UNDISTURBED BY THE CLAM0R
Sudden and Desfenlng Noise Had No
Effect on Occupant Of New
York Park.

He was lost In dreamy contempla
ton OF the busy thoroughfare with its
hurrying throng, unmindful OF the
CRIME and stains that marked and
marred his old-fashioned garments.
when suddenly there resounded upon
the air an ear-splitting roar, a terrific
clangor. a stifed shrek from some
frightened women, a babel Of voices
and a rush OF s%currying feet.
He stood transfixed, rooted to the
spot, without power to move a muscle,
an expression OF unconscious agony
upon his noble face. Breathlessly he
waited, unmindful of the curious
glances bestowed upon him, and the
little newsboys crouching at his feet,
his gaze fixed rigidly upon the spot
from whence had arisen that cry Of
terror. The crowd parted, a heavy
truck moved lumberingly aside and a
Broadway surface car went on its way.
Still he did not move, nor did the
stern expression upon his bronzed
features relax.
For he alone Of all that crowd had
nerves sufficiently hardened to with
stand the terrifying clamor and con-
fusion. lie was the statue Of Nathan
Hale-New York World.

lTALY'S FAMOUS IRON CROWN
Symbol Of Royalty That Goes Far
Back Into the Records Of Euro
pean History.

One Of the most famous crowns Is
that which is not bedecked with jew.
els, but is made Of iron. This historic
iron crown has played n romantic role
In the history of Italy. 1t was fash
Toned in the year 594 by the command,
It is said, of Theolinda, the widow Of a
Lombard king, on the occasion OF her
marriage to a duke Of Turin.
The iron is oyerlaid with gilt. The
significance of the crown was sup
posed to lie In the fact that the weigh,
of royalty could never be llghtened by
its splendid exterior. The iron Of the
inner portion was additionally held
to be one Of the long nails used at the
crucinxion.
For a long time the crown vas kept
In the famous monastery at Monza.
In IA 1t was brought forth to be
placed upon the head Of Charlemagne
as king Of the Lombards,' and on
later occasions It figured In the trl'
umphs OF Frederic " and Charles V.
Finally, in the presence of oil the rep
resentatives of state, the foreign en-
voys and princes and officers, Ma
poleon Bonaparte solemnly united II
to the crown of France.
The crown belongs to the state, and
the custodian Of It is the legitimate
representative OF the basilica Of Mon
"a. The title Of grand custodian
however, pertains to the head of the
Order OF Cavaliers.

In certain forms OF blindness caused
by opacity of the cornea It has been
discovered that the best form OF treat

operation ordinary india ink is used,
the tatooing being done with a hypo-

The cornea is injected with the ink

THE MAINE ELECTION
Republicans and Progresslves Said to
Have Combined Against Demo-
crats--Great interest In
Result.

Portland. Me-, Sept 9.--Maine,
which, with the exception Of Vermont,
is the earliest. commonwealth in the
Union to hold state elections during
the presidential campaign, is voting
today for governor, United States
senator. four. congressman, members
of the state legislature and county
officials. For the past two weeks both
parties have been stumping the state
and some OF the biggest speakers in
the republican and democratic parties
have appealed, to the voters of Maine
in behalf of their respective tickets.
Forecasts by party leaders Of the
result of the election differ greatly.
Governor Frederick w. Plaisted, dem
ocrat. is opposed for reelection by
William T. Haines republican, OF
waterville. The progressives have not
entered a separate ticket ii being
generally agreed among the leaders to
unite with the republicans
The contest for United States SEN
ator is between Edwin c. Burleigh,
who represented the Third Maine dis
trict In congress for many years, and
the present democratic senator. Oba-
diah Gardner, who was named last
spring to succeed William p. Frye.
For many years Mr.. Gardner was
master OF the state grange. There
probably is no man in Maine so well
known throughout the rural section of
the state as Senator Gardner, and the
feeling is that he has made good dur.
ing the brief time he has been in
Washington.
Not even the seventh son of sew.
enth son can predict what the out
come OF today's voting will be. The
congressional candidates have been
making their fight on the tariff the
gubernatorial candidates have made
their fight on state finances and good
roads. while local issues have been on
the questions of temperance. conser-
vation OF resources, control OF public
service corporations and the employ.

sidered solidly republican, and the

Indicates Short Crop In
All States.
[By Associated Press. ]

Washington, Sept. 9-The first cot
ton ginning report OF the census bu-
reau for the 1912 season, issued at
10 a. m. today, announced that 729, 1926
bales of cotton of the growth of 1912
had been ginned prior to September I,
counting round as half bales. To that
date last year 771.297 bales, or per
cent of the entire crop, had been
ginned; in 1908, 4O2,229 bales, or 81
per cent of the crop; and in 1906,
4O7,551 bales, or 81 per cent of the
crop.
Included in the total ginnings were
6134 round bales, compared with 7709
round bales last year to September L !;
1896 round bales in 1910, and 1857

branches of the legislature and a
large majority Of the county officers.
The democrats are In power and
have the machinery OF government at
their command. They realize that
should they be turned down by the
voters 1t would likely be years before
they could return to power. This is
not all they are fighting for, however.
for in November comes the national
election, and the democratic party in
Maine. feels certain that the winning
of the state in September will. with
out doubt, mean that they will land
the six electoral votes of Maine for
Wilson in November.
On the other hand, the republicans,
chagrined at their loss of power, are
anxious to once more occupy positions
in the seats OF the mighty.
