ACE OFTME PYRAMID.


Father g uicheleau. a Catholic clergy
man OF New York, is said to have Just
completed ella borate calculations which
have demonstrated to him that the
great Pyramid Of Egypt was built s.324
years before our ara. i His conclusion
Is based on the fact that there lis a
tunnel in one Of the large pyramids,
WI WHICH if'h IS supposed to have been built
on an exact line with the polar star,
and on the further fact that this star,
has been groved 70 move at the rate
of. one degree il every 200 years.
The same calculation was made by
Sir John Herschel In 1899 He as
sumcd that the narrow entrance pass
age was. meant to be leyeled at a polar
star. and calculated back, with what
data he had, ito find the time when such
a star was looking down that passage
from the northern Sky. Other astron-
orners repeated the calculations and
fixed upon the year 21T0 before our era
as that In which the tube pointed to
Alpha Draconis as the then Polar star.
ut the same time that the Pleiades,
particularly Alcyone, We're on the same
meridian above. And as this is situ-
alton that will not occur for more than
$4,000 years from that time, it has
been suggested that 1t was date mark
of the construction OF the pyramid.
There is a discrepancy between the
results obtained. According to Father
iGuicheleau the greatarchitectural mar
vel would date from the time of Noah,
Il #. we accept Hales' chronology, or the
time of Enoch, according to Usher.
pyramid students have generally in
cllned TO the theory that it was built
later. perhaps by Melchisedel.

Much Competition.

Mr.. Archbold said the Standard found,
and was now finding much competition
abroad. This affected the price paid
for crude oil. 1t was the policy of the
company, he said. to take care of all
the crude oil produced. Crude oil was
stored, in tanks holding on an average
of $50 900 barrels. Mr.. Archbold said
there was now stored in tanks So, 900, 900
barrels of oil waiting for use.
why has that been stored?"
Because the production has been
ahead of the demand"
And in spite of that the Standard
has kept on buying?'
yes"
All this enters into the price paid
for crude?"
YES, that is so'
How long may this oil be kept?"
Altogether, 1t is probable that this
oil now being taken out in the mid
continent field will be used for 10
years"
What investment is represented in
storage tanks?"
Mr.. Archbold enumerated the several
considerations that entered into this
form of investment, saying that the
leakage of the more volatile forms
caused a loss.
Mr.. Archbold said that in the early
days it was a question of a bargain
between the shipper and the railroad.
This continued until the passage of
the interstate commerce law" said Mr..
Archbold, "and this tremendous talk
about our company being peculiar in
it's relations toward the railroads was
very unjust, indeed. The people who
made the outcry have done it for utter
Tor reasons"

PARTIES FOR MISS / CROOK
BY ID. HOUSTON.

Bessemer, November 4.-(Special.)- The
assassination of Ned Jones at Johns. y
miles from this city, on Monday even
ing has caused considerable stir in the
lower end of the county. where he had
been known for many years Coroner
Paris is at Johns investigating the affair
and from what can be learned there are
to be some sensational developments. as
it IS said to be very clear that robbery
was not the motive. but rather cold-blood-
ed cowardly murder.
Mr.. Jones was formerly in business in
this city and has been in the mineral
district since it was first developed fol-
lowing mining as a profession. His muir
derer, according to the evidence sub
mitted. must have come to the door of
the snack where the old man lived alone
and shot him deliberately. Money was
in the trousers pockets and two gold
watches in view, while under his head
was a 45-calibre Colt revolver The muir
derer evidently left the house and jumped
a ditch close by, dropping in his hurry
a pocket knife and bottle of whisky.
1t is said that the shack IN which the
deceased lived was owned by a negro.
Whether this has anything to do with the
crime remains to be seen, as the coroner's
jury is very reiicent. Deputies Jones
and smithson have been at the scene of
the crime all day and are still there, and
the trail of the assassin was followed
by dogs for several yards until it was
lost on the railroad tracks. Ned Jones
was a hero of the famous Alabama under
Admiral Semmes and was IN the stoke
hole until the water was to his knees
when he received orders to come on deck,
the vessel sinking in the French harbor
a few minutes later. He was one of only
seven known survivors of the cruiser,
and was well liked and considered AN
transformations character, who did not
have an enemy in the world. The body
will be brought TO Kennedy Bros, I'M
dertakers, to be prepared for burial.
Funeral services will be held at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon at the residence of
W. S. Edge and interment will follow
in Cedar Hill cemetery.

Bargain With Railroad.

Mr. Archbold said that in bargaining
for Porter, Moorehead & Co. for
freight, he had done so badly in many
cases."
Did you ever know what your next
door neighbor did?"
didn't, except what I could find
by careful inquiry; then tried to beat
him. When a manufacturer got rate
from a railroad the manufacturer made
that basis of cost which resulted in
a benefit to the consumer That was
the general rule we worked UNDER
Adjournment was taken until tomor-
row.
