WORTHLESS SECURITIES.
Contents Of Package Held by Rey-
nolds for Mrs. Chadwick OF
Little Value.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 1.-THE Chadwick
bubble burst when A. A. Stems, the
Cleveland attorney for Herbert ID. New
ton, of Boston, the creditor primarily re-
sponsible for bringing the meteorio ca
reer of Mrs. Chadwick to an end, made an
authoritative statement that the mys-
ferrous package Of securities left with lri
Reynolds included paper Of the face value
of SIS. GAG, 900, which bears the signature
Andrew Carnegie" and is regarded as
worthless. There is one note for the
modest sum of 100000, bearing the
name of the ironmaster, and the other
$40, 246,000 is represented by a trust
agreement concerning an alleged inheri-
lance placed in Mr.. Carnegie's keeping,
the estate of supposed uncle Of Mrs.
Chadwick, named Frederick r. Mason.
In another packet there also is a prom
issory note for $1,000. signed by. Emily
and Daniel Pine, and mortgage secur-
ing the same. This Carnegie paper with
the $1,250,0 in notes bearing the IRON
masters name previously accounted for
bring the total of this class of "securi-
ties" to 16,496,000.
Secretary Iri Reynolds, of the Wade
Park bank, declared that his implicit
belief in the statements made to him by
Mrs. Chadwick. in which she declared
herself to be the daughter of Andrew
Carnegie, was the impelling cause of his
financial dealing with her.

RUsso-JAPANEsE WAR.

The London Daily Telegraphs cor.
respondent before Port Arthur tele
graphs that all of the Russian battle
ships and cruisers. together with the
gunboats Giliak and Fusadneck, were
sunk or destroyed, and that only the
torpedo boat destroyers remain intact.
The assault on Port Arthur, beginning
November 26, was the most furious of
the siege. The Japanese gained the in
terror of several of the main forts, only
to be repulsed by the bayonet after a
hand-to-hand struggle lasting from noon
until daylight the next day.
A japanese force sent to turn Rennen-
kampffs flank was led into an ambush
and repulsed with loss of l. 500 dead.
The capture OF 203-metre hill and as
sault on Ehrlung and Keekwan forts
are said to have cost the japanese
$1,000 men.
Russia belittles the japanese reports
of Port Arthur's straits. saying that the
taking of 203-Metre hill was profitless.
The car has signed decree ordering
third squadron Of warships to sail for
the far east within two months.

Strange Holiday Resort.

One of the strangest of holiday re-
sorts has recently been made access
ible to the public at Padirac, in the
department of Lot, France. There a
wonderful series of caverns, contain
ing magnificent stalactites and a cub
terranean lake anu river, has yielded
its secrets to the adventurous ex-
plorer. The dangers of the visit have
now been ingeniously reduced, SO that
the average sightseer' may traverse
these caves with ease and safety For
ages the caves remained absolutely I'M
explored. One vast crater-like open
ing is 300 feet in circumference, and
when recent investigator made his
first visit to the depths he had to de
scend on board attached to two
ropes after the manner of swing. He
went down 300 feet and began an ex-
traordinary series of discoveries. The
chief Of these Is an underground river,
which he navigated in collapsible
boat.

question:" added the major, "of there
not being any more land In North Da-
kota and the surrounding States, and
the people are flocking to Canada to
get good farms. Naturally the num-
Der that will come over will increase
all the time, and I may say the people
you are getting are the best people In
the west They are well supplied with
money and are well acquainted with
the conditions under which they will
have to work" The agents of the
Government located at different points
In the United States are prepared TO

TOO GREAT A RESEMBLANCE
Partrait So Like the Original That
It Lacked Charitable Ex-
preston.

Bishop Olmsted, of Denver, is interest
ed in number of charities, and obtains
many generous contributions on their be-
half from rich Episcopalans, says the New
York Tribune.
There is in Denver, however, million.
aire who will rarely consent to help
Bishop Olmsted's pet projects. He is q
generous man, and in his own way. he
assists the poor, but to organized char.
ity, for some reason, he heartily OBJ
jects. The bishop often asks him for
subscriptions, but these requests are al
most invariably refused.
Recently the millionaire had his por-
trait painted. Bishop Olmsted met HIM
the other day and said:
81 saw this morning your admirable
portrait"
And did you ask il for subscription? ?"
said the millionaire, smiling.
NO." said Bishop Olmsted. 81 saw
there was no use-it was so like YOU"

Girls as Gardeners.

While agriculture and horticulture
are comparatively new occupations for
women in this country, the sweet girl
gardener is quite matter of course in
England. A graduate of Lady Henry
Somerset's farm colony has charge of
all its horticultural work. Another
superintends the laying out of gardens
under the direction Of the London Pub
lie Garden association. In 1895 the
gold medal of the Royal horticultural
society was bestowed upon woman
who was then employed in Kew gar
dens. She has since started bust
ness of her own, in which she employs
several assistants.

Popular among the Basque peasantry
il an ancient game known as trinquet
No one knows the origin Of trinquet.
Like all Basque customs, it can be
traced back and back till It's history is
lost In the remote past. Nearly every
court in the country bears the aspect
Of extreme age. The court ut Bayonne
IL believed TO be 400 years old, and the
one at st. Jean de Luz looks older than
the one at Bayonne. When Louis XIV,
who was married in ST. Jean de Luz
church went down to the little frontier
town to meet his Spanish bride, he
found the Basques Of ST. Jean de Luz
energetically playing their ancient
game, and he took the idea back with
him to Paris, and from IL, largely modi-
fed, comes the game Of tennis.
Tennis and trinquet are very similar,
save that instead of a racket leather
arrangement, known as glove, is used
for prupelling the ball.-Country Life.
