Gle, who cali themselves the spirit seek

A Curious Annuity offered.

Washington Correspondent of the New
York Tribune.
If the state of Iowa had accepted the
proposition made by James B. Edmonds
twelve years ago the Hawkeye treasury
would have been richer to-day by some
$2SOOO Mr.. Edmonds died in Washington
last week. He was a citizen of Iowa, and
when he made his novel proposition had
accumulated a fortune sufficiently large
to make him feel shat he could retire
from business and live i'm ease for the re-
mainder of his life in the national capital
Through the Legislature at Des Moines
he offered to turn over to the state SlVO-
COO in cash or gilt edged securities, in re-
turn for which the state of Iowa was TO
pay him in monthly instruments every
year for the rest of his life the sum OF
5000. His proposition was a factor III
lowe politics for several years, and finally
was rejected. 1t is easily demonstrated
that even if Iowa had put the $4,000 TO
no use, but merely had kept it in the
treasury vaults, the state still would
have made clear profit of $2S,OO0 on the
transaction.

tons revoits and strikes in various quar-
tiers of the globe. AS a rule. they may

To the lay mind it might appear to be
a somewhat hazardous undertaking to fix
coming events with the definiteness that
old Moore does. In his almanac this
year he has located certain events in GER
tain specific months, and if his prophecy
in relation to January doesn't pan out he
is likely to find his reputa ton as a proph-
ct seriously impaired. II will be seen that
the almanac maker reverts to India again
and another famine is to trouble that
country. Since the Irish have always
been uneasy under British domination, il.
was comparatively safe for "Old Moore"
TO predict that Ireland would rebel against
England. Men familiar with the Indian
situation, who make no pretensions as
prophets. who have no clearer sight than
officers in the British army have been
talking for some time about the posi-
bility of an Indian revolt, so that "Old
Moore cannot pretend that this predic-
ton is altogether original with him
The prophecy about the diplomacy Of
Holland is, perhaps, as interesting as any
OF old Moore's" representations, and
the reports from London are that Eng
hshmen are not a little interested in this
statement. 1t Is easy to imagine tha;

dation, and surmounted with brickwork.
Any observer may see other parts of the
foundations, now that the trench is still
open. With regard to another part of the
city, the trench opposite to st. Dunstan
Fleet-st, has had to be cut through stone
wall, which may have been either part
of the foundations of an ancient church
or simply a cellar. The telephone eXca-
vations have shown two things-that Lon
don is simply standing upon one vast
graveyard and innumerable cellars. Wher-
ever the trenches have gone human re-
mains have been thrown up They are,
in fact, as common as the dirt in which
they lie. Anticipating public feeling on
the matter, the Postoffice authorities have
given strict injunctions that the remains
shall be buried on the spot from which
they are taken, and the work is closely
supervised, in order that these injunctions
shall be carried out to the letter. The
innumera bic cellars which are constantly
being unearthed prove TO be serious diff
culties in the way of progress. For the
most part these cellars have been disused
for years. They are ancient in the char
acter of their architecture and most of
them come very near the surface of the
road.

Chief Wilkie of the secret service has
received a telegram announcing the ar

men is so out of the ordinary as to merit
attention.
Last week a workman high up on the

noticed two men at work in the back room
of building some distance away from
the postofiice. Occasionally one of the
men went to a window and carefully
looked at an object in his hand. The work.

short talks and prayers, seemed to be
about the same as those of any negro
congregation, and | was preparing to
make my escape when an old cotton head

He sang in wailing minor key that went

through with the first stanza, could feel
The tension in the atmosphere. When he
finally ceased Scott himself jumped up and
began to intone another hymn-a typical
negro composition, with the refrain:
An de sinner is burnin' in de pitt
He droned each verse in a thrilling I'M
dertone that was almost a whisper, every
body joining. but when he came to the
climax he suddenly Strengthened up and
rolled out the refrain like a clap of thun-
der. The effect was electrical and in five
minutes half the congregation was on the
verge of Mysteries. Then followed the
most remarkable part of the whole per-
Torrance. AS the hymn died down Scott
set up a sort of chant. AS nearly is I
could make out he simply repeated the
words Oh! Lawdl Oh-h-hr at the same
time swaying his body back and forth;
but all the negroes took it up and the
monotonous reiteratiou had a strange,
mournful cadency that reminded me some
how of the breaking of waves at sea.
Whether it was some peculiar quality in
the voice Of the leaders or the weird sur
roundings or mere cumulative excitement
| can't say; but the chant soon had every
body under its spell. Some of the darkies
fell back. staring and rigid, Nike catalep-

interesting finds of old London would be
made. This has proved to be the case. In
trench opened on the south side of St.

bones has been turned up. but they consist
chiefly of thigh and arm bones, scarcely
recognizable as having been human at
all. These human remains however, are

Harry Glaciers Excellent Produce
tfon of Three Musketeers.
Mr.. Harry Glazier appeared in Savan-
nah for the first time as a star last
night and his acting and the reception ac-
corded him would augur that he has
something of career before him. He
was seen as that delightful swashbuckler
teers."
The version is different from that
played here last season by Mr. James
O'Neill. It is more like that which
Salvini played and probably followed the
story more closely in an historical way.
Mr.. Glazier has the advantage of youth,
therefore he looks the part of DArtag-
nan. the fearless. impetuous and rollick-
ing Gascon. His reading was excellent
and his acting finished. while he is a
very fair swordsman, quite a necessary
qualification for the role. for he kills a
man on an average of once every five
minutes.
Miss de Vernon. who was Miladi,
was playing under quite dis
advantage and it was only with
much effort that she appeared at
all Her throat was in very bad condi-
rion. as was apparent to the audience,
whose sympathy she had, for her ability
was recognized even as II was.
Miss Stoddard made queenly Anne OF
Austria and impaired to the role that
strength of manner and womanly charm
that is looked for.
Mr.. Barrett's Richelieu was good. as
was the Porthos. Athos and Aramis Of
Messrs. Lingham, Nelson and Ingraham.
Mr.. LoriIner as Louis XIII was capable
and Miss Campbell made charming Con-
stance.
The play was staged wen and splendid

and again tonight the performance will
be repeated.
