A TREASURE BOX MISSING.
Five Thousand sovereIgns Lost From
mn Australian steamer.

San Francisco June s-The purser of
the steamer Alameda. which arrived yes
terday from Australia. reports that box
containing 5000 sovereigns. or s25. 200. is
missing from the strong room of the ves-
sci. At Sydney thirty boxes of treasure
containing 10000 sovereigns were ship
ped for this port. Each box held 5000
sovereigns. This treasure was carried en-
board by porters At the entrance to the
gangway leading 10 the treasure room
stood the purser and first officer. Neither
checked of the boxes on paper. but both
depended on their memory.
The purser is positive that thirty boxes
were taken on board but the first officer
Is not certain. 1t was the duty of the first
officer TO see that the porter entered the
treasure-room where the third officer re-
ceived the boxes. The weak point of the
system is that each officer was not requir-
ed to check of the number of boxes. The
theory is that one porter instead of enter
ing the treasure returned sharply at the
corner and disappeared down the gangway
beyond and then by means Of confederate
transferred the box to shore.
The robbery was not discovered till three
days ago The steamship company is re-
sponsible for the loss. This is the second
robbery OF the kind that has occurred on
the Australian steamer line within year.

Unen-y Lie. the H.nh,

The Queen of the Holland Danes. La
vinia l of the alleged houses of Van West
erveldt and Dempsey. seems to be in some
sort of trouble most of the time. At pres
ent she is engaged in a lawsuit with her
brother. who is plain John Dempsey, and
rejoices in no title, natural or acquired
He carries it further He does not even
rejoice in his sisters title. and seems de-
termined to prevent her from doing so
1t seems that. according to the affidavit
of the Queen, her brother is Withholding
from her certain heirlooms to wit: -Four
silver teaspoons and an antique silver tea
set, consisting of coffee pot, teapot, sugar
bowl, and cream pitcher" The plebeian
John denies this. and worse. He says that
the articles are not heirlooms at ALL but
were purchased in a Junk shop. which Is
of course. an assertion painful to any sensi-
tive and high-minded queen. But that is
not all. He says that certain interesting
inscription on the silverware, dated some
thing more than one hundred years ago,
was placed there by orders of Queen La
vinia and at a cost of twenty three good
American dollars.
But even this is not all. The sacrle-
gious hand of this plebeian relative of aris-
tocracy is not content with exposing the
heirlooms of the royal family as frauds,
and desecrating sacred traditions. He
actually declares that Queen Lavinia is not
queen at all, not even Westerveldt and
Hollander, but only plain. unadorned,
Hibernian Lavinia H. Dempsey. And this
is surely high treason, ranker than beef
with commission in the Army.
1t is difficult to see. however what can
be done about it. II Queen Lavinia were
monarch of the Middle Ages, with re-
tainers to whom she could cry. What no,
sirrah, Destroy me this insolent knavei"
1t would be very dangerous for Mr.. Demp-
sey but this is the nineteenth century,
and it is about as prosaic as Demp-
seys name. The moral seems to be that
a person who undertakes to set up
monarchy with all the trimmings on the
strength OF illustrious descent from a lcng
line OF noble Holianders from Tipperary
cannot expect TO be free from the vicissi-
tudes of life that commoner mortals are
subject to.
