In the excitement attending what
Mrs. Mary Conley and her husband
had hoped would be their last jour
ney, to die among the friends from
whom they had parted forty years
ago, the savings of lifetime Of the
old couple, amounting to $3.50,
were sold inadvertently to a rag
dealer for eleven cents.
They had saved $4,000 and raised
81, 900 by mortgaging their home.
Tickets to Australia had been
bought for $245 and the household
goods packed. The wife placed the
money in a bit of cloth and hid it
among lot of rags, During her alb
sence a rag dealer appeared, and,
Conley not knowing the where
abouts of the money, sold the whole
lot Of rags for eleven cents. OF the
money, S1,020 was in gold, the re-
mainder in bills,--N. Y, Times.
An associated press dispatch
from Chicago says;
at is thought the rag man is on

many, and that recovery of the
money is doubtful. The police
learned that ]. Feldman, rag
dealer, had become POSSESSED of a
large sum OF money on Feb. 2l, The
money was in bills of various de-
Inomlnations, and IS, SO and S2C
gold pieces. Being unable to count
the money it is said be called in a
lpuignpr who summed it up as
$500 Feldman then left for Eur
ope and although a telegram wa,
sent New York TO detain him. II /.
believed that he had too great I
start and is now on the ocean.

Almost every part of the globe is
represented in Scribner' 5 Magazine
for March, and in every case by
some we'll known writer who has
actually visited the country which
he describes. Four of the contrib
utors are distinguished correspond
ents who have had many romantic
experiences. Their articles in
this number have something to do
rwith the changing conditions
sbrought about by recent upheav-
ais.
R. II. Davis leads the number
with an account of journey Along
the East Coast of Africa, stopping
at those strange, half baroaric and
half civilized ports that mark the
fringe of the progress in Africa
From Lorenzo Marquee to Tango,
Mr.. Davis found it one OF the most
entertaining journeys he had ever
taken, each town representing d
phase in the great international
problem of the conquest of Africa
The article is full of delightful
character sketches of the restless
men who are taking part in the be-
qinpings of the Empires and
States.

EX-SENATOR EVARTS.
Distinguished New York Lawyer
Dead at 80 Years.

William M. Evarts died at his
home in New York Thursday. He
was probably the greatest lawyer
of his time, though in recent years
age had enfeebled him. He was SO
years of age. He was attorney
general for the United States from
1863 to the close of President John
son S administration, and was coun
sci for the United States in the Ala
bama claims before the Tribunal of
Arbitration atGeneva, Switzerland.
He is especially remembered by the
law fraternity for his long fight as
counsel for Henry Ward Beecher,
in the famous case brought against
that divine by Theodore Tilton, the
trial of which lasted six months,
In the impeachment proceedings
against Johnson he represented the
defendant. He was widely known
as an orator and addresses made
by him on numerous state occasions
have come to be regarded as ora
torical classics He was United
States Senator Secretary of State
under President Hayes and served
in numerous other official capaci
ties during his long career.
