EEP FAITH IN MIRACLE-WORKING PICTURES
Other Nations and Peoples Similarly
Affected Portent loos IUui in
Time of AVar Affect it.
Fata of Atmhi.
It Is reported that the accident which
icfell the most sacred Ikon In Russia,
railed tho "Inversky Mother Goddess,
wane beina carried in urocesdion to give
additional sanctity to a religious service
connected with the war, has created a
rlnister Impression throughout the empire
ot the cattr. And no wordur. The greater
majority of the Russians Implicitly believe
in miracle-working pictures; hence, wheu
a cyclone rapaiies tho vehicle in which an
Ikon Is being carried, and deposits the sac
red article In the mud, It Is not surprising
to find that the contretemps should be re
garded as a manifestation of the divine
displeasure, and, as such, an evil omen In
regard to the fate of the Rutmluns arms
in the far east. In the uncertain volcanic
atmosphere which envelopes nations en
gaged In war, every throb of the political
ground is caught by the ear Instantly, and
It is thought to prophesy an issue. The air
of a troubled state soon becomes thick
with signs und prognostics; everybody be
comes un augur, a soothsayer, an Inter
preter of dreams; every event la hailed as
a bright or a black omen.
However,, some greut warriors have
been gifted with the ready wit which ha
enabled them to pars off what might
reasonably be supposed to be an unlucky
portent us an ausplclejus sign. For ex
ample, Leotychldes II of Gparta was told
by tils, augurs that his projected expedi
tion would fall because a viper had got
entangled in the handle of the city key.
"Not so." he replied; "the key caught the
viper." Then every school boy knows the
story how William the Conqueror fell to
tho ground on landing at Pevrrisey, and
how tills was turned to a lurky omen
either by William himself or a sailor cry.
Ing out that ha took "seisin" of the king
dom with both hands. Freeman tie thinks
that It la probably an adaptation of the
story of Caesar's landing In Africa, when,
having stumbled, he, with admirable pres
ence of mind, exclaimed: "Thus I take pos
session of thee, O Africa." When William
was arming for the battle of Hastings,
his squire, by accident, handed him the
baek-piejj before tho breast-plate, an evil
omen signifying flight, but the duke again
turned the mishap, to cheerful account.
"Yes, the last shall be first," he said;
that is, :h duke shall be king.
Others, however, there have been who
have met the evil omen half way, so to
speak, by throwing up the sponge as soon
os It occurred. On the morn of the san
guinary battle of Shrewsbury, HotBpur
called for hi- favorite sword, and on be
ing told that it had been left behind at
the village where he had spent the prev
ious night, he turned pale and said: "Then
has my plough reached its last furrow." I

of the Perolet was shattered forever, and
their greut captain was a corpse. At the
hoisting of the royal standaard at Notting
ham in the month of August, 1M2, some
delay took place. It was with difficulty
the standard could be fixed at the place
selected, the ground being solid rock.
Scarcely had this object been accomplished
by means of digging Into the firm stone
with the daggers and halberd points of the
soldiers, when a fierce iruat nf wind, aween. I
Ing with a wild moan across the face of
the hill, laid prostrate the emblem of
sovereignty. Many persons regarded this
accident as a presage of evil, and the
lowering sky of evening sympathised with
the general melancholy that lay on men's
spirits as, any further attempt being aban
doned, the standard was borne back into
the castle. In silence.
Napoleon's Invasion of Russia was In
augurated with a curious personal mishap,
followed by real, as well as metaphorical,
gathering clouds. On June 23, 1812. the em
peror arrived at the Niemen, the extreme
frontier between Russia and Prussia. As
he appeared on the bunka of the river at t
o'clock in the morning, his horse suddenly
stumbled and threw him. A voice cried
out: "This is a bad augury. ' If this oc
curred to a Roman general he would turn
bark." It Is not known whether it was the
emperor himself or one of his suite who
spoke the words. 'The next day," says an
eyewltnewa, "scarcely had the emperor
crossed the river than a d y 11 noise agitated
the air. Tbt light afterward became' ob
scured, the wind rose and the sinister roll
ing of thunder wus heard. The heavens had
a menacing aspect and the bare, shelterless
earth presented an appearance that filled
us with sadness. Some of those who but a
short time before were Inspired with en
thusiasm, were now shaken with fear, as
If they regarded these circumstances as of
evil omen. They believed that these fiery
clouds which were gathered together over
our heads were forbidding our entrance
Into Russia." At any rate, those wise nients of the army by yielding a

tended the burning of Moscow, wun us ap
peror and to content himself with that of
Francis I of Austria, this mysterious tree
yielded neither leaves nor fruit. In 184S.
when Germany unity essayed to reenn
stitul itself at Frankfort, it blossomed
forth once more, but only to languish again
when the political Utopia me ted away. In
1870 it celebrated the glorious achieve-
most
pulling consequences to the grand army.
Then, on the morn of Waterloo, the em
peror met with yet another ominous mis
hap. As Giulln. his page, was helping him
Into the saddle, he lifted the Imperial elbow
too suddenly, and Napoleon pitched over on
the off-side, nearly coming to the ground.
A vast significance was attached In the
old days to mere numbers, and an Innate
potency was supposed to be Inherent with
each of them. In this respect there ap
pears to have been an evil destiny lnfluen-
Whlle the Russian army was encamped
before Constantinople, after the signing of
the treaty of San Slefano and before the
assembling of the Berlin congress, great
alarm was manifested by the supersti
tious soldiery at a remarkable instance of
natural phenomenon known as the "fata
Morgana." On day, looking in the direc
tion of the Block sea there appeared In
the sky the counterfeit of fortifications,

