RINGS LONG BEEN WORN.
Origin Of Custom Traced to Prone
theus and Rock.
From the Chicago Chronicle.


In many lands and through many ages a
ring has been the symbol of marriage
Young folk are seldom much In love with
antiquities. but here is an exception to the
rule. for there are few things older than
the wedding ring, and in II young people
have not yet lost their interest. There has
been much cutlery against rings political.
but here is the all dominating. all-attract-
I've, most influential of mergers, and of all
combinations the hardest to break. -
Finger rings have been used as ornaL
ments from the earliest times. There Is a
Greek story of the origin of their use. Jupi-
ter chained Prometheus to a rock in the
Caucasus where a vulture preyed on hts
liver, which grew again each night. After
900 years of this chronic liver trouble
Jupiter released him, but ordered he should
wear on his finger an iron ring, having at
tached to II a piece of the rock, that
the deity might keep his oath of perpetual
Imprisonment. Hence the use of rings Of
metal with jewels. Rings seem TO have
been among the first trinkets given and
sigma of command. rank and honor: pledges
of faith and alliance. They have also been
badges of servitude. illustrating the proverb
that extremes meet ,.-. o. ..-.-r- .-- ~
Pharaoh gave his ring TO Joseph In token
Of delegated authority. The oldest rings
now in existence came from Egypt. having
been originally placed on the fingers of
the dead. The most interesting ring in the
world, at least to antiquarians, Is the ring
of Cheops who built the great pyramid
1t Is of fine gold weighing about the same
as three So gold pieces.
In early Roman times the ring was worn
on the fourth finger of the left hand from
a belief that "A vein from it passed direct
to the heart An old Jewish legend tells
us that Tubal Cain, the first OF metal
workers, made the first ring for his wife.

on Cape Flauery. and. according to the
officers of the Norwegian steamer Tricolor.
the red men In the vicinity of Neah bay
have been living high on blubber ever

each harpoon was attached a tight blown

sufficiently near a harpoon was thrown into
the whales tough hide When the Victoria
tug Lorne came upon the scene the whale
had been hit" many times and resembled
monster hedgehog. In addition to the
annoyance caused by the forest of steel
shafts there were so many bladder5 moor
ed to his carcass that, try as he would. he
could not sink and so find at least a tenn
porary refuge from his tormentors When
the Indians had assured themselves of the
buoyancy of their prey they threw in a few
more harpoons with lines attached and at
tempted to herd the whale into Neah bay,
at the same time using him as a towboat
for the fleet. But the big fish was too far
gone to be of much use in harness; So with
few bombs. the Siwashes torpedoed the
monster to death and hired tugboat to
tow the carcass into Neah bay. They
beached the remains, and are still SERVING

INTERESTING COURT DECISIONS.
In Suits Instituted by Catholic Church
in Porto Rico.
Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star
SAN JUAN. p. r., June 3d. 1905.
The supreme court of Porto Rico this
week rendered interesting decisions on de-
murrers interposed by the insular govern
ment in the suits instituted by the Roman
Catholic Church to recover two valuable
buildings and the sum of about sS0.000 taxes.
with five years interest. The court sustains
the governments demurrer as to the taxes
and interest but holds that the title to the
big San Francisco barracks In San Juan
and chapel in Santurce is sufficiently In
doubt to warrant continuing the church's
case and hearing evidence.
The tax claim Of the church is unique.
Under Spanish rule the annual budget all
ways included a sum for the maintenance
and repair of churches, pay OF the clergy.
etc. The budget for 1S9S-99, covering the
fiscal year beginning July !. 1888. appro-
priated about s120000 for such church sup
port. In July. 1898. came American occu-
patton. The United States military authori-
ties ordered continuance OF taxes, but
the Spanish authorities had already coll
lected and given to the church about $40 900
OF the appropriation.
The United States collected the remaining
$4,000 and applied 1t to the expenses OF the
military government. 1t was this sum
with interest, that the church has sought
to recover. and that much of their case has
been thrown out OF court. Ex-Secretary
Charles Hartzell, for the insular govern
ment argued that change of sovereignty
wiped out the old church claims and also
that the designation of funds for certain
individuals of the clergy raised a legal
question as TO who could bring legal suit.

