Mironhoff will keep walking. It's a
question of endurance between his
sturdy legs and Mrs. Miranhoff's sturd-
Ter tongue with the odds all in favor of
the tongue lasting the longest.
MiranhOff, when a young man. went
with his family to V~ladivostok, on the
eastern coast of Siberia. There it was
apparently that the continual tongue
lashings of his wife became so violent
that Miranhoff decided to leave his
happy home. He started out on his wan
derings.
Finally he reached st. Petersburg after
waking over 5000 miles. But he was not
happy there. He decided to keep on
walking. He marched away across Rus
STA, tramping from town to town, until
finally HI had reached the Ural moun-
tains. He crossed these in winter, and,
descending into Siberia again, walked
southeast and climbed slowly up the
highlands to Tamir, the roof of the

The kidnapping of Mrs. Jennie June
Croly caused more than the victim an
unpleasant quarter of an hour. It
came near wrecling the peace of some
200 guests at the valentine reception
of the New York Woman's Press club
at the Hotel Manhattan. The whole

cabman, and cabby did the rest. He
drove straight to the Manhattan Ath-

in the center of a group of men and

Mrs. Croly amiably inquired for the
valentine reception, and nobody seemed
able to enlighten her. She wandered
on through corridors, in and out of
reception rooms, and was still in a
maze when the hdnaper suddenly re-

WOMAN CONVICTS MOLINEUX.
Miss Viola Roseboro, Says Mr.. Os-
borne, Mapped Out the Plans
of the Prosecution.

A woman convicted Roland Burnham
Molineux, according to Assistant
States Attorney Osborne, of New York.
She was not a witness, nor is she even
remotely connected with the case. But
she suggested to Assistant District At
torney James W. Osborne his line of
prosecution, the plan of his opening
speech, his method of proof.
This woman is Miss Viola Roseboro,
one of the editors of McClure's Maya
zine, and author of numerous short
stories published by the Century COM
pany.
It is not Miss Roseboro who makes
any such claim. Mr.. Osborne himself
voluntarily, for the purpose, as he said,
of giving credit where credit is due,
made the statement and asked that it
be published.

GIFT TO YALE UNIVERSITY.
Norris Steinert Presents His alu-
able CoIIection Of Musical
Instruments. 5si5

The has Just beenm made
that Morris Steinert, the musical deal
er,. of New Haven, Conn.,. had given his
valuable collection of old musical in
struments to Yale university, and that
the gift had been accepted by the uni
versity. The collection, which is con-
sidered one of the finest of It's kind in
the world, includes many rare speci-
mems purchased by Mr.. Steinert dur
ing his trip through Europe.
Mr.. Steinert has devoted the past 20
years to making the collection, with
the idea of preserving the nearly lost
relics of the early development in mu-
steal instruments. ras -,.ys. -@,. IL. b.
Foremost in Importance is a series
of old clavichords, harpsichords, ham
mer claviers and spinnets, showing the
development of. the modern piano
forte. Another set includes a large
number Of stringed instruments lead
ing up to the introduction of the vio-
lin. One of the most Interesting and
valuable pieces is a harpsichord by
klrkman, 1855, which once belonged
to Napoleon Bonaparte, and stood in
the drawing-room of his house in
Paris. After his Punishment to St.
Helena the harpsichord was given to
one of Napoleon's guards, and it was
from the relativesof this man that Mr..
Steinert purchased the instrument.
= Many original compositions of mas
tiers accompany the collection of in
strumentS, as well as Heyeral dozen
medieval missals or mass of books,
which Mr.. Steinert has secured. With
the gift came the condition that Yale
must furnish a suitable building for
the reception of the collection. It was
officially stated when the gift was an
nounced by the university that funds
for the necessary building had been
given, and that it would soon be. con-
structed. The name of the person who
gave the money for the building was
withheld by the university officials.

VICTIMS OF PARIS SHARPER
General and Mrs. Harrison Are
Robbed of Considerable
Sum of Money.

