Vlsaselat Review.

Speculation continues to be narrow and
professional. There has been an un
mistakable strong undertone in the
market this week, and though the pub
Ble has not been a purchaser it has not
sold stocks. London took very little
interest in Americans and professional
interests here were somewhat divided
In their attitude. The smaller opera
tors and the board room traders were
inclined to test the market and to sell
stocks short, while some of the leading
Interests have occupied themselves
from time to time by forcing the bears
to cover, resulting in displays of a
certain amount of strength. The in
dustrials, however, have furnished
most of the activity, and In that group
as usual this has been in small degree
of manipulation.
The most genuine exhibition of the
market's underlying bullishness has
been supplied by the bond list, which
has been strong, and advancing appar

A CHAPTER ON CROwN&
They Ravo seem Wor. Vrem the eWaress
Times.
From the earliest times the crown
has been an emblem of high honor and
authority. Originally it was simply a
fillet of leaves, and was used by the
ancients In the observance of religious
rites and festivities.
The ancient "royal diadem" was a
headband or fillet, worn by kings as
a mark of regality. It was made of
silk, of thread or of wool, and was
wound around the temples and the fore
head and tied behind, the ends falling
on the neck.
In ancient Rome the crown was us
ually made of laurel leaves, and was
given as a reward for courageous deeds.
Among the Greeks It wqs a symbol of
ofce and In token of victory. It was
bestowed upon victors in the Grecian
games, and also upon citimens that had
rendered the country important serv
Ive. The "corona obsidionalis" was
the crown most highly prised; It was
bestowed by a besieged army, or town,
upon the general that came to their
rescue. The civic crown, made of oak
leaves and acorns. was given to any
soldier that saved the live of a citi
zen. It entitled the soldier to a seat
next to the senators on all public occa.
sions, and he, his father and his grand
father were exempted from all public
burdens.
The "corona muralls" was a circlet of
gold surrounded by turrets, and was
given as a reward to the first one en
tering a beleaguered city. The "cor
ona triumphalls" was the reward giv
en to a triumphant general.
At first the papal crown war a plain,
pointed cap. Pope Hormiadas added
the first crown. Boniface VIII.. the sec
ond, and John XXII. the third, thus
making it a triple crown.
A coronet is a small crown worn by
members of the nobility. The coronet of
a duke Is adorned with eight strawber
ry leaves; that of a marquis with tour
strawberry leaves, alternating with
four pearls; that of an earl with eight
strawberry leaves, alternating with
eight pearls on raised points; that of a
viscount with sixteen pearls, and that
of a baron with six pearls.
The crown of England is supposed to
be the finest piece of regalia in the
world. Its value is variously estimat
ed, but it is commonly believed to be
worth at least S1,600.000.
One of tse finest collections of crown
jewels in the worid is owned by the Kul
tan of Turkey. From time out of mem
ory the sultans have made a point of
collecting jewels and selling none. Thus
the collection has become very great.
It is a question whether Rusetsa or
Persia has the greatest and most val
uable collection of crown diamonds in
the world, but the honor is supposed to
belong to one of the two.
WHO NAMED IT MOLD OLORY"?
Claimed That the elag Wag /eat Me Canled
by a Yankee Skipper.
From the Springfield (Mass.) Republi
Our flag the stars and stripes was
named "Old Glory" In 1331 by a Salem
skipper, one William Driver, at that
time captain of the brig Charles Dog
gett. Just before the brig left Salem
a young man at the head of a party of
friends saluted Captain Driver on the
deck of the Doggett and presented him
with a large and beautifully made
American flag. The captain christened
it "Old Glory." He took it to the South
Pacific, and years after, when old age
forced him to relinquish the sea, he
treasured the flag. Captain Driver re
moved to Nashville. Tenn.. Ia 1837. and
he died there in 18668. Previous to the
outbreak of hostilities between the
North and the South "Old Glory" was
flung to the breese every day from the
window of his house, but, when the bul
lets began to sip and the odor of gun
powder to taint the air, the old Sag
had to be secreted. It was kept out of
sight, inside an old bed comfortable,
until Feb. 6. 1682. when Brigadier Gen
eral Nelson's wing of the union army
appeared in Nashville, and Captain
Driver presented It to the general to
be hoisted on the capitol.
It was run up. and Captain Driver
himself did the hoisting. He watched
it through the night, and, a heavy wind
coming up, he took it iown and sent a
new flag in its place. The original "Old
Glory" was beginning to ribbon. The
second flag owned by Captain Driver
was given to the Ohio 6th. when that
regiment left Nashville for home. It
was pla(.'d in the rear of a baggage
wagon, where a mule nosed it out and
devoured it. The original "Old Glory"
was preserved, and, after the death of
Captain Driver, it was presented to the
Fear x institute at Salem, where it may
now be seen.

