H FAMOUS SINGLE PEARLS. Shah of Persia Has One Delicate Gem IM Worth Over Half a Million. ||l t is not generally appreciated that |M re are enormous fortunes in single IM iris, and that a few individuals and 5 Jat potentates have jewels of this sort |H ich are literally worth a king's ranSa n. In all the world there is no more Hi nous pearl than the Tavernier, now in M > possession of the shah of Persia. M is remarkable gem came to this eastH i king by descent and is a genuinely narkable curiosity. It derives its ■ me from having been sold by the trav- ■ >r Tavernier 200 years ago to the then ■ ler of Persia. The price then was I 00,000. It is now worth more than 50,000, Another eastern king, the iman of ascat, has in his collection a pearl jrth $165,000, weighing 12)< carats, trough it the daylight can be seen, incess Yousoupoff's finest gem is wonrfully beautiful. Valued at SIBO,OOO, was first hoard of in 1620, when Georbus of Calais sold it to Philipt>lV of lain. Eighty thousand dollars is the iurethat it is approximated the pope’s arl would bring. One of Leo’s predessors became possessed of it in a mant , r which has not been told, and it has iscended in tegular course to the pres- | st incumbent of St. Peter’s throne. 6 This, so far as is known, exhausts the ®it of truly celebrated pearls.

press of Germany one made of 33 pearls which would bring easily $125,000. The Rothschild women have, however, gems of this sort that far exceed in value those of royalty. Baroness Gustave de Rothschild possesses one made up of five rows of pearls, the whole chain being valued at $200,000. Bareness Adolphe de Rothschild owns a circlet that in all probability would fetch even at a forced sale $250,000. Even more brilliant, because it has seven rows, is the necklace of the dowager empress of Russia. The gems, however, are not quite as fine as those in the Rothschild- collection. The casktt of this royal lady is the most famous in the world from a gem point of view. Hardly second to it is that of the empress of Austria, whose black pearls are noted throughout Europe fbr their extreme beauty and rarity. What has become of the white pearls of the Empress Eugenie, sold at the close of the Franco-Prussian war, has never been made known. The value of these wasssome $60,000, and they were gathered together in a very beautiful necklace that frequently graced the neck of that unfortunate queen.—New York World. • Breathing:. Learn to breathe properly and systematically and rhythmically and you may overcome insomnia, weak lungs, indigestion and even seasickness. This at least is the theory, as well as the successful practice of the patients of the famous Dr. Oertel of Munich, who has elaborated a system of breathing that he has set forth in a largg work on the subject. The breathing is done by count, or’ rather by steps—so many full deep breaths to a step, the number being regulated by the nature of the place where! the walk is taken, whether it be level or an ascent or descent. The speed is regulated by the ailment and condition of the patient.

