1t Is Simply a Religious Picture
Blessed by a Priest.
An icon is simply a religious picture.

the subject usually represented Is Ell
Their Russian saint, some event In the
life Of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary.
In the Greek church, as in other Chris
tian churches, the worship Of craven
images is forbidden, but no objection
is made to anything reproduced on a
fiat surface. Therefore icons are per-
mitted in the form Of mosaics, paint
ingS, enamels or prints. They play an
important part in the religious life Of
the Russians and are to be met with
everywhere-in churches, public Offices.
private houses and shops. A picture
to become an icon must be blessed by
a priest, and it Is then regarded not on
~ as an ornament, but as an accessory
in the worship of the Greek church.
Icons are also worn on the person,
when they take the form Of a plaque
or book with two leaves. Almost ev-
cry soldier wears one on his bosom.
and when he prays he takes out his
icon and, opening 1t, kneels down be-
fore 1t as II it were a portable altar.
Every regiment has its own icon.
which it carries as 1t would carry its
banner when the regiment goes into
battle.

SUSPECTS ARE FREED
Rewards for Murderers of Miss kintop
Likely to Be Increased

LITTLE, FALLS, Mimi, April %
The two negro suspects held at Clo-
uuet for the murder of Annie Kintop
have been released, officials from here
finding that they were not the muir
derers. Waseca sends a report that it
is holding a strange negro on suspi-
cion, but it is not believed here that the
arrest is important.
Citizens of Little Falls will ask the
governor to increase the states reward
to $1,000 and the county commission
ers may offer another $1,000.
The tall negro suspected of the muir
der had a long scar on the side of his
face, it has been learned, and should
be easily identified. 1t is said he once
lived in Minneapolis, and had a ba6
reputation there.

EVIDENCE Is COLLECTED SHOW.
ING THAT HE DID NOT AID
MERRILL AND TRACY
Sound Ten Days Before Salem
Break Occurred

Harry C. Wright, arrested by Sher-
if Culver of Salem, Ore, as ne stepped
from the state penitentiary few
weeks ago, and taken to Salem to an
swer the charge of murder for aiding
outlaws Tracy and Merrill to escape
from the Oregon penitentiary, may be
entirely innocent of the charge, ac
cording to a story which comes from
the sound.
At the request of the sheriff's office
at Salem, Sheriff Smith of King
county, has detailed one of his men to
gather certain evidence that the Ore
gon authorities desire. The evidence
collected so far points conclusively to
the innocence of Wright in connec-
ton with the Jail break.
The indictment was returned against
Wright for smuggling gun into
Tracy and Merrill on June s, 1902, the
day before the men made their break
for freedom.
Deputy Sheriff Hill who has had
charge of the work of gathering evil
dence in Seattle, has secured affida-
Wits which have been forwarded to Sa-
lem showing that for ten days before
and following the Jail break Wright
was working at South Park. A ran
cher by the name of Van Horn en-
ployed him during part of the time,
and time books kept by his employers
during that time SHOW that he could
not nave been near the penitentiary at
Salem shortly before the break and at
the time the gun was struggled to
Tracy. The books of the Seattle free
employment office show that he was in
Seattle about the time the gun was
supposed to have been smuggled in to
the penitentiary.
The King county sheriff has secured
affidavits supporting the result of it's
investigations and forwarded them to
the authorities at Salem, Ore. AS this
evidence would probably free the man
upon a trial, the Seattle officials doubt
if the man will ever be called upon to
face a jury.

According to Anglo-Saxon laws, ev-.

reckoned to be worth 200 shillings, that

DANCING GIRL HEIR TO MILLIONS

| ment which seemed to paralyze the So
cial end of Pittsburg.
The bridegroom is Samuel S. Rey-
mer, one of two heirs to Jacob S. Rey-
mer, of Reymer Brothers, candy man
ufacturers, worth millions, and the
bride, Nellie H. Paris, mountaineer
carnival dancer and former kitchen
girl of the Fayette county coke regions
and daughter of a poor carpenter, Will
liam Paris.
The couple were married in March
and left at once for the west. They
are now thought to be in Denver.
The meeting, courtship and finally
the marriage of Mr.. Reymer and Miss
Paris were romantic in the extreme.
Four years ago, when 10 years of age,
Nellie left the smoky mountain town
of Oliver and came to Pittsburg. Her
parents, in their nome at Oliver, say
that she was employed for a time as
kitchen girl in Pittsburg. Afterwards
the glamor of the stage attracted her.
1t was during the season of carnivals
when the Elks had a big street show
in Allegheny three years ago. The
young woman, who is pretty and
graceful, attracted Mr.. Reymer's at
traction. She was dancing on the
stage when the young business man
first saw her.
The parents of young Reymer refus
ed to discuss the wedding. While the
aristocratic family of Reymer may
refuse to receive the dancing daughter

seems little doubt but that the Paris
family are pleased with the new SON.

Winthrop said yesterday:

ers behave there will be no interfer-

attempt any disturbance the police
will be instructed to use their clubs
freely and if that should be in
sufficient then to shoot and to shoot
into the riotous bodies and not over
their heads. There Will be no more

never could find place on our table.
"In the spring Of 1856 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
"It seemed to come from coffee
drinking, but we could not decide.
SIN the following July, however, she
was attacked a second time by the
vomiting. I was away from home fill
ing an appointment at the time, and
on nv return I found her very low;
she had literally vomited herself al
most to death, and it took some days
to quiet the trouble and restare her
stomach.
"I had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved it, each time, by resort to
medicine.
"But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the use Of coffee was at
the bottom of our troubles, and so we
stopped it forthwith and took on Pos
