The National Appalachian Park conven tion was called to order in this city this afternoon at 8 o'clock; President Rutherford P. Haves, son of United Slates President Hayes, presiding. The opening session was devoted to the president's address, speeches by prominent men interested in the Ap palachian national forest reserve, and the various reports of the organiza tion. In his address President Hayes gave a summary of reasons, embraced in the President's message to Con gress, why the reserve should be estab lished. , t. Secretary- Ambler submitted his re port, showing a summary of the entire work ol the association since it wa organized. Other committees' reports were read, after which addresses were made hv State Geologist Holmes, or JNortn Carolina, and Hon. Joshua W. Cald well, of Tennessee. Mr. Holmes advocated government ownerahiD of forests. He said : "The nrntection and nerDetuation of the forests of this country, especially of the mountain forestf.about the sources of important streams, must be recog nized as a national problem. "Its imnortance is too widespread and the consequence of its neglect too serious and too lasting to permit of its being relegated to local or mate Con trol 4 'In addition to the perpetuation of a timber aunnlv. which is of itself a problem of national concern, the pro tection of the sources of our water sup nlies. which are intimately associated with the protection of the forests, is eauallv worthy of the nation's con cern. . "A nation's climate, a nation's water resources, and its timber supply ate matters of too vast and lasting Influ ence to cermit of their being left to chance or local care. "Furthermore the perpetuation of this region as a health and pleasure re sort is of itself worth more to the na tion than all it would cost." The convention to-night drafted the following resolutions and memorial to Congress : "Resolved, That this convention heartily approves the action of Con gress in establishing the great national forest reserves in the Western Stales and territories, and the more recent tction of Congress in providing for the construction of a great system of irrigation works in these Slates, and inasmuch as the forests and the soils which these forests protect in the Southern Appalachian region serve as natural reservoirs for the storage for the water which falls in excessive rains in this region, this convention asks the co-operation of Senators and Representatives in Congress from the Western States in securing the passage of the Appalachian forest reserve bill now before Congress as an extension to these Southeastern Btatea or the great policy of natural water storage by the government, which has already wisely been inaugurated in the West. In consideration of the fact of the rapid and steadily increasing rate at which the forests on the slopes of the Southern Appalachian mountains are being destroyed, the growing frequency of the floods carrying away the fertile soils from this region and depositing the same in navigable streams, having recently caused over eighteen millions of dollars ofjdamage. this convention urges the Congress to the prompt pas sage of the bill now before the House of Representatives providing for the establishment of the national Appa lachian National Forest Reserve as the only possible means of overcom ing the existing and increasing evils."

DOWN the TOBOGGAN SLIDE - - By Charles Wilstead CopyrtOhU 190. bu the . ' S. S. Mctwre Lomvcmy "Father will have a cold drive from town tonight against that awful wind," remarked Mrs. Muir as she drew her chair up to the old fashioned fireplace, between her son and daughter. "Hope he won't come by the new rodfc The bridge over the ravine isn't Just In proper shape yet." "Listen I There are sleigh bells," in terrupted George. "It's not father," volunteered Mary. "He took the old harness with the string bells." "No," said George, winking at bis mother; "those bells belong to Fred Watson, and you know It. Who is leading in the race now, sis Ed Simp son or Fred?" "Mother, make him behave," plead ed the girl. "Oh, George, don't be such a teasel Open the door and help Fred put the horse up." "Well, I am betting two to one on Simpson, Mary. He la a poor starter, but he'll finish strong," laughed the young man as he reached for his hat. i If Mary heard, she made no reply. In a moment he returned. "Sis," he shouted, "Fred has the colt hitched op to his new cutter, and he wants to know if yon will go over to Thomp son's." "Not as far as Thompson's," answer ed Mrs. Muir. "It is too windy and cold, but If Fred has plenty of wraps you may drive down toward the vil lage and come home with father." The young people were soon speeding along the road. Near the ravine they came upon Ed Simpson, dragging a to boggan. Ed was passionately fond of the sport and generally went to the hills on the nights when Fred Watson was at the Muir home. Mary had a great fear of tobogganing and would not share his pleasure. , Fred Watson and Ed Simpson, ac cording to village gossip, were both courting Mary. Mr. Muir was said to look with favor upon Fred. Simpson, on the surface, was more the friend of George than the lover of Mary. He had come up to Maysville from the city two years before to start a small com mission store and was well liked by the farmers of the community. Fred was the son of rich Farmer Watson and did little else than drive a good horse. Timid little Mary. If she had any preference, hid It successfully. And both men had vowed to have a definite answer soon. "Going to the hills on a blowy night like this?" called Mary as they passed Simpson. "Yes," -came the good natured reply. 