At Indian Head, where is located the ex-
pertinent station for the Northwest Terri
tory was found one of the most striking
Illustrations OF the ups and downs OF for
tune that has been met with on the trip.
There the party was introduced TO a courtly
English gentleman named Bell. who bore
the title of major. He was the pioneer of
the section. having settled there in 1852.
He was far-sighted and ambitious. and
early saw the great advantages OF the
country. Being possessed OF ample means
and finding land cheap. he bought from tho
government and other owners a tract OF
land ten miles square and comprising "a 600
acres. He Immediately began farming on
an extensive scale and continued In that
line for sixteen years. having at one time
as much as 1900 acres of land under cuiti-
Walton But the conditions were not ripe
FOR the enterprise. and he was compelled
by force OF circumstances TO abandon IL IN
1898. just before the beginning OF the era
OF prosperity. which Is now such a marked
characteristic OF the entire country
In the same room with Major Bell when
the newspaper men met him was a Mr
Champkin. who was presented as one OF the
leading citizens of the town. and when the
correspondents drove out to see the town
and surrounding country they were shown
Mr.. Champkin's house-a magnificent mod
ern structure surrounded by trees and a
nne garden. and from tall pole in the
yard of which the British colors waved tri-
umphantly. The circumstance which rem
ders the narrative romantic Is vouched for
by one OF the most responsible Canadian
members OF the party. and IL Is this: He
says that when Major Bell was at the
height of his farming career he found II
necessary to go to Winnipeg to secure
labor. and there engaged the services OF an
immigrant family from England, the MEM
bers OF which were among the least prom
Using of all the people employed. That
was the family of the father OF Mr.. Champ
kin, who was then a mere lad. He deyel-
oped rapidly under the new influences, so
that when Mr.. Bell found II necessary to
dispose OF his property the young man was
able to buy portion OF it. To this he has
made additions until he now owns 960 acres
of II, including the portion on which was
located Major Bells homestead. He has
$50 acres in wheat and expects to harvest
from 1900 to 1900 bushels OF that cereal
during the present year. n. o. NJ.

REGINA, Assiniboia July 1, 1905.
This is the capital of the Northwest Terri
tory, comprising the subdivisions of Assini-
boia. Alberta, Saskatchewan and Atha-
basca. When the two new provinces are
created there will be good old-fashioned
Yankee town-site fight for the new capital
The Washington correspondents were de-
lightfully entertained at the home of the
governor of Northwest Territory, NJ For
get. polished French Canadian. and his
wife, charming little lady. The governor
occupies a really palatial home. richly fur
nished, and with steam heat, electric lights
and all modern conveniences.
A conservatory of large dimensions in
closes fine collection of plants of south
ern climes, which are the wonder of the
country side when the bleak prairie is COW
cred with snow and the arctic winds whistle
down from the mountains. Naturally a
great deal of the talk was about the new
provinces and the possible location of the
capital.
The New Provinces.
The new provinces can be compared only
with Texas among the states of the Union.
Each comprises about 10000 square miles
OF territory. They include all the vast re-
gion between the western boundary of
Manitoba, projected northward to the Goth
parallel, on the east, and British Columbia
on the west. and between the United States
on the south and the Goth parallel of north
latitude on the north. The dividing line be-
tween the two new provinces is the 10th
meridian. Looking at the map. you VIII see
that the new province of Alberta will take
in all of the old district of Alberta, half of
Athabaska and a slice off the districts of
Saskatchewan and Assiniboia.
The province of Saskatchewan will include
nearly half of Athab aska and most of AS
siniboia and Saskatchewan. The little piece
of Saskatchewan and Athabaska that pro-
jects over the northern end of Manitoba
is to be thrown into the unorganized terri
boia and Athabaska entirely disappears In
the shuttle.
Already there is the capital fight so ia
miliar to Inhabitants of the western states.
The site of the permanent capital of each
of the new provinces will be determined by
the respective provincial assemblies or leg
iSlatures. Edmonton aspres to remain the
permanent capital of Alberta, and Regina
will not admit that ii has rival for the
position of permanent capital of Saskat-
chewan province. However, there are jeal-
Gus towns around. and there is some talk
that all of the towns that are jealous of
Regina may pull together and endeavor to
locate the capital at Saskatoon, 160 miles
northwest of Regina. Just at present Saska-
toon Is a great center for landseekers and
homeseekers, and is bustling little city Of

northwest Mounted Police, that splendid
body of policemen, who are really civil
cavalry, that patrols and maintains order
in the immense district between the United
States and the Arctic ocean and Manitoba
and British Columbia. 1t is said that some
of the American settlers do not take kind
ly to the presence of these policemen. To
them 1t is too much like being under
schoolmaster's eye all the time. But per-
feet order maintains in the Canadian west;
a shooting melee or cowboys that run
