Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1902-10-30


Some time ago registered pack
age sent from the New York Office
containing a large sum of money was
received at it's destination appar-
emily intact, but on being opened
was found to contain nothing but
waste paper. A postofiice inspector
detailed TO the case made q thorough
investigation, bit failed 10 discover
the thief. The registration of the
package at the various Offices through
which it passed was apparently cor
rect, and suspicion could not be di-
rected to any one clerk OF the many
who had handled it.
Upon the unsuccessful termination
of the inspectors Investigations it
was decided to place upon the case
a member OF the inspector force
who had acquired a reputation for
solving tangled problems in connec-
ton with his work. He was allow
ed free rein. Several weeks later
the thief was arrested upon infor-
nation given by the inspector and
the greater portion Of the money
was found in his possession.
The Postoffice Department officials
were greatly relieved, as although
a section of the postal regulations
expressly stipulates that the gov
ernment is not liable for more than
so for the value OF q lost registered
letter, this provision has on more
than one occasios been declared in
valid by the courts, and the govern
ment, in the event Of the non-recov-
cry Of this particular package, would
probably have lost a considerable
sum Of money.
The report of the inspector relates
that on going over the ground COW
cred by his predecessor on the case
he was absolutely unable to direct
suspicion toward any one by the
usual means. He had often noticed.
however. he says, that the glue U.s.
ed by the different postofiices inva-
riably has a distinctive odor and as
he studied the case IL came to him
like fash that through this pecu-
liar attribute Of postoffice glue he
would discover the thief.
He took the registered package
which had arrived at its destination
full OF waste paper, and which, Of
course, had been tampered with en-
route, opened aud sealed again, and,
softening the glue, familiarized him
self with its odor. Then he went TO
the New York Office, the point of
starting of the registered package,
and shifted at the glue pots. He
was unsuccessful.
Then he took TO the road and stop-
ped at all the Offices where the val
liable package had been handled by
different clerks. all the time paying
no attention to the usual methods of
detecting postofiice criminals, but
simply shifting az the glue pots.
He was finally rewarded when in
an Office near the place of destina-
tion of the package by an identity OF
smell between the registered pack
age and glue pot on the counter.
Satisfied that he had at last reached
the end of his search, he caused a
watch TO be set upon the clerks ia
the Office in theusual way, and finally
caught his man spending q portion
Of his ill-gotten gains.

partment are divided between a de-

Read II In His Newspaper.

George Schaub, a well known German
citizen of New Lebanon. Ohio. is a con-
slant reader of the Dayton Volkszeitung
He knows that this paper aims to adver-
tise only the best in its columns, and when
he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm adver.
tised therein for lame back, he did not
hesitate In buying a bottle of it for his
wife, who for eight weeks had suffered
with the most terrible pains in her back
and could get no relief. He says: After
using the Pain Balm for a few days my
wife said to me. 81 feel as though born
anew" and before using the entire con-
tents of the bottle the unbearable pains
had entirely vanished and she could again
take up her household duties" He is very
thankful. and hopes that all suffering k
wise will hear Of her wonderful recovery.

Nearly Died of Starvation.

A young man in one of our large cities
was recently found in an unconscious
condition, and upon examination it was
found that he was dying Of starvation.
Food was given in small quantities and
in a few days the patient recovered.
There are many other people starving
themselves because they are afraid to eat
good. substantial food Their stomachs
are weak and cannot therefore digest 1t
properly. Consequently the flesh and the
blood and nerves become impoverished.
A few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers will restore the stomach to its nor
NAL condition and cure headache, indiges-
ton, dyspepsia, fla%tulency, constipation
and b-iliousness. 1t is the best stomach
strengthened and health builder in ex-
Istence. Try 1t and see for yourself.

Cuban reciprocity promises to be the
rock which will inevitably rend asunder
Republican harmony and leave a feeling
of antagonism between the party and
the chief executive. The beet sugar Sem
ators still adhere to their position and
refuse to permit any measure, granting
reciprocity to Cuba at the expense of the
beet sugar trust, to pass the Senate,
while Mr.. Roosevelt insists that he will
veto any measure which provides for re-
bate of the duties. The testimony of F..
Il. Thurber that he had received 81, 500
from Mr.. Havemeyer. president of the
sugar trust. nearly $1,000 from the War
Department and various sums from other
sources to circulate reciprocity litera-
ture will prove a serious obstacle to the
efforts of the administration.

FILIPINO SAID TOO MUCH.

A staggering blow was delivered to
Republican claims in regard to the paci-
fcation of the Filipinos last week by
Deacon Buencamino, so-called because
of his activity in connection with one OF
the missionary societies now laboring in
the islands. Inc deacon" who, by his
own admission holds a "fat office" in the
employ of the Philippine Commission.
was before the House Committee on In
sular Affairs to convince the misguided
Democrats of the entire untenableness of
their views. However. while he tried
hard to testify as his employers would
have wished, he was forced to admit that
the majority of the Filipinos, himself
included, expected that they would, on
the complete termination of the insur-
rection, be made a territory of the United
States and ultimately given Statehood
and the full protection of the Constftu-
ton. Government as a colony he char
terized as government of men as COM
pared with government of law" as he
described government under the Consti-
tuition. He predicted that a continual
ton of colonial government by Americans
would produce results similar to those
produced under the domination of Spain,
which had come TO the islands with the
most generous Intentions but whose col
onial administration of Philippine affairs
had resulted most disastrously. He de-
clared tina he would forsake the Philip
pines forever if he believed they were to
be governed as a colony beyond the time
necessary for their reorganization as a
territory. When Mr.. Buencamino had
concluded this unwelcome testimony he
was made to feel that he was by no
means as welcome in the capital as had
been the case before he had permitted
himself to disclose a few plain truths.

UNKNOWN DEAD BOY.
With Enid, Okla, Card in Pocket,
Found at Dousasrty, /. 7.

Dousherty, E. T., April 14.-Satur-
day morning at sunrise, when the
coal shute men came down from their
work, they found the mangled body
of a boy about ~ years old, beside
the track, about one hundred feet
north of the depot here.
There was nothing whatever about
his person to identify him. In his
pockets were two business cards
one of r. T. woltz & Co.'s shoe store
at Fort Worth; the other of the Hotel
Frantz, Enid. Okla. These two cards,
together with a two-bladed imitation
tortoise shell pocket knife and fish
nook and line, were the only articles
in his pockets. He lad gray eyes,
bro~n hair and a high forehead. His
hair had the appearance of being well
kept. He wore lead colored cordu-
roy pants, black cap, black coat and
vest, and a new shirt. He had taken
of his collar and tie and put them
inside of his vest The tie was red
with black stripes running crossways.
It is not known whether he was
trying to jump off or attempting to
board train when he met his death.
The body was cold when found. His
left leg was cut almost entirely of
and one of his arms and his head ter
ribly crushed.
The body is now at the depot here,
and will probably be buried by the
Santa Fe company
