THIRD RUSSIAN DUMA
First Session Of New Body Held

peror's Greeting, Otherwise tho Pro.
ceedIngs Are Harmonious.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 1.-THE third
Russian parliament was opened IN the
Tauride palace, in the presence OF
Premier stolypin and the cabinet, by
M. Golubeff, vice president of the
council Of the empire. The religious
service preceding the opening was
conducted by the metropolitan Anto-
MUS and large number of bishops
and other high ecclesiastics and was
made the occasion for great display
of patriotic enthusiasm on the part Of
the Conservative and Moderate mem
bers. The emperor was vigorously
cheered.
{. The city is perfectly quiet. A few
hundred students gathered in the vi
entity of the palace, but they did not
esIIOAuPC W AAohC d NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
A score of mounted patrols on the
quays and in the principal thorough
fares were more than sufficient to
preserve order. The only discordant
note was struck by the Social Demo
Gratis, who remained in the committee
room during the reading of the en-
peror's greeting and entered the main
hall only when it was necessary to
sign the oath. The Constitutional
Democrats showed no marked enthusi-
asm in singing the national hymn or
in the cheering, but otherwise they
participated decorously in the pro.
ceedings.
M. Khomyakoff, Octoberist, was
elected president of the house, receiv-
ing 81 votes on the first ballot.
Count Bobrinsky, Conservative, re,
ceived 2 votes and M. Golovin, Con-
stitutional Democrat, ex-president of
the second parliament, vote.
The election was the result of an
agreement between the Octoberists
and Conservatives, the latter voting
for M. Khomyakoff in return for a
promise Of one of the vice presiden-
cfes and two other Offices.

A SECOND YELLOWSTONE.
Rainier Park to Rival the Famous
Wyoming Reserve.

When the Rainier National park is
again opened to the public next sum-
,mer it will be enhanced by hundreds
of new features and beautiful to a
larger extent than ever before. The
government is building a series Of
new roadways, trails and paths that
will lead to wonderful scenery here
tofore unscanned by the tourist.
1t is estimated that when the sea-
son of 1908 is closed, Rainier Nation
al park will rank close to Yellowstone
in point Of scenery with the possible
exception of the geysers asserts one
report. The new government road t.
Paradise valley, with a two per cent
grade, will be an excellent means of
access to a grand view of the glaciers
and magnificent canyon scenes that
will equal that of Yellowstone canyon
while many new falls have been dis
covered and trails will be built to
reach them.
1t is the purpose Of superintendent
G. F. Allen to place Rainier in the
front rank Of national parks and ex-
tens've plans are being outlined with
that end in view. Government off,
GERS are in the park on the search
for new freaks Of nature, surveying
new trails to heretofore difficult pas
sages, and new buildings, rustic
bridges, summer houses and resting
benches also will be added. Flowers
and other decorations will add beauty
to the hotel grounds at Longmire
springs, and new attractions will be
secured for the benefit of the travel
ing public.

onet. recently deceased. According to
Henry ]. Solomon, a prominent Kan
sas City attorney, once retained by
man who represented himself to be
Genille Cave, the latter is somewhere
in the west, probably in Kansas, says
a Kansas City item. The last heard
from him, a year ago, he was bound
for that state to become a cowboy.
Genille Cave-Browne Cave, accord
ing to the story he told his attorney
here, was born in Leicester. England,
in 1869. He did some act 10 displease
his parents, who disowned him, and
he then began a series of wanderings
th't had carried him through various
countries.
lie arrived in Kansas City two
years ago Here he was known as
Gen" Cave and he worked as a side
walk builder. Soon after his arrival
here, he retained Attorney Solomon
to aid him in renewing the relations
with his parents. No letters were
written to the father because he was
believed to be unylelding. When
Genille Cave-Browne Cave failed to
effect a reconciliation, he left Kansas
City saying he was going to Kan
sas to become a cowboy.
Yesterday Attorney Solomon said
he had just heard OF the death Of
Sir Mylles ve-Browne Cave and
had set about to locate the supposed
son and heir. He said the latter had
returned to Kansas City a year ago
and visited him, saying he had been
living at Clement, Kan. but that he

Maybe before long the efficacy OF
charms that are popularly associated
with precious stones will be reeog-
nized and placed on scientific oa-
sis. This is the opinion Of George
H. Bratley. an English writer, VINO
has been making an extensive study
of the subject lately, says the Detroit
News.
Whether one be inclined to agree
with him as to the logic of this con-
clusion or not, It is certain that most
people from a poetic point Of view
would prefer to regard these things
in the light Of superstitution-that
connecting link between the present
and the remote past, which all ages
and countries, makes different
branches Of the human race akin.
But no matter whether science can
explain It or not, the fact is that
superstition concerning gems is rife
today-more so than one would sup
pose.
Lord Bacon believed that "plan-
ct seal" would obtain the affections
of ones sweetheart; the czar Of Rus
sia wears a ring which is believed
TO be a piece Of the real cross Of Cal
vary. to protect him from physical
Ills; King Alphonso Of Spain was
showing a sequin-a Turkish coin
which he always carries-to Presi-
dent Faure, when, in Paris, the at
tempt Of an assassin on his life was
unsuccessful.
So why shouldn't common folks
have their superst tions? And Of all
the old-tne superstitions that sur
yiye. those relating TO precious stones
are the most persistent
Temperance societies some day may
buy up the supply Of amethysts and
present them to habitual tipplers;
for according to the superstition that
has been brought down through the
ages, with modern variations, this
stone banishes all desire for strong
drink
Yet in this the societies might
make bad bargain, for, possibly, II is

of the desire to drink, as that It per-
mits one to drink all he desires with
out feeling any I'll effects
This isn't a modern whim. The
Greeks thought the amethyst possess
ed a charm for counteracting the ef-
fects Of wine; and in Christian coun-
tries It has even been an emblem Of
sobriety and chastity-so much 50
that it is set In the ring Of bishops in
the Catholic church.
