A PLAY ON EVERY NIGHT.
MINSTRELS AND MANHATTAN STOCK
COMPANY THE WEEK’S LIST.
Richard* A Pringle To-morrow
'.iglit to Be Followed by a Hcpcr
toire of Fopulur Plays—“ Human
Hearts" Next Week's Opening; At
traction Tbe Y. M. C. A. Star
Conroe to Open Nov. — l— Gossip of
the Theatrical World.
The Manhattan Stock Company will play
, very night this week except to-morrow
night and every afternoon except to-mor
row.
To-morrow night Richards and Pringle's
Georgia Minstrels will hold the boards.
Minstrelsy is an American Institution,
originating in this country, as it did, many
years ago, and holding its place in stage
amusement through all the changes made
necessary by a fickle-minded public. It
stands as one of the leading factors in the
atricals. There is no entertainment that
is patronized so largely by all classes of
theater-goers a3 minstrelsy. A great
many people talk of the good bid time of
minstrelsy, and it is right they should.
Richards & Pringle's, with Rusco & Hol
land's operatic minstrels, give an old-time
minstrel show, with features up to date,
carrying over forty people, using two cars
to transport them. The show has been
seen here before, and was a good one.
The Manhattan Stock Company played
"A Celebrated Case” at yesterday's mat
inee and “The Hand of Fate” last night.
The repertoire for this week is as follows:
Tuesday matinee, “Hand of Fate;” Tues
day night, ‘‘Mr. Barnes of New York;
Wednesday matinee, “Rosedale;" Wednes
day night, “Wife for Wife;” Thursday
matinee, ‘‘Arabian Nights;” Thursday
night, ‘‘Blue Grass;” Friday matinee,
"Wife for Wife;” Friday night, “Banker’s
Daughter;’’ Saturday matinee, “Camille;”
Saturday night, “Arabian Nights.”
Next week, Monday and Tuesday nights,
“Human Hearts” will be in Savannah.
Much has been said and written about
people who go to theaters and air their
knowledge of the play and the actors by
anticipating what is to come in the next
act, and who is to do it. Much more might
be said and written. The people who do
this sort of thing ought to be abolished.
A patron of the Savannah theater, who
has evidently suffered from the annoy
ance of being told by the person in front
of him or behind him or somewhere
around, all about what is taking place on
the stage, appeals for relief. It is not
likely, however that there Is any relief
from the practice. There are people who
will do It as long as theaters last.
Julia Arthur has at last reached the pin
nacle of her ambition. She has made a
hit in New York, and can safely be consid
ered a star of the first magnitude. The
Dramatic News says of her initial presen
tation of “A Lady of Quality;” “Possibly
one of the largest audiences of the present
season of Wallack’s theater assembled last
Monday night to witness the debut of Ju
lia Arthur first as a star then as the Clo
rinda of Mrs. Burnett’s play, over which
Mrs. Burnett and Daniel Frohman fell
out, and because of which Olga Nethersole
quit America. Mrs. Burnett had her own
ideas of a Clorinda. and she choose Julia
Arthur. Not knowing exactly Mrs. Bur
nett’s ideas of the character, we cannot
say whether Miss Arthur has come up to
expectations. The play was presented in
five acts, ail perfect so far as detail and
scenic art could permit. No less expensive
was the costumes and fixtures. They were
in harmony with the period of 1701, and
from the boisterous first act to the rose
garden set of the second act we find much
to approve. Both were well set. The bal
ance filled out the story in an acceptable
manner. Allowing for Miss Arthur’6 nerv
ousness, her Clorinda was a dignified crea
tion. It is quite a fit of a character re
quiring the profoundest study, and calls
for some personal beauty to make it exact
ing. These requisites Miss Arthur happily
possesses. She is a gifted woman with a
Charming personality and her talents show
out so strongly in the fourth act that the
success of the play as well as the star’s
Individual value were emphasized “A
Lady of Quality” without Miss Arthur
would be tame. With her It is a play to
talk about. Mrs. Burnett teaches us some
Pssons in the career of Clorinda Wildairs
and Miss Arthur helps to assert them so
strongly upon the public that it may be
eaid with a degree of much satisfaction
that both the star and the play are suc
<( ssful. Miss Arthur’s company is not so
happy in its construction. Edwin Arden
is weak where George Woodward is
strong; Florence Conron made a sympa
thetic Anne, and Joseph Alien was a capi
ta! comedian. Of the authors, including
Stephen Townsend, little need be said. “A
Lady of Quality” has prospered. Wallack’s
theater has been nightly filled with fash
ionable audiences, and Miss Arthur’s
triumph goes oil record as being purely
< nnod. It is an absolute case where a
star has won on her merits.” Savannah
inns have an interest in Miss Arthur
• irough her connection with the old Ford
Dramatic Association's summer engage
ments several years ago.

