Agree to Give $100,000 to Man Whe Uses Divining Rod. Several Texas mine owners In com bination have contracted with Henry Zachary, a young man living at Lock hart, to go with them to Alaska to locate gold veins for them. The con tract covers a period of ten years, for which he is to receive $100,000. They believe that he has powers of divina tion and say that his abilities in this direction were discovered a year ago when he was taken to the gold fields of California and Colorado, where he unerringly located veins of gold. In Iierforming his wonders he carries with him a slender rod; in one end of which is set a piece of the precious metal, and as he passes over a vein this apparently connects the currents through his hands, which perceptibly quiver.

Mrs. Catt was chosen after Miss Susan B. fsas.Gaaaz omm? ofrr Anthony had declined the presidency because of her advanced age. The new president has ben prominently associated with the suffrage move ment in the United States for several years. She is one of two Americans to be elected this year to executive offices in te league, Mrs. Foster Avery of Philadelphia having been .elected secretary. Value in Unpunctuality. An English railway man. who work ed up from a very humble position, was never on time, and he declared that this characteristic was carefully olanned and cultivated. "Sharehold ers drop into a meeting," he said, "and find the chairman in his place and the business going on, and it confirms their impression that you are a party of nobodies who have come there for their convenience. I like to let them wait until everybody is there and till all the restive ones have asked, 'What are we waiting for?' and receive the answer, 'Mr. Forbes.' Then you come ia and they feel you are somebody, at any rate." Vegetarian a Superb Athlete. First among a late batch of candi dates to pass physical examination at the Annapolis naval academy was C W. Adair of Xenia, O.

Superstitious Negroes Fled Until It Was Removed. Deputy Constable Frank Fenn of Houston, Tex., went the other after noon to execute a writ of forcible ejec tion against a negro woman. He took with him two negroes who were to carry away the furniture. Fenn was absent a few minutes and when he returned his negroes were not to be seen. He got a glimpse of them about two blocks away moving at a very swift gait Thinking that perhaps the men had stolen something, he took after them. When stopped the negroes said that they would not work in that house, that It wa3 hoodooed. Being urged they told him they would return if he would go into a certain corner of the house and remove the hoodoo, which he would find tied up in a bag hang ing from the ceiling. The officer found the bag. It con tained bones tied up with kinky wool and hairpins. The woman said she could cast a spell over her enemies with it, because the bones were those of a black cat, while the wool was that shaved from' the head of a, negro born on Friday, the thirteenth day of the month. The negroes would not return to work until the officer had taken the bag of bones about a block away from the house, and even then they had misgivings as to whether or not it would be safe to touch anything in the house. Sugar Does Not Injure Teeth. There is a prevalent notion that if children are allowed to eat sugar they will have bad teeth as a consequence. There is no foundation whatever for such a notion. The negroes of the West Indies are excessive consum ers of sweets. They eat an enormous amount of sugar cane, molasses and raw sugar. Yet these people have par ticularly fine teeth. Whatever other injuries sugar may be capable of doing to the human system, it is very certain that it does not do any in jury to the teeth, either in old or young persons. Medical Talks. English Fighting Beetles. There are beetles In England (of the family known to scientists as Tel ephoridae) that are popularly called soldiers and sailors, the red species being called by the former name and the blue species by the latter. These beetles are among the most quarrel some of insects and fight to the death on the least provocation. It has long, been the custom among English boys to catch and set them fighting with each other. They are as ready for battle as gamecocks and the vic tor will both kill and eat his antag onist St Nicholas. Near Perpetual Motion. Lieut Hillbouse of the British navy writes thus of an old water wheel on the island of Cephakraia, off the west coast of Greece; "The peculiar part of it is that this wheel is worked by the sea, which is led through a small conduit the water tumbling down into a fair-sized hole, whence it disap pears into the earth. It thus seems as if perpetual motion can be ob tained here; but I believe, although I have never noticed it that too great an 'inrush of water will fill up the hole before it has time to absorb it alL" Imperial Japanese. Symbols. The three symbols of the imperial house of Japan are the mirror, the crystal aad the sword, and they are carried in front of the Emperor on all state occasions. Each has its sig nificance. "Look at the mirror and reflect thyself," or in other words, "Know thyself," is the message of the mirror. "Be pure and shine" is the crystal's injunction, while the sword Is a reminder to "Be sharp." Ne Longer "Faahoaa," Aa interesting piece of news reaches Paris from. Alexandria. It is that as a concession to French sus ceptibilities, the name "Fashoda" will disappear from the map. The scene of the last episode which placed the crown and seal to Britain's mastery of the Sudan J will henceforth be known as Cabak. ' Given Credit for Yalu Victory. ' Gen. Meckal of Berlin, formerly military instructor of the Japanese army, has received a telegram from Gen. Kodama, chief of the Japanese staJf. saying: "The Yala victory was won hy officers yoa instructed."

