The Doom of LonSon.


The question, What will be the
doom of LOndon?' seems a not unrea-
sonable one. What will be the end of
the great city? What will bring about
the ruin over which Macaulay's New
Zealander is to cast his moralizing eye?
Several answers may be given. The
destruction of London at the hands of
Il victorious invader is possible, but ex-
tremely improbable. London may be
besieged, even bombarded; she cannot
be destroyed.
Flood? This again may be dismissed
as most improbable, and one calamity
only remains to be considered, namely
fire.
Now London has suffered more than
once terribly from this cause, and in
1866 the city was practically wiped
out. Every one knows this. But it is
not every one who knows that the
great confagration was predicted fiji
teen years before by Lilly, the astrolo-
ger, and by another astrologer, Nos
tradamus, century before that. Nos
tradamus cast his prediction in q
French quatrain, the gist Of which was
that in 1866 London would be visited
by conf1agration which would destroy
ST. Paul's and eighty-nine other
churches. Saturday Journal.
Verdi and the Priest.
Verdi when a boy had a, gift fol-
Latin, and the village priest advised
him to become a priest. Meanwhile
the lad became an Office boy in Barez
zi's wholesale grocery store and for 6
little over 81 a year played the organ
in the church at Roncole, but one day
| itehappened that Rev. DIR. Seletti, who
had decided that the boy should be {
monk, was officiating at mass while
Verdi played the organ. The prizes
was struck with the unusual beauty o.
the music and at the close of the serv
ice expressed a desire to see the organ
list. Verdi appeared, and the prizes
recognized him as the pupil whom h
had sought to turn from music to the
ology.
''Whose music were you playing?'
asked Seletti. 1T was beautiful
Verdi said shyly that he had brough
no music with him that day and hat
been improvising. $50 I played as
felt" said he.

Wizards Warning.

The traditions connected with the
historical residences of the British aris-
tocracy are many and varied, but none
perhaps is more curious than that re-
lated about Yester, the Scottish home
of Lord and Lady Tweeddale. The
old castle-now a picturesque ruin-re-
ferred to by Sir Walter Scott in Mar
mion," contained a wonderful vaulted
hall, which Hugh Clifford, the magi-
clan, is said to have erected with one
stroke of his wand. But it was not a
case of ''easy come, easy CO." and the
wizard solemnly vowed that any man
who attempted to tamper with the fair
building should die swiftly and violent
ly. The old tradition was recalled
when the present Lord Tweeddale ;
eldest brother, Lord Clifford. was
crushed to death by falling tree. A

clearing operations that interfered with

Explosives Under Front Porch.

An attempt was made recently to dynamite the home of Ashley Cock rill prominent attorney and poli- t.cian of Little Rock Two sticks of giant powder were placed on the porch of his residence, 1907 Broadway. in such a position that their explo- sion would have blown in two adja. cent walls and almost certainly de stroyed the entire family. Dampness in the air extinguished the fuse and prevented a catastrophe. The fuse ol the sticks was burned for an inch or more The charred match which had been used to ignite them lay near. This is the common lucifer kind and affords no clue upon which the po- lice can work. MT. Cockrill was ab. sent from home until nearly 12 o'clock on the night in question. He does not think the sticks Of dyna- mite had been placed in the position in which they were found when he re- turned home. This leads the authori- ties to suppose that the criminal was watching the movements of MT. Cock Till. and did not light the fuse until certain that the intended victim had returned. The sticks were what IS known as 60-pound pressure dynamite that is they would not explode from an impact of less than 50 pounds force. The caps were 60pound caps and would have set off the explosion.

MAY NEED SOLDIERS
Gov. Blanchard Notifies Louisiana State Guard to Prepare for Ser
 vice.

New Orleans. June.-The state mi litia was notified Monday by Governor Blanchard to hold itself i'll instant readiness to protect the Italians ar rested in the Eamana kidnapping ease. This order was issued because the prisoners will probably be transfer red in few days from the New Or leans parish prison, where they are considered safe, to St Charles parish, where the boy was killed, and where the trials must be held This parish is an entirely rural community Hith small police protection, and within such short distance of New Orleans that mobs from this city could reach there in two hours. It Is also expect ed that escorts will be needed if the police arrest any of the four Italians still al large who are charged with the murder by those now under arrest.
 Although in the city the excite ment has entirely subsided yet the temper of the crowds was shown when about 100 men formed and made tin cats at the United States custom house against an Italian. whose name closely resembled that of one of the murderer suspects, and who was being quizzed by a police officer.
 Up to Monday night 15 prisoners have been placed in the Orleans par ish, three of them women. The state will attempt to charge conspiracy in the murder against about half of those under arrest and the murder itself against one of them. During the day two prisoners whose safety was fear. ed fer in a neighBering parish jail were brought to New Orleans, where all the suspected Italians are separat' ed from any hostile crowds which might gather by five gates of two-inch steel bars. and also by a protecting wall
 In addition to his order to the state militia Governor Blanchard took steps to have special session of court in St Charles parish to try the combin- cd kidnapping and murder charges.

