Detroit IS at Work on Arrangements
for Elks' Convention.


Detroit will have a population of
about 100000 next July. This num-
Der is not to be reached through the
ever increasing automobile industry of
the city. but through the efforts of the
Detroit Elks, says the Detroit Journal.
Their big convention which opens on
July 3 and continues for week, will,
it is confidently expected, bring 100000
visitors to the town. There will, how
ever, be no chance to include the guests

this year, as his enumerators are to

Copper country teachers and cducat-
ors. i'm common with those all over the
United states, have just learned of the
decision of the executive committee OF
the National Educational association
TO hold the annual convention of the
association in Boston, July u.s. 1910.
At the meeting last summer, IT was
voted to hold the next annual conven-
tion i'm San Francisco or Boston, 1t
being left with the executive commit
tee to decide which of the twoscities
should be selected. Delay in making
this decision has been due to in
ability to obtain satisfactory conces-
sions from the railroads i'm the mat
ter of rates. Recently, the Grand
Trunk and the eastern lines have on
cred a round trip rate of one and one
fourth fare on the certificate plan,
which rate. the committee hopes, viii
also be made by other trunk lines.
IT is likely that the 1911 convention
will be held in San Francisco. The

MUST WAIT THIRTY DAYS

Divorce DEGREES will not be
signed for 80 days after being
granted, according to proposed
resolution that District Court
Judges Orr and Pike will probably
pass with in a short time at Reno.
Although the decree will be
pronounced granted at the COL
clusion of testimony, as at present,
it will not be actually in effect
until the signature of the judge
hearing it, is affixed to the order
at the bottom of the transcribed
testimony. This will do away

FAMOUS SWORDS

The largest sword of which there
is any record is the seven foot
ceremonial sword that was made
for Edward III, and is now
preserved in Westminster abbey.
Next comes the "sword of cere.
mony" that is used at Welsh
eisteddfods.. This weapon if
placed in the hands of a modern
Godfrey de Bouillon, who. it will
be recalled, with a two handed
sw ord cleaved a Turk into halves
from the shoulder to the hips,
would be quite long enough for
any one who wished to put it to
practical use. 1t is six feet two
inches in length.
Of gorgeous work which are
not so much weapons as settings
for precious stones the mo ST
valuable in English is said to be
the one present ed by the
Egyptians to Lord Wolsely and
valued at $4,000. This sum is
comparatively insignificant for q
bejeweled sword if the value OF
the sword brought over to Europe
some years ago by the then shah OF
Persia--namely, $50,0O0-be taken
as standard of what diamond
hilted weapon ought to cost.
Competent authorities on the
subject familiar with that famous
weapon of the Persian ruler are
rather skeptical as to the existence
of the gaekwar of Baroda's
gorgeous blade, which is supposed
to be worth more than twenty
swords Of equal beauty and value
to the shah's, but it is popularity
supposed that the diamonds, rubies
and emeralds with which it is thickly
incrusted bring up its value to
about 81 900, 08O. Exchange.
