OPENS AT CUMBERLAND
MEETING OF THE EPISCOPAL

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
CUMBERLAND, Nd. May 80, 1906.
The 123d annual session of the diocese
of Maryland, Protestant Episcopal Church,
opened In Cumberland at Emmanuel Epis-
copal Church this morning. All the clergy
of Baltimore and the churches on the
western shore Of Maryland. except from
st. Mary, Prince George. Charles and
Montgomery counties, are in attendance.
The convention opened with the celebra-
ton of holy communion. which was ad-
ministered by Rt. Rev. william Paret. ID.
D.. LII. D.. bishop OF Maryland, who is
presiding over the elaboration of the con-
vention. Bishop Paret arrived last night.

delegates. and were taken to the homes OF

sentatfves of the executors were sent to
Toronto to secure the package, and 1t was
opened in the directors room of the trust
company In the presence of its manager
Everybody believed the package to contain
stocks, registered bonds or Jewels or per-
haps both. The outside wrapper was Sc
cured with seven seals of ordinary red
sealing wax, evidently done by person
unaecustomed TO such things. 1t bore the
owners name and address in her handwrit-
ing. and In the upper iefthand corner were
written the words. Contents valuable. To
be retained until called for" After remov
ing several unnecessary wrappers, an or
binary corset box from French factory
was disclosed which was also tied with
string and secured with two seals. The
cover was inscribed with the name and adj
dress of the deceased In her own handwrit-
ing.
When the string was cut and the cover
removed everybody present was amazed to
find the box contained nothing but pair
OF brand-new corsets, of French manufac-
ture just from the shop. They had not
even been laced. There were no valuables
whatever. and no explanation.
The deceased lady was in no way peculiar
or eccentric. She Is described to have been
lust an ordinary sort OF an everyday
woman" well educated. accustomed to
good society, the widow of a successful
manufacturer in the midiands of England,
ter, all well educated, sensible everyday
people. While she was not especially Sc
rious woman. she was not given to prac-
teal jokes any kind of trifiing. She was
exceedingly exact and business-Iike In all
her dealings: very particular about money
matters, and kept detailed account Of her
expenses. She was. however rather more
given to accommodating money than to
spending it or giving 1t away. and always
was secretive about her affairs. Her sons
did not know as much about her money
matters az her bankers.
There has been no clue discovered. The
mystery of the corset box win probably
never be solved. There Is a theory thar the
lady was deceived and robbed by some
servant or attendant or some one esse who
saw her place securities or Jewels in a cor
set box TO take to the bank and substituted
another for it. If the corsets had ever
been worn the owner would have missed
them. but the thief might might easily
supply q new pair without her detecting the
trick. However, the members OF her family
do not recall any person ever associated
with her who could have been guilty OF de-
ceiving her In that way.

JAPANESE OF EUROPE"
In Last Decade Italy Has Made Best
Progress-constantly Gain
ing in Trade.

OF European countries Italy
has, comparatively, made the
greatest progress in the last dec.
ade. Italian finances are now in
healthy state and most Of the
bonds of the government, of the
railroads and the municipalities.
etc, held abroad, have been
bought back or redeemed.
The savings of the Italian peo-
pie show large gains: manufae.
turing industries have increased
amazingly. The abundant water
power is beginning to be used fol-
industrial purposes, largely for
the creation of electric energy.
Within the last decade the expor.
tation Of manufactured oods has
advanced from $31, ,400, 900 to $80.-
100000 The cotton factories not
only supply the home demand, but
export heavily to the Levantine
countries and to South America
Another cause Of the better
ment of Italy is the accumulation
of property by the Italian emi
grants in the United States. Bra
zil, Argentina and other coun.
tries. Every year a large part Of
their earnings is sent home to rel
atives and for investment. One
half of the Italian emigrants re.
turn to their native country after
they have saved a competency.
Some economists see in the ItaI
ians the japanese of Europe
They are constantly gaining il
trade with Turkey and other coun
tries of the Levant, and they have
strong aspirations for getting col
0nies in Asia Minor and Africa.
