this its registered cargo capacity is 49,

anpreciate these figures. Not only is
the shin remarkable for it's size, but
the decorations, the dining service and
the appliances introduced into ocean
travel by this magnificent ship would
make a landsman gasp. The ship has
a florists shop, electric passenger ele-

 ness that in a very few years he has i become possessed of one of the most
 magnificent collections of ts kind in 1 the world. He started collecting com- paratively recently, specializing on the 1 stamps of the British empire and the United States and the Italian states and his remarkable collection is all tht
 more interesting from the fact that il is based on historical lines.

Killing was his trade, and one winter in Virginia Witty he slew 16 men. Timid folk shuddered at sight of him.
 Knowing he was going to be pres ent at a lawsuit in which I had been retained by a client, whose interests were opposed to the desperado. thought it best on the day of the trial to put a couple of oid-fashioned der ringers in my overcOat pocket. Sure enough. Brown was on hand in the little rotom ill which the case was heard, and when I saw him enter the idea came into my mind that he had come to make me his latest victim. His favorite weapon was a big bowie knife, and the knowledge that the william meant to stab me to death made me feel exceedingly uncomfortable. It was enough to make the braYest heart quail. But I knew it would never do to show the creature that he had me scared. and. Joking him squarely in the eye, I brought the pocket of any overcoat around to where he could see the full shape of both my der ringers. My hand was grasping the handle, and was ready to shoot on i the second. These pistols shot with ] terrific force, and would knock down if they did not kill.
 'He was watching me like a hawk and I saw his eye fall on the weapon Before this he had been fumbling at his knife, but immediately he ceased and presently he wolked out of the rom. When the business was over
 I found him in the front of the house

 Railroad Ticket.

New York, Dec. 27.-The right to sign another mans name to a railroad tick ct which has been sold to one Dassen- ger to another was affirmed by the su- preme court here to-day. This decision, which is one of the first of the kind, sets a precedent in the exchange of railroad tickets which affects thou sands of passengers.
 The decision was made by Justice Leventritt in the case of Archibald c. Newburn, accused of having forged the name of Harry E. Whitcomb to a rail- road ticket. Whitcomb was the origin al purchaser of this ticket and sold it to Newburn. The ticket was a round trip between New York and Indianap- oils, Ind, over the New York Central, Big Four and Lake Shore railroads. Ntwburn was arrested here when he signed Whitcombs name to the ticket. Justice Leventritt held that the merits of the ticket carried with 1t the pur- chaer's right to sign to It the name the name of the man from whom he bought if

The flow of gold to Mexico illustrates an important economic principle gov erning the distribution of new stocks of the yellow metal. Some have feared that the new stocks would flood the old gold-standard countries. raise prices and diminish the relative value of bonds to a point disturbing to existing conditions.

Where there was al- commercial centers, has signally failed ready gold enough new countries, like Russia, Japan, Austria, Hungary and the United States, have entered the list of gold countries and have been aided in doing so by the new stocks.

Philadelphia, Dec. 27.-At the annual meeting to-day of the board of man agers of the free museum of science and art of the University of Pennsyl- vania Henry Chapman, jr., member pf the. board of managers, attacked the genuineness of the large collection of gems presented to the museum by the late Professor Maxwell SummerViile' the famous glyptologist. He said the collection reflects nothing but discredlt upon the museum and all those con- nected with it. He offered a resolution which was adopted, calling for the ap- pointment of a committee of five to em- ploy an expert or experts to investigate the collection of gems in the museum.
 The collection of gems in question was presented to the University oi Pennsylvania by Professor Summervblle shortly before his death in 1904. It ls one of the largest collections in the world and has always been considered one of the most valuable. It has beer
 examined with interest by experts iron
