Standard Oil Co. Explains.

New York, Oct. 25.-C. T. Dodd, oi
 counsel for the Standard Oil company,
 today authorized the following state
 ment: 'In view of many false and mis- leading statements from variou: sources, the directors of the Standard
 OIl company deem it advisable to state
 to company's shareholders and the
 public that neither now nor at any
 time has the Standard Oil company or
 any of its condiments been interested
 in any business not directly related and necessary to the petroleum trade ''
 It would be almost impossible to designate in this denial the different classes of business with which irre- sponsible parties have coupled the Standard Oil company's name, but it may not be amiss to specify copper, steel, banks, railroads, gas (other than natural gas) as being most prominent yl mentioned. With none of these affairs has the Standard Oil company been at any time connected. Individ- ual members of the Standard Oil con- pany have been and are entered as individuals in various enterprises and entirely outside of the business of the Standard Oil company, which is oil alone unaffected by other interests in which it's stockholders may invest. Neither is it true that the Standard Oil company, John D. Rockefeller or any otncer of Standard Oil company, has taken any part in securing the nomination of any of the candidates for office, as is positively stated, fur thermore it is entirely untrue that there is any Standard Oil party'' banded together for speculation in stocks, as is SD generally charged. The name of Standard Oil company ire quently used by designing persons in the stock market but it's use is unwarranted. The Standard Oil company departs from its usual GUS tom in making this denial for the req. son that the statement is being made at this time by newspapers and maga- zines and sensational public speakers appear to be of the unusual mendac- ious order and may to a great extent mislead the public.

A NICE AND
 CLEAN SHOW

Gentry Bros. trained animal circus played to a good business at both per formanoes yesterday. The big tent was we'll filled in the afternoon, made up largely of ladies and children.
 The show was a nice clean perform ance of an educational and instructive nature showing 70 what extent the dumb animal mind may be trained by kindness and painstaking care. The ponies, monkeys and dogs were a de- light to the little people and the num- erous and difficult feats were perform ed with a care and cheerfuiLess which showed that even animals can be trained to take an interest and pleas ure in their work. This kind of show should not only prove instructive and a pleasure to the children, but furnishes an object lesson which should be of benefit to that great number who never take interest in their work and consider it as not worth while to learn to perform any of their work thoroughly.

to retard a complete and satisfactory
 settlement of the differences between
 Great Britain and Russia arising frorl the deplorable North Sea affair. King
 Edward has received from Emperoc Nicholas himself cablegram expres- sing the deepest regret and the practi- cal acknowledgement that Great Brit ain note will meet with a reply cor ceding every demand and for iu aooi. ogy for the act of aggression esaiAs5 the British flag, and compensation foa the suffering and the punishment o9 the officers responsible for what is considered to have been a gigantic blunder. The Russian ambassador to court of St. James has expressed to Foreign Minister Lansdone his sorrov and sympathy. These developments which came late today have allayed to some extent the deep resentment ir the public mind and the admiralty to- night gave evidence of its spprecia- tion.
 In appreciation of the necessity of proving that it is prepared to support the position of the people of Great Britain and fulfill the expectations of the world it issued the following statement: "On receipt, on October 24, of the news of the North sea trag- edy, preliminary orders for the mutu- al support and cooperation were issu- ed, as a measure of preccaution, from the admiralty to the channel, Mediter- ranean and home fleets" What Great Britain stirred to the depths, there has not been the slightest evidence of 6 repetition of rowdism of last night, which is condemned on all sides.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 9, ? 50 a. m. -
 Vice Admiral Roiestvensky's reasons
 for firing Into the British fishing fleet.
 remains as great mystery as ever.
 Again at midnight the admiralty an nounced that the admiral's report of
 the affair had not been tried. Mean
 time, without waiting for the Russian
 version of the affair, Emperor Nicho-
 las, through Ambassador Hardinge,
 has sent to King Edward and his gov
 ernment a message conveying the eX- pression of his profound regret for the unfortunate affair, coupled with the assurances that the families of the victims should receive the fullest reparation. While Briton awaits an for the act, which it char acterizes in strong language as un- justifiable, deliberate and inhuman, it makes no threats, fixes no time limit for the response, and contains no demands, the note specifically states that Great Britain's demands are reserved pending the receipt of an explanation. What the nature of de- mands will be must necessarily be a matter of speculation until Admiral report arrives but if in the nature as established, that the squadron actually changed formation before opening fire they would fix the responsibility on and who ever the author of offense may be, it is regarded as certain that Great Britain will demand among other things his punishment. 1t is also considered certain that a failure to promptly comply with de- hands would immediately be followed by Ambassador Hardinge's recall.

OpalS in High Favor.

In spite of the old-time superstition
there seems to be grave doubt about
the ill-luck attaching to opals in the
minds of the girls of today, for opals
are very much worn. There is hard
ly more beautiful stone than the
opal, and jewelers. say that if they
continue to win their way in popular
favor they will become more costly.
Hitherto they have been cheaper than
their beauty led one to expect they
would be, but that was because the
superstition about their ill-luck bring
ing powers made people fear to own
them, and thus the demand for them
was comparatively small. An opal
surrounded by smaller brilliants makes
a charming setting for ring. The
diamonds reflect the rainbow tints of
the opal, and the combination of stones
is one which shows the beauties of
both to best advantage.

A man who prides himself on having q

rule that they do not take life very
seriously in their hours of leisure. He
began to address them on literature
and you will presently be able to i'm.
agine the sort of stuff he talked II
was not long before he touched on
George Meredith and expressed opin-
ions which might have caused an out
burst. Instead of this, some one sug-
gested deferentially that he talked toe
generally; that he would be better com
pretended il he illustrated his views
by a reference to any one of the nov
els. He thought the suggestion a wise
one and left the choice of the book tC
his audience The original proposer of
this eminently reasonable plan imme
diately suggested 'Tess of the Dur
bervilles." and the other went ahead
obligingly accepting the choice. What
he said does not need to be recorded
but it is rather notable that to this day
he does not know the trick that was
being played on him because he is be-
ing preserved for some future occasion.
