When some CONFUSION of nature rent

While there is some doubt as to au-
thenticity, there is said to be a $780,
100000 cache of Spanish doublons,
buried by Captain Kidd, on Esopus
Island in the Hudson river, not far
from New York City, while at the very
gate of New York is a forgotten treas
ure of many hundreds of thousands.
This famous treasure was lost when
the British frigate Hesarar, a pay ship
sent in for the British soldiers during
the revolutionary war, went down in
the East river. 1t will be easy to look
up the old Admiralty records and get
the full Information that may lead to
the finding of the treasure.

spending his ill-gotten wealth and
boarded 1t somewhere. At last he was
captured and before his execution at
Newburg contided to keeper who had
been kind to him that he had sacks of
gold and silver and jewels buried in a
spot on Storm King Mountain, just
north of Cornwall-on-the-H Hudson, some
thirty-five miles north of New York
City. No search has ever been made.
In the hey-day of Mississippi river
steamboat traffic, great deal of sun
ken treasure accumulated in the Ohio,
Cumberland, Tennessee, Missouri, Red
and Arkansas rivers. A pay boat on
its way to Grants army at Vicksburg
with more than two million dollars
aboard was fired by some of her crew
who meant to rob her. The paymas-
ter's men defended the money till tho
boat sank. James B. Eads, who built
the Eads' bridge at St. Louis and the
Eads jetties at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi, invented an apparatus by use
of which he could reach some of the
treasure-wrecls in shallow water and
recovered several million dollars. All

For years the winds battered and
the sun and rains rotted the ropes on
the walls of the rock till at last they
disappeared. So many lives were lost

passed forbidding any one to make
the attempt without the necessary le-

There are two extensive areas of

great joint family cache somewhere

1t was known for many years that
on Lord Edmeston's estate near West
Edmeston, N. Y, his personal repre-
sentative, Perdifer Carr, had buried a
treasure. The property known as the
Henry F. Burdick in 1850, was the

followed for possession made the case
famous. Where is the remainder Of
the treasure?
Joel Coryell, sexton at Romulus, N.

Tory estate in 1776, found large
quantity Of money in an old pot. The
grave belonged to Thomas Mann, but
Coryell kept the gold.
Walter Butler, the notorious Mo-

treasures he had buried and those that

Tories who had told him where to re-

Scores of moderns, they declare, have
been reduced by the rush of civilized So

which the suggestion of suicide has a
dangerous attraction.
After that they propose to agitate for
restrictive regulations to make it more
difficult to obtain firearms and poisons.
Such legislative action is. however, re-
