TOPEKA WOMAN LOST FURs.
Mrs. Dorothy Pope Robbed by Maid
Receivers Property.

A Topeka woman, according to the
Denver Post, figures in a burglary case
which occurred there Monday. Mrs.
Dorothy Pope whose name is given
claims to be a resident of Topeka but
her name does not appear in the city
directory. The Post says:
A beautiful set of sable furs was
stolen yesterday afternoon from Mrs
Dorothy Pope of Topeka, Kan. who has
been visiting friends and relatives at 229
Fourteenth street for the past month.
Mrs Pope was leaving for California
last night and had a maid in her en-
pIoy for several days assisting her to
make ready. About 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon as AIRS. Pope was dressing to
go down town she heard someone knock
at the door, and, as she was not in a
very presentable condition, she stepped
into the closet, closed the door, and said,
4sCone in" thinking it was the express
man who had come to take her things to
the depot. She gave him directions
from her place of concealment as to
where the things were and what to take.
She then heard some one say: i guess
these furs viii do me more good than
they viii her.
Mrs. Pope Immediately came forth
only to have the door slammed in her
face, and, looking down the street fSs5m
the window, she saw her maid hurryins
with her furs which she valued al $3.50.
| She notified the sheriff, who found the
woman with the furs.

ACCOUNTS NOT Right.
Heir to Ogden Two Million Dollar
Estate Starts a Lawsuit.

New York, Feb. 7.-F'rancis S. White
house, wife of William Fitzhugh White
house and a niece of William B. ogden,
has begun proceedings in the surrogate's
court to have set aside a decree signed
on November %. 1901, by which the ac-
counts of the executors and trustees of
the Ogden estate were approved. Mrs.
Whitehouse bases her application on the
admissions made by a clerk in the en-
ploy of the late Andrew H. Greene that
he had forged certain deeds and mort
gages and so defrauded the estate out
Of about $4,000.
William B. Ogden, who was the first
mayor of Chicago and also president of
the Chicago Milwaukee & st. Paul Rail-
way company, died in 1877, leaving a
large fortune which he tied up for the
life time Of his widow, who died in
september, 1904. She and Mr.. Greene
were the surviving executors and the
property had increased under their man
dgement until it amounted to So. 727. 1876
When the accounts OF the executors
We're last passed upon they were made
up m MI Green's Office ard when the
clerk confessed after Mr.. Green's death
70 ms forgeries, it came out that these
Ialslhcations had entered into the Ogden
accounts Green was murdered by a
negro in November. 1903.
The many heirs under the wills OF
both Mr.. and Mrs. Ogden are interested
IN the present proceedings and it is ex-
pected that there viii be much litigation
before the final accounting can be made
ana restitution exacted from the estates
of the executors.

RAzORS OF COPPER.
Farmer Discovers the Lost Art of
Tempering This Metal

New London, Conn, Feb. AFTER
many years of experiment and study,
Frederick Morgan, q. young farmer Nv
ing at Lakes Pond, a small village
seven miles from this city, declares that
he has found the long-lost art of tenn
pering copper to a degree of hardness
that will make it a substitute for STEEL
It was seven years ago that Mr. Nor
gan, who is only "a years old, read IN
patent attorneys pamphlet that tenn
pering copper was a lost art and de-
termined to learn the secret. His fatheS
is well to do, with about $4,000 made in
his grocery store. The son has had All
the money he has needed for his expert
ments.
While the other young farmers of
the vicinity have been willing away
their leisure hours at the postofI1ce
and general country store, where
young Morgan has been clerk for his
father, the youthful chemist has had
d crucible as his companion in his
workshop. surrounded by rods and
bars of bright copper and miseel-
! laueOus assortment of receptacles
that contained mysterious ingredients
of a gritty and saponaceous nature.
ssFred's a-tinkerin' and expert
i mentin' with that old copper idea of
/ hiS'n," remarked one Of the farmer
/ lads in Morgan's district recently, but
he's only a-wastin' of his time and
money. Big men with bigger brains
than his'n have failed time and ag'i in
/ to harden copper so as it could take
the place Of steel"
Believing. that he had at last found
! the true secret of tempering the
metal. Mr.. Morgan paid a visit last
week to DR.. E. Cornet of UncasviiIe,
an authority on mineralogy, and took
/ with him a chisel-shaped piece OF
| copper that had been treated by his
new process.
The metal had the natural color of
pure copper, but when DR.. Cornet test
ed its cutting qualities he was surprised
| at the result. The chisel showed a re-
| markedly hard temper and a block of
| wood "a section of stone and an iron
plate from a stove were all Clipped as
easily as a well sharpened tool would
do the work.
After illustrating the rougher qualities
of the copper clisel MI Morgan whetted
the implement on a. grindstone and, af-
ter bringing the tool down to a finer
edge, demonstrated that wet paper
could be sliced or hairs shaved with
the copper tempered chisei as easily as
one could cut with a steel blade.
None of Mr.. Morgan's relatives has
the remotest idea of the young mans
secret. Arrangements have been under
way to place the discovery on a COM
mereial basis. Morgan's pet idea seems
to have been to make copper razors
and after having succeeded in getting
just the right temper for razors he COM
municated with a manufacturing con-
Germ and received word that no one
wanted copper razOrs.
