THAT SEIZED VALISE.
The Owner Arrives at Laredo,
Texas.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. S-A special to the
Republic" from Laredo, Tex, says:
Don Pedro Trueba, the owner of a
valise that was seized by the Customs
officials, arrived in the city to-day from
his hacienda, which is a short distance
from Vanegas, in the State of San
Luis Potsi.
The contents of the valise, according
to his statement, are worth nearly
$500, 900. One thousand dollars in cur
among which are beautiful diamonds,
$4,000 in guaranteed notes. and the
alance in coupon bonds.
He says when he arrived at the sta
ton he handed the valise to one whom
he believed to be his servant to carry
to his carriage. 1t was not light.
When he arrived home he missed the
valise, and took the next train to San
Luis Potosi
The Governor issued a proclamation
offering a reward. Seven or eight per-
sons have been arrested in that State
who are suspected of being connected
with the disappearance of the valise.
1t is believed that the supposed serv-
ant was a confederate of some one
on the train, because when the valise
arrived here a man was sitting near it,
but diSclaimed it. 1t was finally taken
from the train by a Customs officer to
the baggage room. 1t suddenly dis
appeared, and was found by an officer
in the possession of a hackman, who
said that it had been given to him
by an American to bring up to the city.
The matter has been referred to the
Secretary Of the Treasury by the Col
lector of this district, and his answer
is expected Tomorrow

NATIONAL PARKS.
Captain Gales Report on the Sc
quota and General Grant.

WASHINGTON, Sept S.-The Secre-
tary of the Interior has received the
annual report of Captain Gale, acting
superintendent of the Sequoia and
General Grant National Parks, in Cal
ifornia. He reports that game is more
abundant within the park limits than
last year, and suggests that there
should be a permanent guard against
hunting and trapping in the park. This,
he says, cannot be entirely prevented
by temporary guard in the summer
season, as the winter, when the guard
is absent, is the most favorable sea-
son for hunter and trapper.
Captain Gale recommends a thorough
marking of the boundaries of Sequoia
Park and the fencing of General Grant
Park. He also suggests the advis-
ability of either extending the park
limits or putting the adjoining forest
reservation, under park regula tons,
for the promotion of the growth of veg
citation.

WOMAN'S CHIEF CHARM.
One of the Qualities Is the Grace of
Expressing Her Obligations.

we are given to saying that a Wom-
| ans chief charm is herself writes Ed
ward l.. Pell in the "Womans Home
Companion" Just why we say it
am sure [ do not know, except that,
speaking for the masculine side, there
is pleasure in saying gallant things;
and speaking for both sides, there is d
relief akin to pleasure in slyly put
ting aside a nut that is hard to crack.
Perhaps, however, it is about as near
the truth as one can come in a general
statement, for it seems to be about set
tied that we must look for the secret
of a woman's charms, not in any of
those graces which shine out conspicu-
OuSly like the diamonds upon her bo-
som, but in the blending of certain
quiet qualities which have their home
in the depths Of her soul, and which
unite their rays before they reach the
surface-just as one must look for the
charms of WOman's dress, not in any
pretentious ornaments, but in the har-
monious blending of quiet colors and
easy lines.
Among those quiet graces which
unite their rays to make the charm
~
fail to make itself felt is the grace Of
thankfulness. l do not mean conven-
tional Thanksgiving or post-mortem APP
probation. L mean that something
within us which perceives, appreciates
and adequately responds to a favor
This grace belongs to mankind in gen
eral, but it reaches its highest devel-
opment in woman. A man may feel
thankful, but he lacks that sensitive
ness which makes one conscious of the
smallest favor and most of all the
proper media for conveying ones
thanks for favor rendered. Only
woman is fully equipped to express the
thanks she feels; and the woman who
gracefully discharges her debts of
gratitude is called charming, though
we may not think of her talent for
Thanksgiving as having anything to do
with her charm.
There are some graces which we
never think of except when they are
out of sight. Thankfulness is one of
them. We turn with disgust from
man in the street who has words in
abundance to ask a favor and not a
word to acknowledge it. Just then we
think what repulsive thing an migrate
is, and how beautiful is gratitude. But
we seldom get an idea of thankfulness
except when it is conspicuous for its
absence. How often we look upon in
gratitude and spit our contempt upon
II! How rarely do we pause to take
IN the charm of a grace-filled WOman's
thanksgiving
I'VE are accustomed to oo bac1- 70
the past for perfect specimens Of al
most everything. The more
one studies the American girl of a gen
Grafton ago, the more one is impressed
with this wonderful, quiet talent
which is so highly priced and so con-
stantly used. l think that to us men
1t seemed the chief secret of her
charm"

District Court to-day to answed to the
indictments against him. He filed a
demurrer to twenty-five of the forty
three counts charging that Welburn
shaved the warrants of Thomas Sim

murrer is that the indictment does not
charge that Welburn had in his possess

he paid to Sinnot. The demurrer was

The Secret of LONGEVITY.

Sir Isaac Holden, who died Yesterday
morning in his ninety-first year. was
neither teetotalIer nor a. non-smoker.
Sir Isaac was a man with theories. Ac-

tails for those who would live long and
be healthy are plenty of fresh air and

TO his employer that he would be glad

for a walk. If granted, he would not
ask for any holiday, or would make
up otherwise for the time so spent. This
was agreed to. Sir Isaac took his walk
daily, end to this, he used to say. he
owed both health and fortune.
But though in addition to fresh air
he believed in plenty of fruit. Sir Isaac
