SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Old Doc Braney.

OIO DOC OTAney.
I remember old Doc Braney and in
fancy see him yet.
His lifetime won affection and his alb
sence brings regret
As I recall the way he smiled at every
boyhood in
And always cured it promptly with a
poultice or a pill.
But now when my hygienic state is
troubled with a twist,
Friend Doctor tells me must go and
see specialist.
No matter where the bother. in my
mechanism lies,
The oculist will say it's due to my de-
fective eyes.
The dentist says the ailment that fore
tells a harp and wreath
IL evidently caused by the condition Of
my teeth.
The man who sprays my throat de.
clares to me, beyond a doubt,
I'll never be quite well until he takes
my tonsils out;
While the chiropodist AYERS that all
my present woes
Are due to certain kinks in the forma.
ton of my toes.
Each one Of them will trace the source
of pain into some spot,
Which seems remarkable because it's
where the pain Is not.
And that is why in quest Of health I
go from door to door.
A scientific wilderness I patiently ex-
plore.
And long for old Doc Braney, with
his unpretentious skill,
Who gently smiled and cured me with
poultice or a pill.

On the eve of the Fourth Of July the
President has written the closing chap
ter of the great adventure upon which
tho United States was launched when IL

1t is the judgment OF the Administra-
ton that the declaration OF peace by

man Republic. with the signing OF the
peace resolution the Administration will
devote itself Immediately 10 the task
Of perfecting the peace. Involved In this
settlement Is the relationship OF the
United States 20 the rest OF the world
and the establishment OF its foreign
policy.
II can be said with authority that the
Administration + prepared with con

ment.
The President already has suggested

BAG HUNG IN STATEROOM

Special Despatch to TIE New YoHK HERAip.
CINCINNATI. July "A letter received
in Cincinnati to-day confirmed reports
that Col. William H. Donaldson of
New York, publisher of the BHybourd
a weekly theatrical Journal. was robbed
of gems valued at $4,000 and $500 In
cash while on the way from New
York to Boston with his wife on a
sleeping car.
The robbery took place last Thurs
day night in mysterious circumstances
in the stateroom Of the sleeper. Mr.
Donaldson, who up until two years ago
lived in Fort Thomas, KY, and who is
well known in Cincinnati and the coln-
try over. especially among theatrical
people. was beginning trip through
the New England States with Mrs
Donaldson as a celebration of their
thirty-sixth wedding anniversary.
Detectives are searching throughout
the United States for a pretty young
the Donaldsons's stateroom during the
Trip from new 1Ork 10 Boston. Mr. dnu
Mrs. Donaldson left New York at hiid-
night. going Immediately into their
stateroom. where they prepared to re-
tire. Soon after the train left New
York a young woman opened the door
Of the stateroom. She said EXCUSE
me-" and left the room.
The gems and the money were hang
ing near a berth In a bag. The incident
was not regarded as out of the ordinary
by the Donaldsons, who thought that the
woman simply made mistake.
The next morning when they arose
the bag remained, but the gems and
money were gone. Men in charge OF
the train. as we'll as police. we're noti-
fled at once, bur search for the wo-
man who entered the stateroom proved
futile.
Facts about the robbery were con-
ts,,ed in a letter from Mr.. Donaldson
to Nj Herman. editor Of the Bu1ooord
In Cincinnati. In his letter Mr.. Donald
son said he was mystified how anybody
could gain admittance to the 0tateroom.
but that circumstantial evidence pointed
to the mysterious woman.

COMBINE DIAMONDS AND ONYX
Fashion Now Reflects Mode Of Black
and White Which 10 Seen
in Dress.

The diamond is generally chosen for
engagement rings because the legend
Is that 1t strengthens the love of q
man for a woman. The fashion nowls
to ally 1t with onyx, rejecting the
mode of black and white which Is
seen in dress. Since onyx is supposed
to have cooling effect on lovers, 1t ls
well to have its influence cOunteracted
by diamonds for those who are super
stitious In regard to jewels. The
sparkle Of the diamonds against the
black surface of the onyx is striking
and this combination Is seen In many
articles of jewelry. A handsome
brooch Is made of large oval onyx,
with an interesting design Of diamonds
set in platinum worked In It. Hatpins
are nade of 1t. too; ring of onyx
with tiny band of diamonds crossing
1t where 1t Is Joined to the pin. For
pendants 1t is sometimes cut In little
squares and alternated with square
diamonds. Cigarette and fiat vanity
cases are made Of silver, striped with
bands Of onyx or white enamel and
onyx. Often pearls are added to this
combination, enhancing the effective
ness without disturbing the color
scheme.

