Rats Ate Her Money.

The Pittsburg Commercial Gazette of
Saturday says: Mrs Mary K. Bennett,
the old woman who was found dying from
neglect in a One-room frame shanty at 81
Lacock street, Allegheny, was Yesterday
removed to the poor farm from the AL
legheny general hospital. Before she de-
parted she notified the authorities that she
had money boarded in two old trunks in
one corner of her bed room. An examina
tion of her effects by the charity officials
yesterday afternoon revealed sufficient
proof to show that if the money is not
hidden away now, that some time recently
the old lady possessed considerable. Frag-
ments ef bills, representing United States
currency in various denominations, were
picked up on the floor. The paper appear
ed to have been gnawed by rats.
The investigation of the house brought
to light many interesting things about the
old lady and her past life to show that she
had seen better days. In the two trunks
were contained MANY articles OF clothing.
such as old dresses. once of a costly mate
rial, and made in the fashion of 1850.
There were three of these dresses. mum
Der of photographs, the likeness of differ =
ent relatives, shows she was well connect
young lady, presents a sad contrast TO
the withered being now dependent upon
| charity. 1t is an intelligent face and a
| lovely one.
| One letter shows that Mrs. BENEFITS
husband was an orderly in the Mexican
war and that he was honorably discharged
She also had two sons in the late war, both
| of whom were killed near the battle oil
|
| these subjects are quite pathetic. One
written just previous to skirmish, pre-
| dicted trouble with the enemy, and the
writer, who was one of the sons. asked fol
certain favOrs providing he was killed.
| The woman's maiden name was Mar,
| E. Jones and her place of birth was Ebens-
| burg, Cambria county. She is now nearly
! 90 years of age. There is nothing in tn.
mass of letters to indicate how she cam.
to live alone or where her relatives ar.

The trunks were penetrated by rat hole
and the contents would show that the ami

Who Have Said So.
New YORK, Sept S-Thc Suns cor
respondent in Madrid, writing under
date of August %, says:
Premier Canovas has spoken again.
Two or three days ago he said to re-
porter Of Ell Globe: II must have
money Tor the Cuban campaign. The
monthly expenses amount TO 80, 900. 900
now and SiO,O0O,0Oo will be needed
when we send out 10000 new soldiers
In November. l am determined to I'm
ish the war within very short time"
He must indeed be very optimistic
about this, for La Epoca, one of his
favorits organs, says:
when the new expedition arrives in
Cuba the insurgents in the west will
be forced to throw themselves against
the Artemisa trocha; the province OF
Pinar Del Rio, and Havana will thus
be cleared of insurgents. The same
will be done In Santa Clara, so that
the rebellion will soon he confined 70
Camaguay and eastern Cuba. 1t may
also happen that the insurgents, los
ing all hope, will surrender through
out the island."
just such language was used b. the
Spanish press year ago. speaking OF
what Martinez Campos proposed to do
In his winter campaign. As they were
mistaken last year, there is no reason
why their predictions should be be-
lieved now.
Ell Dia, an independent paper, has
published an article on the financial
situation which has caused great
deal OF comment. 1t says: "Spain
needs 800, ,0OO,0 900 to pay the floating
debt, 100000, 900 for ten months ex-
penses in Cuba, and $40, OO0, 900 to meet
other obligations which can not be
postponed.

gust II, the Carlist leader, Senior
Vasquez De Mella, invited Premier
Canovas to initiate the duke OF
Valencia and be ready to send his
passport to certain foreign repre-
sentative. Every day." Mella added.
''and now more than ever, flibuster-
ing expeditions are being sent

"Boldness like that led us to ask for
pardon, and to submit TO other humili
ations which were still worse" an.
swered Senor Canovas. He added
later: 81 advised Senor Groizard to be
very cautious in dealing with the AL
lianca case, because we can not ignore
the fact that a nation which has. 20.
