sued, and explanation was made
that since IL had been indicated that

ORIGIN OF THE MAIDSTONE.

Exist In the Mysterious
Substance.

Where did the maidstone come
from? No one seems to know. 1t
does not belong to the mineral
kingdom, nor can it be assigned to
place in geological formations.
It's composition is not definite and
it may possibly be found upon any
beach or in any gravel pit, and
the supply is always equal to the
demand, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
There are even now many of
these precious talismans in this
country, and "the believers in
their efficacy always know where
the nearest is kept" One of them
has been the property of an Ohio
negro and was placed after the
death of the owner in the state Ii
brary at Columbus. There it was
recently applied to the wound
caused by the bite of supposedly
rabid dog. The dog recovered and
the woman to whom it was APP
piled died of blood-poisoning,
caused by the unclean contact.
Such a stone was kept in the
Virginia state penitentiary for
years and was open to all Corners
for application to the bite of mad
dog or other allied wounds. One
such perhaps the same) was at a
later date sold for 500.
Still more famous was that
brought from Russia in 1887 by a
physician of that country who set

been exploited in that country for
at least century and a half, a
fact supported by documentary
evidence. The document was writ.

a letter he had just received. "a

WHAT Is A CHURCH
 WITHOUT A STEEPLE?
The New Style Of Ecclesiastic Archi- lecture Which Has Come Into Play In New York.

New York, June 4.-tSpecial cores ! pondence of The Republican)-Some
 of the church structures recently built | in New York City indicate that the l old fashioned steeple is not popular
 with modern architects. The Madison l Square Presbyterian church. the pas | tor of which is the Rev. Dr. Charles | II. Parkhurst which has an immense | dome. Is an example of the new style ! of ecclesiastical architecture. Situated | at the corner of Madison Avenue and | Twenty-fourth street, it is one of a | group of the most striking buildings | in New York. TO the southwest. little ] more than a hundred yards away, is : the tall Flatiron; across Twenty ! fourth street is the Metropolitan Life. | one of the largest office buildings in | the world; two blocks to the north is 1 the Madison Square Garden: and across the square is the Fifth Avenue 1 Hotel. the old time rendezvous of Ma
 tional politicians.
 The church proper and the parish house are joined so as to form one structure. The exterior is of brick on a marble base. The floors and the | dome throughout, and the partitions in the parish house are made of terra
 ootta tile blocks. so that absolute safety from fire is assured. The cost of the church and parish house was S225,OOO.
 Another house of worship even
 stranger than pr. Parkhurst's is the
 Broadway Tabernacle (COngregation-
 alb at Broadway and Fifty-sixth street.
 IL has the appearance of a combination
 church and office building. It is also
 of the most modern fireproof construc-
 ton, being built of steel protected by
 hollow terra cotta blocks. It cost
 s350. 900.
 The Tabernacle has a tower. but
 not the sort commonly associated with churches. All of it is put to use. on its first floor are the Sunday school rooms. Between them and the belfry there Is room for all the activities of the church organization. Mission rooms and a ladies' parlor are on the third floor, the Young Mems Library on the fourth. the pastors study, re- ception room and church library on the fifth. the seXton's living quarters on the sixth and a museum on the sev- enth. Above that is the belfry. In the basement are tYo spacious halls for all sorts of gatherings.
 Far outstripping either of these in cost is the First Church of Christ Sci enlist. better known as the Christian Science church. at Central Park West and Ninetv-siNth street. One million three hundred thousand dollars was spent on this building, exclusive of the cost of the land. It is not accucratc to describe it definitely as a church, because it has an organization that treats the sick. weeping open seven days in the week. IL is said that 5000 persons come there for treatment from the Christian Science practitioners ev- cry year.

The officer could not bring himself to believe that Sonoqui Was contemplating such a gen eral cIean-up as his laundry bag indi- cated. so he put the clothing in the marshars office and the Mexican in jail. Sonoqui said he found it in 9 garbage heap. but the sUppOsition is that some one left it at the Berryhill corner to be sent out on the Indian school car Saturday night. and that il had been overlooked or forgotten by the person intended to receive the laundry for distribution.

BUYING OF STOCKS

 Do Not Come Easy.
BETTER SENTIMENT HOLDS

New York, August 2s.-The buying of stocks which advanced prices today came very largely from professional operators left short by preceding bear operations during the period of declining prices.
 The advance was helped on by another element among the professionals, which sought a profit out of the necessities of their fellow traders who were short The market was, In that sense, narrow and professional, and 1t was not a commonly held opinion that there was any large amount of buying of stocks by large in- vestors or by speculators of the class which makes the tone of markets. New ertheless, the movement was regarded as strong evidence of a betterment in finan- cial sentiment. Not so much the volume and the character of the buying as the significant subsistence of the selling was considered.
 Without any notable event to mark a change in conditions the professional traders, whose occupation it is to feel the pulse of the market and to ascertain its lines of least resistance, find that prices no longer yield easily or without meeting some commensurate demand in recessions. Considerable advances in bids are requisite to secure needed supply by the uncovered shorts as witnessed in todays advances but there Is no wide agreement as to the extent of the still uncovered short interest and the corre- spending further advance in prices which their demands may cause, but there is very general agreement in the conviction that any substantial demand for stocks which may have been in evidence at the low levels is not prepared to follow immediately a precipitate advance.
 The betterment in sentiment is still confined to the feeling that the causes of active weakness have been relievd.
 More cheerful views of the financial outlook were held abroad also revival of investment buying of securities was reported there as well as here.
 There were weak spots in the bond market. Total sales par value s1,504,OOO. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Salvation Army Work.
e Editor of the Age-Herald,

To the Editor of the Age Herald
 It Is well known that the Salvation army has never attacked other religious bodies. We have worked in harmony with all and have kept to tho work of lifting up the fallen, but at this time am compelled to say a word in our own defense.
 people working under the name American Salvation army, has just lately come to town. They make the statement that we send money to England to keep up the work there. One of their men was soliciting a few days ago in the Brown-Marx building and stated to a doctor that we the Salvation army) sent 90 per cent of our money away and used the other 10 per cent. I verified this by calling on the doctor q will use the name if necessary who told me that this statement was surely made. I at once produced our cash book and proved this false.
 Then new trouble arose this morning l was informed by the teller of a local bank that a check was cashed made out in the name of the captain of this Amer ican Salvation army, but when the donor | was informed that the Salvation army did not get 1t he was disappointed and indignant. We verified this statement by calling on him this morning and can use hs name if necessary.
 In every place our supporters are com blaming of being deceived. Of course if the good people of Birmingham know that they are an organization that has bot &4 la x.,ftI tha NId Salvation army and then choose to give we have nothing to say, but we resent being mlsrepresented by perfect strang CTS who are collecting for a work that does not exist in this city. At this time of the year we make an appeal for the local work-we call 1t our
 Harvest Festival-and not one penny will we send away, but through the thor ough canvass of these people we have to abandon this for a while and at a time when we are in need. We have waded through seas of hate, scorn, misrepresentation and prejudice to the public confidence, and this was not done, sir, without headaches and heart aches and penury; in spite of 1t all we have some of the most glorious institu- tions for the uplifting of the fallen the world has ever seen.
 The public will not see us sandered; !; we live a transparent life and our work is just as open. And we would be thank full if our friends would send us dona- tions payable to the Salvation army. Ev- cry appeal has met with a generous re- sponse and I am confident this one will also.
