$4,000 IN A CHEST.
A Fortune Tel!er's Prediction That
Actually Came True.
1 La NnrL


From the Ne,U York Sun.
SEGUIN, TEX, April IA colored
woman named Hattie Davis has been living
here for the last ten years. Her husband
died three years ago. leaving her large
family OF children to care for.
She had been in destitute circumstances
for some time, and being a believer in
voodooism, she consulted the heavens, as
she terms it, a few days ago, and was told
to go to Nine Edna Schanider a fortune
teller. who would hep her out of her
financial troubles. The colored woman did
as the inspiration directed, and after a long
conference with the fortune teller the
latter, she says, told her to dig in certain
place on her property and she would find
buried treasure.
The Davis woman hurried home and be-
gan the work of excavation. She struck
the top of heavy iron chest at depth of
three feet, and after some hard work suo-
ceeded in completely unearthing it.
She then called in John s. Hurley, a mer-
chant, and with his assistance the chest was
brought to the surface and opened. II was
filed with Mexican gold coins, none OF
which was Of later date than 1846
The money was couuted and he total
amount was found to be Just $25, 900. The
money was placed in the hands OF the bank
here TO be changed for United States
coin.
The cash is supposed to have been buried
by Jose Martinez, a wealthy Spaniard, who
lived here before Texas declared her indie
pendence. He was ordered to leave town
suddenly at the time of the Mexican war
troubles, aud was soon sfterwArd killed in
battle. The colored woman. Is Wild with
joy over her good fortune, and has prom

CAN KITTENS INHERIT ?
An Interesting Question to Be Brought
Up in Philadelphia.

Up in Philadelphia.
From, the PhiIa1elphId Record.
The bar of Philadelphia Is famous for the
erudition of its members, but it is doubtful
if in all its history it has had more inter-
esting question to solve than one which will
soon be brought before Register of
Wills Shields. The curious fact has
already been published in the local papers
that the late Miss Susan Gorgas of Rox-
borough lert $4,000 as a fund, the interest of
which was to be devoted to the support Of
her old horse, and fund of 81 900, the in
terest OF which was to support her pet cat
Miss Gorgas left many generous legacies to
her employees and friends, and her will
provided that after the death of the horse
and cat the funds set aside for their SUD
port should revert 20 the human heirs and
heiresses in certain stipulated proportions
A most unexpected controversy has arisen
over the will, however, and 1t can only be
settled in a court of law. Ii appears that a
few days after Miss Gorgas' death the cat
gave birth TO five kittens, and three days
later herself passed away. her death was
not regretted by the human heirs, and the
five little blind orphans were about to be
drowned when the Misses Calsingham of
Rose street, Roxborough, two tender
hearted and conscientious ladies, suggested
that the kittens. being the direct heirs of
their mother should be brought up to en-
joy the $50 yearly income which would
have fallen to their mothers share had she
lived. This idea was fercely combated,
but the ladies in question resolved to see
full Justice done, aud O caveat has been
filed by their lawyer, John P. Worntaker.
Jr., with the register of wills, praying that
the will be probated until the question Of
the little orphans rights be settled, and
even If he decides against their claim the
claim will be carried on to the orphans
court.
Not only have the champions of the poor
little motherless kittens resolved to fight for
their rights, but they hint mysteriously at
foul play having been resorted to to put the
heiresses' mother out of the way, and that
there is trouble ahead for some one in com
sequence. A foster mother has had charge
Of the orphans since the day after their
mothers death, and they are in splendid
condition. One is jet black, one of the
tiger variety, and three are black and white.

wELLINaToN's RING IN PAWN.
The Strange History of a Jewel Now
Owned By a Boston Man.


From the Boston Herald.

cles as bold speculator is one of the regu-
lar customers of q well-known money
lender in this city. ana his usual pledge is &

Der corresponding with the number oppo-
site the name Of the eowner in the big book
kept for that purpose. After selecting a
little box the manager resumed his seat,
and said:
"This ring has history, and a romantic
one. 1t has been pledged numberless times,
and the owner would not part with it for any
price on account OF its history, which he has
related to me minutely several times, and
which | know to be authentic in every
particular. can give names, except in
later generations, just as he has told me.
Charles Carroll of Carrollton. signer Of
the declaration OF independence, had two
beautiful daughters, who went TO England
in 1894 One married the Duke of Leeds
and the other Richard Wellesley, brother
of Sir Arthur Wellesley, afterward the
Duke of Wellington. At the marriage Of
the latter, which took place at the Castle
of Dublin. the bride received this ring
from Sir Arthur Wellesley.
"You will see the two figures, painted by
Nomar, a celebrated miniature painter of
that date, are beautiful in design and exc
cution, and the manner OF the setting of
the pearls and rubies to the eyes of the
connoisseur, proves it to be genuine with
out doubt. This ring was worn at Brus-
sells the night before the battle Of Waterloo
at the party described in the welI-known
poem of Byron, beginning:
''There was sound of revelry by night
ITO make long story short, the ring de-
scended, generally by will, through differ
ent members of the Carroll family until it
came into the present owners hands by gift
from Letitia, the last OF the CAROLS, now
Mother Superior of convent in Baltimore.
"Think Of the bright eyes which have
gazed upon this beautiful ring.
"All the people living at the time this
ring was given to the beautiful bride in
Dublin castle are no more. All the great
armies of Wellington and all those mighty
hosts which followed the war drums of his
foe, the great Napoleon, have gone to the
great beyond, while this bauble, Just as
bright, the colors Of the paintings, just as
clear as ever, now reposes in the safe of a
Boston money-lender. From the Duke of
Wellington to a pawn shop, does this not
furnish food for thoughts"
