He Forwarded an Eye to Be Examin- ed for Color Blindness. From the Pittsburg Dispateh. It is reported that a short time ago an order was issued cn one of the lines of the Pennsylvania company for all section men to come to the office on a certain day and have their eyes examined. The fol- lowing day a number of men appeared and passed the examination. Just before the man who had charge of the tests left the office a messenger boy came hurrying in with a small package neatly tied up and addressed to the eye inspector. The latter cpened it, and was surpristd to find a glass eye wrapped up in tissue paper, and also an old-fashioned silver watch. The con- tents of the package proved a puzzle to the inspector until he unfolded a hastily scribbled note, which, on being decipher- ed, was found to read as follows: “Oye inspector: Dear Sir—The day before yes- terday at nune I got word to cum down and have me ise looked after for culur plans for a px ed for by said umissiouers, known in highways. nd opens up others in sald widening Brandywine street. h of said map as shows the nthe for the in- red this 2d Interested In Hy. req petres with vt houl Of stil pe hy this court showld n aid net of Counress: Pros tier be published in The i six times and in_ th once before sid 1th a By the court.

From the San Franclaco Argonaut. The echoes of the international yacht- ing fiasco are still ringing around New York. Since it has become generally known that Mr. Iselin offered to resall the second race and that Dunraven declined the offer, those few who upheld him have thrown up the sponge, Since then there is no one to de- fend him. Even the anglomaniacs at New- port have turned against him. This is the most unkindest cut of all. When the racea were over, Lord Dunraven and his daugh- ters went aboard Frederick Vanderbilt’s yacht, the Conquerer, and left for New- Pert. While there they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt at their cottage, Rough Point. Such was the frankly ex: pre-sed criticism of Mr. Vanderbilt for be- coming the host of Lord Dunraven, after “An act t ways in the out sid court praying the right of way for t Within the limits owned lumbi: ed to publ which ‘is included within the 8 OF resery: tions laid out by said Commissioners, on the. ma known as “section one" of the plans Rent syste cf highways provided f Of Congress.

When Mrs, Vanderbilt got up a dinner in honor of Lord Dunraven, she was astound- ed at the number of declinations she 1e- ceived from men, and succeeded, with great difficulty, in getting up a corporal’s guard to balance the women whom she had in- vited.

In accordance with that recommendation, a meeting was held in the First Baptist Church of Macon, Ga., on September 27.

I was thinking out loud. Somebody has bor- rowed Rob for a ride, and a hard one, but he seems to have brought him back in good condition. I wonder who it could be!” Elsie tugged gently at Will's sleeve. “The tramps on the mountain,” whispered. “Wait a while,” returned Will softly. “I thought of them, too. When I get a chance I'll ask your father all about the matter, and I'll tell him about those two.”” Mr. Warren said nothing in reply to the dcctor’s question. He felt certain that this episode was in some way ccnnected with the tragedy on Baker mountain, but he she The Catchall Was Empty. had no suggestion to make regarding it. He was greatly given under all circum- stances to keeping his own council, and at present he was wholly convinced that wis- dom and safety dictated silence. The doctor unhitched the horse and led him to the barn. “It's the oddest case of horse stealing I ever knew,” he said; “there are just two points about it that are certain; first, that the horse was ridden hard, and, second, that he went to the north, and not toward the village. But who did it, and why? It’s no use to speculate without a clue either to motive or person.” Mr. Warren had gone to the barn with the doctor, and was helping him rub Bob down, when he suddenly remembered the article that he had dropped into the catch- all in the spare room. He had not looked at it; he had never seen a diamond in his life at close enough range to know ‘vhat it was like, but he had read how such jewels sparkle.’ There was a vague impression in his mind, too, that diamonds sometimes shone with their own light. What if the eyes of his wife or Golding should be at- tracted by a flash from that commonplace catch-all hanging beside the old-fashioned bureau! It would be the same if his wife saw it, for she would innocently remark upon it, and then Golding would know. “Doctor,” said Mr. Warren, “I think I'd better step in and see how Martha's get- ting on. You don’t need me, do you?” “Certainly not. Go on. I'll join you in a few minutes.” Mr. Warren hung the lantern on a peg and hurried from the barn to the house. “Tt ain't at all likely to be a diamond,” he thought, trying to fortify himself against disappointment; “but whatever it 1s, that man Golding sha'n't have it if I can help it. I don’t believe he has any right to Freeman Dutton’s property, and if Freeman gets well, ard that proves to be a diamond—I'll give it to him, of course. Elsie and Will were in the sitting