SEARCH FOR RICH cAskET.
Queer Mission on Which Chicago Man
Has Set Forth.

Chicago.-A weird mission has been
assigned to John F. Goodrich, 16S
Forty-fifth street. He is to search
through all the graveyards in New Or
leans for a casket thought to be
buried there that is equipped with
rich gold plates and solid gold handles.
The wood of the casket is of rare
mahogany grain, inlaid with jewels
and hand carved in costly workman
ship. In fact, the coffin itself is a
treasure.
Goodrich is a travelling salesman,
and was given the task of finding this
grim treasure by c. r. Carsten, a
wealthy Chicago manufacturer by
whom he is employed. The casket, ac-
cording to the family history of the
Carstens, was brought to America
from France over a half century ago
by grandfather of the Chicago Cars
ten.
When the Carsten family came to
America the elder Carsten thought he
was coming to a wild and desolate
country, and as he did not expect to
return TO his native home again he
bought and took with him magnif-
cent casSet in which he hoped that
his remains would be buried
In America, however, Carsten did
not prosper as he had expected. Re
verses came, and little by little he lost
all he had. At last Carsten was
obliged to trade the provision he had
made for his death to provide for his
living. He sold the rich coffin for a
large sum to New Orleans under
taker. And afterward, when he did
die he was buried in plain pine box.
Fortune favored his grandson, c. r.
Carsten, who is a well-todo Chicago
manufacturer The grandson is ad-
yancing in wears and has long cher
