WHY LINCOLN QUIT.

critical attitude which Secretary Sc

Young gentlemen. excuse me for

was tedious and lons-vind'd and the
President was anxious to set back TO
the public business which demanded
his attention. Finally. seeing no pros

DUG UP TREASURE SHIP.


ish Troops.
Ten thousand English sovereigns,
after lying for nearly a century and a
quarter in an old hulk at the bottom Of
East bay, Lake Champlain says Ben
nington (Vt.) dispatch. have been re-
covered and are now deposited In the
Allen National bank in Fairhaven For
many years there had been tradition
in this part Of the state that at the bot
tom of East bay, near Carver's Falls,
was sunken boat containing large
amount of English gold. with which it
WAS intended to pay off the troops Of
General Burgoyne in 177771.
The gold was Slipped from Quebec in
a small sloop with crew and guard of
:. i men, the expedition being under
the c"",mand of one Captain Johnson.
I, Is Intended to deliver the money
to Burg0yne at Ticonderoga. as his
I.e,i V Utmost in state of mutiny
because they had not been paid. At
Ticonderoga. however. Captain John
son found that Burgoyne was in pur-
suit of st. Clairs army In Vermont, so
he started for Skeensboro, now White
hall. intending to meet the general
there.
Learning that the American forces
had been defeated at Hubbardton and
We're in full retreat, he concluded to
change his course, go up East bay to
Carver'S Falls, near which was a
bridge that Burgoyne's army would
have to cross in order to reach Skeens-
boro. He anchored his boat within
sight of the falls and awaited Bur-
goyne's arrival. The vessel was at
tackled by Americans, scuttled and the
crew killed. After many years 1t was
learned that the English government
had offered reward for the arrest Of
Captain Johnson, who was supposed to
have run away with the treasure. Dur
ing the high water last spring the cur
rent was so strong that part of the
Accommodations over the hull was wash
ed away and portion Of the sloop ex-
posed to view.
A civil engineer, who drew the plans
and superintendent the construction Of
the big dam at Carver's Falls for an
electric power station, concluded that
he would investigate. Taking with him
about thirty men. he changed the
course of the stream and then with pick
and shovel soon had one side Of the
sloop free \ charge Of dynamite broke
up the hull. The timbers were found
in good condition. In the cabin were
found considerable glass and other
ware, fifteen muskets, much the worse
for their long immersion, and other
minor articles. An old iron chest was
discovered in the captains room. When
opened. it was found to contain 10000
sovereigns.

Thunder and Lightning.

DR.. Lyman Abbott recently telephon-
ed across New York city to have a suit
case previously left at his office sent
up to the West Forty-second street fer
ry to meet the train he intended to take
that afternoon to his home at Corn
WALTON the Hudson. The office boy
commissioned with the errand was
somewhat verdant and returned from
the Grand Central station with the in
formation that he could not find the
doctor. Whereupon telegram was
dispatched to Cornwall:
boy made blunder. L. "a SOM will
bring case by late train"
When the dispatch reached it's desti-
nation, it read whether through igno-
rance or humorous intent on the op-
orators part is unknown: boy made
thunder. Lightning will bring case by
late train"

TREATING

The Catholic Knights Of America
have taken official action against the
American habit Of treating. That is
step in the right direction and
should be followed by other societies.
Students of intemperance agree that
the treating custom is productive of
much harm and greatly increases the
temptation to drink. "Anti-treat"
societies have been formed in many
parts of the country and active meas
ures are being taken against the per.
nicious custom with good effect.
1t is easy to say that the effective
protection against an invitation to
rink is to "say no." Many persons
are not fortified by i'm raj sense Of
this kind. To some the refusal OF an
offer to drink Savors of discourteSy
and requires more courage than can
be mustered. Many man drinks
because Of the fear that he will be
considered holier. than thou sort Of
person.
Seldom does the German offer to
treat his friend. 1t is not the GUS
tom. Each takes his beer to a
table and each pays for the
same. In consequence there is little
drunkenness among the Germans.
But with Americans an invitation to
drink usually means not only com.
pliance but return of the compli.
ment. One drink calls for another
and intoxication follows. Practical
temperance reformers ought to en-.
courage the overthrow Of the treating
custt m.

THE SURPLUS.

Despite the war tax reduction the
surplus continues to pile up in the fed
eral easury. AS Col. Fred Grant once
remarked, "lJ is easier to handle a
surplus than a deficit" But a great
surplus Which locks up money which
ought to be distributed throughout
the country is always menace to
business. Secretary Gage was com.
PEELED to 60 into the market recently
and buy 2o,ooo,ooo worth of bonds,
paying 25 per cent premium therefor,
in order to relieve the pressure.
In a recent interview the secretary
of the treasury explains why the sur
plus continues to grow. The volume
of current business is so large that
the internal revenue receipts are
within 81, 900, 0cO a month Of what
they were before the revenue reduc.
tion Of last July. Coincident with
these large receipts the expenditures
of the government have decreased.
TT e country has gone from war
basis to peace footing. The decreas ,
in current expenses on this account
amounts to about IS, 900, 900 month.
The government is prosperous. 1t
is taking In much more money than it
is p iyng out But In LAYING up it's
Su, plus it il Withdrawing fr IN circu.

Here is additional opportL nifty for con-
gress to prom ole American trade by re.
moving customs duties not needed for
revenue, through reciprocal treaties, u.s.
ing this removal for fair trade in other
countries. Thus does the surplus tend
toward the occurring of wider expan.
sion Of American trade which was the
hope so ardt ntly expressed by Presi-
dent Mckinley in his Buffalo speech.

NEW SHORT STORIES
Carnegie Pays an Old Debt.

Carnegie Pays an Old Debt.
Who would not he a creditor Of Mr..
Andrew Carnegie?
An American firm doing business in
London recently asked Its patrons tG
suggest ideas for the distribution Of
Mr.. Carnegie's' wealth.
Mr.. Henry D. Lennon of Glasgow ad
vised that the millionaire repay a loan
Of II shillings made by his aunt to aid
the Carnegies to emigrate from Dun
fermline in lS47. Mr.. Lennox computed
that at compound interest 20 was due.
Mr.. Carnegie has investigated the
matter and found that Mr.. LennoX was
quite right in his claim. The debt will
not only be paid, but the children Of
Mrs. Lennox will be endowed with a
sum sufficient to keep them in comfort
as long as they live. MI. LennoX said
in his letter:
when the Carnegies left Dunferm
line, they were so poor that the mother
had to borrow money to take them to
the United States.
my aunt, though a poor woman her
self, helped them out to the extent OF
II shllings, but the promise to return
the loan evidently escaped the memory
of the benefciaries, because they never
repaid the sum borrowed.
"My aunt is dead, but she left two
daughters, one Of whom is the wife of
a humble joiner in Dunfermline, while
the other is a maiden lady engaged in
a small dYapery business in Edinburgh
"Don't you think that II Mr.. Carne-
gle knew this he would be willing to
do handsomely by his mothers
fuends!"
Mr. Carnegie called in person on the
children of his benefactor and thank
ed them for the generosity of their
mother.
From minus I 1 shillings to plus f70,
100000 is a financial transformation
that would have staggered the good
genie of Aladdin's lamp, but Mr.. Car
negie found it not overhard.-Iond
