HEADED UP INA RUM CAsK.

About three weeks ago the widow of Wal
ter l.. Newberry, of Chicago, died in Paris,
leaving large fortune, over 100000 Of
which by Mr Newberrys will goes to the
establishment of public library in Chicago.
Mr.. Newberry died at sea in 1867. A story
is published which has caused sensation
among the late millionaire's friends aud ac-
quaintauces, as the secret, if it is truly toIo,
has been perfectly kept up to this time. In
November, 1867, Mr.. Newberry sailed for
Havre to join his family, who were in Paris.
The friendly intercourse usual among ocean
travellers was not at all to his taste. He
was total abstainer; was always austere
and taciturn on shore, and he chose to re-
main so at sea, repelling every offer Of
friendship or even ofacquaintanceship. He
was recognized by a gentleman from New
York, who knew him by reputation, and
did not care under such circumstances
to force his acquaintance further. In such
surroundings, an alien in the midst ofhs own
people, Mr.. Newberry sickened and died. He
escaped the usual burial of those dying at sea
by the interference ofthe New York man who
knew him, and who assured the captain that
the dead mans relatives would meet any
expense incurred in keeping the body. A
cask of Medford rum that formed part of
the cargo was brought into requisition. Mr..
Newberry's body was placed in the cask
and of course was preserved in the alcoholic
liquid. When the cargo was discharged
the cask was rebilled by the New York
man to Mr.. Newberry's friends in Chicago.
Mrs. Newberry was then in Paris, fact of
which the gentleman referred to was ig-
norant. The cask left for America on the
next steamer and in due time arrived at
Chicago on freight train over the Michi-
gan Central railroad. The friends who had
been notified by the New York man of the
shipment of the body took charge of the
cask on its arrival and had it carted to
Graceland Cemetery on a dray. A grave
was dug and the cask, still containing Mr..
Newberry's body, was put into it and COW
cred up. Mr.. E. 1. Tinkham, wel.known
citizen who died some years ago, was one of
the participants in this affair and stated
the facts before his death. The body of the
millionaire still lies in the cask in Graceland
Cemetery.

Wards SING SING SCHEME.-.'I SEQ that
Ward has proved a failure as bookkeeper
at Sing Sing," said prominent New York
lawyer recently, sand has been put to kick
ing press Wonder when he'll get that
hospital room?"
"What hospital room ?"
why, the room that is to be fitted up for
him as soon as you reporters quit going up
there. Ward told Of it himself before his
trial. He said to Orrin Skinner, one Of the
prisoners in Ludlow Street Jail, that it had
all been arranged that he was to be put at
common work at first until the excitement
died out, and would then be given an easy
berth in the Office, and after little while a
room would be fitted up for him in the hos
pital. These favors, be said, would cost
him about $5 900 year. The programme
goes all right so far, doesn't it?
"By the way, did you ever hear how Ward
attended Gen. Grants dinner party? No?
Well, you see, it was years ago when The
firm of Grant & Ward had just started in
business. Fred Grant happened to mem
tion in the Office one day that his father was
going to give dinner party that evening
and that Vanderbilt, Cyrus Field and some
more of the big guns would be there. 'Ah!'
said Mr.. Ward, and nothing more was
thought of it. That evening Grants door
bell rang while the family and their guests
were at dinner and Ward presented him
self in full dress, with his crush hat under
his arm. Could he see the General for a
moment-just for moment? The General
came into the hall. 'Ah ! my dear General,
beg your pardon for disturbing you, but
Just stepped in for mopnent-at the opera,
you know-to tell you that had chance
to make little turn to-day-nothing to do
with the firm, but just little outside specu-
lation-and put you in. closed it up
this afternoon, and your share of the profits
is $1,000. / happened to have the check in
my pocket, so brought it over. Here tits,
General and Mr.. Ward prepared to rush
back to the opera. The General was de-
lighted, poor, simple old man, and swallow
ed the whole story. Would Mr.. Ward stay
and dine? No! Then at least he must
have glass of wine before he went away
Mr.. Ward protested, but finally permitted
| himself to be led to the dining oom-and re-
| mained until dinner was over. That invi-
tation cost Mr.. Ward $1,000, but he consid-
cred it cheap at the price. he had made
mis- point."-N. Y. World.
