COLLECTOR OF COINS.

Pouch of Rare Specimens Found on n
Criminal.
Capt. James E. Stuart of the postal IN
of rare coins with which to remember his
late prisoner, Harold K. Cavelle. When
Cavelle secured his liberty on Neeley's
bend he begged piteously for the return Oh
his rare coins. When Capt. Stuart opened
the leather pouch containing the coins to
ascertain their character he was surprised
by a rich find that would be the pride OF
coin collectors.
Whoever made the collection did so with
a view of getting together all the silver
coins in the world of the size and weight
of the American silver dollar. There are
seventy-three coins in the collection. Each
was wrapped in paper to prevent abrasion
in the pouch, and all are bright and clean
as if handled with the greatest care.
Among the collection are all the Ameri-
can dollars from 1910 and the trade dollar.
ton to the present, and all Of the Central
and Southern American states are repre-
sented. A coin from Spain, Belgium. Rus
STA, Austria, England and the German
kingdoms are among the lot. There are
Turkish. Japanese, Chinese and Siamese
coinage of the Congo Free State. There
Is an old English copper shilling the size
of dollar and an oriental coin consist
ing of a mass of silver about the weight of
an American dollar and in the shape Of a
pear.
Cavelle was either a collector of coins
during the time he could spare from his
voluminous matrimonial correspondence or,
as Capt. Stuart surmises, obtained them
from some one OF his numerous victims.

A Singular Trngedy.

Several days ago Miss Grace Benjamin,
a pretty eighteen-year1old girl, was as
phyxiated while takinga bath in the suite
Of rooms belonging tofC.-A. Meir,a wealthy
young man, at SanosFrancisco. The girl
had called on Meir about 0 o'clock in the
evening, and findingshim out, proceeded to
take bath. Two hours later her lfeless
form was discovered in the bath room. A
large gas burner, used in1 heating water for
the bath, had exhauatels the oxygen in the
air and the girl died before she could get
out. In explaining the girls visit to his
apartments Meir said There was nothing
improper in their relations. Their afec-
tion was purely platSnic, and the girl was
in the habit of coming there to admire his
bric-a-brac and to rsad novels with him.
Recently It was deyeloAed that Meir had
married the, girl last August in Oakland,
and some of the dead girls friends said she
had told them that the reason for keeping
the marriage secret was Meir had another
wife in the east. from whom he was get
ting divorce. The coroner's jury inquest
was held Wednesday, and the jury decided
death was accidental. Meir was not pres
ent at the inquest and it is stated he could
not be found.

upon the site Of the destructive fire of
Wednesday night. The large barn and all
the outbuildings but one were consumed
and thirty pigs were burnt. All Of the
horses and other animals were gotten out
safely. The origin of the fire Is supposed
to be incendiary, melted by revenge.
The Brookland NJ. E. prayer meeting this
week was Well attended and unusually in
teresting. Rev. Church Tabor purposes
severing his connection with the M. f..
congregation here and at Landover at this
conference, to enter upon a new field of
labor at his old home in Vermont, and it
is probable q young minister will be as

The Nuns Garb Bill.

The Smith nun garb bill passed second
reading in the Pennsylvania house by a
large majority Wednesday, after a long
and earnest discussion. The penalty fea-
ture, which had been knocked off in conf
mittee, was added to the bill. 1t makes it
a misdemeanor for any teacher to wear
in the public schools any garb insignia
of a religious character. The limit of the
fine for the first offense is 500, leaving it
to the discretion of the court; for the sec
ond offense the fine is 500, and the teacher
will be deprived of the position. After two
convictions the teacher is not eligible for
five years. The penalty clause was adopted
by a vote of 131 to 3S.
The main arguments against the bill
were that 1t was aimed at the Catholic
Church. that 1t Is blow at religious and
civil liberty and that 1t will interfere with
punkards, Amish. Mennonites and other
Protestant denominations. Opponents de-
nounced 1t as the most atrocious and un-
American bill ever presented in a legisla-
ture. and claimed the bill would keep out
of the schools the members of the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union, who
wore the white ribbon, and several other
associations who wear n badge of some
Kind to designate their order.

THEY BOUGHT THE QUESTIONS.

