DIG UP OLD SLAVE PEN.
Philadelphia Tunnel Borers Find
Underground Dungeons.

Philadelphia - Subway workmen,
digging for the foundations of the new
tunnel station, uncovered, at a depth
of 100 feet, what is plainly an old
slave prison. The pen Is composed of
narrow cells in three tiers, with three
foot corridors between. Heavy iron
bars covered the windows and in each
cell were manacle supports.
Directly above the prison is the
house of the late Stephen Girard, an
eccentric rich man, who gave Girard
college to Philadelphia. 1t has long
been handed down in local history
that Girard drove brisk slave trade
and that the basis of his gigantic for
tune came from that source. The
estate is now estimated at several mil
lions.
Girard came to Philadelphia in 1774.
In the war of 1912 he made his his
torical loan to finance the country.
After that he worked among the vel
low fever victims in Philadelphia
after nearly every one else had fed
the city. The origin of his fortune
has always been a mystery.
The old Girard house is within half
a block of the Delaware river, from
which secret access would have been
easy.
John w. Jordan, librarian of the
Pennsylvania Historical society, said
that he had recently visited slave
dungeons under an old house In Elk
ton, Md, which correspond exactly to
those found to-day.
A curious circumstance connected
with the discovery is that for years
legend of haunting has hung around
old Water street, between Market and
Arch. Stories of underground shrieks,
chain rafting, blows, and all the other
manifestations have been told. Houses
near the old Girard place could not be
rented because of this.

ARIZONA SOCIETY TORN UP OVER
NEW GAME OF CHANCE.
in Favor Now by the Women of
Yuma--Rules of the Game.

Yuma, Ariz.-The high society of
this town is all torn up over the evil
effects of the flip bug craze. Not since
Bill Baker ran off to Sonora with
Bonesy Swans wife ard Bonesy's four
children has Yuma had such a shake
down of it's best social set. 1t is all
due to Mrs. Isaac Steppacher's mother,
Sonora Chiquita Salvadores y Casabi-
anca, of Magdalena, state of Sonora,
Mexico, and the common flip bug Of
the Mojave desert.
Sonora Casabianca Is a Mexican of
the old Castilian lineage. The flip bug
is a species of beetle. Sonora Casabi-
anca's chief characteristic is a love for
rare forms of gambling. The flip bug g
only interesting feature is his peculiar
ability to jump about two feet in the
air when prodded with toothpick.
About two months ago Sonora Casa
blanca came up from Magdalena to
pay a visit to her daughter and hec
son-in-law, ike" Steppacher, who is
the "well-know1 and popular night
clerk" in the Golden Eagle hotel, near
the railroad station. About a week
after Sonora Casabianca arrived Mrs.
Steppacher sent out cards to the So
ciety folk inviting them to little
afternoon affair. On the bottom of
the cards, which were the best speci-
mems of the Weekly Scorpions fine
engraving work, were the words Flip
Bug" in old English type.
On the day of the reception the
guests came early. Mrs. Steppacher
did not keep them in suspense. After
passing around the frappe mescal she
introduced the ladies TO her mother
| and then led them into the library. In
the middle of the room stood q

The Jew and Others.


Many observers have noted csc
large number of Jews in the colleges
and professional schools of America,
and have prophesied that in time n
large proportion of the members Of
the learned professions will be men of
Jewish descent Sometimes they have
talked about the superiority of the
Jewish intellect. One of the most
noted Jews in America has lately de.
MED that the men of his race are SUI
perior to the men of other races. He
says that every one desires the things
that are withheld, and that the way
to make the family live is to confront
It with hardships and prosecutions.
The hardships develop the powers

need to look to the Jew alone for
proof that early denial of opportunity

Companion. 1t is the country boy,
spending his youth where the field is
limited, and dreaming of wider worlds
to conquer, who rises to the top in
the city. The city Is to him not q
place for amusement, but a place for

COUNTY HUNTS INDIANS GOLD.
Old Map Shows Where Black Hawk
Buried His Money.

Fairfield, 1a.-All Jefferson county
is now engaged in u mad hunt for the
buried gold Of old Chief Black Hawk,
n clew to which was not long ago
discovered in tearing down the ruins
of an old log cabin. 1t was while
workmen were engaged in destroying
the cabin built in 1888 by Rhodham
Bonnifield that they found an ink
horn, quill case and musty old pocket
book. The pocketbook contained an
1928 newspaper clipping, a ohysician's
recipe and letter. his letter,
though badly faded, was read with
the help of a magnfying glass. 1t
was written at San Francisco, ad

The landmarks on the map are re-

posed that Black Hawk received this
gold in payment from the govern
ment for some consideration. There
is an old story about the county that
three braves were given the task of
finding a hiding place for this money,
three being chosen so that, If one or
two of them should be killed. the sur
vivors could tell where the treasure
was buried And 1t happened, all
three OF these Indians were killed
not long after, and this Is said to
be the reason why the gold was

At a recent inquest in Pennsyl-

the usual swearing in, arose and with
much dignity protested against serv-
ice, alleging that he was the general
manager of an important concern and
was wasting valuable time by sitting
as a juror at an inquest.
The coroner turning to his clerk,
said: "Mr. Morgan, kindly hand me
'Jervis' (the authority on juries)."
Then, after consulting the book, the
coroner observed to the unwilling
juror:
Upon reference to 'Jervis, l find,
sir, that no persons are exempt from
service as jurors except idiots, imbe-
Giles and lunatics. Now, under which
