WASHINGTON. August 4.-The dead body
Of Addie Fletcher (cOlored), bead cham
bernaid, was recovered from the ruins OF
the United States Hotel ut hali-past 10 this
morning. II is now believed thai but one
victim remains,to be fond. This is Henry
Holt (colored), a pantry boy employed
by the hotel. An immense mass OF de9riS
remains to be removed from the spot
where it fell, and NO Idea Of the location
Of Hollis body beneath il has been gained.
The maia part OF the hoiel-that fronting
on the AVENUES intact, but Is OF course
deserted by the guests, and Is under the
euardiansLip OF the police. As large u
force Of laborers AS can be advaniageously
employed are at work oyerhauilng and re-
moving the dfbriS. Wide cracks in the
rear walls OF that portion OF the building
which remains Standing makes the task OF
the laborcrs one OF some danger.
Ldter.--A second body was taken to-day
from the wreck OF the old United states
Hotel. IT IL thought that every body has
now been exhumed from the d<bris.
OF the five injured persons one may die,
but the others are not seriously hurt.

world had outgrown its supplies Of the
precious metals. and that commerce

sources Of supply were South America,

Europe and Asia. and the island, Of

total production Of both gold and sill
yeT from the sources pctween 1892 and
1913 was equal IN value 10 El.140.Oo.-
90. The importation Of gold. howev-
or, vas small; and the total stock Of
the metal in Christendom in 1888 is
estimated TO have been only G5G0. Co.,
90. The production since ina; year
has been very remarkable. Let Us

began 20 coIne forward; and ~ ls5l
the Australian fields were opened. Be-
tween 1919 ana 1875 the production OF
the world is estimated az G6l5. 90. 900.

OF gold Was more than doubled. The

The Tradition or the Wooden Nut

see you discredit the wooden nut
meg tradition. In 1923 l heard the
following from Is gentleman who had
just graduated nj Bowdoin college. SO
that it dates somewhere in The four
years Just then expired. Among the
medical students was an Oldish practi-
toner from New Brunswick. who had
come to rub up his ideas and 10 get \
genuine degree of NJ. ID. He happened
to be in a crowd. where some story was
told of some sharp trick. At which ons
of tho company remarked: That
beats The wooden nutmcgs!' The New
I;runswicker blusned. and in some con-
fusion exclaimed. How did Won hear
Of the wooden nutnIcgs?' lie had
given himself away. and they made
him tell the story. He kept u small
stock OF drugs, To which he added IN
assortment of spices, etc, as is the
wont in country drug stores. During
the war of lSl2-15, some Of these got
quite scarce and with the return of
peace the smuggling ~peddiers made a
rush over the line and did u profitable
business. Our doctor took the first op-
portunity of the kind TO rcp!enish his
W stock, buying, among other things,
several pounds OF nutmegs, ~ he knew
there were none n the country, and ne
could dispose of them 10 other country
storekeepers. But before he had dis
posed of any his wife took occasion 10
sample them. and found them made of
wood. He hushed the thing up. hop
ing. as lie had bought tho peddler's

THE New York Herald published, re-
Gently, the titles of 364 divorce cases
now pending in Chicago, and drew the
conclusion that the laws of Illinois "offer
peculiar facilities for legal separation"
The Inter Ocean says, This statement is
simply untrue. The laws of Illinois are
no more lax in the matter of divorce
than those of New York, or of any other
State, in fact, where there has been a
modification of the old and cruelty un-
just restrictions which worked hardship
upon society, and created domestic in
fanny at the expense of public scandal. .
The same paper gives as a reason for the
unusually large number of divorces OBJ
tanned in that city, that it is not a settled
community, but one that is continually
shifting and growing.
