Romance of a Neckiace. SBome years ago an old Frenchwoman died in a poor part of Dublin, and her little effects were put up for auction. Among other odds and ends was a mecklace of dirty looking green stones, which did not attract much attention. However, a shrewd pair of dealers thought there might be “money In it” and decided on purchasing, clubbing together £5 for the purpose. On taking it to a well known jeweler he prompt- Iy offered £1,500, which sum they re- fused and sold the necklace of purest emeralds for £1,000 in London, whers Lord Rosebery on his marriage pur- ehased it for something like £20,000. The old Frenchwoman's mother had been attached to the court of France, and the emeralds had once formed part of the crown jewels.—London Answers A 8mooth Villain. “Before we were married,” she com- plained, “you always engaged a cab when you took me anywhere. Now ou think the street car is good enough me. “No, my darling, I don't think the street car Is good enough for you. It's because I'm so proud of you. In a cab you would be seen by nobody, while I can show you off to so many people by taking you In a street car.” “TOoU Gear: Furghie we If I gave you paln In saylng what I did.”—Chicago | Record-Herald. Penalty of Politeness, The “tradesman” has his troubles as well as his next door neighbor, the “buslness man.” One day last week a wholesale fish dealer in I'ulton market was appronched by a fashionably @ressed woman, who, after asking the price, decided to buy a pound of : smelts. Although it was not custom- ary to cater to retall trade, to be con- genial he decided to oblige her. “I would like to have them cleaned, it you please,” she sald. The fishman cleaned them. “Oh, yes,” the woman considerately | remarked after looking them over, “will you kindly take all the bones out?” “Certalnly,” said the man. But he sald things to himself as he went be- hind the Icebox and extracted the bones. After fifteen minutes’ labor he wrap- ped the smelts in 2 neat parcel, which be handed the woman. “I am 80 much obliged to you,” she sald. “You see, my cat absolutely re- fuses to eat fish If they are bony.” As the fashionably gowned woman walked out the fishman sald some more things.—New York Press.

The Potatc. ‘The rommon potato was at thv time of the discovery of America- In cultl vation from Chile, to which it 1s in digenous, along the greater part of the Andes as far north as to New Grana. da. It was introduced from Quito into Spain about 1580 under the name of “papa,” which in Spanish it still bears. From Spaln it found its way to Italy, Wwhere 1t became known as “tartuffa- lo,” and thence was carried to Mons, In Belglum, by one of the attendants of the pope’s legate to that country. In 1588 it was sent by Philippe de Sivry, governor of Mons, to the botanist, De L’Ecluse, professor at the University of Leyden, who in 1601 published the first good description of it under the name of “Papas peruanorum,” and stated that it had then spread through- out Germany. Recommended in France by Caspar Bauhin, the culture of the tuber rapidly extended in 1692 through- out Franche Comte, the Vosges and Burgundy. But the belief becoming prevalent that it caused leprosy and fe- ver, It underwent an ordeal of persecu- tion from which it did not recover un- til three-quarters of a century after- ward. 8ailors’ Side Lines. “Bvery sallor has a side line,” he said. “Many an old shellback makes more out of his side line than out of punching sails and chewing ropes. ‘Watch 'em come aboard for a long voy- age. Here's one with a camera, plates and developer. He'll angpshot spouting whales, Icebergs, porpolses, wrecks, anything of interest that turns up, for such pictures sell to magazines and newspapers, and he'll photograph his mates at so much a head.