Ex-President Harrison has lust made
the discovery that he was the victim
OF sharper and forger while he was
in Paris last summer, and, while de-
cllning to say what amount of money
was secured by the thief, it is init
mated that it was very considerab BILE,
being dividends due Mrs. Harrison
from three or four sources.
According to the story that has be-
come current, Mr.. Harrison adopted
the custom of nearly all wealthy visi-
tors to Paris and secured the services
OF young man, who came to him
with the best of references. The valet
had the run of the ex-president's
apartments and enjoyed the fullest
possible confidence both of Gen. and
Mrs. Harrison.
One day the general missed his
pocketbook containing several hun
dred dollars, and he now thinks the
valet appropriated the money. About
the same time Mrs. Harrison was ex-
pecting some drafts from this coun-
try on account of dividends on stocks
that she had ordered to be RENTED
to her at Paris. The drafts failed to
reach her. When she reached home
she made inquiries and found that the
drafts had been sent to her at Paris,
and that they had been paid and her
Endorsement was upon them. The sig
nature was clever imitation of her,
and it is now believed that the gentle
manly valet was the forger.

COMM ERGE OF LAKES.
Vast Extent of Traffic Between Buff
falo, Duluth and Chicago
Shown by Statistics of operation OF
Sault Ste. Marie Canal-The Total
Freight Passing Through In
1899 Was 25,255,slO Tons. s.=s

A suggestion of the extent of the
commerce of the great inland sea
stretching from Buffalo to Chicago and
Duluth, known as the great lakes, is
supplied by some figures which have
just reached the treasury bureau of
statistics, showing the details the
commerce passing through the Sau1t
Ste. Marie canal
The commerce passing through the
canal registers accurately the move
ment between Lake Superior, pene-
trating the wheat and iron producing
regions, and the chain of lakes, Mich
igan, Huron, Erie and Ontario, tribu-
tary to the corn, provision and coal
producing and iron manufacturing re-
glons. 1t is the gateway through
which the wheat, oats, flour, iron ore,
copper and lumber of Montana, the
Dakotas, Minnesota and northern
Wisconsin and Michigan move to the
consuming and manufacturing Sec
tions, while through the same gateway
move in the reverse direction the coal,
manufactures and miscellaneous mer-
chandise from Lake Erie and points
still further east.
1t is only by comparison of the fig
ures of 1899 with those of earlier years
that the Importance of this commerce
can be realized, especially as regards
it's rapid growth. The actual number
of passages through the canal-by
which is meant the total number of
vessels, counting each vessel as often
as it passed through the canal-was
2o,o55 during $780, against e,b7e in 1889,
having thus more than doubled during
that term. The total freight passing
through the canal in 1899 was 25,255,-
$40 tons, against but 7,516,o22 tons in
1889, showing that the freight has in
creased much more rapidly than the
number of vessels, thus Indicating in
some degree the rapid increase in the
size and capacity of the freight carry
ing vessels of the great lakes. The de-
velopment of grain production of the
extreme mort Invest during the decade
is indicated by the fact that the wheat
carried through the canal in 1899 was
5S.397,335 bushels, and in $780, 16,231,-
S54 bushels, while grain other than
wheat in 1899 was 3O,O0O,935 bushels.
and in 1889 but 2,133,245 bushels.

Positive Identfficati ton Found to he
Impossible - Monument May he

Naval Hero. rs

! The proposition to exhume the bones
of Commodore. John Paul Jones and
bring them to this country for burial
must probably be abandoned. The
navy department at Washington has
received from Lieut.. William S. Sims,
naval attache to the United States en-
bassy in Paris, letter on the subject,
from which the following extract is
taken: ~
1T is the opinion of the ambassador
that the remains of John Paul Jones
are definitely located in the area clear
ly indicated in M. de Ricaudy's report,
but 1t appears to- be matter of con-
lecture as to whether the actual re-
mains of John Paul Jones could be
identified. This would depend on
whether or not he was buried in such
a manner that his remains would be
preserved, and particularly whether
his coffin bore any inscription, and
whether he was buried in a uniform.
or with sword or some emblem of
his former grade.

M. De Ricaudy and his success in pre-
vious researches, particularly that in
locating the body of Turgot, it is safe
to conclude that the statements con-
tanned in the report can, as he saws,
be thoroughly authenticated.
1t was by reason of this uncertainty

Ricaudy suggested the advisabilitv of
acquiring part or all of the area for

after clearing it of the inconsiderable
structures which now cover it to make

An effort will now be made to have

property in Paris and the erection of
monument thereon.
