1T was in $780," began my friend,
that | was attached to the staff of
Gen. Speirs, the British resident at
the court of the Maharajah of Gualios,
Both the General and his wife were
Scotch, and extremely superstitious.
One morning Mrs. Speirs, when she
made her appearance at breakfast
looked SO unwell that the General re-
marked anxiously:

pound near those old Indian tombs,
when / saw a man of venerable APP
pearance, seated in front of the tomb
nearest the main gate of the Residen-

arose and, advancing toward me,
salaamed respectfully. Thinking him
a beggar, felt in my pocket for my

kincob (cloth of gold), precious stones
and other costly merchandise, we
wandered from one end of India to the
other doing thriving trade.
MY uncle, who, by the way, was
but few years my senior, treated
me more as brother than a nephew,
often telling me that he would leave
me all his wealth when he died. But,
alas! l was not satisfied to wait for
the course of nature. / wanted my
uncle out Of the way at once, so that
might marry his daughter, the beau
teous Fatima. One night, having out
stripped the slowly moving camels, we
arrived at these tombs and determined
to await the arrival of the train. AS
my uncle dismounted from his horse,
j crept behind him and thrust my
sword through his heart. He fell dead
without a groan and l dragged his
body into the tomb, covering it with
shawls, and turned his horse loose
to wander at large.
Il had scarcely done this when the
shouts Of men, the grooming Of camels
and other sounds apprised me Of the
arrival of the caravan. The men I'M

ordering the men to carry 1t into the

Then Married In Dark That Marks OF

Age Might Be Less Apparent
Judge Zell Roe left his bed the otnS
night at IL o'clock to speak the words
which bound together Raglan b. Bay
hard and Lou Farm, aged AZ years,
says the Des Moines News. The cou.
pie walked into the city from oppo-
site directions to reap the reward they
had waited twenty-seven years to re-
ceive and then asked to be wed in
the dark.
The groom arriteS about IL o'clock
and ''hung around" the front yard un-
til the arrival of the bride. They met
in the moonlight and approached the
house hand in hand. 1t had been a
long time since they had last met,
Judge Roc thrust his head from the
door without the formality Of dressing
or striking a light.
please don't strike light, squire"
pleaded the groom in husky voice.
Il reckon Lou amt es purity es she
was twenty-seven years ago. KANT
you tie us up in the dark so we ken
think we air es young es we used t
be?"
When it was over they told a pa
thetic story of humble submission &c
fate. Each had watched tenderly over
the last declining years of father and
mother. For twenty-seven years they
had shaved to ease the path of inval
ids in the separate homes. A few
days ago the death angel fitted away
with the soul of an aged mother in
one home and father from the other
The angel opened wide the door
which has been barred these long
twenty-seven years.
Judge Roe will not deny that he
felt thrill of JOY as he watched them
wandering arm in arm down the moon
lit road.

"Thrust my sword through his heart

tidings were but too true. The dread
disease was doing it's fell work, spar
ing neither young nor old.
And now comes the strange part
of my story. During the Generals
absence, his wife had the tomb search
ed. The two skeletons were found as
described, and the treasure. The
lamp, which stood in niche at the
foot of the stairs, was brought away,
the remains of the men were buried
and the treasure was left in the sub
terranean chamber. Then came the
cholera epidemic.
Among the victims was the head
mahont elephant keeper) and his
son, both of whom persisted In a few
hours. One day the wife Of the dead
man confessed that they had reopeneI
the chamber and stolen the treasure.
The money was sent to the Directors
of the Honorable East India Company.
The amount was upwards Of 100000.
Now, mark the sequel. In 1857, the
Indian mutiny broke out, the East In
dia Company lost its charter and the
vast territory passed under the control
of the British government. Was this
due to the Kashmiri's curse. Quien
sabe? as the Spaniards say.

One Item of the Cost.

The Port Arthur fleet was said to
be worth in money. before the begin
ming OF the war, $15O,0OO.O0O. 1t is
probably worth now just what it will
bring for old junk. although 1t is pos
sible that some of the vessels may be
raised and put in commission again.
But the $15O,OOO,OOO that this feet rep
resented is all gone, so far as Russia
is concerned. And this Is but one
item in the enormous cost of the great
struggle that is being waged In the
far East.-Peoria Journal

AneIesey's Fad for Jewelry.

