THE OPAL?
Some Little Stories About the Famous
. lGem. . ‘
There are three varieties of this famous
gem. Ranking first comes the Oriental;
as second in value, the fire- and lastly, the
common opal.
precious treasure, as expressed by the
ancients, can hardly be believed. Non-
nius, a Roman Senator, absolutely pre-
ferred exile to parting with a brilliant
opal of the size of a filbert, which was
earnestly coveted by Marc Antony.’ An
opal ranking as third among the finest in
the world is described as having three
longitudinal bands of the harlequin kind,
from the uppermost of which rose per-
pendicularly the most resplendent flames.
It measured nine inches by six.
In the last century a very round and '
brilliant opal was the property of the
amateur Fleury. Another, said to be fas-
cinatingly vivid, was owned by a noted
French financier. These two were re-
garded as marvels of beauty among gems.
On account of the thousand fissures of
the stone, engraving is always difficult,
and often impossible. A head of Sappho
engraved upon a “presumable opal,” an
antique, has been highly valued and care-
fully studied by experts in gem-lore. It
is catalogued, so we read, among the
treasures of a princely home.—-Harper’s
Bazar. . .
Erected Her Own Tombstone. ’
A remarkable but perfectly reliable
story comes from Wales which throws a
strange light upon the eccentricity of
character. In the graveyard of the
parish church at Churchstoke, a small
village in Montgomeryshire, there is to
be seen a gravestone which bears the in—
scription recording the death of a maiden
lady who, nevertheless, is actually living
in the village referred to and within a
short distance from her tombstone!
Her brothers and sisters died in the
early part of this century, and a single
stone announces their deaths. It stood
undisturbed until 1886, when it was reno-
vated, and at that time the lady referred
to, who was then in her sixty-eighth
year, gave orders to a local stone mason
to insert her name at the bottom of the
stone. This was done, but he was rather
surprised to receive a'further order to add
the words “ Died 1889.” At first he hesi—
tated, and afterward complied with the
request, although he did not credit his
customer with any remarkable degree of
prophecy. _ v
Year after year passed by, and when 1889
came the eccentric lady was still living,
perhaps contrary to her own expecta-
tions. The epitaph now confronts her
_ every time she wends her way to church
service. So robust is she that since 1889
she has visited America, and apparently
derived considerable benefit from the
voyage.
The following is acopy of the inscrip-
tion on the stone: .
“ In memory of Edward Lockley, stone-
mason, son of John and Mary Lockley,
who died July 30, 1843, aged thirty-six
years. Also John, their son, who died
December 7, 1846, aged thirty-five years.
Also Thomas, Richard and Joseph, their
sons, who died in their infancy. Also
Sarah, their daughter, born August 8,
1819; died 1889.”—London Tit- Bits. '
Discoverer of a Ne“r World.
Max Muller finds a rival to Columbus
in Sir William Jones, who, in the last
century, opened the way to Oriental
scholarship. He told the Oriental con-
gress in London that the discoverers of
that old, prehistoric world, deserve our
gratitude as much as Columbus and
Schlegel, Humboldt and of his own mas-
ters and fellow workers, Bopp, Pott, Bur-
nouf, Benfey, Kuhn and Curtius, he said,
would forever remain .a landmark in the
studies devoted to the history, that is,
the knowledge, of our race, and, in. the
end, the knowledge of ourselves. He
added that 10,003 B. C. would by no
means he to distant as the probable limit
of our historical knowledge of the exist-
ence of Aryan speakers somewhere in
Asia. ,
“The handling of linguistzc protoplasm"
is not congenial to the students of lan-
guage, and the deeper they delve the fur-
ther the solution of this problem seems
to recede from their grasp. \Ve may here,
too, learn the old lesson that our mind
was not made to grasp beginnings. We
know beginnings of nothing in this
world; the problem of the origin of lan-
guage (but another name for the origin
of thought) evades comprehension, quite
as much as the origin of our planet and
the life upon it; or the origin of space
and time, whether without or within us.”

THE MARCH OF THE CARAVAN.
The ‘K'elrd Sight That ilIeets the Trav-
eler in the Desert.
Perhaps the weirdest and most impres-
sive of the many unwonted memories
that the traveTer carries away with him
from travel in the East is the recollection
of the camel caravans which he has en-
countered at night. ,
Out of the black darkness is heard the
distant boom of a heavy bell. Mournful-
ly and with perfect regularity of itera-
tion it sounds, gradually swelling nearer
and louder, and perhaps mingling with
the tones of smaller bells signaling the
rear guard of the same caravan.
The big bell is the insignia and alarm
of the leading camel alone. But nearer
and louder as the sound becomes,
not another sound and not a visible ob-
ject appears to accompany it. Suddenly,
and without the slightest warning, there
looms out of the darkness, like the appa-
rition of a phantom ship, the form of the
captain of the caravan. His spongy
tread sounds softly on the smooth sand,
and like a great string of linked ghouls
the silent procession stalks by and is
swirllowed up in the night.
And how wonderful and ever-present is
the contrast in Eastern travel to all life
and movement at home! -No heavy carts
- and lumbering wagons jolt to and fro
between the farm. yards and the fields.
No light vehicles and swift equipages
dash'put upon macadamlzed roads. Also!
there are no roads; and if no roads, how
much less any vehicle's orwagona.
Thatohod roofs and tilted cottages,
lanes and hedgerows and trim fields,

