il may interest women to know that
the first iewelry store was started in
the city of Chang On about 5000 years
ago. The Celestial millionaires of that
period knew nothing of the fascination
of diamonds because diamonds were
not in vogue at that B. c. period.
Pearls and jade and coral and other
unpublished mineral substances had to
content them. and. as if to make good
the glitter of revieres and tiaras. the
princes of Chang On employed arti-

in themselves were far more costly
than diamonds.

BRAzOs COUNTY
SINGING CONVENTION
FOURTEENTH ANNUAL SESSION
HELD WITH RELIANCE CHOIR
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
OLD OFFICERS REELECTED
Large Crowd Present and One of Fin
est Meetings in History of the
Convention.

The Brazos County Singing Conven-
tion held its fourteenth annual ses-
sion with the choir at Reliance church
on last Saturday and Sunday. Very
large crowds were present on both
days and it was the unanimous opin-
ion of all that it was one of the great
est and most enjoyable meetings in
the history of the convention. The
choirs Of the county were we'll repre-
sented, and there were large numbers
of visitors present from the various
neighborhoods, and many from Grimes
and Madison counties.
The good people of old Reliance did
themselves proud in entertaining the
visitors. They are noted for their
hospitality, and on this occasion. if
possible, they eclipsed all former eff
forts. Every visitor was given cor
dial welcome and made to feel at
home On both days dinner was serv-
ed on the grounds, and better dinners,
or more bountiful supply, was never
seen before in the history of the world.
Great barrels of ice water was pro-
vided for the comfort of the crowds,
in fact nothing was left undone that
would in any way contribute to the
pleasure or the comfort of those in at
tendance.
The convention was called to order

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER
DIED At HOME
Heart Failure Suddenly Brought Low
Greatest Jurist Of All the World.

Bar Harbor, Maine. July 5.-Chief
Justice Melville w. Fuller, of the
United States supreme court. died of
heart failure at his summer home in
Sorrento at six O'clock yesterday
morning
! The death of the chief justice was
entirely unexpected as he has been ap-
parently in good health lately, and
there had been no premonitory symp-
toms of any kind of trouble.
Sunday he attended church as us
ual and when he retired that night he
was to all appearances in his custom
airy health
His daughter, Mrs. Nathaniel Fran
els and Rev. James Freeman, who was
the guest of Justice Fuller at Sorren-
to cottage. were with the jurist when
he died.
Funeral services will be held at
Sorrento and the interment will be at
Chicago. The date for the funeral
has not yet been fixed
Chief Justice Fuller was in his nth
year
Sketch of His Life.
Melville Weston Fuller was born in
Augusta. Maine, February II, 1888.
He was appointed chief justice of the
United States April so, 1888 His ap-
pointment was confirmed July 90
1888. and he took the oath of office on
October s of the same year.
Judge Fuller's father was Frederick
A. Fuller. and there is a coincidence
in the fact that his mother was the
daughter of Chief Justice Nathan Wes
ton. Young Fuller attended school al
Augusta and was graduated from
Bowdoin College in the class of 1858
He was a classmate of Edward ]
Phelps, who was subsequently to be
come a distinguished lawyer and
United States minister to England. II
is a curious fact that thirty-five years
later President Cleveland seriously de
bated the question whether he should
appoint Fuller or Phelps to the chic
iusticeship.

REFUGE NEEDED BY SOUL
No Clever Philosophy or Store of
Wisdom Can Meet HUI
man Needs.

The message at Phillips Congrega-
tional church Yesterday was devoted to
the singular and widespread testimony
to the Christian verities that is found
in the life and the literature of the time
which is nOn-Christian, even openly an
tagonistic.
The Rev. P. A. Simpkin, the pastor,
| read as the basis of the sermon the
/ souI-cry of one of England's brilliant
| liberals, an agnOstic and a contender
against the faith of the fathers, saying
in part:
y. A. Symonds, speaking of the hun
ger of his life for the abiding, said,
Those who are not tenoned and NOR
tised upon something indestructible,
must be rendered Wretched by the
ohangefulness and barrenness of daily
life 1t is wonderful that we are at all
contented with the transitory interests
and trivial occupations which fill up the
memorable years. The soul needs a
refuge from things that pass like a
show, to some reality above them and
beneath them. If the world is to live
without faith, and to become conscious
of the vanity of earthly things; if
men take to seriously thinking upOn
the facts of this life without a reli-
gious trust in God, a simultaneous sui
eide might almost be expected. This
comes after years of contest with the
forces that make for Christian faith.
1t is only one voice of q multitude that
of the heart. 1t is the register of the
ages need and expectancy. It is born
out of the fact that nothing less than
the religion of the Nazarene does sat
isfy the human heart.
There is no power in the things
transitory to do that. No clever philos-
Ophy, no store of human wisdom, no
stole facing of the tangled problem of
life that makes at last the soul a fatal
istiSt, can meet human need.
THE heart has certain unchanging
needs, abiding demands, the persistent
and eternal needs that no variation of
circumstance, culture and education can
alter. To these only God can min
ister only the fulness of eternal power
move through faith and surrender of
will and life.
Men do not compass the eternal
truth and life by thought and develop
ment, but by simply receiving them
from the eternal.
"The analyst of history sees that the
force salVatOTy for civilization is spir
ituaI The careless and agnostic father
power and influence of the Christian
religion. The statesman sees in it the
only force to conserve the highest and
best in man. And the cry of the men
like Symonds, who want the satisfac-
tion of the eternal. makes all the more
notable the fact that Of all the men and
women who were ever touched by the
freeing and filling life of the christ,
never one surrendered it because it
failed to satisfy, and to lend to life
that eternal strength, interest and
value. that fill the heart with salts
faction abiding. And it does so, not
because il Is mysterious, but because it
gives to life the knowledge of the mind
and purpose of an eternal Cod"

New York, March ia large aggre-
gate of new bond issues offered for
public subscription by syndicates last

supply of banking credits, and light
ened the interest rates for money. The
influence was felt particularly in the
rates for time loans
Prices at which new railroad bond
issues were offered showed the expen-
slve conditions operative, and the offer
lngs were not absorbed with such rap
ldlty as to indicate any keen appetite
for investment on the part of capital.
The condition is attributed to the in
fluence of the general level of prices

increases in the worlds gold circula-

fered by irrigation companies at high
rates makes an effective competition
for capital.
The fact that large amounts of the
new bond issues have been placed with
foreign subscribers afforded relief to
the foreign exchange market and re-
dUced rates thereto below the level of

market, however, foreigners continued
to sell stocks in New York, attracted by

encouraging effect on sentiment De-

as improving. The February copper

the rate of production rose.
The increase in the New York Cen

of other increases. The advance in the
