have before me letter from
a bright young lady, who was
induced to borrow money for her
education. The rate of interest
was high; she was not careful
as to expense, and now her debt
has grown to even three thou
sand dollars with no prospect of
payment. She groans under the
weight which is rapidly increas-
ing. She passes sleepless nights
and anxious days. 1t is a ques-
ton whether her nervous system
will bear the strain, all because,
as the old phrase has it, "you
may run into debt, but you must
crawl OUT

ones self of luxuries, and even

I have a friend who, with his
wife, agreed that they would al
ways live within their expenses.
The first year their salary was
six hundred dollars, and they
saved an even hundred. They
sacrificed many things, for they
were popular young people and
fond of society, but it was a mat
ter of principle. Business men
observed the prudence of the
young man; he grew rapidly in
their favor, and now is earning
a large income. But he and his
good wife have never departed
from that principle. They have
learned to be careful of expendi-
lures, modest in their personal
wants, and helpful to others.

The Real Reason.

A cablegram from the Times New
York correspondent says: "Mr.
Davis, chairman Of the Senate Com
mittee OH Foreign Relations, is the
authority for the statement that the
Hawaiian Treaty will not be pressed
this session. This odds force TO the
now generally accepted story that
tariff anxieties were at tho bottom
of the Presidents sudden reversal
of his views about annexing a State
of vicious citizenship"
A Washington telegram to the
New York Tribune coolly says: GAIL
tho special ends which the Admin
istration had in view in submitting
the project of annexation at this
time have been attained" That is
almost an official admission that the
nominal aim Of the President is not
his real aim. Opposition to the
treaty is in no degree mitigated.
The Senate itselfis believed, in some
quarters, to be the real author Of
the frosty, the Committee on For
eign Relations taking the initiative.

PASSED WORTHLESS CHECKS.
Chicken and Egg Dealer From Bris-
toll Arrested at Augusta.

Augusta, Ga, Dec. Pr. L. Miles of
Bristol, Tenn, was arrested here to-day
by Detective Wise at the instance of
Chief Caldwell of the Bristol police who
Is also here. ~
Miles was a chicken and egg broker at
Bristol and had built up a considerable
business. In October he struck a turn of
bad business, and lost good deal of
money.
1t is charged that he cashed lot of
worthless drafts at the banks and got into
several merchants for considerable sums
his populations aggregating IS, 600 or Sc. 900
before he skipped town. Since then the
Bristol officers of the law have been irving
to apprehend him, and recently became
convinced that a man who was going nm
der the name Of Mills in this city was the
missing Miles. II was learned that his
wife came to Augusta, and in this Svav
he was traced here.
To-day Chief of Police Caldwell arrived
here, and Detective Wise soon located
Miles. Mrs. Miles tried to prevent the de-
tecuve from entering the room, but he

four to six feet wide. The strange man
then turned to Harper and said:
Tie this line about you and take the
lantern and I'll lower you down"
The hole proved to be not more than
four feet deep so that no line was need
ed, which led Harper to believe that his
companion had never seen the place be-
fore.
NOW said the man, "pick up all the
bright pieces of glass and stone which you
see and pass them out to me-"
Harper turned the light of the lantern
onto the bottom of the cave and saw that
1t was covered with bones, among which
were piles of great gems, which almost
made him blind. He had picked up one
stone and was rising to hand il 10 the
man above when the fat cover of slate
rock fell down, hitting him on the head
and rendering him senseless. He was
aroused by blast of cold air i'm his face
Looking up he saw three men standing az
the edge of the hole waving torches above
him. Believing them to be his late com
panion and two other employees who had
come later, Harper staggered to his feet

Here's one of them. and there n LOT
more among the bones"
Instead of taking the proffered gem the
men began to yell with terror ana started

LET UP IN RAILWAY BUILDING.
Only 1864 Miles of New Road Con-
structed in 1897.


Chicago. ILL.,. Dec 22.-The Railway Age
makes the following statement of new
railway lines built in the year 1897. while
the year 1897 has shown larger railway
earnings and better business conditions
than its immediate predecessors. the mark
ed improvement in the financial outlook
did not begin early enough in the year for
the completion of many new railroad IN
dertakings, and so il now appears that
although much cons truct.on work is I'M
der way the mileage of tracks actually
laid is but little greater than for the ire
ceding year. The lowest point in twenty
years, in respect of railway building. was
reached in 1895, when only SOB miles of
track were added, and 1897 had only a
little better record. the total now report-