Frederick Lemaitre, the famous French
comedian, who died in 1875, and to whose
memory a monument is soon to be erected
in Paris, began his stage career in a hum
ble way. The Gaulois tells the story of
his first appearance, which was in the
theater of the Varietes Amusuntes. Tali
and athletically built, young Lemaitre
presented himself before the director of
the theater, who asked him what especial
roles he wished to play.
“Oh, I’m not particular!” was the cheer
ful reply.
“Very well; consider yourself engaged.
From to-day you are a member of my
troupe at a salary of 30 francs ($6) a
month. Are you satisfied?”
“I should be hard to please if I were
not."
“In that case you may begin your work
on the day after to-morrow.”
“But—my part?”
“Oh, it will not take long to learn
that. You have strong lungs? Just shout
a bit to let me hear if you have.”
Frederick Lemaitre gave a roar which
shook the windows in their casements.
“Splendid!” exclaimed the director, en
thusiastically. "You will make a magnifi
cent lion.”
“A lion?” repeated the astonished appli
cant.
“Why, yes, a lion; I predict certain suc
cess for you, considering how you can
roar.”
Two days later the young artist, envel
oped in a magnificent lion skin, made his
debut on all fours in a pantomime of Py
ramus and Thisbe.

George H. Summers says to the Mirror:
“If you should number among your read
ers persons who believe in ‘hoodoos,’ here
is a coincidence which ought to prove
very Interesting to them. When the dome
fell on the audience at Robinson’s opera
house, Cincinnati, on Oct. 16, there were
thirteen names on the cast of ’Dangers of
a Great City.’ It fell on Friday, and Alice
Opie was doing her ‘Yellow Kid' specialty.
Here is a combination of thirteen, yellow
and Friday, which in the minds of be
lievers in hoodoes ought to have a ten
dency toward causing almost any ca
lamity.”

WHY ANIMALS FEAR MAN.
Tlie Feeling Is Not Natural. Bat Is
tlie Resnlt of Experience.
From the Boston Journal.
From my own observation and from com
paring notes with other naturalists and
hunters, I am of the opinion that all wild
animals learn to dread man only when
they find him to be an enemy bent on their
destruction. As long as he comes and
goes without disturbing them—unless they
regard him as their natural prey—they
care as little for his presence as they do
for that of other animals that have no
motive for injuring them.
Birds, for example, that have learned
to dread man’s destructive gun, have no
fear of the horse, the cow or the sheep.
When a farmer sees, perched on a limb
of a tree, a hawk, which he knows is plan
ning a visit to his hen yard, he mounts
his horse, and, with gun in hand, rides
within easy shooting range of the hawk.
The bird cannot at that distance seperate
the hostile man from the harmless horse.
It is interesting, too, to observe how
much greater is the dread of wiid crea
tures of their natural brute foes than for
man. The squirrel, which hides in ter
ror from the falcon or the cat, will lio In
saucy familiarity almost within reach of
the school girl rambling in the woods.
Once, after amusing myself in my garden
with the motions of a toad, as it hopped
lazily out of the way of my foot, I stepped
back to watch it from a greater distance.
Presently I noticed it making great leaps
in frantic haste, and, looking for the cause,
I spied a garter snake gliding through the
grass in swift pursuit of the ill-fated ba
trachian, whose movements now were in
striking contrast with those of a few min
utes previous. I quickly rescued the pant
ing fugitive, for the Insect-devouring toad
is the gardener's friend.
