MILLIONAIRE STARVED.
A New York RecIuse Starves to Death,
Leaving Property Valued at More
Than a Million.

New York. Bonds and mort
cages representing more than $780,
900, and more than $4,000 in
cash have been found hidden in a
house at 1S44th street and Morris
avenue, lately occupied by Miss
Maria Corsa, who died of starva-
ton and exposure on Monday of
last week, leaving an estate valued
at nearly 81 100000 The money
was hidden in furniture, under
carpets and in almost every nook
and corner of the house.
Mrs. Mary Burnhau, a first
cousin of Miss Corsa, and one of
the nearest relatives, has installed
herself with her sons, Willet and
Oscar, in the house. They took
possession soon after Miss Corsa' s
death.
Mrs. Joseph Liscomb, another
first cousin, is an equal heiress
with Mrs. Burnham.
Several other claimants have
come to light since the death of
the wealthy old recluse, and have
engaged counsel When Mrs.
Burnham took charge of the Morris
avenue house she had the place
cleaned and put in order. After
the funeral of Miss Corsa, on Fri
day, Mrs. Burnham, with her two
sons, began search of the pre-
misses. Every piece of furniture
was thoroughly examined and the
entire house gone over and the
additional wealth was found. The
money found was in bills of every
denomination. from one dollar up
to fifty. Old trade dollars, bear
ing evidence of little handling,
were taken from place where they
had been hidden for years.

A WELCOME IMPROVEMENT.
UnsishtIy Conditions on Commercial
Street Are To Be Speedily Improved.

For some time past City Engineer
w. b. Getchell has been at work PLAN
ming for certain improvements which
will be made on Commercial street a
much travelled thorUughfare which has
been in an unsightly condition for
years. The roadway between Fridge
and Oak streets is to be macadamized
at the expense of the city, money for
this purpose having been appropriated
by virtue of an order recently passed
in the city council.
During a recent visit to Portland
Mayor Plaisted visited the officials of
the Maine Central Railroad and Sc
cured an agreement from them to i'm
prove their property in this vicinity
The railroad company is to re point
the high stone wall which supports its
elevated roadway near the freight
house. The roadway itself ia to be
macadamized and a new guard railing
will be built in place of the old one
which now performs service. One of
the most welcome improvements to be
made will be the removal of the bill
boards which have long been regarded
as an eye-sore by the merchants whose
places of business have means of en-
trance on Commercial street. Sever
al other smaller improvements will he
made and within a few weeks Com
mercial street promises to be one OF
the best maintained thOroughfares in
| the town district.

QUICK JUSTICE,
Men Accused Of Ringing False Alarm
Caught Lying and Fined $50 Each.

The two men who were arrested
Tuesday night by Deputy Marshal
Parmentcr on suspicion of having rung
in the false alarm from box 65, were
arraigned before Judge Andrews at the
municipal court room yesterday morn
ing. One of them, a negro, gave his
name as Dan II. Brown, and the other
as Leo +. Lynch. and both entered Il
plea of not guilty. Both claimed to
have been in bed at the Hartford House
at the time that the alarm was rlng
in, but that statement was proven false
by the testimony of Chief Engineer
Buckley. who visited the room at the
hotel where the men claimed to have
been in bed and found that the bed had
not been occupied that night.
The door to the room was
locked and it was ascertained
that tho men had left the house
by going out of the window.
Their shoes We're taken from them and
found to fit the the tracks leading to
and from the box. Deputy Parmentcr
testified to the arrest of the men and
of the conflicting stories told by them
The court did not hesitate to find them
guilty and imposed a fine of $50 each,
which is the limit provided by the ord
inances. and as neither had sou they
went up. The only regret of the court
was that the penalty was not moro in
keeping with the enormity Of the Of
tense.

FIRE AT EASTPORT.
About $500 Damage and Confagration
Narrowly Averted.

