearing before the circuit
court a decision was made disposing OF
the case on a point of law involving but
a single and preliminary question, and
necessarily leaving all other questions OF
law and all the issues of fact unsettled.
Before the appeal taken from this de-

BUILDING BEAR PIT
At GRANT PARK
NEAR zoo
MILF AND LIZZIE ARE SOON TO
HAVE A NEW AND COMFORT
ABLE HOME.

Grant park is about to be supplied with
a bear pit, something new for the zoo.
The pit will be II feet wide and "a feet
in height with a rockhewn cave and
big tree on which Milt Saul and Lizzie.
the two black bears, can enjoy life as
they never have before since the days Of
their captivity begun.
The new pit is to be dug where the
guinea pigs have formerly been placed,
near the deer pen. The excavation will
go eight feet below the level Of the ground
and will be lined with rock. Above the
pit proper will be a strong iron cage, set
in cement At one end Of the pit cool
cave will be dug with bath at the door,
so that Milt and Lizzie can have ample
bathing facilities.
Milt and Lizzie have not, however. lived
happily together. Lizzie is the older of
the two, and has never seemed to become
reeonciled to Milts presence, for at the
least familiarity she has invariably cuffed
him soundly. 1t is even related that once
upon a time the park attendants had TO
come to Milt's rescue. because Lizzie had
him backed up in a corner and was adj
ministering an old-fashioned thrashing.
1t is hoped, however, that with the addi-
tional room afforded by the bear pit Lizzie
may be induced TO put up with Milt, or,
at least, that sufficient room will be az
forded Milt to give Lizzie a good chase
before she can catch him.
The pit will be completed now very
shortly, and will be a great addition to
the zoo. The bears quarters have been
too confined. but in the new pit they will
not only have more room but an oppOr-
tunity for exercise.

Sam Jones Writes of the
Great Western Grain Crop

= n ORE than week now have
MI been circulating around IN
V Illinois. Missouri. Iowa and
Kansas. Egypt in her seven
years of plenty never had better crops
than these states have this year. IL
looks to me that these states could
feed the world from their abundance
this year, to say nothing of all the
other sections of the United States
with their abundant crops.
I find the farmers very unhappy IN
most sections. The rains have delayed
threshing Of wheat and oats, until In
many places both are badly damaged,
and still 1t rains.
I suppose the farmers of these states
have done more work on Sundays in
the past few weeks than ever before In
the history of this country. I've seen
the binder running, the mowers cutting
the hay, the wagons hauling up the
grain all going on on Sunday just like
It was Monday, or Run day as Bill
Arp puts it. That sight don't remem-
Der to have ever seen in Georgia or any
southern state. Really, we never make
more stuff than we can save during
the week days.
The letters from home distress me.
many other sections of the south is the
most severe in the knowledge Of any
living man. Yet it helps to know that
we can buy corn at old time prices
30 cents a busheL I was offered car
load of splendid white oats in Dan
Vile, Ill, last week at 80 cents de-
iivered on car, and would have taken
the car of oats but did not have time
to get the freight rates to Georgia.
II the freight had been not over 30
cents per hundred I could have had
oats at 40 cents per bushel delivered in
my town. Corn will sell in Iowa, Mis-
souri,, ETC., at Is cents in the towns, and
may 20 to that price in Chicago and st.
Louis. My, my, what a harvest the
railroads will have in moving the
great crops this fall and winter. l I
can't see how they will be able to do 1t,
for 1t seems now like they have all
they can do to move the traffic before
the crops come in. But dear old Geor-
gia has watermelons and peaches, and
we can be thankful for them. AS
George w. Balm says, what is riches
and silver and gold, and all they can
bring to a man, compared to the hap
piness of the little niger with Geor-
eia watermelon on his shoulder. sing
ing, Nearer, my God, to thee, nearer
to thee" I never taste of watermel-
ons except when am home, for fell
low who once sits down to a Georgia

Yes, sir, go to Florida for oranges. to
Georgia for watermelons. to Norfolk

Mr. Barton In turn proceeded TO revise
Mr.. Thomson's plans in some minor par
ticulars and the seal as decided upon was
at last in shape. The reverse side OF the
seal was not cut in 17S2. when the face
was engraved, nor has IL ever been cut
since. II could not conveniently be used
for purposes Of a seal, and therefore II
has been allowed to go unnoticed to the
present day.
The old. worn-out seal now in use In the
state department was that cut In 1885,

THE SHAH AND QUEEN ESTHER.

Humans place, and Esther continued to
reign earth's fairest, grandest queen.
Her act saved her people; and through
them religion to the earth. for as Pales-
tine was in the Persian dominions then,
no Jew would have been left to tell the
tale of the overthrow and ruin of Gods
chosen people, The deliverance has been
celebrated ever since by the Jews by
feast and ball called Purim; and the book
of Esther Is read then and whenever
Humans name is called they stamp their
feet and exclaim: Let his name perishF'
And now the shah of Persia from the far
off Bible land is having a high old time in
England. The kings were not called shahs
in those days-that was a name derived
from Caesar of later times, and so with
kaiser car, etc, showing how Julius
Caesar has impressed his name on the
worlds history. The time will come, /
fear, when we shall have a car, or Gaze
sar, in America for history generally re-
peats itself. But Of all the crowned heads
who could visit America, believe / had
rather see the shah who occupies the
throne occupied by Ahasueras and the in
comparable Esther. Think of gazing on
a man loaded down with 2750000 worth Of
pure diamonds. But ii must be remem-
bered that Edward has one diamond, the
Kohinoor, worth one million dollars. 1t
is about the size of a partridge egg. En-
peror William has a diamond, so it Is re-
ported, worth 100000. After all, the
shah is but a man like the rest of US, and
when I read OF the shah, feel like ex-
claiming pshaw,
'aThe rank is but the guinea stamp,
The mans the gold for all that"
