writer was boy he has heard from older
residents OF the village, whose reputation
Tor Neracity is unimpeachabie, OF Irving's
so1ourns here, OF his tutorshIp in the Van
Ness family, and of the strange influence
that surrounded him when the Legend OF
Sleepy Hollow was outlined in his mind.
The writer may be in error I'm assuming
that all OF the Sleepy Hollow romance was
written at Lindenwald, a believe the manu-
script OF the story was forwarded TO New
York by Irving from EuropeD However, by
the strongest circumstantial evidence, as
Wen as by the positive testimony OF credi-
Die witnesses, the genesis of the story and
all that gives ii vital charm can be easily
Traced back to lrving's early associations
In hlnderhook. An aged lady Of tenacious
powers OF memory, and who was well ac-
quainted with all the facts of the case,
gave me a few years before her death a
minute description of the personal charms
of Katrina Van Tassel, whom she had
known quite well in her youth, and lively
account of the exploits of the redoubtable
Brom lonesome Abram Van Alstyne, as
Irving himself confessed.

After Forty-three Years

From the Mobile Register.
 MT. Vance Allen, of St. Louis. native of Mobile, Is visiting his relative, MT. George B. Toulmin, in Toulminvile. MT. Aliens family will be here next week It is possible he will remain permanently in Mobile. Having lived away from Mobile many years, MT. Allen is busy renewing old acquaintanceship here with some he has not seen since boyhood, although he has paid an occasional and brief visit to Mobile since his departure. Among those he vis- ited this week was his old school teacher Mrs Adelaide Edwards, widow of Joseph R. Edwards, who lives in the house on Church street, corner of Roper, where Allen as child learned his letters. Mrs. Ed wards was delighted to see him. After the first greetings were over, curious and affecting incident occurred Mrs. Edwards recalled the day MT. Allen first came to school. It was in 1855, and he was a very little fellow To persuade him to undergo the ordeal, his mother had given him plaything, pearl ornament from her pocketbook, an engraving represent ing huHtsmen capturing two stags. At school this object so greatly absorbed the attention of the little fellows mind, that Mrs. Edwards took it from him and placed it in her desk, where it was forgotten. Off, ten in later years she came across 1t and spoke to Aliens relatives of her intention of returning it, but said she would not trust 1t to the mails or evn to the express company, for she knew it would be such a memorial of his mother that if lost 1t could not be replaced She waited, hoping that her former pupil would return. At last, after forty-three years, he has done so. Her first act was to bring out the pearl picture and place 1t in his hand, the tears streaming from her eyes meanwhile Mir. Allen says he remembers nothing of the ornament, but prizes it more than he would legacy of a large sum of money.

They were youths of 13 and 15 They had 1t made up for the young lady to go to bed as usual, and when the rest of the family was asleep for her to get up and meet him at the gate. The young man was at his post of duty In due time with his buggy and driver not far of. But to his sur prise he was defeated. The old folks didn't find 1t out, but the girl went to sleep and forgot her promise.

ORDERS FOR COMPANY K OF TEE
EIGHTH INFANTRY.
Will Proceed at Once to Camp Pilot
Butte-Will Protect Chinese La
borers.

Orders were received yesterday by
company X of the Eighth Infantry. to
prepare at once for departure from Fort
Douglas, where it has been stationed
since the close OF the war with Spain.
The company will go to Camp Pilot
Butte, and its duty will be to protect
the Chinese laborers at that place IN
accordance with the terms of a treaty
entered into by the United States and
China as the outcome of the massacre
of Chinese at that place some time ago
Lieutenant McMaster will be IN
charge of the soldiers and Lieutenant
Lincoln viii accompany him. 1t is ex-
pected that the company viii be ready
to leave about the middle of the coming
week, preparations for the journey hav-
ing commenced yesterday.
When the slaughter of the foreigners
took place excitement ran high and it
was feared that should the Chinese
continue to seek employment at Rock
Springs the offense might be repeated
and the government, in response to
China's request, stationed troops from
Fort Russell there in order TO afford
protection not only to that cOuntry's
people working in the coal mines, but
also to the lives and property of the
citizens of Rock Springs. At the open
ing of the war with Spain the company
stationed at Camp Pilot Butte, was
ordered to the front and Rock Springs
has been without protection from
repetition of the massacre of last year.

Detective Franks Says With Excep-
ton of 100 Acres the Whole Reg
ion Is a Gigantic Fake.

The familiar figure of Detective E.
A. Franks is again seen on the streets
of Salt Lake, after an absence of 10
months in the Klondike region. He
has come back, he says, to stay, having
arrived at the conclusion, after prac-
teal experience, that Utah beats the
klondike hollow. He says the reports
of the wealth of the Klondike are
grossly exaggerated. There are a few
rich spots in Klondike proper, which,
Mr.. Franks says, do not cover an area
or more than 100 acres. Outside of that
not a single paying property has been
found. There has been a little gold
found in other places. but no claim
outside of the area referred to has been
found rich enough to pay for the work
The reports of the millions and millions
IN gold dust and nuggets being brought
from klOndike, which we see every
now and again in the papers, Mr..
Franks says are for the most part pure
fabrications, gotten up and circulated
by the transportation companies.
The Copper river and the Katzebue
Sound countries are an absolute and
unqualified fake, not even d sign of
gold having been discovered in either
of them. Reports of their wealth in
gold were gotten up by some transpcr-
tation company, and the scheme is
worked in this way: The Transports

poor devils who are broke: they offer
them transportation and free rations to

that they Will sign a statement and cir

Then, to further lend credence to the
stories, the transportation company.

gold nuggets manufactured. shipped
them secretly to the Copper river coun1
try, where they were packed in boxes
and shipped back again. with all the
fuss and publicity possible, as mug
