1t seems somehow, to be difficult to get
at the truth in regard to the manufacture
Of tin plate in the United States. Positive
statements in regard to the erection OF
plants for such manufacture and the actual
commencement OF the business of supplying
tin for roofing and other purposes, by
American concerns, are printed every few
days, only to be followed by equally positive
statements by the New York Evening Post
New York Times and other free trade pa
pers, denying that any such business has
been started, or any American tin plate sup
Piled to the trade.
In WOW of those contradictions informa-
ton from sources outside of American poll
tics IS valuable. We find bit OF such infor-
nation in the London Eng Times OF Sep.

Walking matches seem to have fallen into
innocuous desuetude Of late and the latest
similar method of gathering in the public
shskels is the bicycle race which began in
New York at five minutes past midnight
Sunday night. Alleged champion bicyclers
from England, Scotland and Ireland are
competing with American long distance
riders to see who can cover 1900 miles or
moro in six days. The physical benefit to
be derived from this senseless proceeding is
not visible to the naked eye.

FROM THE TOMB,
A Family Bible Found in a Coffin
Furnishes Needed Proof

: A curious story of the preservation Of
records in a tomb has been developed at Chi
cage, lii, in connection with the discovery of
the inheritance of fortune. Mrs. Sidney
Hendricks, of that city, has been informed
that she has fallen heir to 50, 000 900 from the
estate of an uncle long since dead. Isaac
Phillips, from whom the estate descends, was
born May ?, 1866, at E&stOn. Mass. He went
South IN 1913. engaged in the slave trade and
accumulated a large fortune. Of this he de-
nosited the cash in the Manhattan Bank, of
New Y Ork City, and invested the rest in land
at Long Branch, aud in Holeston S. c.. and
IN houses and lots in Baltimore The cash
now in the Manhattan Bank aggregates S.
000 000
He died in 1884, his wife and only child
having previously died In 1871 the heirs
began to search for facts to prove their right
to the property. On an application to the
courts to compel the Manhattan Bank to dis
close al the facts relative to the deposit with
tns institution the court held that the heirs
must first furnish exact Information as to
the time and place Of Isaac Phillips death
ms they were unable to do. and the matter
dropped.
The next thing was to get an authentic
record of his birth. 1t was finally discovered
that the family Bible of good old Baptist
Deacon Philips, 1saac's father, had de-
Sc1nded to ISaaC's brother JACOB, and that
1t had been buried in the coffin with Jacobs
daughter. Susanna on June +, 1866, in the
Washington Street Cemetery at Easton.
Permission was obtained from the selectmen
a few days ago to open the grave. The fam
lily Bible was found somewhat decayed but
with the record still perfectly legible and fur
