dations and suggestions relating to the
keeping of accounts of removed cases,
trial balances and statements to the
Board of Commissioners, and also in
regard to the affairs and management
of the almshouse, but the most impor-
tant change is the recommendation
that the present practice of paying of
the county's debts by issuing certifi-
cates TO be provided for in some future
levy, be discontinued. On this impor-
taut point the committee says: From
the standpoint of the county it is i'm
possible to make as advantageous n
contract with the party dealing with
it, and when they are compelled to
take in payment for their indebted
ness an obligation of the county pay
'.ble year or more in advance, and
which, under the present law, is not
negotiable, and in the opinion of your
committee, the county is often COM
PEELED to pay much larger prices for
what they receive in this way. 1t is
equally unfair to the party dealing
with the county to have to take in
payment for his Indebtedness an obi
cation from which he can derive no
benefit for so long a period.
The new treasury law contemplated
that by the present method of collect
ing taxes the affairs of the county
would be placed on a cash basis, and
in order to do so it is only necessary
for slight increase in the tax rate for
one year or so, or it could be provided
for by the county borrowing for a
short period, funds to pay claims as
presented, and in the end, after this
method is adopted, would save a large
amount of interest now paid by the
county on the certificates so issued.

every one. 1t offers attractive feat

the enterprise is yet in its infancy. 1t

Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, and
John Hanson, president of the Con-
tinental Congress, as being entitled
by reason of their eminent services to
be commemorated in bronze or marble
in the statuary Hall in the capitol of
Washington. Under this resolution
a commission was appointed and after
thorough search they have awarded
the contract for the statues and work
on them is now progressing. There
is now an effort being made to have
John Eager Howard substituted in
place of John Hanson aud large dele
cations are besieging the Legislature
both pro and con. 1t strikes us that
this action in attempting to displace
John Hanson at this late date, is ill
timed since the matter was thorough
~ investigated and passed upon two
years ago, and the work actually COLL
menced. We do not wish to detract
from the greatness of anyone more es-
pecially, the illustrious Howard, but
it strikes US that the matter cannot
now legally, and should not from a
moral standpoint be re-opened.

How Lawton Clothed His Men.

tFTom the indianapolis PreSs.)
This story was told by Colonel Dorst,
adjutaHt general Of the Seventh Army
Corps. who served with LawtOR in his In
dians campaigns in the far West: On one
an uprising Of redskins and a general mas
sacre seemed imminent in the sparsely set
tied region that fringed the outskirts Of
civilization a long distance beyond the
camp. The soldiers were almost devoid Of
shoes. underwear, and overcoats. and
march while they were in that condition was
impossible. Lawton was quartermaster OF
the camp. The commanding officer was in
an awful dilemma when LawtOn came TO
him with a request for a leave of absence
for five days, promising to have the sup
plies in camp by that time. His superiOrs
ridiculed the idea. but leave OF absence
was granted. Fifty miles from the camp
was the terminus Of new railroad which
had been built from Omaha. He travelled
the fifty miles overland and covered the
remainder Of the distance to Omaha-Of $50
miles-by rail. On the way he engaged
teams Of oxen to wait at the terminus until
he returned. When he arrived at OmOha
he found he could not get the OveTcCats
there and he promptly sent rush order
10 Chicago for them. The underwear and
shoes he purchased in Omaha. Before the
expiration of the five days he returned TO
camp with the supplies and all Of the old
army officers agreed that II was the most
remarkable feat of equipping a regiment on

so diligently They had known that the
mines existed and that they had been one
great source Of wealth 10 Cleopatra as well
as to the rulers that had preceded her
upon the Egyptian throne. The disappear
ance of these mines must have been most
mysterious TO them and the fact that they
had erected one of their largest barracks
almost on the site of one of the buried
mines adds a touch of romance 10 the
story that is scarcely credible.
In addition to the large quantity OF en-
eralds that Mr. Streeter expects 10 mine he
believes that he shall find some rare speci-
mems OF beryl and other precious stones,
so that he is perfectly confident that he
will have no reason TO regret the hard bar
gain that the government has driven with
him.
At the present time there are emerald
mines in various parts of the world but
he richest are those of Columbia If his
tory is correct however, even these mines
are small when compared to the ancient
mines of Egypt from which the fair Cleo
Datra obtained the rare gems on which her
portrait was engraved and which she then
presented to ambassadors and others who
found favor in her sight.
Romantic as such a project may seem. 10
those who have long regarded the mines OF
Cleopatra as purely traditional. basis Of
probability is given TO the scheme by the
fact that it was Mr.. Streeter who found and
developed the "Burmah ruby mines" With
the permission of the government, who
granted him the assistance of a military
force. Mr.. Streeter. accompanied by his
son, headed a most romantic expedition
into the interior of Burmah. The country
was developed by them at great personal
discomfort and even peril, for an organized
resistance was. made by the hill tribes.
Their success in Burmah, however, was
something phenomenal, and Mr.. Streeter
insists that he will achieve still greater
things during the five years in which he
will be permitted to carry on his work in

TRAvERs ACCUSED OF FRAUD.
The COrdage Trusts Serious Charges
Against It's Former President.

TRENTON. n. j.. Jan. 12.-Sensational
charges are set forth in the bill of COM
plant which has been filed in the Court
its president, Vincent p. Travers of New
York The bill was filed on January /, but
under orders it's contents were not made
public until yesterday.
Mr.. Travers is president of the Standard
Rope and Twine Company. which corpor-
alton asserts il has been defrauded by him
The bill of complaint makes Travers and
Charles Efros and the Eros Company Of
Bayonne defendants. The suit is brought
to recover a large sum of money. as we'll
as the title to valuable machinery and
patented devices.
Company failed and the Standard Rope and
Twine Company organized the cordage in
terests, was chosen as president at 4 salary
of $15,000 year.
The bill charges that TraveFS made a
proposition to the Standard Rope andTwine
Company to transfer to it secret process
for the coating and treatment of binder
twine with a solution of oil and other ma
terials. He was to have the process
patented, and to give to the Trust the ex-
elusive use of it, except that right to use
it in their own business should be reserved
by Travers Brothers of New York In re-
turn Travers was to receive % per
cent of the profits derived from the use of
the patented process.
TraveTs represented, /. is alleged that
the necessary machinery for the adoption
of the process could be put into the va
rious plants of the company at total cost
of s25 900, but later. it is further alleged,
represented that it would be cheaper to
place this machinery in a factory in Bay
onne than to have 1t established in all of
the company's plants.
Instead Of building factory for the Cord
age Trust, Travers is charged with having
caused the Charles Efros Company to be
organized, and with having bought for this
company a site, erected a mill, and sup
piled it with the necessary machinery.
Trayers, It is charged, owns all of the
