HUNTING HIDDEN TREASURE.
Mysterious Search for Buried Gold
and Silver in Deserted Mich
igan village.

Those with taste for hunting hid
den treasure will be interestedin know
ing that somewhere on the site of the
deserted village of Bertrand, four miles
south of Niles, Mich, is buried full
bushel of gold and silver coins. The
treasure was the property of Joseph
Bertrand, the early and prosperous
French trader who founded Bertrand.
The gold and silver was realized
through the sale of part of his land.
Fear of being robbed induced Mr..
Bertrand to bury the money, and he
Immediately proceeded to forget the
place of interment. During the few re-
naming years of his life be was unable
to recall the spot where he consigned
the treasure, though he believed it to be
under an apple tree in the orchard.
Like the NEUROLOGICAL treasure of Capt
Kidd, Joseph Bertrand's fortune has
been sought for by hundreds of people.
Every foot of the ground in the o,d
orchard has been upturned, and all the
magic devices known have been pressed
into use to locate the burial place OF
the gold and, silver. But it still remains
in its place of concealment, defying the
persistent efforts of searchers. The
fortune is not myth, but was actually
buried by Mr.. Bertrand, and there are
witnesses of this fact still living to
day. 1t amounts to thousands of dol.
lars, and perhaps some day it may be
found.

WILL GET ENGLISH HUSBANDS.
Two American Girls Being Made
Much of by Ducsl Society in
Scotland. -

The warmth with which two Ameri-
can heiresses, Miss Ogden-Goelet and
Miss Astor, have been welcomed in
ducal society in Scotland has given rise
to considerable speculation from a mat
rinoniai point of view. They have been
feted and petted TO an extraordinary de-
gree. The Buccleugh and Roxburghe
families have both been paying them
noticeable attention, and it seems pref
ty well understood that the young
duke of Roxburghe will ask for Miss
Astor's hand. The duke, who is the
eighth of his line, was born in 1876 and
succeeded his father In 1892. His name
is Henry John Innes-Ker, and he is
lieutenant in the royal horse guards.
Miss Astor is staying at Floors castle,
Kelso, Roxburghshire, the ancestral
home of the Roxburghes on the bor-
der, and it is not unlikely that she will
make her debut at court as a peeress.

"The lost and delicious leisure of ths olden
time. Adam Bede.
Leisure is dead. All, dear old leisurel
Merciless hurry reigns in his place,
Striving for gain is our only pleasure,
Gold is the prize of our life's mad race.
Sit and think-at your peril you do it
Scurry and hustle and bang and crashl
Wasting your time-that's the way they view it,
Everything's folly but gathering cash.
An hour Al your dinner! 'Tis shameful, shame

Gobble it down, such dawdling is blameful.
You should be making an extra dime.
Oh, for the days of the sweet maid spinning,
Kettle humning on open hearth.
Ere all this artifice knew beginning,
Dear old days of our nations birth.
Days when the slow old coaches, crawling,
Gave chance to enjoy the scene.
(Now we fly with a speed appalling.
Nothing we see but blur of green.)
Fine old inns by the road inviting,
Smoked and soaked with an honest cheer.
None of your rooms all paint and whiting,
Chill and cold with electric glare.
Sweet old games in the candies glimmer,
Corners dim where we loved to sit.
Brighter our lights, but our joys are DINNER

Not just skinny box to sleep in

Good old parsons with good old sermons,
Slow, but sure in the narrow way.

Letters were letters in days of old
Written lengthily heartily, brightly.

LOCATED IN AFRICA.
Real Garden of Eden Said to Have
Been Discovered.
Has Three Essential Requirements to
BE the Spot Where the Human
Race First Had Its
HabitatiOn.

Some months ago an account was
given of Maj. Seton Karr's last explora-
tion of Somaliland, which convinced
him he had discovered the real Garden
of Eden. Maj. Karr is now on his way
from Alden further to examine the
locality, and prove thoroughly that
his view is correct.
Writing to the London Times, Mr..
Markham Adams brings forward sew
eral arguments to support Maj. Karr.
As long ago as 1890 Mr.. Adams sug-
gested, not, indeed, Maj. Karr's exact
part of Somaliland, but the immediate
adjoining plateau of Central Africa. as
the cradle of the human race. He then
pointed out:
"The territory of Eden was not a dis
trict through which four rivers had
their full course, but was essentially
a watershed containing single river
and four heads And, thus it exactly
corresponds with the great basin of
Central Africa, containing the single
river, the Shari, together with the
heads of the four great rivers, the
Zambesi, Niger, Nile and Congo, as
described by Mr.. Stanley in his paper
before the Berlin conference.
"Again, the garden was not identical
with Eden itself, with which it is so
frequently confounded, but was situ-
ated in the eastern part of it, and thus
exactly corresponds with the magnifi-
cent paradise or park, covering 5000
square miles of the most gloriously
beautiful lands in the world full of all
kinds of animal life, which the same
author (Stanley) describes as beheld
from the rocky eminences which lie
to the eastward of the central basin.
Among all the innumerable pre-
lenses at identification, in how many
are these three simple, but absolutely
essential, features, the single river, the
watershed, verrecognized,f far less full
filled? Nor are the minor character
istics less obviously satisfied"

