OLD BOARDING PLACES.
Secret Drawers and Hidden Nooks In
Which Money Was Stored.


Which Money Was Stored.
1T was the common opinion o.
writers on economics in the seven
teenth century that much currenc,
Whs hidden in ceilings, behind
wainscots and in secret drawers
Hogarth in his print of ''The In
heritance," forming one of the SET
of "The Rake's Progress" has de-
Ficted shower of coins falling from
the ceiling of the room where a
workman had accidentally disturbed
the molding. Old cabinets and sec
-fktaries of any size have usually one
Or two secret drawers or cupboards,
Often most ingeniously contrived.
1T is surprising how well these Sc
cret corners elude detection, even
when their existence may be ex-
pected or inferred. Some years ago
the wife of Kentish laborer was
breaking up an old chest of drawers
when she discovered a secret COM
partment nearly filed with gold
cbins of the reigns of William III.
and George II. The chest had been
purchased for few shillings about
twenty years previously, and the
fact that this little store of coins
had not been discovered earlier was
all the more strange, because in all
probability the drawers had been
several times repaired.
"A curious list of hiding places for
money is afforded by two old books
Of memoranda and receipts relating
to The Fulham Pottery works in
1893 and 1893. There are $40
guineas in a wooden box in a hole
under the fireplace in the garret.
There are AGO more in two covered
receptacles under the fireplace in
The old laboratory. Behind the
door of the little parlor there is a
can containing some milled money.
Two boxes full of money were
placed in two holes of the great
furnace, from which they were to be
drawn by a long, crooked iron
standing behind the kitchen door
In all ten or a dozen such hiding
places are named, and the money
was variously contained in boxes,
bags, cans, pots and purses.
There can be little doubt that the
practice of boarding money and val
nables in private houses gave great
encouragement to crime A glance
through the pages of early volumes
of the Annual Register, largely de-
voted to the chronicles of crime, re-
Yeals a number of apparently hasti-
ly planned robberies, which resulted |
in rich hauls out of all proportion |
to the occasion. Some thieves get /
in at the garret window Of a house !
in Devonshire square and carry off !
from the owners bedchamber an
iron chest containing cash, notes
and other valuables TO the amount
of 100000. Two men enter the Gus
tom house at Limerick and in a few
minutes carry off cash to the
amount of about e1,SO0. Such is
the character Of the crimes which
were then most successful-a bold,
quick bid for the treasure chest,
which was almost certain to be we'll
stocked and very often convenient
for removal by two or three thieves
acting in concert.-W. A.. Atkinson
in Chambers Journal.

COPPER COUNTRY
HUNTERS PLEASED
BELIEVED PROPOSED MEETING
OF U. PENN SULA SPORTS
MEN AT MARQUETTE
WILL DO GOOD.

Copper Country hunters are heartily
in accord with the proposal TO hold "A
meeting of all of the upper peninsula
sportsmen I'm Marquette on December
20 TO discuss needed changes i'm the
game laws. 1t is likely that the Ke-
weenaw Rod and Gun Club and pos
sibly other clubs I'm this section will
send representatives to this meeting.
Those who love the woods take a
deep interest i'm the proposed revision
# the game laws and believe that
concerted action by all of the sports
mems clubs will bring about a big i'm
jrovemcnt.
There have been numerous suSlges .
ions made, recently many of which
IRE of a conflicting nature, and IL is
lmost certain that unless the upper

here can be little hope of the desired
harSes brought about. Some of the
unters favor more protection for

uncertainty among legislators, and

omc changes should be made, the

The chief obstacle to a successful

which would enable ore or more dele

FISRE9MtE INTERESTED IN
WHAT LEGISLATURE MAY DO

Lake fishermen are considerably in
terestcd in what the legislature may do
as to changing the commercial fish
laws 1T the coming session. While it
is not generally expected that any rad
zeal changes will be made, as the law
was pretty thoroughly made over two
years ago, they are apprchensive that
amendments To the present laws may
be proposed.
1T is the wish of the fishermen"
said a fisherman, that whatever the
legislature does i'm the way os amend
ing the game laws he done early in
the session. AS rule, fish legislation
has not been taken up until near the
end of the session and changes made
at such late date cause the fisher
men much Inconvenience. Now is the
time that we would be buying our nets
for next year, but we cannot buy until
we know what kind of nets will be le-
gal and what illegal. or this reason. the
legislators will do the fishermen of the
state a great favor by disposing of the
commercial fish laws as early i'm the
season as possible"
According to a Canadian dispatch.
States and the Dominion relative to
joint regulation of fisheries i'm interna-
tional waters have reached a conclu-
sion, which means that another year
local fishermen are likely to be under
national rather than state control.
The dispatch says:
1T is understood that as result
of the conference held here during the
last three days between Prof. David
Starr Jordan. the United States repre-
sentative on the international fisheries
commission, and Prof. Prince the Can
adian commissioner. an agreement has
been reached whereby the joint inter-
national regulations governing the
fisheries i'm inland boundary waters, as
drafted over a year ago, will be
brought into force without further de-
lay by simultaneous PRONUNCIATION at
Washington and ottawa"

ELECTION COIN

ELKO, August 26.-It is asserted
here that the sum of $65.OO0 in ten
and twenty dollar bills was shipped
out OF Reno last Saturday evening
and is now being distributed through
the counties along the line of the
railroad
This money is said to be used to
purchase votes at the primary elec.
ton to further the interests OF GER
tain candidates.
Trace of the money and the uses
10 which it is being put have already
been found and Pittman and Dicker-
son followers will see to it that be-
fore many days a number OF Promi-
nent sack-carriers are arrested, with
good chances that a few at least will
be wearing stripes at Carson before
the holiday season.
The law gives immunity to the in
former in cases of election bribery
and it will be attended 10 at once
that those who are using money IN
this desperate effort to defeat the
will of the voters. will be treated as
criminals should.
