ants He characterizes the Papagoes as
"the only American Indians who arc any
good without being killed. and believes
their superior traits to have been inherited
by these ancient people. The extent of
these cities. of course, indicates trench
dous population for this section, larger
than could possibly be maintained there
at the present day. He says it was great
source Of regret that he was unable to go
into the matter more extensively, for he be-
lieves that many more settlements Of the
kind are to be found even further south,
| and also over in Lower California and
Guardian Angel Island, neither of which
! places has ever been Investigated by
archaeologfsts.
Mr.. Frank H. Cushing who spent several
years among the Indians Of Arizona, fur
Their to the north. and who, 1t will be re-
membered, unearthed several cities and
ancient temples once belonging to neigh
boring tribe, expressed to the writer his be-
lief that the discovery made by the south
western expedition is the most important
| find yet accomplished by American archae,
ologists. The ruins in the desert described
he believes are far older than any found by
him further to the north. The discovery
all the more adds to the theory that the
red man entered the western continent from
the north. The intellectual scale Of the
American aborigine, he says, is lowest at
the north, and finds it's highest point in the
Peruvian. The native of the south was Of
! a newer and more experienced generation,
and the presence of high civilization In a
desert country was the result of the per-
manent, domestic lives required there.
These ruins are even more interesting, ne
says, because they help to confirm story
of adventure which, like the story Ct Troy,
was long regarded AS romance
This story was written by one Verq'les de
Coronado, Franciscan friar who came to
South America with the Spaniards about
$50 years ago, and whose travels were full
ly described in chronicles still preserved In
his native land. In the spring of 1910. ac-
compsnfed by 300 Spanish knights and over
a thousand subjects. this priest claims to
have marched north. through what is now
supposed to have been Central America,
and to have reached land filled with bnf-
faloes (probably Missouri or Nebraska). He
kept detailed record of every interesting
| incident of his journey. and in this he has
described many ruined cities scattered over
various sections, seven of which he called
"Cirbola."
Mr.. Gushing believes that Coronado must
have traversed the same deserted villages
visited by Prof. MCGEE, and says that,
be found fully described in his ancient
chronicles.

which is Michigan's greatest source of
wealth, and which is popularity supposed to

Most of Mr.. McMillan's money has been
made in the manufacture of railway cars
and steam vessels for the lake trade.
While his actual capitalized wealth Is much
less thar that Of several other men in his
state, he has probably the largest steady
income, for his judicious investments are
so we'll placed as to yield him large annual
sums. He is one of the most charitable
men in public life. and gives away great
amounts each year. Curiously enough,
though his bank balances are very large.
he is not infrequently obliged to borrow

SMART BURGLARS.
But They Were Overreached by Two
Detectives.

But They Were Overreached by Two
Detectives.
From sthe New York Sun.
Paris is laughing over the undoing Of
two extremely smart burglars. Two de-
tectives were in the Rue st. Martin. Their
atteution was attracted to a man pushing
a large packing case a cart along the
street. The man was apparently talking
to himself. They overheard the remark,
Don't be afraid. old fellow. ! will take
the shortest cut" Arriving at the Rue de
Bondy, he deposited the packing case in
the warehouse of a merchant named Roux.
The detectives concealed themselves in the
warehouse for the night. About midnight
man issued from the packing case. He
was provided with a set of burglars TOOLS
and set to work to demolsh the lock of the
safe. The operation took a long time, but
at last the door flew open and the robber
filled his pockets with gold and silver He
withdrew once more into the case, which
closed upon him.
The detectives were in no hurry to hand
cuff the thief. but awaited the return of
his confederate. In the morning ne pre-
scented himself to take away the case and
was arrested before entering the ware
house.
The detectives placed the case on Il
hand cart and dragged it 10 the oificC Of
the police conmissary. On the way they
acted the part uf the accomplish. When
the man in the box inquired: rs that
you?" a detective replied: Eyes, old boy;
don't be uneasy, 1 will take the shortest
cut" Tie ingenious robber was greatly
surprised when he arrived at his destina-
ton to find himself in the presence of
police cCmmissary.

lest men in the far south. He is interest
ed in large sugar industries In his state,
tor George of Mississippi is comparatively
poor man., yet he gives more generously
than any Of the southern men to charity,
particularly to churches. He Is constantly
sending money home for some such pur-
pose
He lives frugally and saves considerable
from his salary. Senator Harris has &C
cumulated quite little fortune, which is
mostly invested in his home on Capitol
Hill. In this city, and rancho in Texas
The latter, however, has never been very
profitable to him, but rather burden.
Neither of the Kentucky men have &C
cumulated much means. OF the two, Judge
Lindsay is probably the weather., having
always had a comfortable law practice.
Senator German is not generally known
to be a millionaire, yet the fact is now
well established that he has passed the
five million mark. This is due to his Won
derfully sagacious business sense and his
good fortune in securing profitable con-
nection with tho Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company during the days of it's
greatest prosperity. The money that he
made in his earlier career has been
shrewdly invested in coal and iron lands
and In railroad stocks, and he Is now well
established as man of large means.
One Of the men who will be returned to
the Senate for six years term Is Mr..
Perkins of California, who is one of the
wealthiest men in the west He made his
money in the beginning by fortunate VEN
lures in whaling vessels, having been at
one time sailor before the mast. His
| rapid rise in life has not affected his nat
ural simplicity of manner and delightful
geniality. 1t Is related of him that on a
trip down the Chesapeake last summer
as a guest on a revenue cutter Re aston
| ished all hands and captured the hearts
of the crew of the captains gig by taking
an oar a trip from the vessel to the
shore. His long, practfced stroke set a
pace that the jackies were barely able to
equal, and Senator Perkins would be a
popular candidate for the presidency
among the men of the revenue marine
service.
The nearest calculation that can be made
without intimate knowledge of these mems
financial affairs gives total of just
twelve men of millions in the Senate to-
day. These are Aldrich. Cameron, Jones,
Mcmillan, Perkins, Proctor and Sherman
among the republicans. and Brice, Cam
den, Murphy, Smith and German among
the democrats. 1t might incidentally be
noted that none of these is a populist.
There are now eighty-six Senators sitting
in the chamber, so that these millionaires
form but little over ii per cent of the
total membership The men of means, not
all millionaires. are twenty in number, or
fraction over % per cent of the entire
body. These figures should, to almost any
reader. be convincing proof Of the fact
that the Senate Is not miilionaires club,
as it is popularity supposed to be.

largely to the number of inmates of insane

know, the most inveterate and inordinate
tea drinkers are the domestic servants of
Irish origin. 1t is an interesting question,
worthy of investigate whether this preva-
lence OF tea intoxication among that race
is because they use tea more freely than
other people, or because their nervous
temperament is more susceptible to it's eff

1t is claimed by various investigators of

alcohol habit. and that if it continues it
will produce quite as disastrous results. In