EVEN MISSOURI IS DOUBTFUL
Outlook for Democrats Most Gloomy, Bay
Sonator Warrsn.
BRYAN MEN DO NOT LIKE! PARKER
Wyoming Man Says Indiana, Illnols,
New York, Kw Jersey, Connecti
cut Are Safely Republican, with
West Virginia Uncertain.
Senator P. E. Warren of Wyoming was
in the city yesterday on his way west
from the St. Louis exposition. Senator
Warren has been taking a mental survey
of the .political situation throughout the
country and Is very sanguine of the result.
He said of the situation in Missouri:
"A good many Bryan men In Missouri I
think will vote for Roosevelt this year.
The republicans are amalgamated, while
the democrats are disturbed by factional
differences. The democrats are apprehen
sive, but perhaps not as apprehensive as
the republicans are hopeful."
"What do you think the effect will be
on the gubernatorial situation?"
"That, of course, is quite another ques
tion. Folk's .record ha made him very
strong."
"What do you think of the situation In
Indiana?"
"I think there Is no doubt about In
diana. Where you find a democrat he Is
enthusiastic, but the conservative elements
of the republican party express no fear
of the result. I find the sentiment among
republicans very strong that the state will
be carried by a handsome majority. Our
friends on the opposite side have been
counting on Illinois as one of the doubtful
states, but Illinois will go republican by
such a large majority that the people will
be fairly paralyxed. Bcarcely a state in
the union Is more certain than Illinois.
Some Doubt In West Virginia.
"The only debatable ground Is West Vir
ginia. I am satisfied that New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut will go republican.
Roosevelt Is popular In New York. He
may not pltase tho radicals; they fear he
Is too strong, but buck of Parker Is Hill.
They fear Hill mure than they do Roose
velt. "I worked with Hill In the senate. He
cut a good many short corner when be
was in the senate that now rise up to con
front him and he lost a good many friends
among the people. This will be an opera
ting influence against Parker In that state
and I think there Is no fear regarding
the result. The republicans are not only
hopeful but confident. The fight there will
be on th gubernatorial ticket, but the re
publicans are hopeful of success."
"How la Maryland?"
"Maryland la conceded to be democratic."
"What Is the situation In Wyoming?"
"Wyoming Is strongly republican. We
have no factional differences there of any
Importance. There are always minor diffi
culties that crop out at the primaries, but
these wear thenuielves out before the election."
Another Voire from Missouri.
H. H. Marley of K a runs City, Mo., south
western passenger agent for the Michigan
Central, Is In the city. Speaking of the
political situation in that state, he taid:
"The republicans are very sanguine re
garding the national ticket. Tliere are a
great many democratic factional differences
on which the republicans are banking.
The republicans are united and they are
looking for a handsome plurality. On the
gubernatorial ticket sentiment l the other
way. Folk is strong. His prosecution of
the boodle cases has won the admiration
of the people and they think he will show
a plurality of 7,500 over the national ticket."
IF GUILTY HE IS INSANE
Only Wr In Which Banker Consider
President Perry Responsible
for Arson. ,
AH the banker who have been In at
tendance on the state convention for the
last two days have returned to their homes.
The Chicago men, with the exception of
Cashier Kent of the Fort Dearborn Na
tional bank, left on the first train east
Thursday, after receiving announcement of
the sale of the National Bank of North
America to the Continental National. They
figured the latter Institution would be able
to hold 50 per cent of the business of the
former and they were In hot haste alter
their share of the other half.
President Stlckney's guests returned early
Friday morning to St. Paul.
There Is a general sentiment among
Omaha bankers, which Is also held by state
financiers, that If ex-President I. N. Perry
of th National Bank of Nortu America U
guilty of arson, as charged, he has lost hi
mind. Under no other theory will they con
sider the matter. It Is stated he ha showed
evidences of falling mind for some time and
thut his authority In the bank has been
curtailed considerably In the last sixty
days.

Not n bird preceded Mm arrival to help a
cold bottle In entertaining a friend. Very
few birds came with Mr. Drexel either for
that matter. He tins just spent ten days in
the neighborhood of Cody In an earnest at

but he never ran any danger from the law
allowing only twenty-five birds a day to
each sun.

sun for some days. So does his face. But
the county clerk exudes an air of outdoor
vigor find untrummclcd joy that would
shame, a buckskin cayuse In the spring or
a barn with a new coat of red paint He
says he had a good time.
