Years Before.

The subject of Mr. Stephen Bousal's
stirring biography, Edward Fitzger-

George Beale. who served with distinc-
ton under Marlborough at Lake Cham
plain. and OF Emily. the daughter of
Commodore Truxtun OF the famous
Constellation. Young Beale. as a
member of two naval families, there.
fore, had what was regarded in the
old navy as a prescriptive right TO en-.
ter the service.
With the advent OF President Jack,
son. all such rights were brushed
aside. and the claims OF young Beale
might have been overlooked except
for fortunate and characteristic In.
cident
The boys of Washington, where the
Beales spent their winters. were ar

they were divided by allegiance to
antagonistic statesmen The disputes
between the Adams partisans and the
Iacksonians grew so bitter than the
boys decided to settle, ali their politi.
cal differences once for all by the an.
cient test of battle.
Ned Beale was the Jacksenlan
champion. and the Adamsites were
represented by boy named Evans,
who afterward became a distinguished
citizen OF Indiana The fsiic battle
was appointed to take place under q
long arch. which at that time marked
the southern entrance to the White
House grounds.
While the battle ragged and the en-.

A few years later. when Beale
reached his fourteenth year, his desire
to enter the navy became overwhelm

White House with his mother to see

The present demand for goat-kid
skins exceeds anything OF the Kind
before known, and the remostest
places in India, South. America and
Europe, and everywhere else goats are
kept. are now visited by collectors to
obtain them,
This demand arises from the recent
discovery OF new methods of treating
the skins, which not only make them
n substitute for calf-kid as shoe leath
err, but also render them suitable fol-
use in dress trimming When special
ly dyed and finished they find great

Treasure Hard to Get At.

News that fresh attempt is to be
made 20 recover sunEan' treasures
from the ship General Grant recalls
the story of that i'll fated vessel. She
sailed for London from Melbourne IN
1855 and was wrecked of the Auck-
land Islands, For two years her dis
appearance remained mystery. Then
chance led to the rescue of few sur.
vivors, who told how. the vessel had
been dashed against cliff 400 feet
high and in sinking had been swept
into cave at It's base. There for
close on half century the wreck has
lain In fourteen fathoms OF water
with treasure to the value OF 81. 250,.
600 In the bullion room to tempt the
treasure hunter, The estimate may
be an exaggeration. but the report
has already attracted FIVE well
equipped expeditions, The swirl OF
the tide and the deadly backwash
within the cave have so far detied the
efforts of the most skillruI and daring
divers TO reach the treasure. 1t re.
mains to be seen whether the sixth
attempt will share the failure OF its
predecessors.
