CINCINNATI WASHINGTON LAND.
Heirs Claim Ground City Occupies

Cincinnati.-The heirs Of George
Washington claim that the ground
on which Cincinnati stands belongs to
them, having once been owned by
the first president. They are seeking
to recover a large sum from the gov
eminent on account Of land granted
to him along the Ohio river, which
subsequently was opened i~nadvertent-
ly by congress to settlers.
The present value Of these lands
reaches far into the hundreds Of mil
lions of dollars. Cincinnati ia includ.
ed in the property designated In
Washington's will as Round Bot

Pleasant, the birthplace Of Gen.
Grant.
An administrator of the undistribu'

LIONS BEFORE CONSUMPTION.
Philosophical View OF Life Is Taken by
Woman Animal Trainer.

Atlanta, Cat would rather be in
the cage with my lions when death
comes,". said Rose Reynolds, the ami
NAL trainer, as her ankle and leg were
being dressed the other night in her
dressing-room in the rear of the
George Rollins wild animal show,
which gave. an exhibition here.
Miss Reynolds ugly wounds were
inflicted by the claws of Louis, the
wild African lion, in the last act. The
audience knew nothing of the acct.
dent. They had e g the big beast
strike out and catch one of the girls
legs and had seen her release it, but
they thought it was only a part Of the
program. Miss Reynolds leg and
ankle were badly torn.
Something seems to tell me-" she
said, "that some day the lions will
kill me, but what is the difference?
Death has to come to all Of us, some
time, some way. I would rather be
killed by one of the animals than to
die from some wasting disease like
consumption"
Miss Reynolds Is a tall blonde
about 80 years Of age, and she goes
into a cage with ten lions who have
been in captivity only n year.

mines were union men. Of the latter
was old man Gordon, while Adkins
was a regular lre-eating rebel.
After several stormy interviews
Adkins was forbidden to enter the
Gordon home, and Rowena was or
dered not to see him. He enlisted In
the confederate army and marched out
with Wise on his famous retreat up
the valley. This was in the spring of
1861. In the autumn he returned
home on a furlough and sought. to re-
new amicable relations with the Cor
dons, but raj repulsed by both father
and daughter. 1t is said that In a
spirit Of revenge he set fire to the
farmhouse at the mouth Of the mine.
The fire was communicated to the rich
vein Of camel coal inside and, OBJ
tanning a good hold, has been burning
yer since.
Adkins returned to his regiment and.
was killed in battle. The Gordons left
the country soon after, and their sub.
sequent history is not known here.
That is the romantic version. The
prosaic one is that fire was communi-
Gated to the mine by a forest fire that
ragged furiously in October, 1851. Ger
tain it is that the mine began to burn
at that time and has been burning
aver since.
In the late sos a company was
formed by Charleston men to extin-
guish the fire and reopen the mine,
but after spending 100000 in a vain
attempt the enterprise was aban-
doned. It is probable that the fire
will be allowed to burn until the en-
tire vein of coal Is consumed.
Often, for years at a time, the fire
cannot be seen, but there is always
something about the locality to bear
witness of it's presence. Sometimes
this is smoke, sometimes steam aris-
ing from the place under which the
heat lies. In wet weather there is
always a vapor rising from the noun
tain above the mine. In winter snow
melts as rapidly as it falls on the par
ticular spot above the fire, or else dis
appears from there while the ground
around is white. In the spring vege-
tation appears earlier where the
earth is warm from this underlying
heat. OF late it has been burning WIS.,
IDLY at night, the extent being perhaps
a hundred yards along the face of the
mountain.

ONIONS AND CABBAGE BARRED.
Des Molnes Landlords Prohibit rhelp
Cooking In Flats.

Des Moines, Ia.-Do you abhor the
smell Of boiling cabbage? Does the
odor of frying onions make you Ill?
If they do come to Des Moines.
This city now is the onion and cab.
'bage haters' paradise. For even
though you may live in a fiat you will
not have to be annoyed by the smell
of vegetables. Des Moines landlords
have said so. And what they say they
mean. 1t was the Des Moines Land
lords association that first ruled that
no babies could occupy their fats.
And they went further. They put it
IN the lease, and when one young cou-
pie brought a young daughter into the
world it was a Des Moines landlord
who put out the family for violating
the terms of the lease.
Now it Is something else. In leases
now being made in Des Moines il the
following provision:
Provided always that by these pres.
ents said lessee covenants and agrees
that the cooking of any cabbage or
onions, regardless Of quantity, shall
work a forfeiture of this lease and all
right inuring Hereunder shall cease
to be upon declaration by the lessor
So steak and onions and the New
England boiled dinner will be things Of
the past in Des Moines apartment
houses. Flat jewellers may revolt II
they want to-, but it will do them no
good.
The first lease to contain this new
provision was the Martindale flats, an
exclusive apartment house. 1t found
ready takers, too, with the "taboo">and
all. For the flat jewellers know that
what n landlord does in Des Moines
all Of them will do.

statistics about how it's girls work
their way through, but out of the
1900 students here not less than ESQ
are paying at least part of their ex-

REVENGE CAUSED FIRE
ROMANTIC STORY OF OLD COAL
MINE BLAZE.
Started by Rejected Wooer During
Civil War-More Prosalc Version
Is That Fire Was Result
of Forest Flames.

Charleston, w. Va-On Paint creek,
about 20 miles above this city, near
the station of Standard, a coal mine
fire is raging-a fire about the origin
of which an interesting romance is
builded. At night the mountain side
in which the mine is located Is ablaze
with a weird play of light; by day a
column of smoke ascends like a monu-
ment. In truth, the mountain Is at1re,
an unquenchable fire, as those who
have already lost $4,000 in a vain at
tempt to smother it will testify.
In the late sos of the last century
the Kanawha Coal and Oil company
was organized for the purpose of pro-
ducing oil from the camel coal found
in the mountains divided by Paint
creek. The vein of camel coal was a
comparatively thin one, lying In the
heart of a thick seam of the bitumin.
Gus coal found in abundance through
out that section. The company was
busy with its operation when the civil
war broke out, and continued at work
for some time thereafter.
The superintendent Of the mine was
a blunt old E%nglishman named Gordon
and he had q handsome daughter,
Rowena, who was the delight of her
fathers heart and the despair of the
young mon Of the neighborhood. There
was the usual counting and flirting,