room, and Mr. Warren looked in to see if Golding were with them. “J want to speak to you when you get a chance, Nick,” said Will. “All right; hang around a while longer,” he responded, and hastened on to the spare room. Golding sat in the chair near the window. Mrs. Warren was nearer the bed. Neither had said a word since Mrs. Warren had re- jected Golding’s plea. Mr. Warren entered rather abruptly, and both looked up at him with inquiry in their eyes. ‘othing’s happened, I s'pose," he said, glancing furtively at the red and white catch-all. “The doctor is going to stay here tonight.” : “I'm glad to hear that,” said Golding, “and at the same time I suppose it means that Freeman's condition is critical.” “He hasn't told me anything definite about the case,” responded Warren, won- dering when Golding would leave, and how he could be made to go without further dispute. There was no gleam from the wall beside the bureau. Whatever Mr. Warren had dropped there had not been aiscovered, and his fingers itched to take it forth and’ examine it, while in his heart he kept repeating that in all probability the article was some trifle of no value. A diamond loose in a vest pocket! It was ab- surd, of course, and yet he must satisfy himself. Golding did not stir, and Mr. Warren sat down. The minutes passed in silence until Dr. Nason returned. Then Golding rose and approached him. “I understand you are going to remain through the night,” he said. “Is there any chance that the patient will be conscious before morning?" “I don’t like to say no,” replied the doc- tor, “but the chance {s very remote.” “Is he likely to be delirious, and talk un- consciously?” “I won't say that it fg likely, but that is more probable.”” “Well, doctor,”” olding spoke with respectful earne: ‘anything he might let drop in consciousness. or delirium is likely to be of the greatest importance to me. Couldn't you let me know if he be- gins torave? I shall be at Mr. Newcombe’s house, and I would come ‘up at once. If Freeman were conscious, I should ask him one question only, and he would a me, I know he would. Matters of the great- est consequence both to myself and him might be revealed in his delirium. Won't you send for me if he falls to talking?” When Golding was about midway in this appeal Mrs. Warren cautiously plu doctor's sleeve. He did not tur any other indication that he was aware of her touch, but he had felt it and thought he understood it. “If the patient were delirious,” he an- swered, “there might be danger of exciting him, and if he were conscious, your ques- tion might be just calculated to disturb him. Asa physician I must look after the ysical needs of my patient first.” and G “But I wouldn't get in the way,” urged Golding. “I'd simply stand here and listen.”” Again Mrs. Warren plucked the doctor's sleeve. He frowned severely. The War- rens were his friends, and the silent man on the bed was his patient. What he al- ready knew of the affair on Baker moun- tain was sufficient to show that a dark mystery hung about this man, and in Mr. Warren's relation of the discovery that murder had been attempted, there was enough to suggest the possibility of scrtous trouble for the family. There was no tell- ing how Golding might distort any de- lirlous utterances of the patient into state- ments that it would be dificult, perhaps impossible, for Mr. Warren to meet. And yet, if he himself were present, what harm could follow? It was only too plain that Mrs. Warren did not want Golding to re- main by the patient's bedside. “I shall bear your request in mind, the doctor. “I cannot make any more nite promise than that.” Golding looked as if he would like to ar- gue the matter, but he refrained and slow- ly left the room. Warren started toward the bureau, but the ddctor had taken his station there and was working over bis medicine case. So Mr. Warren followed Golding to the door, glad to be assured that his troublesome visitor was going at la You seem tg have got an ally in that doctor,” said Golding before the docr closed upon him, “but things will come my way, Mr. Warren. I don't make any threats. I merely suggest that after you've slept en It, you make up your mind to deal con- fidentially and frankly with me.” “I don’t see any call for being confiden- tial with you,” responded Warren, “and when you've got any business with me you'll find me square.” Golding scowled discontentedly and de- parted. “Nick,” called Will from the sitting room, ‘don’t you want to hear something that may be a clue to this mystery?” “Mystery? What mystery?” asked War- ren uneasi he entered the room and y shut the door behind him. “Wh: the assault on your—your friend, I suppose he is even if you did p The Cabin Was a Mere Ash Heap. gun at him, and the borrowing of the doc- tor’s horse.” “Oh,” said Mr. Warren with an appear- ance of relief, “that, eh? well, what's your clue? and I saw two men who looked like tramps on the mountain this evening when we came down. One was a darkey. er saw either of them hereabout be- fore. “Is that all “Yes, and I admit it isn't much, but @oesn’t the fact that two strange char- acters were lurking about suggest an ex- planation of what happened at the cabin?