PASSPORT, Me, July 1S.-Eastport had
narrow escape from a serious confa-
grafton in the business section of the
city early Tuesday morning, when fire
w. Daggett's boarding house at the
rear of the SeaCoaSt building. The
flames spread rapidly through the up
per part Of the building and worked
through the rear wall of the SeacOaSt
headquarters, when it was finally
brought under control. The smoke was
quite dense and permeated several
buildings nearby. being particularly
thick in the Corthell building adjoin-
ing the Seacoast and the boarding
house of Mrs Gilchrist next to that
Of Mrs. Daggett.
The damage was heaviest where the
fire originated. the loss being estimated
at $4,000. Mrs. GilChrists damage is
$500; that Of D. Mcdonald, restaurant
keeper, $500; Seacoast Canning Co,
$1,000: Joseph Woods restaurant, 5000.
and the Orange Society. $500. 1t is I'M
derstOod that the insurance is ample to
cover the damage.
The fire is supposed to have started
from the careless dropping of a match
by a boarder in the Daggett house,
who felt the need of smoke at that
early hour in the morning. The fire.
men did great work in getting the blaze
under control so quickly and in con-
filming it to the west of wooden buildings
where it originated. Contrary to re-
ports the fire alarm was working all
right and the fircmen were promptly
on hand The Daggett boarding house
is owned by Peter Doyle of this city.

Brooklyn is peculiar in being a city

herself, without single first-class no.
eel of transient type. The family no.
tel, on the other hand, flourishes
nightly in Brooklyn. For some rea-
son this kind of place never seems to
need, or at any rate to get, a landlord.
The visible source of authority is a
pale, nervous and overworked clerk,
who i'll replaces the stout, dignified,
well-poised, comfortable figure that
old-fashioned people instinctively ex-
pect to meet in a landlord. Breslin

years, is out of debt for the first time
IN Its history. 1t is spending more
than $16, 1000 year in it's work.
Indianapolis will have the 1nterna-
t1onal meeting of Young Mems Chris
t1an association societies, which brings
together between 500 and 1900 workers
from the United States, Canada and
Mexico, next May.
Native Protestant Christians In In
Ola have formed a national home mis-
slonary society to evangelize their own
country. The society will be admins
tered wholly by Indian natives, in har-

In that land.

suls general. While congress did not
authorize in this measure the practical
civil service recommended by Secre-
tary Root, it is understood that the
policy Of the administration will be to
adopt civil service methods in future
appointments. Already they have re-
quired candidates for appointments to
pass an examination fully as rigid az
the civil service commission would de-
wise. The president has let it be
known also that after this bill be-
comes a law the appointments in the
future will be only to the lower
grades Of consul and that the higher
places will be filled by promotion as
vacancies occur.
There is another reform that has
not yet been accomplished, but which
is being strongly urged by business
organizations and those who demand
that the American consular service
shall be filled by Americans. In an ad-
dress recently submitted to congress
by Minister Barratt on the subject Of
Americans needed as vice and dep
uty consuls,' he tells the following
rather startling facts: OF 60 con-
sulates general, 20, or oae~third, have
vice or deputy consuls who are not
Americans. OF 225 consulates, 11s, or
half, have vice or deputy consuls who
are not Americans either by birth,
naturalization or residence. OF IL
commercial agencies, nine, or two
thirds, have nonresident vice and
deputy commercial agents. OF six
consulates where the incumbents are
permitted to engage in business, two
have foreign or deputy vice consuls
and one has a consul who is not an
American. OF Al consulates and COM
mercial agencies where the officers are
paid by fees and allowed to engage
in business, Is, or over one-half, have
vice or deputy consuls who are not
Americans, while in six cases the con-
suls or agents are foreigners. /.

Japanese postage stamps are rated
as the most artistic in the world;
there is great demand for them in
London at present. The first stamps
were issued in 1871. There are few
rare ones, the highest price ever
