CONSCIENCE WAS AT WORK. For Many Years Railroad Ma
 Kept the Watch.
San Francisco Chronicle

San Francisco Chronicle.
 Mrs. J. A. Mohr, of 2639 Sutter Street, recovered a watch recently which she lost twelve years ago while viewing the Mardi Gras parade at New Orleans. The watch is an elegant timepiece in heavy gold cases, elegantly engraved. and the gift of Mrs. Mohr's father, Henry Schwerin. The fob which was originally attached to the watch has been replaced by another, perhaps less valuable, but the watch, though con- siderably worn, is still in good condi- tion. Mrs. Mohr tells the following story concerning the long-lost watch;
 "A little more than twelve years ago my father bought two handsome watches end gave one to my sister and one to me. Shortly after that I left here on a tour of the East with my aunt. We went to New Orleans to see the Mardi Gras, and while viewing the great parade at night I lost my watch. We advertised in all the papers, offef- ing a liberal reward for its return, but never heard anything more about it, though we remained in New Orleans with relatives three months after the occurrence.
 Last week I received a package by express containing the long-lost watch and in the box a scrap of paper con- taining these words: This watch was found by railroad man some years ago, and was returned to our house. S152 Chartres Street, Jan. 23. 1so1.'
 "In letter from my relatives which reached me before the watch got here the story of the peculiar return of the watch Is told, and 1t is about as fol- lows: A stranger called at the house of my relatives January 2S and said that he had watch belonging to some one living in the house. But no one fin the house had -lnst- watch and the caller was so informed. But he insist ed. saying that the watch was lost many years ago and had been adver- tised for and a reward had been of- fered. This recalled to my relatives the incident of the loss of my watch years ago. The stranger produced the watch anda my relatives recognized is as the one that I had lost. They asked him about the change of fobs, but he said that he had no recollection of a fob when he found the watch. When ask ed why he did not return the watch at the time he found 1t and had kept it all

 The Plan of sergl UkA.ps. The plan of Sergeant Champe was to capture Arnold at night, when he usually made turn in his garden. Agents were stationed in the rear to seize and gag him, and to carry him Immediately to the banks of the Hud- son River. where a boat would be signalled to convey the party to the opposite shore. where Major Lee and a posse of soldiers would receive the coveted prize. The night came, the watch waited, the soldiers and Major Lee paced the shore, but no signal was made from the British lines. Great was the disappointment of Washington and Lee, and not for some days did they know that unfortunately for their plans, the day before the time fixed upon for Arnold's capture the arch traitor moved his headquarters to an- other part of the town to attend to the transportation of troops, and Champe. along with other deserters from the rebel army. was compelled to go on board one of the transports, where he remained for some time, and no opportunity offered for his escape until after the junction of Lord Corn wallis at Petersburg, when he deserted.
 Major Lee received him with great kindness and then made known to his legion the whole story of Champe's adventures. and the soldiers were as loud in his praises of his daring and bravery as they had been in censures at his supposed desertion.
 General Washington rewarded Ser geant Champe highly and presented him with his discharge in order to re- lieve him rom the possibility of fall ing into the enemy's hands. by whom he would be executed as a spy. We'll authenticated stories have been told of Champe's life and residence afterward at Aldie, in Virginia.

Libraries for Rural Districts.

Millions of dollars have been given in the past year to provide libraries for some of the largest and richest cities of our country. The country districts are far more destitute of literature. and generally quite unable to purchase it. The American Sunday School Union conducts its publication work, not for money making but for the widest use fulness. and proposes that appeals bo made to eH.ble the Society to distrib- ute it's literature in larger amount and at lower rates to the needy. Foremost among the needs are: ~fff
 i. Circulating Libraries for Rural Townships come for thou sand libraries. which could be wisely placed in a thousand rural communi- ties in the Southern States. These would cost from $l0 to $50 each. As many more such libraries could be wisely used in rural communities in the Southwestern and Western States and on the Pacific coast.
 2. Religious Reading for Prisons.- There are over million of dependent and delinquent persons" in the United States. The Union has done much for them. and with the requisite funds can do much more.
 g. Helps for the Study of the Bible for the Adult Immigrants.-Swedes Norwegians, Danes and other foreign CTS coming to our country. and the new Spanish populations in Puerto Rico. Cuba and the Philippines, call for spe- ciaI religious publications.
 4. Bibles and Religious Reading for Homes.-The Unions missionaries could supply a hundred thousand non- church-going families with a Testa- ment or Bible or with some book fill ed with the marrow of gospel

