MONEY, MONEY EVERYWHERE.
Old Sailor Hid His Wealth I'm Pecu-

Old Sailor Hid His Wealth I'm Pecu-
liar Places.
From the New York World.
New Haven, March IA veritable
mine of money has been disclosed about
the house of the late Capt. James III.
Woodhouse a retired sailor, at No. 81
Perkins street. Since his death week
ago his daughter and only heir, who
is the wife of DR.. Frank H. Wheeler.
a prominent local physician, has been
busy searching, and it is said she has
already discovered $4,000 in bills, as
we'll as gold and diamonds the value
of which has not yet been estimated.
Money and gold have been found in
the most out-of-the way places The
captain died on Monday. His daughter
gave him devoted attention during his
illness, but was never able to persuade
him to disclose the whereabouts of the
riches 1t was known he possessed. The
house was closely guarded as soon as
the body of its owner had been taken
away. The police were notified in or
der that thieves might not loot the
place.
Then Mrs. Wheeler and her husband
began the search. In chairs and cush-
ions in nearly every room they found
bills sewed up, and gold that looked
as if it had been there for years came
rafting out of chinks in the walls.
A withered old plant was taken from
it's pot because it was unsightly. AS
the earth was knocked away from the
roots sparkling stones fell out, and a
thorough search disclosed many valu-
able diamonds.

with the greatest care, as the place
seemed to be reeking with wealth.
Mrs. Wheeler nearly burned a bundle
of bills which she threw into the fire
with a bundle of rags. She snatched
them from the flames in the nick OF
time.
So careIessly had some of the money
rats had gnawed away parts Of the
bundles of greenbacks. They had found
them poor feeding evidently as none of
the bills were in such condition that
they cannot be easily redeemed.
DIR. Wheeler and his wife refused to
discuss their discoveries. IL is said to
be the intention of Mrs. Wheeler to
search the outbuildings, and the yard
leading down to the river will be
ploughed up.
DR.. Wheeler has been appointed adj
.ministrator OF the estate In the abb
sence of any will. Until II comes into
court for accounting no one will know
how much money the captain had hid
den. Many residents of Fair Haven
declare the Wheelers themselves will
never know.

SAVANNAH'S GOOD ROADS
ter Home at Beaulieu by MIR. w. j.
Rainey.

ter Home at Beaul1eu by Mr. w. j..
Rainey.
The sale of the property of the late
Col. Charlton H. Way at Beaulieu, one
of Savannahs prettiest salt water re-
sorts, to Mr.. w. ]. Rainey of New
York, has been made public. The New
Yorker will make the Way residence
his winter home.
Mr.. Rainey and his brother have
spent two winters in and AROUND Sa-
vannah automobiling and yachting,
and are we'll known here. Mr.. Rainey
has made many friends in the city
during his visits and the fact that he
intends taking up his winter quar- tiers
here will be pleasant news to those
who know him. The Way property
was purchased from Mr.. Norman
Beckett by Mr.. Julian Schley, acting
for Mr.. Rainey. The price paid for
the property was $4,000.
Many improvements will be made on
the place and it will be ready for oc-
cupancy next winter. There will be a
shooting lodge, an automobile house
and a yachting house. The place has
a river frontage of $50 feet and is
beautifully located. During the sum
mer months the work of building will
go on and upon Mr.. Raineys return
from Europe, where he will go this
summer, his new winter home will be
ready to receive him. Mr.. Rainey is a
great admirer of Savannah and of the
roads in this vicinity, and the conbi-
nation is responsible for the fact that
he will become a winter resident.

OF city folks, who are guests for the
summer. The scenes of the remaining
three acts are in New York, and as the
action takes place in fashionable draw

afforded and taken advantage of for
the very richest of costuming and

No work of fiction ever lent itself
more effectively or more acceptably to
stage uses than Winston Churchills
Richard Carvel" which is to be seen
at the theater on Friday. In the dram
atization of this stirring romance
there was found in the book material
sufficient for half dozen plays, and
the effort of the dramatist was towards
condensation rather than elaboration
OF incident and action. The result is a
drama which for virility of action and
wealth of incident has not been excell-
ed in modern play building. The story
opens with spirit, unfolds with rapidity
and reaches its conclusion after a Sc
ries of stirring scenes ingeniously inter-
woven with a thread of sentiment
which heightens the effect without de-
laying the action; and Mr.. Andrew
Robson, who is again the dashing Car
vel seems to enter into the spirit of
the story with a disposition rarely DEM
onstrated on the stage. He acts,
moves and lives 'Carvel, and not only
individualiZes this fervor, but infuses
the same spirit into the exceIiently we'll
chosen company that surrounds him.

4 rIcT0RE F0R MENIcLPAL ART.

One Of the last batch Of Supreme Court de-
cisions which will greatly rejoice persons inter
ested in municipal art is that upholding the
Massachusetts law to limit the height of build
ings in Copley Square, Boston. In May. 1895
the legislature passed au act prohibiting the
erection of buildings more than ninety feet high
in Copley Square. The Westminster Chambers
for which a building permit had been issued in
July. 1897, then under way When the
builders came TO the cornice they found that it
would project six feet beyond the limit After
consultation with the city authorities it was de-
cided to complete the structure according to the
plans.
The State however took the matter up, and
in spite Of the city determined to enforce the
law. Accordingly an effort was made to pass
law legalizing the height of the Westminster
Chambers One year it was defeated. The next
year bill was passed which was vetoed by
Governor Crane. Since then the question has
been in litigation, and now the United States
Supreme Court decides that the law was con-
stitutional and that the owners of the building
notwithstanding the facts that their plans ante
dated the law and that they reached what they
supposed was an agreement with the city before
proceeding with the cornice, must remove the
excessive six feet of the structure. There are
threats of another appeal to the legislature but
it is not likely TO be successful. It is also said
that the owners will bring suit against the city
for the cost of the alterations and the litiga-
ton. on the grOurd that they proceeded under
municipal authority and advice 1t would seem
to he their own fault though, If they took bad
advice as TO the constitutionality of a State
law, whether they took it from a private coun-
sci or q city officer.
At any rate. the right to protect the artistic
appearance of Copley Square Is vindicated.
That is great victory. 1t means that we may
iegislate TO restrict the use of property not only
on grounds Of public safety and sanitation, but
also solely on grounds Of aesthetics. There can
be such a thing as an artistic nuisance. A
mans eye as we'll as his nose has rights which
property owners along the street are bound to
respect That has sometimes been doubted
Courts have often felt IT necessary in permit
ting the restriction of signboards TO say that
they were dangerous, were likely to be blown
over interfere with fremen or otherwise do
tangible harm. Now a law is upheld by the
highest authority the sole and avowed purpose
of which was to keep the architectural har-
mony Of public place from being disfgured