Conspiracy Among HOOsfer Teachers
to Obtain Certificates by Fraud.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Several months ago the Indiana depart
ment of public instruction had reason to
be suspicious of some exceptionally fine
examinations passed by applicants for
teachers licenses in Bartholomew and ad-
joining counties. The state superintendent
instituted personal investigation, which
showed that the law governing such exam
nations was being outrageously violated.
developed, for instance, that the printed list
of questions sent out by the state superin-
tendent reached Columbus, the county seat
of Bartholomew, one day in advance Of
the required examination.
eral months these questions had been sur
reptitiously printed and hawked about in
Bartholomew. Shelby, Decatur and Rush
counties. Seven men were engaged In the
deal. They drummed up customers and
sold the questions to applicants at prices
ranging from IS to $40 per list. Couriers
carried written mimeograph copies of
questions either on horseback or by rail
from Columbus. making such quick distri-
button that the receiver had fully twenty
four hours in which to cram. City and
county teachers were alike involved, and,
by arresting a teacher named Hurst, who
was afterward fined on a long-range con-
fession of guilt, the whole thing was made
clear. The state superintendent thereupon
turned the matter over to the grand juries
of the counties named, and he Is now
awaiting results. Under the bill as In
dorsed by the state board this previous
publication of questions and the sale of
the same Is made penal offense, instead
of a misdemeanor.

Their, that money received on interest &C
count and from other sources to the
amount of $1,000 he failed to credit on

A Remarkable Memory.

George w. McMilion of Friar's Hill. W
Va. is about forty years old and has the
gift of remembrance wonderfully DEVELOPED.
He remembers everything he ever knew or
read and can perform the most remarkable
feats. He can, off hand, recite the names.
birthdays. hour of death, majorities and the
closest details of the lives of all the Presi-
dents in regular order; can name all the
horses in his neighborhood; can recite DO
ems of 1900 words without missing a word :
can recount the details of every visit he has
made in his life; can name all the people
he has met in two weeks and every word
every one of them has said; can quote
chapter after chapter of the Bible and has
q like penchant for repeating history. He
is hardly human in many respects Sleep
ing in the woods and often going for weeks
without washing his face. One of his most
interesting feats is the repetition of every
word of a marriage ceremony which he
heard when he was twenty-one and which
united girl who was his sweetheart to an
other man.
1t is said that this ceremony was the first
thing he ever tried to remember and that
the circumstances surrounding 1t are the
cause for his peculiar habits, having been
very promising young man before this
girl Tilted him. Since then he has given no
attention to his personal appearance and
cares for nothing but reading and remem-
bering things.

THE FATE OF THE SEAL.
Interests of the North American Cor
mercfal Company.

Interests of the North American COM
mercial Company.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
II do not believe that two great nations
would agree to the determination Of seals
and the consequent utter humiliation of a
big industry for the sake of a handful of
pelagic seal hunters"
The speaker was E. A. Cox, secretary Of
the North American Commercial Company.
Mr.. Cox was asked what he thought was
the object Of the bill before Congress to
exterminate seals and the amendment to
stop all killing for one or two years.
His answer was: Il can only think that
the original object Of the bill is to draw
attention to the heavy slaughter going on
and to say in SO many words: These
Canadians will wipe out all the seals in
three or four years; let US take our share
by wiping up the entire stock at once!
This is really what will happen If the
British government does not stop this
that these seals which the hunters shoot
are pink and are not worth one-half the
price of the skin of bachelor SEAL Last
season the price dropped very much in
London. and though $4,000 seals were
killed, the proportion of pink female
skins with bullet holes in them was so
large that they did not pay for the killing
THE seal is born in about equal numbers
OIL eacn SEX Inc 1ull-SrOWn male Is a
polygamist of the most pronounced type
and will have from fifteen to thirty cows
in his wake. There are, therefore, a great
many bachelor seals, and tIese are the
only ones that our company is allowed to
kill. So serious is the killing Of female
seals that our lease contains a forfeiture
clause if We kill Intentionally single fe-
male. We have only killed one in five
years. and that was an accident. The kill
ing of the bachelors does absolutely no
harm, as they only fight a war for the
survival of the fittest before they can be-
come the heads of harems. These young
seals furnish the best skins; in fact they
are so per cent more valuable than the
female skins.
Il am now writing to Washington to find
out whether this proposed stoppage of
seal hunting for year or two is to apply
to the Pribilov islands, as If it does n viii
work us a serious injury"