In these days .of geographical research,
when the oid ."unexplored regions" are al
most banished from our maps, it Is no easy
matter to find a territory into which neith
er the sa'vage hunter nor the civilized
sportsman has ever penetrated. It has
never been my good fortune to set foot in
such a region, but trustworthy observers
inform us that in isolated sections, such as
the Galapagos Islands, where human be
ings had seldom been seen, the wild deni
zens of earth and air were perfectly
“tame,” or, In other words, indifferent to
the presence of hian. We read of hermits
who, hiding away In remote wilds, “the
world forgetting, by the world forgot,” or
on broad estates from which human Intru
ders were rigorously excluded, sit, sur
rounded by birds, squirrels and even rab
bits, in fearless and contented Intimacy.
Kangaroo Tall Soap.
From the London Chronicle.
A correspondent writes: Beading that a
consignment of kangaroo tails had reach
ed this country from Australia, I hasten
ed to John S. Fitter & Son, the great pur
veyors, of Leadenhall market, and pro
cured a big one for a couple of shillings.
I handed it in its canvas wrapper to my
cook, simply saying: “We will have this
at dinner to-morrow.” Her surprise when
she opened the package and after much
consideration pronounced It to be a "seal’s
tail,” was great, but she treated it as one
does ox-tail, and I can assure your read
ers that a more delicious and nourishing
soup does not exist than that which re
sulted. For the benefit of invalids in par
ticular I think this fact should be known.
But how, I sthould like to know, do so
many kangaroos come to be robbed of
their great caudal appendages?

KEEPING HANDS OFF.
THE PRINCE OF WALES’ INVAItIA
BI.E KI LE OF NEUTRALITY.
He Learned It From Ills Parents, and
the Queen Still Iligidly Adheres to
It—Partisanship of Other Mon
n rolls.
From St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Although there appears to be a dispo
sition both in England and abroad to con
demn tlie action of the Prince of Wales
in declining to Intervene in the great la
bor war which has been raging for some
time past between the engineers and the
trades associated therewith on the one
hand, and a l>4fcttj)tion composed of their
employer* iiVttt other, yet there is no
doubt that in refusing to assume the role
either of arbiter or of mediator in the
matter he has manifested both sagacity
and tact. It is perfectly true that any
one who could bring about a settlement of
the conflict in question would be conferr
ing a lasting benefit upon his fellow-coun
trymen and upon the nation at large. For
the fight has paralyzed not merely one
branch of industry, but a large number,
forcing the consumer to seek foreign
sources of supply, to which he will proba
bly in future adhere, thus decreasing
those markets for British manufactures
that are annually becoming more and more
restricted by American and German com
petition. Besides this, the strike, which
has lasted already several months, has re
duced to want and untold misery not mere
ly the more than 500,000 men who ore
“out,” but what Is far worse, their wives
and their little ones; that is to say, tak
ing it all la all, a community of people
numbering considerably over 1,000,000. The
prince’s critics draw attention to these
circumstances, and point out that if ever
there was an instance where his acknowl
edged pre-eminence as a peace-maker
might be turned to profitable account it is
in the present case.
Tite reasons which have prompted the
prince to decline are due, in the first p.ace,
to the fact that, no matter what the award
of the arbitrator or the character of the
compromise effected by the mediator, it is
certain to be equally unwelcome to both
parties of the dispute, since neither one
nor the other obtains the full measure of
its demands and will consequently be dis
posed to bear a grudge against the indi
vidual who has by his reasonings induced
it to recede from the stand which it had
made. The unpopularity thus reaped by
the prince would have reflected, not only
upon himself personally, but likewise up
on that throne which In these modern
times must look to the good-will of the
masses as the principal source of its
strength and foundation. Secondly, the
prince has made a practice throughout his
public life—that Is to say, since he came
of age, about forty years ago—to steer
clear of every public controversy or dis
pute where he would be required to take
sides.
