TEHERAN. June 15.-The Persian

structed under the premiership OF
Mushir-es-Sultaneh. 1t is hoped that
this will lead to a subsistence OF the
political unrest In Persia.
The shah's sudden leaving town
and the means employed by him to, do

circles. Ii Is rumored the shah sent
all his jewels to Russia, and 1t is be-
lieved he intends to leave for that
country, and In order to mislead the
public has ordered Cossacks TO be
posted on the Resht road. but eventu-
ally intends to leave via Mazanderan
II Is further said that, as, according
TO the Turco-Mantchay treaty, Russia
is bound to support the Kajar dynasty
on the Persian throne, the shas in
tends to return with a Russian force
to suppress the present public move
ment.
Though these are suppositions, they

 Today.

Collinsville, May Especial )-The Collinsville high school is in the midst of it's commencement exercises.

bid for the school was in a 2 ,od sub scription, one-half of whic would have been paid on call and thlJ balance in 60 days if needed. The offer con- sisted of a house and furnishings to cost $13,000, one lot of land 5000, and 100 acres of land on Lookout mountain, and 5000 a year for three years 70 supplement state appropriation, with free water from a spring on Lookout mountain. The commission saw proper to locate the schoo at Ft. Payne. This did not dampen the ardor of our people. One week ago a mass meeting was held for the purpose of making the entire term of nine months a free school, and a committee was appointed to take the question in hand. They have within q week raised nearly $2000 for the pur- pose, and by the time their work is done it is expected that with the public money they will have between $2500 and 5000 with which to pay teachers and give to every boy and girl who comes free tuition.

 Tt of course just happened to be the case that the number of new corporations formed during the week ending today in the states of Georgia and Alabama was 29, but admirers of that mystic number can take cheer therefrom, and even those who do not share the popular superstl- tion will agree that it Is a case of '23 for business depression in this section when it is stated that the total minimum stock of these brand new business enter- prises aggregates the tidy sum of $6OS, ,0Oo. These new corporations represent industry and commerce In many of their phases, and show that the work of developing the resources of the two great southerh states is proceeding briskly

from New York, the fresh, ving. and
 unspoiled Rose, would brlr vast deal of comfort. But May F. Will kins Freeman knows vast deal more than most of us about some things. among them that the heart makes its own happiness; and The Shoulders oe Atlas, her new novel, is iha triumph
 of that knowledge. Life, true to it. self, runs straight into confusion.
 Rose falls in love with the village teacher, and Sylvia turns quite jealous
 wanting to keep Rose for herself, And there Is pretty, ln1' e-'' "ort of girl, who has passi " for Roses lover Then liaai ,.- man. in spite of his money, misses his shoe-shop, and Sylvia has something on her New England consclence--- something abouut Roses inheritance which she publicly and dramatically confesses at Roses wedding. And all this time nobody knows how the beautiful Miss Farrell cama to take the poison that killed her, and every body who guesses is wrong. The moral of the story as already indi- cated Is that each life has lts peculiar burden. There is no moralizlng, no preaching Freeman just tells the story. No doubt the general ver~ dict will be that Henry and Sylvia are the best drawn, most realistic characters with Rose, sweet, dainty, 1 petted, but unspoiled, charmingly pre- sented. Strikingly presented also is the effects of sudden wealth late in life upon Henry Whitman, whose life 1 had been one of already pathetic, al- most hopeless toiling, and upon his wife who also had shared the stren- uous burden. Quite striking also is the easy going village lawyer Meeks, with his homely traits, hs fondnees for Sylvia's pies and paddings, his hobby for producing homemade wine from wild grapes, his honest fondness for the society of Henry and his wife
 especially at meal times and his l prompt and ready and sufficient ex- i planation regarding the will--an un- signed, unwitnessed and discarded document which Sylvia mad found and which caused her months of self reproach and real anguish--so much so that despite her attempts at con cealment, her husband and Horace
 the principal boar1er saw that she was not her former self in her disquietude and nervous perturbation
