Father Leo's Friend Knows of 1t.


81 have learned from reliable
sources that Giuseppe Ala, who was
hanged at the penitentiary Wednes-
day night, did leave confession,
and that it is on file with the war
den.'' said Father Eusebius of st.
Elizabeth's church, Denver.
81 do not know what the confess
sion contains, except that the Post
printed a copy of it Thursday even
ing.
"When | first saw the Post on
Thursday ! thought that it was i'm
probable that Ala had made con-
fession at Canon City; but, upon in
quiry, | learned differently | don't
know how the confession was Sc
cured from Ala, and don't know who
obtained it.
81 do wish to deny that there is
any truth in the confession made by
Ala. Father Leo was one of the
finest and grandest men | ever knew.
While he was deeply pious man, he
was not the kind who held down his
head. Father Leo took a great in
terest in life and was always jovial
and good, natured. He took every
thing as 1t came. and had no COM
plants to offer. Because of my deep
friendship for him | have felt his
loss keenly."
When he took the body of Father
Leo to Paterson, N. j., Father Eu-
sebius asked to be relieved from du-
ty at Denver. 1t was agreed that
he should depart from the city some
time In July or August. Father Eu-
sebius is now in splendid health.

Wisconsin Man Digs Up Pot Of Money
on Farm.

Appleton, Wis, May 5.-An iron pot
said to nave contained 100000 was dug
up recently on the farm Of Louis
Hoffman near New London. The farm
was sold to Hoffman several years ago
by Mrs. John Schniall. widow of a
prosperous German farmer.
On learning Of Hofrman's rich find,
Mrs Schmall brought suit to recover
the pot, claiming that she sold only
the farm to Hoffman. The latter has
been cited to appear in the Cutagamie
county court next Thursday that it
may be learned how much treasure he
found.
Hoffman was digging out stumps III
pasture several weeks ago when his
pick struck a hard substance. He
continued digging and unearthed the
kettle. Tearing off the lid, his amazed
eyes gazed upon a wealth of gold, sill
Yer and treasury notes.
Mrs. Schmall alleges that the money
was buried by her husband and ior
that reason she is entitled to it.

BOOKS RETURNED AFTER YEARS.
One Came Back to Philadelphia
Library After Being Out Century.

With the best systems and most
careful watching books go astray, but
it is hard to write them off as entirely
lost" since they have a way of turn
ing up that is only paralleled by the
cat of lyric fame.
The other day at the desk of one of
the oldest city institutions, the
Philadelphia Library, at Locust and
Juniper streets, there was returned by
a fair borrower a book that had been
out little over three years. Fortu-
nately for the borrower, no fines were
eXacted and after she had gone the
question as to whether the woman had
not established a record was asked.

I'VE have in this library several
volumes that We're held TO- Is and 90
years and one book that was returned
to us after being gone for over a
century. 1t is one of a valuable set
of the classics and after succeeding in
hiding itself so long finally turned up
in Holland, where it's label declared its
lawful place of abode and the honest
finder lost no time in forwarding it to
Philadelphia. Yes, sir, we have books
out still longer and have not the least
doubt that some of them will yet find

bers to procure an appropriation for
an investigation looking to increasing
safety in mining and they had about

where he would consent to an ap-
preparation of $4,000 when Mr.. I'm

defeated.

Mr.. Hay of Virginia was stricken out

Washington. May 5.-When cOnsid-
GRAFTON of the sundry civil appropria-
tiGn bill was resumed in the House to-
day, Mr.. Gaines, Tenn, offered an
amendment providing for an investi-
cation of the causes of explosions in
mines located en- public lands and
urged it's adoption.
The Gaines amendment was lost on
point of order by Mr.. Tawney as
was a practically similar one by Mr.
CLANCY, Ind.
The subject later was revived by Mr.
CLANCY and considerable discussion
ensued, the burden of the argument
being in its favor. Finally Mr.. Taw-
ney said he would not object to an
appropriation of $4,000 to initiate the
investigation. The original amendment
by Mr.. CLANCY provided for $195,0OO
Mr.. CLANCY accepted the suggestion
but an objection by Mr.. Underwood
defeated the whole proposition. Mr.
Underwood said the amount proposed
was insufficient to carry on the work
for a whole year He did not believe
a further sum would be appropriated
the next session.

gross misinterpretation of an act of
Congress-" Mr.. Hitchcock, Nebraska, in

of that land was s77,00O0O 0O0."

Congress intended they should be sold at
their actual value In no case had a
higher price been charged. he said, but
he had been advised in writing by the
assistant secretary of the interior that

est growth today as there ever has
been in the history of the world.

ing of ANY mans policy saying
that the only policies OF the govern
ment that are not fictitious are those
that are written in the laws of the
land.

ment to the bill excepting the forest
reserves of Idaho from those from
which timber may be cut by permit
