WEALTH HIDDEN in OLD TABLE

Problem California Woman Left for
Public Administrator to Solve.
Cunningly hidden in a secret recep-
tacle deftly carved in the leg of an
antique table, the fortune of the late
Mrs. Jessie Fremont Dietsch of San
Francisco, relative of the noted path.
finder, Gen. John c.. Fremont, was
found recently by the deputy public
administrator, w. J. Hynes. The neat.
ly fastened little bundle gave up a
bank book showing deposits of $4,000,
q costly collection of time honored
jewelry and countless shares in wild.
cat concerns worth their waste paper
value.
The discovery of the effects of the
cratic woman of historic lineage ends
a search that Hynes and his men pur-
sued for several days with great ear
nestness. When Mrs. Dietsch died, on
April %, alone and in seclusion, her
effects were taken charge of by the
public administrator in the absence
Of any near relatives. The officers
were informed that the old woman
was possessed of great wealth and the
stories came from such reliable
sources that it was deemed advisable
to make a complete search of the
premises. r....
With this end in view Hynes and
his assistants strained every effort
to locate the hidden treasure Every
article in the house was overturned
and thoroughly searched without avail.
Even the carpets and tapestries were
ripped open in the hope that they
would yield some of the glittering
gold which the aged recluse was sup
posed to possess.
Just as Hynes was about to abandon
the search he accidently knocked OF
the hollow leg of an ancient table,
In cleverly contrived cache the pub
lie administrator spied an old wallet.
Opening the bag, Hynes discovered
that 1t contained the bank book,
jewels and stock certificates.

Poisoned by HoneysuckIe.

One of the most favorite and beauti-
full of our flowers is the common hon
eysuckle, but it would seem to have
its dangers. The Lancet mentions a
case occurring in the practice of DR..
Engh of Volden, in which little
boy, two years old, was poisoned by
its oflwers.
The child after being In the gar
den playing with the flowers became
tired and drowsy and then complained
of thirst. Our contemporary describes
the symptoms that followed and adds
that the boy made good recovery,
but was peevish and inert for some
days. Various kinds of honeysuckle
have been used incidentally as diuret-
les and diaphoretics, and it is well
that it should be known that some of
the varieties at all events are far from
harmless. The flowers appear to be
specially dangerous whel freshly
picked.
