A VALUABLE RATS NEST.
Ii Was Made Out of Greenbacks Worth
About One Thousand Dollars,


From the New York Commercial Advertiser
While workmen We're engaged last week
in demolishing a barn on the Thompson
property in Dobbs Ferry, N. Y, they found
under the floor a rats nest which was
made of greenbacks. The money had been
badly torn and chewed, but most Of It. II
not all, is redeemable.
Professor Thomas F. Thompson, who now
owns the property, says the money was
probably hidden under the barn floor some
years ago by his father, Robert Thompson,
who began to act queerly in 1889, and be-
came possessed Of a fear of banks, law
yers and corporations. After that he car
ried his money about him. He seldom If
ever, allowed any one but himself to visit
the barn. Mr. Thompson, ST., died Sep
tember is, 1893, and Professor Thomp-
sons mother lived until December last
By her will the estate, which consisted
of 5000 and the house and land, was to
be divided equally between Professor
Thompson and his brother. The professor
took the house and his brother the money.
In equity the money found in the rats nest
belongs to Professor Thompson. The pro-
fessor Is q blind musician and has COM
posed a number of pieces.
The total amount of money in the rats
nest is thought to be about $1,000. It is
In S. $40 and $50 bills.

Fred Cook has resulted in several changes
among the staff Of the Sd Battalion. Maj.
Wilson has nominated First Lieut.. Frank
E. Gibson, inspector Of rifle practice, for
commission as quartermaster to I'LL the
vacancy: First Lieut. Luther H. Reichel-
derfer adjutant, for commission as m
spector of rifle practice to supply the offlce
vacated by Lieut.. Gibson, and Brigade
Sergt. Maj Richard j. Donnelly Tor com
mission adjutant.
The new adjutant formerly held that po-
sition but resigned in the fall of 1895 He
is capable officer, and will undoubtedly
be extended cordial and unanimous well
come back to the Sd. Lieut.. Donnelly is
the popular and Cbliging clerk at National
Guard headquarters.
Desecraiion of Military Uniforms.
The subject of the desecration of the
uniform of the National Guard and the
army was considered at a meeting of mill
tary men in Chicago recently. The Off
GERS present mostly favored legislation pro-
tecting the uniform of the soldier. One
said it was impossible to tell an officer
Of the guards from member of the Sal
walton Army or the volunteers, wkile an
other stated that he was almost ashamed
to wear his uniform on the street, be-
cause stral gers were apt to mistake him
for a car conductor or the bass drummer
of a concert band. One speaker, who, by
the way, bears the title of general, told
how he had been taken for park police
man, and said he had urged upon the leg
islature the need of some legislation pro-
tecting the uniform Of the guard. The
legislative committee of a newly organized
officers association will take action upon
the subject. The question of establishing
| a military school in Chicago was discussed,
and the opinion was expressed that the
association should work for such an end.
The new school would be modelled after
West Point.
In New York the offense of wearing any
uniform or designation of grade similar
| to those in use by the National Guard is
punishable by not more than years i'm
| prisonmert or a fine of not more than
| $500. This law, however, has not been
enforced, but in future the National Guard
| Association proposes 1t shall be, and passed
resolutions at its last convention to that ef-
! feet. In accordance with these resolu-
| tions President Charles H. Luscomb, lieu
| tenant colonel 18th Regiment, has appoint
ed Major d. X. Case, 23d Regiment, to
take charge OF prosecutions. One of the
| first cases that, 1t is stated, should receive
| attention Is an organization of volunteers,
| which wears practically an exact coun,
| terpart of the United States army and
| National Guard uniform, as we'll as desig-
| nations of grade.
| Captain J. s. Tomlinson, formerly in
| command of Company B, 9th Battalion
has accepted the tender of the captaincy
| of Company A, Engineer Corps. The lat
| ter organization, under his direction. is
| already making noticeable strides forward
Sergeant Duncan b. Davenport has been
| elected second lieutenant of Company A
| 9TH Battalion.

a delicately handled miniature of Mrs.
Joseph Willard and her daughter. On the
first of next month he expects to go to
New York tc paint a miniature of Mrs.
