In 1861 the Philadelphia, Whining

It was readily discovered that a plot

CURSE WAS ON GREAT HOTEL

A curious tradition fingers around
the Savoy Hotel, London, where some
wonderful alterations have just been
carried out When this great estab-
lishment was first opened it had a
singular run of ill-luck. One of the
directors. seeking to learn the cause
of it, was told an odd story. The land
on which the hotel was built had for
merly belonged to a monastic order
which was expelled at the Reforma-
tion, the property being confiscated.
On leaving, the abbot had cursed the
ground, declaring that any enterprise
connected with it should not prosper.
On hearing this tale the director
sought out a monastery of the ex-

OF late years these ceremonies are

around the world along parallel lines,
and while 10000 voyagers cross the
Atlantic ocean, few sail from the
north to south Atlantic, thus carrying
them across the equator.

SAVED BY BIRDS DEATH SONG

A canary birds death song saved
the lives of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Etero
at Stamford, Conn, the other night,
when gas thrown off by coal fire in
the kitchen range was suffocating the
sleeping couple.
About one in the morning, just be-
fore the bird became lifeless, 1t burst
lorth into song. Weak and quavering
enough 1t was, but still sufficiently
.oud to awaken Mr.. Etero. He arose
with a sense Of suffocation and nau-
sea. He fell, but regained his feet,
with an effort, staggered to window
and called for help. Then he col
lapsed. The neighbors heayd the cry
and hurried to the apartment. A
physician who was summoned said the
Eteros had had a close call.

celebration. The initiation of the en-
tire ships company followed. When
the ceremonies were at an end, each
was presented with an elaborate
document stating that the owner had
paid his respects to Neptune in prop
er form, and that hereafter, according
to the proverbial custom Of the seas,
he would be permitted to cross the
line without further initiation.

some suppose, but that more or less
eligible specimens are within the
reach of any lonely lady willing to

had been enrolled as a member of the
company. Then, handicapped by the
shortness Of time, he made q supreme
effort to gain the confidence Of the in

were in the principal plot. Few men
could have succeeded as Webster did,
few have such a personality as his.
Naturally he was of a quiet, reserved
disposition, seldom speaking unless
spoken to, and never betraying emo

role of this kind amounted to positive
genius; in a lifetime of detective ex.