'It takes worse weather than this to spoil sport for me." The cutter sped on, and Ed plodded cheerily along the road, deep In thought. f Suddenly the jingle of bells ahead stopped. Looking up, Ed saw that some one was struggling to Jump out of the cutter. It was a girl's figure. In stinctively Simpson rushed forward, dragging the toboggan behind him. As he came nearer he heard her gasp: "Please go. Drive like mad by the old road, and I will wait here and call to father should be come from the oth er side." 'No, Mary," answered Watson, "I will not go and leave yon here." "What's pp?" cried Ed. hurrying to the side of the cutter. 'Oh, Mr. Simpson, the new bridge has given way in the center. There- see, it nas carried away me ugnts on the other end. If father should come this way, he would drive straight to death. Mr. Watson, please hurry 1 Oh, do!" "Miss Mary," interrupted Ed, "let me stay here, and you drive round with Mr. Watson. "Tls too cold for 'yon to stand here." .; 'No, not I would only be an added burden for the horse. Oh, why don t yon drive on, Mr. Watson?" "There is the light of a rig down at the second bend," cried Ed excitedly, pointing across the ravine. Then, with out another word, be seized the tobog gan and rushed for the edge of the hllL Watson, realizing that time was pre cious, whipped up his horse and made for the old road around the ravine. The distance was fully two miles, but the rig on the other side was fully half a mile from the bridge, coming slowly. He might make it "You are too late, Watson," yelled Simpson. "Stay here with Mary. I will go down the ravine." Watson was out of hearing, but Ma ry Muir took in tne situation at a glance. "Mr. Simpson." she called, running after him, "you must not! See! The wreck has fallen right across the foot of the slide, and you will rush to your death. Please don't go that way." "I must. There is a slight opening there to the right, and I can make it in the moonlight. Besides, it's your fa ther or me, and I can take the chance, for" he hesitated a second, then spoke hurriedly "Watson will never catch him in time, but I will catch him at the foot of the first turn if all is well." 'Can't we call?" she. asked appeal- lngly. "No. The wind is too strong from that direction." "Then I am going with you, Ed." Ed! She bad never called blm that before! 'Mary, dear, it might mean your death. You must not come." She laid ber hand on his arm. "I am going. Ton can steer better with two on board. And, Ed, I know you Wlli-be more careful if I am with yon." very gently and without further par ley he placed her on the toboggan in front of him, then pushed the sled to the brink of the steep decline. 'Hold fast, little one," he said, "and before we leave" He stooped over her and, raising ber white face, kissed it tenderly. And then they were off. Like an arrow shot from the bow they sped over the snowy' surface down to the bottom. Along the level they dashed for a few furlongs, straight through the only opening in the wreck age of the bridge, then over the Icy surface of the creek, on, on np the hill to the first turn of the road, then- crash! Ed was dazed even as he scrambled to his feet. "HI, there r called a voice. "Sure as shooting, you've killed that gal!" A sturdy, heavy set man tumbled out of a rig and came running down the hill. ; 'Yon idiot, you ought to be Jailed for' this!" sputtered the old fellow in great! excitement. But Ed heard not 4 word.) He had Mary in hia arms when the in-l fnrlated farmer seized Mm - - - vjj uiei shoulder. -I "She ia killed, you young idiot, and I'll see that yon hang jfrr it! Give her For Group use OHE- niSTB EXPECTOR ANT. ror tale by J. a Bhepard to Tire, "EOT wnose aaugnterTr she, sir?" - Then, as Simpson, recognizing the voice, turned about the old fellow exclaimed in. surprise: "If it ain't you, Simpson, I'll be blamed! .1 al ways knew you for a venturesome idiotl And my God my Mary!" 1 . "Hush, father. I am-not hurt; not even a bit frightened. And please, fa ther, don't abuse Ed that way. Yod would be thanking him if you knew what be risked for me I mean for you." j ... Then, catching sight of Simpson's face, cut and bleeding, womanlike she turned from the embrace of her parent, threw her arms about her lover's neck and burst into tears. - "No, sir, he Is not a young fool," said Mr. Muir emphatically as he drove home with Fred Watson, having turn ed his own rig over to the young cou ple. "Confound it, sir, he is a man In a thousand, and I am as good a Judge of men as Mary, sir!" - Sensitive Gems. . The discoloration of precious stones when they have been exposed to the air for a long time Is considered one of the most frequent maladies. Emeralds, rubies and sapphires are those which remain intact best Nevertheless, they are not exempt from changes. Two rubies of the same size and shade were kept for two years one In -a showcase and the other away from ail light. At the end of this term a com parlson revealed that the first had be come somewhat lighter In color. The influence of light makes itself felt more plainly on topazes and gar nets. The garnet turns much paler In a short time, 'while the topaz assumes a darker shade and even loses .the bril liancy possessed by it when freshly cut. ! . . . The most sensitive stone in this re spect is the opal. This stone draws its marvelous rainbow reflections from nu merous little clefts, which allow Wie light to pass, and reflect it In different directions. Often the opal stands the manipulations of cutting and polishing well, and all of a sudden it splits. Pearls deteriorate very easily. In the fire they are transformed into a piece of lime.