IT is OVERBURDENED
Opinion of w. A. Roebling, Who
Built Brooklyn Bridge.
Weights Which the Structure Was
Never Expected to Bear Have
Been Gradually Added Until the
Climax Has Been Reached.

W. A. Roebling, the engineer who
built the Brooklyn bridge, says heavier
loads are placed upon the bridge than
should be. In letter to the Railroad
Gazette Mr.. Roebling says:
''In the beginning neither elevated
trains run by locomotives nor electric
roads were thought of. When the
bridge was half finished the elevated
road demanded the right of way and
shortly after it's completion the elee-
trio road also pressed for recognition.
In 1880 some of the bridge trustees in
sisted that 1 should adapt the bridge
for the passage of elevated locomotive
trains. yielded with reluctance and
against my better judgment.
But the crying evil of the bridge,
is that every year since it has been
opened to traffic there have been nu-
merous additions to the dead load,
small in themselves, but large in the
aggregate. They amount to fully Is
per cent, if not more, all of which
must be multiplied by factor of ten
sion of ITO, and is intensified by being
carried chiefly by the two middle
cables. They comprise, for example,
telegraph cables and wires, pneumatic
tubes, double lines of rails, fastenings,
sheaves and ropes, trolley wires with
extra heavy supporting brackets,
heavy rails for trolley cars, heavier
planking, electric light stands, etc.
"The climax of overlooking was
reached when the trolley took posses
sion of the roadways, and began to run
in defiance of all stipulation as regards
weight of cars or distance apart.
what is needed at present is re
calculation of the loads and weights OF
the bridge, so as to determine the
present margin of safety in the main
parts of the structure, such as cables
and anchorages. 1 have no fear of the
cables. They still have ample strength
and could pull up the anchorage with
ease"
Bridge Commissioner John L. Shea
when shown Engineer Roebling's letter
said: Engineers have thoroughly
gone over the subject and reported
that there is not the slightest dan
ger"

NOW AN AMBASSADOR.
MexicO's Minister to United States
Raised to Rank of Ambassador-
United States Follows Suit.

Mexico has raised her representative
in Washington to the rank of ambas-
sador, and this will result in the i'm
mediate promotion of Powell Clayton,
of Arkansas, now minister to Mexico.
The embassies in Washington are now
those from Great Britain, Italy, Ger
many, France, Russia and Mexico, and
Turkey and Austria are expected soon
to raise their ministers to the rank of
ambassadors This action from diplo-
matte point of view is taken to be in
dicative of the new importance of the
United States, as ambassadors are only
accredited to what the diplomats call
"first-class' countries.

MAINTAINS HER LEAD.
Trade of United States with Guate-
mala Exceeds That of Great
Britain or Germany.

Mr.. Beaupre, consul-general at Guate-
mala, in his annual report to the state
department, says that the United States
has maintained her lead in imports into
Guatemala during the past year, and in
some important lines the gain has been
most gratifying. With Great Britain
and Germany she practically controls
the foreign trade of Guatemala. He
says that the bulk of United States
goods is too good for this market. They
should be made to sell cheaply, but
should be snowy with colors and tinsel.
Most of the graniteware comes from
Germany, because of the low price; but
It is so light and cheap that it cannot
last long.

reports state that $4,000 acres of ripe
grain were destroyed.
AT Gardiner, in this county, tn,
path of the storm was 10 TO IL miles
wide, and the loss is from 10 to 30 per

storm in this state was about 10 miles
before it passed into Minnesota
Much damage was done by the wind
and rain in addition to the hail Re-
ports lost increase and may be 100, OOC
In North Dakota. Very conservative
estimates would make the loss so per

sofa losses in the valley seem equally
heavy.
More details make the hailstorm a
