PERFUMES OF THE EAST.
The Crusaders Brought Them From
the Holy Land to Europe.

The Crusaders Brought Them From
the Holy Land to Europe.
During the dark ages and in early
medieval times perfumes, with the ex-
ception of incense for ecclesiastical use
were almost unknown, and the rude
Saxon thames and Norman barons and
their spouses were quite content witt
the smell Of wood fires and huge
masses Of rOC.t Or seethed meat and
were not at all solicitous to enjoy the
pleasure OF sweet Odors. 1t seems te
have been the crusaders who brought
from the Holy Land into western Eu-
rope the perfumes for which the east
has from tine immemOrial been re-
nOWned. The original home of per-
fumes was either China or Egypt. In
the last nameI century the priests of
the temple Of Heliopolis used to offer
every day to their divinity three kinds
or perfumes, one in the morning. one
at noon and the third at night, the last
being scent composed of sixteen in
gradients, forming an ensemble called
kaphi. The universally of perfumes in
ancient Gresce is known to every one
who remembers the delightful descrip-
tons Of the psrfumed baths of Roman
ladies in BuIwcr's Last Days of Pom
peii," and from Hellas the use of per-
fumery spread to Rome, where, under
the empire, almost every object was
scented.
Even the standards of the legions
were perfunlnG, and the velarium of
the Coliseum when the emperor was
present was dosted with aromatic pow
ders. The successive invasions Of the
barbarians led to the shutting up of the
perfumers' shops with which the Eter-
nal City had nbounded, and until the
time Of the Renaissance perfumery in |
Italy was only vended by a few apoth- |
ecaries. It's use, however, had not died |
out in COnstantinople, and at the fall |
Of the Greek empire the Byzantine |
Greeks found that their Turkish con-
querors were as passionately fond Of |
perfumery as they themselves were
Sweet essences for secular use were |
first made an article of trade in France /
by one Rene or Rinaldo a Florentine,
who came to Paris in the suit of Cath
crime de Medicis, to whom the French
people likewise owe the introduction OF
confectionery and if malevolent rumor
is to be credite: the confection of at
least half a dozen subtle poisons.

WITH FAKE EXPRESS pACkAGE GAME

The news received by the Northern
Pacific railway yesterday that c. F..
Kelly, alias c. J. Coin, had been con-
victed, at Bellingham, Wash, of hav-
ing deposited in the bank of Blaine,
Wash, forged draft for $1,000, and
had been sentenced to eight years i'm
prisonment in the Walla Walla state
penitentiary, is believed to have
cleared up a mysterious robbery,
through which, last October, the
Northern Pacific express company
seemed likely to lose no less than
$4,000, says a st. Paul dispatch.
The money, as the railroad officers now
declare, was never lost, but it was
claimed from the Express company
by the same c. F. Kelly, who is al
ready a convict in the Walla Walla
penitentiary.
Mr.. Kelly will be remembered To-
board of the Order of Railway Tele-
graphers during the early part of the
strike last summer on the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern system.
Before the strike ended, however he
was expelled from the committee and
from the o. R., T.
He had been a telegrapher for some
yea on western division of the
Northern Pacific. When the strike
began, he was division chairman of the
o. r. T., with headquarters at Mis-
soula He was soon called to ST. Paul
After the strike was declared off,
Kelly was not reinstated. But a few
weeks later he told his Missoula
lieve him independent of labor orga-
nizations and of railroads. He said
that many months earlier, he had ac-
cidentally met, at Dixon station, Mon
tana, an old friend who was on mis-
way to the mines at Goldfields Nevada
Kelly, as he related, gave the friend
$3.50 to invest in promising claims
Nothing was heard from the friend I'M
til, just before Kelly became confiden-
tial, he received word, as he said, that
the $3.50 had been multiplied with re-
suits quite Monte Christie The friend
would remit soon.
Several days later Mr.. Kelly re-
ceived from Salt Lake City, an express
package marked as containing $4,000
in currency. Mr.. Kelly told of his
good fortune, distributed cigars, and
| carried the package home. He told
everybody, that is, except his wife;
and he did not deposit his new fortune
in any Missoula bank
After a week of more another ex-
press package arrived from Salt Lake
City. 1t contained, according to en-
dorsement, only $4,000; but it was
considered by Mr. Kelly sufficient
grounds for distributing more cigars
and accepting more congratulations
Yet again he did not tell mis- wife, and
he showed no further evidence of faith
in local banks

big "wad'' of Chicago papers. The
express company. notified of their ap-
parent loss, demanded the newspapers
for examination. After they reached
ST. Paul they were more carefully In
spected. Down among the old Chica-
go papers were discovered two scraps
from Missoula dailies dated about Oc-
tober 1.
On inquiring, the express company
learned that Mr.. Kelly never showed
any one the wealth ne had obtained,
except so far as it might be judged
from the two bills exhibited to the
Hamilton agent He did not even no.
tify Harris & Co., that he would ship
a large sum to them, and he failed to
accompany mis- remittance with a letter
of instruction. His miner friend in
Utah could not be located.
That is to say, in the opinion of the
express company he never shipped
$14,S00 to New York, or any money
whatsoever.
No Claim for Refund.
This opinion was strengthened as
the days slipped by and Kelly failed
to make any formal claim for the re-
fund of the little fortune that he pre-
sumably had lost through the negli-
gence of the express company.
And now that the same Kelly, as is
alleged, has been convicted of another
attempt to obtain money by fraud, the
Northern Pacific mas ceased to carry
$14,S00 as a possible liability.

Shipped Apparent Wealth.

On October 6, however, he went up to
Hamilton, Mont, a little station near
Missoula- At this station Kelly had
once been employed. He knew the
agent. He was acquainted with the
agents Objects arrangement and
furniture. He dropped in early one
morning and announced that he was
about to send some money to New
York. He showed a fat package con-
sisting of a small tin box, on the top
of which appeared several $40 bills.
When the agent was across the room
Kelly finished Wrapping the package.
He addressed it to IN W. Harris &
Co., Bankers and Brokers. New York "
He declared the contents of the pack
age as currency and the value as
$14.S00-the exact sum he had re-
ceived from Salt Lake City.
He got receipt for the package,
which was duly shipped east in the
train that arrived within half an hour.
But when the package was opened
in New York it contained nothing but

Law Badly MangIed.

TRENTON, Feb. 19:-Although
present session of the Legislature the

'ect a mistake in the passage of a
NV. Senator Hillery introduced
early in the session senate bill No. 4
o overcome the complication caused
~ merging of the spring elections in

The enacting of the merger law in
1905 caused a miX-up in the legal re-
luirement for the swearing in of the

)oroughs. Under the old law they
we're 10 take the oath within ten

'lected in November, the oath could

lay requirement had not been repeal

It passed both houses and Governor

It was rushed through both houses
md now the discovery has been made
hat the measure Is probably uncOn-
titutional. Last week, therefore,
