COUSIN JANET AT THE RINK
Third of Sunday Star Series Of "Cut.
Ont" Dolls.

cousin Janet at the Rink is the third
OF the series of "cut-out' dolls which The
Sunday Star is presenting each week to
the children of Washington.
"Polly's Playmates' are mounted on
heavy paper. each with beautifully col
ored gowns and hats of the latest fashion,
but designed with such artistic simplicity
that any little girl old enough to be
trusted with scissors may easily cut them
out.
The postal laws will not permit this sup
plement to be mailed with The Star, and
1t will be necessary for mail subscribers
who wish the paper doll to send a 1-cent
stamp for separate mailing.

THE WRC|N|AS' CONTEST
over OLD DEBT HEARD.
Case Before Supreme Court
for Final Argument-MiI-
lions Are Involved. r.

For years the subject Of bitter con-
test, the controversy between Virginia
and West Virginia over the settlement
OF the debt OF the old commonwealth OF
Virginia yesterday came before the Su-
preme Court Of the United States for final
argument. Many millions of dollars are
involved.
The commonwealth of Virginia in 1906
began an action in the Supreme Court
to have an accounting with West Vir-
ginia to determine the latter's equitable
share Of the Indebtedness of the old COM
monwealth'' prior to the civil war and
just before West Virginia was organized
as separate states Virginia claimed
that the Indebtedness amounted to more
than 100000.
Littlefeld Made Report.
West Virginia objected to the suit, but
the Supreme Court sustained the conten-
tions of Virginia on this point, and finally
appointed a special master. former Rep
resentative Charles r. Littlefield OF
Maine, to take testimony and answer GER
tain questions, evidently with view OF
settlement. Mr.. Littlefield reported. but
both sides took exceptions to his report.
Today the case was set for argument OF
these exceptions.
The equities are complicated by the So
called Wheeling ordinance and enact
ments and acts of the two states.
The ordinance adopted at Wheeling pro-
viding for the formation of the new state
contained a provision that the new state
should take upon itself just proportion
of the public debt of Virginia. to be
certained by charging to it all state eN-
penditures within the limits thereof. and
a just proportion Of the ordinary eX-
penses Of the Virginia government since
any part of the debt was contracted. and
deductng therefrOm the moneys paid into
the Virginia treasury from the counties
within the new state.
Counter Claims.
Virginia claims that West Virginia
should pay at least one-thrd of the debt,
or about S11.0OOUD0. But some years ago
West Virginia took the position that a
settlement according to the Wheeling or
dinance would put Virginia actually In
debt to West Virginia in the sum of
$512,OOO. West Virginia now claims that
Virginia cannot require IL to pay one
third of the debt. because the bondhold-
ers of that amount are alleged to have
freed Virginia, in a refunding arrange
ment. from any liability therefor.

The proposal that after January next

BAG HOLDING $4,000
FOUND IN SUBWAY CAR
Passenger Hands Treasure to
a Station Agent, and the
Owner Later Receivers It.

NEW YORK, January 21.-Mrs. Ed
mund H. Damon of No. 9S2 Union ave-
nue.. the Bronx, says she waited for q
train some days ago at the 125th street
station OF the Lenox avenue division of
the subway She saw a well dressed
woman sitting on one of the platform
benches with q small alligator handbag
beside her. This woman boarded the next
train, and as she did SO Mrs. Damon
noticed that she left the handbag behind.
Before Mrs. Damon could even call to
her the doors closed and the train started.
She opened the handbag to see if it con-
tanned the owners name.
Treasure in the Bag.
The bag was packed with bundles OF
bank notes. The first one that Mrs.
Damon saw was $1,000 bill. When Mrs.
Damon recovered from her establishment
sufficiently to count the bills she found
that they reached total Of $4,000.
Mrs. Damon's first thought was to take
the bag home until she could get into
communication with the owner When
she found q card bearing the name of DR..
E. Kingsland johnson of Mount Vernon,
be to turn the bag over at once to the
station agent, leaving her own card so
that she might learn whether the bag
had been. safely restored.
Recovered by the Owner.
When several days passed and no fur
Their word of the bag came to Mrs. Damon
she made inquiry at the station, she told
a reporter last night. She was told that
the woman came back in tears an hour
later and claimed it. The agent who had
been first on duty had gone to another
station, she was told, and she was not
able to find who the woman was. She
was not able either, to learn whether the
woman had left her thanks.
Dr. Johnson was greatly interested to
learn last night that his card had been
found in the bag He was entirely sure
that the money did not belong to him or
to any member of his family. The only
way in which he could account for the
presence Of the card was that the bag
belonged to some one Of his patients
None Of the officials Of the PETERBOROUGH
had heard of the finding or the return of
any such a pickup" it was said last
night.

Examples of the Old Mansions.

All mankind owes an obligation to the
people OF Hanover for preserving some
OF the old mansions. and while you do
not find as many here as in the neighbor-
ing city of Hildesheim, those that re-
main are particularly fine examples, and
have been perfectly preserved or re-
stored.
The most notable-and 1t Is q glorious
specimen of sixteenth century German
architecture-was the home of Baron
Gottfried Wilhelm Won Leibnitz, the ia
nous chemist. philosopher and mathe-
matcian. He was a native Of Leipsic
d646), where his father was professor of
law at the university. and he also was in
structor in that institution for several
years In 1864 Leibnitz entered the serv-
Ice OF the elector of Meinz. where he re-
manned Tor six years occupied with liter
airy pursuits and acting as q political ad-
wiser TO the government. In 1876 he came
to Hanover in a similar capacity and
served the elector here the rest Of his
life-that is. for thirty years. He occu-
pied this fine old mansion presented to
him by the elector and died there In
l716.
LeibnitZ was celebrated for the univer-
salty of his genius. but particularly for
his achievements in mathematics and
philosophy The house now belongs to
the municipality. II was thoroughly re-
stored in 1901 and contains a collection
OF art-industrial objects and specimens OF
homemade work of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. No other house In
Hanover, or in Germany, for that matter,
offers more perfect illustration of the
domestic architecture of that period. The
front Is Of sandstone. with Gothic win
