several years ago said a New Orleans riceman I made the ac quaintance of a very quiet young fel low of the name of Jamison who was staying at the same family hotel I had known him for several months be fore I discovered his occupation and when he incidentally mentioned it one evening I -was genuinely startled He was a professional collector of orchids There are only two others in the Unit ed States and less than a dozen in tho world Jamisons customers were wealthy orchid faddists and be made regular trips for them to South Amer ica He had also been to Africa and Java but the Amazon country was his favorite stamping ground It was a strange life and after the ice was brok en he told me some wonderful storiea of adventure The plants he collected were not the kind we ordinarily soe at greenhouses and esteem as such great rarities his prizes were freaks of the floral world far too difficult to secure to ever get into the open market If you have ever given any attention to the subject you know of course that the variations of the orchid both as to shape and color are almost infinite Jamison told me he bad seen them aping nearly every form of insect life Some would resemble enormous dragon flies with gorgeously tinted wings oth ers would take the shape of beetles and still others seemed like magnificent moths The region wbere the finest specimens were found was rank with fever and alive with all sorts of venom ous reptiles Jamison described it as the most beautiful and most horrible country in the world The business was more or less of a gamble he said and the collector was never absolutely certain about what lie brought home The net result would be a lot of dry shriveled bulbs which might develop into superb blossoms and might put forth nothing but a few insignificant buds Three fourths of the find was usually lost in transit Jamisons health had broken in his queer trade and he was resting when I met him About the time I left Baltimore he went to New York to arrange for another trip to the tropics and I have never heard from him since If he is alive I sup pose he is still scouring the jungles for the plutocratic conservatory New Orleans SAGACITY BROUGHT A FAT FEE louns Surgeon Did Not Liaugli nt His Patients Iniajjinary Ailment It is well known in medical science that imagination plays an important part both in ailment and cure One of Philadelphias most successful young sui geons recently demonstrated this in a rather ridiculous manner The Presi dent of a local financial institution has for some time been laboring under the delusion that hair was growing in his throat He visited doctor after doctor and they all laughed at him The thing is preposterous they said after care ful examination But still the man in sisted that they were wrong and work ed himself into a condition bordering on nervous prostration Finally he went to the young surgeon in question who at once decided upon a plan of ac tion Ill fix you all right in a jiffy he said Then he went into an ante room snipped a couple of hairs froin his wrist and fastened them to the end of an instrument Returning to the pa tient he inserted the instrument down the mans throat gave a little jab and pulled it out again There were the hairs sure enough It was a stroke of genius for the man with an imaginary complaint at once resumed his normal condition and the young surgeon was rewr ied with a fat fee Philadelphia Record Condiments and stimulants are not really foods They are simply whips to appetite or digestion The Douglas Shoe The best advertised and consequently the best known shoe ib the world to day is undoubtedly made by the W L Doug las Shoe Co of Brockton Mass The one idea of this company has always been to sell a shoe for 350 which equals in ev ery way the 3 shoes of any other con cern They are able to do this on account of there being no middle mans profit as the goods are sold direct from the factory to file wearer In sixty of the principal cities of the country they have their own retail stores The goods are made in all sizes aud widths and few shoes equal them for style and durability The factory at Brockton employs over 1100 hands and all labor troubles are settled by the State Board of Arbitra tion Nothing but union labor is em ployed and pay about the best average wages of any shoe workers in the United States The factory pay roll amounts to 17435 per week This company makes shoes for men only and it is their proud boast that over one million men wear them Denver Colo Past Vinegar taken with food greatly de

Agents Department N Y MOB BTJLE IN -AKRON ATTEMPT TO LYNCH A NEGRO IN AN OHIO TOWN Lockup County Jail and City Bnildinj Successively Stormed by the Crowd Scenes of Kiot and Bloodshed in Which Two Persons Are Killed A mob of several thousand frenzied persons in Akron Ohio infuriated over an assault upon the little daughter of Mr and Mrs Theodore Haas by Louis Peck the taty prison a colored man searched the county jail and the old court house of bul for the negro engaged in a battle lets with officers of the law set fir to Columbia Hall adjoining the city build ing and threatened to destroy the latter structure Peck -was arrested Wednesday and trouble caused the murmurs of gathering sheriff socretly to trnusfe the prisoner to Cleveland The report that be bad confessed spread rapidly and the mob gathered soon after dark It was about S30 oclock when the mob surged down the street to the city pris on With a shout from the leaders the doors were battered down and a rush made for the prisoner The officers of fered no resistance and to satisfy the mob that Peck had been removed piloted a coinniktec in a search of the cells and building Tiie search was fruitless and with a yell Now for the county jail give us the nigger and we will deal with him a rush was mode for the latter building and it was soon in the hands of the fren zied crowd After a thorough search of the private apartments the mob started to batter down the big iron doors Dep uty Sheriff Stone mounted a chair in front