THE astoria.
Interesting Data About the Magic
Star Gem of CeylOn.

Interesting Data About the Magic
Star Gem of CeylOn.
Familiar to some Of the ancient
writer's and credited with supernatural
powers, the astoria, or star gem, was
highly valued for the benefits sup
posed to be conferred on the wearer.
Its bright, six rayed star, ever chang
ing and shifting with every play of
light and especially shooting out its
flames in the direct sunlight, would
seem to be something more than an
ordinary crystal, and to the supersti-
tious mind it could readily be believed
to embody some tutelar spirit. The
particular virtue attributed to this gem
was the comforting upon the wearer of
health and good fortune" when worn
as an amulet, and to those fortunate
to be born in the month of April, with
which the stone was associated or rep
resented, the wearer was insured from
all evil. The star stone is found prin-
cipally in Ceylon, invariably in soil
peculiar to rubies and sapphires. In
deed it is composed Of the same con-
stituent ''corundum," it's chatoyant, or
star rays, being caused by the pres
sure of what the natives call silk. "
1t is found in many different colors.
from pale blue, pink and white to deep
dark blue, ruby and purple. The blue
are termed sapphire stars, the red
ruby stars. 1t is always cue en-
cabochon, the star dividing into six
rays at the apex. 1t is next in hard
ness to the diamond.
The 'Moorman" of Colombo, with
tools as rude and simple as his fore
fathers used 1000 years before, with
no training or instruction except the
unwritten mysteries of the craft hand
ed down from father to son. will pro-
duce the most wonderful results in
cutting and polishing gems and in
many instances rival the more edu-

QUEER THINGS IN POLAND.

Superstition Plays . Leading Role

1t is customary in Polish villages to
strew straw over the Christmas eve
supper tables and for the young people,

In other rural Polish districts on the

Catholic church. One Hundred and
Eighty-Seventh street and Broadway,
were celebrating mass they were sud
denly aroused by an explosion which
sounded like the discharge of a gun.
Many of the worshippers hurried out
of the church and saw Father Lynch,
one of their priests, kneeling beside
two women and administering the last
rites of the church.
Two acolytes. in scarlet cassocks
and white SUPPLIES, who had followed
the priest, were kneeling beside him.
The two women were victims of an au-

With barred heads and Bonded knees
the crowd watched the priest and many
a prayer was offered for the recovery
of the injured.

A typical Williams chorus of nifty

much in evidence in the ensembles.

CANDIDATES WILL
NOT Be PLEDGED
No Promises to Be Exacted
BY the Indiana Anti
Saloon League.
A NEW SYSTEM DEVISED
IN FUTURE THE TEMPERANCE
ORGANIZATION WILL SUPPORT
MEN WHO APPEAR TO BE IN
CLINED IN ITS DIRECTION.

Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. 15.-R. C.
Minton, general attorney for the Indi-
ana Anti-saloon league, has announced
that the league will not attempt to ex-
act promises from candidates for the
legislature to support the leagues leg
islative program at the next session.
This will be entirely different from
the plan followed last year, when the
league canvassed all of the candidates
of both parties all over the state, and
demanded promises that they would
vote for the bills promoted and favored
by the league. The candidates were
judged according to the answers which
they gave to the league, and the
league made up it's slate accordingly.
In some counties the league supported
republican candidates for the legisla-
ture and in others. where they found
a democrat who was willing to give his
promise Of support, they supported a
democrat. Wherever they found a
can or the democrat would promise or
in which both were willing to make
the promise the league made no choice
and left it up to the voters to make
their own choice, on the ground that
It made no difference which candidate
was elected.
What the Plan Is.
Minton says that next year the
league will size up the candidates from
all over the state and pick out the
men who appear to be the best ones for
the legislature. Then they will sup
port these men, but they will not ex-
act any promises from them. The
league believes it will have a better
chance to win il 1t assists in nominal
ing men on whom 1t can depend to
support its measures and then work for
their election without any promises,
rather than to seek to tie them up with
promises that would have to be kept.
Minton is the man who has charge
of the legislative work of the Anti-sa-
loon league. He wrote the county 10
cal option law which was passed by
the special session Of the legislature
and has assisted In the trial Of the
cases throughout the state in which
the law has been attacked. He also
has assisted in the preparation OF the
briefs in support of the law which
have been filed with the supreme cour.

TRYING TO
INJURE STERNE
False Report Circulated as to His
Position With Reference
to Wages.

Parties who hope to lnjure Mr..
ouis Sterne's candidacy for mayor
are circulating reports that when the
question Of increasing the wages for
men employed to work for the city
was before the council increasing the
WAGES from $3.50 to $1.75 per day, Mr..
sterne voted against the increase.
The report is false and It Is to be re-
oretted that those who do not wish
to see Mr.. Sterne elected should re-
sort to such contemplate work to try
and accomplish his defeat. Mr.. Sterne
like all Of the rest Of the counciImen
at that time, voted for the Increase
and the records Of the April meeting
in 100 Z will :, show. There is no use
to be misled. Mr.. sterne Is in favor
Of oood wages. More than year ago
he voluntarily increased the wages Of
the men in his empIoye. Can those
who are circulating the false reports
about him say SO much for them
selves?
Workinsmcn are we'll satisfied with
Mr.. sterne's position on the wage
question. His voluntary increase in
the wages Of his own men refutes the
lying charges that some one is now
circulating with the purpose of hurt
ina his chances for the mayoralty.