The seamstress, passing her needls through and through the fabric on her lap, said: “I love tc sew white. I love to sew green too. Pinks are easy. So are most of the clear, pale tints. But black! But red! But shepherd’s plaia!” She threw back her head in horror. “Bright red, when you sew it, In- flames your vision, it angers you, it makes you nervous. Black stralns the eyes out of your head, the stitches in It are so hard to see. Black is a de- lpl’essh:g color too. But worst of all 1s that combination of black snd white called shepherd’s plaid. Work on shep- herd’s plald an_honr or twn and the ‘blnck and white squares will dance under your eyes like living things. Polka dots dance, too,” .she ended. “They polka; hence the name.”—New York Press. The Childish Voice Too Much. A good story is told of Bignor Foli, 1 the famous basso. Once upon & time he was singing ‘“The Raft” when a childish voice from somewhere in the | stalls suddenly piped in and attempted {to organize an Impromptu duet. Un- | fortunately the next line of the song was: “Hark! What sound is that which breaks upon mine ear?’ This so tickled the fancy of the great vocalist that he | burst into a hearty fit of laughter and ileftt: the platform, followed by the pi ,anist. Twice they came back and at- . tempted the song, and finally they had ‘to give it up In despalr, much to the amusement of the audienca. Many Kinds of Days In One. A mean solar day is the average or mean of all the apparent solar days in a year. Mean solar time is that shown by a well regulated clock or watch, while apparent solar time 1s that shown by a well constructed sun dial. The difference between the two at any time is the equation of time and may i amount to sixteen minutes and ‘twen- ty-one seconds. The astronomical day begins at noon and the civil day at the preceding midnight. The sidereal and mean golar days are both invariable, but one day of the latter 1s equal to 1 day 3 minutes and 56.555 seconds of the former. Toed the Mark.

SNOWDRIFTS DELAY FIREMEN. One Man Killed and Many People In- Jured In Boston Blaze. Boston, Feb. 1 —One man was killed and at least thirteen other people were injured in a fire that destroyed the .block occupled by Hunt Bros.’ de- partment store and several tenements in Tremont street, in the Roxbury crossing district. The monetary loss 'is estimated at $100,000. The dead man is Jacob Gold, who was overcome by smoke and died before medical as- sistance could reach him. Two of the Injured were taken to the hospital in a critlpal condition. They are Mrs. Kate Glass and her baby, only two days old. The fire department was hampered in reaching the scene by the huge snowdrifts that blocked the city -streets. Many thrilling rescues were made by the police, firemen and members of the Shawmut Athietic club, which wag holding a meeting in the block at the time the flames were discovered. The tenements were oc- cupied by twenty families totalling about 120 persons. PLEA IN ABATEMENT. Attorneys of John R. Walsh Reply to Indictments. Chicago, Feb. .—The attorneys of John R. Walsh, former president of the Chicago National bank and re- cently indicted on charges of misman- agement of that institution, have en- tered a plea in abatement. The plea was filed in the United States district court on the ground that certain explanatory evidence of- fered by Walsh had not been taken before the grand jury. It was claimed in behalf of Walsh that if this evi- dence had been glven to the jury no indietment would have been returned. The attorneys for Mr. Walsh de- clare that only such-evidence as would tend to procure an indictment was glven to the jury and that extenuat- ing circumstances which would have shown an absence of criminal intent were not submitted at the same time. FATAL STEAMBOAT RACE. Boiler Blows Up and Three Men Meet Death. . Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. ..—By an explosion of the boilers on the steam- er Parker near this city George Kelly, negro fireman, was killed and Will D.