of the prison doors and implored the crowd to disperse giving his word that Peck was not within He offered to allow a committee to make a search from ip to bottom and this satisfied the crowd that the negro had been smuggled away Then the mob rushed across the street and forced open the doors of the county court house The building was soon packed and all rooms searched except those of the treasury department A start was made to tear off the iron doors of the latter department but this was soon abandoned and the mob rushed back to the city prison crying for the blood of Peck Hundreds forced their way into the jail for the second time insisting that the negro was there somewhere Mayor W E Young hastened to the building and mounting the steps called upon the crowd to disperse pledging his word that the prisoner had been escorted out of town Cries of indignation greet pd the executives announcement and he was denounced on all sides for alknving the colored man to escape the clutches of the mob At 10 oclock the mob began to attack the city prison for the third time In the excitement someone fired a shot which wns followed by a fusillade The officers in the building appeared at the windows and began to shoot over the heads of the people A man armed with at the officers a shotgun leveled his weapon cers and they wore soon made the target for the mobs fire An indescribable Beene followed Several of the policemen fell wounded others were struck by bricks- and other missiles hurled by the mob and the return lire of the laws offi cers wrought havoc in the ranks of the mob It is certain that thirty or forty persons were wounded in the melee and two are known to be dead Following the shooting Columbia Hall was set on fire and within a short time had burned to the ground This building adjoined the city prison and the flames were soon communicated to the jail Not content with firing the buildings the mob determined to prevent the firemen from attempting to stay tho progress of the flames The hose was cut at every op portunity and one fireman was shot CONGER INDICTS CHINA Saya Imperial Cavalry Bombarded tfcxs lactations A long dispatch from Minister Conger was received at rir State Department in Washington MonJy iiht giving a de tailed report of tljfc condition of affairs in Pekin since Jmo 20 Mr Conger said that a few days after the fall of Taku forts the broke off communication with the foreign ministers and gavp orcers that the diplomats leave the city Believing that to do this meant certain massacre Mr Conger goes on to state the ministers refused to vacate thereupon the imperial government or dered the imperial forces to attack in force the legations He says that failing to take the lega tions by infantry attack the Chinese troops brought artillery into play and for over three weeks the legations were sub jected to continued heavy bombardment The Pekin imperial army made repeated and determined attacks and attempted to carry the legation defenses and it was only through the gallant and heroic stand of the marine guards that the Chinese failed lo capture the legations The por tion of the message outlined above Avas suppressed by the department The Government has been anxiously waiting to hear from Mr Conger and while the revelation he makes is start ling the officials were prepared for just what they got Mr Congers statement that tho Chinese made a desperate at tempt to exterminate the foreigners the night before the relier army arrived in dicates that the Chinese knew the foreign army would take the city in a few hours and that they wanted to destroy all evi dence of their duplicity by killing the foreigners As fhu imperial government directed the attacks on the legation which constituted a declaration of war it is said that no peace overtures will be ac cepted which do not embody a complete surrender Odds

Priest Fined for Bevealinc Secrets Confided to Him A case recently decided by the Nintt Chamber of the Civil Court of the SeirK would have served Boccaccios turn ad mirably The matter however roman tic is nevertheless a very serious one especially to certain sections of tb community for it concerns nothing less than the inviolability of tbe confession al By the legal tribunal above named the Abbe Breton vicaire of the Cathe dral of Meaur was fined 200f and costs for having betrayed secrets confided tc him in his character of confessor Faci Is a thousand times stranger than fie tion and never surely had the grav lawyers of tbe Paris bar a more curi ous case brought before them Th story is briefly this Pere Elisee an ex Franciscan monk while still within th pale of orthodoxy had once a quartei Df an hours interview with a younj lady Mille L in a convent parlor bei brother and sister being present It was a case of love at first sight Th pair never met again but entered into correspondence we gather of an inno cent but sentimental nature After a time Mille I grew uneasy and her confessor the said Abbe being absent she poured out her heart to him in writ ing of course under the pledge of se crecy She was bidden to hand ovei to him the whole of the tender missives which were straightway handed over to his superiors Then followed a verita ble earthfluake The case for the defense was based npon the fact that the young ladys con fidence had been given in writing and to the Abbe in his capacity of friend rather than of priest This view the court would not entertain for a mo ment holding that the role of eonfessoi Is not confined to tbe confessional box Laws moreover alike eeclesiasticaJ arid civil were adduced in point ac cording to the Constitution of Pope Benedict XIV 1745 any priest vio lating the secrecy of the confessional ie Suspended from his functions Th civil law on the subject of secrets con fided professionally whether to priest or laymen is still more categorical Bj no consideration of interest public oi private is the violation of such secrecj held excusable London News Decidedly Unusual Editor Has this mysterious disap pearance any
