The seventeenth-century mansion III Bo-

house of Wren is another relic to add to
the LIST of objects of sentiment which peo-
pie refuse to buy at the possessor's figure
Bidding began at the extremely moderate
figure of $4,000 but did not rise above

by the vendors. The auctiOneer spoke of Its
historical and antiquarian interest but as
the last price offered did not rise to 3 shili-
ings foot, which is the common price for
freehold land in less convenient parts of
the city proper, 1t was plain that the man
sion itself was not considered at all. But
the ghost of Wren. which doubtless is a

old city properties are sold, would hardly

One of the most interesting old houses
in the suburbs of London is now for sale.
This is Cromwell House, Highgate, which
Is associated with the name and life of the
protector. There is no evidence that he ever
resided In it, but he undoubtedly bought
the house and presented it to his daughter
Bridget who was married to Gen. Ireton Ii
is probable, therefore, that he frequently
visited there. The house has not been ma
terfally altered since the days of Cromwell

A small lock of Nelson's hair was sold
at Christie's yesterday for $50
guineas. 1t was contained in glass tube
which fitted into a small sarcophagus. At
the corners of this were four figures of
Fame, unfolding pyramidical canopy,
composed of the 81 guineas found in Mel
sons purse at the time he received his NOR
tai wound on Trafalgar day The handles
of the sarcophagus We're modelled from the
stern of the barge that conveyed Nelson's
body from Greenwich to Whitehall to await
his burial. But though the sarcophagus was
interesting as a work of art, and the
guineas had the intrinsic value of gold as
well as being attractive to the numismatist,
1t was obvious that it was the sentimental
appeal made by the little tube of hair that
augmented the price at which it was sold
after some very spirited bidding to a curio
dealer in Bond street.
Before this lot was put up for sale there
was sold large collection of rare snuff
boxes at prices ranging from . TO u
guineas 1t would he interesting to know
IL these snuff boxes We're intended by their
purchasers merely to swell other 'eollec-
tons" or to be put to their legitimate use.
1t was said some time ago that there was
a revival in the habit of snuff-taking. but
its vogue must be very limited.

self to the various educational institu-
tions of this section, as well as to the
young people who are striving after
higher education. The plan involves
the awarding of a number of scholar
ships in the best schools and colleges,
supplemented with cash, in some cases
for incidental expenses, to number OF
boys and girls who otherwise would
not have the means to provide for next
years schooling. Subscribers to the
Post-Intelligencer will have choice
in selecting the students to whom the
scholarships and money shall be given,
by means of voting coupon and sys-
tenn of credits allowed on every pre-
paid subscription to the paper. The
contest will run throughout the sum
mer vacation, and candidates for the
scholarships can do "a profitable busi-
ness during the vacation period by
drumming up subscriptions and obtain
ing the votes and the cash commission
which the publishers will pay on all
new subscriptions. The contestant
having the highest number of votes
at the end of the contest will have first
choice of the scholarships and cash
prizes; the second in line will have
second choice, and so on. Opportunity
is given any bright pupil to earn any
where from 500 to $500 before the
schools reopen for the fall term. The
fact that the news paper will profit by
the scheme in increased circulation de-
tracts nothing from the benefit it will
he to the pupils and the schools them
selves which will receive q great deal
of very desirable publicity through the
contest. No better scheme 10 arouse
interest la the cause of education has
ever been devised. 1t has given great
satisfaction wherever tried in other
parts OF the country, ard the Post Inr
telligeBcer is to be congratulated on in
PRODUCING it here.

THE COURT AWAITS
 DAGGS' AFFIDAWTS
The Motion for New Trial Will be
 Heard on Friday.

Yesterday wns the time fixed for the hearing of a motion for a new trial in the case of R. E. Daggs and for pass ing sentence upon him in the event oi the overrulinS of the motion. At the request of the attorneys for the de- fense the hearing of the motion was continued until next Friday in order tC give the defense time to bring in ad- ditional affidavits and gather more new evidence Some of the affidavits already on hand are said to b" of a sensational character.
 The greater par. of the day in dis trict court was taken up with the trial of the damage suit of T. N. Clanton against the Buckeye Land and Canal company. There are several of these suits based upon the failure Of water users under the defendants canal to get water during a break in the dam which it is alleged was not repaired as soon as it might have been.
 J. H. Pershing, a member of the bar of Colorado was admitted to take part in the defense of this case. MT. Persh- ing is the plaintiff in action against the company resulting in the present receivership. The plaintiff in the damage suit was on the stand the greater part Of the day.
 In the case of John R. Norton against the same defendant the trial or1ci was vacated it having been shown by the defendant that the amended complaint was not served on it until Nov. 25. Several suits by J. D. Crabb and others against the Salt River Valley Canal company were continued to Dee. IA The case of Arthur R. TaVlOr at-diT st Lincoln Fowler was reset for Dee. 9 and that of J. B. WedgewortE against w. c. Dawes for Dec. 20.
 An order was made allowing J. 1T. 0'Neill a witness in the case of Geo. O'Neill, who was tried in Justice Rulnett's court last Saturday on a charge of forgery, $S7.50 for his ex- penses in coming here to swear that he had authorized his brother to sign his name to the check which had caus- ed his arrest
 The O'Neills have come out of this affair quite fortunately for them when it seemed that nothing could save Geo. O'Neill from the penitentiary. In fact, he wanted to go before the grand jury, acknowledge his guilt and throw him. self on the mercy of the court.
 It had been stated that he had sign ed the name of his brother to the check in the presence of T. H. Bassett, who had cashed 1t. MT. Bassett however said that he did not cash the check. While he was sick O'Neill came to him, showed him the check and said that J. H. O'Neill was his brother who had sent it to him. He had tried to