The Greek Tragoedie and Coon Songs

 vance Review.
 It is necessary to keep clearly in mind that the Athenians of the fifth century had two distinct and important spring festivals of Dionysos. The An thesteria occupied three days at the beginning of March. the first day being called "Jar-opening," the second the 'pourings." This second day was pol luted." says Photios, and the spirits of earlier men were abroad. Various mystical rites like the secret betroth- al of the King Archon's wife with Dio- nysos. indicate that this festival has in part a more serious or esoteric char acter.
 But dramas were not performed at that time. They arose in the closest connection with the Great Dionysia, tolerated about a month later. There we hear only of relaxation and merri- ment. Debtors and prisoners were re- leased to make the rejoicing universal Athens was thronged with allies and guests. Of mysticism and allegorical solemnities we hear no word. All drank and madeSmerry. The chorus of satyrs was the very centre of all this merriment. Everything indicates that this festival merely continued the sim- pie rustic tradition.
 "Tragos is just billy goat,"H and was applied. half in derision. to the semi human yet goatlike satyrs. The real analogy to "tragoedia" lies only too close at hand in our ''coon song. Mutatis mutandis. the 'interlocutor" of Thespis. has his counterpart in the leader of our "nigger minstrels." Even the smearing of the faces as disguise is expressly mentioned before the in- vention of masks. The Dionysiac cho- rus then. Is merely a circle of rollick- ing good fellows and good singers, in- terspersing their music with rough banter. Thespis, according to Plu- tarch's story mentioned above, played the parts as actor himself. Solon re- preached him for "uttering such false hoods before the public" and the ac- tors defense Is that it is harmless-in sport" Hardly the lofty tone of true tragedy this!

He refused any reward, nor would he disclose his name."

Gen. washington's Letter.


 Dear Sir-The plan proposed for talk ing A. (the outlines of which are communicated in your letter, which was this moment given into my hands with out date) has every mark of a good one. I thus agree to the promised re- wards. and have such entire confidence in your management of the business as to give my fullest appreciation, and leave the whole to the guidance of your own Judgment. with this express stipulation and pointed injunction that he (Ad) is brought to me alive. No circumstances whatever shall obtain my consent to his being put to death. The idea that would accompany such an event would be that ruffians had been hired 10 assassinate him. My aim Is to make a public example of him. and this should be strongly impressed upon those who are employed. The sergeant must be very circumspect; too much zeal may create suspicion and too much precipitance may defeat the project.
 'The most inviolable secrecy must be observed on all hands. I send you five guineas. but I am not satisfied with the sergeant's appearance with much specie. This circumstance may also lead to suspicion. as it is but too well known to the enemy that We do not abound in this article.

Wheeling Fourth.

The government statistics shows that
the port of Wheeling ranks among the
highest inland ports, if the test of the
number of vessels doumented is APP
piled. Wheeling distanced in the last
year Cincinnati, Louisville and Mem
phis, not tt mention the many others.
The port of Wheeling embraces all the
river from East Liverpool to the mouth
of the Guyandotte, and includes both
the Kanawhas and the Muskingum. In
this district traffic is very heavy.
The last report gives the number of
vessels documented at the reading riv-
err ports as follows: Pittsburg, 291;
Wheeling, 1898; Cincinnati, 112; Louis
vile, 81; Dubuque, II; ST. Louis, 235;
Evansville, 2S9; Memphis, 1888; Nash
vile, 80. The big showing for Evans
vile is said to be attributable to the
zeal of the collector at that port in
reaching out into other waters, and in
cidentally depriving the other collec-
tors of the job, once licensing a boat
at East Liverpool. When the proposed
dams in the Ohio in this vicinity ma
terialize the returns of the local port
will be largely increased.

THIRTY-THREE HOURS
In This Vicinity up to Midnight Last
Night-TotaI Over 2.27 Inches.

Rain fell continuously during the
thirty-three hours ending at midnight
last night in the upper Ohio valley, and
at the time named it was still coming
down as enthusiastically as ever. At
six o'clock last night Observer Schnepf
reported a fall of 2.03 inches, and it
was estimated that so of an inch addi-
tional fell between six o'clock and mid
night, giving a total of 2.75 al least. and
perhaps a little more. with every pros
pect that it would go to 300 inches by
daylight. The barometer was not un-
usually low, the minimum being 1894
inches at ten o'clock last night, and the
maximum for the day 2e.43. The fact
that the mercury was falling at a late
hour made the outlook very uncertain
for clearing weather, and By that same
token the government weather predIc-
ton of the morning for yesterday was

throughout, the highest temperature be-
ing 40 at noon and three o'clock, fall
