HIIIegas, First Treasurer.

A great many people have wondered
why the picture of Michael HiIlegas. first
Treasurer Of the United States. appears
on the new yellow-backed ten-dollar bills
after the many decades during which no
recognition Of the services of that faith
ful official was forthcoming. 1t seems
that the belated testimonial to the man
whose services to his country were ad-
mittedly worthy Is due to a descendant,
the Rev. Michael Lee Ninich, a Lutheran
minister, and to Former Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw and the late John Hay
Mr. Hay and Mr.. Shaw both interested
themselves in the matter of claims that
either Robert Morris or Samuel Meredith,
and not Hillegas, was the first Treasurer.
and from the government archives OBJ
tained proof Of the correctness Of the con-
tention of Rev. Mr. Minieh and others
who defended the cause of HilIegas
Mr.. Hillegas was a sugar rehner, iron
manufacturer, and merchant in Phila-
delphia before the revolutionary war. He
placed his funds and his credit at the dis
posal Of George Washington when that
patriot needed assistance. and Ii was but
natural that he should have been given
the post of Treasurer when the infant re-
public came into being. Mr.. Hilegas'
fad was historical research, and he was
very fond of music.

FERRY TRAFFIC Is HEAVY
Davenport Out of Commission d Few
Hours During Morning.

The ferry Davenport was laid up for
a few hours this morning near the
Acme Packet company landing receiv-
ing repairs. The ferry was tied there
in order that the boilers might be clean
ed out, and when the engineer started
to steam up a leak was located, and
this had to be repaired before it could
be put into service. The boat made
it's first trip about 10 o'clock. The
traffic over the ferries is growing great
er day by day on account of the arsenal
bridge being closed.
The steamer Dubuque of the Dia-
mond 10 line which plies between here

IMMENSE SWINE PAVILION.
Iowa State Fair to Have Three Acres
of Hogs Under One Roof.

The largest swine pavilion in the
world is the latest Iowa boast. 1t is
being built on the state fair grounds
at Des Moines and when finished will
occupy three acres under roof. The
Judging ring occupies square almost
surrounded by pens.
This will be the center of attraction
for the Iowa people at their state eX-
position this year, says the Clinton
Herald. Farmers Interested in swine
breeding have been urging this i'm
provement Il long time. Last year they
brought 300 hogs to the exposition,
and many others were sent back for
lack of space. This Is larger exhibit
of hogs than at all other state fairs
together. With these improvements
the Iowa state exhibit will be kept not
only at the head of the list, but far in
the lead of all others.

When four years old Mozart played
minuets and learned music with IA
cility, and at the age of six he com
posed a concerto for the harpsichord.
which, though written strictly in ac-
cordance with the principles and tech
mic of his art, was yet so overloaded
with difficulties that it could not be
played.
1t is related that Mozart once hap
pened to put off some music that he
had been engaged to furnish for a
court concert so long that he had not
time to write out the part which he
himself was to perform.
The Emperor Joseph, who was OF Z
curious turn, CHANGED to be in the com
poser's studio when he asked: ''Wherc
is your part? l do not see it among
these sheets of music"

OF some Importance was made about
10 o'clock last evening by Chief of Po-
lice Eckhart and Officer Kcll. A call
came from the residence of J. a. Keep
hart, 2514 Fifth avenue, saying that a
man had been captured proving about
the house c. \. Wallace, whom it de-
velops has relatives in Minneapolis,
was arrested. He gave several stories
in support of his presence in the build
ing, one to the effect that he had Il
friend roOming there, another that he
had strayed into the wrong house, and
this morning he states that he was
crazy drunk and did not know what he
was doing.
BY letters found at Kephart's resi-
dence this morning during an invCsti-
cation made by the chief, it develops
that Wallace is a physician, but by his
own account drink has been his ruin.
The letters found also tend to convey
the idea that the doctor has been en-
gagged i'll some rather shady deals, in
which he used samples and the guise
of travelling agent to gain admittance
to houses. He has daughter i'll Peoria
and brother in Minneapolis.
Secured Nothing Here.

had gained admittance. Entrance to
