Waited ThIrty-Nine Years.

After waiting 80 years for settle
ment of his accounts as a soldier in
the war between the states, Edward
Knott, veteran of White Plains, N.
Y, lately received check for $25 from
the quartermaster's department. The
amount is the exact sum due him as
retained pay when he was mustered
out of the Fourth New Jersey volun-

was allowed. The money was retained
to offset any clothing account that
might be found against him in the
quartermaster's department.-N. Y.

WHERE KIDD's TREASURE IS.

What a perennial subject of public interest and curiosity Captain KihG's alleged hidden treasure is, The latest yarns about it are as tantalizinS as any former ones, in that. as before. they seem to tell something, without, in fact. telling anything. However. the clue this time is sufficient to work on.
 The Advertiser is in possession of an important part of the secret, which we now reveal for the first time. The treasure which the pirate hid. just be- fore he was hanged, more than 200 years ago, is in Boston harbor all right: but not on an island in the har- bor. It is buried about ten feet below the bottom of the present main ship channel It can be found by deepening and widening the channel: in accord ance with the plan which has been approved by the engineering experts representing the United States govern ment, by the Boston chamber of com merce, by the Boston Merchants asso- citation and by numerous other higE authorities hereabout.
 So surely as the proper excavations are made. that treasure will be discov- cred; or. if not. the citizens of Boston. and not they alone, but a great many other people. will share in financial benefits more than equal to all the treasure which the courageous and lar cenous Kidd is supposed to have buried. plus interest on the same from that time to the present, computed at per cent serni-annually-Bos Ad- vertiser.

important Ruling on Revenue Stamps

The question of what is to be done
with checks, drafts, ETC., which have
internal stamps printed upon them, has
been announced by Collector of Internal
Collector Willard Nail. Some time ago
it was said that all that would be nee
es.ary would be for the owners of these
checks and drafts to present them to the
local collector and he would redeem the
stamps and return them.
Several inquiries were made concern
ing this, ana Deputy Nail wrote to MIR.
Num-, asking for instructions. An an
swer was received this morning which
will prove quite shock to large holders
of these checks. Collector Num- SAYS
that in order TO redeem these checks it
will be necessary TO forward them TO the
office Of the Commissioner of internal
Revenue at Washington, and through
him the stamps will be redeemed. But
the checks Will not be returned on re
demption under any consideration. All
these checks aud drafts are to be held
in the commissioner Office.
W 18th regard to unattached stamps.
in order to have these redeemed, they
must be in quantities of 50 or more.
These must be wrapped and left with
the deputy collector at the custom
house, who will see that it is forwarded
or direct the holder how to proceed in
order 10 have his stamps redeemed

COMPROMISE Effected
In the Gases of A. B and a. NJ. Har
Ian VS.. Joe Chapman.

The cases of A. B. and A. NJ. Harlan
VS.. Joe Chapman, in the Chancery
Court, have been compromised. No
decree has yet been entered in court,
and the exact amount of the compro-
mise cannot be learned, although il
is vdriously stated, by outside parties,
that Chapman was given between
81, 800 and $40, 600 damages.
Sometime ago, when the phosphate
boom was in full sway, Chapman OBJ
tanned an option ON the Harlan prop.
erty, which contains valuable deposits
of phosphate, for a handsome figure.
Afterwards, however, it was found
that the property was of much more
value than the amount named in the
option, and Harlan filed a bill il
Chancery to declare the option .snul
and void. Chapman, in the mean
time had found purchaser for the
property at profit to himself, and
wanted to close the option. The com
promise is to satisfy damages claimed
by him, caused by the failure of hit
deal to go through, on account of Har
Ian refusing to close the option.