All I know is what the folks down the street got from Turner and King.” It seemed best to Warren that Will should be informed correctly as to 50 much of the story as had become public, so he told him about finding Dutton on the floor, bound, strangled, apparently dead, and of the later event wherein Mrs. Warren posed as rescuer. “This Mr. Golding,” he concluded, “has been all-fired excited about the thing this evening. I don’t suppose he’s to be blamed, but he has sald some pretty Harsh thing: I won't repeat ‘em because he'll likely think differently in the morning. I guess the doctor expects to pull Dutton through all right.” It was clear encugh to Will how a stran- ger like this traveler might suspect Mr. Warren of the foulest crime, and he thought how much stronger that suspicion would be if the little episode of Dutton's | call at the house were known, but Will kept these reflections to himse Warren evidently had confidence in him to say nothing that might alarm Elsie or stim- ulate damaging rumor. As soon as his conversation with Will You Lie, You Thicf. was at an end, Mr. Warren returned to the sick room. Only his wife was present, with the unconscious invalid, the doctor having gone to the sink in the Kitchen to prepare some part of his remedies. Mrs. Warren, following the doctor's instyuctions, was busy tearing up some shecting. Her hus- band went straight across the room to the bureau and extended his hand toward the catch-all. ‘Then he stopped abruptly and drew back. ‘The catch-all was empty. Mr. Warren repressed the exclamation that leaped to his lips, and, moving as if he were but half awake, put his fingers into the flimsy little receptacle and felt all about it Martha,” he safc, in tones that quavered in spite of himself, “where—when—I mean, what did you do with this?” He raised the catch-all from the nail snd held it in his hand as he spoke. Mrs. Warren gave an indifferent glance at the article and answered: “The doctor thought It would be handy for something or other about his work.” “Yes, but—it’s empty, Martha. “Of ‘course, Nicholas! Whatever makes rou—" YGhe checked herself in the middle of a gentle reproach, and went to her husband, putting her hand on his hot brow. ‘ “Poor dear,” she said, soothingly, “every little thing that isn’t just as usual puts you out, doesn’t it? I'm so sorry, but I ton't wonder. You must go to bed. A woman can endure these things better than a man, 2nd I must stay by the be “] s'pose I am put out,” he respond2d, more steadily, and he replaced the catch-all, “but what did you do with what was in it?” “I? Oh, nothing. Dr. Nason asked if there was anything of value in it, and when I said no, he threw the stuff away some- where out of the window or into the fire- place. I didn't notice where, particularly.” “All right,” said Mr. Warren, away to conceal his agitation, “it’s of no consequence.” Dr. Nason came in just then, his grave face showing no evidence of having anything but his professional duties in his mind. Mr. Warren looked searchingly at him as he passed on to the bureau. How simple it might have been to ask the doctor wh2re he had thrown the contents of the catch-all, but Mr. Warren could not ask it. Why? He asked himself this question, and his answer appalled him by its revelation of the com- plex situation in which he was Involved. Golding had said that no man could resist the temptation of Dutton’s diamonds, mean- ing, of course, if he saw them. What if that hard little article that he had taken from Dutton's pocket and dropped into the catch-all were the “president,” the most valuable jewel doubtless in the collection? Suppose Dr. Nason had seen it, was it not inevitable that he should yield to the temp- tation of sight, when himself, Warren, was all of a fever with desire for what he had not seen—to keep it from Golding and for Dutton, he hastily added to himself. On the other hand, suppose the doctor had tossed it out without noticing {t. Ques- tions would raise others that Mr. Warren turning. shrank from discussing. The one thing he wanted above all, not excepting unlimited diamonds, was that no inquiry should be made into the past of this unconscious suf- ferer in the spare room. One question would be likely to lead to another, until the whole truth would have to be told’ or avoided by a series of falsehoods, that weuld bring perhaps greater ills than the truth. He would seek for the diamond, for such he was