Miss Jessie A. Griswold, who was
appointed stenographer in the U. s..
House of Representatives in February,
was for several years Il resident Of Lor-
ain County, o. She is undoubtedly
one of the best lady stenographers in
he United States, The fact that she
received her training for such work In
the Oberlin Business College, reflects
great credit upon Ohio's leading busi-
ness college.
Many Of the best btenographers and
book-keepers OF the country received
their education in the above school
and Miss Grisw0ld adds another to
the long list. That she appreciates the
assistance which this college has been
to her is shown by the following state
ment from her; II feel that the time
spent in the 0berlin Business College
has been of inestimable value to me
and many times have had cause fol
thanksgiving that my feet were turned
in that direction and that was throw

thoroughly competent Christian in
structors, in school that with regart
to its educational, moral, social ant
religious advantages, believe is no
surpassed by any in the land"

h4autiful and appropriate.
Rev. Arthur F. Skeele, pastor of the
First O. ngregational Church, officiated d
with scripture readings and prayer,

The sudden and tragic death of Mrs.
Chapman, detailed account of which
is given in another column, cast n deep
gloom over the entire community.
Mrs. Chapman was lady devoted to
her family and to home duties. She
was active and prominent in social Cir

and universally beloved by all who
enjoyed her acquaintance. Her I'M

A MINE REDlSCOvERED.
It Has Been Found by Means Of m Old
Record.

10 Has Been Found by Means Of sn Old
Record.
It il believed that the long lost San
Saba mine has at last been rediscoVered
by ]. w. Brack, photographer OF San
Antonia, Tex. The tradition OF the fab
ulous richness OF this mine is well
known to the people Of Texas and Mex,
leo. Il was originally discovered ~
centuries ago and was worked for about
30 years by the Spaniards. The old
Sanish records still in tho archives of
the state Of Coahuila, Mexico, at Sal
tillo, give q history Of this miNe and
state that it produced in the 90 years
that it was worked $50, 900, 600 Of sill
yer.
The miners were massacred by Indi-
ans. The latter obliterated all surface
indications of the property, and al
though many expeditions went in search
Of it none of them met with success un-
til 1860, when two uncles of j. W.
Brack of this city, went to Menard
county to look for it. They had made a
close study of the records Of the mine,
and after a few weeks search they
found the old shaft They explored the
workings of the mine and found a
great mass Of rich ore in sight. The
Indians made an attack ON them as they
were returning to San Antonio, and one
of the brothers was killed. The other
brother was taken seriously i'll soon aft
er his return home and died. On his
deathbed he made written record Of
the exact location Of the mine. This
record was fled away with some old
papers and remained undisturbed until
lately, when it was brought to light
and turned over to J. W. Brack Of this
city. Brack at once went to Menard
county, and by aid Of the written record
he had no trouble in finding the exact
location of the famous mine.-St. Louis

Romantic Marriage OF Bicyclists.

A romantic marriage, which followed
three days acquaintance, was recent
ly announced in Jersey City, the bride
groom being John Burke, one of the
Clio wheelmen, whose handsome club
house is at the Hudson boulevard and
Fairmount avenue.
The bride was Miss Gertrude Seaman
Of New York, who month ago went
to visit friends on Fairmount avenue.
She and two friends passed the Clio
clubhouse on the evening of Saturday,
July 8. The members were setting off
fireworks in anticipation of the Fourth.
A bomb that exploded prematurely
passed in dangerous proximity to Miss
Seaman and her friends. She was fright
ened and was invited with her friends
to occupy seats on the lawn until she
recovered. The members were profuse
in their apologies, especially Mr.. Burke.
The incident developed into case Of
love at first sight. Mr.. Burke called on
Miss Seaman the following day, and
when he went away she and her friends
had accepted an invitation To go to Mid
dletown, N. Y, OIL Monday and see Mr..
Burke play ball. They went.
While at Middletown Mr.. Burke pro-
posed and was accepted, and the cere-
mony was performed by justice of tho
peace Immediately after the game.

Miss Phoebe Mckay sailed for Scot
land lately to claim fortune Of more
than 81 900, 900 left by her uncle, who
died about five months ago. She worked
for the last seven years as a servant In
Flushing, N. Y, and was for several
months employed as a cook by Mrs.
Effingham Lawrence Of Bayside.
The uncle had been engaged in the
South African trade, but Miss Mckay
did not know that he had amassed a
great fortune until some time after he
died. She received notice of his death
about three months ago. Her informa-
tion at that time was that he had left
the bulk of his wealth to Presbyterian
church in Scotland, but soon afterward
she learned that she also had been men,
toned in the will
Miss Mckay, however, kept steadily
at work as Mrs. Lawrence's cook, Civ
ing the matter of the legacy little at
tention until recently, when she received
letter from the solicitors who are set
tling up the affairs of her uncle's estate.
The letter directed her to leave at
once for Scotland, saying the amount of
her fortune would be more than 81, 900,
O00
She says it is her intention when she
shall have obtained her money to return
to America and take up her residence in
Flushing, where she has made many
friends. New York Telegram.
