GREAT SEAL OF CONFEDERACY.
Believed to he in New York, Says
Historian \. S. Sallcy, Jr.

The discussion Of the question of
the whereabouts Of the Great Seal Of
the Confederate States, In a recent
issue Of the Charleston News and
Courier, induced A. S. Salley, Jr.,
the secretary of the historical COM
mission, to give the following state
ments Of the facts in regard to the
seal:
"When the officials of the Con-
federate Government hurricdly left
Richmond In 1865 the Great Seal was
overlooked and left behind. 1t was
shortly afterwards found in the De-
partment Of State, and the finder kept
1t until after the war and then pre-
sented 1t to Col. John 7. Pickett,
a Virginian, residing In Washington.
"Col. Pickett, in order to make
money out of his treasure, had copies
Of 1t made in gold, silver and bronze
by the electro-process. He got GER
tificate from J. S. and A. B. Wyon,
chief engravers Of her Majesty's
SEALS of London, the maker Of the
Great Seal, wherein they said that
they had compared the electro copy
with the proof impression that had
been retained by their house and that
they had no hesitation in asserting G
that so perfect an impression could
not have been produced except from
the original SEAL Col. Pickett sold
and gave away many OF these electro
copies and they are now scattered
all over the country.
HE gave several of the bronze
copies to William E. Earle, a South
Carolinian, who then resided In
Washington, and Mr.. Earle sent one
OF them to the Secretary of State for
the use Of South Carolina. This
simple little copy has been shown to
so many mentally and physically list
less sightseers who visit our State
House annually, aud take in just
about enough Of what Is told them to
go out and talk stupidity about it,
that the impression has gained wide
currency that the Great Seal Of the
Confederacy is in the State House in
Columbia. Four or five times a year
| get letters (sCmetimes from people
who ought to know bctter,) asking
il the story that we have the Great
Seal OF the Confederacy is true
"A very distinguished looking old
gentleman once came in and asked
me If had the custody Of the Great
Seal Of the Confederacy. told him
that we had nothing but small
bronze electro copy, and pulled 1t out
He quietly remarked that it was as
had supposed; that he had one Of the
gold copies. After Col. Pickett's
death the Seal passed to other hands,
and | am assured by two men OF
high standing in the literary world
that it is now in New York, and that
for some reason the owner does not
wish his name made public for the
present"

SHE CHARGES FRAUD
IN WITHHOLDING ALlM0NY
Woman Asserts Former Husband Has
Conspired with Sister to Keep
Money from Her.

Mrs. Mary Cronin, who year ago got a
divorce from Michael Cronin and an all
mony judgment for $50 a month, never
has been able to collect cent, notwtth-
standing that Cronin has a good position in
the Union Pacific shops. She appealed to
Judge Estelle Tuesday to help her collect
by disallowing an assignment OF Cronin's
wages made in favor of his sister, Mrs
Hannah Davis of Council Bluffs.
j. B. Palmer, attorney for Mrs. Cronin,
charged Cronin and his sister with fraud
declaring that .Cronin does not owe Mrs.
Davis anything and the two simply have
conspired to keep Mrs Cronin from getting
the alimony the court awarded her.
A little more than a year ago Mrs. Cronin
got her divorce, but before she could col
lect any alimony Mrs. Davis filed the as
signment which purported to have been
given her by Cronin for 81 and other vslu-
able consideration. Judge Redick refused to
set aside the assignment, but held that II
could be good for only one year. Mrs.
Cronin waited a year and made another eff
fort to collect, out found Mrs. Davis had
filed new assignment given her for 81
and other valuable consideration.
Mr.. Palmer declared that the filing of
the new assignment just before the year
expired is evidence OF fraud.

WOULD ERECT A FINE MUSEUM
County CommissioBer Believes that
Salvage from old Structure would
he Sufficient 20 Provide n
Public Auditorium.

