A FAMOUS STAR GROUP.
The Constellation Orion In Legend
and Literature.

The Constellation Orion In Legend
and Literature.
The constellation Orion is mentioned
in the literature Of all ages. In Egypt
1t represented Horus, the young or ris-
ing sun, In boat surmounted by stars,
closely followed by Sirius, which was
shown as COW. 1t has also been
found sculptured on the walls of
Thebes 5000 years ago. And on the
men Of that early time it shone down
from the same position and with the
striking example of the unchange-
ableness of the heavens.
From the days of the early Hindoos
to the present the constellation has for
some reason borne always stormy
character. Allusions to Its direful influ-
ence are found everywhere among the
classic writer's. Thus Milton wrote:
When with fierce winds Orion arrived
Hath vexed the Red sea coast.
The loss of the Roman squadron In
the first Punic war was ascribed to the
fleets having sailed Just after the ris-
Ing of Orion. The group has also been
employed as calendar sign, Its morn
ing rising indicating the beginning Of
summer, its midnight rising the season
of grape gathering and Its early even
Ing rising the arrival of winter, with
Its attendant storms. In recent times
the group has always represented a
great hunter or warrior. Its present
title came into Greek astronomy from
the Euphrates and originally signified
the light of heaven.

ENGLISH SOCIETY WOMEN.


Caustfc Comment on Their Love of
Drugs and Liquor.
A prominent London journal prints
the following Indictment of the habits
of many English society women: "a
lower classes we found intemperance
rife, and then it was the beer of the
people which supplied the means; to-
day we find intemperance rampant
from the highest to the lowest, the
vehicle being alcohol, impure and sim
pie, vile concoctions labeled indiffer-
emily brandy, whisky, gin. Our
wearicd. jaded votaries of pleasure
seek temporary recuperation from
these impure sources; then, when
their day Is done, they resort to their
sulphonal trional, morphia or what
not in the vain hope of q nights good
rest. Another most appalling fact
that we have to face is the rapid In
crease in the number of women among
the inebriate ranks.
"What is the daily life history Of a
woman in society? Too jaded by self
ish indulgences, after night of NOR
bid sleep born of some favorite drug
she rises to face a days racing with
its concOmitant betting. Her break
fast inadequate, probably supplement
ed by brandy or whisky and soda;
luncheon indigestible, savory but un-
healthful bonnes bouches. liberal po-
tations of champagne or, more likely,
recourse to familiar brandy or whisky
peg; a rush home, further pandering
to morbid appetite, more champagne,
later perhaps a dance or many hours
devoted to inevitable bridge, again
brandy or whisky and soda, then bed
with sulphonal, trional, morphia or
some equally noxious drug.
what wonder that there is no time
no disposition, for domestic duties, no
care for the family life that erst was
the backbone of England! Physical
and moral degeneration is the inevi-
table result

Summary Court was held at the
Armory last night by Colonel William
y. Barber. at which the case of Claude
N. Gorgas, private. Company +, F,charg-
ed with non attendance at drills. was
finally disposed Of.
Gorgas failed to appear at Summary
eou rt held at Canville on May lst, but
was arrested on Saturday. He was in
duranoe for short time. but on tax
ing all the circumstances into consid.
GRAFTON he was released on his own re-
ooRnizance to appear last night.
He kept his word and presented him
self before Colonel Barber at the hour
designated.
Colonel Barber was disposed to be
lenient but the offense was one that
calls for punishment. The very best
that could be done for private Gorgas
under the circumstances was to impose
q fine of Ave dollars. Colonel Barber
gave Gorgas 90 days in which to pay
the money.

HOBOES INVADE
SOUTH DANVILLE

A gang OF hohoes made their appear.
ance in South Danville yesterday morn
ing and threatened to cause trouble by
their insolent conduct. 1t was not
known how the fellows might behave
during the night and the citizens last
evening were preparing to remain on
the alert during the night.
The hoboes evidently know that
South Danville is without policemen.
Should they go a little too far, how
ever, they may learn that the citizens
are thoroughly capable Of taking care
of themselves.

went to bed.a few seconds later flames
were discovered issuing from the up
per part of the structure and tefore q
general alarm could be sounded the
building was like roaring furnace.

ed narrow escapes in an effort to res.
cue Belts and two valuable horses,
which were roasted to death.

CHERRIES ARE
GETTING RIPE

A fine branch of ripe cherries were
left at this office yesterday. which un-
dou btedly enjoy the distinction of be-
ing the first Of the season. The cher.
ries grew on the premises of Alfred
Mellin. Slider Hill. and were brought
down to the News office by mail car
rier hurley Meyer. The cherries are
of the red sweet variety and have a
delicious flavor.
AT most places the cherries are only
beginning to ripen. The crop accord
ing to present indications will be a
fairly large one. At places the trees
this year bear very poorly, but on a
long drive over the country one sees
an Abundance of ripening cherries.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 3l.-A
long report giving an account in de-
tail of the part taken by the cruiser
Almaza and the torpedo boat destroy
er Crozuy in the recent naval battle
has reached here from Vladivostok,
where the two warships arrived yes
terday after escaping from the pursu-
ing Japanese.
The officers of the two vessels could
not give definite report as to the out
come of the great battle because, act
ing under orders they separated from
the main feet on Saturday before the
end of same. The officers say enough
however to know that the Russian YES
sells suffered heavily.
The officers of the A lmaza made the
statement that before the fog shut out
the view Of the battle they saw two of
the Japanese battleships sink and two
cruisers seemed ready to plunge to the
bottom.
The blow which destroyed the Kniaz
Suvar fl, the officers believe was de-
livered by submarine, or else the
vesse struck a mine. She sank with
in few moments after she was struck.

The patient was girl, twenty-five
years of age. She suffered from some
anection that may have been menin-

She then developed acute maniacal ex-
citation. During this illness the pa
tient presented some remarkable
changes Of personality - such as are
seen in hysteria. The author does not
term the curious manifestations by
this name, but describes some nine or
more different varieties of personality
manifested by the patient that are
quite interesting. Thus the patient had
spells of blindness, deafness, paralysis,
etc. The most interesting of these
manifestations, because the least easy
to explain, was the patients ability to
draw the full figure of nurse, etc,
during her spell of blindness. To con-
vince himself that this was the actual
case the author held book between
the patients eyes and the sheet of
paper on which she was drawing or put
his hands before her eyes while she
was drawing without in any way inter-
