WHAT A WAR WOULD PROVE.
ExiEencies That Might Arise II Eng
Iapd and France should
Fight.

In the event of war between Great
Britain and France the first and most
important part of the struggle would
be for the command of the sea, says
a writer in Nineteenth Century.
Should Great Britain succeed in re-
tanning the command of the sea
France would thereby be reduced to
condition of impotence so far as
offensive operations are concerned
and would sooner or later be obliged
to submit to the will of her rival, al
though, it is true, the war might last
for long time. If, son the other
hand, France should succeed in wrest-
ing from Great Britain the command
of the sea and in keeping it Great
Britain would be so much more help
less and impotent than France in
similar plight would be that the war
would terminate quickly.
In word, France, even without
the command of the sea or anything
approaching to it, remains capable of
prolonged resistance, firstly, because
she is self-supporting country; sec
ondly, because the French national
sentiment and strength are already
concentrated within her borders, and,
thirdly. because she stands among
the best equipped of the military
powers, while Great Britain, deprived
of the command of the sea, would
collapse with relative rapidity, first
ly, because she is in no sense a self
supporting country; secondly, be-
cause her national sentiment and
strength are scattered over the world
and cannot be concentrated save by
way of the sea, and thirdly, because
she is not military power, according
to the standard set up by Germany,
France, Russia and Austria Hungary.

SUFFERED FROM THE COLD.
One baltimore Girls Experience in
Southern CIime-Weather Not
What She Expected.

A foolish maio who went to Florida
to spend a couple of months left for
that cline with the idea that it was
one of perpetual sunshine, says the
Baltimore American. The Floridian
January she imagined was about of
the temperature of the Maryland
May, and so she left her flannels at
home and her furs, and took instead
number of cotton frocks and shirt
waists, and couple of straw hats
plentifully trimmed with roses.
OF course, she had tailor gown, a
silk blouse and the velvet hat she
wore when travelling. If she hadn't
had these she would probably have
been dead of pneumonia before now.
AS it was. she lived in them for
nearly week, or until the telegram
she had sent home brought re-
sponse.
The telegram was curt and to the
point. 1t said;
"Send furs, fannels, velvet frock, heavy
hats and shirt waists, Immediately.
NELLIE"
Hereafter, the traveller says, though
she be about to take up her residence
under the equator, she will carry
plentiful supply of warm garments
in her trousseau. For if there is any
thing that is really infuriating, she
declares, it is to nearly freeze to
death IN a supposedly warm cline
while clothed in the height of sum
mer fashion, when one might be so
much more comfortable in ones own
steam-heated house in Baltimore.

UNCLAIMED FORTUNES.
Large Amounts of Money That Are
Awaiting Claimants In the
London Courts.

A large number of heirs to consid-
cradle sums of money left by deced lent Is
during the last year have not yet been
located, says London exchange. To
mention a few out of the many still
sought, it may be stated that the next
of kin of Baron de Gavedell Geanny,
who died at Pisa in 1S42, are sought. and
there is lot of money waiting for the
missing heirs of Joseph Sullivan. for
merly of Cork and late of San Fran
cisco.
Six thousands pounds sterling await
James Il. Higgins or his children. He
was last heard of in New York and be-
yond that the veil seems impenetrable.
y dying mother left her child, named
Robert Purkis, in the care of friends
years ago. There is money for that
child if he can only be found.
Doncaster race meeting in 1854
saw the last of w. j. Clarkson, so far as
is known. Money awaits him now.
AS far back as 1889 Peter Sullivan
lived in Waterford. In 1900 the court of
chancery is looking for his descend
ants.
Scarcely less curious than the long
list of missing persons is the table show
ing the strange resurrection of long
lost companies.
For instance, the West New Jersey
society has paid no dividend on its
stock since 1892, but representatives of
the shareholders are now being sought.
There are shareholders in the Waterloo
Bridge company whose addresses are
unknowp who are entitled to funds.

collier named Finnet had IL teeth ex-

OAKLEY'S MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Suicide Theory Discredited -Sensa
tional Developments.

GlOudl OONCAOpluCuIS'
FRANKLIN, Tenn, March 29.-The
finding of the skeleton near Forest
Home and the Identification of the same
as the remains of John Oakley, of Nash
Vile, who mysteriously disappeared
from his home in July, 1893, has caused
a renewal of excitement in that neigh
borhood and set many ugly rumors
The suicide theory is not credited, and
it is generally believed that he was
murdered.
1t has been clearly established that
when be was last seen he had between
300 and $500 in money on his person
When the remains were found only 50 70
was discovered
One of the rumors is of a very sensa
tional nature, involving the name of a
family who at that time lived near the
scene, and hayward daughter of the
household: handsome, vivacious and an
acquaintance Of the unfortunate man.
| The girl had been resident of Nash
vile and on her return to her country
home had been known to receive visits
from her city friends. The home was
in lonely spot, and one where it would
take far reaching imagination to sug-
gest that a stranger would have come SO
far to commit deed of self destruction
The woods where the bleached bones
were discovered by ginseng digger was
of dense growth, rarely, if ever, ira
versed by human beings, and many
think that he met his death elsewhere
and that the body was brought and
placed where it was found, to conceal
crime.
The wound in the forehead indicates
that the range of the bullet was dow nwarC
and lodged in the base of the skull. A
remarkable feature is that the bullet die
not go through the head, as it would
have done had he fired the shot himself
His two brothers, accompanied by
four friends of the deceased, were here
yesterd and carried the skeleton anC
clothing to Nashville. His brother
stated that a thorough investigation o
the rumors would be made at once, anC
every effort would be used to solve the
m, stery that now shrouds the tragic enc
of his brother.

reached and entered the sick womans
room, and, motioning away the hired
nudse, dropped upon her knees by the
bedside. Louise, Gamer under the Opt
ates administered by the doctor, re-
garded her as she might have one de-
scended from the clouds. Something
like spasm of fear passed over her, for
in the lovely face beside her she seemed
to see the image of her own youth re-
peated.
"Who are you?" she asked, wildly.
"Your friend. Don't excite your
self"
Your name? your name?"
'Frances Brookin! And, oh, am so
sorry for you, so very sorry" Louise
seemed to have heard only the name,
which she repeated softly, wonder
ingly.

not Virg1nian, and the hour awoke
