STRA|NS0F" ALLALONE"
PROSTATE POLICEMAN

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Sufering
from nervous prostration brought on
by listening to the monotonous strains
OF All Alone" every night at Coney
Island, j. W. Richards, mounted
policeman, is i'll at his home in Brook.
lyn and under the care of physician.
His post was in Surf avenue, where
the bands as vel as the merry.eo-
round seem to have a particular liking
for "All Alone" At first Richards
liked the tune; in fact, hummed it
softly as the bands and organs played
1t: But when, day after day and night
after night he was compelled to listen
to All Alone" Richards began to feel
queer.
He did not know just what the trou.
pie was, but noticed that when he got
nome he felt little easier. Every
time ne went to duty he felt the same
dlsquieting sensations, and at last
took to his bed. A physician DIAGNOSED
MS malady as nervous prostration.

MYSTERY CHAMBERS.
Famous Locked Rooms In Some Of tho
Old British Castles.

Famous Locked Rooms IN some OF tho
Old British Castles.
Perhaps the most famous locked
room in the world is at Glamis castle.
the old home Of the earls Of Strath-
more. In this rambling pile there is
supposed to be secret chamber. &C.
cess to which is known only to the
Earl of Strathmore. the heir apparent
and the factor. The mysterious cham
Der is supposed to have been. centuries
ago, the repository Of a grim family
scandal. the nature of which could
only whispered even in those wild
days.
There is in Poulton Old Hall mys.
FERROUS locked room which has never
been opened except by a representa-
tive OF the Green family. The hall and
its lands have sometimes been let. but
the Green family have always retain
ed possession of this mysterious room.
which is supposed to contain several
relics and other family treasures. 1t is
said that the last tenant. a prominent
Mersey shipowner. would have given
them an increased rent for it If he
could have had access to it or could
have cleared away the mysterious con-
tents. but the owners refused to give
up possession. and 80 the tenant left.
There is very similar tradition at
Neither Hall. the Cumberland seat Of
the Senhouse family. Here. as at
CLAIMS castle. the position of the &C.
cret chamber is known only to the
heir-at-law and the family solicitor.
The room. it is understood, has no
window and up till now has not been
located by any one not in possession OF
the key to the mystery.
A tragic interest attaches to the
ruins of Minister Lowell house, In OK
fordshire. While it was tenanted by
q farmer q concealed vault was dis
covered. and in it was the perfect
skeleton Of Lord Lowell. seated at
table on which was lying an open
prayer book. There were some jars
and barrels which had contained food,
sufficient. no doubt, to last some
weeks; but. the mansion having fallen
into the hands Of King Henry VII,
the prisoner was unable to regain his
liberty. The discovery cleared up =
mystery which had surrounded his
fate for nearly two centuries.-Pear-
sons Weekly.

The nose plsys 4 very important

difference in noses constitutes about
the only distinction bieetween one Jap

As there are very few large noses to
be found III Japan. a lady with large
nose Is regarded /as one specially gift

pictures in which ladies are portrayed
the artists are particularly careful to
make the nose of liberal dimensions.

mated the cotton market of the last
few years and to have brought about
the high prices that prevailed is alb
been believers in high priced cotton
have merely taken advantage OF the
economic situation. We did not create
the condition; we merely utilized It.
Rockefeller and Morgan combined could
not over n period OF several years
dominate the cotton trade and maintain
high prices unlecs economic conditions
justified these prices. When 1t is taken
into account that last years cotton
crop, including the value of the seed,
was worth ss63.ooo.oOo. which is mora

capital of the Urited States, and which
Is considerably more than the entire
investment In all the cotton mills Of
America, the absurdity of the claim
that has been ma de. that the bulls have
been responsible for high priced cot
ton, becomes very evident"
Mr.. Brown further goes on to contend
that the world will never again see
what Is called cheap cotton. because
of the constantly increasing demand
for 1t, not only by the increasing num-
bers to be clothed, but because OF the
greater variety of uses to which the
staple is put; because OF the higher cost
of production; because of the growing
tendency to diversity crops; every year
sees fifty million more people to be
clothed and every day sees new uses
for cotton.
