Solution of "Mystery."

Cruel disilusiOnment awaited those
who assembled yesterday morning at
Marshal Palmer's office to examine the
contents of what was reported to be a
treasure chest, said to have been dis
covered by two colOred men while en-
gagged in digging the foundation for the
new elevator TO be installed In the City
Hall.
That which was looked upon by the
two negroes as the covering of the
mysterious chest day before yesterday
was nothing but heap Of broken terra

A number Of students. antiquity dealers,
curio collectors, long-haired men, and
short-haired women were on hand bright
and early yesterday morning to see with
their own eyes what the much-talked-of
chest contained. Their faces fell when
they were informed that the treasure box
had not yet been found. Not yet, but
soon. Maybe. When Mr.. Sherwood
mentioned vulgar steam pipes in the same
breath with the romance Of treasure
trOve. these savants nearly collapsed with
horror. 1t was sacrilege in their eyes.
and they expressed themselves so in select
language, mixed with Greek and Latin.
But these were not the only ones that
felt the disappointment keenly. There
were the two sons of Ham, who had been
digging away for dear life to bust that
bank" They had figured 1t to nicely
what was to be done with the proceeds.
Lots of chicken. watermelons. poke salad

was rude one. Who said iron chest?
