OF an Old SILK Petticnat

The girl with nothing a year should
know that silk petticoats and Innings
when reduced TO shreds and utterly
unequal to their first purpose can be
utilized for millinery OF Corday and
other shapes with very little picking
over. The ruffies or goffered portions
which remain intact are specially serv-
iceable. One girl who is wearing a
very becoming silk hat of this kind
for theater and other evening affairs

of far reaching effect, not only to the

Marin Arrested.

Buffalo, N. Y.-Francis E. Marin,
one oft he principal figures in the
Storey Cotton Company failure in
Philadelphia in 1905, was arrested here
in the lobby ofthe Genesee Hotel.
Marin disappeared from Philadelphia
on March IL, 1905, when the Postoffice
Department raided the Storey Cotton
Company, and since then he has been
in Europe. He came back to Anne
RIGA but few weeks ago, and the Wig
il the postoffice authorities have kept
for nearly two years ending with his
arrest.
Marin arrived in Buffalo three
days ago. He registered at the Cen
esee under the name of Jas. john
stone. W. J. Hickey, Postofice In
spector at Washington, had been trac-
ing Marin s movements since his re-
turn to this country, and today Post
office Inspector Cortelyou, who has
charge of the Philadelphia district,
came to Buffalo to get his man.
"It's all off," was Marrin's only
comment when the officers located
him and placed him under arrest.
Later he consented to waive extradi-
ton, did not want an attorney and
said he wanted to get back to Phila-
delphia as soon as the Inspector
would take him there.

Spanish Treasury.

What is believed to be a portion OF
a Spanish treasury buried years ago
was dug up several days ago by Louis
Washington, a negro laborer, while
he was digging the foundation tor
Tony Doherty's house in North Street
Baton Rouge. While digging the foun-
dation, several feet below the surface
Washington turned up three old Span
ish coins, all of which are rare. One
of the coins was dated 1777, and there
was stamped upon it likeness OF
Carlos III. There was also smaller
coin, which apparently was dated l7o4
although it was worn so smooth that
the date was hardly discernable. The
third coin Washington says that he
misplaced, but he claims that it was
older than either of the two that he
has now in his possession. The sec
ton of Baton Rouge in which those
old coins were found was a portion
of the old Spanish toown in which the
first Spanish houses were located.
There have been reports among the
older residents that treasure OF great
value was buried here by Spanish
commanders during the early days
when the city was under the Spanish
rule, and it is believed that these
coins were a part of their treasure.

Fraught With Danger.

New York.-From now on, it is de-
clared here, it behooves the United
States to be extremely careful in deal
ing with the Cuban question. Develop
ments reveal an ugly situation fraught
with danger to both countries. What
ever solution may be had, whether the
United States establishes a protecto-
rate or makes way for another Cuban
republic, "a revolution is not the worst
result that now threatens. There is
a conspiracy on foot to blow up Eng
lish railway poperty with dynamite
if after the contemplated election the
United States hands the Government
over to the Liberals and ends its con-
tro lof affairs. This is the sworn plan
of a large body Of influential and
wealthy Cubans to force England to
compel the United States to continue
supervisory government. One Gu
ban tells me he has five hundred
pounds of dynamite which he will
use for this purpose, and that bands
of radical Cubans here and in Cien-
fuegos have been formed to do the
same with American sugar estates.
On the other side, Juan Gualberto
Gomez, negro leader Of vast ma
jority of the Liberals, is out with an
open threat of revolution if the Ame-
ricans do not go away on time ana
leave the Government to the Cuban
people. His fire was Drawn by the

The usually quiet and easy-going
but progressive city of fernando, De
Soto county has kick or complaint
before the railroad commission, and
one to which there is believed to be
some foundation and substance. They
have petition before the railroad com
mission setting forth the fact that
while they have well defined home
feeling and are in love with their lit
tie town, they sometimes wish to trav-
ell, and their only mode of doing so IS
either by vehicle or the Illinois Cen
tral trains. There are, the petition
states eight trains each day passing
through, coming and going and yet
only two of them stop, and the COM
mission is asked to exercise its power
and offices and endeavor to bring
about some improvement. The matter
has been docketed for December.
