Millions In 1t.

A well-known Philadelphia citizen,
j. j. Boyle. has just returned from
Vigo, Spain, where he has discovered,
after a thorough and exhaustive explor-
alton of the inner harbor of that town,
Il fleet of sunken Spanish galleons,
supposed to contain not less than 500, =
600, 600 in bullion, which he expects to
rescue from 4 watcry depository.
These ga,ieons are portion of feet
of treasurc-ships sunk in the harbor in
the early part OF the eighteenth GEN.
tury, during Il conflict between the Eng
lish and Holland war-ships and a
French and Spanish fleet.
Mr.. Boyle, us soon rs he had located
the wrecks. secured the services of sew
eral divers at Liverpool, and work was
begun Immediately upon the vessels,
which had rested undisturbed for nearly
two hundred years. The gallcons were
huge, round-stemmed, clumsy vessels.
with bulwarks three or four feet thick,
and built up ut the stem and stern like
castles. Two sunken vessels were also
discovered and examined north of
the islands of Bayona and Esteles, in
Vigo bay.
Mr.. Boyle himself went down in a
divers suit TO the treasure galleons
sunk in the inner harbor and found the
vessels covered with mud to the depth
of four OF five feet. The woodwork
of the sunken fleet he discovered to be
in a sound condition. The number of
the sunken galleons is not known. but
the silver which is said to be in the
lower hold Of the vessels is supposed
to be not less than $20,OOO,OOO. Per-
mission to recover the money has been
obtained from the Spanish government,
and work will be commenced immcd-
iatcly.-Philadelphia Recori.

A Tribute to the Dudes.

One accomplishment of this recent
Arctic expedition will toforce a recast
of the more robust sentiment of the
day, which partakes, in a measure Of
contempt concerning men OF fashit l.
able cut and tastes. No stout store is
ordinarily put by man who parts his
hair in the middle, adorns the lapel Of
his coat with bouquet, and leads the
german. The knowledge of this much
about many men has caused them to
be called dudes. But perhaps Com
mander Schley and Lieuts. Greedy and
Emery. though offending in this way
will be excused from this structure.
Lieut.. Greely, as is shown by his re-
Gently printed picture, parts his hair
in the middle. and looks not unlike
James Russell Lowell, who stands in
rough and tumble circles as the boss
dude of the age. He has been so de-
nounced, even on the floors of Con-
gress.
Greely is a good dresser, too, and is
nice about most things. Commander
Schley is very fond of society and SUBJ
scribes to all its fashionable require
ments, and Lieut.. Emery is decided
devotee to fashion. He is cast in a
large masculine mold, but that does not
prevent his paying particular attention
10 his tailor and having favorite per-
fume. He is favorite in society, and
last winter, while awaiting orders here
to proceed to the land of ice and snow,
he was leading the german and distrib-
uting the favors with great relish and
success. 1t might be said, indeed, that
he stepped right out of the ballroom
on to the deck of his ship; and yet these
three men, all Of fashinablc cut and
fancy, which ordinarily excite derision,
have shown, in the face of the greatest
hardship and danger, courage and en-
durance that have challenged the adj
miration of the world. Greely, of del
icate frame as well rs taste. Outlived
men of powerful physical organization,
and Commander Schley and Lieutenant
Emery fought their way to his rescue
through mountains of ice and perils al
most unexampled. All three are down
now for ease and promotion, and can
indulge in all the society they have
stomach Wash. Cor. Louisville

Henry Clay's Fortune.

