 Questions May Arise.
 It is recognized that delicate ques- tions may yet arise about the Ten nessee's expedition, due to construc- ton by some of the belligerent powers that her gold cargo is contraband, and the officials desire that publicity be avoided as to the amount she carries.
 The Tennessee will be followed in a few days by her sister ship, the North Carolina, now at Boston, which will aid in the distribution of the gold.
 The $300,OO0 placed at Ambassador Pages disposal last evening was ar ranged for by the Bankers Trust. com pany of New York through it's London agency Vice President F. T. Kent of this corporation is in London and su- perintended the transfer of this sum to the American em mbassy.

been recognized from the very dawn OF history.
Emeralds flashed the shield of Aaron; the
Ptolemies of Egypt treasured them, and their
lapidaries knew the art Of engraving on their
hard surfaces the mystic symbols of their ancient
faith; the Theban tombs revealed choice emer
aids among their long buried treasures. while
Herculaneum and Pompeii have added their quota
to the greed of modern excavators. Nero that
half-mad monster who ruled the destines
of Rome used an enormous emerald for a mono

Cleopatra emeralds shone In verdant luster
Mt. Iabarah, In Upper Egypt, is said to have
been the source OF many of these ancient gems,
but centuries have passed since these prolific
mines were exhausted and modern jewellers must
now depend upon the western hemisphere for
their supply.
In the spoils Pizrrro sent to Spain were found
the first fine specimens OF American emerads
and thus revealed another source OF the

most valuable single emerald found in modern

her excellent singing voice.
After Wilhelm heard her sing he could not re-
sist her." is the saying with regard to the
moval of the kaser's opposition. She is not strfk-
ingly beautiful, but her pleasing appearance has
made her a brilliant star in the stodgy court of
the German empress. All the other women at
tached to the empress service have been in her
service since the early days of her marriage and
either are, old enough to be grandmothers
The countess best friend in her love affair has
been the Crown Princess Cecilie, whose brother
is the grand duke of Meklenburg. OF which the
countess father Is minister of state. Coming
from the same place to Berlin. and with the same
vvacity, good looks and pleasure in pretty clothes
and pquant society thev naturally formed an al
lance against the stiff and conventional sur
roundngs.
Countess Ina the royal bridegroom will confer
settlement upon his wife This is the "morgen-
gabe' (morning gifD from which the term NOR
ganatic" comes.
The marriage ceremony differs from the usual
custom in that the bride joins her right hand to
the bridegroom's left hand "a token OF their
unequal birth) and for this she cannot inherit the
estates OF her husband receive his royal name
Hence the day after the marriage he bestows
n new title upon her, according to the arrange
ments of the state, and financial settlement.
This morganatc marriage is considered Is
founding an entirely new family. The kaiser VIII
grant the family new name and Prince Oscar
will be paid lump sum instead Of his princely
allowance.
Morganatic marriages have from time to time
been attacked as equivalent to concubinage.
This is a mistake. for the whole system OF NOR
ganatic marriages has been built up by the
Protestant church to preserve the purity of the
marriage relation and at the same time preserve
the sanctity OF royalty
The royal bridegroom cannot marry again in
the lifetime OF his morganatic wife unless she Ia
regularly divorced
The children take the title and rank Of the
mother. but they invariably obtain high Office
and rich emoluments from the royal family when
they are grown and, as in the case Of the Tecks.
frequently marry into royalty.

once.

the statewide spirit of cooperation
shown this year. Every section OF the
state is showing lively interest in the
the exhibit departments. Fourteen
county and local fairs to date have
fixed their fair dates just prior to the
state fair, Oct. to 10. SO that the
pick Of exhibits at the local fairs may
be taken to the state exposition. and
the number OF individual exhibits will
be double that of any previous year.