1t has been set on record that when
Lord Anglesey was in his full glory
on the stage he supported 100000
worth of jewelry. In ordinary attire
he wore a single pearl stud for which
a dealer has been willing to pay
$1S,250. At per cent this ornament
represents 5000 a year. Supposing
the marquis wore II once a fortnight
he could scarcely In fairness to his
scores of other studs wear it oftener
1T cost him about $45 every time his
valet put 1t in his masters shirt.

Soldiers Sing on the March.

Music, says the London Globe, has
always played a great part In fighting
and Lord Wolseley declares that
troops that sing as they march will
not only reach their destination more
quickly, and in better fighting condi-
ton than those who march In silence,
but inspired by the music and words
of national songs will feel that self
confidence which is the mother of vic
tory. In the Japanese army it Is the
custom for the soldiers to sing as
they go into battle and rush to the
charge. The practice was remarked
during the operations Of the allied
Powers against Pekin. Their favorite
song is the "Kimi Gayo," or national
anthem, which has been Englished as
follows:
May our lords dominion last
Till a thousand years hav passed
Twice four thousand time o'ertold.
Firm as changeless rock, earth rooted,
Moss of ages uncomputed.
In the Russian army tests were
made few years ago to find the value
Of marching songs, and the results
so confirmed Lord Wolseley's dictum
that the regulations now decree that
regiments on march and in advancing
to charge Ghall sing national songs

WALL STREET REVIEW
UNIMPoRTANT VOLUME OF BUsI-
NESS Is DONE.
News Bearing On Values Was Slight
But In Absence of Threatening
Developments, There Was
Little Pressure.

NEW YORK, June 20.--An unimport-
ant volume OF business was done in the
STOCK market today, but the tone was
nrm and confident over the prospect Tor
values. News bearing upon values was
slight. but in the absence of threaten
ing developments and with protection
anorded to Southern Pacific there was
no urgent pressure to sell. Bankers
usually intrusted with financial opera
lions for the company were large buy
ers of Southern Pacific and the offer
ings, including several thousand shares
TOT London account. were readily ao-
sorbed. The circular issued by the
president to the stockholders on legis-
iation of the proposed preferred stock
issued seemed to make favorSbl I'M
preston upon sentiment. and was fol-
lowed by the rise in the stock to 46 3-s.
Tnls was a sensible relief to the gen
eral market, where the effect on a de-
cline in southern Pacific had been de-
cided,. The possible upsetting effect OF
the sharp drop in Metropolitan and III
brooklyn Transit, the latter on reports
or the marketing of additional bonds
py the company. The movements In
Metropolitan and Manhattan were based
upon the assumed results of the bust
ness OF the two systems of the coming
opening of the subway systems. There
was rumors of further bond issues by
the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany. Weekly estimates by railroad
omcials over traffic was little changed
from the recently previous tenor, but
they showed conditions no worse. Good
earnings for the second week in June
coming to hand make better compari
sons with last years figures than for
some time past. Missouri Pacific re-
ports for April showing net earnings
of less than half those for last year
did not affect the firmness of that stock.
Confidence in the condition of crops was
unimpaired. although there was some
complain of rains in the harvest Sec
ton which made an impression on the
wheat market. With no fears for the
favorable progress of the crops and
with the extraordinary strength of the
banking position showing by Satur-
days bank statement there is awaited
the progress of the movement with
hopes for a favorable outcome. Cash
reserves, and especially gold holdings,
are now well above any previous rec
ord. The satisfaction over this show
ing has its reservations4as to it's index
or idle trade conditions. and as to the
responsibility for high interest rates on
deposits paid by the New York banks
in erecting the result. but 1t insures
freedom from al pressure of securities
In the market from the necessity of sre-
alizing ready cash. None of the best
prices of the day was maintained. The
market became lifeless at the slight re-
action and closed stagnant. Except for
liquidation in Consolidated Tobacco As,
prices for bonds were firm. Total sales

registered declined 1-8 on call.
