AnUnworked Copper Mine.

The following appeared in the Pitts
burg Dispatch few days ago:
At St. Asaph's, the racetrack outside
of Alexandria, it used to be the custom
to give return tickets for II cents. Most
of the patrons would hand over quarter
and get in change a nickel and three
cents. This copper money, according to
the average creed of the gambler was
unlucky, so that the Potomac between
Washington and Alexandria was filled
with the copper thrown overheard by
the men who were going to bet on the
races. There is an old-time racecourse
man who swears that the stretch OF water
between the two cities is so overloaded
with copper currency that it is well
worth while dredging. He says "Ihere
is more copper money in the bottom OF
that river than all the mines in Colorado
will produce in year. If the govern
ment would only take tumble and look
things over it could make fortune
from the cents in the Potomac"

EerOciOuS Dogs.

The sad circumstances in connection
with the death of Mr.. Frank Summers,
given 10 yesterday Gazette, have caused
some apprehension among people whose
wont it is to visit the cemeteries adJoln-
ing this city. Some are not satisfied with
the theory that Mr. Summers committed
suicide by swallowing poison and that
his remains were attacked by dogs, but
prefer to be believe be was asleep or in
helpless state and was killed by the ours.
Whether this be so or not, the feroclty
of the CANNES when several men attempt
ed to drive them off is prima facie evil
dence that they should not be suffered to
90 at large. Spades, picks, &c, had to
be used in battle with the brutes before
they could be forced to leave the scene.
An old soldier this morning in speaking
of the circumstances in connection with
the gruesome affair said that dogs would
not attack dead men on battlehelds, but
the fact can be proven that they have
dug under the fence around Penny Hill
burying ground and scratched holes In
graves. But, apart from all this, appre-
hension exists lest children or others who
90 to the cemeteries be attacked by
prowling ours, and those who own them
should, in the interests of public safety,
keep them on their own premises.

Apneared Before Committee.

A delegation of business men OF this
city went to Washington today and az.
peared before the House committee on
rivers and harbors and advocated appro-
priatious for deepening the channel in
the Potomac. As was stated few days
AGO. there is but little likelihood OF a
river and harbor bill being prepared by
Congress this year. The delegation, how
ever will express their views to the COM
mittee and thereby inaugurste move
ment toward securing in the near future
appropriations Tor the desired improve
ments. 1t is the opinion of many that
Congress will eventually become interest
ed in the matter, and that sooner or later
the river leading to the national capital
will be placed in condition to accommo'
date the larger class of vessels.

The French Claimants.

Reference was made yesterday to the
fact that parties in France were sending
letters to certain persons in this city
asking information concerning Frank
Gaudin. Those who write the letters are
evidently his heirs, and they believe
there is money coming to them from
both the federal and the State govern
ments. The following dispatch has evil
IDENTIFY aroused their interest
THE HERITAGE OF AN EXPATRIATED
FRENCHMAN.
dispatch of Havas Agency.]
New York, Jan. 81, 1904.
In a little cemetery of Alexandra,
Va. may be read the following ePitaph
upon the marble of a tomb; Crank
Gaudin, artillerymaD, Battery b, U; ;.
A died at Alexandria in 1863" The
story of the soldier Gaudin, who was
Frenchman, is most interesting. lie
came to the United States about 1860,
establishing himself as druggist IN
Alexandria and did good business.
Four wears later during the civil war he
sold his business and effects and on Au-
gust %, 1864, enlisted, but before leaving
he deposited quite nice amount in
bank in that city. In making the de-
post be stated to the cashier that he was
French and born in city the name OF
which resembled Leon. From that time
the money remained on deposit in the
bonk until February 10. 1903. when il
was turned over to the "public admins
traitor" That money with the accumu-
lated interest amounts today to quite a
decent sum and in addition the United
States government has in its possession
part of the dead soldiers pay which 1t
holds intact. No one has heard of the
heirs of Gaudin, and if said heirs are
found they would have right to both the
sums above referred to, and it is possible
that they could also obtain pension
from the American government.

The Weight of Bread.

In reference to the complaint made
Yesterday by Market Master Lyles that
two city bakers have offered for sale
bread slightly under weight, it is but
Justice to the managers of the Alexan-
dria Steam Bakery to state that it was
not bread from their bakery which was
complained of. The method adopted by
the Alexandria Steam Bakery for weigh
ing bread precludes the possibility OF
LIGHT weight.

terribly and only after treatment by physi-
clan it would get back to normal speed;
These attacks increased in frequency and
seve ity until December, 1901, when they
came on once a week. Each attack would
lay me up day or more. The attack begun
ming January 18th, 1902, lasted 100 hours
(almost a week. my heart be It almost one
hundred and fifty per minute and some
times more. During this week my physician
consulted with four other doctors, but all to no
