In twenty years-between 1878 and
1S98-6,000 vessels were wrecked on
the inland seas, marine records show.
The loss of cargo in this period of
less than one-fourth of the years Of
navigation on the lakes was $4,000, 900.
From this estimate it is figured that
the total number of vessels wrecked
reaches $4,000 ana the amount OF treas
ure at the bottom of the lakes is $780,
100000.
String these sunken vessels with
their hidden treasures over the 1000
mile course from Buffalo to Duluth.

mile.

EARLY LETTER ON THE UNION.
DR.. Rush Feared a Too Quick Peace
with England Would Be Harmful.

DR.. Rush Feared a Too Quick Peace
with England Would BE Harmful.
One Of the finest specimens of let
ters in recent sale of autographs by
Stan V. Henkels in Philadelphia, was
written on April Is, 1882, by DR.. Ben
jamin Rush, a signer of the declara-
tion of independence, to MAJ. Gen.
Nathaniel Greene, says the New York
Times
DR.. Rush was physician-general Of
the revolutionary army also. He prac-
ticed his profession in Philadelphia
and during the yellow fever epidemic
there in 1888 he treated it success
fully and 1t has been estimated that
he saved from death no less than
5000 persons.
He was a firm supporter of the fed
eral constitution and his letter is
chiefly about that subject. He says:
ut is true France has done wonders
for US. But may not even this have
a beneficial effect on our country here
after. 1t seems intended by heaven to
teach us the necessity of perpetual
union and confederation. If the COM
bined force Of all the States was un-
equal to the power of Britain, what
can be expected from the spirit or re-
sources of any one of them? l am so
perfectly satisfied that the future
peace, safety, freedom of America
depend upon our union that I
view the debt of our country
with pleasure, especially that part
of 1t we owe to ourselves.
II Our danger at present arises
principally from two causes. First, a
too speedy peace with Britain, and,
second, from Britain's acknowledging
our independence. l wish the first
may be deferred till naval war has
given us as many fleets and admirals
as land war has given us armies and
generals. The last event would un-
nerve the resentments of America and
Introduce among us all the conse'
quence of English habits and manners
with English manufactures. To pre-
vent this and enable us to transmit
our feeling to posterity, l wish Brit
ain for fifty years to come may con
tinue in all her acts of government to
call us rebels and 'deluded subjects.
We stand in need of all the follies
and vices of our enemies to give us a
national character"
On Sept. 23, 1888, the definitive
treaty of peace was signed, by which
the independence Of the thirteen
United States was acknowledged by
Great Britain 1t was not, however
until after Jays treaty in 1874 that
this original treaty of peace was fully
executed by Great Britain.

announcement that the next Olympian

will be under the control Of an inter-

under that of board composed
wholly Of citizens Of the country
which is acting as the host of the oc-

not, the resentment at the instances
in 1908 did much to mar the success

The police Judge Of Spokane thinks
the word cigarette" in statute for
bidding cigarette smoking is not def
mite enough to warrant him in having
an opinion as to what 1t means when
offenders are brought before him. AS
usual such an attitude gives rise to
the suspicion that he has very definite
ideas about cigarettes outside the let
