ODD CONSCIENCE MONEY"
British Railroad Gets 90, 1000 From an
Unknown Debtor.


From the London Tribune.
A remarkable cash entry In the &C.
counts of the London. Brighton and South
Coast railway was referred to at the ordi-
nary meeting Of the company yesterday
Lord Cottesloe, who presided, called at
tention to the fact that the general insur-
ance fund was credited with the sum of
fl 200 under the simple entry Of cash"
The circumstances in which the money was
paid over to the company were unusual.
A London solicitor called ON the COM
panys solicitors in January and stated that
a client of his (whose name he was not
allowed to divulge) was in the possession of
a sum of money which he considered to be-
long rightfully to the company and which
he wished to pay over. The solicitor declin-
ed to give any information as to how the
money came into his clients possession,
and he was only prepared to say that his
client was not. and never had been, con-
nected with the company. If the acceptance
of the offer was declined, he added, he
would advise his client that. having made
the offer, he might retain the money with
a clear conscience.
The true facts connected with this nav
ment, said Lord Cottesloe, would probably
never be known 1t was very unusual cir
cumstance for railway company to re-
ceive what unquestionably must be con
science money!
The offer was accepted.

Korean Omen of Good Fortune.

from the South China POST
The Koreans are greatly exercised over
ehe appearance of a bamboo tree through
the cracks OF the floor last occupied by the
late Gen. Min Yong Whan. Since the sr,.
eide Of the general in November last the
room has been kept closed. and when the
room was opened two days ago the bamboo
had already attained the height of more
than four feet.
The Koreans find parallel in this uhe-
nomenon In an event that occurred In
Songdo 500 years ago, when a patriot de-
Tending the emperor was done to death on
a stone bridge Just outside the city. Sew
eral months after his death bamboo
sprouted UP between the stones on the
his last.

1T cannot be said. however that this no.
tice, as worded, presents a very inviting ap-
pearance, and the warning 1t conveys and
the suggestion 1t makes could better be ex-
pressed in other words 1t is unnecessary at
this time to bring to the mind the POSSIBLE

now an accepted fact, and it need not be
constantly placed under our eyes. There

Pansies Lived Under Alaska Snow.
From the Rampant News.

From the Rampart News.
The first SHOWS OF last September caught
the pansy bed at the experiment station in
full bloom. This spring when the snow dis
appeared the plants were found green and
fresh looking. with buds and half-open
blossoms showing in their natural purples
and yellows. A week later the buds began
to open. The blossoms, though trifie
smaller than normal, are perfect in shape
and color, and show no evidence of their
eight months Information.
This Is especially remarkable, in view of
the fact that the past winter was the cold
est ever recorded on the Yukon. Readers
Will remember that the record for the first
twenty three days in January showed an
average minimum Of more than 80 degrees
below zero.

An Unlawful Conspiracy.

'There Is not SO much of the bOycotting
of post offices going on now as in former
years, though. of course. the practice will
continue more or less as occasions arise
The department does not like to have its
service crippled anywhere, and takes meas
ures within the regulations to bring these
fractional and sectional strifes to as speedy
an end possible. By reason of divert
ing the mail, as l have described, from one
Office to another, the latter is often ele-
waited into presidential office. Then when
the diverted mail is restored to its former
and usual channel the newly made presi-
Dental office has to be relegated back
into the fourth class by reason Of the
loss of revenue, and much trouble and the
necessary winding and unwinding of de-
partmental red tape ensues
Forgetting has been held to be an I'M
lawful conspiracy by the courts and there
is no reason why the principle of law can

tracised officials would institute and press
to a conclusion damage suits against their
unfriendly and officiOus neighbors it would
have a wholesome tendency to discourage
disappointe postmastership applicants and
their dsgruntled friends from patroniz-
ing post offices other than their own, even
II they didn't like the man who pulled
down what is usually the ripest plum of
federal patronage in the section. Perhaps
one reason why this is not done is be-
cause larger per cent Of the boycotted
postmasters are fourth class officials who
as a rule are very far from having the
money to bring what would be somewhat
expensive lawsuits"

CHICAGO MARKETS
blfshers' PresaI

Chicago, Dec. 21-The final report
grain crop caused weakness in all the
grain pits. especially in oats. The
wheat market opened easier, chiefly
in sympathy with the weakness of
oats and corn. The Government crop
report completely offset firm cables
and small receipts in the Northwest.
The corn market was weak, partly
because of the Government crop re-
port and partly because of the weak
ness of oats.
The oats market was weak and
trading very active. The figures con-
tanned in the Government crop re
port, showing 100 100000 bushels
above the October estimate, caused
lively selling.
The provisions market opened
weak because of the decline in the
price of live hogs. 1t quickly rallied
however, on a good general demand.

Reception to the Longworths.

The Society of American Women gave
luncheon to Ambassador Reid and
Mrs. Reid and Mr.. and Mrs LongwOrth
at the Hotel Cecil, In London, yester
day. The large banqueting hall of the
hotel was filed with the American wOm-
en- and their guests, who included, be-
sides the Reds and the Longworths,
Lord Roberts, the Duke and Duchess Of
Marlborough and Lord Curzon of Ked-
leston, the former viceroy of India.
The Duke of Marlborough, in propos-
ing the health of Mr.. and Mrs. Long
worth, spoke of the interest Englishmen
took in the political utterances of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and in his great political
career, saying that the Presidents high
aims, courage and mauliness commanded
the admiration, good will and enthusiasm
of the British. Recognizing the Presi-
dents great qualities, the British had
gladly welcomed his daughter, and, now
that they had met her, they regretted
her early departure, and hoped she would
retain for England the kindly feeling and
interest which England would retain for
her.
Mr.. Longwortb replied, thanking the
American ladies for their courtesy
and expressing the pleasure experienced
by hipgelf and his wife at the kind
ness they had mel with on every hand.
Lord Curzon, speaking for the guests,
said it had been great pleasure for
them to meet the daughter of the great
eat siatesmen of the day, not only be-
cause she was the daughter of thp
President, but because Of herself.
President Roosevelt, he added, was max
ing an enduring mark on the history
of bis times but, above all, the British
bad to thank him for cementing The
good relations existing between the two
peoples.
Mrs. Reid and Mrs Longworth al
forwards attended a reception of the
Lyceum Ladies Club.
