they arc | see themn The mother
came running out at his cry, and to-
getler they saw their two children
standing hand in hand far away in the

that had not been there before. Let
US follow Them said the mother, and
together they rose into the deepening
twilight and fed after their children.
But Piri and NokO, far off in the
sky, saw their parents coming and,
thinking they were angry, sped away
toward the western horizon. The par
ents followed, and when they reached
the highway of Tame that god of light
changed them into stars. And now,
when the night is clear, you may see
two little twin stars flying away to-

ANXIOUS TO SEE
SECRET CHAMBER
Place Where Miss Van Lew Hid Fed
eraI Officers During War
Sought by Curious.
AT BERRY's,
Main and nth Streets.

Since it has become known that the
secret chamber in the old mansion IL
which Miss Van Lew hid Federal eff @efs
who escaped from Libby Prison during
the Civil War has been discovered, many
persons have visited the historic olp
house, hoping to be permitted to see the
mysterious apartment. Only a few nave
been granted the privilege, and these had
some good reasons for wishing to visit
the chamber.
Mrs Nichols, Of Philadelphia, niece
of the late Miss Van Lew, and ore OF her
heirs who has been at the mansion win
her son for several weeks, first learnsd
Of the whereabouts of the mysterious
room through a visit paid to the house
by a northern banker during the con-
vention of the American Bankers Asso-
citation in this city a few weeks since.
This gentleman, after going through tee
grounds, requested earnestly to be taken
in the house He went carefully through
each room, asking to be taken still fur
ther, until, reaching the top story, he
turned to his guide and said:
Here I passed fourteen days during
the war
He then pointed to a panel in the wall
about eighteen inches wide, just sufficient
for a mans body to squeeze through, and
continued:
Beyond is a chamber which will con-
ceal at least fifty men in an emergency.
THE SECRET CHAMBER.
This apartment is situated under the
caves of the broad portico. which ex. ends
all the way along tie southern portion Of
the house. II is reached through L pas
sage not more than two feet square. and
there is no light anywhere. The passage
opens into a small. narrow room. IN the
southwest corner of the third story, and
the door was so arranged that il was
almost impossible to detect that it COW
cred an opening in the wall.
Another interesting thing in connection
with the old mansion is the fact that iron
ornaments decorate the room (used as q
library after t[le manner of old-fashioned
andirons. One OF these ornaments is
detached and followed out, closing like q
small jewel-case This was her receptacle
for private dispatches and plans until
they could be sent away.
A very interesting thing is said
to have been asserted by a relative Of
Miss Van Lew. She is said to have noticed
that after each meal Miss Van Lew would
prepare a number of plates of food She
once asked what she was going to do
with them and replied: '.They are for the
CATS
Her curiosity was aroused and she fol-
lowed Miss Van Lew on one occasion she
saw her open the little door and hand the
food in to q man., whom she had never
seen before.

RICE WAS POISONED.
Chemical Analysis of Stomach Dis
closed Mercury and Arsenic.

lI,y Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, Oct. 2I.-Prof. Witthaus in
his chemical analysis of the stomach of
William AZ Rice, reports that he found
mercury and arsenic in the stomach.
The report says: The intestines We're
found to contain both arsenic and mer-
curry. The quantity of arsenic present has
not been determined. The quantity of mer-
curry present in the sample examined was
found to be .OoS6 gram in $50 grains of It's
sue, equivalent to seventeen one thous-
andths grains per ounce of $50 grams.
The kidney contained arsenic and mer-
curry also. The quantity Of arsenic has
not been determined. The quantity Of
mercury present in the sample examined
was found to be OoOS1 grams in l61 grams
of tissue. equivalent to .02S grains per
ounce.
Il would infer that the very small
quantity of mercury found in the stomach
and the relatively large amount found in
the intestines. and particularly in the kid
neys, that that metal in some form Of
soluble combination had been introduced
into the body during the life Of the deceas-
ed. probably hours, probably days before
his death.
