OLD LEE BIBLE RESTORED.
Daughter Of Confederate General Re
covers Volume Lost During
Civil War.

Washington.-A Bible which be-
1onged to Martha Washington and
which was taken from the home Of the
Lee family at Arlington, Va. has been
restored to Miss Mary Curtis Lee,
daughter of Gen. Robert f. Lee, by
@. w. Kendrick, Jr., of Philadelphia.
1t is supposed that the Bible was
stolen from Arlington some time dur
ing the civil war. It came into Mr..
Hendricks possession many years ago
through purchase from a man Of the
name Of Stein. Mr.. Kendrick handed
1t to Miss Lee recently.
The Bible was printed in London
In 1902 by Charles Bell and the exc
cutors of Thomas Newcombe, deceased,
printers to the Kings Most Excellent
Majesty" It ia bound in black
leather and is In an excellent state Of
preservation. The earliest birth re-
corded in It is that of Fanny Parks
Curtis, In 1710. The birth Is also re.
corded of Daniel Park Curtis, I'LL,
and there is record Of his marriage
to Martha cambridge, who afterward
became the wife of George Washing
ton. There is no record of the mar
riage of Gen. Washington and Mrs
/ Curtis. In the book are many pressed
| leaves and flowers placed there by
members Of the Lee family.

ARsENlcAL FOOD coLoRlNos
Government Chemist Says Manufac-
turers Often Use the
Poison.

Washington.-Prof II. w. Wiley.
chier OF the bureau OF chemistry OF the
agricultural department, made public
an exposition OF the extent of food
adulteration in this country, showing
that arsenic often is used in coloring
matter.
"As far as their application to the
preparation of foods Is concerned, coal
tar colors have been fopnd to be much
more satisfactory from a technical
standpoint than the pure vegetable COL
ors," the report says. They are read
lily soluble, are cheap and withstand
the action of light and time much bet
ter.
"In addition TO any influence on di-
gestion and health which the coal tar
colors may have, a certain amount of
arsenic is added 10 them by some
methods of preparation. In this con-
nection It must be borne in mind that
the amount of coloring matter neces-
sary to give a food the desired tint is
very small and the danger to health re-
sulting from its use should not be eX-
aggerated The question of fraud,
however, remains, and the use of col
ors enables the manufacturer to give
inferior products the appearance OF
high priced goods"

GETS SECOND BAPTISM.
Old "Aunty" in Pastors Family Ac-
cidentally Takes Another
Immersion.

Owensboro, Ky.-Despite the fact
that she was baptized more than 40
years ago, Aunt Mary Washington was
recently rebaptized at the First Chris
tian church, the other day.
Aunt Mary is an aged negro nurse
employed by Rev. r. p. Crossfleld, pas
tor OF the church. She took the Cross
field child to church and Il was the
first time she had been In the edifice.
One of the ushers directed her TO
the nursery. Aunt Mary misunder-
stood the directions and entered the
door to the baptismal pool 1t was
very dark in the room and she plunged
head first into water four feet in
depth. The congregation was sud.
denly startled by loud splash. accom-.
panied by screams for help.
Circuit clerk Bedford was the hero
Of the occasion. He ran to the bap
tismal room. He ruined a new suit
by wading in the pool and rescuine
the corpulent negro woman. She was
removed to the dressing room and
quickly revived.
AS the Christian church does not
believe in infant baptism the members
OF the congregation are congratulatinl
Mr.. Crossfield on the fact that the
nurse did not have the infant in hei
arms when she plunged in the pool.

New Orleans.-Three wills, drawn up
more than 40 years ago and put in

years in the old vault OF the Canal
bank building, recently demolished,

There is no such thing as race suicide
in Italy. Children are as thick as fieas

total population, or $4,000 persons,
live in l72,000 rooms. Thousands OF
these rooms have no light or ventila-
tion except through the entrance door.
A million dollars is to be spent in the
erection of 4S tenement houses, each of
which will contain 500 rooms, divided
into one, two and three room apart
ments. There are several sanitary
lodging houses which furnish good
quarters for 60 cents a week.

CREW FROZEN TO DEATH.
Long Missing Steamship Found in
Amur River Incased
in Ice.

'London.--With all hands dead on
board, the German steamship Soera-
baya, Russian blockade runner,
which had been missing for six
months, has been found near Nico-
laievsk, 25 miles up the Amur river.
The vessel was incased In ice and the
crew had been frozen TO death.
Early in the war the Soerabaya was
engaged in carrying coal To Japan.
Then she enetred the Russian service,
took on a cargo of arms and ammuni-
ton and undertook to elude the Jap
anese scouts and get into Vladivostok
with her supplies. She could not
pierce the blockade. To escape cap
ture she took refuge In the Amur
river.
This WAS in October, and the Soera-
bava was not heard of until the other
day, when natives of the desolate
Amur country came across her. locked
fast In the frozen river. The bodies
of the crew we're frozen stiff.

