SEARCH FOR HIDDEN GOLD.
Heirs of Andrew Eeichari Trying to
Eind His WeaIth.

Shamokin, Pa, Sept. l6.-It Is supposed
that Andrew Reichard, who died yester-
day, had several thousand dollars in gold
buried about his farm and it's outbuild-
ings, and his widow and relatives are
making determined search for the hid
den wealth. Up to yesterday evening
they have found sl6O all in gold, which
the dead man had stored away in a cor
ner of the barn.
Mrs. Reichard says that her husband
lacked confidence in banks and informed
her shortly before his death that he had
considerable gold hidden about the prem
ises.
A few years ago he had 81, 500 I'm bank
notes hidden in one of his outbuiidings,
but when he went to get it one day he

lilies who needed 1t, and, whether Col
onel Roosevelt ever loses his popularity
with the rest of the country or not,
there are some women who will never
cease to be grateful to him. When the
colonel was thanked for this deed of
kindness, however, it seemed to embar-
rass him, and he said that the money
came from Perry Belmont and ''other
friends" and he thought it would be a
fitting memorial to Tiffany to do as he
had DONE.

1t may be only Incredible stupidity that
has dictated the policy of the American
Commissioners in Cuba, or it may be the
purpose Of the President to foster the
independence sentiment among the peo-
pie so that he will be relieved of all fu-
ture responsibility for the island. In any
case, it is plain surrender to Blanco
and a base betrayal of the Cubans.

Cubn's Ancient Capital.
CFrom the Atlanta Constitution J

There is only one other town in Cuba which
claims to be older than Santiago, and that is
Baracoa According to the traditions Of this
town it was founded in 15li, or two years be-
fore Santiaco vrs founded, but there is nothing
definite upon which the truth of this contention
can be based. For many years Santiago was the
seat of Spain's authority in Cuba, and even to-
day it is one of the most important cities on the
island. its population amounting to something
over zoo, 900.
Since the United States flag now waves over
Santiago temporarily at least, We ought naturally
to feel some interest in the traditions of Cuba S
ancient capital, and not allow ourselves to he
content simply with the glories which our recent
victory has brought to U.S.

The Postoffice Thronged by Eager
Christmas Visitors Dispatch
ing Presents and Wait
ing for Them

The holiday mail is so phenomenally
large this year that Postmaster Mathews
was obliged to telegraph to Washington for
permission to add five more extra clerks to
the force already employed. favorable
reply was received, and five more men went
to work yesterday morning. Two men in
the corridor are kept steadily busy weigh
ing parcels, and long lines of people await
their turn at the stamp window, il addition
to those supplied by an additional clerk al
table. In the registry department there is
a wilderness of packages piled up, and along
in the afternoon it seems az though the
clerks could never work their way through
in their waking hours. They do. however,
get every parcel, small and large, into the
big striped mail sacks that are tuil to burst
ing, and started on the way to their d5stina-
ton before these faithful servtors OF the
public leave the building, though the hands
on the clock point to the hours OF 4 new
day before the old day labor is done.
Many people who want packages regis
tered either do not take the trouble to at
tend to it, or do not understand the pro
cess required. They just stick On ,uf-
icent amount OF postage, drop it in the
box and trust to the clerk, tor the Iest.
All these are carefully sorted GU, by watch
full eyes upstairs and scat Gown to the
registry department in the basement to be
suitably tagged, cards attached and re-
ceipts written out.
The very small parcels sent to this depart
ment are enclosed in a large government en-
velope to insure greater safety.
There is a class OF impatient people who
are exceedingly annoying to the eff Gals in
this busy time, and they begin invariably
about this distance from Christmas every
year. These are the people who have re-
eeived letters from friends that the sea-
son : remembrances in some shape have been
or will be mailed The letter is here. and
certainly the package should be right along
on It's heels, but it has not arrived, conse-
quent'y they repair to the postmaster's pri-
vate office to know why it has not been de-
livered. Assistant Postmaster Humphrey
sits at the first desk, and he gets the brunt
OF the battle He casts sidelong glances at
the work piled up waiting his hands and
head while he carefully explains to an irate
woman-in these cases it's always ii woman
