nAs MANY ANTIQUES.
Brother of the Late Senator Stanford | WouId Donate them to University.

San Francisco, Aug 5.-The Exam iner says: Thomas Welton Stanford of Melbourne, brother of the late Seu- ator Stanford. has offered to give to Stanford university an almost price less collection of antiques which he says were collected for him from Egyptian tombs by the astral body of a blacksmith mystic. who took but 20 seconds for the round trip from Egypt TO Australia. The name of the black smith medium or mahatma is c.

Dr Jordan, however. has made 1t clear that this collection. the list of which includes many articles of great value as antiquities, will not De ac- cepted, passing his objection on the openly ayOwed method of it's collect ing.'

MEMORY or FRANKLIN.
Preparint to Commsmosats Birth of
 Ben tamin Franklin

New York, Aug 5.-A movement having for Its object an adequate com memoration in this city of the 2OOth anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin next January has been in augurated among various societies in New York.
 The. initial steps were taken by the Pennsylvania society a few days ago. A preliminary conference followed, at tended by representatives from num- Der of organizations and much inter- est was shown in the proposition.
 It is probable that the commemora- tion will take the form of a great pub lie meeting together with an exhibition of Franklin books, portraits and such personal relics as may be preserved in New York.

F. F. Brett says he is out for the 1 democratic nomination for town clerk
 and that he believes the party will l give it to him. It has been decided on the other side that John Blair. the present incumbent of that office, will get the nomination again this year. Bretts friends claim that they can elect him hands down.
 It was said to-day that Carl French
 nas the lead in the nomination for
 city clerk on the republican ticket. O1 course this didn't emanate from Clifford Els. W. J. Sandland or any of their packers Sandland's friends were in the field early and will make all competitors hustle, and it goes
 without saying that the ELS aggrega-
 non will not let grass grow under
 their feet from now on.
 The democrats are sending out DOS
 tai cards to voters whose names ap-
 pear on both primary lists. A good
 deal or this was done two years ago
 Dy republican heelers and in most in-
 stances the parties whose names were
 rrified with knew nothing about It.
 Many of them don't know it vet. The
 registrars have decided that nobody
 whose name is on both lists will be allowed to vote at the coming primar- les, consequently 1t behOOves all to see
 that this matter is lighted on or before next Friday. This can be done by calling upon the registrars and statlng which party you intend to vote for.
 Mayor Elton is out of town today and Mir Blakeslee is holding the rib bons. Next week Mir Elton will start on vacation for a few weeks and then nobody will hear anything auth ortative from the republican camp un- til after September 1. when the grand advisers will be summoned together 10 decide what course to pursue, In the meantime the skirmishers will oc- cupy their time nosirg around after democratic news and endea ayorine to stir up discord in the ranks. This is good politics and if the democrats are not onto it they had better throw up the sponge at once and leave the enemy in undisputed possession of the field.
 Ralph Blakeslee isn't as strong in his party this year as he was two years ago. So one of the managers told reporter this morning. "Things were bottled up for Blakeslee so tight two years ago." he said. "that John Elton couldn't have got a lock in if Blakeslee wanted to hold on. After it became known that the election was a dead sure thing John Kellogg and a few others got after Ralph and talked him into dropping out. Blakes- lee would have been elected then by even bigger majority than Elton got. but he is just that kind of man It did him more good 10 say that ne | had it, and stepped aside for party | harmony that it would to win out and | make trouble. don't think he will | he nominated this year and I'm not ! iware thai he is working hard to get | 1t.

CHANGES COLOR OF HIS SKIN.
Doctors Tell Edward Kennedy He Is
 Losing Pigment.

 Stamford, Aug 5.-"Can the Ethiou change his skin or the leopard his spOts!" asked Jeremiah of old.
 Edward Kennedy is changing his skin from black to white But he does i not change his spot. an eating house on Main street. which he keeps. Ken. nedy's hands and forearrns. his mouth, chin and neck have become white. Circles of white skin surround his eyes and ears and give him an appearance somewhat gr0tesque. He says patches of white are appearing all over his body. and as he is only e4 years old he believes he may live to see himself white man.
 Kennedy began to speckle first about six years ago. For ten years he has been dosing himself with s tea of herbs which he brews. He is certain this lea has kept him in good health. and he is inclined to believe that it has caused the spreading change in his color. Physicians who have seen Ken neiy insist the tea has had nothing to do with making him piel,sM The learned doctors say that Kennedy is losing the pigment from cireum- serif-ed areas of his skim but they do not know what causes this loss of pig nlent- for Kennedy has no atfiiction of the skin.

