Judge Wrcn'S Opinion

Judge Wren said Of the famous Guber-
Material contest case yesterday:
"Sadler is undoubtedly elected. never
had any doubts of it in my own mind
from the start and l am certain of it now.
The contest is simply hat of a man
who was fairly beaten in the election, but
who hopes there are enough mistakes in
the ballots cast for his opponent and few
enough in those cast for himself 10 give
him the office.
Il do not know whether the Reno votes
in question will be thrown out or not, and
do @ think it viii materially affect the

nominees. l do not know how the cOur

PEARLS IN HIS SHOES.
Smuggler Arrested With Gems Valued
at $4,000.

New York Nov 21-Ten thousand
smuggled pearls of all sizes, some imi-
tatiOn and some genuine gems, were
taken to the custom house today and
spread out in Collector BidWelPS office.
They viii be taken to the appraiser
stores, where the government experts
Will pass upon their value. The pearls
We're seized by Special Treasury Agent
TheObald from Francois Book, a dealer
in jewels and gems. of Providence, r.
I. Book arrived on the French liner
Bretagne but preceding him had come
q cable message to the customs officials
telling them the Providence man had
pearls of great price in his possession.
To the inspector Book declared he had
nothing dutiable.
He declared also he was going to
Mexico at once, and said nothing about
his business in Providence. So Special
Agent Theobald and the inspectors
made a rigid examination into his bag
gage and his pockets.
In Books trunks were three pairs of
worn shoes, tied together, heel and toe
and wrapped cOmpactly in newspapers.
Inside each pair of shoes We're many
packages of half pearls. There We're
two quarts of the gems altogether They
We're of all sizes, and until the experts
examine them it will not be known
what are genuine and what are imita-
ton.
These half pearls are used extensive
" Ia the manufacture of jeWelry, but
the imitation article is expensive. Both
true and false are dutiable.
When the officers had secured all the
pearls from Books trunk, they exam
ined his wearing apparel. In the inside
pocket of his top coat they found a
package containing 40 beautiful specf-
mems. In the tail pocket of his cut
away coat was another package, and
there were more in other pockets. The
customs officials are inclined to think
that the pearls round on Books person
are genuine and that the others are
possibly limitations. A rough estimate
of the value of the entire seizure is $780,
900.
Book does not speak English. He
said he was born in Austria and had
gone from Trieste to Paris. Special
Agent Theobald has learned of a trip
that Book made from Paris to this
country last May. and regrets that
Books baggage was not searched at
that time Book was taken before Uni
ted States Commissioner Shields and
held in $4,000 bail. He said he had no
means of securing bail and went to
Ludlow street Jail
The treasury agents say they have
no evidence to show that Book had any

SAT UP IN
HER COFFIN.
A Young Missouri Girl Has a
Narrow Escape.
Awakened From a Trance In
Time to Prevent Burial.
FUNERAL ARRANGED.
Says She Had a Vision During
Her Sleep
Telling Her She Would Die In
a Week.

Chnicothe, Mo, Nov. 21.-After being
given up for dead by her relatives and
the attending physicians, and having
all her funeral arrangements made.
Miss Nora Johnson. a. 16 year old girl
living near Braymer, sat up in her cof-
fin and told of a strange visitation that
she had experienced while her parents
were making ready for her interment.
Miss Johnson is the daughter of
well-to-do farmer A few days ago,
without any previous i'll health, she
suddenly fell into a deathlike trance.
Just before animation was suspended
she had been in the best of spirits. The
trance so nearly resembled death that
parents and physicians alike were baf-
fed.
The girl was laid out, and an absent
brother, who was in ChillicOthe, was
telegraphed for.
He had just concluded reading a let
ter from his sister Nora, inviting him
home to Thanksgiving dinner, and the
shock caused him to sWOOn. He had
scarcely reached home to join the other
mourners at his sisters funeral, when
their weeping was changed to amaze
ment by the girl sitting up in her cof-
fin. Her awakening was as sudden as
had been the suspension of animation
Without warning she came out of her
trance, and as her astonished relatives
gathered about her, she related to them
a strange vision.
While she had been on her bier she
declared that she had a dream.
She had seen and talked with the
Lord, and he had told her that she was
to die within a week. The girl talked
about nothing else that had occurred
during her trance. She seemingly was
unconscious of everything about her,
and remembered nothing save the
warning she said she had received from
God.
The nature of the message she
brought back from the spirit land. or
dream land, as it may be, is such that
the JOhnsOns were reticent about tell
ing the facts in the case. During the
week they have watched her carefully.
Yesterday the week expired, and at the
last report the girl was still alive and
healthy.
The Johnsons are highly respectable
and truthful people. They are wildly
impressed with the strange experience
they have passed thrOUgh-that of al
most burying the girl alive.

Mr. Hobart,s First Zee.

LFrom Philadelphia North American. ]
One of the neighbOrs told today how
the vice president made his first fee as
a lawyer. He was employed to write
the will of a well known manufacturer
of Paterson, who was wealthy. Asked
his fee, Mr.. Hobart, the legal hedgling,
replied: zone hundred dollars 1t
was from this that he received a sig
nificant hint how to succeed as a. law
yer. The manufacturer was we'll pleas
ed with his attorney, and turning to his
desk drew out a package of bank
checks that had come in during the
regular course of business. Taking up
one for $500 he indorsed it and handed it
to Mr.. Hobart
with this start in life" said the mar
rator of the story. Mr.. Hobart married
the daughter of Socrates Tuttle, who
has been his helpmeet through all the
years that have followed. Years after
ward Mr.. Hobart learned that the
granddaughter of his first client was
about to be married, and that the fam
lily had been reduced to financial straits.
He sent to her his check for $50 to as
sist in purchasing her trousseau, and
took steps to provide other members of
the family with employment"

FRED RAYMER's IDEA.
Well Known Baseball Short Stop
Talks of Kansas Talent.

Fred Raymer, the well-known short
stop, formerly of the Kansas City team,
was in Topeka recently for a few days.
While here he stated that he had engaged
with Milwaukee for next season. He also
gave a valuable tip on a promising field
for young players. He said:
I have signed to play with the Mflwau-
kee club in 1900 Minor league managers
not overlook the Kansas league, as every
year several youngsters jump into fast
company from that organization The
season of '9S developed such fast players
as Kruger. Stricklett and Miller, and 1900
will see several more tried in the Western
and Interstate leagues.
"Atchison is conceded to have had the
strongest team this year, but lola is not
to be outdone in 1900, as she already has
constructed d new park and viii show a
strong team. The success of many play
ers. who jumped from the amateur ranks
into minor league last season, should
influence managers in adopting my Sug-
gestion. There are. many players on in
dependent teams who only need a chance
to develop into stars with a little season
ing"
