TO HUNT FOR TREASURE.
An Effort to he Made to Recover
One Lost ON Coast Of CORNWALL.


One Lost ON Coast of Cornwall.
The periodical washing up OF gold and
silver coin on the beach OF Gunwalloe. in
the Lizard district of Cornwall. has
prompted the London Board OF Trade TO
make a determined effort to reclaim from
the bottom OF the sea the enormous treas
ure of 81. 0Oo,0e0 which is known to lie
buried under the sands and rocks.
This great treasure sank beneath the
waves some twenty years ago, when a
Spanish vessel containing the gold and
silver colo and many bars OF gold was
wrecked on the beach in fierce storm.
All this gold and silver was being con-
yeyed to London for safety, owing 10 the
unsettled state OF affairs In Spain in 1874.
Almost every week reports have come
from the beach of persons finding pieces
Of Spanish money. and from time to time
companies have been organized with the
object OF recovering the lost treasure; but
OH account OF the peculiarly exposed part
OF the coast and the great depth Of the
ser, there even at ebb tide, the attempts
have been In vain.
An iron founder OF Helston picked up a
few days ago quite large amount OF coin
that had been washed on the beach, and
daily at ebb tide the beach Is freQuerted
by fortune hunters.
The method to be employed by the COM
pany which has been entrusted with the
task OF discovering the treasure. will be
thar OF a Swedish engineer. who. by his
new invention. recently raised a valuable
wreck for the Swediah government. His
ocntrivance consktp OF q large iron cyl.n-
der. which will be sunk over the spot
wher, HE richly freighted vessel went
down. and which viii ts pushed many feet
below the surface OF the sand. The cylin-
der will be high enough to reach the top
Of the adjoining cliff.
At the bottom OF the cylinder are gutta
percha arms. into which the workmen who
are let down into the cylinder can insert
their hands and feel their way. The cylin-
der can be moved from time to time until
the wreck Is reached.
The work will bs slow, as this part OF
the Cornwall coast is almost continually
at the mercy OF furious galss.-New York
Journal.

CamfnrI for Women.

Some time ago Pullman's Palace Car
company built three parlor cars ioi
the B. & Os New York trains, and the
radical departure from other cars OF
this character lay in the toilet room
for ladies, which was eight feet IN
length. Recently the same company
has built eight new sleepers Tor the
New York-St. Louis line of the B. e ",
and the designer of the cars has evil
IDENTIFY been impelled by the popular
ity of the ladies' retiring room in the
parlor cars to give to the ladies vast
deal more space than they ever mad pe-
fore in sleeping cars. These new cars
are said by the Pullman people to be
the finest they ever turned out, ana
the ladies' retiring room is exceeding
ly commodious, and contains, besides
other toilet necessities, dresser with
a long pier glass. The cars are nm
ished In vermillion wood, decorated
with inlaid marquetry work. and the
upholstery on the backs and seats Is
entirely new and different from any
heretofore used, being a sort Of a mo-
ouette with a dark green border and
center pattern of bright color. A sim
liar design OF ornamentation has been
applied to the ceiling, giving the car
an arabesoue effect. They are also
supplied with all the modern appli-
ances such as wide vestibules. anti
telescoping device, air pressure water
system and are lighted with Pintsch
gas. A very pleasing effect is obtained
by the oval windows of opalescent
glass. the first that has been used in
the construction of the sleeping cars.

than his lawless, picturesque predeces-
sor.
He was bred upon the ranches or
came as young man from the
States" attraced by the adventurous
life OF the plains, and inspired by the
hope OF making fortune in cattle
raising, as so many men did in the be-
ginning Usually the newcomer was
passable rider before he came west.
Afterwards. by experience more or less
painful he learned the idiosyncrasies
OF broncho nature, how to keep his
saddle in pitching sea- with his
pony jumping stif-legged beneath him.
and to handle cattle In all their moods
in all weathers.
1t would be difficult to find any
where cavalry recruits better fitted in
character and training than the cow
boy of the plains. In everything but
military discipline he is a proved SOL
dier through his mode of life He Is
hardy, enduring, accustomed to hard
ships, to sudden calls to duty, and to
long stretches in the saddle without
food or rest. His bed is the ground
under the rain or stars as may happen;
his simple fare is much the same as
that of the army soldier. His home is
the saddle, and he is usually good
shot, who can manage his firearms
handily from the back of horse. His
standard of honor and duty, as he sees
them, is high. and he thinks that moth
ing is so disgraceful as cowardice. In
his personal quarrels and in defending
HIS life and his EMPLOYERS property
against Indians and white robbers he
has in many cases had already his bap-
tism of fire. He is resourceful in emer-
gency, and, valuable quality in cav
alryman, he has an Indian instinct of
locality and difficult country. More
over he is an ultra-loyal American,
agsressively patriotic and ready at all
times to fight for his country's honor
"at the drop of the hat" What disci-
pline and intrepidity the cowboy Will

like Wood and Roosevelt is told In the

ployed as infantry, throughout the ad-
vance and siege. the rough riders

only in active fighting but in the hard

New Art Education in tho South.

One of the most pleasing signs of
the times in our southern states is the
widespread interest being shown in
technical education. There the indus
trial conditions have undergone
marked changes within few years.
In many sections the planter is giving
way to the manufacturer and the lat
ter, usually with northern training
and capital. is already competing with
success, especially in the lines OF iron
and steel and wooden and cotton goods.
with older concerns elsewhere. Under
several acts of congress these states,
with all others. have been encouraged
to establish agricultural and mercan-
tile colleges that are usually attached
to state universities and are similarly
controlled. Excellent as most of these
are, 1t Is doubtful if there are any
that really answer the demands OF the
day. The new movement Is most in
timately related to these interests that
are building up the south as manu-
featuring section. In the heart Of the
cotton and woolen-mill center OF
Georgia, and under the direction OF
the Atlanta Technical School, a spe-
cial textile school is being erected and
equipped, and the same is being done
in similar places In the two Carolinas.
These schools are projected on the
model Of those in many of the chief
manufacturing cities of Europe. and
differ in purpose and results from any
now in operation in this country.

A FATHERS STORY.

From The Erening Crescent, appleton, Wis.
A remarkable cure for disease which
has generally wrecked the lives of child-cn,
and left them in n condition to which death
itself would be preferred, has attracted .
great amount Of attention among the res
idents of the west end of Appleton.
The case is that of little Willard Creech,
son of Richard ID. Creech, a well known
employe of one of the large paper mills in
the Fox River Valley. The lad was attacked
by spinal disease and his parents had given
ap all hope of his over being we'll again
now in school as happy as any of his mates.

resides at 1862 Second Street, Appleton,
