THE SECRET OF A FORTUNE.

About Silver Mine.
From the Baltimore american.

HTOH Htc DutCtHtOfc tHtti tCuIt
MooRFIELD, w. VA, Feb. 24.-Henry
Cater, a colored man, resident Of this
county before the war, has arrived here
upon rather peculiar errand, one which
promises to make him, as well as Others,
rich. For two generations or more there
has been local tradition of the existence
of rich silver-bearing ore in the mountains
back of this town, and just before tue out
break of tue war, John Cater, father OF
Henry, went to his master and told him be
ew where the silver was to be found, and
if he was set free he would disclose the
place. The master refused, and the slave
held ON to the secret.
When the war set him free, the Caters
moved to Mount Pleasant, Pa, where John
died, after telling his son Henry his secret
Henry has made several trips to the mine
for silver, but, although people have at
tempted to follow him, he has kept the
secret safe. He is now here with a number
of silver bricks and other objects, and has
signed papers with the present owners of
the land by which he is to receive 25 per
cent. of the proceeds OF the mine. A num-
be- of gentlemen, among them s. A. Nc
Meechen and II. S. Carr, have purchased a
large tract of land, under Caters di ec-
ton, and mining operations will begin at

Equal Punishment

One of the first purposes to which
women should address themselves in
their political agitation for the social
advantage of their sex is the equaliza-
ton of punishments for wrongs done
women with punishments for wrongs
done men. When one man assaults an
other with axe and club, knocks him
down and nearly murders him, the sem
tence of the court is apt to-be more than
brief Imprisonment of three or four
months. But in this enlightened State
and age man may assault his wife
with axe and club. and almost murder
her, and receive sentence of only four
months Imprisonment as witness re-
cent case in Quincy. Women should
strive for such an amendment OK our
laws as shall make brutal violence to-
wards men, and men should be earnest
to aid them in bringing about this adj
justment. demanded not alone by chiv.
airy, but by humanity. which is better.

exercise. II there is any thing pa,
thetic in the political situation, it is NOT
in efforts made to increase the sense Of
obligation, but in the efforts 30 con-
stantly made to remove it. Not until
suffrage is regarded as q sacred duty
will voters put their coincidence as well
as their brains into the ballot.
Nor does this duty seem any less sa-
cred when exercised by women. We are
unable to understand why it should be
any more odious for a woman to vote
for new alderman than for a new min
lister; why, if women send their child
rem to schools in which seven-eighths
of the teaching is done by women, it
should be any more odious for them to
choose the men and women who are to
serve on the school committee; or why
it should be any more odious to vote
for a mayor or governor than for school
committee. It is such distinctions IS
these which seem fanciful. not the OBJ
legations that underlie them.
If woman suffrage comes, it will be
because OF the elements of duty and
justice which enter into it; it will be
because it is felt that the women citi-
zens OF this country should have the
same political and legal privileges as
men wherever their interests are iden-
titled; it will be because the State needs
woman quite as much as woman needs
the State. And, if women exercise this
with fidelity, it will be because
they accept it as one of the sacred obli-
cations that pertain to their children,
their homes and their country Chris

WOMAN DETECTIVES.
Some Cases In Which They Can Do Better
Work Than Men.

Some Cases In Which They Can Do Better
Work Than Men.
Although for long time detectives
of the fair sex--and some of them of
good social status-have been employed
for the discovery of crime and grave
political offenses, and also for making
private inquiries where delicacy and
tact is requisite. female detectivism
has bnt occasionally been employed in
the United Kingdom for public pur-
poses. and even then with merely in
significant results. In q recent gov
eminent report upon the Scotch police
by Captain Munro, Her Majesty's In
spector for Constabulary of Scotland.
he says that the employment of few
women on the detective staff in large
and populous places ,oight possibly be
of valuable service. Owing to this
statement. and the important fact that
the employment Of women as pri-
vate detectives in London has
made great progress, q writer in
the London Queen has carefully in
vestigated the subject of this article,
on which he has received some 4ppre-
ciab.e informationfrom those who arc
the most competent to speak with au-
thority on the question.
As regards the engagement Of women
for the detection of crime in this coun-
try it is not only very limited, but mere
IL extends to q few offenses, the most
important of which appear to be shop
lifting and pocket-picking cases and
other thefts. In these and other In
stances they generally act under the
guidance and close supervision Of reg
ular members Of the detective stan.
Some years ago large firm of omnibus
proprietors always engaged women to
find out the dishonesty Of the conduct
ors Of these vehicles in robbing their
masters Of portion Of their fareA and

inal and political investigations. On
the other hand, in Paris, Berlin,
Vienna. ST. Petersburg and other
large centers of population on. the
continent the detective service rem
dered by women to the police in these
cases is very valuable. The social
position of ladies employed is often of
a superior order, while their general
knowledge is very advanced. Tho
diplomatic corps of some continental
nations engage ladies as detectives out
of their own country. It is stated that
a few of the fair sex are employed in
London on behalf of the French and
German embassies, and render very
efficient help. to those to whom they
are responsible for such.
Now for private detective work in
England-as that required in divorce
cases. tracing missing friends, and
other secret inquiries "a great number
of women are employed. and their
number and services have immensely
increased during the last ten years or
Whereabouts, when female detectivism
