yesterday afternoon the wee pianiste
whose name seems to be on nearly ev-
cry ones tongue, tried the great taber-
nacle organ again. Palomas forte is
the piano and that is the instrument
that she seems to master. Two years
ago she took up the violin and devoted
herself to it with marked success for
about a year-but the small size in
strument that she was compelled to
use-lacked tone" as she expresses it.
and her little arms were not long
enough for the full sized violins, so she
gave it up though no doubt she will
devote time to the violin again in later
years. The organ, and particularly the
great one in the tabernacle, has a
strong attraction for Paloma Yester-
day after playing on it a, while she was
loath to leave so much did she enjoy it,
and with the three short trials she has
had, it is believed that her improvising

The following story records a smart
reply of a Scotch student to his pro-
fessor. AS a rule, the professor has the

were turned. An enthusiastic professor
had been advocating the advantages of
othletic exercise. 1.-The Roman youths, -
he cried, used TO swim three times
across the Tiber before breakfast. -
The Scotch student smiled, at which
the irate professor exclaimed: 'Mr. Nc
Allister, why do you smile? We shall
be glad to share your amusement -
The canny Scot replied: L was just
thinking, sir, that the Roman youths
must have left their clothes on the
wrong bank at the end of their swimI"

ELUSIVE YELLOW SPECTER
Party of Klondikers Return to New
York Sadder and Wiser.

New York, Aug. 19.-With visions of
gold before them, Edrtmen and Adolph
Caesar left their happy Hoboken home
on Feb. 26 and sailed for the KlOndike
on the schooner Ectaea. They are now
back, after an interesting trip from
BuenOs Ayres, via London Antwerp,
and Montreal.
Frank Mccarthy. a Brooklyn fireman,
was responsible for the expedition. Each
of the 16 passengers had paid 800 into
a common fund to provision the craft
and take it to the Klondike. The
schooner ran into Buenos Ayres harbor
The first man ashore was Mccarthy He
was sick and tired of the Klondike, and
would have gone no further for cord
of gold. AS soon as he could he sold the
boat for about one-tenth of its value
and engaged passage for home, after
returning to each of the passengers
about So of his passage money.
The Caesar brothers snapped up a
chance to work their way to London on
a sailing vessel. From London they
worked their way to Antwerp, and by
the time they reached that port they
had saved enough money to enable
them to cable home for a remittance.
The remittance reached them and home
they came, by way of Montreal
They tell narrowing stories of KlOn-
dixie expeditions stranded all along the
South American coast. At MOntevideo
they met the schooner Agate. which
sailed from New York with ga gold
seekers, and was supposed to have been
lost at sea with all hands. The schoon-
er was all right. but the passengers
were in danger of starving to death in
MontevideO. They were all stranded
after a long trip, and the chance of any
of them getting home was slim when
the Caesar brothers left.
They also heard of a boat, supposed
to have been the schooner J. T. Berry,
which sailed from this port with II pas
sengers for the Klondike. 1t took the
Berry six weeks to make the trip to
Montevideo and that is as far as it had
gone when the Caesars left.

MEET AFTER FORTY YEARS
One of Torrey's Men Finds Mother
Mourned as Dead.

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 19.-That
truth is stranger than fiction is again
proven in the curious story Of how a
trooper in Torrey's wild riders regi-
ment found his mother after an alb
sence of over forty years.
The trooper. Tom Williams, Company
K left last night for Fort Mead to see
many years. She is now "a years of
age, and will see her boy whom she has
mOurned many years.
Years ago, when the family lived on
the border, the Indians made a raid
and killed Williams father. The moth
er, with a heroic spirit, bravely fought
off the Indians, killing several, when
she was struck down by the merciless
blows of a tomahawk
Tom, then a youngster of or 8, was
was taken with the band of red men
and was for a year or two subjected
to the worst kind of treatment. He
. bears scars on his face and person
where Sits were made and the skin
torn off by the redskins in their eff
forts to harden" him. He almost for
got the English language, but one day
the band he was with met defeat and
he was rescued by the whites. It took
several years to win him back to civili-
cation.
When Williams was a youth of IS he
became a, cowboy and removed to Wy
Oming. Williams enlisted under Col
Onel Torrey and came here. In some
and his mother, now living at Fort
Mead, south Florida, 200 miles south of
here, was informed of it, and communi-
Gated with friends here.
Williams was informed of the fact
that his mother still lived. In less than
twenty hours he secured a furlough and
last night left here to see his mother
1t was queer story and his COM
rades crowded to the depot to see him
off and wish him all manner of good
luck and good wishes.
Williams is one of the best men of the
troop and Colonel Torrey speaks highly
of him, saying he was a very quiet man,
but with a courage and spirit that car
ried him through everything.
Another strange case came up this
morning. when a private in the For
ty-ninth Iowa met here his father, who
had been missing over ten years. The
father this spring came to Jacksonville,
purchasing a small business here.
The soldier entered the fathers store
last night and the recognition was mu-
tuaI.