STRIKE CAUSED HIS DEATH.
Coal Merchant Who Fought Teamsters
 Was Worn Out by Strain

COaI Merchant Who Fought Teamsters
 Was Worn Out by Strain.
 Chicago, Aug 5.-Edwin F. Daniels, president of the coal company bearing his name, died suddenly Thursday night as the result of an operation.
 MT Daniels was active among the employers from the outset of the teamsters' strike. It was at his sug- gestion that the real issue of the strike was forced. when the teamsters en- ployed by the Edwin F. Daniels Coal Co were ordered to deliver coal to the Montgomery Ward house. The nerv- ous strain under which he worked is believed to have been responsible to a great extent for his illness. He was 57 years old.

A Waterbury man tells of strange sequel to an experience in which he figured years ago when he was a resi- dent of the wild and woolly west. He went out one night with the boys io rob an orchard. but the owner got wind of the intended invasion and confronted the party wuh q shotgun the moment they entered the fruit garden. All took to their heeis and while making their way back over the fence several of them were riddled with shot from the euragei ranch mans gun This particular fellow got hit in the hack and few grains IorIged farther down his body and re rnained there until with the rest they were removed next day by his com radeS. After a time the episode passed cut of his mind and he never thought much of II until a few weeks ago when q small lump came over his shin bone and bothered him so that he was o5Iiged to call upon a pnysician. The doctor examined the sore spot and then took his lance and opened it. removed grain of shot and showed 1t sc the patient. inquiring as be dii s, if he had any recollection of being shot Then the scene of many years ago came back to him in all it's vivid ness and now he claims that that grain If shot escaped the notice of his comrades at the time and finally worked its way sknwn t~fwr~r tHe skin and fe4b until ff ea lodged in 1 front of his shin bone and made a sore ' np0E

They drank in turn from his flask and marched
the brisker as they drew nearer to the woods. The
scene at this moment was picturesque as any
the morning had shown them. y thin white mist
lay over the park of Buzenval The leahess trees,
thrusting out bare branches into the fog seemed
many scntinels defending the hidden Prussian
lines. Grass, fresh and green and wet gave

He drew the veil across the picture lmpat1ently,
and would hear no more of it. The shadow of the
dream lay heavy upon him; but that which he would
have barered his soul to learn was the secret of the
little hand which touched the dreamers heart.
Would Sabine come to him in the hour of his death?
A strange fatality answered that it might be So
The last great sortie from Paris began the morning
of January Q, and continued the following day.
Dolores Morizon did leave the city, for she had
her work do in the quarters where the shells fell
thiCkly and the stricken children spoke of the glory
and the pomp of war Edmund OrlOpp, however,
was up shortly before dawn; and being of the
few civilians who still possessed horse the majority
of the others long since had been eaten), he rode
from the Porte Mailot at half-past seven in the
morning and speedily found himself one of a great
and disorderly army which had sworn to defeat the
Prussians to return.
Little as he believed in the artist Gabries dream
picture, OrlOpp, nevertheless had promised Dolores
that he would look after her friend and sooner
did he up with the soldiers than he asked them
for news of the Fifty-second Battalion of which
Gabriel had commanded company almost since
the siege began.
You will find them the Montretout side of
ValGrien," young Mobile said; while older man,
who shivered with the cold added the further in
timaton And if you as hungry as we are,
you may eat them, monsieur"
The troops around laughed at the sally, and
glad to laugh. Clear as the morning broke its raw
air did not inspire courage; and many lad who
looked down from the heights upon the western side
of Paris told himself that his body might lie in
of the valleys below at midnight. These fellows,
half starved and wholly wretChed, did not believe

driven back They scotfed at General
DuCrOt's manifestOS. They would have
sold half of France for a good ragout and
a dish of chicken to follow it. As it
was, they must plod on, in tattered
boots and ragged uniforms, through
mud and dirty snow, in the midst of
artillery-wagOns innumerable, by the Red

1t was no easy task to make his way
by the barricades which the French had
erected everywhere upon the road to
Mont NalGnen, that mighty fort which
defended Paris upon its western side; but
partly by cajolery, partly by honest
British determination, OrlOpp forced a
passage; and keeping upon crest of the
hills he perceived the whole battlefield
presently, and became aware that the
action had begun In the distance,
across a great, bare eXpanse of plain,
stood the plateau of La Bergerie and the
Prussian batteries at Garches A hay
mist did not permit more than an outline
of the woods and park of Buzenval; but
Immediately below him in the valley a
countless horde of red-legged blue-coated
troops advanced toward those woods at

full witnesses to their courage upon the
muddy fields behind them.
