MARY STUART'S BLACK PEARL
Story Of Accidental Recovery Of the
Scottish Queens Necklace In
a Little Shop

A remarkable story appears In .
Paris contemporary Of the discovery
of the black pearl lecklacs of Mary
Queen of Scots, which disappeared on
February s. 1887. We give the
story as we find It.
A lady cyclist had a mishap with
the cord Of her pince-nez while tour
ing in an obscure town In Scotland
The lady pulled up at the general shoI
and tried to replace the cord. The
shopkeeper, not having a suitable
cord, told the lady he would take the
wire from an old necklace which he
showed her.
She, being struck with 1t, said she
would buy 1t at the price asked-12e
6d.-and do as best she could for 9
cord. On reaching her lodgings the
lady cleaned the pearls and was strucl
with their beauty.
The lady's next procedure was te
submit the necklace to an expert Jew
elry, who pronounced the pearls to be
Of very great value, and the Parii
contemporary from which we have
taken the story says they are worth al
least $4,000. adding that on the day
OF the execution the unfortunate
queen OF Scotland divided among hei
women who attended, her ornaments
and jewels, including the necklace OF
black pearls. How II passed into the
hands Of the ancestors Of the shop
keeper Is q mystery.

"a rare attribute, you can be sure.
One day, after a night at double trick
he had been working without sleep
20 hours or more-he made mistake.
He sent an east-bound limited out
with orders to<meet a west-bound To-
cal at certain siding. Then he gave
he local orders to meet the other car
At a siding half mile west OF the
point where the crew of the limited
expected to pass the west-bound car,
Two minutes later he realized his
mistake. He knew the local. speed.
ing west, would collide with the faster
car before it could reach the siding
which its crew supposed was the
meeting place.
"As it happened, the dispatcher had
indicated different sidings. each at the
end of straight track stretches which
approached a long curve He knew
the collision would occur on the curve,
at a point where the crew of neither
car could see the other until the two
trains were so near together that an
accident could not be prevented.
AT once the dispatcher grasped a
telephone, called for the engineer OF
the nearest power plant and had him
shut off the current. Both cars stop
ped. Their crews stood idly by for
few minutes, expecting the current
would be turned on at once. When
they saw the delay was becoming Sc.
rious, one man from each of the crews
ran back to the nearest telephone.
What's the matter with the
'.juice?" they asked the dispatcher,
the two calls coming In from the diff.
ferent telephones at almost the same
instant. Jones. the limited is just
around the curve he told the motor
man of the local. Then he impaired
the same intelligence to the motor.
man OF the faster car.
Both realized their close call. The
accident was, of course. prevented, but
the delay must be accounted for to
the superintendent.
The dispatcher was the first tn re-
port II, and to explain his mistake in
ordering the cars to meet at different
sidings. But they didn't fire him. lie

wasn't one man in a hundred who

WASHINGTON CLUB

gent Away-Function Was Pulled
Off AT GreenyilIe

On account of the big storm the day
before Washington's birthday none of
the Bedding members of the Washing
ton Club could get to Greenville to
attend the function, il was expected
that train would be able TO get
through about six o'clock in the even
ing and for that reason the banquet at
the Phelps House was postponed until
eight o'clock p. m.
In speaking of it the Greenville Call
says: AS there was no chance of the
Bedding contingent getting here, Pres

as there were no outsiders here TO
answer. Solo by +. b. Slawson, Miss
Richardson accompanist, also one by
Mrs. f. b. Slawson, and one by III.
Thorne, and a quartette by Mrs. Il. b.
Slawson, Miss Fish, Mrs. w. III.
Browne and Miss Richardson were the
many pleasant and gentle reminders
that no city the size of Greenville can
furnish such delightful quality of
music.
The regular order of business was
transacted and after the report of the
Goat Keeper, Mrs. George &. Bower
the election of officers resulted as
follows:
President-B. +. Hall, Bedding.

Then the members went to the Fam
lily Theatre where the entertainment
committee put on excellent entertain
ment of one hour and half in length.
Every performer did excellently and
showed wonderful histronic ability.
The first was the kitchen orchestra
which has been heard many times in
this city.
The farce of "Coats and Petticoats"
was given.
Miss Virginia Browne, one of the
most graceful of dancers, and full of
the poetry of motion gave May Dance
followed by an Irish Lilt.
The performance concluded with a
Song and Chorus entitled "Winteru
sung by Mrs. L. b. Sawson assisted
by the following chorus: Mesdames
J. &. Smith, G. Z. Larke, G. III. Glib

Shortly alters o'clock 7S sat down 10
dinner, which was much enjoyed, both
the viands and the service being of the
best, music being played by Miss Case

The smashing of Murphy is highly

ENGINEERS WAGES.

well paid than that they are not well

POULTRY PROFITS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In an article recently published
about the Jewish colony OF farmers near
Boston the statement was made that
poultry. eggs and milk yield but small
margin OF profit" l frequently see and
hear this complaint, and am at loss to
understand why. Suppose person has
one hundred hens. When each OF those
hens has laid fifty eggs the owner has
possessed 5000 eggs. At the minimum
price of two cents each there is $l00-and
no well bred hen stops laying ut "flfty
eggs" Suppose. again, the 5000 eggs
were incubated and sold in ten weeks for
brollers at 90, 80 or 70 cents, according to
the season. At the smallest possible esti-
mate Of Is cents each there remains the
sum OF 81 $50 for those 5000 eggs. In case
of 1000 of them lost, there is a clear 81 600
left. Meantime, what are those 100 hens
doing the rest OF the year?
L am well aware IT is easy to do any
thing ION paper" but. handled scientih-
cally by one or two persons, there Is a
very large profit in even a small flock of
poultry. Twenty small, perfectly APP
pointed coops, containing five hens each
and rooster, will reward any one who
is wise enough to care for them.

A FITTING END.

The suicide Of the miserable de

ante-mortem statement which should
be spread abroad wherever the news
Of the murder Of poor Julia Connors
has travelled. The terror and regret
which filed the weak mind Of SwartZ
and drove him to kill himself are not
pleasant to contemplate. Yet they

q notable instance of the eternal truth
OF that old saying. THE way Of the

THE ONE AIM OF PROGRESS"

Mr.. BORDEN d. Whiting, who was the
first in New Jersey TO urge the organ-
ization of a third party under the
gulse Of Progressive" and who is now
the leader of the third term move
ment I'm that state, yet who still. we
believe. assumes to be the Republican
national committeeman for New Jer-
sey. has issued a call to the people
irrespective Of party aiflllauolis 10
ioin in mass convention FOR the
purpose of indorsing Theodore Roose-
welt for the Office Of President OF the
United States"
OF course there are other ends TO De
attained. Mr.. Whiting desires that
the power of sordid and organized
"selfishness may be permanently brok-
zen" not including, however, the self
ish ambition for third term In the
Presidency. He also desires that
party loyalty may take on a new
spirit" presumptively meaning that
men should profess to belong to one
party and should hold offices in It's or
ganization or be candidates for cleo
ton on its ticket, while actually work
ing against 1t in the interest OF an
other and rival party. But the lmme-
date purpose, the prime object, to
which all other things are secondary,
is the election of Theodore Roosevelt
10 the Presidency for third term.
Without that ali is vanity Of vanities.
Mr.. whiting Is a gentleman Of schol-
arly tastes and habits, and Is doubtless
familiar with the classic lines:
When went there by an age. since the
great flood.
When they could say till now. that
talk'd Of Rome.
