A QUEER PICTURE THING.
The Way One Art Treasure Was Res
cued From Oblivion.

Few chapters in the worlds history
are more curious and interesting than
that which deals with the fortunes 81
its art treasures. In the cathedral at
Montreal is. or was few years ago,
a large piece of tapestry which had
been discovered in back street OF
New England town. The story is told
In Mrs. Silspee's Half Century OF
Salem"
One day a certain Mr.. Miller passing
through Derby street saw a woman
beating clouds of dust from a carpet
Something peculiar in its appearance
made. him stop and look closely at II.
when he discovered, to his astonish-
ment that it was a splendid piece OF
tapestry, with life sized 1gures
wrought from Raphael's cartoon,
Feed My Lambs"
The woman was quite willing to
tell how she obtained it. 1t was, In
fact, a standing grievance to her. Her
husband was sailor, and when ne
went out on one Of his voyages she
nad begged him TO bring her carpet
for her best room. As II happened, he
did not visit a port where he could
buy a carpet, but rolled up in little
shop on the quay at Malta he had
found the tapestry and purchased il,
thinking Il might answer the purpose.
II was too large for the room, and the
woman had 10 turn big piece under.
She folded the piece back, revealing
part of the superb border Of fruit and
flowers, wrought in silk and gold
thread. as fresh as when it was first
worked. But the owner eyed IL with
contempt She never did like the
| queer picture thing. she declared.
1t was the opportunity Of lifetime.
Mr.. Miller promptly offered her the
choice of any carpet in the stores In
exchange for her queen picture
thing" and the woman as promptly
accepted the offer. They went down
town together, and she selected, with
unbounded delight, a hideous pattern
of glowing reds and green's Her face
was full of triumph when she re-
turned. The best room at last was 10
have carpet that was n carpet!
1t is safe TO say that no bargain ever
gave more complete satisfaction "a
both parties than the one made that
morning in Derby street, Salem.

A Modest REQUEST.

The gentlemen who have called the
convention of the five tribes to boom
the Moon bill has concluded the call
with a request that every hamlet in
the Territory petition congress to
purchase and hold in trust the coal
lands of the Chickasaw and Choctaw
Nations for a perpetual school fund
for our children"
Under the provisions of our supple
mentary treaty the coal lands are to
be sold in small tracts under direc-
ton of the government and the pro
ceeds go to the citizens of the two
Nations. The Nations will insist on
a good price and. basing the estimate
on an offer by a syndicate represent
ed by Col. ]. j. McAlester a few years
ago. S20,O0O,OOO is regarded as a fair
price. This would be a rich thing for
Territory schools, but we suspect div
ers watch-dogs of the treasury would
growl furiously at the suggestion
There is, unfortunately, mass of
statistics which can be pulled against
us. The United States government
has been lavish in endowment of
schools. The government has given,
according to Johnson's encyclopedia,
150,0O0,OO0 acres of land to the school
funds of the various states. This land
is now worth a fabulous price. But it
did not cost the government anything
like what II is worth now. The whole
Louisiana purchase, which contained
over 750000,000 acres, cost but $751;
100000. Estimating the average of
school land at the same cost to the
government the national treasury Is
minus but s3O00,000 for the gift OF
school land to all the states. In view
of this the watch-dogs will bark ter
ribly at the attempt of b. I. T. to take
over six times as much from the
treasury for school purposes as has
been spent on all states combined
Twenty millions is a neat sum. Set
ting aside a lot of school land fo
school purposes that was PRACTICAL!
worthless until railroads and settlers
made it valuable is a different proposi
ton from going into the strong boz
for twenty million cold plunks. W.
are in an unfortunate predicament il
that the coal lands are already yer.
valuable and they belong TO the tw,
tribes.
But then Scripture tells us TO AS
largely, and we may receive some
thing by making a good, stiff request

FATHER CR0PSEY SUES.
Officials Express Surprise When Asked
About Matter-Chicago Priest
Talks of His Case.

CHICAGO, March 2s.-Father Crowley
started suit for $4,000 damages against
the Western Union Telegraph Company
yesterday on the ground that the COM
pany had allowed secret communications
to become known to his enemies.
He charges that the original of a pri-
yate cablegram sent by him and his
friends 10 Cardinal Ledochowski at Rome
was withdrawn from the company's files
and photographed, signatures and all, and
that photographs of it were furnished to
Bishop Mudoon.
These photographs. Father Crowley
says, were subsequently, used by Bishop
Muldoon in an effort to frighten into sub
mission certain of those who had opposed
his appointment. In the trial Father
Crowley says he will cite Chicago clergy
men. and bring to light the specific
charges made against him to Rome and to
Cardinal Martinelli.
Father Crowley said:
Il cannot say that | am greatly sur
prised al this discovery. This is only one
instance of a number OF like occurrences.
One occurred last September. in eonnec

ceding July. Before the trial | called re-
peatedly at the company's Offices to get
the papers, or at least copies of them.

produced the receipt and admitted that

NEW YORK, March 2S.-The directors
of the Riverside Bank announced late
this afternoon that one of the receiving
tellers had defaulted. resulting in a loss
to the bank of 5000, which amount has
been charged to the undivided profits.
The bank has a surplus left of sl14.000,
in addition to its capital of 100000. The
State bank examiner has been asked to
examine the bank to verify the amount
The statement officially confirmed the
news that Harry C. Bell, young en-
ploye of the bank. had succumbed to the
temptations incident to handling hundreds
of thousands of dollars. although his own
salary was $500 a year.
The bank officers say that Bells method
so far as they have learned was sim
plicity itself-the depositor handed in
the money with a slip; Bell took the
money and the slip. wrote the amount
in the depositor's handbook, tore up the
slip, and put the money into his pocket
The bank officers say that this process
has been going on since the middle of
last February.

NEW YORK. March 2S.-A special de-
spatch received here today stated that
the President had selected Mr.. William
Williams. of New York, to succeed Mr.
Fitchie.
Mr.. Williams took luncheon at the

to Washington to talk over the matter
with President Roosevelt.
Entertained at Dinner.
Secretary Shaw was entertained this
evening al private dinner at the Metro
politan Club At the club he met some
bank presidents and also several mer. it
was said who had opinions to express
touching the situation in immigration
matters.
Secretary Shaw said after the dinner
that he did not care to divulge TIE names
of those whom he had met and talked
with nor what they had discussed.
Visits Ellis Island.
During the afternoon Secretary Shaw,
who has been here since Thursday see
ing things for himself as he puts it, paid
a visit to Ellis Island. He went over with
Mrs. Shaw on the noon boat and spent
four hours on the island. He had long
talk with Commissioner Fitchie and AS
sistant Commissioner McSweeny.
Secretary Shaw's visit aroused much in
terest because of the troubles of the
immigration bureau and the rumor that
both Commissioner Fitchie and Mr.. Nc
Sweeny will be relieved.
The Secretary said the visit was to IA
miliarize himself with the workings of
the bureau. and that it was his policy to
do this with every bureau connected with
his department. When it was suggested
that 1t might mean a reconstruction or
the removal of the Ellis Island officials,
he said:
That is entirely wrong. The removal
of Mr.. Fitchie and others over there is
in the hands of the President, and can't
talk about it. Charges are on file against
Mr.. McSweeny, but l have not looked into
them vet.
ANY appointments will be announced
by the President. On my visit today |