Of all the lessons taught to him by his
wise and clear-sighted father, the late
Prince Consort, there is none that has
more firmly impressed itself upon his mind
than that of the necessity of absolute im
partiality on the part not ony of a consti
tutional sovereign, but also on that of the
latter’s apparent. The crown to-day is
not the despot, but merely the executive,
the servant, so to speak, of the will of the
nation, and In order that the latter should
have absolue confidence in the occupant
of the throne it is necessary that the peo
ple should feel assured of the soverign’s
readiness to conform to their wishes. These
are sometimes voiced by one political party
and sometimes by the other. Only if the
people can feel that theii monarch is ab
solutely impartial, that there is on the
part of the executive no preference for one
platform more than for the other, can they
repose that blind trust in their ruler which
is indispensable to sentiments of loyality
and affection.
Prior to Queen Victoria's marriage she
showed a tendency to follow the example
of her uncles, King George IV and King
William IV, who had identified themselves
with one or the other of the political par
ties of the day to such an extent that a
mere ministerial defeat, either in parlia
ment or at the general elections, devel
oped Into the proportions of a popular
slap in the face to the sovereign, to the
detriment of the dignity and influence of
the crown. Indeed, at no time in English
history had the prestige of the throne
reached so low an ebb as at the time of
Queen Victoria’s accession. A mere girl
at the time, she at first placed herself
too unreservedly in the hands of the earli
est of her premiers. Lord Melbourne, whom
she grew to look upon as her political
mentor, and for a time it seemed as if
the errors of the previous reigns were
about to be continued. But her marriage
brought about a beneficent change In this
respect. For Prince Albert, in spite of
his youth, was. perhaps, Just because he
happened to be a foreigner, able to take
a clearer and more independent view of
the situation than any Englishman, and
to perceive that the true source of the
strength, influence and prestige of consti
tutional monarchy in Great Britain lay in
Its absolute impartiality as far as the po
litical parties were concerned. From that
time forth Queen Victoria kept concealed
ftom public view her true sentiments with
regard to the platforms of the day. True,
she may sometimes have manifested a
greater degree of personal liking for one
statesman than the other, and there is r.o
doubt that during the latter portion of the
career of Lord Beaconsfleld he held a
higher place in her affections and friend
ship than his political opponent, M.*
Gladstone. But that did not in any way
mean that her majesty preferred the con
servatives to the liberals, nor was it in
terpreted as such, since her son-in-law,
the Marquis of Lome, sat In the House of
Commons on the liberal benches, and ths
husband of her granddaughter, the Duke
of Fife, of fhom she was always particu
larly fond, was likewise a liberal, while
to-day there Is reason to believe that Loid
Rosebery is far more persona grata at
Windsor and Osborne than Lord Salis
bury.
There were, to be sure, speculation*
about the queen’s political preferences.
But nothing positive was known about the
matter until the other day, when the na
tion was startled to find that Lord Ten
nyson’s life of his father, the greatest
poet of the Victorian reign, contained not
one, but several private letters of her ma
jesty. bearing her signature, and addressed
to the bard, in which she assailed in the
strongest manner possible, not only Mr.
Gladstone, but his policy, especially with
regard to Ireland. In fact, so vehement
was she about the matter that It is difficult
to conceive how she would ever have been
able to bring herself to give the royal
sanction to the home rule bill, had It
passed the House of Lords. Until the pub
lication of this book, no one knew exactly
how the queen viewed Mu Gladstone’s
Irish policy. There were many rumors on
the subject. But there was absolutely
nothing decided on the subject, and under
the circumstances It is Impossible to avoid
a feeling of regret that the fair name for
strict political impartiality of near three
score years should have been impaired at
so late a period in the day by what can
only be regarded as the unfortunate Indis
cretion of a biographer, since her majesty's
conduct throughout her entire reign since
1840 shows how anxious she is to avoid
giving any public manifestation, whatever
concerning her party preferences.
Mr.T.F. O'DONNELL
One of Savannah's Aldermen and
Lending Citizens Testifies to All
bo'* Successful Treatment for
Hlieuntullsiu nut Kidney Troubles.
ALDERMAN T. F. O'DONNELL
This gentleman needs n>i introduction to
the people of this city. As one of Savan
nah’s most skilled mechanics, as proprie
tor of O’Donnell’s machine shops, ns one
of her most popular aJJcrmen, and ns an
energetic and public-spit it citizen lie Is
too well known to allow any statement
that he might make to go without attach
ing to it great weignt and with a knowl
edge that the facts nro precise,v as slated
and the details given with the utmost pre
cision.
