A Presentation Service Which Was Lost
for Twenty Years.
A famous tea set of silver, which
cost 81, 500, and was presented to John
Daggett, now superintendent of the
San Francisco mint, in 1872, was
placed SO n after for safe-keeping in
custody of a firm in that city Thir-
teen years later Mr. Daggett went for
his silver. The box was not to be
found.
The seIior member of the firm ad-
mitted that he remembered the chest
as well as if he had screwed down the
lid yesterday"
Il have the screT-driver yet, he
added
Safes, cellars. lofts were ransacked,
but no chest with a screwed lid was
found. Then ap zeal was made to the
courts. The case was shuttlecocked
from one to another for seven long
years
The other day the junior partner of
the firm busted an old, unmarked box,
which the traditions of the establish
ment said belonged to people by the
name of Ober, who lived in Oakland
It's been here twenty years or more"
said he; 'I'll see what there is in it,
The lock was rusty and a mechanic
was called in. Opened, the box re-
vealed Daggett's silver service 1t was

And several men had sworn in court
that that lid was screwed down in
their presence.

forty pages of advance and rev ew
which made up the normal day

Taking advantage of DR.. Porters
easygoing recitations. the young feL
low hit on the following device: He
divided the forty pages into eight
sections of five pages each. For each
section he prepared an answer, usually
based on suggestive line or two,
sometimes evolved purely from inner
consciousness
AT recitations he simply watched
DR. Porter turn the pages, basing his
answer absolutely on the pa ges turned.
From pages five to ten meant answer
No .. from pages twenty-five to thirty
answer No. &, and so on, not the
slightest attention otherwise being
paid to the question. The young
pioneer in psychology, who ratified
off the answer with all the flexibility
OF speech and earnestness he could
command, always met a gracious
smile from DR. Porter, and found
subsequently by this audacity he had
secured stand in psychology among
the first half-dOzen in the class
Years after he met DIR. Porter and
explained the trick and the result
The president turned the thing
prettily: "Mr. Blank" answered he,

A GIGANTIC FORGERY

New York, July 31.The Worlds Bos-
ton special says that huge conspiracy
has been unearthed, and probably sew
enty-three banks and banking institutions
in the country were yictimized. The
story is that certain employees of the
Northern Pacific Elevator company OF
Minnesota issued $1,5OO,OOO worth of
forged duplicate certificates for grain in
storage in the country elevators owned
by the concern These forged checks
were deposited with Eastern banks as
collateral. About 100000 was secured
in New England and the balance in New
York. Some Of the Eastern holders OF
the paper became suspicious, and on an
Investigation being made the true state
of affairs came to light. The stockhold-
ers of the elevator were dumbfounded
when the facts came to their notice
and offers of settlement with the banks
were at once made and terms of COM
promise offered. The company was then
recognized as the Lake Superior Ele-
vator company. The terms offered to
the banks were 60 per cent cash, the
remainder to be paid in five annual pay
ments The Northern Pacific Elevator
company is now in the hands of a receiv-
en- and the frauds of it's employees have
wiped out its existence. Among the
New England banks swindled are near
ly all the State street institutions here
which were hit heavily; banks at Port

DOuRLE. IYNCHING.

Columbia, S. c., July 31.-Two ne
groes who committed an assault upon
Mrs. Sightler of CASTOR, were lynched
yesterday. Will Thompson, an over
grown sixteen-year-old negro was caught
near Columbia and taken to Castor
early in the morning, where his captors
were met by a mob of 200 people, who
were joined by a hundred men from this
city. Thompson confessed that he and
Tom Preston and Andy Kaigler, all
colored, committed the crime one week
ago. The proposition of the crowd to
nail him up in a turpentine barrel and
burn him was thrown aside and he was
hung to a small tree. Before the hanging
Arch Sightler, husband of the woman,
laid fifty lashes upon the wretch's bare
back with heavy buggy trace, every
blow brir ging blood. When he got tired
another man took his place and contin-
ued the. whipping. Thompson could not
stand, and the rope around his neck
choEed him. Then hundred men fired
into his body with pistols. At Ill
O'Clock Preston was captured and was
taken to the scene of the early morning
tragedy and treated in the same manner.