VTHRICE HE FAILED AND THRIGE

A Business Career Full of Lights
and Shadows.
NEW YORK, Feb. 24.—-Rufus Hatch, the
well-known Wall street man, died yester-
day. .,
He had been ill for some time at 'his
home in VVestchesier.
Rufus Hatch was born in 1832 in Wells,
York county, Me. His family was old
English stock and had branches in Con-
necticut, New York and Ohio. He was a
child of a farming family, and had but
a common country school education. At
the ‘ age of 13 he went‘ into a country
store at Kennebunkport, Me. In 1850
he Went to Rockford, Ill. He got em-
ployment in a country store where the
neighboring farmers traded their pro-
duce.
Young Rufus made adicker with the
farmers to take on commission all their
surplus produce that his employer didn’t
want.
venture and it proved successful. Busi-
ness grew and he left his employer to go
on a surveying trip with a party that
Were laying out the Chicago and North-
western Railroad.
It was then he met Henry Keep, who
afterward was President of the road.
Then he went to Chicago to go into the
produce and commission business. Again
young Hatch succeeded, and soon he was
worth considerable money. He founded
the Board of Trade in Chicago and be-
came'a director in the Chicago & N orthc
western R'ailroad. In 1857 he failed for
$160,000, but was soon on his feet again
better off than ever. Chicago became too
small for him, and in 1862 Mr. Hatch
came to New York. "
RUFUS HATCH.
He at once became a member of the
Stock Exchange, Produce Exchange and
the Gold Board. He went heavily into
Pacific Mail and became President and
managing director of the company in 1871.
Under his direction the steamships City of
Peking and City of Tokio were built. At
that time they were the largest vessels of
their kind afloat. On the trial trips Mr.
Hatch took big parties to Boston and
Newport. ‘
He. had Gilmore’s band on board, a
choir of 25 singers and a Delmonico
spread. President Grant and his cabinet
and Gov. Dix were among Mr. Hatch’s
guests. Just as the City of Tokio was
leaving New York for San Francisco Mr.
her commander., The Captain wouldn’t
obey his orders, and when the steam-
ship arrived in San Francisco Mr. Hatch
ordered Capt. Griflin’s suspension. He
directors and it led to his retirement
from the company. He had made a lot
of money, however, by bulling the stock.
He then began a grain and commission
business on a large scale at 49 Exchange
Place. In 1878 he failed, owing $600,000.
Bulling Northwestern caused his down-
fall, but in three years he had paid it up
with interest and had a fortune besides.
In 1881 Mr. Hatch went into Northern
Pacific. In conjunction with it he form-
ulated his Yellowstone National Park
Improvement Company. He got alease
of-several sites in YellOWStone Park and
built several hotels, including the huge
one at Mammoth Hot Springs, hundreds
. of miles from any railroad.
In 1883 he brought a party of 85 foreign
capitalists and their wives at an expense
of $50,000 to see his improvements in Yel-
lowstone. He took them West in August
in a special train of eight cars. Two
weeks after a party of 600 foreigners set
out as Henry Villard’s guests to inspect
the Northern Pacific system, of which
Mr. Villard was then President. They
were to witness in September the driving
of the golden spike which was to connect
the eastern with the western end ‘of the
system. '
While the parties were out, the hol-
lowness of Mr. Villard’s financial policy
became apparent to Wall street, and the
bottom fell out of Northern Pacific. At
the same time Senator Vest of Missouri
attacked the Yellowstonel‘ scheme of Mr.
Hatch in the Senate, and 'as a result it
went into the hands of a receiver. Again
Mr. Hatch failed, and since then' he has
out no figure in financial affairs. Hefwas
in but very moderate circumstances.
Seven children survive him.
Mr. Hatch was one of, the most re-
markable characters in Wall street. He
possessed extraordinary recuperative
powers, as his ability to recoup after
three failures showed.

convened at 11 o’clock yesterday morn-

moved that it be referred to the House as
a Committee of the Whole for the pur-
pose of giving the public a hearing next
Tuesday. The motion was defeated by
17 to 28.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Feb. 24.—Another sen-
sational feature of the Leechburg Bank
murder was developed last night by the
arrest of Dr. G. S. Wyckoff, a physician
prominent in the town, for complicity in
the attempted robbery and the murder.
Dr. Wyckoff came to “Pittsburg yester-
day.’ He was shadowed by detectives all
the time he was in the city. As he was
about to step aboard a train for home he
was arrested. .
He was indignant and wanted to know
why he had 'been arrested. The detec-
tives claim to have secured enough evi-
dence to justify them in making the or-
rest and holding the Doctor as an accom-
plice of théhmurderers.
At the Coroner’s inquest on the body
of William Shaffer, the murdered Coun-
cilman, Wyckoff’s connection with the
plot came to light, but in a way that he
did not think put him in a criminal light.
William Kerr testified that the two rob-
here now in Kittanning jail were intro-
duced to him by Wyckoff, who claimed
they were drug drummers from James-
town, N. Y.
Since then it has been developed that
the two men were kept at Wyckofl’s
house 'for several days. It is supposed
this is where they hatched the plot to
rob the bank and that \Vyckoff did the
brain work. '