now persuaded that it was, secret- ly, for it did not seem possible that Dr. on could have possessed himself of it without showing some sign. Before morning another thought came to Mr. Warren as he tossed restlessly in bed. Little sleep had visited him, and he felt as day drew near that he cared nothing for it. Just at it was growing light he rose and cautiously left the house. He took the road up Baker mountain that led to the site of Sam Springer’s cabin. It would doubtless be found now a mere heap of cold ashes. Who cculd tell what a search there might bring ‘orth? Mr. Warren took along a rake and a spade, and he hurried as if again a human life depended upon his prompt arrival at the scene. In the gray light of morning one glance wis sufficient to show him that he had ceme too late. ‘The cabin was, indeed, a mere ash heap, but the flaky ruins had already been pulled over, and swept up, and raked, and redis- tributed, until it was patent that not a square inch of the surface on which the cabin had stood had been left uninspected. What sounded like a scornful chuckle came from the thicket at his right. Mr. Warren turned toward the sound, but saw nothing there. Approaching ‘footsteps caused him to turn further about, and then he saw Golding hurrying up the path; he, too, armed with rake and spade. Warren waited for him without stirring and with- out a word of greeting. Golding stared at the ash heap. “So you've got ahead of me!” he cried with a horrible oath. “No! answered Warren, raising his spade to defend himself, “that’s as I found “You lie, you thief! shouted Golding, and he charged upon the mountain farmer with his spade raised to fell him. (To be continued tomorrow.) ———__ Edison Burned a Thousand Letters. From the Philadelphix Led, Thomas A. Edison went back to his house in Orange, N. J., last evening. He spent the day very quietly in the office of the Edison Electric Light Company. As he did not have anything in particular on his hands, and wasn’t wrestling with any big problem, he just sat around and talked to President William D. Marks and the men. He is a most unassuming man, without any trace of big head, and enjoys a good story with all the heartiness of a boy in college. He told Professor Marks more strange and wonderful things that he had come upon in his laboratory work than the pro- fessor would have believed if he had heard them from anybody but Edison. Now and then he would flash out with one of his ideas, and Professor Marks would realize that there was a g.ant at play in his office. While, as president of the electric com- pany, Professor Marks began to dispose of a pile of correspondence, Edison told a story of considerat.on that few busy men would have for the.r stenographers. “I get forty or fifty personal letters a day,” said he. “Peopie write to me from all parts of the world—not about my busi- ness, but their own. My stenographer wage sick for six weeks, and the letters piled up, a couple of thousand of them. I didn't have any time to open them myself—other people's business, you know—so I left them there. By and by the stenographer got weil; but just before he came back I took the letters and burned them. He couidn’t attempt to go through 1,000 letters, could he?” Professor Marks’ stenographer was im- pressed by the thoughtful act, but was also much shocked. i “Oh, nothing ever came of it,” explained the wizard, easily. see The Sun’s Lively Molecules. From the Nineteenth Century. The sun is doubtless in the main a great globe of gas, although so intensely com- pressed in its central parts that they may be in®a thickened or semi-viscous condi- tion, The gravitating attraction of the sun’s mass is ever tending to generate a down- ward velocity in the gaseous molecules, situated in any part of it, toward its cen- ter. At the same time, the radiation of heat at Its surface diminishes the upward counterbalancing pressure. This allows the molecules to be actually more or less drawn inwerd. Their individual average velocities are, upon the whole. increased. Their knocks against each other become more viole temperatu at first s ed t and generate an increase of ‘And the result, which might to be almost paradoxical, is 2: That the sun, as its surface eat away (Which so far is a cool- Ss), may nevertheless, through its nt contraction, generate a higher temperature by the flercer clashings to- gether, or knocks of its molecules, as they are drawn inward.