Washington say Their Govern
ment viii Do What Is Right in the
Matter-The Claim Sladc That the
Grimes are Local and Individual
a fn Character and Cannot Assume
an international Aspect.
Washington, Dec. 22.-Further details
of the killing Of the American sailors at
tached 10 the United States fleet at Japan
have been received here, and have been
brought to the attention of the department
of state, which has begun an investiga-
ton.
Montgomery it appears. was killed in
Yokohama on Sept last. lie was not
intoxicated, but was murdered by boat
men.
Epps was killed at Nakegata during the
present month. He had been on leave, and
returning aboard ship when murdered.
The testimony gathered shows that he was
perfectly sober, and some sailors on a
passing ship. hearing cries for help, looked
over the water in time TO see him being
thrown from the boat Lacking small
boat. they could not succor him. His
body was found several days later floating
IN the bay.
The japanese government was appealed
TO in each case, and, while some arrests
have been made, the American residents
of Japan feel that the perpetrators Of the
crime are still at large.
It is said every japanese boat in the
harbor is obliged to register its passen-
gers before carrying them off shore, so
that under ordinary conditions It should
be easy to find the guilty parties.
At the japanese legation to-day it was
stated that the matter had not yet been
brought to their attention The legation
officials do not regard the matter as seri-
Gus. They say the japanese government
gives the amplest protection to foreign
citizens and sailors, and if there has been
any laxity in these cases the government
undoubtedly will make the fullest inquiry
and reparation Ii is pointed out, how
ever, that crimes of q local and individual
character cannot assume an international
aspect, as the government is in no way
connected with them. It's only province
is to see that the laws are executed i'm
partially giving the same protection to
foreigners as TO Japanese subjects
At the ARRAY at Kobe, Japan, last Sep
TENDER, in which a number of American
sailors from the Yorktown were injured
it is said that the trouble was between the
sailors and coolies. and thai the Japanese
police came TO the assistance of the Amer
lean sailors. The cases are said to be
substantially similar TO a number which
have occurred in the western states. IN
which Japanese subjects have been as
saulted by mobs. Several of the latter
cases are now pending before the state
department, complaints having been made
by Japan.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN PARIS.
Widespread Belief That Great Treas
ures Are Hidden Somewhere in the
From Chambers Journal.

From Chambers Journal
Some Parisians are actually kept from
wandering by conviction that there is hid
den treasure behind the walls, or beneath
the flooring or in the chimney nook, or
under the roof.
You are told that during the numberless
sieges to which Paris has been subjected,
and the internal revolutions it has under
gone, there exists not a cellar or a garnet
but has become the receptacle of some
part of the immense riches accumulated
in religious houses and old families. There
is, perhaps, nothing irrational in the sup
position that in the good old times when
converts were made the repositories not
only of the secrets of the aristocracy, but
of the family jewels likewise, instances
must have occurred wherein these deposits
were buried and remain undiscovered, to-
gether with the treasure of the fraternity.
But human folly has of late years exalted
this rational possibility into dazzling GER
tainty Every means is now resorted to,
and more gold and precious time expended
than the most valuable treasure could re-
pay, in order to seize the secret which still
resists discovery. While you of the mat
toiling and broiling in Australia and Cali
fornia seeking gold, we gold-seekers of
Paris find it beneath our feet in the old
quarters of the city round Notre Dame
and Hotel de Vile, where gold is teemng
in greater plenty than amid the rocky
boulders of California or beneath the soil
of Ballarat," said Ducasse, the great
treasure-seeker.
AS IL to mock this feverish and never
ceasing chase, not one of the great tradi-
tional treasures-of which four are believed
to eXist-has been yet brought to light, al
though now and then some token is vouch-
safed of their real existence. From time
to time for instance the tradition of the
famous treasure buried by Napoleons or
der, on his hurried departure from the
Tul,eries before Waterloo, is justified by
the turning up in all parts of the palace
garden of gold pieces and silver crowns.
The boles of the elm trees down the mid
die alley of the garden were all marked
with hieroglyphic signs, which ceasing at
certain points, began again on the lime
trees of the terrace of the Feuilans But
the elm trees where these signs began and
the lime tree on which they have ended
have been uprooted and the soil all about
them turned over without avail Then,
during the laying out of the Bots de Bou-
Iogne. great interested was excited by the
fencing off of a portion of the wood close
the Pre- Catelan, and ransacking of this
small spot for a month, under the super
intendence of a government officer; while
crowds waited anXiously outside the line
to see one of the forty workmen strike up
on the golden deposit confidently believed
10 have been buried there by Fouche, Duke
of Otranto. The hoard is actually cal
culated as part of the family wealth.
