MRS. LETTERS VISIT TO INDIA
SpIendor of Her Jewels and
Gowns for the Delhi Durbar.

When Mrs. L. Z. Letter and Miss
Daisy Letter, mother and sister to
Lady Curzon, vicereine Of India, left
New York on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse for London, en- route to attend
the Delhi durbar as the guests of the
viceroy and vicereine of India, Mrs.
Letter carried with her the most elabo-
rate wardrobe owned by any American
woman, says the Washington CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Press.
Even among the costly regal robes Of
the princess of India it will scarcely be
surpassed for splendor.
This is only Mrs. Letters regular ar
ray of gowns, without single article
added for her intended trip. When the
custom house officer went to the Letter
residence on Dupont circle to look over
Mrs. Letters jewels and gowns he was
appalled, by their grandeur. Her jew
els are unsurpassed by those Of any
American woman, one rope of rubies
alone being worth hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. To this is added five
diamond necklaces and long ropes of
pearls, with dozen diamond brooches
and pendants and corOnet Of dia-
monds and other rare jewels of fabu-
lous value.
Mrs. Letter owns several lace gowns
that have occupied years of the lives OF
lacemakers and white satin gown en-
broidered in jewels Her other laces
are worth several hundred thousand
dollars.
Mr.. Letter, father to Lady Curzon,
having been buyer of rare goods of all
kinds in his merchant prince" days in
Chicago when a member of the firm of
Field, Letter & Co., makes all the
purchases of jewels and laces himself,
his wife and daughters often not know
ing they are to be the possessors of the
treasures until they are placed in their
hands.
However, even with the fabulous
wardrobe of Mrs. Letter and her daugh-
ter, regulation court robes will be nee
essary, and these will be ordered for
them in London. Mrs. Letters letters of
credit being large enough to buy gar
ments equaling those of, the queen her
self in splendor.
When Mrs. Letter and Miss Letter

ace of the viceroy is located, they will
be met by an escort who. with impOs-
ing grandeur, will accompany them to

GUARDS PATROL CAPITAL.
Repairs Cest so Much the Public
Is Being Excluded.

a Washington press dispatch says
that recently published criticisms of
the extravaganza and rapid changes
of mind on the part of the architects
having charge of the alterations of
the national capital have produced d
marked effect. Not only is the ordi
nary citizen barred from the grounds,
which are patrolled by policemen, but
a ban or secrecy has been placed on
every employe of the architects ard
contractors, while the employees of
the superintendent of public buildings
and grounds are also mysteriously ST
lent.
A loose-tongued employee in the Of
fee of Colonel Bingham, superintend-
ent of buildings and grounds, recently
let slip the information that the cost
OF the alteration Is much greater than
was contemplated by congress, will
amount to over 100000, which will
probably necessitate the insertion OF
fat item in the deficiency bill. Much
of this surplus expenditure is being
caused by the rejection of work that
was nearly completed, from the fact
that the architect had not matUred his
plans before putting them into exc
cutiou.

DISAPPEARANCE OF DENNY.
County Farmer Lett
Twelve Years Ago.

The presence of his brother in Tiff
ton recalls the strange disappearance
of Mr.. E. N. DENLY, a well-tO-do farm
err of Worth county, about twelve
years ago, from whom not word has
been heard since, says Triton spe'
cial.
1t was late in the fall, after most of
his crop had been gathered and sold,
that MIR. DENLY took small sum from
his trunk one morning, walked five
miles to Ty Ty, the nearest station,
aud boarded the train for Albany. In
Albany be paid an account which he
owed aud was seen by several parties
that day. That night Mr.. LaRoque
of the Alliance warehouse had talk
with him in the wagon yard, and that
is the last time anyone who knew him
in this section saw Mr.. Denny. Sew
eral acquaintance who were on the
train with him that morning noted his
absence when they met at the depot to
return that night. Many days passed
and nothing was heard from him. His
family began to investigate, but not
word from him has ever been received
or trace discovered. On leaving
home that morning he had only taken
small sum of the money he had on
hand, and it was not supposed he had
five dollars on his person when he dis
appeared; neither is he ,:nown to have
had an enemy in the world.
Mr.. DENLY was very Industrious
man and strictly temperate. He had
risen from the position of day labor
err to where he owned two good farms
and a comfortable home. He was d
man gularly devoted to his family,
which was large one, consisting of
two sons and five daughters, all but
two of whom were small children when
he left. His we'll known devotion to
his family made it almost impossible
that he should have voluntarily left
them, while his strictly temperate

money on his person leave no grounds

RAILROAD FOR ALASKA.
Features of the Route Described
by Engineer Atwood.
ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED MILES LONG

lime viii Be Built From Resurrec.
tiOu Bay Across the Snow Clad
Mountains to the Yukon GoIddeIds.
Great CoaIfieIds Found Near Tann-
ma River.
w. G. Atwood, chief engineer and to-
pographer of the Alaska Central rail
way, arrived at Tacoma, Wash, few
DAYS ago from Alaska with news that
Il feasible route for this railroad has
been found from the Tanana river to
the summit of the Alaskan range. says
the New York Times. Surveys for the
entire line are now nearly complete,
and preparations are being made to
begin construction in the spring.
The projectors of the enterprise are
T. August Heinze. the Montana copper
magnate; United States Senator George
Turner of Washington. and George W.
Dickinson. general manager of the Ia
coma and Seattle Interurban railway
and formerly general manager of the
Northern Pacific railway.
1t is purposed to build a line from
EistuSka. at the head of Resurrection
bay southern Alaska, across the Alas
kan range and thence down the Tana
ma valley to the Yukon. The line will
be about 400 miles long. providing an
all American railroad through the cen
trai part of Alaska territory. This
project has no connection with the pro
posed Eagle railroad, which
New York men contemplate building
through the Copper river valley to the
eastward.
Engineer Atwood also reports big
coal find. He says that on the Catwell
river, about thirty miles south of the
Tanana, there is a coalfield fully 200
miles square. Along the banks of the
river the veins extend to a depth of
1000 feet. He reports deposits of fire
clay between the veins.
Copper sulphate was also found, the
waters of the rivers containing so much
that fish cannot live. In carrying on
their explorations along the Tanana
the party came across gravel banks
from 300 to 1900 feet high. which were
gold bearing.
Engineer Atwood says that, while |
there are many millions of dollars to be
had by hydraulic process. no prospector
could work to any advantage in the
country. Regarding the coal deposits. |
he says the quality is equal to the best |
found in the state of Washington and

One of the most interesting state