The old court house, which VIII be vacated
as soon as the new county building IS
completed, will probably be offered TO the
city as a gift by the board OF county com
nlssoners. the conditions Of the donation
to be that the city remove the structure
from the county's ground, wreck It and
devote the salvage proceeds to the construc-
ton Of a public auditorium and museum
II would be a $4,000 or $4,000 gift to the
city.
The idea Of the donation has occurred to
Jeff W. Bedford, chairman OF the board OF
county commissioners, who has been turn
ing Il over in his mind for several veelSs
II he concludes that the offer would be
advisable he will introduce resolution
covering the proposition next Saturday or
a week later.
II am considering IT," said Mr.. Bedford
Tuesday THAT doesn't mean that have
decided 20 DO 1t. I haven't made up my
mind whether II would be a good plan or
not On its face It looks advisable, but
such a move must be considered thoroughly
before any action is taken, even before put
ting In mp to the board 1T all.
The most the county could get out OF
the old building would be $1,000 or $4,000
net. That's what we would have left out OF
the salvage after paying the wrecking cost
Tho city needs q public building, one In
which various organizations could hold
meetings and conventions of one kind and
another at little or no expense. The Audi
forum does not answer the purpose. l
don't consider a public building now. MY
idea is for a building Of two stories; one
for a meeting place and one for a museum.
/ understand the Aninger collection of art
works and curios would be given the city
II It had a place to put It. I have no doubt
that other collections would be donated.
with a $1,000 or $4,000 start the city
might be able to erect such building and
/ think the money would be wen spent. It's
not improbable that suitable ground would
be donated or sold at low price. This
that 1 have told you Is just the idea as 1t
hes occurred to me and without any refer
ence to the objections that can be raised"

DUN'S WEEKLY RAD REVIEW.
fBy the Associated Press.)

tBy the Associated PreSs.)
New York, Sept. Pr. g. Dunn Il Com
pany's weekly Review Of Trade tomorrow
will say:
The volume Of general business appar-
emily is still much below producing capac-
ity and there Is little speculative antici-
patton of possible future wants. What il
not SO clearly appreciated Is that the
everyday requirements of the American
people, even on a more economical basis.
are increasing with the normal growth
of population, and that slowly but surely
the gap between capacity and consump-
ton is being bridged. That capital Is
halted in entering upon large enterprises
because Of world unrest which causes dis
turbance to the international markets. Is
plain enough, but business men are APP
learning to adjust their affairs
to do business while big problems are
being solved. Mill operation in iron and
steel are quite well maintained since new
business shows no marked shrinkage, aud
it is estimated that the leading interest is
working at about 70 per cent of capacity.
Further concessions in price are noted on
virtually all finished products although IN
the wire trade manufacturers are now ask
ing slight advances over the recent low
level. Numerous moderate sized orders
for rails are reported, the total volume
reaching about 5000 tons. Dizziness stiIl
prevails in foundry pig iron.
The improved call for dress goods and
mems wear has been stimulated by the
need for goods that were not ordered at
the usual time and are now required for
use. Clothiers show more con
fidence and are increasing their orders
and fully ninety per cent of the looms
in mems wear in New England are re-
ported busy. The demand for woolen5
and worsteds in suitings for fall is steady.
Agents cannot sell popular lines at ad-
but staples are steady. Export trade in
trade in cotton goods has been very sat
New England manufactures Of footwear
are quite busy on orders for prompt ship
nent- Staple lines are now receiving chief
and this adds to the strength
of the market

ern spot markets have 81 times shown
conspicuous weakness. Hedge selling here
has been persistent and Of increasing vol
ume. Declining prices IN Liverpool have
been explained in the dispatches from that
center as due to freer offerings from the

the unsatisfactory condition of the cotton

Gus parts of Europe of the high cost II

power among the leading races OF Europe
while i'll this country the complaints OF
dear food are heard. Politics in this coun-
try has been another disturbing factor.
Uncertainty about the tariff and about the
status of trusts and the fact that next
year a presidential election occurs ali
tend to keep general trade within very
conservative limits. Not unnaturally the
cotton trade is affected. In this situa
ton the believers in lower prices thak
the cotton world is confronted With i
very large crop of cotton. perhaps tie
largest ever grown. What is to be its
value, with the world disturbed politically.
socially and financially, as it is today these
are among the questions which reflective
men are asking and finding it difficult
to answer. The price is about SO a bale
lower than d year ago. That discounts
something. Furthermore, the equinoctial
storms are yet to be encountered. They
may 90 much damage to open cotton. spin
ners are beginning TO buy rather more
freely of futures here on the decline. Ian
cashire's trade is said to be good. The
export trade in goods here has later In
creased. Some $1,000 to 10000 bales have
been sold for speculation from October
to February. Manchester and the Cont
nent have been buying in Liverpool. The
tendency iS TO OVprdO the short interest.
That of itself however indicates 4 very
general prevalency Of bearish sentiment
based on pessimistic ideas as to supply
and demand.
