WINSTON AND THE SHAH,
He Accepted Four Elephants and Went
the Shah One Better.
From the st. Louis Republican.

From the st. Louis Republican.
The revival Of the rage about the shah Of
Persia has led to a story on Fred Winston of
Chicago, who for a short time represented the
United States at the Persian court. When he
arrived at Teheran he was met outside of the
city by the chamberlain of the court, who. in
the name Of the shah, presented him with four
elephants. Winston, who had never seen an
elephant outside of a menagerie, was paralyzed
at his situation, but managed to express his
thanks for the shahs kindness After he had
been presented and had assumed the duties of
his office his greatest official burden was the
care of his elephants. Relief came on the
second day. when the intimation was politely
conveyed that the shah expected q present
from him.
Certainly" said Winston. as a smile
wreathed his face. II have only been wait
ing to secure one worthy of so great ruler"
That afternoon he proceeded in state to the
palace and presented the shah with five ele-
plants. The chamberlain seemed to regard
the animals with suspicion, but Oriental polite
ness prevents the inspection of gift horse in
the mouth, and anyhow the extra elephant re-
moved all doubt.
THAT extra elephant cost me $780," said
Winston, in telling the story afterward. But
considered myself getting out Of a bad scrape
cheap at that"

A Large Brooklyn Refinery Destroyed
and Several Men Hurt.

A disastrous fire broke out Saturday morning
in the mammoth sugar plant of Dick, Meyer Il
Co. on North 7th and North 9th streets, in
Williamsburg. The fire started with an ex-
piosion, the exact cause Of which is not known.
1t is supposed to have been caused by the ex-
plosive nature of finely powdered particles Of
sugar which had permeated the air in the mills
where the granulated sugar was reduced to the
powdered product. There were three mills at
work reducing the granulated sugar to the
finely powdered article. The entire estab-
lishment, which consisted of a collection Of
buildings eight stories in height, extending
about 400 feet on North It'll street, 800 feet on
North sth street and $50 feet along the dock,
was reduced to a mass of ruins. It was filed
with very valuable machinery and the loss ON
the buildings and machinery is estimated at
about Sl.500,0O0. Within the building were
LOO barrels of sugar valued at about half
million dollars, making total loss Of about
S2,000000 There were number of men in
lured by the explosion or burned by the fire.
The mills employed about 200 men, who will
be thrown out of employment.

Heiress to a Missing Legacy

An interesting story comes from Chicago.
Some days ago Chief Of Police Hubbard re-
ceived a request from DR.. J. II. Brewer Of
Sioux City, Iowa, for the full names and ad-
dresses Of all the Adamses in Chicago. About
twenty years ago a man named Andrews eloped
with Miss Viola Adams, the daughter of a
wealthy resident of Chicago. The father cast
his daughter off, The young husband soon be-
gan to treat his wife harshly and finally she left
him and returned to her father, bringing her
baby daughter with her. Subsequently the
child was stolen and all efforts to find her were
unavailing. The grandfather left the missing
child a legacy of SAL, 000 1t now appears that
she was stolen by her father, who placed her
in the family Of Norwegian named Nelson, in
Des Moines, Iowa. where she grew up as their
daughter; Recently DIR. Brewer discovered the
facts in the case and secured confession from
the father. who had been playing the role of
friend Of the Nelson family. 1t was his inten-
ton to take the girl to Chicago and secure the
legacy for himself. The young lady is now
with DR.. Brewers family in Sioux City and the
doctor is endeavoring to find her Chicago rela-
tives.

A Tidal Wave of Counterfeits.

From the Philadelphia Record
Atlantic City has been flooded with spurious
ten-dollar bills during the summer and many
have found their way to this city. Their
presence has been discovered by a special ex-
pert OF the Treasury department, who has been
for some time trying to trace the counterfeiters
The original plate has never been captured,
although the Treasury detectives have been
searching for 1t everywhere. Atlantic City is
the Mecca OF the counterfeiters in summer and
pair of them arrived there on Saturday. and
by Sunday noon had placed over $500 in ten
dollar bills with unsuspecting storekeepers,
from whom they purchased tribes At O'Clock
on Saturday afternoon the banks close until
Monday morning. This was an important item
to the counterfeiters, as the bills would deceive
any one except q bank expert, and some Of
them even passed into the banks
