AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
Man and His Money. Separated During the
War. About TO Meet Again.

Corydon. Ind, Special to the Indianapolis
News.
A few days ago the postmaster here
received letter from Jordan Giles, of
Henderson, KY, who is secretary and
treasurer of the Ohio Valley Railway
Company, stat ing that he had certain
sum of money in his possession which
belonged to man named Bell, who
was at one time a resident of Corydon.
Mr.. Giles said that while he was in bust
ness in Paducah, KY, during the war,
Mr.. Bell came to him and left some
money with him, saying that he was go
ing on dangerous expedition to the
Confederate States and did not care to
take the money with him. Mr.. Giles
says that Bell requested HIM to send the
money to his sister in Corydon if he did
not call for it within certain time, but
says that he never thought of the nat
ter again from that day until the day
he wrote the letter to the postmaster at
this place. Friends of Major Horace
Bell wrote to him at Los Angeles, Cal.
about the matter, and received an am
swer yesterday. Bell says he left So, 900
with Giles. and has since been endeavor-
ing to find his whereabouts. He saws
that when Walter Q. Gresham was in
Los Angeles some time ago he asked him
about Giles. The Judge told him that
he had not seen Giles since the war, but
that he had made 81 200, 900 in cotton
during the Rebellion. Giles is native of
this place, and left here pennitess boy.

FIorida's Successful Season.
National Hotel Reporter.

The Nationa, Hotel Reporter relolces
at being able to chronicle the fact that
Florida is enjoying highly successful
season. We have always intended
that no other section of the United
States offers as many attractions and adj
tages to pleasure seekers and invalids
from November to May, as the State of
Florida. Discerning people who have
visited California during the existing
craze III that state, readily declare
that Florida surpasses it in every essen
tial feature as p ace of resort both for
the sick and the well. A friend of ours
writing from ST. Augustine under date
of February 10, says: Il have travelled
all over America, have been to Califor-
MIA a dozen times. am familiar with
every summer resort Of note in the
country, but / unhesitatingly declare
have never seen so much real
enjoyment as may be expert
enced here and at other points in
Florida at the present time. The mag
nificent Ponce de Leon Hotel, from
which | write, SURPRISES any description
that has been or may be written concern
ing it. 1t is palace indeed, and nothing
like it in the way of a hotel has ever been
seen. 1t is packed to the doors with de-
lighted guests, and | should say that
fully hundred people are turned away
each day. The other hotels here are all
doing splendidly, notably the Casa Mon
lea and the San Marco, and l found
equally large crowds at all the hotels in
Jacksonville. The Putnam House, at
Palatka, one of the best hotels in the
State, is doing splendidly, and
the remarkably fine hotel down at Rock
ledge, on the Indian River, is crowded
with people from the North. | learn
that both the large hotels at Thomasyille
are crowded and that the new Ogle-
thorpe at Brunswick, Ga, is making a
great success of its inaugural season.
The Reporter has made no mistake in
supporting the resorts of Florida and
Georgia so strongly during the past few
years, and my first visit to this section
of the country confirms the truth of all
have read in your columns concerning
the resorts of this most delightful coun-
try"

The Ronanartes as Hosts.

The BonaparteS are famous hosts

chosen with the tact and discretion that
are necessary to make any dinner !; sue

nowned for their graceful hospitalities as
IN Newport, where they are always
pointed out to anxious visitors as two of
the most interesting figures to be seen
here. On the avenue they are easily to
be distinguished at a distance, for their
servants all wear the Bonaparte livery
ecru with scarlet facings- which was at
one time very web known to France.
Col Bonaparte himself looks as little
like his famous Cofsican ancestor as one
could imagine. He is handsome man,
unusually tall, with fine and we'll de-
yeloped figure, and something in his high
bred face that. without resembling that
hero in the least, yet suggests the nobler
qualities of Napoleon. Not man in
Newport the season through IS half so
distinguished in bearing. and it is little
wonder that strangers invariably select
him from the rest as that particular char
acter whose history they long to know.
Mime. Bonaparte is a granddaughter of
Daniel Webster. To Bostonian that is
sufficient. No more is needed to assure
him that intellectually she has nothing to
desire, and, fortunately. she has also the
gift of good looks, which in Newport

TARIFFS COMPARED.

One Of the fallacies of protection Is
that the workingman is protected by the
tariff. One class of workingmen, the
farmer, whose success depends upon
hard toni and experience, is the class
that suffers most from high customs du-
ties. The imposts are upon almost ev-
erything he uses. If anything he raises

Gratis Of the Northwestern States APP

earnestly. Thirty-six of the leading Re-
publican editors Of Minnesota were

pressions on the subject to be unani-

SILVER SPRINGS, FLA, February IT,
In making winter tour Of Florida there
is no more charming place to stop over
and take . rest than Silver Spring before
taking the steamer on the famous Ockla
waha River to PaIatka. Silver Springs
is located at the head Of the nayigabie
waters of the Ocklawaha River. The
basin Of the springs has water surface
OF about three acres. The overflow of
the basin is about $4,000 gallons per
minute. The temperature or the water
at all seasons is 20 degrees. To see the
springs in their most perfect beauty one
must choose a day when the sun shines
brightly on the water. A col0red man
takes you out in row boat. You linger
the boat over the places where the best
views can be had into the mysterious
depths. Under these favorable condi-
tions one can gaze into fairyland, the
floors and walls of which are covered
with every tint OF the rainbow. The
maiachite spring is especially attractive.
The water, clear as crystal, reveals
every living thing in its depths, the sun
beams making them brilliant with bris-
matte colors. Here is splendid place

The recent discovery of the remains OF
a volcano near Mount Lamentation. the
highest peak in the chain of Meriden
hills, has excited the keenest interest in
scientific circles. 1t has furnished new
key to the geological history OF the Con-
necticut valley. The discovery was made
by Professor w. N. Davis, of Harvard
university. He has been engaged in
making an exhaustive study of the trap
rock of this state, and he made his happy
discovery of volcanic ruins while search
ing for an entirely different class of geo
logical phenomena.
Mount Lamentation has been visited
by large numbers of people during the
past few weeks The various scientific
associations of the state, and several
BIOLOGISTS of national repute. have care
fully examined the interesting curiosity.
No volcanic cone or crater Is still visible.
but the phenomena of the place clearly
indicate that in the triassic age violent
explosive eruptions of a regular volcanic
type We're frequent. Biologists have long
known that the trap rock of the Connect
Icut valley came up IN a molten condition
and afterward solidified. This liquid
mass sometimes solidified in assures in
the earth and sometimes overlooked the
surface like lava streams, and was subse-
quently covered up by a strata of sand
stone.
Professor Davis has discovered what is
technically known rs an ash bed. 1t is a
deposit formed when molten lava is
thrown hight the air by violent ex-
plosions, and comes down II a confused
mass, coarse and fine. In the triassic
period when these eruptions occurred
there must have been regular cones and
craters of the usual type, but these have
all been efTaced. 1t is very probable that
other ash beds may exist in the range of
Meriden hills. The geological history of
| this region has always afforded a rich
| field for scientific research and the re-
cent volcanic discovery has given a
greater scientific boom to it, Middletown
