What's tho Matter With Thomas7

What's tho Matter With Thomas?
There are some names which seem
peculiarly suited to royalty; Louis, for
instance, has 4 kingly sound. Francis,
George, Henry in both spellings,
Charles, William, Edward and James
all have served their turn. Johns there
have been, and Stephens. l remember
Robert in Sicily and Peter in Rus
sia and Servia Frederick has often
worn the crown, and royal honOrs arc
even now paid to Ferdinand in Bull
Earia But was there ever, anywhere,
king named Thomas? Oscars and
even Haakens ascend the dais, but
ever through all the centuries Thomas
remains the subject, sometimes strug-
Cling up to bishopric or IN earldom,
but never attaining the crown. Nicho-
lases wear the imperial purple; God
frcys lord it over Terli ee IN: Alexis
struts in ermine; AleXandcrs fare forth
10 conquest; julius and Leo don the
triple crown. but Thomas. poor pIebeian
Thomas, has never crown to his
name. Now tell me. you who are wise
in the occult influence Of names, what
is the matter with Tom?-London

Alarm In Persia

Teheran, July 19.-The Persian gov
eminent is almost panic stricken today
over the unexpected return to til:
country OF Mohhomed Ali, the dcposeL
Shah, with the object of regainigg the
throng. He landed at Cumeah Tepch
on the shore OF the Caspian sea.
Reports today say that he is hasten.
ing toward Astrabad and gathering
many followers of the way. Conditions
boz dering on open revolt an anarchy.
and doubts OF the loyalty ofthe govern
ment troops, make effective resistance
to the former ruler virtually impcs
sible.
1t is intimated that Russia, which
promised to see that Mohammcd All
did not return, deliberately let him
come back to create disorders that
would justify Russia in completing the
long pending grab Of large slice Of
Persia.
1t is said England would also be al
lowed to share, while Germany is GER
tain to insist upon beng considered in
any partition OF the Shah's dominion

WASHINGTON as a Humorist

While president Washington's humor
seemed to find expression in the dlplo-
macy Of self protection. \ French
rerolutionist came to him for general
testimonial, which Washington did not
care to grant, yet he did not wish to
give offense to the French By a curt
refusal, so he wrote an evaslye card
worthy of Lincoln-"C. Volney needs
no recommendation from G. Washing
ton"
After CORVALLIS surrender at York
town Washington treated him with
high consideration. At dinner given
in honor Of the distinguished prisoner
Rochambeau proposed "The United
States" as his toast; Washington re-
sponded with "The king Of France
CORVALLIS, perforce, family suggested
His majesty" when Washington
startled them all by announcing, 1.-THE
king Of England-may he stay there"
with a ready wit that made even Corr
wallis laugh.-Century,

DIFFERENT RECEPTIONS.
Jones Receives Warm Welcome
at Charlottesville But Has Few
Friends in HarriSOnburg.

Congressman W. 4. Jones is meet
ing with all kinds of receptions on his
senatorial canvas lie spoke last
night at Charlottesville to one Of the
most enthusiastic audiences that has
greeted him during the present cam
paigns The Richmond Times-Dispatch
OF today says it was probably the
largest political gathering which has
assembled in Charlottesville in years.
Every seat in the courthouse was taken
and all the available space on tables, in
windows and in the gallery was occu-
pied.
A conservative estimate would place
the number at between 500 and 400.
There were probably dozen women in
the gallery.
At first the large gathering was ac-
counted for by the belief that it had
come out ofcuriosity. and would soon
dispense, but as Mr. Joncs's address
proceeded, applause, more than once
rising to cheers, greeted him when his
thrusts at his opponent we're the
shreTdes. and the keenest.
The dominant feeling OF Martin and
Jones men alike is one OF amazement
at the large gathering, at its spirit OF
evident sympathy with the speaker,
and with the good humor with which
all thrusts were received.
In Harrisonburg on the night pre-
vious his reception was one OF a very
different naturt. The Harrisonburg
Daily Times says:
Mr.. Jones arrived in HarrisOnburg
on the early morning B. & 0. train,
and had he been suffering from bubonic
plague, or smallpox, and the local
leaders had not been vaccinated, they
would not have remained further from
him than they did. Indeed, up until
half hour before Mr.. Jones arose to
make his speech, it was doubtful il he
would have any one to introduce him.
Finally. however, Mr.. Harry NJ. Strick-
Ter, young attorney Of the town was
| located as one who did not object"
to the task, and Mr.. Stricken did it
very gracefully.
Mr.. Stricken said in part: 1t has
been said on the streets today that Mr..
Jones would not find any one willing to
introduce him, but | do not really be-
lieye that things have come to such 4
pass in the county OF Rockingham that
q visiting speaker and one who has
served twenty years continuously in
Congress, would be thus treated; that |
stanaa ready at all times to hear
both sides Of an argument, and that it
is my pleasure TO introduce to you Hon.
William A. Jones, member Of Congress
from the First district.

after an operation for appendicitis, j!
vas discovered yesterday that Rev.
Myron NJ Bruce, aged %, pastor OF
the Pleasant View Church near James
town, has been living under an assumed
name and that his real name is Aims
worth.
His father, Rev. Byron Bruce Aims
worth. pastor OF the Christian Church
at franklin, Ind, went 10 kenia yes
terday to take the body 10 Allison7illc,
Ont, for burial.
Three weeks ago the Pleasant View
Church advertised in religious paper

is alleged to have come from the
Franklin, Ind, pastor recommending
his cousin, Rev. Myron NJ. Bruce. Ar
engagements were speedily made for
the reception OF the new pastor.
Rev Bruce" arrived in short time
and for three weeks preached the Cos
pei fervidly. Then he was taken sick
and died after an operation.
Rev. Ainsworth was summoned and
when he faced the body gave way to
grief and cried out: He is my son,
not my cousin"
The alleged deception is said to have
been DUE to the young mans desire
20 live down past incidents 10 his life.