THE REoRGANIZED NEW YORK
 LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

The new Board of Trustees of the
 New York Life Insurance Company. chosen by the policyholders under the Armstrong laws, has taken charge of the coapany's affairs and has begun the work of reorganization.
 In choosing the principal officers of the company. the Board has adhered to the idea that a life insurance com
 pany should be managed by life in-
 surance men. The new president is
 Darwin P Kingsley, 8 college pred
 man of good New England stock, who
 has been in the company's service in
 variety of capacities for a period of
 nearly twenty years. In the parlance
 of life insurance, he began with the
 rate book" and has advanced step by step up to his present position.
 The first vice president of the com pany is Thomas A. Buckner. who has
 served the company for more than a
 quarter of q century,-indeed has
 never had any other business connec-
 tion.
 Associated with these men are | others long trained in the company's service, each an expert in his own de-
 partment of work. Wns. F. Ingersoll,
 who has for many years had charge
 of the company's great business in Europe, is one of the second vice pres idents, and will continue at the head | of the company's office in Paris. Rufus W. Weeks, who has been in the companys service for nearly forty years, ranks next to Mr. Buckner as vice president, and continuous as chief actuary of the company.
 The policyholders have expressed their belief in this company in no un- certain terms. The upheaval in life in surance within the last two years has resulted in q great deal of misunder. standing and policyholders, alarmed on | matters which were net very clear to l them, have been disposed to give up | their contracts at heavy sacrifice. 1 This has not been true in the New York l Life to any great extent. The com | pany had g 100000 insurance on l it's books when the life insurance in- vestigation began and while the laws of the State of New York now do not
 permit any company to write over l $50. 100000 a year (which is about one-half the New York Life formerly didl, the companys outstanding busi-
 ness still exceeds $2,000, 100000 Policyholders generally will be still | further treasured by this action of the Board, as it places at the. head of the | company to protect their interests men
 of thorough training and unexception- | able character

State Capital Notes

Little Roek-The question as to whether the work of construction
 shall continue on the new state capitol Is being freely q scussed. The
 members of the commission appear 10 he in a quandary as to whether they can go ahead with the work
 after the original appropriation of Sl,000,000 for the construction of the capitol is exhausted. It was expected
 when the bill passed the legislature in 1903 that the cost of the building
 would not go over the milion-dollar limit. Some of the commissioners are of the opinion that when the million dollars shall have been spent their hands will be tied and that the work on the building must cease For this reason they instructed the contractors
 to roof the building and put in win dows as soon as possible. This was done for the purpose of preventing
 the disintegration of much of the
 work which would necessarily entail
 upon the state a great and useless expence. The question has been re. ferred to Attorney General Kirby, and
 the commission will abide by his dieision II the attorney general an swers in the affirmative there will be ample money to finish the Caldwell
 X Drake contract. with the exception of building the copper dome which
 the commission has decided not to
 build. There is now in the capital fund Sl05,000 In July it will receive
 s149000 and in July of next year s145,000, a total of S390, 900. In any event, however, the commission would
 not expend all of this money because with the expediture of s170,o00 in ad= dition to the s1,000000 the Caldwell X Drake contract would be completed with the exception of the dome, and
 the commission has no authority to
 do any work except that already con
 traeted for This S170,000 would be spent, In the main, for floors, tiling. doors. woodwork, and ether interior fnishings If the attorney general de
 cides that the commission cannot spend more than s1 900 ,000 the capi.
 tai cannot be made ready for occu-
 pancy within the next two years. and Caldwell & Drake's contract cannot be wholly completed, as the eemmiss on will have no authority 10 draw OH that money in excess of total ef S1 GOO Ooo

DOCTORS FOOD TALK
Selection of Food One of the Most In-

A Mass. doctor says: Our health and physical and mental happiness are so largely under our personal con- trol that the proper selection of food should be, and is one of the most i'm portant acts in life.
 On this subject, I may say that I know of no food equal in digestibility, and more powerful in point of nutri- ment, than the modern Grape Nuts, four heaping teaspoons of which is suf. ficient for the cereal part of a meal. and experience demonstrates that the user is perfectly nourished from one meal to another.
 '1 am convinced that the extensive and general use of high class foods of this character would increase the term of human life. add to the sum total of happiness and very considerably i'm prove society in general. I am free to mention the food, for l personally know of its value"
 Grape-Nuts food can be used by babes in arms, or adults. It is ready cooked, can be served instantly, either cold with cream, or with hot water or hot milk poured over. All sorts of buildings and fancy dishes can be made with Grape-Nuts. The food is concentrated and very economical, for four heaping teaspoons are suffi- cient for the cereal part of meal.
