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 1t 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 orna-
ments from the earliest times. There is a
Greek story of the origin of their use.
Jupiter chained Prometheus to a rock in
the Caucasus. where a vulture preyed on
his liver, which grew again each night.
After $500 years of this chronic liver trou-
bic Jupiter released him, but ordered he
should wear on his finger an iron ring,
having attached to it a piece of the rock,
SO 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 priced. They were tokens of trust, in
sigma OF command, rank and honor;
pledges OF faith and alliance. They have
also been badges of servitude, illustrating
the proverb that extremes meet.
Pharaoh gave his ring to Joseph in token
OF delegated authority. The Oldest rings
now in existence came from Egypt, having
DeeH originally piaCeu on the unSerS OF tHo
dead. The most interesting ring In the
world, at least to antiquarians, is the ring
of Cheops, who built the great pyramid.
It Is Of fine gold. weighing about the same
as three s. gold pieces.
In early Roman times the ring was worn
on the fourth finger OF the left hand from
a belief that vein from 1t passed direct
to the heart. An old Jewish legend tells
us that Tubal Cain, the first of metal work.
ers made the first ring for his wife. The
earliest marriage record of which we have

FEAR A RATE WAR.
Steamship Officials Disturbed Over
Action Of Companies.

At New York the transatlantic steamship
officials are considerably disturbed over
announcement from London Of the with
drawal of the White Star, Dominion and
American lines of the shipping combine
from the North Atlantic passenger con-
ference.
They believe that this action points to-
ward total disruption of the combination
that formed to end the rate war, and
strongly indicates that it is more than pos
sible that the rate war will be resumed.
The withdrawal of the Cunard line from
the agreement of the combine of steam
ship lines, announced by Lord Inverclyde,
chairman of the Cunard company, April
13. in London. was followed yesterday by an
official announcement from the White
Star. Dominion and American lines combine
that these lines had given notice of their
withdrawal from the north Atlantic pas
senger conference first and second class
rate agreements and third class British
and Scandinavian and continental agree
ments
The announcement explains that this
action was taken in view of the with
drawal of the Cunard line from all pas
senger rate agreements recently ar
ranged on account OF the refusal of the
American government to consent to the
American line changing its mail service
sailing day.
1t was, therefore, felt necessary that
the other lines should be equally free
from all agreements so as to be enabled
to protect themselves against any action
| the Cunard line may see fit to take which
may be considered inimical to their inter-
csts.
The Allan, Anchor and Cunard lines,
which are parties to the agreements. have
been notified of the combines with
drawal.

kilograms Await Claimants.

At the telegraph Office the two kilograms
rested upon the operators table awaiting a
claimant. 1t was explained by the operator
that when Mr. Lee does not call at the
office for the messages they are sent over
TO the hotel and kept for him. The two
messages referred to were actually taken
over to the hotel and given to the clerk,
who put them in a drawer. About this time
an effort was made to send dispatch to
the main office of the Maryland Telegraph
Company at Kenilworth. to be delivered TO
house about one hundred yards from the
Office. but the operator promptly said he
knew OF no such company and that he
could not accept a message to be sent to
Kenlworth. He was told that it was claim
ed that messages were sent to his office
from Kenilworth. but this statement did
not change what he had said and he posi-
lively refused to accept the message.
Those who were endeavoring TO have q
message filed recalled that on the backs of
the blanks of the Maryland Telegraph Com
pany the printed information is as follows:

View of States Attorney.

Monday when the members of the COM
mittees of the three citizens associations
called at Upper Marlboro and consulted
the states attorney. they were told by the
latter that the method employed by the
persons who were operating the pool room
did not relieve them of the penalties of the
gambling law. He cited the provisions OF
the law to the citizens and pointed out to
them how easy it would be to make a case.
While he was certain that the mere trans
fer of the money to be played upon the
races would constitute violation of the
law he desired that every point in the
game should be covered.
