Washington, Dec THE return of General
Clarence Edwards to Washington in restored
health has filed the hearts of hundreds of dis
fouraged soldiers and sailors with renewed hope.
General Edwards left the capital less than 4
year ago victim of tuberculosis. Fort Bayard,
the army sanatorium for consumptives, in New
Mexico, was his destination. and his return so
soon with his grip on life renewed is a tribute
to the healing power OF that desert refuge if
visited in time. Perched at an altitude of 5000
feet above sea level planted in the middle of the
alkali plateau. with the beating down upon
the parched roofs of the little group of houses
for more than 300 days OF the year, Fort Bayard
would seem anything but health resort Yet
its record OF cures is little short of the miracu
lous. and with the structures that are in

SYMBOLIC BREAD.
Or1g1n of Shapes of PretzeLs, Cr
Buns and Certain Cakes.

Who would think of the pretzel as an astro-i
nomical symbol or the hot cross bun as a mis-
sionary document? Yet it is said that originally y
the one was intended TO represent the sun an y
the four seasons and the other to convert rasin'
England to Christianity. The former is declared
to have been first made by the Romans Who
called it the annu-Us-a word they are said to-
have formed out of annus, a yearly which
they meant year-ring. The ring represented
the SUMS annual circuit and the four spokes the
seasons. 1t was afterward known under other
names in the more northerly countries Of
Europe. There are two stories Of the origin If
the hot cross bun The Christian missionaries
to England are said TO have discovered that. al
though they could alter the views Of the ra,r1a
on religious matters, they could not induce tbs-l
to abandon their time honored PAGAN customs
One of these was the eating OF a certain kind
of cake in honor of the Goddess of Spring. They
decided to put the sign of the cross on the Saxon
buns and launch them forth on a missionary
enterprise. The buns accomplished their mis-
sion.
The other story is that in early times in the
observance of Holy Week the Church was more
strict in the matter of fasts than ROW. Only
certain amount OF food could be eaten This was
indicated by two boundary marks made in the

to hold themselves, until Friday, in
readiness to protect Commander
Johnson, under sentence Of death. The
order of the Governor is understood to

here to-day to bring Commander
Johnson from the Marion County Jail,
where he has been kept during the
greater part Of his imprisonment. lie

O'Clock.
This town and surrounding coun-
try have as yet shown absolutely no
interest in the hanging of johnson. 1t
is talked about ON the street casually,
but not the least trouble is expected
with matters remaining rs they now
are. Several gentlemen are displaying
Il sentimental interest in the carrying
out of capital sentence, as they
would in any ease. Johnson's attor-
ncy, Mr.. B. Wofford Wait, left on
to-day's train TO meet several persons
in Marion, and he will present an
appeal and petition to the Governor,

bring that price if the obligations of

New York Dry Goods District.
4. \

Letter to the Philadelphia Public Led
ger.
The removal this week of one of the
largest retail stores in the city from
the 9th aveune shopping district to
5th avenue location, has revived
the question whether the famous 9th
avenue district is to lose it's prc-cmin-
ence by the march uptown. Within It
radius of five blocks from the corner
of 18th street and 9th avenue between
$40 100000 and $S0,000,000 worth Of
dry goods are sold every year. The
stores in that radius advertise be-
tween $2.000,000 and $3,000.000 an
nually. Three hundred and fifty
thousand persons come to New York
as transient visitors every day, and
the shoppers among them seek 9th
avenue inevitably. No ohter city in
the world has district in which so
much retail business is concentrated.
1t is estimated that 100000 persons
come to 9th avenue, between 18th
and 23d streets, every day, and in the
busy season this number is doubled.
They have been coming for forty
years in constantly increasing num-
hers. Seven large stores and many
small ones do business in this dis
trict. Some Of the great stores have
moved uptown, but within the last
half dozen years one large new store
has been built and two others have
been rebuilt and enlarged. In view
Of all this it does not seem probable
that the removal of any one store
however large, can materially affect
the Importance of this section as a
shopping center.
