cave contains a mighty treasure OF
gold, but its entrance is closed by
giant OF granite under whose arm Is
a hole which is open only one year
and that on Good Friday. Then, and
then only, the giant raises his arm
and the man who can be there at that
time can crawl in under IL and set an
immense treasure of gold. As the story
goes, the gold is in piles so labeled
that only one pile is TO be taken at

~ RCOs, Peru. June 6.-Have you
ever heard OF Urcos2 1t IS a
- little mud town on the railroad
IS mora than two miles above the sea,
high ~ in the Andes and not far from
Lake Urcos. IN which are said TO be
buried treasures Of the Incas worth
many millions. When the Spaniards
under PiZarrc had killed the Inca king
Atahualpa they marched upon CuZco.
The indians knew their greed for the
precious metals, and they took most
of their treasures from the capital city
and secretly buried them. According
TO tradition, they threw millions OF
dollars worth OF gold into this lake,
and with other things the great golden
chain that ran around their main
plaza This plaza remained intact IN
til a few years ago It was about 500
feet long and several hundred feet
wide, so that the length Of the chain
was probably between 1000 and 1000
feet The chain was pure gold, wrought
into links about a foot long and as
large around as the wrist of a man.
The links were so heavy that a man
could not lift more than one Of them
at a time, and it is aid that hundreds
Of indians were required TO carry the
chains. They took il up the valley
Of CuzcO and threw il into the lake
and there 1t IS supposed to lie 10 this
day, although many nave Searcned LOr
# in vain. The treasure hunters have
dived into the waters and clawed over
the mud near the shore They have
also dragged the lake with graphing
hooks, but in places it is exceedingly
deep. and so far the treasure has not
been discovered At one time a syn
dicate was organized to drain the lake.

NEGRO POPULATION
OF LARGE CITIES.

The Philadelphia Ledger puts to-
gCther some interesting figures as
to the negro population il the !arg-
est cities of the country.
Washington, D. c., heads the list
with the largest negro population
the total being 94,446. as against
91,709 in New York city, although
the total population in New York is
fourteen or fifteen times that OF
Washington.
Other cities show the following
population of negroes:
New Orleans, S9,262; Baltimore
Sa,749; Philadelphia, S4,459; Mem.
phis, 52,441; Birmingham, 52,3O5
Atlanta, 51,9O2; Richmond, Va, 49,,
1873; Chicago, 44,1O3: St. Louis, 43,
oGO, Louisville, 4O,522; Nashville
36,529; Indianapolis, 2i,Sl6.
In proportion to population there
are aln,cst exactly as many negroe:
in Baltimore as in Louisville. New

Wheeler, aged 35, of New York, died
three hours later at the Delaware

OPPOSITION TO
MIR. HART.

The Richmond Journal finds that
MIR. John NJ. Hart, whose nomination
to the dictatorship Of the Western
Revenue District was sent to the
Senate Saturday, is in pretty bat
way. 1t is understood that both Tho
Virginia senators will oppose the
confirmation Of Mr.. Hart. This al.
most certainly means the withdraw
al CT his name by President Wilson
Senatorial courtesy forbids a en-
ator voting to confirm an appoint
ment which is opposed by the sena,
tors from the appointee's State.
In addition to the very pressing
trouble which ccnfronts him in the
Senate, Mr.. Hart appears to have
lost out with a considerable por-
ton of the home folk. The Roanoke
WorldNews, which warmly urged
his appointment, recently broke
with him because of his opposition
to the "red light" bill at the recent
session of the Legislature. Thus
the World News, which is one of tho
principal anti-organizaticn papers
of Virginia, is backing Senator
Martin ard Senator Swanson II
their opposition to the confirmation
of Mir. Harris nomination.