SMKIMGW X. I Sermon by d Chicago Minister Frequently Interrupted by Applause, CUBA SHOUIA/BE ASSISTED. AH Onr Sympikhlr* Are On the Side of Freedom—Patriot* Wy/Uggllng For Their Hight* n* Men—Humor Thtt the Span* l*h Cruiser Barc-aatngui Waa Wrecked by a Torpedo—Sower* Want* Damage*. Chicago, Sept. 23.—Rev. Dr. H. W. Thomas caused somewhat of a sensation yesterday by declaring from his pulpit that the time had come for America to say that the oppression of Cuba by Spain must come to an end. There was a large attendance of the best people in the city apd the speaker was frequently interrupted by outbursts of applause. “Among the modern nations of the earth,” said Dr. Thomas, “Spain is old. She was once in the foreground—once the proudest and most prosperous of nations. But she was always on the side of royalty and ecclesiasticism. She belonged to the old order of government and religion. Other countries have advanced, have heard the call and caught the inspiration of a new light, while Spain has stood still—has gone backward. She lias not absorbed other people of the earth and caught inspiration from them. Her religion is Roman Catholic and is supported by the state. No fault can be found with that. She has a right to her religion, which is one of the great wings or powers of the church. The Protestant religion is tolerated, but worship must be in secret and no notice of meetings may be given. There are 60,000 Protestants in the country, and an attendance at worship of 8,000 in a population of less than 16,000,000. “There are 5,000,000 men and 7,800,000 women who cannot read and write. Education flourishes in England, Germany, France and Italy, and 11 herefore argue that Spain—this moribund nation that has failed to get into line with the practice of this great age—has forfeited the right to be a dictator, much less a ruler, among nations of the earth. It has the right to exist in ignorance and superstition and to manage its own affairs, but not the right to cruelly oppress its own subjects. “The time has come for America to say that this oppression of Cuba must come to an end, and that very soon. All our memories are on the side of freedom. When we struggled, France held out a helping hand and Russia sent her warships to cruise off New York. Can we supinely stand still and let Spain crush the life out of these struggling patriots? I don’t call them rebels. ' They are patriots, as brave as men ever were, and are struggling for the rights of men as we once struggled. Governments move slowly, but there is no need to delay the«sxpression of our sympathy. It is fitting that the voice of the pulpit, the press and the people of this great city,the center of the country should be heard first. ’ ’ SUNK BY A TORPEDO. Cruiser Bareastegul Said to Have Been Wrecked by the Insurgents. Philadelphia, Sept. 23.—An entirely different explanation of the sinking of the Spanish cruiser Barcastegui and the loss of 46 lives in the harbor of Havana on last Wednesday night is made in letters received in this city yesterday by a distinguished member of the Cuban revolutionary party. According to the news telegraphed from Havana tfhe day after, the catastrophe was due tp a collision between the cruiser and the merchant steamer Mortera. It is now stated as an absolute fact that the Bar-. castegui was sunk by a floating torpedo launched by an adventurous iparty of Cubans. It is known here that before dispatch relating to the accident was sent it was carefully edited by the press censor. « Will Ask For Damages. Washington, Sept. 23.—Jbhn Sow- ' ers an American sugar planter at Sagna, Cuba, who was imprisoned • by General Campos and subsequently Ordered to summarily leave Cuba, passed through Washington last night on his way to his old home at Warrenton, Va. Mr. Sowers claims he was not 'connected with the insurgents in any way, but was ordered imprisoned by Campos and subjected to many indignities. After 10 days’ imprisonment he was given 24 hours to leave Cuba. He left, leaving his wife and children, as he had no time to arrange for their 'departure. Mr. Sowers will lay his case lie fore the state department.

Joining the Insurgents. Tampa, Fla., Sept;. 23.—The Spanish newspapers arriving last night from Cuba state that several companies of the regiment of Havana have joined the insurgents. Rumor in Havana has it that the Barcastegui was run down while she was trying to get out of the harbor without any lights. When the schooner Pearl was captured at Key West the Spaniards believed it was a naft of Collazo’s expedition, and thinking it would land* near Matanzas at daylight Thursday the Barcastegui was going out to capture it.

A Scotch Reconciliation. There was the “Last Anderson of Deoside,” wheso father, the laird, did not speak to him for the space of two years because he took it into fiis head to become a minister. “Na, an speak to his son the auld man wadua, for the very dourness o’ him. Aye, even though the minister wad sae tohisfaither, 'Faither, wull ye no’ speak to yer ain son?’ No’ yae word wad he answer, but pass him as though he hadua seen him, as muckle as to say, ‘Nae son o’ mine 1’ "But a week or twa after the minister had lost youn twa nice bairns wi’ the scarlet fever his faither an him foregatered at the fishin—wbaur he had gane, tbinkin to jook the sair thochts that he carried abootwi’him, puir man.

But the auld man didna’ greet. "Wattie,’says he to his son, ‘hae ye a huik?’ "Aye, Saunders, that was a’ he said, an the minister juist gied him the huik and some half dizzen fine flees forbye, an the twa a’ them never said disruption mail as lang as they leeved.”—"Bog Myrtle and Peat.” Os Contemporaneous Human Interest. Augustin Daly has given one phrase to American literature that, whatever may be its defect as a logical statement, has taken such deep root in current English that it is } doubtful whether it can possibly be eradicated, and probably never will be dislodged. The phrase is, "Os contemporaneous human interest. ” Mr. Daly employed it originally in describing one of his adaptations of the playbill The literary critics scored the phrase unmercifully at the time and tried to ridicule it out of existence, but it seems that despite the irresistible conclusion that no play could possibly possess any interest for trees or cattle as distinguished from “human” creatures Mr. Daly had filled a long felt want with it, for it js now met with increasing frequency. Doubtless every one who uses it does so under mental process charging the responsibility on Daly, but it is one of those winged phrases that drops in like an old time friend whose clothes are not above criticism.—Washington Post.