IEROME FAILS TO WEAKEN STORY REITERATES HIS STATEMENT ON | CROSS-EXAMINATION BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY. New York, Feb. ' .—Stanford White, displaying a pistol, threatened to take the life .of Harry K. Thaw, according to the evidence of a witness intro- duced by the defense during the dcy. White had called at the Garden the- ater, where Evelyn Nesbit was play- Ing, on Christmas eve, 1903, and it was after he had been told the young lady had gone away with Thaw that White, after saylng: “Oh, that Pitts- burger,” was heard later to remark: “I'll find and kill that —— before day- light.” This testimony was offered by Ben- jamin- Boman, who was the stage doorkeeper at the time of the incident. Mr. Jerome conducted a searching cross-examination, but the witness held to his original story in every de- tall. He answered with an emphatic “no” when the district attorney asked him if he had received any compensa- tion from Thaw's attorneys. Delphin M. Delmas, the California lawyer, has assumed active charge of the Thaw defense and Mr. Jerome found in him a capable opponent. There were several interesting tilts between the two, Mr. Delmas always referring to his adversary as “the learned district attorney.” The Countgss of Yarmouth and Mrs. George Lauder Carnegle, sisters of the defendant, were in the courtroom. Mrs. Willlam Thaw accompanied them as far as the judge’s chambers. Mrs. Harry Thaw also came to the cham- bers. Eyewitness of the Tragedy. Martin Green, a- newspaper man, followed Boman on- the stand. Mr. Green said he was on the Madison Square Roof Garden the night of the tragedy, sitting at a table not more than twenty feet from the table at which Stanford White sat. He was asked as to whether, in his opinion, Thaw acted rationally or irrationally at the time, but District Attorney Je- rome objected on the ground that the witness was not an expert. After lengthy arguments over the legality of the question the court adjourned to 2 p. m., the attorneys in the meantime to look up on authorities on the dis- puted point. < As soon as Justice Fitzgerald ap- pearod for the afterncon sossion Mr. Jerome took up the argument against allowing the witness, Green, to an- swer the question as to whether in his opinfon Thaw'’s manner after shooting White was rational or irra- tlonal. The district attorney cited half a dozen decisions which he de- clared - upheld his contention that Green was not a proper witness to testify as to Thaw’s mental condition. Justice Fitzgerald overruled Mr. Jerome's objection and Mr. Green was directed to answer the question. “Thaw’s actionsg were irrational,” he declared. On_ cross-examination Mr. Green declared he was not an expert on in- sanity nor had he ever witnessed any sinilar tragedy, but that his testi- mony simply related to the defend- ant’s conduct on the night of the murder. Mr. Green stated that he was attempting to give his impres- slong ag they were formed at the time of the shooting. He said that he had heard' and discussed, also written, a great deal about the case. He had a very pronounced opinion in the case, but did not think it had influenced his writings. With Thaw on Fatal Evening. Thomas McCaleb, who was one of the Thaw companions at dinner the evening of the tragedy, next was called to the witness stand. McCaleb said he also was with Thaw on the Madison Square Roof Garden. He tes- tified that he saw Mrs. Thaw pass her husband a note ‘at the table at the Cafe Martin the night of White's kill- ing. : Mr. McCaleb sald he was walking about the room with Mrs. Thaw at the time of the shooting and did not witness the act. Immediately after Thaw came toward them and Mrs. Thaw exclaimed: “Oh, Harry, what have you done? Why did you do it?” Thaw, he said, replied: “I have saved your life.” - Then he kissed her. He also said other things, but in the all- pervading excitement of the place the witness did not hear them. There was a dramatic scene in the courtroom when Mr. Delmas called upon Mr. Jerome to produce the pa- per note which was handed Thaw Dy his wife at the Cafe Martin. Mr. Je- rome sat silent and would not reply. For the first time since the begin- ning of the trial the courtroom dur- Ing the afternoon session was crowded to its utmost capacity by the general public, a large portion of the audience belng women. Justice Fitzgerald's warning of the morning that there might be testimony that might well shock thelr sense of propriety seemed to Increase rather than decrease the number of women who sought en- trance to the courtroom.

Foreign Corporations Cannot Cond demn Land in Moatana. Helena, Mont.,, Feb. "—A decision of farreaching importance has been handed down by the supreme court when it held that nelther by the con- stitution or the laws of the state 1s & foreign corporation authorized to ex- ercise the right of eminent domain. The Helena Power Transmission company, organized under the laws of New Jersey, brought suit to condemn the lands belonging to A. N, Spratt, which are now submerged by the wa- ters backed up by the company’s dam across the Missourl. The suit was decided in favor of the company and Spratt appealed, winning the case. The court holds that the lands were wanted for a public use, but the com- pany had no right to condemn them. The court says the decision is only applicable to foreign corporations of the respondent’s character, the ques: tion not being considered with refer: ence to any other class or character. ENGINE BACKS INTO HOUSE. Minneapolis Family Narrowly Escapes Death. Minneapolis, Feb. - .—The family ot Charles Swedblom suffered a mirac: ulous escape from injury when a Great Northern freight engine backed into the family dwelling at 601 Polk street northeast and tore one-half of it com: pletely away. The house is situated across the street from the end of one of the company’s stub lines and in ‘some manner the engineer miscalculated the distance to the end of the sput and the engine continued across the street and into the dwelling. Six members of the family were in the house at the time of the accident Mr. Swedblom had just stepped ouf doors and when he saw what was coming he yelled to the inmates ta run to the kitchen and this is what saved them, that part of the house re maining uninjured.
