A TREASURE TROVE STORY,

Vows Were Not Kept, So Somebody
Developed n Conscience.
From the London Times
Some six years ago the Marine Insurance
Company of London Insured a case contain
ing about 100000 worth Of Brazilian bank
notes, shipped in the steamer Buenos Ayres,
from Pernambuco, to Rio Janeiro. The
steamer was wrecked.
When the vessel was sinking, all the crew
got into the boats with the exception of the
captain and few who were employed in
bringing on deck the passengers luggage,
the mails and the case containing the Bra
lillian paper money. While they were thus
engaged the steamer seemed about to
founder, and the men were sent to the boats.
the captain remaining on board with one
man, who was helping him to carry the case
in question.
The steamer foundered rather suddenly
and the two men were dragged under water.
They were picked up, however by the boats
and the captain at once inquired whether
the case containing the money had been
saved. The mate and engineer replied that
1t had been received on board and slowed
away. But when they landed the case was
not forthcoming, and the captain could only
suppose that it had been jettisoned by some
one on board in order to prevent the boat
from sinking.
The British company paid the insurance
money at once. and regarded 1t as total
loss Not long ago, however, they received
a letter In Portuguese, evidently written by
an illfterate person, the contents of which.
communicated to the Portuguese authori-
ties. led to the searching of the houses of

engaged in fishing off the coast of Brazil
they picked up, few weeks after the date
OF the wreck of the Buenos Ayres the case
containing the money and divided the con-
tents.
1t would appear that the reason WHY some
one turned kings evidence was that. al

DREAMED OF BURIED MONEY.
He is More Than Twelve Hundre,
Dollars Ahead.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
The citizens near Lebanon, Ind, are all
agog over the strange stories told by VIM
NJ. Richardson, a farmer About two years
ago Mr. Richardson's mother died. During
her last years she was very eccentric, and
before her death she told various persons
that she had buried large sums of money
on different parts of her farm, but sre al
ways refused to divulge the hiding places
After her death a large part of the door,
yard and garden was dug up but not trace
of the hidden wealth was found, and the
matter was dropped.
About three months ago Mr.. Richardson
had a dream in which he was told to visit
a clairvoyant Of indianapolis and he would
learn something regarding the hiding place
of the money. This dream, Mr.. Richard
son says, was repeated at frequent inter-
walls, and he finally decided to test the
fortune teller's ability. Going to Indian
apolis, he gained an audience with gypsy
palmist, who, he says, told him he would
find $1,000 buried at point in his orchard.
With much skepticism Mr.. Richardson
followed her directions, and recovered tin
can containing $1,2i3.50. With this money
he paid off mortgage on his farm, and
had about spent the entire amount when
his sister demanded half of the funds as
one CT the heirs of their mother, and a
law suit was for short time imminent
bat the claim was finally compromised.

liza Belt and Emile Becker, are to be REIN

chase hcmesteads, however, they shall be
allowed to do SO, and at their death their
children shall take their shares.

The Health Officer. Directories.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
recent newspaper publication stated
that Health Officer Woodward upon ap-
preaching the garbage crematory on Satur-
Gay last observed smell, which the people
in the vicinity supposed to be from the
crema tory, but which DIR. Woodward recog
nized at once as arising from the boiling OF
soap, and Immediately connected with the
so-called soap factory about half-mile
southwest of the garbage crematory.
When it is known that no soap has been
boiled at the so-called soap factory for
ten years, and that at the time DR.. Wood
ward recognized the odor there was a stiff
breeze from the southeast, it will be seen
that If DR.. Woodward was correctly re-
ported, his sense of smell has been warped
by natural reluctance to think or admit
the suggestion of any odor from the garb-
age factory. That the public may not be
deceived by DR.. Woodward's self-deception
and may know that the garbage crematory
is already proving odorous, we pray the
Commissioners will give it their attention
at such time they will have oppor-
trinity to judge safely

Of the case the physicians decided that he
was suffering from congestion of the base
of the brain, and that the disease had been
developing during quite long period. One
popularity of his mental condition has been
a change in his method of writing. Instead
of writing from left to right, as he has
previously been accustomed to do, he has
during his sickness, when attempting to

THE UNFORTUNATE MILLIONAIRE.

From This Point of View He is to BE
Pitied.
From the Contemporary Review
In reviewing the advertisements of the
manufactures of the country I find that
everything Is produced for the million and
nothing for the millionaire. Children, boys,
youths, gents" ladies, artisans, profess
sional men, even peers and kings, are ca
tered Tor, but the millionaire's custom is
evidently not worth having-there are too
rev OF him. While the poorest have their
rag fair, duly organized and busy mar
ket In Houndsditch, where you can buy a
boot Tor a penny, you may search the
world In vain for the market where the
boot for ESQ. the special cheap line of hats

SUIT, ana the Cleopatra claret, four pearls
10 the bottle, can be purchased wholesale
mus the unfortunate millionaire has the
responsibility of prodigious wealth without
me me possibility of enjoying himself more
IMAM any ordinary rich man. Indeed, in
many things he cannot enjoy himself more
man many poor men do, nor even so much;
Ior drum major is better dressed, a
trainers stable lad often rides a better

oihce boys taking their young ladies out for

Brlshton for Sunday rides in the Pullman
car and OF what use is 1t to be able to pay
is nothing to be had but ham or beef?
Inc injustice of this state Of things has
not been sufficiently considered. A man
with an income Of rs a year can multiply
ms comfort beyond all calculation by doub-
ing his income. A man with $50 a year can
at least quadruple his comfort by doubling
lis income. Probably up to even ESQ a
year doubled income means doubled COM
tort. After that the increment of comfort
grows less in proportion to the increment
OF income, until point is reached at which

millionaire do that needs a million?
Does he want fleet of yachts. a Rotten

whole city of town houses. or a contin-
gent for game preserve? Can he attend
more than one theater in one evening or

TO have more money to take care of, more

from those delicious Alnaschar dreams in
which the poor man, sitting down to con-
slider what he will do in the always posi-
BILE event of some unknown relative leav-
