BAN ON OPALS
IS
OFF
New York, Jan. 30.—Society wom-
en of New York are raising the ban
on the opal. Mrs. Frederick Vander-
bilt is one of those who admire opals
greatly and wears them in apite of
the ill fortune they are said to ibring.
The opal Is the only jewel that de-
fies the imitator. It is also the only
« stone that hais a temper or temper-
ament as you choose. Mrs. Vander-
bilt calls it temperament, and then
points out that she has several opals
| that change with the rays of the sun
or the spirits and bodily health of
I their wearer. The opal loses color
in extreme cold and becomes dull un-
i der too miuch moisture. In dry, sun-
ny weather wonderful colons glow in
it. It is a-stone that lends itself to
almost any complexion or costume,
and the prospects are that in a few
years its beauty and delicacy will
conquer all fears on the ground of
Its unluckiness.
Newspapermen Befriended Woman
When She Waa Arreeted for At-
tempting to Slay Man Alleged
to Have Jilted Her.
Lob Angeles, Cal.—Her love unre-
turned by the man whom she had
twice planned to kill. Miss Johanna
Rascop, a waitress, opened the gas
Jet in her room at No. 440% South
Spring street and was found dying.
She was dead when the police am-
bulance arrived at the Receiving hos-
pital.
Without Intimating that she Intend-
ed to end her life, the young woman
told Mrs. A. B. Hassel. her landlady,
that she was very grateful to the
newspaper reporters for the assist
ance they had glveD her when she
first got Into trouble, and she asked
that they be told "whatever they
wanted to know about MIbs Kascop." j
Miss Rascop waa arrested Septem-
ber 6 In a cafe on South Main street
when she fired a pistol at William
Rudolph, the manager, whom, she de-
clared, had Jilted her. She was taken
to the central police station, and there
made a statement that Kudolph had
misled her. She was without funds or
friends. A number of newspaper men
secured the services of Attorney Frank
Domlnguei, and the young woman waa
released upon her own recognizance
pending her trial. Rudolph charged
her with assault with a deadly weap-
on. He appeared agalnBt her In the
superior court about ten days ago,
and she was found guilty and placed
I on probation. Mrs. Hassel, who ac-
companied Miss Rascop to the court-
room for her trial, discovered that the i
young woman had a revolver In her I
hand bag, and she learned that the
girl was planning another attack upon
S FfUdolph.
She left three notes, one to Ru-
dolph, another to Mrs. Hassel and the
third to Mrs. Margaret Wortmann, No.
132 South Flower street. Mrs. Wort-
mann is a sister of Miss Rascop.
To Rudolph she wrote that he was
the only man she had ever loved, and
that he might now live on In peace.
She denies that she had ever wanted
any of his money. She predicts pun-
ishment for him. The note to Mrs.
Hassel declares that it Is better tor
her to die. To her sister and the
letter's husband, Miss Rascop wrote
that It were better to see her dead
than In the penitentiary, where she
would go If she lived.
MAN BURIED SECOND TIME
Hopkins, Recluse, Was Once Thought
Dead, Is Put In Grave for
Good.
Hopkins, Mo.—For the second time
In a quarter of a century James H.
Magee. a recluse, has been lowered
Into a grave In a coffin. He died this
week.
A quarter of a century ago, in Burl-
ington, la., he waa stricken with
cholera. He was thought dead, was
placed In an old board coflln and was
being lowered Into a grave when a
friend stopped the proceedings, de-
claring that he believed Magee was
alive.
The coflln was raised, a doctor sent
for and Magee was revived. He was
nursed back to health. For more than
a year, however, he had been In poor
health, and there was no doubt of his
death when he passed away this week.
"Old Mack" was the name under
which Magee was best known In the
vicinity of Hopkins. He was born In
Ireland In 1820 and came to America
with his parents when he was three
years old. He lived In New York and
New Jersey until manhood and
learned the trade of a plasterer when
a youth.
He went from New York to Bush- |
nell. 111., In 1862, and there married
Heater Ann Pierce, daughter of a
wealthy land owner. After his wife
died he became a wanderer and trav-
eled over much of the United States.
He took up the work of contractor
and built a number of the Harvey
eating-houses along the Santa Fe, be-
tween Newton, Kan., and Albuquerque,
N. M.
Although he was an avowed free
thinker, shortly before his death he
asked that a minister be called and
he died praying that his sins be for-
given.

DISTRIBUTOR
PASTOR BUILDS BIG FENCE
All Work on Stone Wall 100 Feet
Long Done by Himself—Build-
er* Praise Work.
Montclalr, -N. J.—Rev. Dr. Thomas
Travis, pastor of the Watchung Ave-
nue Congregational church, who is
one of the few Montclair preachers
who did not take a vacation, finished
the construction of a stone fence about
100 feet long and two feet thick on
the grounds of his new $15,000 home
In Watchung avenue. The labor was
all done by his own hands, and build-
ers say It reflects credit on his ability.
Dr. Travis is a great believer In
outdtor work as a means of promoting
health. A large wood pile at the rear
of his grounds attests to bis energies
in 8till another form of manual labor.
He also Is an excellent gardener and
spends much time looking after his
plants and vegetables. Dr. Travis also
Is well known as a criminologist, hav-
ing written a book on the subject. Re-
cently he caused a sensation by bis
denunciation of conditions In the Cald-
well penitentiary, which is maintained
by Essex county. Dr. Travis de-
nounced the penitentiary authorities,
saying they have not adopted modern
means of reformation. He advocates
outdoor work for Inmates of penal in-
stitutions.
