Cures for Warts.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
am collecting the cures for warts When
was boy 1 had twenty-seven warts on nv left
hand. An old gentleman told me to get twenty
seven white pebbles from the run and put
them in a bag This did and threw the bag
in well-frequented thoroughfare. saying,
may the finder increase as decrease" This
immoral proceeding meant that wanted the
finder to have my warts. Whether he inner
tied them or not was never able to learn but
my warts went away soon enough after the
pebble incident to convince my youthful mind
OF the efficacy Of the remedy. The other day
an old gentleman from Loudoun county told me
that he cured wart or wen by taking stick
from the road and turning to the moon just on
the edge of the horizon said:
What l rub, decrease.
What see, increase
The moon certainly waxed from that hour,
and, stranger still, the excrescence went away
Ii some of your readers will send me their
prescriptions for warts will keep them in a
ba tch aud publish them. 1t is very important
to mention the source Of the lore, whether
German. French, Indian, African, &C., as we'll
as the location where the prescription is fol-
lowed. o. T. MASON.

A Third Session of Congress,

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR;
have read with interest your leader in re-
gard to the sessions of Congress, and am glad
to see that the present unfortunate arrange
ment is attracting attention. Nowhere else in
governments having legislative bodies, elected
by the people, is such an anomalous thing
known as the preclusion of the meeting of the
representatives of the people for thirteen
months after their election, and the time has
come when its existence in the United States
should cease if Congress ID TO transact the vast
business of the country.
The remedy is very simple. As was done in
1866, let law be passed requiring Congress to
meet on the 4th of March succeeding the cleo
ton OF Representatives. Then they can sit
three or four months in the pleasantest season
OF the year, and the next year avoid session
protracted through the summer. CID.

A Question Of Practice,

In reply to letter from New York firm re-
lating to the question whether declarations to
entries can be made before a notary public
who is also partner Of the firm making the
entry, Assistant Secretary Spaudling of the
Treasury Department says that upon submit
ting the matter to the collector at New York,
that officer reports that although there is no
provision Of law directly against the course
suggested yet that, on common principles, it
cannot be admitted that such an officer as a
notary public or justice of the peace can or
should act officially IN a matter wherein he has
a personal interest, much less where he is

AFTER FIVE MILLIONS.
A Laurel, Md, Woman Seeking to
Establish Her Claim.

After working nearly fifteen years to estab-
Iish their claim to the legacy Of 5000 900 left
by John Mullanthy, the heirs of John Welsh
to whom this estate was willed. are in hopes OF
coming into possession. 1t came to them in a
queer way. One hundred years ago Mullanthy
and Welsh were partners in Ireland They
owned fishing boat and divided the pr OTIS
One day Mullanthy jumped with all the money
and 1t is the amount he took, with interest
that now goes to the Welsh descendants.
THE MULLANTHY HEIRS.
Mulanthy died in st. Louis, where he made
his money, and made Bishop Rosetta of Balti-
more one of his executors. Mrs. John Powers
granddaughter of John Welsh who lives with
her daughter, Mrs. j. s. Brown, at Laurel, Md,
Is the principal claimant. Her husband labored
until his death, last November, to establish his
wife's claim, every dollar the old man and chill
dren earned being devoted to the case. Once
Mrs Powers went to Europe to search for evil
dence. Ten years Of their time was spent
in vain in st. Louis. Recently new evidence
was Obtained and Senator Rice of Arkansas has
taken the matter In hand
Mrs. Powers, who is seventy-three years of
age, did not learn of the legacy until many
years after reaching America A letter had
been sent to her former home in Ireland by the
bishop OF st. Louis and addressed to John
Welshs heirs. The letter had been in keeping
OF the parish priest. but had been returned to
the bishop of St Louis many years before Mrs.
Powers reached Ireland.
THREE QUESTIONS ASKED.
She was advised by the priest to return to
America and to appeal to the bishop, who had
then become the archbishop Of st. Louis, for
the legacy. She was closely examined, how
ever, by the parish priest, and three questions
were applied to her. They we're said to have
been asked in the letter returned to the arch
bishop. Mrs. Powers said that she satisfac-
torily answered two of these relating to local
family history. She says that she can now
answer the third, which also relates to family
history. This last question will she thinks
establish her claim and secure for her the
money. Mrs. Powers has six children, two Of
whom live in ST. LouIs.
SENSATION IN ST. LOUIS.
The suit of Mrs. Powers against the Mullanthy
estate in st. Louis has caused a shudder in
aristocratic circles in which the Muilanthy
heirs move. Strange to say there is a mystery
hanging over the early life of John Mullanthy
lasting up to the moment Of his settlement in
this country. Whatever its cause the reticence
of the Mullanthy heirs upoa the subject OF
John Mullanthy's life has many times been re-
marked, and has even been complained of in
the pages OF biographical sketch OF Bryan
Mullanthy, the founder Of the fund. Mullan-
thy landed in Baltimore in 1894, and went to
ST. Louis In 1904. 1t was over his cotton that
the battle Of New Orleans was fought, and he
subsequently made $500. 900 from this cotton
1t was the foundation of his fortune.
