OF P~ascagouia, was opened daring
Tuesday night by unknown marau-
dcrs, who dug n large hole into the
side That borders The little Yazon

hidden treasure of Lalllic, which
tradition hands down, was buried
some where along this Coast. The
depth of the excavation was fully
twenty feet, which made a gaping

MRS. HARRISON BETTER.
Her General Condition Improved, But

Loon LAKE HOUSE, \. y, Sept. TO-
General condition may be said to beim-
proved" said DR.. Doughty today, just
after an examination of Mrs. Harrison.
"Her condition is slightly improved,
but is still critical" wired private Sec
retary Halford to those who were anx-
ious inquirers during the day.
Mrs. Harrison has improved IN some
slight degree, but she is stl II IN most
critical condition. She is by no means
on the road TO recovery, but danger
of death is not so imminent as It was
few days ago. Her fate is hanging
in the balance. The physicians
will make no predictions con
cernlng her chances for recovery. The
president and the members Of his
party looked more cheerful than they
had for many days, when they came
TO the hotel for dinner tonight.
Faint hope had been born after
the operation of the morning and it
sufused the faces of the afflicted fam
ily. Some Of them took much needed
exercise after the confinement OF the
past week by good boating on the lake.
The president. however, remained in
the cottage near bis invalid wife. Many
messages Of inquiry and svmpsthy
were received bv the president today.