Change in Bronze Cent.

A change in the design of the small
bronze cent which has made its ap-
pearance each year since its adoption
IN 1864 is being considered by a con-
gressional committee and experiments
are also under way looking TO the use
of new metal-either pure nickel or
alrminum-to take the place of that
now used, which is 95 per cent copper
and five per cent. zinc. The contem-
plated change is the outcome of the
agitG ton in favor of new designs for
United States coins of all denomina-
tions, not single one of the present
series seeming to meet with general
favor. Expert numismatists go so far
as TO say that never in the history Of
the country has 1t been represented
by less artistic set OF coins.

LUCK IN TEXAS OIL FIELDS
Land Owners Said to Have Made
More Money Than the
Operators.

Humble, Textile oil operators are
trying to locate new oil fields in Tex
as. Since the original discovery of oil
at Spindle Top they have been for
tunate in discovering new fields, one
after the other, to take the place OF
the exhausted oil districts
When the output of Spindle Top was
at low ebb the Sour lake field was
discovered. The heavy production OF
the Sour lake field had fallen off when
oil was discovered at Batson. The
Batson field was heavy producer for
nearly a year.
Salt water made its appearance in
the wells. the oil supply was shut off
and oil was discovered at Humble. All
of Batson moved here, causing q
town of several thousand people to
spring up almost in one night on the
spot where before there had been only
a blacksmith shop and one store.
The oil production of the Humble
field has been falling OF rapidly OF
late. All the larger operators, there
fore, are wildcatting for new oil fields
It is considered practically certain
that a new field will be discovered
soon.
The bringing of an oil well in wild
cat territory is a signal for land values
to go soaring. During the height o.
the boom of Spindle Top land in tn,
proved oil territory sold in lots of one
eighth of an acre for 100000, or a
the rate Of s1,60O,000 an acre. Tha
| price has never been reached in any o
the other fields. but It is not unusua
for small tracts to sell for as much a
$1,000 an acre.
Some big fortunes have been mad
by the original owners of lands II
these oil fields. Men who had beef
eking out bare existence at farming
and would have been glad to sell ou
for FIVE dollars an acre found thei
land suddenly worth hundreds of dol
lars an acre
II is said that these original Ian
owners have made more out of the oi
discoveries In Texas during the las
five years than the oil operators them
selves. There are many instances Q
these sudden fortunes

SHIRTS POISON SKIN
CHEAP CoLoRED GARMENTS A
MENACE TO HEALTH.
Chicago Physicians Inveigh Against
Underwear offered for Sale
by Constituencies
Dealers.

Chicago.-That the cheap shirt sales
are a source Of danger to the public
health was brought out by a discussion
between four physicians who had ex-
pected to be present at meeting OF
the Chicago Medical society. The four
physicians had prepared short pa
per each on the danger accruing from
the use of the cheap clothing which Is
being disposed Of at reduced prices by
various secondhand and other clothiers
over the city.
Foremost among the papers was that
of DR.. Charles A. Motter. DR.. Motter
has been investigating the coloring OF
/ the pink shirts which have been
quoted at 80 to 40 cents at various
/ clothing stores of the city for some
| time and In every instance, he states,
he has found that the coloring of the
cheap pink shirts has been poisonous
and especially deleterious If worn
next to the skin, as is the case with
most of the laboring men and others
who buy cheap shirts.
Underwear, especially in summer
time," said DR.. Motter, Us luxury In
which the poor do not indulge. The
colored shirts, especially the pink
ones, are a source of poison because
they come next the skin. The
coloring matter, which contains a
large percentage Of poison, comes In
contact with the skin and the poison
is transferred to the blood through the
pores. Many cases of blood poisoning
which have been referred to other
causes, many of them of supposedly
internal nature, can be traced TO our
39-cent shirts.
pink Is the most dangerous color
in the cheap garments. The blues and
grays are the least dangerous, al
though there are some ingredients OF
blue shirts, especially of the calico
pattern, which II worn next q sweaty
skin will produce all the symptoms oi
blood poisoning. A red shirt If worn
by a laboring man next his skin Is al
most sure to cause diseases of the
cuticle, If not diseases of the blood.
"1f poor people could be made tc
understand the value of wearing a
least a light suit of underwear be
meath any colored shirts, no matte
from whom purchased, the problem o
skin diseases would he simplified, 4
say the least, and believe that bloot
diseases would be much less frequent
, The matter of bathing among tn,
poor has little to do with the problem
OF cheap shirts, according to DIR. Mot
ter The main efforts OF physicians
: should be directed toward interesting
the poor in the value of the use o
cheap white underwear which, II 4
claimed, is not In vogue among tn
purchasers of the mighty colored an,

An effort will shortly be made to in