TROUBLE IN THE BALKANS. War Cloud Lowering in That Part ef ' the World. In his estimates for the annual budget of the Austro-Hungarian em pire, Count Goluchow8ki proposes the expenditure of many extra million dol lars on the army and navy. Until this startling demand for an increase was made everybody supposed that Austria saw nothing ahead of her which might disturb her peace, but immediately upon the submission of Goluchow8ki's estimates European politicians began to wonder for what trouble Austria was looking. By a process of elimination they finally ar rived at the conclusion that Austria must have designs on the Balkans. The Austria-Russia plan of reform for the Balkans has failed. Russia is sufficiently engaged in the far east to keep her hands tied. Austria feels that it is a propitious momeat to go ahead to Salonica. But Italy objects to Austria touch ing any part of Albania on the east coast of the Asiatic Italy herself feels that she has reversionary Inter. ests there. If Austria started to "re form" Albania, Italy would Interfere. Hence both Italy and Austria are now arming; and the annual Balkan war cloud has begun to lower. MARRIAGE HAS BEEN UNHAPPY. Husband Seeks Divorce from Daugh ter of Ex-Vice President Morton. The daughter of ex-Vice President Morton, who married Count Bosou de Perigord, is now In this country, xxKHESs ormoKW while her husband, who has since his marriage has assumed the title of Duke of Valencay, has applied to the Paris courts for annulment of the marriage. ' Vote on Vacation Question. The summer vacation In French high schools begins on Aug. 1 and ends on the last day of September. As July is a very warm month, U was suggested that it would be better to have the vacation extended from July 15 to Sept 15. The matter was put to a vote; 36,000 parents voted for the change, 26,000 against it Of the teachers, on the contrary, only 2,500 voted for the change and 5,300 against it On the assumption that the teachers .were wiser than the par snts it was therefore decided to leave matters as they are. Secret of Military Success. One of the favorite maxims of Gen. Grant and one certainly in accord with human nature, was that in every closely contested battle there comes a time when both sides are exhaust ed. When this condition arises, he said, the army that first breaks the lull and puts itself in motion is likely to win. A blow then is worth a doz en previous ones. Queen Believed in Evil Eye.

It fell, instead, upon thousands of union workmen in the hills, who, although engaged for the eight hour day, were ordered to cease work in those mines that supplied the offending smelters with ores. The result in many camps waa a walk out The succeeding result was .an at tempt on the part of the owners to reopen their mines with nonunion labor. In the part that labor and poli tics play in Colorado, the adminis tration of civil duties falls, In maay mining cities and towns, upon au thorities who are out of sympathy with nonunion methods. Thus the owners of mines . were harassed xln many ways. There were mysterious disappearances. People .unsympa thetic with the cause of the strikers were driven from communities. Final ly, mine buildings were blown up with dynamite, and mine workings destroyed. In this crisis the mine owners ap pealed to the governor of Colorado for protection. The situation was strained at three points in Teller county, where are the mining camps of Victor and Cripple Creek; at Tellu ride in San Miguel county, and at Idaho Springs in Clear Creek county. In the last place union workmen sus pected ot btoigktg up the Sun aad Moon mine property were driven from town by the citizens, of the alace. This drastic action Is worth noting, for, as a result of the high state of feeling In Colorado, It was upheld In the popular opinion. . At all events, txpops were not needed at Idaho Springs. , Gov. Peabody declared martial law in Teller and San Miguel counties early in December. Some of the mil itary proceedings in each of these counties appear to have been extreme but Gov., Peabody has declared that no defense of his actions is needed. Union leaders were arrested, and In some cases these leaders were deport ed. State courts were aoppealed to by members of the union who felt the power of the military law, but the rulings of these courts had no effect on the representatives of the state government. Injunctions were merely ignored. The governor con tended for these points: 1. That he had sole power to deter mine when a state of Insurrection ex isted in any county in the state. 2. That the courts had no power to interfere with his exercise of this pre rogative. 3. That he had the right to use the WMWWMWWWWMMWWMWMVWWWWWWWWAWWO Grazing Grounds Depleted.

Struggle in the East Shows New ncinoos necessary. i.'1?e.present war has demonstrated that In operations around harbor mouths torpedo boat destroyers and mines are useful both for the attack ers and defenders. Harbors, to be well defended, must be well provided with torpedo boats and mines. An attacking fleet directed against an 22? " ln belng" ,y,n In hostile harbor must likewise be well provided with torpedo boats and mines. But for the mastery of the high seas big ships which carry big guns are necessary. On the open ocean. when a 8torm Wows up torpedo flo. Ulla would be useless on a distance cruise. Big ships are necessary to protect commerce, to destroy commerce, and to convoy army bearing transports Ships which can carry big guns are nseful in joint land and naval at tacks. The Japanese naval artillery demoralized the Russian left on Nan shan hill and made the success of the final assault possible. But what kind of big boats arc best? The nresent Irfnrt nr k,i ahips or the present kind of armored wuiaen.' Ur could not some' new kind of big warship be adopted which would be better than either? The modern armored vessels are built tc resist shells namely, attacks above water. All their defensive arrange ments have been put above the water Una Torpedoes and mines attack, below the water in tha nni.in.t regions where no defense has been prepared. In naval operations near harbor mouths.where the use of mines and torpedoes is feasible, the offense has now distinctly gained the advan tage. The inventors must now de vise a better means of submarine de fense. Perhaps they will resort to diplo macy for one thing and obtain inter national assen-. to the proposition that no mine may bedald outside the three mile limit. Perhaps they will construct a new and more perfect tor pedo net to envelop the hull of the ship. Perhaps they will lighten the upper works of the ship and give ad ditional buoyancy to the whole, so that contact with a mine will not re sult in immediate sinking. Certainly they will hereafter furnish all ar mored ships with a more complete searchlight system to discover hostile torpedo boats, and a more effective rapid fire system todestroy them. Admirals will learn the lessons al ready assimilated by generals and will marshal their forces in more ex tended order, throwing before them a thicker screen of scouts. Made Rapid Rise to Fortune. J.

Gould's Corner on Gold There are several Black Fridays In history, but the blackest of all Is the Black Friday of Sept 24, 1869. Fred Eberlin, the noted sign painter, arch aeologist antiquary, sage and pantolo gist has dug up a lithograph of the quotation board of the Gold Room as it appeared on that fateful day. says the New York Press. It is a solema black-and-white affair black board and white chalk figures. But it Is a vivid picture of the most terrific day in Wall street history.

Says the chronicler: "No avalanche ever swept with more terrible violence than did the news of this telegram into the Gold Room." The treasury policy was to suspend the sales of gold.