Henry Clay was pronounced insol-
vent by his Kentucky opponents in
1912, and they paraded some mort
cages on his property rs evidence of
his inability to pay his debts. In a
letter to friend. denying this calum-
ny, Mr.. Clay said: Il am not free. alb
solutely. from debt: l am not rich. l
never coveted riches. But my estate
would. even now, be estimated at not
much less than 100000. Whatever
it may be worth, it is a qualification to
me to know that it is the produce of
my own honest labor, no part of it be-
ing hereditary except one slave, who
would oblige me very much if he
would accept his freedom. 1t is suffi-
cient, after paying all my debts, to
leave my family above want if should
be separated from them. 1t is mat
ter also of consolation to me to know
that this wanton exposure of my pri-
vate affairs can do me no pecuniary
prejudice. My few creditors will not
allow their confidence in me to be
shaken by it. 1t has, indeed, led to
one incident, which was at the same
time a source of pleasure and of pain.
A friend lately called on me, at the in
stance of other friends, and informed
me that they were apprehensive that
my private affairs were embarrassed.
and that l allowed these embarrass-
ments to prey upon my mind. He came,
therefore, with their authority, to tell
me that they would contribute any sum
that l might want to relieve me. The
emotions which such a proposition ex-
cited can be conceived by honorable
men. fel. most happy to be able to
undcceivc them, and to decline their
benevolent proposition Mr.. Clay
never had any outstanding accounts at
and as he did not keep
house it was not difficult for him to
"pay as he went. lien: Rerley Poose.

Mrs. Browns Opinions,

What is my opinion of 4 pretty wo.
mans face? 1t is about the weakest
recommendation she can have, when
you get down to the real work of it.
but for the ordinary uses of society.
such as winning popularity. attention,
and Il husband. il probably takes first
place. Men are just Us big fools about
pretty face :s women, and women
are too silly for anything. We hardly
live week that we don't hear of wo-
men undergoing all sorts of tortures
to improve their beauty, even when
they have very fair amount of good
looks to start on. | was just reading
yesterday of one who had freckle

to remove the harmless little specks.

self now, she will see monument to
her folly, and if she has any sense at
all she will learn that something be-
sides beauty of face is requisite to give
her true beauty. 1t doesn't seem to
occur to a girl that the superficial
beauty of face is not warranted not to
fade, even though she sees every day
the disagreeably homely faces Of wo-
men who in their youth were consid-
cred beautiful. That women thus
place such value upon pretty face is
not compliment to the men for whom
they care most to be pretty. because it
is an open admission that men haven't
any more sense than they have, aud in
justice to my sisters, l confess that they
are right in their conclusions-the men
are not any better finished in their
skulls than the women are. If you will
look, however, among tine married wo-
men of the land you will discover that
homely women are about as successful
in winning husbands as the others, and
their homes and children are better
evidences than anything else as to
which class takes the gate money. All
the talk in the world will not change
public opinion in this matter, but there
is some comfort in being able TO let
know that on the outskirts
Of the crowd of beauty worshipers

Western Cyclones.

Up the Platte River in Nebraska, as
you may have heard, it blows. And a
elbow in Nebraska is different from
what it is in Illinois. The ordinary
summer breeze of Nebraska would
make IN Iilinoisan hunt his cyclone
cellar, and what a Nebraskan calls Il
blow is 4 widely different sort of ar
rangement. Cyclones are not common
in the great treeless State this year.
We were out there a few days since,
and learned that they did not average
more than three 4 week. Occasion
ally they have two in one day, but not
often. The Platte River has two
channels. When the wind is in the
south it fills one, when in the north
the other. We are credibly informed
by an old native-one who came
through with the 'forty-niners-that
the Platte sometimes overilows its
banks, and green people think it has
been raining above, when it is simply
the wind blowing up stream; and,
again, it goes almost entirely dry when
the wind is down stream. All the
stories of fish showers are true, and
they are all blown out of the Platte.
People 60 around in the evening regu-
larly looking to see whether the cables
that hold the houses to the ground are
all secure. and it is nothing for them
to sleep for hours with the house two
or three feet above the ground. They
have perfect contempt in that coun-
try for cyclone caves or cellars, and
people who have become accustomed
TO the wind say they wouldn't give
snap for breeze that couldn't blow
away a hole in the ground.-Peoria

Too True to be Sad.

He was busy man and she was 4

denly looked up from his paper and
