Involving Four Valuable Paintings, . Bur-
glar and . Close Mouthed Lawyer.
Four paintings valued at from $15,-
600 to $1S, 900 stolen from the residence
of the late Frederick L. Ames at North
Easton in the summer of 1885 have
been recovered by the family within a
week, and the recovery has been as
mysterious as was the robbery nine
years ago. The members of the family
are still in the dark in regard to the
whereabouts Of the pictures all these
years. They have no idea as to the iden-
tity of the burglar, nor do they know
the lawyers who were most concerned
in the recovery Of the pictures. When
the pictures were lost, F. L. Ames Of
fered a reward Of 81, 500 for their re-
covery.
Inquiries were made a week ago as
to whether the reward was still good.
The reply was in the affirmative, and
after some mysterious negotiations the
pictures were given into the possession
Of the family and the 81. 500 paid to a
lawyer in Boston, to be turned oven

formation. Everybody connected with
the transaction was pledged to secrecy.
The circumstances of the recovery in
brief are as follows: A man was arrest
ed in New York for murder, and when
a certain lawyer was asked to defend
him he inquired of the prisoner if he
had any money. NO" said he, ''but
l cal give you a pointer so l can get
81, 500, and you shall have $500 Of it.
The rest will have to go to a pawn
broker. In this way negotiations were
opened by the New York attorney, who
wrote to a certain Boston lawyer, he
employing others, so that the identity
of the principals could be effectually
concealed, and the money was paid over
and the pictures returned. Springfield

The crusade Of Senator Allen. begun
the other day, against the privileges
granted to lone Page" who keeps .
restaurant in the national capitol, will
no doubt be appreciated along the shores
of the Platte, however 1t may be On the
left bank of the Potomac.
The Nebraska senator says that Mr..
Page occupies. free Of rent, seven or
eight of the best rooms in the splendid
building, four being devoted to the dis
pensing of food to hungry senator's; that
the government. through the senate's
contingent fund, pays for every stove
and range in the kitchen and every 9TH
er article of kitchen furniture. Il pays
for every pound of fuel used in Mr..
Pages cooking, for all his lights, and
even for all the ice. the latter alone to
the tune of about $500 a month. Last
year, as Mr. Allen is informed, the ice
bill was over So, 600, and the govern
ment also paid for washing Mr.. Pages
rooms and cleaning his carpets. In look
ing over the bills fer 1899 Mr.. Allen
found q purchase ON one day Of ITO
yards Of administer carpet and 106 yards
OF other carpet for the restaurant at
50. so per yard put down, making $3.50
for that item alone. A few years ago
the kitchen was remodeled and fixed mp,
and the bill was $l1, 600, paid BY the
government. In addition to the annual
interest OF that sum, represented in the
permanent fixtures, the government
pays, it appears. fully 500 q month"
for what is consumed in the form Of ice,
fuel, lights and SO on, o. about t8, 600
q year.
As to the prices which Mr.. Page was
Populist senator had little to say:
II have no fault whatever to find with
his prices, although l see beefsteak costs
a dollar and some odd cents there, while
the same quality Of steak in my section
of the country can be bought and cooked
for 25 or 80 cents. 1t goes up to "a with
truf1es. do not know what truffies are,
but an ordinary porterhouse beefsteak
with truffies costs a."
OF course Mr. Aliens resolution of
inquiry on this subject did not meet
with general approval. Mr. Hale. pre-
missing that Mr.. Page was a citizen of
Maine. said that Mr. Allen had found a
mares nest, that. instead of being a
mine of wealth, the restaurant yielded
SO little profit, with its restricted patron
age, that it had always been hard to get
