The Opal.

It was Sir Walter Scott who helped in "Anne of Geierstein" to arouse the fears of the superstitious concerning the wearing of that very beautiful stone, the opal, and it was German dealer in gems who fostered that fear very successfully for other ends then those of romance. He came to Eng land years ago. we are told by a jew eler to fill an order from one of the royal families in Germany-a wedding order, if 1 remember rightly. Opals were then high. He had printed the story that opals were unlucky and spread the report diligently. In a short time the. price went down, and he was enabled to fill his order and make a handsome profit.-London Mail.

Reorganization OF the New York. New

publication of its methods from within
must be hurried up. or the government
will take a hand in the matter to see
what can be effected from the outside.
This was made plain by Attorney Cen
eral McReynolds yesterday. in a confer
ence with Howard Elliott. chairman of
the board of directors. and John w. III.
Grim. counsel for the railroad.
Mr.. McReynolds has taken the position
tn several antitrust suits that if he can
accomplish the end desired by the De
partment without resort to legal pro-
ceedinss and their inevitabl delays, the
better for the public at large. He has
been especially concerned about any un-
necessary disturbance to the transporta-
tion system of the New England states,
