UNCLAIMED ESTATES
IN THE OLD COUNTRY
Bank of England Letter on the Sub
ject-The Whitaker C1aims-No
Whitaker Estate Known.

WASHINGTON, September 16-The
State Department made public to-day the
text of letter from Chief Accountant
Of the Bank Of England in regard to
numerous inquiries of numerous people in
the United States relative to alleged un-
claimed estates in England. The letter
by Ambassador Choate, at London, anu
states That the bank has recently re-
ceived great number Of applications
respecting the Whitaker estate, the name
of Whitaker being variously spelled.
The original basis of these inquiries, it is
stated, is probably the occurrence o.
the name in lists of unclaimed stock and
dividends. published by the bank in the
early part Of the last century. How
ever, the total amount at present un-
claimed on several accounts with which
the name of Whitaker is connected. is
less than one hundred pounds sterling.
Some time ago, 1t is stated a person
called at the bank and stated that he had
been delegated by the heirs of the Whita-
ker estate to investigate their claims.
He was told that there was no such es-
tate in the knowledge of the bank, but it
was subsequently found that he gave the
heirs a different version, and spurred
them on to renewed efforts. The inquir-
les almost all date from the United
States, and have been received since
1887, but never until the present year in
such volume.

A GIRL IS SAD CASE,
Strange Insanity of a Beau
tiful Young Woman
of Charlotte.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., September 10
(Special)-A very strange and sad story
is made public here this afternoon of a
beautiful young woman in a Charlotte
hospital. At times she imagines that her
throat is filed with reptiles and she can
not deliver herself from this terrible
thought
When this strange halluoination disap-
pears she is exceedingly morose, and has
but little to say to any one. The faithful
nurses watch the young woman constant
ly. She will sit for hours with her hands
folded across her lap and stare into the
distance. Suddenly she will become
startled, and the strange idea of reptiles
in her throat VIII seize her.
When not in the throes of this idea
there will occasionally come a smile to
brighten her sad countenance. This is
only for moment, and then the big,
once expressive brown eyes seem to rest
on some far-distant object. The attending
physicians say her case is a hopeless one.
Reason is entirely dethroned, and now
nothing but death win bring relief.
There is insanity in her family, her
father having died in this condition, and
the only reason assigned is that it is he
reditary.

SCHOOL COAL SUPPLY
Soft Coal Stoves or Wood
Heaters May Be
Used.

Unless the coal strike is adjusted before
the cold weather comes, the public school
buildings of the city will have to resort
to soft-coal stoves or wood heaters The
supply of anthracite coal on hand is very
short. In fact. an official Of the schools
informed reporter for the Dispatch that
the supply amounted to only two weeks
provision in many of the schools. and
there was not more than months supply
on hand at any of the buildings. Bids
for furnishing anthra cite coal were asked
some weeks ago, but up to this time none
have been submitted. and unless there is
a more promising outlook for the settle
ment Of the strike than at present, it is
going to be impossible to secure a suffi-
oient supply for the session. It Is not
an easy matter to heat the various build
ings without hard coal. but the school
officials are living in hope that the strike
may be terminated before the really cold
weather comes.

cussed with him the entire political situa-
tion with special reference to the con-
ditions in the western States, which the
President is to visit on his approaching

very reticent after they returned from

reliable authority that it was decided to
make no attempt to revise the tariff at
the coming session of Congress; that the
President is to maintain his position as to
the trusts. and further that he is to in
sist on his demand for reciprocity with
Cuba. It is understood that he will fully

be stated on excellent authority that the
coal strike was not discusseo.
The Presidents purpose in having this
conference was to ascertain if there hao
been any marked political changes In the
different sections Of the country during
