Portland, Oct 5.-The case of
Oscar Stone was submitted to the
jury yesterday afternoon at 4 o.
clock.
Stone, testifying 10 his own de-
fense, admitted having received a
check for $500, payable to bis order
from DR.. Charles w. Crnelius,
and sald that he understood that
as coon as be had entered itto a
contract with d.. Cornelius to lo-
cate his sisters and niece on timber
claims, he was to receive his COM
pen .atiun in advance. He, there.
fore, believed he had a right to cash
the check and appropriate the mon.
ey to bis own use, and did SO.
CJucerning the character of the
land on which he had located the
relatives of DR.. Cornelius, Stone
sail he relied upon information re-
ceived by him from Others that it
was we'll timbered and did not ex-
anime il himself. When he took
the locators to the scene, he poiut-
ed to the land in the distance, aud
as there was a large gulch to cross
to reach it, Stone said the party
decided not to visit the land, but to
be satisfied with a view from the
distance, and to accept the inform :
alton about it ne had received from
others. Stone explained that his
reason for leaving Portland and 60
to Idaho was that he was afflicted
vita asthma. He said be was will.
ing to refund to DR.. Cornelius as
soon as be obtained the money.

Portland Nov. 3.-The Oregon
ian Gays: There is nothing new
under the sun; mot even the Holy
Rollers" A small band of fauatl-
cs kbo~n as the Holy Rollers had
brief career ip 1887, in the town
of Hard wick vt. Their leader
whose nameE was Bridgeman,
having had his mind discomposed
by frequent attendance upon pray
er NEE ings in the neighborhc cd,
professed to be inspired from on
nigh and was not long in eDlisting
several followers. The. exercises at
the meetings Of these fanatics con-
sisted of the most ludicrous and
foolish performances, such as fright
full yelling barking In imitation of
dogs and foxes, smlmIcry ofcuck DOS
and other birds, jumping swing
irg the arms and rolling on the
-four and from the last circumstan-
ces they were called Holy Rollers.
Their leader declared that they
must not shave, and they suffered
their boards to- grow for several
months, when it was revealed to
another of their number that they
must all shave, and it was done.
These fanatics Were Gounten.
ancs and encouraged by large NUN
bers Of the Inhabitants OF Hard
wick and the neighboring towns.
The pastor of the Congregationalist
church, Rev, Chester, preached
vigorous sermonS gainst these ab-
surdlties, whichEwas published and
widely circulated in 1888. Some
of their mum bers were imprisoned
for disturbance Of religious worship
and these fanatics were dispersed.
These facts are set forth 10 mnch

tory of Vermont,t tpablisned in 1S41
The author was q clergyman of the
Episcopal Church and professor of
natural, al,history in the University
of Vermont, and bis narrative may
be accepted as proof that in the
modern Holy Rollers history has
only repeated itself. When the
Holy Rollers appeared in Hard
wick il was townSof 24oo inhabi
tants. and had been organized over
forty years, had good schools and
three churches, and is distant only
twenty one miles from the capital
Of the state, but no civilization, no
environments, will ever be proof
against sudden outbreaks OF fanati-
cism on the part OF ignorant, weak
minded people, who, if not deran-
ged, have unarranged brains.

A Museum Within a Museum.
From the Philadelphia Record.


It Is a long reach from the sixth century
before Christ to the present day, but the
University of Pennsylvania Museum has
just Incorporated a museum of that date
which was discovered by Professor Hell
precht. The museum is not very big, being
entirely contained in a large earthen Jar,
but the contents are very valuable from
an historical standpoint, and show that the
ideas of the early curator were very much
like those Of present curators. Whether
the specimens were excavated or purchased
IS not known, but they undoubtedly repre-
sent a collection which must have been
made during the time of Belshazzar, since
il was found in one of the upper strata at
Nippur The best specimen in the jar is
gon the First, who lived about $500 b. c.
There is a black stone votive tablet Of
Ur-Gur, 2I00 B. c., which tells that this
king built the great wall around the city
of Nippur. Then there is a terra-cotta
brick stamp of Bur-Sin, which is the first
yet found of that king. Another tablet
states that the large hall of the temple
was called Emakh, and also that there
were twenty-four other shrines to gods in
the temple besides the ones that have been
found of Bel and his consort Belts. An
interesting tablet gives some astronomical
observations on Virgo and Scorpion. The
little museum contains nineteen pieces in
all. and the collection will be placed sepa-
rately in the University Museum.

Servants and Mantelpieces.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
Many reasons have been given for the
difficulty with which servants are found
and retained, but apparently one or two
are still left. The latest culprit is said by
lady, who writes as il from experience
to be mantelpieces. The modern mantel-
piece is enormous, and with judicious man.
agement can be made to hold almost as
much as a moderate-sized shop window.
BY the same token, the fashionably dress
ed mantelpiece takes an immense time to
dust and set up: and the time spent IN
taking up each little knick-knack and the
anxiety produced in putting 1t down again
work. 1t Is alleged, on the mind of the maid
servant SO that she gives up the task IN
despair, and presumably takes to the less
Irritating work Of a factory. 1t is quite
certain that our great-grandmothers often
took the trouble of busting their precious
pieces off the hands of their servants,
and that they kept their servants a long
time; but it is not necessary to go deeply
Into logic to find the fallacy in the argu-
ment. After all, 1t is the cook, not the
housemaid, who is wanted. But perhaps
the eulogists of past methods will argue
that our Observation-Disclosures also took into
their own hands the making of many
dishes. Is 1t suggested that In this respect.
too, the modern mistress should try to
meet the existing difficulty? If SO, any of
the many suggestions-no servants, yellow
labor, distributing kitehens-weuld be pre-
feri'ed to this remedy.

A stunning novelty in high-grade cravats
is a two-inch tie cut straight with a slight

grenadine which has a very broad stripe in

The new jackets for next summers wear

made very soft and can be easily washed.
The laundrymen are. to my way OF
thinking. decidedly stupid lot. They have
for years been following certain ways Of
doing up collars. and 1t seems impossible
to get them to either change their methods
or permit customer to have his own way.
The best dressed men insist on domestic,
lusterless finish, and they also insist that
their collars, of the poke and standing va
riety, be ironed and delivered fiat. Laundry
men, however, insist on sending these coll
lars to ones house all rolled up in a tight
coil, which is not proper, as it spoils the
set of the collar. Since pokes came in many
of the laundries bend the points over and
one gets wings instead of pokes. There
may be a few good laundries, probably
there are from the mechanical viewpoint,
but there are blessed few that can be called
good from the viewpoint of the well-dressed
man who knows what he wants and who
finds it very difficult to get 1t.
