Mrs. BeuIah HaySkins's Case BaGles
 Her Physicians.

Los Angeles, April 6.--Mrs. Beulah F1a wkins has completed the sixty first day of a sleep that has puzzled and bafied the many physicians who have investigated her case.

It is generally be- iieved that Mrs. Hawkins is at times conscious of what Is going on about her and that frequent nutterings of here eyelids indicate desire to shake on the trance which has been medi- caily described as cataleptic insanity.

The relations between Sweden and Russia and to a lesser extent Denmark and Russia, have recently been strained owing to the insistence of Russia that she be released from the agreement made when. Sweden surrendered Fin- land, that no naval stations of fortf- fications be established on the Finnish shores adjacent to Sweden. Russia went so far as to establish a naval station on the western shores of the Aland Islands, which are twenty-five miles from the Swedish coast. and she was preparing to build Notifications fhare i1stn

He said there had never been indictments for peonage in his State except against men, not citizens of the State, and those cases had been dismissed.

DINING TABLES.
The Transition From the Festive
Board of Primitive Man.

SOar0 Man.
The first dining table was probably
just block of stone or log of wood,
but even primitive man must soon
have discovered that these devices did
not provide for the comfortable dis
posal of his legs and have set about
taxing all his ingenuity to invent some
thing else. 1t is probable that as the
result of his cogitations a rough hewn
piece of board supported on two big
stones came into fashion among the
elite in these far prehistoric times.
The early trestle table which was
used in the beginning of the fifteenth
century consisted of q parallelogram of
wood, fashioned into a board. resting
upon two or more pedestal-lke sup
ports. And we have a "Reminiscences Of

A FAMOUS DIAMOND.
Curious Incident In the History OF
the IkOhimoOr.

The Kohinoor fell into the hands of
the ruler of Lahore and on the con-
quest of the Puujab became posses
sion of Queen Victoria in the year
1850 The first authentic mention &C
tl:is matchless gem is by an eastern
monarch, who refers to Jewel valued
at ose-half the daily expenses of the
whole world" A century or two later
the Persian cOnQuerOr of India, seeing
the diamond glitter in the turban of
the unfortunate raj0h, exclaimed, with
rough and somewhat costly humOr,
Come, let us change our turbanS in
pledge Of friendship" The exchange
was promptly effected. The stone fell
at last into the hands of the British,
and pending its delivery to the crown
Sir John Lawrence, afterward Lord
Lawrence, was made its guardian.
His bi0grapher, Bosworth Smith. re-
lates a curious incident of its custody.
Half uncOnsciously Sir John thrust it,
wrapped up in numerous folds of cloth,
into his WaistcOat pocket the whole be-
ing in an insignificant little box. He
continued the work upon which he was
engaged and thought no more Of his
precious treasure. He changed his
clothes for dinner and threw his waist
coat aside. still forgetting all about the
little box contained in it.
Some weeks afterward a message
came from the vceroy saying that the
queen had ordered the jewel to be i'm
mediateIy transmitted to her.
II a moment the fact of his careless
ness flashed across Sir John. but he
slipped away to his private room
and with his heart in his mouth sent
for his old bearer. of whom be asked:
''Have YOU a small box that was in
my waistcOat pocket some time ago?
Yes, sahib." the man replied. Il
found it and put it in your chest of
drawers"
Bring it here" said Sir John. open
it." he ordered when the little box had
been produced, and see what is in
side"
He watched the man with tense anx-
iety as fold after fold Of the rags was
taken off
There is nothing here. sahib." said
the old man at last. but a bit of

A TALL TIGER.
She Way the Sleek Brute Impressed
an Excited Trcnchman.

Tigers are impressive creatures, eS-
pecially when one meets them in the
forest. George Maxwell writes of
them: There is little doubt that al
most every one has peculiar sensa-
ton of the almost gOdlike beauty, pow
er, activity and strength of tiger. \
tiger will overawe and make conscious
of his inferiOrity a man who would be
unaffected by the bulk of an elephant.
The feeling is, however, elusive of de-
scription, and | can perhaps best eX-
plain it in the words of Il most charm
ing French gentleman who was once
manager of a great tin mining COM
pany in perak. We had just finished
lunch when lie entered in Il state Of
tremendous excitement. Walking alone
and unarmed along an unfrequented
bride path through the forest, he had
walked almost on to tiger.
He gave us most vivid narrative
of the encOunter-h0w the tiger had
been lying down concealed in some
long lalang grass beside the path; how
he was within ten yards of it before
he saw it; how then it rose and looked
at him: how it yawned at him; how it
then walked slowly across the path in
front of him and then stopped and
looked at him, again yawning, and how
it then deliberately walked away into
the forest, whose depths finally hid it
from view.
Some one asked the FrenChman
whether it was a big tiger. He an
swered: Well, messieurs, | cannot say
if he is big tiger My eyes see that
he is big. but l cannot say how big
see him to be, and if l say how big it
is perhaps that l tell you lie But l
can tell you, messeurs. how big l feel
him to be. and | can tell you the truth.
When he is standing there in front of
me l tell you that l feel he is not less
than thirty feet high "-EXchange.

DRUBBEO EARLHAM
In Short Game Professionals
DoWned CoIIegians by a

HERB WHITE WAS "IT.'
HF is PROBABLY THE BEST COL
LEGE PITCHER IN THE STATE
AND LOCAL PLAYERS ADMIRE
HIS STYLE-HE MAY SIGN.

The Richmond squad worked out
Yesterday at Reid Field. which Coach
Vail has generously placed at their
disposal when needed. All the candi-
dates went through their stunts in
gingery manner except the pitchers,
who are suffering considerably from
lamewingis, disease which effects
the twirling arm. IIedjuk was little
under the weather but that did not
prevent him from taking a hard work
out.
Wallis squad of husky Quaker collie
gians took the field about four O'Clock
and after a half hour practice they
lined up against the professionals.
White was in the box for Earlham and
the first two innings of the four inn
ing game which was played he was
the whole works. In these two innings
he whilled six of the locals. In the
third Whites support went bad on
him. This disheartened the big fell
low and in the last round the prCfes-
SIGNALS raped him hard. The locals
took the contest by "a score Of to J.
Capt. Parker worked Conner all four
innings and the big fellow held his
opponents we'll except in the third
when they cOmbcd him for two or
three bingles. Ffant went to short
Yesterday with Hanna in center field.
Both men worked out nicely in these
positions.
Parker led off the batting list yes
terday with Sninn following him. "Ev-
or since | have played professional
ball | have led off on the batting list. y
stated Parker. IF have to bat third
or fourth | feel lost"
The captain succeeded in getting his
base every time up yesterday and
Shinn was pretty successful in adj
vancing him. Shinn is a good bunter
and is as fast as a streak. This COM
bination may work out all right. Burns
and Bambraugh batted third and
fourth and each of them succeeded in
getting a clean drive.
Members of the local team are loud
in their praises of Herb White. the
Earlham box artist. He has plenty
of speed and one Of the incest drop
balls | ever saw. He also has splendid
CONTROL" remarked Hanna. Last year
White came here to join the Rich
mond team but he decided that he
would remain in the amateur class a
year longer, so he returned home. He
may play professional ball at the
close of the college season. Its a
cinch that there is no college twirler
in the state that is in his class.