TELLS A STRANGE TALE.
Edward F. Levy Says he Was Hypno-
tized, Dragged and Kidnapped.

St. Joseph, Aug. 19.-Edward F. Levy,
whose mother lives in this city and who
has been employed at the government
arsenal at Rock Island, Ill, was found
here in a dazed condition, unable to tell
his name. Since he has become fully
conscious he has told a strange sto-
ry almost beyond belief
Levy says a cab drove up to the
boarding house in front of which he was
seated at Rock Island and a woman
called him. He approached and was drag
ged inside, when a man hypnotized him
and drugged him. That was last Sun
day night, and Levy knew nothing more
until he came to his senses here.
There is a faint recollection in the
young mans mind of having committed
some crime, he says, under the direc-
ton of the man and woman having him
in charge. He thinks he murdered a
child while he was in hypnotic state,
and thinks the crime was committed in
Chicago. He has found in his pockets
papers showing that he was in that city
but he has no recollection of being there
He remembers coming partially to his
senses once and finding himself in a
room with two women and a man.
They were chatting his hands.
Levy is the heir to a large estate in
Pennsylvania, but is unable to connect
the kidnapping with that fact The Of
ficers are investigating his story and
looking for the kidnapers. who are
said to have come here with him.

MISS TRUNDLE'S FORTUNE.
Adolph Sutro Bequeaths $4,000 to a
Washington Woman.

Washington, Aug. ia Washington
of the late Adolph Sutro to the extent. of
$4,000. To Miss Hattie Trundle Of this
Allen" the California millionaire left this
fortune, in PREPARATION for attacks made
upon Miss Trundle in virginia City, New,
by the newspapers of that state.
The jealousy of Sutro's wife was the
first cause Of the trouble She claimed TYsd
Trundle, and one day attacked her with
tel. This outbreak led to a suit for di-
vorce, entered by Mrs. Sutro, and when
it came to trial Miss Trundle was wit
ness. She gave very damaging testimony
against Sutro. and shortly afterward was
most venomously attacked by the newspa-
pers of Virginia City. Ali sorts of ad-
Ventures were attributed to the unfortun-
that Sutro was the fnstigator of these
stories. Years later it was currently re-
ported that he had furnished the stories
to the papers and paid handsomely for
their publication. The separation of Sutro
from his wife was the upshot of the whole
affair. Miss Trundle was lost sight of
after the trial.
Sutro's will was made in 1882. three years
after the Virginia City trouble, and his
conscience seems to have prompted him
for the malicious attacks made through
his fundamentally Miss Trundle three

is made in reparation for the malicious at
tacks upon her. Since that time Adolph
Sutro became reformer, and was elected
mayor of San Francisco on a reform
in some safe repository. been made public
during his candidacy, it would have been
a most effective weapon in the hands of
his opponents could they have published
the bequest to Miss Trundle.
A search has been made in Washington
to locate if possible the Miss Trundle
named in Sutro's will. That instrument
states that the bequest is to Miss Hattie
Trundle, hitherto known as Mrs. George
Allen" and all the Trundles and George
Aliens in the city have been visited.
None of them knows anything of the wo-
man named in the will. The Trundles in
Washington all come from the Maryland
family of that name. Even the older
members have no recollection of the Vir-
Aliens.
