he hasn't money enough to spend, but
Mr.. James F. Burns Of Cripple Creek,
Col, is embarrassed for the very oppo-

keeps Mr.. Burns-Jimmie they call
him out West--busy devising ways to
get rid of his surplus revenue. He has
ever so much more money than he can
spend in any reasonable way His in
come is about $25, 900 a month, and,
being a bachelor with modest wants,
it can be seen that he is actually suf-
fering with a plethora Of cash.
Mr.. Burns is an agreeable, pleasant

President of the biggest gold mine in
the world, the Portland, Of which he Is
also chief owner. One month its out

OCEAN MYSTERIES.
SECRETS WELL GUARDED BY OLD
FATHER NEPTUNE.

FATHER NEPTUNE.
------
Vessels Which Have Sailed and Never heeh
Heard of-The Marie Celeste-An Ameri-
can Brig That Was lowed Into Port But
Her People Had All Disappeared.
When a well-found ship leaves port
and ia never afterwards heard from, 1t
Is nut down as a mystery of the sea.
When a dead body encased In an un-
identified life-j jacket is lifted up by the
sleepless surf and cast on the wave
worn beach, that too, is recorded as
mystery Of the deep, The waterlogged
raft with the stump of a distress sig
nal spar pointing mutely skyward; the
battered lifeboat with the oars drag
cling from the gunwales, and the acre
of boxes and barrels and beams and
planks floating silently on the white
crests, and in the dark hollows OF the
surging sea, these are likewise called
ocean mysteries. Sometimes these
marks Of shipwreck and death are
picked up by more fortunate craft and
are brought to port to be mysteries no
longer. But there are mysteries OF the
sea deeper than the plank, the crushed
lifeboat and the dead sailor. Man has
tried to fanthom them, hopelessly at
tempted to put two and two together
that he might get at the truth. Noun

There are greater secrets in Ola
Neptune's care than those OF the MISS
ing ship. The Naronic went away ana
never came back. So did the City or
Boston, City Of Glasgow, Erin, Alvo,
City of London, City of Limerick, Pres
ident, Pacific and score OF others.
Yet the disappearance OF these craft
are ordinary mysteries of the sea. "A
greater mystery still is when crew
abandons its ship and is never again
heard from, while the abandoned craft
is subsequently towed into port with
out giving the least trace OF those VINO
had been in charge of her.
Such q case was that of the Marie
Celeste, and it is as weird and uncanny
a tale as even the Ancient Mariner"
or the Flying buchanan" aspired to
be. The remarkable disappearance or
the Celeste's crew was made the sub
ject of an extensive investigation by
the State Department in Washington,
and 1t is from these records that the
particulars herein given were obtained.
The Marie Celeste was au American
brig of over 400 tons, and early in the
seventies left this port for Villefranche,
in the Mediterranean. Several months
after her departure she WAS toweo into
port as sound as a new coin, but her
people, numbering thirteen, including
the wife and child of the skipper. have
not been heard of from that day to this
The name of the captain Of the Marie
Celeste was Benjamin Briggs, and he
hailed from New England. In addition
to the little six-year-old daughter VINO

old. 1t had been his habit to take this
boy to sea with him, but on the event.
full trip in which he disappeared from
the face OF the globe, he left his son
behind. The latter has spent a small
fortune in trying to ascertain what
happened to his parents and the other
people of the brig after that vessel was
deserted; he knows as much now OF the
mystery as he did twenty years ago.

Blame once attached to men who
spoke
So frequently and at such length.
For verbiage is too oft the cloak
OF weakness rather than Of
strength.
But since the noise of battle shook
The sphere we tenant, through and

And sorrows rose whereer we'd look.
Apologies are surely due.
Oh, gentle, filibustering sprite,
No more your dullness you rehearse.
We once regarded you with fright,
We not confess things might be

While chasing Spain and watching
France,
Make haste to close the cannon'a

And g,Ye the orators Z chance.

Possibly she was right. though" he
said with a touch of tenderness in his

maybe she ought to get married at home.

FINED 500
Tedesky Said He Couldn't Get Justice
and Was Then Fined for Contempt

Joe Tedes6y, proprietor of a beer saloon
at the corner of Twenty-first street and
Avenue B, was fined 800 yesterday morn
ing for violating the Sunday law and af-
forwards fined SO for contempt of court
and sentenced to Jail for one hour
The arrest was made about o'clock
Sunday night by officers Cunningham and
Perdue, who claimed that Tedesky had
sold four bottles of beer to woman named
Lizzie Webb. Tedesky made bond and ap-
peared in court yesterday morning with a
number of witnesses protesting his inno-
cence. The case was tried under the
state law, and after hearing the evidence
Judge Feagin decided that the defendant
was guilty and fined him 800. Tedesky
then commenced mumbling something
which was hardly audible to the audience.
1t is said that he remarked, ''Well, L can't
get justice here"
Judge Feagin then told him he would fine
him $40 for contempt of court and also
sentence him to jail for an hour. Tedesky
was placed in the prison and served out
his sentence. At the expiration of his
time he again appeared in court and offer
ed an apology to the judge for his former
action. Upon hearing the apology Judge
Feagin RENTED the fine and discharged
the defendant.
