LEFT ON TRAINS.
All Sorts of Articles Are Forgotten by
Absent Minded Passengers.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Recently a Chicago railroad dis
played in it's unclaimed parcel room
five barrels of rubber overshoes and a
box of false teeth. All this property
and more during period of six months
had been left on the suburban and
through trains by absent minded pas
sengers. The general baggage agent,
upon being asked what was the oldest
occurrence of this kind, said that a
woman once left on a train a six
months-old baby, and she did not miss
II until a trainman overlook her with
the little bundle of humanity before
she got outside of the train shed. 1t
was not case of abandonment. She
had forgotten to take up her own Off
spring.
Only one-half of the articles left on
trains are claimed and returned to
owners. At all the railroad offices in
Chicago there are to be found motley
collections of about all the articles
which man or woman ever owned. 1t
would be impossible to list them in a
whole page of a newspaper
The article which figures most ex-
tensively among the lost and found of
the big railroads is the umbrella. An
official of the Illinois Central says he
received in the baggage department
1900 umbrellas a year. General Agent
Sadd, of the Burlington, says his rec
ords show about 600 a year, and the
other lines report large collections of
this serviceable article which is left on
trains in all kinds of weather. On a
recent fine, sunshiny day the Burling-
ton railroad showed on it's record a
whole page OF abandoned umbrellas,
Next come the overshoes, which are
daily found. singly and in pairs, and
oftentimes odd in size and kind. At
all the offices they are accumulated
to the extent of barrels and barrels.
1t is a common occurrence to find up
per, lower, and partial sets of false
teeth. Some give evidence of long SER
vice, others have been too new, and
have been laid out" to give relief. But
they come in all shapes and sizes,
Wearing apparel in large quantities
is to be found in the lost parcel room
The clerks in the Atoms quarters at
the Union station fitted out a dummy
figure with every single article that a
man is likely to wear from head TO
foot. The articles were all left piece
by piece on the trains and gathered
up by the employees until the figure
was logged out in newest fashion.

again, it's whereabouts having been
discovered through information re-
ceived from a former slave named
Granderson, who had helped to bury it,
but who preserved the secret of it's To-
cation until he found death was near,
when he divulged it to the proper rar-
ty. The keirs of Mrs. Philip Williams
gave the strong box to Mr.. Philip Will
liams Avirett, who now has it in his
possession.
Among the treasures which were con-
tained in the strong box at the time it
was buried during the late war was
miniature portrait of the late Philip
Williams, painted on ivory by Rem
brandt Peale. The miniature is incased
in quaint oval silver locllet. and is also
in the possession Of Mr.. Avirett. Au-
thorities on such matters have ex-
pressed the opinion that the miniature
is as fine a specimen of Peale's mar
vellous art in miniature portrait paint
irg as there is extant.

man Barbora Lima, and Joaquin Au-
gusto Freire took steam launch and
went together on board. On their ar
rival they learned that as soon as the
steamer anchored Generals Argollo
and Costallat had gone on board and
had a secret conference with General
Barbora. They remained on board for
some time and saw the president of
the republic pass when he was leav-
ing the steamer.
Go" said Freire. in a voice loud
enough to be heard by a bystander,
but you will never again enter your
carriage"
When the president, after landing on
his return from the steamer, was pass
ing with his suite through the arsenal,
there were a few shouts of Long live
the memory Of Marshal Floriano Peix-
oto!" which were answered with shouts
of Long live the president of the re-
public" Marcellino, when the presi-
dent passed him. removed his cap, and
then, following the president, pointed
at him his pistol, which missed fire.
He was overpowered and arrested. but
before his arrest was effected he had
killed with the knife the minister of
war; severely wounded the presidents
chief of staff, and slightly wounded
several other persons. Marcos GURUS
is said to have assisted in disarming
and arresting him.
Deocleciano, who had been seen with
Marcellino on several occasions, was
arrested at the headquarters of the
First regiment of cavalry and other
arrests speedily followed. The presi-
dent issued an address to the nation
and congress voted a bill for proclaim
ing martial law, which since the ad-
journment of congress has been main
tanned and prolonged by the president
and is still in force.

LORD FAIRFAx's STRONG BOX.
story of an Interesting Relic of the
Early DAYS of Virginia.
From the Washington Star

In one of the partments of the Hotel
Raleigh. now occupied by Mr.. Philip
w. Avirett, is a remarkable relic, which
has a history of great interest. 1t is
nothing more or less than the iron
strong box of Thomas, Lord Fairfax.
frs. lord proprietary of Virginia. The
box or chest is made of heavy wrought
iron, into which has been welded iron
straps crossing each other at right an
giles. The slight ornamentation on the
front of the box shows it to be of Italian
workmanship. The box is in state of
remarkable preservation. The keyhole
is in the centre of the massive lid, and
a large, heavy key, black with age,
turns easily in il. A wonderful thing
about the lock is that the key in turn
ing sends sliding bolts out from all
sides of the lid to cling beneath heavy
extensions of the four sides of the box
itself, upon precisely the same principle
as that upon which the modern bank
vault lock in universal use today is
managed.
The history of the rellc is romantic.
The strong box was buried by Lord
Fairfax at his home, Greenway court.
near Winchester, Va. when he died.
ne IedSOH lDdl It ARRAY DuIlSu III WAS
that he had filled it with money collect
ed by him in the shape of revenues for
the Crown, but he died before he had
an opportunity to take ii up and en-
Joy the treasure. The only person who
knew about the burial of the box was
DIR. Thomas Woodcock, Of Winchester.
After the death of Lord Fairfax, DIR.
Woodcock dug it up and took it 20 Phil
adelphia. where he gave IL to the agents
of the Bank of England. who sent it to
England, still filled with money and
muninents of tItic. When the contents
had been removed the box was given to
the Fairfax heirs in England.
The Fairfax heirs sent 1t back to DR..
Woodcock filled with silver plate, and
the strong box eventually passed from
DR.. Woodcock to Mrs. Hannah Dunbar
of Winchester. At Mrs. Dunbar's
death she willed the box to her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Philip Williams, of Virginia,
during her lifetime, and provided that
it should then descend to Mrs. Will
liams's heirs, among whom was Mrs.
Aviret, wife of the Rev. Jas. B. Aviret,
formerly of Silver Springs and now of
Ncrth Carolina.
During the late war the chest was
again buried by those who had Il in
possession at Winchester, and a large
quantity of valuable silver plate was
placed in 1t In order to protect 1t from
possible seizure by the soldiers. Sew
eral years ago the box was dug up

