time to be a marvelous work of art,
equaling anything of the sort produc?

London Chronicle. Round the edge was
an elaborate Inscription. One day Mme.

SHORT NEWS STORIES.
Rear Admiral Watson Didn't Swear,

ktf Waa a Radical.
Unlike the popular conception of
most naval officers. Hear Admiral .lohn
G. Watson, who has been assigned to
the command of the Asiatic squadron
In succession to Admiral Dewey, Is
very religious. Ho is nu ardent Pres?
byterian, a deacon in that church and
on euthuelastic worker In the ranks of
the lay nien. says the Sau Kraucisco
Sows Letter. When his naval title
was only that of counnuuder, he was
stationed at Sun Francisco for several
years aud was superintendent of the
Sunday school In connection with St.
John's church, founded by the Uev.
Dr. Scott and maintained by the south?
ern set In memory of the founder.
Of course, such a religious man Is
free from the common nautical vice of
profanity, but sometimes things go
wrong even on the ship of a devout
Christian. Admiral Watson was very
disappointed when the orders for him
to sail for Spain and destroy Camera's
fleet were countermanded.
"Didn't you swear, admiralV anx?

who tad been reading Dewey's famous
remarka on the bridge of the Olympia

General Pita-Haar A Lee'a Claaa Rias.
An Interesting relic In the shape of a
ring once worn by General Fits-Hugh
Lee recently came Into the possession
of W. B. Odbert a Wheeling Jeweler.
Walter Bonlde and his family came to
Wheeling from Huntington, W. Va..
about two months ago, and a few days
Ago the head of the family informed
Mr. Odbert that he had a large ring
be desired to sell for Its gold value,
says the New York Sun. When the
ring was delivered, the jeweler could
hardly believe his eyes, for It was In?
scribed "Fits-Hugh Lee, 1850." The set?
ting had been lost many years ago, and
the intrinsic value of the gold was $6.
This sum was paid RouMe. And he gave
the jeweler a fragmentary history of
the ring. He said the relic was the
class ring of the well known Virginian.
On one side It bears In deep cut figures
a Templar's coat of arms and hood and
on the reverse crossed swords and
exes. >

The voter, on being asked the cus?

Thereupon the members of the oppos?

DEMOLISHED BY DYNAMITE.
How Clilua'a tivmt Wall Will De
lard to Dulld .Modern Citlea.
It too!: 2(000(000 men working for
tou years to build lh? great wall of
China.
Even then many parts of the wall
were already there for the men to link
together. The earlier sections were
built 3.322 years before the birth of
Christ. The final wall was completed
in 204 B. C.
Now, more than 2,000 years later, the,
wall is to be blown up by dynamite to
suit the modern idea of progress. It
will be destroyed In a twinkling. It
was built lu 30 centuries.
An Interesting and striking object
lesson lu China's whimsical transition
In a few years from superstitious stag?
nation to practical advancement Is fur-*
nlshed In the proposition to blow the
old wall Into ruins. The proposition
emanatea from the new ruler of China,
the dowager empress. She la a re?
markable old woman, this dowager
empress, to have been evolved by a
country like China. The wall has been
the pride of the Mongolians all their
Uvea They have been reared on It
from childhood. It has been a part
of their religion. Up to two years ago
the bare Idea of removing It would
have stricken the little yellow people
dumb with Indignant horror. Even
now had the auggestlon come from a
foreigner they probably would have
cried out for the white devil's blood
and called upon the empress to banish
all unbelieving dogs from the wall's
protection. But It came from the great
empress herself, who could cut off the
heads of a thousand or two of the poor
little chaps If they dared to raise so
much as their eyes In dissent, and so
the beloved wall must come down,
with all its precious traditions and
sacred charms clinging around It.

A CHICAGO ART STORY.
The number of artists In Chicago
was increased recently by the arrival
of one from a distant city who during
his leisure moments strolled about the
down town streets seeing the sights.
Passing a store where a number of
paintings were displayed In the win?
dows, he Stepped inside to look about.
Standing before a landscape about 10
by 14 inches in Bile, he a ssumed the
manner of an admirer of art and
awaited the approach of the proprietor.
Tbl latter advanced, smiling and
rubbing his hands. lie greeted the
visitor cordially and said:
"You are an admirer of paintings, 1
see."
"Yes, to some extent," was the reply.
"That is a pretty bit of scenery," the
dealer returned, "that you are looking
at there, that little clump of green
trees and the red house. It has a
charming atmosphere about It. Don't
you think? With the frame, just as it
is, we are asking only $10 for It That
over there is a companion piece, same
size, same frame. Now, if you would
like to buy the pair," he continued, be?
coming very earnest, "we could let you
have them for?let me see. Take them
along for $25."
"Well, it's evidently a fair price, but
the fact is I don't want to buy. 1 am
a painter myself."
"Oh, you are an artist!" smilingly re?
marked the dealer. "Well, perhaps
you would like to do some painting for
us?"
"Oh, I don't know; perhaps so. But
what do you pay for a canvas like
that?" indicating the small picture un?
der discussion.
"Well," replied the dealer, becoming
confidential and stepping up close to
his caller, "that Is a cheap painting,
and If you can paint them fast, you can
make good money."
"Well, what do you pay?" asked the
artist impatiently.
"For that size we are paying
cents."

room and, still angry, sent for Sothern
and began to rate him fiercely.
"Stop, Laura?stop Just a minute!"
Interrupted the comedian and advanc?
ing to the light deliberately turned It
down.
"What do you mean by that, sir?"
she demanded in a rage.
"Oh. nothing." replied Sothern, "but
you have always been so lovely to me
