Several weeks ago when Mr.. Jefferson

written on letter head adorned with a
large cut of folding bed 'closed" and
opened" read as follows:
Mr.. jefferson:
SIR--l saw you play Rip Van Wrinkle last
night, and I have proposition to make
to you. When the curtain goes up on the

PARIS GIGANTIC HOAX.
That Million Dollars For Year In Tomb
Story Exploded.

That Million Dollars For Year In Tomb
Story Exploded.
A gigantic hoax with the longest run
on record is at last exposed in the Paris
papers. In 1890 an advertisement ap-
peared stating that deceased Russian
princess left a million francs to be given
to the person, who would remain one
year and day in the little chapel over
her tomb in Pere la Chaise and watch
her body, which was in glass coffin.
The watcher should see nobody during
the time he or she remained in the chapel
and should not even speak TO the servant
that Would be employed to supply the
refreshments. Candidates were politely
requested to communicate with the SUI
perintendent of the cemetery.
The unfortunate functionary soon
found himself deluged with letters from
fools in all parts of the world, including
one journalist belonging to news
agency of Chicago, who declared himself
ready to take tbs job, as it seemed far
preferable to the 'killing work of
newsgatherer." Paragraphs began to
appear in the papers stating that several
intrepid watchers had already abandoned
the task on account of the uneasiness Of
the dead princess. In other words, she
had disagreeable habit of getting out
Of her glass coffin and walking about in
her shroud. Then the wag of wags raised
the ante. Five million was the sum next
offered through the press. Letters poured
with increased volume upon the unfor-
tunate uperintendent, some of them
from women. Nearly every town in the
United States and Canada was ably rep
resented among the many men of letters
who contributed to this wondrous pile.
It is almost too bad to clip the wings
of canvasback canard that few 30 long
and so far. But it has turned out, just
in time to save the superintendent Of
Pere la Chaise from going crazy, that
the Russian princess, the little glass COT
fin and the generous bequest never ex-
listed, and that the tomb which was sup
posed to contain her interesting and rest
less remains really belongs to a French
family named De Beaujour.-ParisC Cor

KIND WORDS FOR HAWAII.
Lorin Thurston Says the Country Is "a
Child of the United States"


WAsHISGToN. Feb. 12--Minister Lorin
Thurston addressed large audience last
night in the Foundry Methodist church
on Hawaii and It's Future" and was
greeted with great applause when he re-
ferred indirectly to annexation Hawaii,
he declared, is a child of the United
States, II ever any country was the child
of another. Americans found the island
Inhabited by people one step advanced
from barbarism; they formulated and
framed the language and introduced and
arranged laws modelled after those of the
United States.
From a religious point Of view the Ha-
waiians set good example of brotherly
love among denominations, fog all Pro
testants there worshipped in one church.
Even the 800 Mormons there are not polyg-
amists. There are no social distinctions
and the natives are as kindly and lovable
race as exist on the face OF the globe.
The recent trouble, he declared, has been
caused by foreigners stirring up race pref
udices. To this day, said the speak er.
there is no more danger of an uprising
among the natives than there is from the
natives in Washington. The danger is
from the foreign element, who are sort OF
ward politicians from England and Amer
lea, and who make the poor natives pull
the chestnuts ous of the fire for their use

For Carrying Out Plans to Relieve Bos-
tons Congested streets.

tons Congested Streets.
BosroN, Feb. i2.-The subway commits
sion, in it's first statement, gives some in
teresting facts regarding Boston's big
scheme for the relief of its congested
streets. IL is found that the first bill
providing for the improvement, with its
accompanying appropriation of $4,000. 900,
is inadequate, and amendments will be
presented to the legislature contemplate
ing an appropriation OF 5000 900, and pro-
posing the construction Of much more ex-
tensive subways.
The subways will. IL the anne ndments
pass, be about 10000 feet in aggregate
length. The main subway will have a
northern terminus at the new Union sta
tion on Causeway street, and end at the
corner of fremont and Boylston streets.
Branches will extend in needed direc-
tions, and there will be in all about a
dozen stations. The construction OF the
roadbed will be similar to that OF the best
steam railroads. Artificial ventilation
will be used If necessary. Gas and sewer
pipes will be excluded.
One Of the greatest advantages will be
the removal of trolley wires from several
miles of streets in the heart of the city. as
q consequence of the subway II is posi-
BILE that the subway will prove OF the
greatest use in the future by being con-
nected with an elevated railroad beyond
its terminus