THE SNOWY OWL.
Something About This Winter Nisi-
tor to the United States.

This beautiful owl makes it's nest in
the far north, and in winter visits the
United States. Arctic explorers have
found it as far north as they have ever
reached. They tell us that H. nests on
the ground or on a mossy rock, for
while most owls nest In trees. there
are no trees in these far northern re-
gions-even the shrubs are stunted.
They do not construct a nest or, at
most, only gather together a few leaves
and feathers. The eggs are eight to ten
in number, about two and half inches
in length, and nearly two inches in the
smaller diameter, and, like all owls
eggs, they are of a dirty white.
The young birds are at first downy
and brownish-gray in color. 1t is not
till after they have left the nest that
they are white. marked with brown,
like the old birds.
The snowy owl hunts it's prey by day.
Rabbits or hares, grouse and ptarmigan
are pounced upon and eaten, and also
small quadrupeds like mice and lem
mings, which abound in the Arctic re-
gions. 1t also catches fish, watching
silently by the streams till a fish comes
near the surface, when the owl seizes
it in its strong claws.
The snowy owl is about two feet in
length from bill to tip of tail, and it's
wings when extended measure nearly
five feet from tip to tip. Most speci-
mems are white, marked with brown;
but rarely is one seen pure white. The
plumage is extremely thick and warm;
even the feet are clad in feathers to
the tips of the claws.
Most writers that have been to the
Arctic regions say nothing about the
voice of this owl. so we might infer
that they had never heard It hoot as
other owls do; but an explorer of the
last century describes it's cry as very
unpleasant.-our Animal Friends.

father is still better. The old man is now
a preacher, but he used to be a lawyer,
and nothing pleases him more than to tell
of the odd code that obtained when he
was "at the bar"
For one thing. Elder Blake apologized
for the unseemly tale he was going TO
tell. and then told it.
81 was on the grand jury that year. and
there was little or nothing TO do. Texas
was as quiet as a sheepfold. So we
watched for infractions of both law and
custom. 1t Is a well-known rule of law
that man letting down a pair of bars
must let down the top bar first. Well,
the judge came across my lot that morn
ing, and let down the bottom bar first be-
fore he led his saddle horse across.
80 we indicted him. Being the accus-
ed. of course he didn't sit on his own
case, so the boys elected me Judge to III
the vacancy, and we let him have coun-
sci. He wouldn't plead guilty, so we
found him guilty, and twelve of the
grand jury, sitting as a petit jury, fined
him gallon of whisky.
IN Texas, half of the fines go to the
county and as We were the representa-
tives of the county in that transaction,
We collected the fine and turned it into
the general fund-a glassful at a time"

DIR. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MED
IClNE.
A Remarkably Successful Rem edy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and stcm.
ach Troubles.

ach Troubles.
DIR. Wurth, in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine, said. There
is none which is certain to be so valu-
able and far-reaching in benefit as
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the new
stomach remedy; l say far-reaching,
because people little realize how i'm
portant a sound stomach and vigor-
Gus digestion is to every man, woman
and child.
Indigestion is the starting point Of
consumption, heart disease, Bright's
disease, diabetes, nervous prostration,
liver troubles why is this so? Simply
because every nerve, muscles and tis-
sue in our bodies is created and nour-
ished from the food we eat. II that
food is, by reason of weak stomach,
compelled to lie for hours. a sour, fer
menting mass Of half digested food, it
poisons the blood and nervous system
creates gas which distends the stomach
and bowels. causing pressure on the
heart, lungs and other organs and seri-
ously impeding their action.
He says further, the point to direct
attention is not the nerves. nor heart,
nor lungs nor kidneys, but the stomach,
the first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion
and weak stomachs is not some ca
thartic, but a remedy which will digest
the food, increase the flow of gastric
juice. absorb the gases, and Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will accomplish ex-
actly this result in any case of stomach
trouble, because these tablets are COM
posed of the digestive acids, aseptic
pepsin, Golden Seal and Bismuth, pleas
ant to taste, and not being a patent
medicine, can be used by anyone with
perfect safety. / believe Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets will cure any form of
Indigestion and stomach trouble ex-
cept cancer of stomach.
Full size packages of Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists
at SO cents. A book on stomach dis
eases. together with thousands of tes-
timonials, will be sent by addressing
