Total Dead III.

Birmingham, Ala, special:-With
the removal of the last four bodies
from the Virginia mine, the total
fatalities from the awful explosion Of
February 20 was swelled to Ill. The
recovery of the bodies has been slow
and difficult TASK. The fund which was
raised for the relief of the widows and
orphans left by the disaster reached
nearly $4,000, and this is being dis
tributed among them in the form Of
semi-monthly allowance by commit
lee Of prominent ministers in the Bir-
mingham district.

BIRD INVESTS WITH POWER.
Superstition Connected with Jewe1ed
Toy of EngIand's King.

Wy vi lily
When as a girl Arnelie de France,
now Queen of Portugal, first visited
Windsor Castle, the mystic jeweled
bird which was taken from the throne
of Tippoo Sa.lib and presented by the
East India Company to George Ill,
was the object of her profoundest ad.
smiration. In fact, it fascinated her 70.
mantle soul, and Queen Victoria, who
had strong strain of romance in her
nature, quite understood her young
guests feeling, SO she ordered the
bird to be taken to the princess apart
ment, in order that sketch might
be made of the treasure. The first
thing the Queen Of Portugal asked
for the night she entered the ban
saw the blaze of the celebrated gold
plate upon the buffet, was this jeweled
bird! His majesty Immediately or
dered that it should be placed upon
the table in front of the Queen, that
she might gaze upon it at her leisure.
There are many legends woven
about that bird. A London journal
says the Hindoos call it "Uma," and
they say that whoever owns Una
must reign over India. 1t is supposed
to have the gift of locomotion, and it
alights upon the head of whosoever it
endows with royal power. 1t is about
twelve inches long, and is shaped like
pigeon with an exaggerated tail.
Rubies, brilliants, emeralds and pearls
are sewn about tie quivering feathers
of filagree gold work: it holds price
less ruby in its beall, and an emerald
of great size and luster hangs from
its breast. The bird shares with the
Kohinoor the superstitious regard OF
the Hindoos. While the Una folds it's
wings in the castle on the Thames,
and while the Kolinoor blazes in the
English crown, there is nothing else
4 to do but be as good. subjects Of King
Edward as may be. 1t is the will OF
the gods.

finally induced to talk remarked:
.I'ye noticed one popularity about my
customers that could never quite ex-
plain. The less hair man has the
more attention he pays to it.
There's real estate agent who
comes in here nearly every week for a
hair cut, and if shave him clean
from the back Of his collar to his fore
heal you'd never know that I'd
touched him.
He's got a short, light-colored fringe
that plays around the rim of his hat,
like the soft, fluffy fringe you see on
those shawls the women wear over
their shoulders, but you'd think to
hear him, that he could braid it and
do it up in coils. Wants me to be par
ticular and trim it close on the neck
and around the ears.
81 humor him, of course. take a
handful of somebody clse's hair and
sprinkle it On the cloth put on him,
and then snip the air gently for 10
or Is minutes and make great ado
whsn whisk him off.
Nine out of every ten of the bad.
heads are that way, but men who've
got plenty of hair will keep away
from here uni! they look like the
edges of an oldefashioned hayloft. It's
curious. and, as said, never could

Greenville, Special.-Five bales of
cotton belonging to j. c. Roe, of TRAY
eler's Rest. were burned on a wagon
in the country road a few miles from

that the cotton was set on fire from
cigar which was being smoked by
one of the parties who helped load
the cotton, or by matches being drop
ped in the wagon, which might have
ignitea by friction caused by the jolt

with corporations or individuals for
the construction OF any portion or all
of the Panama canal. This statement
was made by Secretary Taft today
while discussing the conditions on the
isthmus. There is some doubt wheth.
er any corporation will be willing to
undertake the excavation OF the Guile.
bra cut or any cut of the magnitude
OF that work. 1t is not the excavation
that will be so difficult as much as the
disposition Of the earth taken out Of
the cut. But as to the other work the
government will be ready to enter into
contracts for it's completion as soon
as it is determined what the type of the
canal shall be.
1t Is stated that contract could no,
be made during the preliminary stages
OF the work because the governmen,
had to prosecute the construction until
it's officers knew what had to be done
and had q sufficient knowledge of the
conditions to pass upon bids and make
judicious contracts.

Russian Railroads Tied Up.

Moscow, Oct. 23.-Trafic on seven
of nine main trunk arteries of com.
merce radi ating from Moscow was COM
pletely paralyzed yesterday by the
railroad strike and the commercial
heart Of Russia has been shut Off from
all communication with the rest Of the
empire except with the narrow section
to the northwestward, including St.
Petersburg and the Baltic provinces.
The strike coming at this time is apt
to seriously cripple the work OF relief
in the famine stricken provinces and
also to impede the movement OF this
years grain crop as the railroads are
not able to keep the grain moving
promptly. Further reports show that
los, 200 loads were awaiting removal
on October 20. to various sections and
that the famine districts are daily a c
cumulatiug their grain at the sta
tiOns.