How Old In MuaIc2

No one could answer this question.
Man has made music of kind prob
ably since he first discovered that two
solid substances brought in sudden
contact made noise. The drum was
probably the first instrument, and then
some kind of flute or whistle. Ancient
Greece had scale of notes similar to
those of today, and the first school
Of singing that We know anything
about. was founded by Pope Sylvester,
A. d. $50. Music has developed with
religion. The church has done more
to foster love for music than any
other institution. We cannot here go
into the general history Of the art.
There are many excellent volumes on
the subject which may be obtained at
small expense.

How Comet. Can Carry Live Germ.

Scientists now declare that comets
carry live disease germs. They further
state that 1t is possible for these
germs to travel to earth from other
worlds on the tails Of comets.
This is not so extraordinary as it
may seem, If we examine the facts.
What is comet? Scientists tell
us that most comets are pieces Of 9th
er planets which have been rent
asunder by some unknown cause. We
are further told that these comets
may contain innumerable millions Of
the germs which lie in all kinds Of
elements. and that microbes can re-
main inactive but alive for long
periods of time.
1t is possible for germs TO be whirled
through space In comet. and. under
favorable conditions. to attack human
beings and animals after reaching our
atmosphere.

IN DRAPED EFFECT
Improvement on Ultra Deoohsts
Dresses Is Manifest.
0ianer Gowns Cling at Hem, WhIls
They Are Full Over
the Hips.

It Is very interesting, writes Paris
fashion correspondent, to note what
Worth Is doing with regard to eve
ming dresses this season. This mai
son has always been celebrated for it,
gorgeous dinner gowns and toilettes
for ceremonious occasions. It Is not
here that one looks for eccentric mod
els nor for sensational displays, but
Worth sets the styles for women Of
refined taste, and so 1t is necessary to
look closely at what he designs.
This season he is showing very love
ly dinner gowns which have a draped
effect. Several of his best models
seem to cling at the hem while they
are full over the hips. In some cases
there is distinct train, cut In with
the dress itself.
This is a welcome innovation, and
one which likely will prove very popu-
lar. For long time past nearly all
our evening trains have been separate
from the dress-arranged in scarf
fashion and often in twin-form-one
at either side. Or we have had court
trains-these chiefly for wedding
dresses. But it is evident that Worth
intends to revive genuine trains, cut
with the dress and forming part of 1t.
Trains of this order are specially
suitable for matrons or for women Of
full figure. The picturesque scarf
train is also much in evidence, but 1t
will no longer be considered the only
possible.
One model represents some of the
latest ideas of the Maison Worth: ex-

MUST YIELD PART TO CROWN
Finder Of What 10 Known ~
Treasure eove.

Treasure-trove is money, plate, bull
lion, coin. gold or silver, found hid
den In the earth or other private place,
the owner being unknown. According
to Roman law, treasure found by a
man in his own land belonged to the
finder; II found In the land Of an
other, half was given to the owner Of
the land and half to the finder. In
Great Britain treasure-trove belongs
to the Grown, and concealment by the
finder IL an indictable offense. The
Grown, however, is In the practice of
paying to the finder the value Of the
property upon its being delivered up.
In 1885 the home Office of the British
government gave notice that the find
retain articles not required for any
national institution, subsequent to a
deduction of ten per cent; articles
required for museums, etc, are paid
for at their antiquarian value, less
20 per cent. The civil code Of the
province of Quebec, which is largely
based on the old French law, follows
the rule of the Roman law upon this
point. Article 586 says: 1.-THE owner
ship of a treasure rests with him who
finds 1t in his property; il he finds 1t
in the property of another, 1t belongs
half to him, and the other half to the
owner Of the property. A treasure is
any buried or hidden thing of which
no one can prove himself the owner
and which is discovered by chance"