Now that Durrant, the suspected mur derer of Blanche Lamont in San Francisco, has told his story on the witness stand, and has made answers to all the accusa- tions implied by the cross questions of the Prosecution, an impression exists amoi those who have watched the trial cise that there is something to come which will perhaps have more effect on the minds of the eu nent = Seeders guilt or innocence lefendant than an: zone before. ything that has ‘his feeling is due to the confidence wi which District Attorney Barnes put a es of startling questions relating to a conver- sation held by Durrant with a newspaper reporter, Miss Carrie Cunningham, at :he county jail within the past week, and also touching on the address and indorsement of 4 certain envelope, waich may or may not have contained a confession. The prosecution witnesses will seek to show by their testimony that Durrant made admissions which destroy the whole fabric of the defense. These alleged admissions are taken by the prosecution as coming from the one person on earth who knows ail that oc- curred beneath the belfry of the Emanuel Baptist Church on the afternoon of April 3. The record of what passed at the county jail between Miss Cunningham and Durrant is thus told by the prosecution, which is in possession of the full facts: “On the evening of September 22 Miss Cunningham visited Durrant at the county Jail, and during the course of their conver- sation Durrant showed her a small envelope which bore the following address and in- dorsement: ‘Messrs. Dickinson and Duprey. To be opened in case I am convicted; to be returned to me in case I am acauitted.” Durrant told the young lady that the envel- ope contained a complete statement of all that had occurred at the Emanuel Bap-ist Chereh on the afternoon of April3. He said that it had been written in order that his attorneys might know the facts in the event of his being convicted of the murder of Blanche Lamont. On the following evening, September 23, Miss Cunningham again vis. ited Durrant at the county jail, and was there shown a large envelope addressed Ike the other and smailer one. Durrant told her that the contents of the other envelope had become jammed up, and that he had trans- ferred the written statement to the larger envelope. “On the morning of October 5 Miss Cun- ningham held a conversation with Durrant at the county jail, and during the course of that conversation, and in answer to ques- uons asked him by the young lady, he said that about 5 o'clock on the afternoon of April 3 he ascended the space between the ceiling and the roof of the Emanuel Bap- ust Church for the purpose of fixing one of the sun burners. While at work he heard a noise, which at once attracted his atten- tion. It seemed to come from that part of the building where the belfry is situated. He walked along in the direction from which the sound came and peered through the opening that connects the space above the ceiling with the interior of the belfry tower. While in this position he saw the body of Blanche Lamont lying on the sec- ond landing of the belfry stairs. “He repeated the details of the circum- stances, and added that Blanche Lamont was murdered on the second landing of th belfry stairs. Miss Cunningham then said: “Oh, it was from the second landing of the stairs that the blood dripped down and stained the cloth-covered picture frame on the floor below.’ Durrant replied that there was no blood on the cover of the picture frame, as ‘we have had the stains analyzed and find they were made by water, not blood.’ An official inspection was made of the cloth-covered picture frame referred to as being stained by blood. The inspection revealed the fact that the piece of the cloth cover, one inch by two inches in size, had been cut from the frame in the center of one of the largest blotches or stains. As this was not done by any one connected with tie prosecution,the inference is drawn that it was done by ‘some one interested in the defense, and that it was for the purpose indicated by Durrant’s alleged statement regarding the analysis. Sympathy and Condolence. At a meeting of the class of "99, George- town College, a committee, consisting of Livingston J. Cullen, Augustin Y. Green and Grafton L. McGill, was appointed to draw up resolutions expressing the senti- ments of the members upon the death of their beloved classmate and friend, the late Edmund J. Gorman. The committee re- ported and the class unanimously adopted resolutions reciting the dead youth's noble heart, amiable disposition and integrity of character, and tendering deep sympathy and condolence to his bereaved parents. —__—_.9—__— A Knoxville Merchant's Suicide.
