John S5etson, the well known theatrical
manager of New York and Boston, has long
been favorite target with newspaper wits,
and he has been credited with numberless
misuses of the English language He has
finally become tired Of these pleasantries at
his expense, and in card to The New York
Tribune says:

one of the press, and a,s a manager who has

ton in tho theatrical profession, am en-

Finding the Hidden Fortune Buried
By an Eccentric Cid Man.
New York Sun.


81 have been sent for very often in my
time, - said an elderly detective, ito search
for money concealed by eccentric people.
There was more of this hiding away of cash
forty years ago than there is now, owing,
probably, to the doubtful character of some
of the old savings banks.
"Some fifteen years ago went up to
farm house in Orange county, at the request
of the heirs, to look for money The deceased
had had no striking characteristics for my
purpose, and, after trying several lines Of
search for three days, grew doubtful. His
riding saddle had been ripped open, his boot
heels knocked off for diamonds, his shoes
split up and his upholstery pulled to pieces
Bricks had been taken out, the hearth torn
up, and the wainscotings pulled down. Even
the backboards OF picture frames had been
taken out, and the boys had dug around the
roots of every tree N the orchard,
but still no money had been found.
The reward was too large to be lost, but l
was nearly at my wits end. Finally the
thought came like flash: Where was the
old gentleman in the habit of sitting? |
asked. oh, he almost always sat by that
window said the brother; but we've pulled
everything to pieces around there Sit
down just rs he did, The man sat down.
In which direction was he most apt to look!
Nowhere in particular; out of the window
generally Toward the baln?" No, this
way 1 followed the look; it was in the line
of an old, used-up pump. Which way did
he walk when he went out to the feldE
| Over to the pump, and then made bee line
for the pondn These answers had certain
significance Men like to have the place o.
concealment in sight, and it is well known
that they will often walk over money they

1 had the pump taken up and excavation:

great number of these skulls were trepanned
during lifetime, probably in infancy and
early youth, and that they healed
up again, the subject of the operation
surviving it for many years. The
theory is that the practice was
a sacred rite of some sort, it being found
that the skulls of those very persons who had
undergone the operation in their lifetime
were after death subjected again to the
same operations; number of small disks
were cut from them in such way that each
disk contained portion of the cieatrized
edge made by the original trepanning, these
disks being used as amulets by living per-
sons, the skull thus treated being in its turn
also provided with one of these taismanic
disks In place of those surrendered.

More at pearack to Make Merry.
New York SUM-
The blast of horns and the roll Of drums
hoated yesterday over the ancient New Jer-
sey homestead of Peter Zachariah Smith,
which is six miles from any railroad station,
and on the outskirts Of the primitive village
Of Peapack, which boasts n postofice and
stage coach resembling Chinese junk. The
old-fashioned gabled house and barns were
bright with flags. On platform in the
centre Of the grove town band furnished
music that scared horses. By afternoon there
were 1900 people on the ground. The de-
scendants of John Smith, of Holland, who
settled in New Jersey in i743, had met to eel
citrate him and the prosperity OF his numer-
Gus posterity. There were Smiths in
straw hats and Smiths in plugs, Smiths in
homespun and Smiths in clawhammers,
Smiths in army elevens, Smiths in French
calf, Smiths in woelen shirts, and Smiths in
immaculate fronts They came in all sorts
of vehicles and from all directions From the
natty rig of the heir of the family to the
rheumatic turnout Of the good old grandpa,
all were there, and the grove buz0ed with
confusion. The old officers Of the Smith
association were reelected early in the morn
ing in Peter Zachariah Smiths kitchen.
They are Josiah Smith, president; Abram
Smith, vice president; James C. Smith, sec
rotary, and Oscar Smith, treasurer. One
saddening circumstance alone marred the
general serenity. President Smith was not
present. He stayed away because refresh
nents were sold on the grounds against his
wishes
There was a grand dinner, moistened by
mineral water, under the orchard trees
Every one furnished his own food, so that
there was no gru1nbling. Farmer Peter
Zachariah Smith, one of the fifty-seven
grandchildren of John Smith, went about
among the feasters the picture Of happiness
The number Of pretty Miss Smiths who
waited on tables was surprising. Secretary
Smith stood behind tie register book in a
leafy bower and took down the names of
Smiths Of many generations. There are now
1850 Smiths recorded in his book. After
being photographed the crowd gathered
around pavilion and listened to speeches.
Abram Smith presided. His beaning face
lighted a glow Of brotherly affection il the
eyes of all the Smiths.

Addresses were also made by the Rev.
Messrs. F. A. Mason, Of Bernardsviile, Fred
Bloom, of Peapack, and Or. l. N Quinby,
the temperance candidate for governor Of
New Jersey. As the evening advanced the
crashing of the band grew more violent, but
there were no whirling couples. These

New York SUM-
We are told that in departing from hotel
in the White mountains, Mr.. William FL.
Vanderbilt left $1,000 to be dis
tributed among the walters. 1t is custom
airy for very grand royal. personages to scat
ter their gifts freely among those who attend
on them when they travel, and there are few
kings who have at their command so much
money for their personal use as Mr.. Wander
bit; but we never heard before Of his tipping
servants so heavily as that, especially after
very brief visit to hotel.
Mr.. Vanderbilt made an exception in the
case of the White mountain walters, it
seems, because they are not regular walters
but college students, who take up the
business in summer only, and only
while they are students. These young
men hire themselves out as walters for
small wages, and yet expect to lay by enough
during few weeks service to pay their ex-
penses at college throughout the autumn, the
winter, and the spring. They cannot earn
the money in that short time, and they have
no intention of stealing it. No, they will
beg it.
That is what it amounts to, though they do
not actually go around soliciting aims from
the boarders at the hotel. They only make it
understood that they are there to get gratu-
ities and, being what they are, they know
that the tips given them will be larger than
those handed to ordinary walters, who attend
on table as regular business and to make
their living. Of course, that is substantially
begging. The money is given them by the
boarders, not because they have earned it,
not because of their exceptional abilities and
assiduity as walters but because they are
poor young men trying to get through co..
lege.
1t is not at al probable, it is hardly pos
sible, that they are as expert at the business
as men who give their whole time to it; and
yet they know that people will fee them
better than the others in order to help them
along as poor students, or because men and
women would feel hesitation about giving
them an ordinary tip only. But whatever is
offered these young men take. Their hands
are always bent to receive the fee. Mr.. Van
derbilt's aims were therefore eargerly await
ed, doubtless. They must have expected
something handsome from SO rich a man.
And these are sons Of New England, born
and reared among the hills where manly self
reliance was once supposed to have its eS-
pecial abode.
Great men are not made out of the
sort Of material which enters into the
composition of lackeys. They are proud
and self-reliant in youth, not ready to hang
about waiting for gratuities. What they
get they want to earn.