BOY OF 5 INHERITS $116,000
Master Earl Holmes, Aged Five, It
Made Rich by Will of Marlon,
III., Uncle.
Pasadena, Cal.—To fail heir to
$116,000 was the fortune of Master
Earl Holmes, aged five years, accord-
ing to his father, W. Frank Holmes
of 712 Elmira street.
The child, too young to appreciate
the significance of the announcement,
merely replied, when asked what he
will do with his anticipated wealth,
"Oh, I guess I will give It away or
buy a lot of nice things for the other
boys and girls."
Earl can recite oIThand the capitals
of all the states in the Union, and
avowB that some day he will be presi-
dent of the United States. He Is be-
ing educated at home, and can read
and write as well as many children
much older than he.
Ttle boy'rf' mother will be allowed
to draw upon the legacy to the extent
of $75 per month," said the fattier,
"and this will be used to provide Earl
with luxuries dear to children."
Mrs. Holmes declares she will make
no plans until she receives official
notification of her son's Inheritance.
"The money comes from my broth-
er, Stephen Holmes, of Marlon, 111.,"
the father continued. "He left prac-
tically all he had to Earl. We wlU
educate Earl for the ministry, for my
brother was a religious man and gave
large sums during his life to the Bap-
tist church."
Mr. and Mrs. Holmes came to Pasa-
dena eight months ago from Marion,
111.
the sister, after studying the ex-con-
vict closely, denounced the man as
an kmposter.
At the approaching trial the attor-
neys for the receiver of the Arkansas
City bank will seek to disprove f,io
claim of the insurance company that
White and iKimmel are one and the
same man by the testimony of wit-
nesses who knew Kimmel and by the
.statement of John Boone Swinney, a
New Mexico ranchman, who declares
he saw Klminel killed in an Oregon
forest, August 14, 1898, which u a
few weeks after he disappeared from
a hotel in Kansas City.

Girl Teacher Lassoes Coyote.
Gillette, Wis.—Miss Alta Scott, a
Bchool teacher, while riding in the
country, lassoed a coyote which her
dog had scared up. The noose caught
one foot of the animal, which the girl
held until the dog attacked 1L Then
i she dismounted, seized a big stone,
1 and threw It, killing the coyote. The
teacher's accuracy in throwing the
stone is said to have been remark-
able, as dog and coyote were strug-
gling In such a manner as to make
it difficult to throw at the coyote
without danger of striking the dog.
Unique Outcome of Barb Wire Hit-
ting Gun Trigger—Canine Fastens
Teeth In Man's Cheek.
Bristol, Pa.—Edmund Phlpps of this
place was out gunning with friends
between Tullytown and Emille. They
had trailed a rabbit up to a barbed
wire fence, against a post of which
Phlpps carefully set his cocked gun
as he climbed through the wire fence.
He was about to reach for his gun
when his fine dog, which had been
some distance behind, suddenly dash-
ed up and Jumped through the fence.
As he did so he jarred the tightly
strung wire enough to topple the gun
over. In falling the trigger of the
weapon caught and the gun was dis-
charged so that the full charge of
shot struck the dog, fatally wounding
him.
The dog was a great pet of Mr.
Phlpps, and aB soon as he saw the
animal lying apparently dead he
thoughtlessly ruBhed over and picked
It up In his arms.
The dying animal, In Its blind
agony, fastened Its teeth In Mr.
Phlpps' left cheek and expired, and
the united efforts of Phlpps and the
other men were necessary to force
apart the dog's Jaws.
Mr. Phlpps' cheek was badly lac-
erated, and he hurried back to Bris-
tol as quickly as possible, where a
doctor cauterized the five wounds.
St. IiOiils, Mo., Jan. 31.—Attorneys
for both sides are busy at work pre-
paring for the trial of the famous
Kimmel case, which is set to begin
in the United States court In tills
city next Tuesday. The trial is ex-
pected to attract wide attention on
account of the many strange fea-
tures that the case presents.
The case to 'be tried is the suit
ibrought iby the receiver of the Fann-
ers' State Bank of Arkansas City,,
Kan., against a New York 1 insurance
J company to recover the amount of
J an insurance ipolicy held by George
j A. Kimmel, who 'was cashier of the
j bank at t'he time of his mysterious
j disappearance in 1898 and was heav-
ily indebted to the institution. The
whole case hinges on the question of
whether Kimmel is living or dead,
j This will be the t'hird time that the
| suit has been tried. At the first
trial a verdict for $8,000 was return-
[ ed in favor of the plaintiff, buf it
j was reversed 'by the court of ap-
peals. On the second' trial the Jury
disagreed.
! The insurance company claims a
; man known as Andrew J. White Is in
reality the missing Kimmel. When
I first discovered this man was serving
| a term at the Matteawan asylum for
the criminal insane. At that time he
| gave a number of startling facts
about himself purporting to iprove
that "he was Kimmel and upon his re-
! lease from prison a year or so ago
1 he went to Niles, Mich., where Klm-
j mel was born and raised and endeav-
] ored to establish his identity as the
missing man. Many old-time resi-
' dents of Niles declared that the man
[ was George A. Kimmel whom they
1 had known intimately. On the other
hand, Mrs. Julia E. 'Kimmel, the old
mother, and Mrs. Edna K. Bonslett,
