HIDDEN WEALTH OF INDIA

It would be an immense benefit to
all mankind If the stores of gold now
held by individuals in India could be
made available for general use. Ever
since the dawn of history that coun-
try has been gathering and hiding it
away. Treasures of almost incalcu-
liable value are possessed by many In
dian princes, says Spare Moments.
When the maharajah of Burdewar
died the stock of gold and silver left
by him was so large that no member
of the family could make an accurate
estimate of it. A report made to the
British government by a secret agent
stated that on the estate of the de-
funct potentate were a number of
treasure houses, one of them contain
ing three rooms. The largest of these
three rooms was forty-eight feet long
and was filled with ornaments of god
and silver, plates and cups, washing
bowls, jugs and SO forth-all of pre-
cious metals. The two other rooms
were full of bags and boxes of gold
mohurs and silver rupees. The door
of this and other treasure houses had
been bricked up for nobody knows
how long.

These valuables. according to an
ancient custom, were in the custody
of the maharajah's wife, the vaults be-
ing attached to her apartments, but
none of them was allowed to be
opened save il the presence of the
master. One vault was filled with
ornaments belonging to different god
of the family. The natives of India
commonly bury their boards and
among the poorer classes a favorite
hiding place is a hole dug beneath
the bed. Disused wells are some
times employed for the same purpose.
1t is undoubtedly fact that many
boards thus deposited are lost for
ever. Gold is also valued on religious
grounds. The gods take up grea.
quantities of gold. silver. and precious
stones. The temples contain vast
amounts of the yellow and white met
ais. The habit of boarding seems TO
have been induced by ages of misgov-
ernment, during which oppression and
violence were rife. No feeling OF
safety existing, it was natural that
the natives should adopt the practice
of reducing their wealth to concen-
trated shape and hiding it.

ANCIENT CHAIRS IN SALEM

Once upon a time there lived in Ss-

Salem, spent a night at the home o:
Mr.. Ward, and spent in the northeast
chamber of the fine, brick house.
Among the furnishing of his room
were several beautiful Hepplewhite
chairs. One of these chairs-said
be the chair in which Washington sat
to record his Impressions Of Salem in
his diary-is now treasured in one of
the 9city's noted homes. 1t was while

In the home of Daniel Low, in Es-
sex street, the old cabinet house,
where Mrs. Joseph ]. Chamberlain
made her home as Miss Endicott,

is more than $50 years old, and has

Enoch Bown, tall, stalwart and
healthy, carrying upon his shoulders
the weight of 79 years, holds the un-
disputed distinction of being the old
est locomotive engineer in the world.
He lives at Amagaria, Ont, a settle
ment few steps from Bridgeburg.
Enoch Bown is an Englishman by
birth. His native town is Lancashire,
England, three miles from Manchester
He was born Oct. IA, 1926. In those
days railroads were scorned by many
people. Enoch Bown was only IA
years old when he began railroading
He secured a position as helper on
the old London & Birmingham, now
the Northwestern railway. He worked
at plate laying. Nowadays they call
it section building. When II years
old he quit and began serving an ap-
premiership to a mechanic and in
1S47 became a fireman on the road
which first gave him employment.
Soon he gained experience and the
confidence of the managers and was
appointed engineer. Enoch Bown
knows all about running a locomo-
tive using wood blocks for fuel 1t
was hard and troublesome work in
those days.

In 1857. with seven years successful
experience as an engineer, then pa
years old, Enoch Bown was seized
with the desire to cross the Atlantic,
so he moved to Canada, Immediately
securing an appointment as engineer
on the old Great Western. He re-
between Niagara Falls, London anG1
Windsor. He also engineered on the
Buffalo & Lake Huron. These lines
have since been improved and ac-
quired by the Grand Trunk. His ia.
miliarity with the iron steeds which
had been his life's companions
brought about his appointment in 1872
as foreman of engines of the Grand
Trunk lines. He held this position
for a quarter of a century and found
himself IL years old and ready for re-
tirement.
He decided to work some more,
and was soon picked up to operate
the dummy car on the International
bridge. For eight years this fine
looking and gray-whiskered engineer
was daily seen at his post, but Jan.

lives quiet life among his friends

LIGHTNING AND NO cLoUD

1t frequently happens that during
severe storms the wires of the diff
ferent public service corporations,
such as electric light, electric street
railway, telephone and telegraph COM
panies, become entangled at different
points, and consequently the wires
utilized for carrying but light cur
rents become charged with the much
heavier and dangerous currents.
To this condition serious accidents
are sometimes due; again, ludicrous
conditions arise where no particular
harm is done, except to the feelings
of the participants.
Some years ago such a storm swept
over the territory between Boston
and Portland, Me-, and, after some
hours of duration had mixed matters
generally. The following day was

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

That there is an established law
of fco-ordination between two forces
that is eternal. is well known by
every student of science and phil
osophy. That this law applies
to things human as well as physi-
cal is also well understood. The
recent action of the school board
of Wichita, Kansas and the Su-
preme Court decision upholding
the separation of schools in Kan
sas City Kansas is evidence of the
operation of the law of cause and
effect.
However much The Plaindeal
er of Topeka or the Searchlight Of
Wichita may say against the in
fanny of this decision, it remains
potent that the Negroes of Kansas
are "reaping what they have
sown." 1t is a dangerous propo-
sition for colored people in a free
state like Kansas to appeal to a
Legislature for funds to build and
operate a separate school. Indus
trial or otherwise and get the
money and then complain when
the consequent resultant follows a
separation of schools all along the
line. While the COLORADO
STATESMAN eternally opposed to
separate schools, yet it cannot
help seeing that the colored peo-
pie of Kansas are just now receiv-
ing what they have bargained for.
A seperate school must inevitably
follow a seperate school fund.
This is consistent with logic, reas
son, law and common sense.
While we sympathize with the
Plaindealer and Searchlight and
the people of Kansas in their con-
tention yet we cannot help accept
ing the logic of the situation, for
instance two weeks ago the Wich-
tia Searchlight published sting
ing rebuke on the action of their
local school board in separating
the children in the public schools
and on the front page of the same
issue of their paper printed the
cut and three columns of laudation
of the Great Negro University,
which was built and is being sup
ported by funds from the Public
Treasury. 1t seems to us from a
distance that the editor of the
Searchlight is very short sighted
not to discover that the colored
people of Kansas have now gotten
that for which they bargained.
