THIRTEEN A LUCKY NUMBER,
The Coon Only got Quarter of That
S25 Prize

Number thirteen thousand''-there
the voice paused, while a hundred people
pricked up their ears and their faces
frightened with expectation, for there
were thousand tickets beginning with
1900, given out among those who have
been attending the Woodward Warren
performances at the Metropolitan Opera
House the past week But of course, as
the number was -, nobody ever ina
gined it would be lucky enough to win
the $50 prize offered by the management.
So the tickets beginning with the digits
ID had all been discounted by the holders
of them and strong faith had been placed
in those that Superstition commonly says
are more lucky. But old Superstition was
gproyed to be liar last night.
''Thirteen thousand yes, that was
1t. There could be no mistake about it.
'aThree hundred'-why it seemed as if
3 were the combination after all. There
were only dozen or so now who felt
their hearts rise in their threats and
jump like toad filed with shot
"And ninety"-the memorable voice Of
the man on the stage went on. Apparent
iy there was not a person in the house
now who held such a ticket.
.'Ninety- three the voice
amid dead silence. Then there was a
buzz Of voices as people examined their
tickets.
Nobody seemed to have the number that
had been read out Again the digits were
called--13.,393-bu nobody stirred. A
third time they were read and fourth
and everybody examined their numbers
more carefully-but no, ii was not there.
A fifth time and sixth they were called
and the Judges were about to draw again,
when Austin Ford, who plays short-stop
on the colored National baseball team
in the summer and paints for Richard
Day during the winter: stood up III the
gallery amid storm OF applause. lie

A BURIED CITY UNEARTHED.


sstOrxC nulnS FO000 In Old
Mexico Under a Dense Forest.
Buried and forgotten for ages amid the
rank vegetation of tropical forest pre-
historic American city Las been discovered
by New York explorer IN the mountains
OF Mexico. William Niven, a mneraiog3st,
has known of the ruins for severa, years
but It was only after ne returned to Mex
leo In July last for thorough examina-
ton and investigation of the city that he
realized the splendid extent and grandeur
Of his find
Quechomitapan, by which name the city
Is now known. is in the state of Guerrero,
ana Mr.. N.ven says the ruins cover an
area of LOCO acres. Whether 1t is one OF
the former capitals of the Aztecs or
whether the remains belong to period of
some earlier civilization may not be de-
term-ned till the explorer returns to this
country and submits the antiquities he has
collected and photographs which he has
made to ethnoiogists and antiquarians
But the temples and pyramids he has
FOUND and the specimens he has dug up
prove that Quechomtt,ipan was at some
time one of the great centers of wealth
and power of the American hemisphere.
Ii may become evident that America, in
stead OF being the new world" is really,
as compared with Europe and Egypt, the
Older world of the two. He writes:
Il have been four weeks riding among
the ruins of the great prehistoric city of
Quechomitlpan, and / find 1t covers
much wider area than what had at first
upposed-somet hing like 1000 acres. I
have dug into some of the subterranean
chambers of the largest buildings and
found them flied with broken pieces of
plaster. painted bright red and white, and
on the floors beads. axes. idols and broken
pottery. In one excavation which / made
at place called Guayabo found at the
depth of nine feet from the surface under
an altar, an ola of terra Gotta, filed with
dirt. and mixed among 1T were 72 objects
of mother-of-pearl. all perforated. and five
of them We're heads of kings, with crowns,
nicely carved.
The ola was broken by the pick of

own hands picked every fragment and

say at least 20 per cent, are simply bril-
liant. and of course the subjects are
unique. l will take 300 more before re-
turn. which. l expect, will be about the
end OF October. I found the ruins of 20
temples instead of three, around Quecho-
mitlipan. and have photographed them

and besides the temples, mention is made

Although the political campaign ends
next week, the theosophists across
the water are determined that the
United States shall continue in
state of excitement. One OF Nine
try claims that the late high priestess of
theosophy has been reincarnated in the
person of the claimant. and this prefension
has aroused the anger of the madame's
disciples in England. who deride the
claims OF the American pretender and de-
clare that they will shortly begin a cru
SADIE against her. Mrs. Besant. who Is
the champion of the doubling English the
osophists. maintains that Madame Bla-
vatsky announced before her departure
from this earthly sphere that wNen she
was reincarnated Il would be in the body
OF an Indian youth. and Il would seem to
he a fair deduction that If Blavatsky had
the power OF reincarnsting herself, she
would also be able TO choose the form in
which she would reappear Mrs Besant
ciinches her argument by the statement
that AN adept can take the soul of his
Chela and put il into a new body. but
nothing can he more absurd to irnag-
the worn-out body of middle
aged woman for carrying on the
work which the Chels's old body had
not been able 10 do Whatever NAV b..
the merits of the case. and even assuming
that Madame Riavatsky's "Chela" could
err. II Is plain enough that one woman can
not refer 10 another as worn cvt'' and OF
middle age" without stirring up a row.
