The Alleged First Wife Writes n Let

The Alleged First Wife Writes n Let
ter to the Court.
The death of John NJ. Sanford, the aged
government printing Office Waterman, who
died several weeks ago, it was claimed, IN
der suspicious circumstances, and who left
two women claiming to be his lawful wife,
was again brought to notice this afternoon
when a letter YVES received by Judge Hag-
ner from Rosa Sanford, otherwise known
as Stockholm.
The letter is dated Peekskill. N. Y, and
after stating that she is the lawful widow
of Sanford. the writer protests against the
probate of the will on the petition of Flor
ida Fairfax Sanford and against the rec
ignition of the latter the widow. Mrs.
Sanford of Peekskill then recites that she
married John A. Stockholm June "a. 1857,
at Caledonia, N. Y, but he died in Wash
ington in 1856, and she remained his widow
until 1872, when she married Jerome b.
Close. but the union, it is stated, was an
unhappy one.
In 1873 H. secured a decree of divorce,
granted by Judge Mac Arthur. March II.
1885, the letter continues the writer, I'M
der the name Of Stockholm, was married
to Sanford al the residence of his sister,
Mrs. Emeline Young, in this city, by the
Rev. William ]. Floyd. Mrs. Young and
Mrs Campbell, sisters of Sanford, were
present at the ceremony, it is set forth.
There was never a divorce or legal sepa-
ration, Mrs. Sanford of Peekskll declares.
and she appeals to Judge Hagner for the
protection of her rights, asking that the
same be intrusted to Mrs Emeline Young.

NO INDIAN WARS IN CANADA.
She is Too Poor to Seek Glory and Too
Proud to Do Them Wrong.

She is Too Poor to Seek Glory and Too
Proud to Do Them Wrong.
From the Westminster Review.
The great fact stands boldly forth that
Canada has never fought the Indians, and
she will not begin to do so now. Never has
Canada had an Indian war; an Indian mas
sacre is unknown in the annals Of her his
tory She is too poor to seek glory by slaugh-
tering the natives born Of her soil. and too
proud to defame her character or stain her
escutcheon. Contrast with this the policy of
the United States that is nearly always fight
ing it's red men. Indian wars are very expen-
sive matters to deal with. The small episode
of last year, beginning with theMessiah craze
and ending with the tragedy at Pine Ridge
agency, covering but a few weeks, cost the
United States government 81, 000, 900, besides
the lives lost, and, in addition, unsettled the
natives throughout the country. 1t is to the
credit of the Canadian Indians that, al
though sorely tempted the Messiah craze
had no charms for them. There was in Can
ada, it is true, Riel's first rebellion that cost
Canada 100000 and the lives of some of
her noblest citizens. But that was not an
Indian uprising. Nevertheless, 1t taught both
the white men and the red men a lesson 1t
taught Canada that it would be cheaper to
ration all the Indian tribes than to have an
other rebellion; and it taught the Indian the
prowess of the authorities, and this was en-
phasized by the trips given the Indian chiefs
to Ontario, where they behold tokens of the
power, wealth and glory of the white men.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS


Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
NEW YORK, December 13.-Opening
prices this morning compared favorably
with those recorded at the close of yes
terday's business, and in many instances
were fractionally improved by the later
trading The volume of business was UNI
improved. and no significant extension OF
the long account was noticeable.
The market for foreign exchange was
somewhat steadier. under an increased de-
mand, but no appreciable change in rates
was reported. Gold shipments will be
postponed Until Tuesday, when, unless
rates decline materially meanwhile a con-
sgnment Of 100000 will be made to Ger
many. This process will revive the tri-
angular operations of several months ago;
the coin will be shipped to Berlin, the
drawings made on London and the opera
upon Il e former.
The profit to the consignor Is not large,
but 1t is sufficient to force shipments under
existing conditions. A significant fact in
disclosed by the absence Of any demand
from the large foreign houses, which, as
rule, accumulate bills at this season to
effect interest and dividend payments
around the first of the year. The inference
naturally follows that those in position to
judge most accurately are relying upon
declining market to supply the neces-
sary semi-annual quota of foreign accumu-
lations.
The railroad shares were again given
over to dizziness, the general impression
prevailing that no profits, in proportion
to the risk involved. are likely to be re-
hected until after the new year. The pub
LEGATION OF the Reading plan may, however,
be very widespreading as a speculative in
centive, and as much of its future success
is dependent upon the manner of its ac-
ceptance an effort may be made to estab-
iish higher range Of prices throughout
the entire list
A general advance in values would be
pointed to as conclusive evidence Of the
unanimous Endorsement of the new plan,
ana would Undoubtedly inspire confidence
among tie unfortunate holders of the
junior securities. Manhattan was an ex-
ception to the general list in point of
fluctuations. a gain of So per cent being
recorded during the morning, which mark
ed a complete recovery Of its quarterly
dividend.
The buying of Consolidated Gas was re-
sumed this morning. gain OF 2 per cent
interests originally interested In the ad-
vance. Evidences of an important transac-
ton are plentiful. but its details are care
fully guarded by those intrusted with
them.
Sugar was advanced 1 per cent on good
absence Of any Indications that inside in
terests were disposed to sell long stock
now that the dividend books are closed.
Fluctuations elsewhere in the Industrial
department were fractional and void of
significant feature, improvement wherever
terest.
The trading of the last hour was dull
and unchanged in character, prices holding
we'll under Indifferent operations.

THINGS FOUND IN AMBER.
How Nature Has Embalmed Some
Rare Plants and Animals.

How Nature Has Embalmed Some
Rare Plants and Animals.
From the Gentleman's Magazine.
In many museums may be seen in the
most perfect state Of preservation in am
Der fossilized remains of plants and ami
mails. The science of Egypt in its highest
development did not succeed in discovering
a method of embalming so perfect as the
simple process taking place in nature. A
tree exudes gummy, resnous matter In
liquid state. An insect accidentally lights
in it and is caught. The emulation contin-
ues and envelops it completely, preserv-
ing the most minute details of its struc-
ture. In the course of lime the resin be-
comes a fossil and Is known as amber. The
history of fossil insects is largely indebted
to the fly in amber And to the preserving
properties of amber We owe, likewise our
knowledge of some of the more minute de-
tails of ancient plant structure.
The coasts of the Baltic are, and have
been from the days Of the Phoenician trad
ers, the great source of the amber of COM
strata known to biologists as oligocene
These are tertiary rocks of date little
more recent THAI those of the London basin
and equivalent to the younger tertiary Sc
ries Of the Isle of Wight The fragments
of fossil resin were washed down by the
rivers from the pine forests of the district
along with sediments and vegetable debris
In them are found most perfectly pre-
served remains Of the period, as well as Of
insect life. Fragments of twigs. leaves.
buds and flowers, with sepals. petals sta
mecS and pistils still in place, occur. Pol
len grains have likewise been found. re-
cent genus, deutzia, has been recognized
by its characteristic stamens; the valves Of
the anthers of cinnamomum are seen in
others. In one specimen the pendent cat
kin OF a species of oak is seen as distinctly
through the clear amber as If 1t were q
fresh flower And besides the insect and
plant remains thus sealed up in amber,
stray relics of the higher fauna of the for
est have also been met with. Fragments
of hair and feathers have been caught in
the sticky resin and preserved. Among
others a woodpecker ard squirrel have
been recognized IN the Baltic amber.
