Geua mnd superBtition.

There are many superstitions con- nected with precious stones, which are considered by credulous persons to be actual attributes of various gems. IL is believed, for instance, that & young girl who wears an amethyst has an amulet preventing folly and flightiness, or. should she display a sapphire, she will be proof against the most insidious wiles of deceltful suitors. If she wears a ruby she has a charm against rheu- matism and kindred diseases and a prompter to vivacity and fasoination of manner. Failing the ruby, the car buncIe and the garnet will exert a similar influence. In the turquoise the wearer has a talisman for self pos session. The pretty blue gem Will en- able her to think clearly and keep her presence of mind in the most trying circumstances. Emeralds are valued as a spur to ambition and promote the spirit of leadership.

Touart Brinxs suit.

Charging that 1t was on account of negligence of employees that he re- ceived injuries, Richard Touart, a Creole, has brought suit in the Circuit Court against the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad in the sarn of s1o,000 for the loss of both legs. Some weeks ago Touart was going from his home to that of relative and to reach the lat- ter place 1t was necessary for him to cross the tracks of the company. In doing so he was struck by an engine and knocked down, the wheels passing over both legs and so mangling them that amputation was necessary. Tou- art is a tailor and claims that had the proper precautions been exercised by the employees of the comapny he would not have been run over by the engine.

Smoke the War Izing---the Best in the market at @ROHH."

Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, has demonstrated how different modes of treatment will have different effects on apples, and he holds that the same is true of men. By way of illustration he tells of a good-natured fellow who had a shrewish wife. One morning after abusing him roundly, she drove him to work without his breakfast. While on his way downtown In q street car he heard a sour-looking woman dis pute with the conductor regarding her fare. At length she said: 'Ts there gentleman in this car who will stand up and see @ lady insulted% The hun gry man whose nature had been spoiled rose eagerly. Yes, madam" he said, q will"

 When Maude Adams takes Peter Pan" to your city, 1t will contain a whimsicaIity suggested to Barrie by Frohman.
 Why not show the mermaids whom Peter mentioned to his comradesl So now the fairy boy takes his colonists of Neverland to Marooners' Rock, in Mer- maids Lagoon, to see some of the fishtalI maidens. It is a moonlight night, the lagoon Is tropically lovely, and, sure enough, we are made to be- lleve in the existence of mermaids; for a lot of them are lazinE gracefully around with their fishy ends in the translucent water and their gtrly ends in the ambient air.
 Another interesting exhibit, although less sensuous, and hitherto heard but not seen, is a crocodile, who has swal- lowed a clock, and has to go about ticking a warning of his approach. But he isn't a fellow of ferocious inten- tions, after all, for when Peter Pan has a fight for life with the piratical Captain Hook, on Marooners' Rock, the monster with clockwork in'ards swims into the lagoon, saves the life of the boy who lives without growing up.

 Another piece of evidence was un- earthed by the detectives working on the case of the murder early on Christmas morning of John McKenzie. the white plumber who was found lying in a ditch with his throat cut from ear to ear, which binds still closer the network of evidence about Walter Clayton, the negro who Is in jail charged with the crime.
 The officers went out to Whistler this morning, and made an examination of Claytons box at the place where he stayed there while working as a cook, and found a pair of pants which it is believed that he wore on the morning Of the murder, with small spots of blood all over them. A hat with blood stains on the band was also discovered.
 Willie Lewis, the white man who was held on suspicion in connection with the crime, largely because of his con- nection with a disreputable gang that infests the neighborhood where tho crime was committed. was turned free yesterday
 Charles Barrett. the white painted who was also held on suspicion, has also been released from custody. This leaves the negro Clayton the only per- son under arrest, but from the evil dence that has so far been secured, the police are confident the right man has been secured. and the same feeling is entertained by others who have fol- lowed the developments.

 into mirror, and a lined, hardened face confronts you. Can 1t be yoursR My God, it is. You have, so far as you know, had Rip Van Wrinkle sleep. ex- cept that as a double of yourself. you have been wide awake, and living a life that is now plotted from your memory. Have made 1t clear that the idea of an aphasia play hasn't been lost by not putting it into some form of farce, but saved by utilizing 1t in a serious drama. Neither dc Vries nor Roberts has the genius for great work in the writing or the acting, and they don't make "The Double Life" such memorable, achievement as say, Irving and Ibsen might have accomplished; but they have disclosed the haunting ly singular play of the year, no matter what the populace may think of it.
 Maude Adams and May Irwin give new acts to us in Peter Pan" and Mrs. wilson, That's All.". And Miss Irwin has, moreover, changed the title of her Robart comedy to Mrs. Wilson-An- drsws" Thereby hangs a tale that makes me hang my head. and kow-tow in apologetic obeisance to the actress. In my account of the play, I mention ed '"Thats All" portion of its name as
 
 meut of a brand of whiskeyl in connec- ton with which the two words had been emblazoned on the biliboards of the land. Knowing the processes of the wine agents in getting their cham pagnes quoted in Broadway shows, l didn't doubt that Miss Irwin could make rye highballs and whiskey cock tails to numerous friends this season with no cost to herself, or for edible snacks to go alongside. But the that's all distillers threatened law suit against the thats-all infringement of trademark rights, and guess the cOmedienne was as astonished as I. So I saIaam to merry May, and that's all.
 The new act in Mrs. Wilson-An- drews" seems to be made up of jokes that have come to the author and the actress during the comedy's months here. I characterized 1t at the outset as the grAltest one-horse show since Dan Rice's. as 1t was to considerable extent a monologue for the humoris- tic May; but she hasn't been content. or pleased, with my award of the first prize for being whole show In herself. She has taken the last act away from the city flat in which the two others remain, and located it on country lawn, where she sets a bevy of girls and fellows singing and dancing. Be- sides behaving like jolly hostess to them, she makes the audience feel that they are welcome guests. I don't wish to be commercial again in my estimate