An Animal That Hie*. With the single exception of his dog, the sportman is probably the only animal now living on the earth that,hies. All others are extinct. Even the sportsman never hies except in print or in manuscript intended for print, and even then, our observation would appear to indicate, he hies more frequently in the manuscript than in the actual print. Other creatures, quadruped or biped, simply go—walk, run, travel, make a break, skip, scoot, slope, set out, light out, peg out, mosey, as the New York police say, "et a move on themselves, or, in the classic speech of the Bowery, chase derselfs. But the shooter hies him on the field, and the angler hies himself to the stream. There the one sees his dog freeze into a statue, the other catches speckled beauties, and neither ever eats bis dinner or supper, but invariably does full justice to it. —Forest and Stream. > —.—; ; Woodward & Ball, the leading furniture dealers of the city, carry a fine line of queensware, glassware, and in fact they are the only dealers in ent glassware.

SPANISH CRUiSEH SUNK Collided With Another Steamer In the Harbor at Havana, FORTY-SIZ ARE DROWNED. Admiral Parejo and Captain Ybanea Amonf the Lost—The Admiral, Who Wa* the Last Man to Leave the Sinking Ship, Waa taught In the Swirl. Story of the Wreck by Captain Vinal. Havana, Sept. 20.—The cruiser Barcastogui has been wrecked iu the harbor here by coming in collision with the merchant steamer Mortora. Admiral Delgado Parejo, Captain Ybanez and 44 others were drowned. The bodies of the admiral and captain have been recovered. Divers are now examining the wrecked vessel. Captain Vinal of the steamer Mortora in an interview yesterday said that at 11:20 o’clock Wednesday night, when he was within two miles of the entrance of the harbor and going at a moderate rate of speed, he saw ahead on his starboard a green light, which he presumed was that of a steamer laying port. p “I ordered the engines to slowdown,” said Captain Vinal, “and proceeded on our course, hearing two whistles from the cruiser, to which we replied. Turning into the harbor and keeping in sight on our starboard the green light of the cruiser, we whistled twice again, thus indicating that we were turning into the harbor, when suddenly all of the lights were put out. I immediately ordered the engineer to steam backwards, but it was of no avail, for the steamers collided. I ordered boats tb be lowered and life preservers to be thrown overboard. After the collision we were entangled with the Barcastogui for a time, but as this situation endangered the Mortora as well as the cruiser, I ordered the engineer to go ahead, my intention being to try to run the Barcastogui ashore. I soon found, however, that this could not be done with safety to the Mortora, and we backed.off from the cruiser, which sank almost instantly.” Admiral Parejo was the last man to leave the cruiser, being taken off in a rowboat which was about to start for shore, when the suction occasioned by the sinking of the Barcastogui carried the boat down, and all on board were drowned. The cause of the extinguishment of the lights ou board the cruiser, which was described by Captain VinAl of the Mortora, aiid which undoubtedly was the cause of the collision, was occasioned by the stopping of engines to save the life of a sailor whose arm had been caught in the dynamo. Illtreated by Spaniard*. Port Tampa, Fla., Sept. 20. —John Sowers, a native of Virginia and a sugar planter, who was arrested in Havana and thrown into prison, left here last night for Washington to enter a protest against the action of the Spanish, authorities. He says he has no idea as to the reason for his arrest and declares himself perfectly innocent of any violation of the laws. He declares he will never return to Cuba while the island is under the Spanish flag, and hopes to make speedy arrangements for his wife and four children to follow him to this country. American* imprisoned by Spaniard*. Madrid, Sept. 20.—An official dispatch from Havana says that a courtmartial has condemned the captain of the American steamer Mascotte to eight years’ and the fireman to 10 years’ imprisonment at hard labor for landing cartridges in Cuba for the insurgents.

Robert ■ Miller, a Kirkwall man, found this to be the case. He returned from the wfralefisliing one autumn, fully resolved that he should take unto himself a wife. Bat the press gang got on his track, and —- he soon saw that if he was to get his heart’s desire he would require to exert both pluck and perseverance. At length the fateful night arrived. The company had gathered, aud the minister was in the house of the bride, prepared to proceed with the ceremony, when the dreaded press gang made its appearance. Ladies are not unusually of a bjdligerent disposition, but when they saw, as in this instance, the likelihood of a marriage being spoiled by interlopers they rose up th wrath' against them. They assailed the members of the press gang.both with tongue and missiles, so that these gentlemen were glad to beat a hgsty retreat. After this 'little episode “ a back window of the house was lifted, and the bridegroom, dressed in woman's clothes, bounded into the room. The doors having been barricaded to prevent a surprise, the clergyman proceeded to perforin the ceremony, and surely no c -bridegroom was evjyc married in such a strange garb! Miller was never captured. He lived to a.ripe old age and was the first beadle of the Kirkwall • Free church.—Chambers' Journal. o. i ;<J , ' i'i'k. • The Ancient Purse.
