who sdied in 1876. She read in a
newspaper that Mrs. Mead. an old wo-
man now an inmate of the Hackney
Workhouse, in London, had claimed a
share in the Blake millions as Mrs.
Blake's cousin. From this story the
German woman learned that her name
is the same as the maiden name of the
generals widow, and this suggested to
her that she might be relation, and,
therefore, entitled to share in the
property.
CONSULTS CLAIRVOYANT.
Thereupon she consulted clairvoy-
ant The oracle told her that she was
a relation and was undoubtedly enti-
tied to a share of the Blake inheritance
now held by the crown. There is moth
ing startling in that Clairvoyants gen
orally tell their clients things that will
make them think they are getting their
moneys worth. But this one went fur
ther than that. AS proof of her occult
power she made a sketch of the ward
of the Hackney Workhouse in which
Mrs. Mead is confined And she told
the namesake of General Blake S
widow that if it didn't turn out correct
she would return her fee and renounce
clairvoyance. The master of the work.

drawing which has been sent him an
accurate one of Mrs. Mead'S ward. 1t
was accepted by the German woman
as conclusive proof that all the clair
yoyant had told her was true. She has
engaged a lawyer to hunt up records
and push her claim.

FINISHES NEW TRAGEDY.

Gabrielle q d'AnnunZio is in the midst
Of a new novel, the first he has at
tempted in several years, and has Just
finished a new tragedy. which he has
named THE Light Under a Bushel."
1t consists of two thousand verses and
the scene is laid in Peligno. in the ter
ritory Of Aversa, little town in the
AbruzZi, just on the eve of Pentecost
in the time of King Ferdinand L. One
of the poets intimate friends. to whom
he has read his new play, declares that
the action is quick and passionate-the
whole tragedy taking place between
noon and night of the same day-and
says the work is a miracle of accuracy
in local customs and Superslitions. 1t
is expected that the tragedy will be
produced in Milan about the middle of
April.
on April 2 one hundred years will
have passed since the birth of Hans
Christian Andersen, and most European
countries are getting ready to pay
honor to the memory Of that delightful
writer of fairy tales. In Copenhagen.
several of Andersen's personal friends
at whose house he was an almost daily
guest, have decided to publish different
relics of him which they have pre-
served up to this time and to devote
the proceeds of their sale to charity
Among these relics is an uncommonly
interesting collection of pictures which
will be published in a portfolio They
comprise Andersen's birthplace. several
original photographs with a fac-simile
of his autograph. twelve reproductions
Of silhouettes which Andersen himself
cut out: selected leaves on which are
pasted pictures and which bear his
autograph, taken from picture books
which Andersen himself made and pre-
sented to daughters of his friends; and
a view of the Villa "Rolighed." where
the author died. There will be publish
ed, too. an etching which shows Ander-
sen when he was forty years of age
and which is the more valuable as oniy
fifty copies were made of it. and even
now only limited number of repro
ductions can be made. Quite a num-
ber of hitherto unpublished stereo-
scopic views of Andersen in the family
circle of the Melchiors at the "Roliehed
Villa" will also be issued. and lastly a
series of plates illustrating Andersen's
life and work, with Illustrations from

Up and Down.

10 move his piano to an upper room
IN his house where he was To store

hali'dozen strong men down to his
bone to do the lifting while he
did the engineering and after
strenuous efforts they succeeded in
getting Il TO the head of the stairs.
Then !, was shown that they could
not turn the instrument about so as
nplace Il in a room: and then the
work Of carrying il down stairs
followed. The workmen kicked
over the fact that a surveyor who
could nun lines aud levels and
s'ades all over town could not
nsure out grade from the front
aoor to an upstairs chamber; and
Henry scowled.

who had been dead at least two

support to the theory that Griswold
was not the victim of murder nor sui