Oh, thaf s Greek, I guess, and means that you are fooled. Now, for instance, a man in a restaurant the other day ordered broiled mackerel, and be ate it with great relish, loudly declaring that broiling; Is the only way to cook mackerel. - But was his mackerel broil ed? Not much. It is too much trou ble to broil a fish, so the cook put it in a pan and fried it and then made burn ed lines across it with a redhot poker kept In readiness . for such emergen cies. So "the man was hornswoggled;" but, as he didn't know it he was as happy as though he had really eaten broiled mackerel. I tell you, imagina tion Is three-fourths of life." CURRENT COMMENT A striking feature of the reso lutions adopted by the convention of the anthracite miners was the phrase, "We, the duly elected representa tives of men and boys emyloyed." This is probably the first time on re cord that a 1 convention of men as sembled to decide upon a really na tional controversy in which the Amerioan boy has boon reoogniaod as an element of considerable conse quence. Mobile Register, Dem. And now Secretary Wilson thinks to aid the administration by the bamboozling statement that "it Is wrong to think that the Republi cans do not believe in tariff re vision; they do, whenever conditions require it." The last is the saving clause; but the people think the conditions require it to be done as soon as may be, and the Republican politicians ! do not, because the Trusts do not. Brooklyn Citizen, Dem, : Secretary Shaw is disposed to be a trifle fussy because the Demo crats failed to do something to the trusts when Mr. Cleveland was President. The trusts were not doing much in the ice-cutting line when Mr. . Cleveland was in the White House. But in utilizing this line of argument does not the able head of the Treasury Department tend to direct attention to the fact that the legislative and executive branches of the government have been controlled by the Republicans for the past five years and that there has been absolutely nothing doing in the anti-trust line? We wonder if Mr. Shaw is really making votes for his party. Washington-Post Ind. Joseph M. Terrell. Democrat, wai inaugurated Governor of. Georgia yes terday. CASTOR I A For Infanta and Children.

Lonbok, October gS.Kine Edward aud Queen Alexandria started on their royal progress toward the city shortly after noon to-day in somewhat dull weather. The rain, however, kept off, and the temperature was sufficiently mild to make the day enjoyable. Tne procession moved from Buckingham Palace to Trafalgar Square, Temple Bar, the Mansion House and Guild Hal), where luncheon was served . Theuce the royal pageant traversed several miles on the Surrey side of the Thames. There was no apecial incl dent here, though the heartiness of the welcome far transcended anything heard in the more aristocratic por tions of the route. Their majesties re turned to the palace at 3:80 P. M. Fire at Guild Hall. The Guild Hall caught fire shortly after their majesties left the building. The fire was in the dome of the Guild Hall, some distance from the part of the building where the luncheon was had. The firemen easily subdued the flames. The fire is said to have been caused by a fuse in the wire. The out break of the fire caused intense excite ment. A. large number of engines and fire-escapf s dashed up, scattering the crowds which still remained in the streets. Many members of the corpo ration and a number of visitors were still in the precincts . when the alarm was given. These hurriedly departed to make way for several hundred fire men, who dragged ladders over the crimson cloth on which the King had so recently walked. Several or the firemen expressed the belief that the fire wa smouldering while King Ed ward was actually at luncheon. Suspect Arrested. The Sun says that George Martin, a clergyman, was remanded at the South wark police ! court to day, charged with having a pound of gun powder in his possession, with feloni ous intent. He was arrested near a stand on the south side of the river. The arrested clergyman proved to be a religious enthusiast, who objected to the erection of a stand around St. George's church in the borougb, and who purchased a small quantity of gunpowder, insufficient to do real damage. He will probably be placed in an asylum. Rev. 1 Dr. Martin was arrested at the time of the coronation of King Edward for a similar escapade and he was also arrested at Backing ham Palace, where he waa demanding an audience with the King on the subject of the erection of the stand around St George; church.

They Hans Out a Pincushion. In some of the cities of Holland, such as Haarlem, the birth of a child is an nounced to the neighbors and all who chance to pass by the curious custom of hanging a pincushion outside the door. If you walk past a house and see a white pincushion edged with lace and looking very dainty, you may un derstand that the number of Inhab itants has been increased by one, and that one a glrL "When the happy couple are blessed with a boy. the color of the pincushion la red. In Japan the people do something similar, yet more extensive. Outside the houses of a town you will see one or more paper fishes dangling and blow ing in the wind. On making Inquiry you are informed that the paper fishes represent the boys of the household- Every new boy moans another fish. These Imitations of the koi are decorat ed with colored silk and are thought a great deal of. The fish which the Japanese call koi Is noted for Its courage and tenacity, and is therefore regarded as a fitting representation of the coming man. A Parse For the Bride. Some brides may be inclined to re- sret that the old marriage custom of the dow purse has fallen into disuse. It was the custom of the bridegroom to fill a purse with a goodly sum of mon ey and Dresent It to the bride on the wedding day as the price of the pur chase of her person. It sounds like slavery, like the buying of goods and chattels, yet the bride had a nice little sum of money for her own use. Some of the oldest inhabitants of Cumberland may remember a similar custom In that county. The bride groom provided himself with a number of cold and silver pieces, and at the words "with all my worldly goods I thee endow" he handed the clergymaq his fee and poured the other coins Into a handkerchief held out for that pur pose by the bride. In other places, again, the bride had the right to ask her husband for a gift tf money or property on the day after the wedding, and .he was bound in honor to grant the request. London Answers.
