THE WRECK OF THE MAINE.-One
of the Cincinnati papers printed a
story last Monday to the effect that the
location of the keyboard by which the
Maine was blown up in Havana harbor
has been found by an American en-
gineer officer.
The story is that Captain T. L. Hus-
ton, of the volunteers, who entered the
service from Cincinnati, and who has
been assigned to the duty of cleaning
out the forti6cations of Havana, had
discovered in the gun room of the
Quartet de Fuerste, a wooden box or
hut, in which he found gutta percha
tube containing one large copper wire
and several smaller wires.
He also found evidence Of key
board having been torn away. Cap
tain Huston had confided his discovery
to Mr.. Warren J. Lynch, newly ap-
pointed passenger agent of the Big
Four, who was visiting Havana and
said he was about to trace the wires
to prove his theory that the Maine was
exploded from that point. The wreck
of the vessel can be seen from this gun
room, not more than 100 yards distant.
The room itself was in part of the
prison tower to which access was only
allowed to few officers.

USE OF SCHOOL FUNDS.
Have Trustees the Right to Anticipate Tax
Collections?

Have Trustees the Right to Anticipate Tax
Collections?
Columbia Record, Friday.
The superintendent of education, in
pursuit of his investigation of the pur-
chase of charts, finds that almost in
credible sums have been spent for
them in some instances, leaving prac-
tically nothing with which to run the
schools.
Some trustees even went so far as to
anticipate the school tax for year in
advance and made arrangements to
pay cash for the charts.
The attorney general has been re-
quested to give his opinion as to the
right of trustees to purchase supplies
after this fashion. The opinion is not
ready just yet; but generally speak
ing it will hold that trustees have no
such right. When the maps and charts
have thus been purchased there is no
doubt but that they should be paid for.
But that is question for the agent
and the trustees to settle amongst
themselves. 1t may be, however, that
it will he legal to enter into an ar
rangement to purchase now, and the
supplies to be paid for when next years
taxes are available.
Trustees throughout the state are
much interested in the subject and
many letters are being received by Mr..
McMahan in reference thereto. There

She tells Brett that if George is guilty she
will never marry him, being the sister OF
a murderer. Mr.. Keighley Gates is heard
talking about the glass dagger. Brett re-
solves to establish Georges Innocence.
George describes the murder OF Harriet
Staples as he witnessed it. She refused 70

Here is my print. 1t is identical

should you have come to me3 1t is sim
ply a remarkable coincidence.
"Well, to tell you the truth, Mr..
Gates, happened to see the copy OF
yours when l was here last week. 1t

may remember, you could not close l
could not help noticing it, for it was

Gates laughed.
IL see, Captain Brett, you are warm

gratulate you on your ingenuity and
powers Of observation.
He said this somewhat sarcastically,
but I forgave him, for he admitted to
being in bad temper.
"But how did it get in the police al
bum?' asked.
"I'm sure Idon't know, said Gates
II did not put it there. "
"Of course not, laughed. "But do
you happen to know anything about the
lady that would connect her in any way
with the murder?''
Nothing at all that I am aware of.
I met her some time ago returning from
India, and l heard she died last year.
She was a most charming woman and
had many friends. Some one on board
took her photograph, and she honored
me, along with others, with a print
That is the whole history Of my copy.
This was distinctly disappointing.
What we had looked upon as an I'M
portant clew turned out to be OF no
value at all unless we could trace the
prints, and that was rather unlikely.
"Can you tell me who got copies be-
sides YOURSELF"
II cannot. I don't know bow many
prints there were, and l certainly never
knew where they all went to. The man
who took them was called Ralston. He
is in the Indian civil service, and have
no doubt l could find out his address for
you if you wish it..
II don't expect he will be of any use
to US, but l dare not leave even that
stone unturned. l shall be very glad,
Mr. Gates, if You will get me that in
formation, and possibly you may by
that time remember the others of your
fellow passengers who also got picture
of the lady"

Embalmed Heads. Hes

An interesting but rather grewsome
curio in the possession Of a New York
gentleman is an embalmed head Of a
South American Indian. BY a process
the secret of which is known only to
one or two tribes of these savages, the
head Is perfectly preserved, so far as
contour, features and expression are
concerned, the size of the head, how
ever, being considerably reduced. The
flesh has been rendered perfectly
smooth and hard by the treatment 1t
has received; the whole face and head,
indeed, having the appearance of red
dish-brown marble. The hair remains
long, and as in life.