A VICTIM OF RHEUMATISM
Some time ago Mr. O'Donnell had the
misfortuitfc to become the victim of that
much dreaded disease rheumatism, and
so severe was the attach of llie complaint
that for several weeks he was deprive] of
the use of his arms and suffer
ed great pain and inconvenience.
The form of the disease was
what Is termed inflammatory rheuma
tism and in the sub-ac ate stag * So great
was the pain and to such on extent was
the swelling In the parts affected thal Mr.
O’Donnell was Incapacitated from attend
ing to any business, and during a portion
of the time was confined to his bed. Added
to this was an attack of kidney complaint,
v. hieh but added fuel to tlie already fero
cious fire of the first ill, and verily Mr.
O'Donnell believed that “misfortunes nev
er come singly."
Medical assistance was invoked ami some
of the oldest experience 1 anl most suc
cessful of Savannah’s medical profession
were giv?.o charge of the case. Various
remedies were tried. Ointments and lini
ments and plasters galore were nnplied
and internal remedies were ordered freely.
Still the disease continued in Us severity;
the pains were not relieved and the swell
ings were not reduced. Bandages of plas
ter of paris and other ingredients were ap
plied and bound with an awful tightness,
only to result in increased agony to the
sufferer.
MR. O’DONNELL PAYS ABBO A
TRIBUTE.
Such was the condition of Mr. O’Don
nell when he decided to discharge from
the case the physicians whose skill and
judgment had not been successful and try
his fate with the much-talked of Abbo.
That he was well pleased and satisfied
with the result of this decision is best
shown by the statement of Mr. O'Donnell
himself.
"Yes, I am very much gratified,” said
Mr. O’Donnell this morning, “with the ex
cellent medical work done for me by Ab
bo, and I feel so grateful for the great
good that I have derived from what seems
to be his wonderful power and ability to
master disease that I cannot refrain from
publicly stating that I consider him the
greatest physician that I have ever met.
Judging from the efforts made by the phy
sicians who attempted to give me relief
before Abbo took the case I consider the
rapid cure which he made to be simply
marvelous. I do not mean,’* continued
Mr. O’Donnell, “to cast any reflection up
on the skill and ability of the older Physi
cians of this city. I believe we have
among them some as good as can be found
anywhere, but I am compelled to say that
Abbo is second to none, and It seems to
me that the wonderful success that follows
his work must result in his being recog
nized as occupying the topmost pinnacle.
“I am aware that there Is some feeling
against the Abbo Institute, but I think It
amounts to nothing only in a business
sense —much as one merchant making little
of his competitor’s business. I do not look
upon Abbo as a traveling specialist, neith
er can I see how such a eharge can be ma<se
against him. He has made Lhls his home
and, I understand, purchased the elegant
building which he now occupies, and cer
tainly proposes to remain. If the hue
and cry were raised against every new
physician who came to this city with a
view of establishing a practice as there
was against Abbo there would be but .yg ry
few here at present. No traveling spec
ialist who ever visited Savannah remained
but a month or two, and the fact that Ab
bo is increasing his practice daily after a
residence here of over two years seems to
be proof of his ability and skill. CMy ex
perience with him has certainly been a
happy one, and he has cured me of a most
painful disease when I was almost crazed
with suffering and when I had almost giv
en up all hope of relief. I will not hesi
tate to indorse his professional work at all
times.”
Equally careful has the Prince of Wales
been in this particular since he attained
his majority, and to this day not even
those who are his most constant associates
have the-slightest idea as to whether his
preferences are for the conservative, the
liberal or the unionist platform. In con
versation which I had in the spring of
1884 with Charles Stewart Parnell, the lat
ter on more than one occasion Insisted that
the prince was very favorably disposed to
ward home rule for Ireland, furnishing me
with what he held to be conclusive proof
about the matter, and I believe that the
chats which the Prince of Wales has had
with Chauncey Depew on the subject of
Ireland have left the American rallroatf
magnate with the same Impression upon
his mind. Far from being indifferent to
English party politics, there is every evi
dence to show that the prince Is profound
ly interested therein, qiilte as much as any
other cultured Englishman of the higher
class, since otherwise he would not devote
so' much of his time to listening to de
bates in the House of Lords, and more par
ticularly in the House of Commons.
