would have borrowed money from any

not IN any way connected with the

was with Polk as an individual and
was so small as not to create q suspi-

AN aNTIQUE CABINET.
The Widow OF General Meade
Appeals to the Courts fer
Its Recovery.

An antique sacerdOtal cabinet,
wrought in ebony and oak by the sun
ming hand OF a medieval wood carver,
is the subject OF a suit which has been
begun in Common Pleas Court Of
Philadelphia by the widow Of the
late General George G. Meade against
Charles Gunold, a cabinet maker, and
the Pennsylvania Museum and School
OF Industrial Art The suit is what is
technically known as an action OF
repleyin. The cabinet, which forms
the basis Of the contention, was
brought to this country in the early
part Of the present century by Richard
Mead, at that time Minister to Spain
and the father Of the late General. II
was Of the kind placed beside the altar
10 the early days of the church to hold
the sacred vessels used in the COM
munion service, and was most elabOr
ately oavved, containing futed
columns, Ionic capitals, foliated
scrolls, cupids, carved sea horses and
dolphins, besides statuettes typical
Of faith. hope and charity
and Scriptural texts. inlaid in
rare and precious woods. From
the elder Meade it descended to his
son, and in the course Of time be
came considerably scratched and de.
faced. In 1860 Mrs. Meade sent it to
a cabinet maker, William H.. Quass,
on Monroe street, for the purpose Of
having it repaired. At the same time
the civil war broke out, and in the
sorry and anxiety of the next few
succeeding years the cabinet was for
gotten and remained unnotioed in the
little Monroe street shop. Finally. in
The spring Of the present year, Quass
went the way Of oil flesh, and his ex
ecutors held a sale of his effects The
c .binet caught the experienced eye Of
Mr.. Gunold, who purchased it, and
then spent much time and labor in
restoring il to Its former beauty.
Having to a great extent succeeded in
this endeaYOr, be then deposited it In
Memorial hall. in charge Of the
museum, where it has since remained
on public exhibition. Recently il
attracted the attention Of the Gen
erals son, aud inquiry developing the
facts set forth, Mrs. Meade, through
her counsel, John S. Gerhard, insti-
tuted a suit for its recovery. Gunold's
title will be defended By John G,
johnson, and the interests of the
museum protected BY Samuel Wag-
ner.

but when the blaeksnake pressed tho

never changed its position. But the