lest Senjay. De was promptly arrest
** by Ueutenaat ILndsley and coan*ed r
Ia the past guard house. Yesterday b
morning he pleaded guilty before Unit
*4 states Commissioner Meldrum to a
charge of bunting in the park last Sep- U
tember, and was fined $50. He succeed. c
ed In raising the money. paid his fine
and was escorted out of the park with v
orders from the acting superintendent i
not to return without permission in s
writing from the secretary of the in
terior or the superintendent of the park.
Murray and Jim Courtney were
caught hunting in the northwest part of
the park last September. They were
with a party of Eastern seatlemen who
had employed them as guides and hunt
ers. These gentlemen were, of course,
unfamiliar with the country, sad claim
to have cautioned Murray and Court
ney against taking them into the park s
or near the line. It appears, however.
that the elk were more plentiful in the
park than they were outside, so the
guidee, who are offenders against the
park laws, went where the hunting was
st. They were arrested by Scouts
F. M. Scott of Gardiner. Mont., and N.
J. Mail, now of Livingston, Mont.. but r
the guides escaped from the scouts r
by a clever trick and returned to their
homes In Idaho. A complaint was
made against them before Commission
er Meldrum. and a warrant was issued t
for their arrest. The United States at
torney for the Wyoming district. Gibson f
Clark of Cheyenne. declined to Institute
proceedingafor their arrest in Idaho and t
removal to the park for trial. on the
ground that the probability of a con
viction was so small. and the cost of
getting these defendants out of Idaho
and into the park for trial would be r
so great that it would be best to drop t
the caes. The park authorities con- d
tended that a conviction was almost ab
solutely certain, and that this billion I
dollar country could well afford any
necessary expense in enforcing its laws,
and that "justice is never dear," but
without avaiL The authoritieg of the
Wyoming district would not prosecute
the case. and so it rested. Knowing
that Colonel Young had been relieved
as superintendent, and probably think
ing that he would escape observation
and arrest, Murray boldly came into
the park last week as guide for an En
glish gentleman, Mr. Trevalyan of Lon- 9
don, England. They made the com
plete tour of the park, from Riverside to
the Lower and Upper Basins take,
Grand Canyon and Yancey's, then to
the Warm Springs, where Mr. Trev
alyan was to take the stage for Cinna
bar, and Murray would probably have
made his exit from the park unob
served had not Lieutenant Lindsley 4
seen and recognised him. Murray
plead guilty as charged, and afterwards
told the deputy marshal that he got off
easier than he expected.
This looks as though the United
States attorney was possessed of more
discretion than valor, and leads those
who are interested in protecting the
game in the park to wonder what he
will do with the warrant for Courtney,
as the two men were caught together,
and the charges against them are ab
solutely identical.

Virginia City, June 29.-The valleys
of Madison county were again visited
by front Tuesday evening, but it is
thought not to be of enough importance
to do much harm.
Tuesday afternoon Elmer Bickford.
son of Mr. and Mrs. 5. E. Bickford 'f
this city, was accidentally shot in the
leg, the bullet being from a 22-caliber
rifle. It seems that Elmer. with sev
eral of his boy chums, was out at the
swimming pond, where they had been
bathing, at the time the accident oc
curred. The boys were lying on the
bank of the pond, playing or fooling
with the gun. One of the boys placed
a cartridge in the gun and accidentally
snapped the hammer, discharging the
load with the above result. The bullet
is still lodged in the boy's leg. No bones
were broken. This should be a warn
ing to the young bols or this city who
so carelessly handle these small guns.
It is surprising that more accidents do
not occur, Just from the carelessness
of the young boys handling these fire
arms.

The health of William Ennis, who was
shot 10 days ago, Is In a very critical
condition. No hopes are entertained for
his recovery; the relatives are prepared
for the worst. Drs. T. J. Murray of
Butte and J. H. Miller of Sheridan were
sent for and arrived Tuesday for the
purpose of performing an operation for
the removal of the bullet from his abdo
men, but upon the arrival of the doc
tors Mr. Ennis changed his mind and de
cided not to undergo the operation, as
it was conceded by the physicians that
the chances for him to come out from
the operation were few; but, also, that
it would be certain death within a very
few days should he not have the opera
tion performed. It is thought that mor
tification is slowly setting in. which, if
so, will result In blood poisoning. Until
Sunday it was thought by all that the
bullet, in entering Mr. Ennis, did not
penetrate any of the intestines, owing
to various reasons, but Sunday it was
discovered that the ball had either en
tered the Intestine or cut it during its
travels. Mr. Ennis has suffered but
very little since the accident occurred.

If the firemen of San Francisco could
do so. there is little doubt that they
would elect to honorary membership
in their ranks Winnie Deable. who was
a waitress in the Union hotel, which
was burned a few nights ago. One man
was cremated in the building and oth
ers would have shared his fate but for
the girl's bravery. When the fire start
ed 40 persons were asleep and no one
was aware of danger until the rear up
per part was in flames, which were
rapidly eating their way downward.
Firemen were soon at work, but by
that time the guests had become ter
ror stricken and were rushing about
the halls, half suffocated by smoke.
Then Winnie Deable called on several of
them to follow her. She led them
through a smoke-filled passage to the
outer air and safety. Then she re
turned to further aid the work of res
cue.
By this time Police Serge at Conhoy
had found John McDonald in a room on
the third floor surrounded by flames.
He was so badly burned that he died in
a short time.
After McDonald had been carried out
Conboy went to one of the upper win
dows and, looking down, saw William
Rogers lying insensible on some planks
piled in the little closed alley beside
the building. It seemed as it the man
