POWER OF THE NEWSPAPER

MO man in the United States is great
M enough to resist the power of the
newspaper, says the Peoria Qll)
Star. No man is strong enough to with
stand the enmity of any number of lead
ing journals. The secret history by which
the late John ]. ingalls, lost his power and
influence is one of the most striking illus
trations of the truth that it does not be-
come any man to be false to his obliga-
tons and to lie to the newspapers In
1892 when ingalls, was senator from Kan
sas, and was at the height of his fame,
he entered into a contract with a syndi-
cate of newspapers, embracing the SYRIA
cuse Herald, the Chicago Tribune, the
Alta Californian, the Louisville Courier
Journal, and papers of similar standing
throughout the United States, under the
terms of which he was to write a series
of ten letters at $1,000 a letter. The SUBJ
iects were: IAN Interview with Glad
stone" AN Interview with Tolstoi," and
eight letters along similar lines. The con-
tract was drawn up, ana Senator In
gals was paid $500 in cash and a ticket
purchased for him from New York TO
Liverpool. In addition, he was to be paid
his expenses. Most people would think
that this was a pretty good contract, and
would have tried to earn the money but
Ingalls, paid no attention to the repeated
requests for it's fulfillment. He took the
money and the ticket, and after two
months wrote hasty, ill-considered, fool
ish letter, and turned a deaf ear to all
requests from the syndicate Then the
editors got busy, and Jenkins, of the SYRIA

papers of the syndicate copied it; then
the Alta Californian wrote another, with
criticism so forcible and so just that it

WHY He Wanted a Lower.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Fred Prince has had long experience
in assigning berths to passengers, ana
has become familiar with all possible ex-
cuses to avoid the second story.
..Give me a lower is the usual re-
quest, and thereupon the passenger uses
some expressive smile to show his opin-
ion of the "sky chamber.
A hardened old miner came in yester-
dav on the way east, and wanted a
berth All the lower ones had been al
lotted.
.Come, put me in the AISLE" said the
disguised treasure-seeker. DO you think
am a cliff dweller?'

FIND COLO IN
A CHIMNEY

Various sums of money were found
by workmen in the old dwelling on
the Neff property in Middletown, Fred
erick county, which is being extensive
ly repaired by the new owner, Lew
Flock.
While Carroll Feete was working at
the old bake oven, he pulled the one
loose brick out of the chimney and,
reaching back in the opening drew
forth an old, rusty tin coffee essence
box. He shook it, and the contents
ratified.
Others gathered around and in few
minutes the lid was knocked from the
box and out rolled a pile of gold and
silver coins. In this collection was one
ten dollar gold piece of the coinage of
1S05-just 100 years old, but bright and
shining, nevertheless. The box also
contained one SO gold piece of 1854, one

two silver half dollars of the years
1901 and 1919, one 1919 cent piece Of
1879, two three cent pieces so smooth
that dates could not be made out.
The coins, when put in the box, were
wrapped in a piece of muslin, but there
were only small fragments of this left.
The money was turned over to Mr..
Flock.
William Gaylor, While working in the
old house. pulled thirty-six silver quar-
tiers out of an apparent rat hole at the
head of stairway. A few days later
four pairs of new scissors, wrapped in
paper, were found sticking in the raft
ers in the garrett A number of gold
dollars have been dug up in garden
bed on Mr.. John Gardeners property
adjoining the Neff property from time
to time during the last six or eight
years.
Before the war Mr. Jacob Neff, an
aged bachelor, conducted a general
store in the basement room of the
property now being repaired by Mr.
Flock and he did a big business.