Yet in spite of this, as well as of the
fact that almost his entire existence Is
passed In the fierce and powerful glare of
publicity, he has never yet betrayed the
slightest indication of any political pref
erence, and Is just as cordial and as friend
ly to Mr. Gladstone as he Is to Lord Salis
bury’, and to Mr. Chamberlain as be Is to
Henry Libouchere, who during his recent
stay at Marienbad was, In spite of his anti
monarchial utterances, a constant asso
ciate of the prince and a frequent guest at
the table of his royal highness.
Similar tact has been displayed by the
i prince with regard to foreign countries.

more to France than toward Germany. He
kept the true stale of his feelings carefully
concealed during the war of 1870, and is
certain to do so again should the occasion
arise for the exercise of similar discretion.
Indeed, the remarkable tact which this
warm-hearted, generous-minded and some
what impulsive prince has displayed in
connection with his attitude toward both
domestic and foreign politics constitutes
the strongest possible assurance that when
the time comes for him to take tile place
of his venerable mother as the ruler of
the British empire he will worthily con
tinue the traditions of Impartiality
which she has imparted to constitutional
monarchy in England. Let me add here
that the prince is quite as much interest
ed In foreign affairs as he is in those do
mestic, and that whenever an important
dispatch reaches the foreign ofliee from
abroad a copy of It is at once forwarded
by wire, not only to the queen, but also to
the Prince of Wales, who is thus able to
keep himself quite as well posted urxrn In
ternational relations as is the queen her
self.
It may be timely to point out here that,
although all monarchies In Europe save
those of Russia and Turkey, are what is
known as constitutional, yet there is not
one sovereign of them all who can loast
of a similar strict regard for political im
partiality to that preserved by Queen Vic
toria and her eldest son. In Belgium we
find King Leopold in open conflict with
Ms ministers and with the parliamentary
majority on the subject of the increase of
the army and of the for
eign relations, the king in
clining toward Germany, while the admin
istration and the nation at large prefer
France. In Spain the queen regent had
Just turned out of office a cabinet which
possessed a parliamentary majority, and
has called to power an administration
which merely represents a small minority
of the national legislature. In Italy the
king Is so much at variance with his prime
minister with regard to the increase ot
the army, the situation in Africa and the
relations with France aqd with Germany
that crisis is looked for as soon as Iho
chambers reassemble, his majesty’s avow,
ed preferences being for the political op
ponents of Rudlpl. In Denmark It Is the
king’s favor and influence, unconstitu
tionally exercised, that keep his conserv
ative friends in power, in spite of the fact
that they represent not the majority, but
the minority, In the legislature, and tlie
same thing is the case in Norway, while
Emperor William has to such an extent
shelved constitutional doctrine* In Ger
many that the only basis of official power
and ground for office Is the favor of the
crown.
Ii), conclusion It may be stated that,
while the prince has Invariably refrained
from interfering either as an arbiter or
es a mediator in any political or public
controversies, he has throughout his mar
ried-life shown not only a readiness but
likewise a remarkable skill in reconciling
differences between families and between
friends. No one living has contributed
more to the disappearance of unkindly
feeling between husbands and wives, be
tween children and their parents, and he
tween friends temporarily parted. He Is
peculiarly qualified for this sort of work
by his tact, his kind-heartedness, and.
above all, by his unrivaled knowledge of
all the ins and outs of society, both at
home and abroad, as well as the antece
dents, the tastes,, the shortcomings and
the aspirations of the various members
thereof. It was he who persuaded the
Prlncesse de Sagan to come to the rescue
of her eldest son. with whom she had
quarreled, when the young man was lock
ed up in prison on a charge of forging the
name of young Lebaudy, both his libera
tion from Jail and the withdrawal of the
criminal charge being mainly due to the
prince’s Influence. It is the British heir
apparent, too, who is credited with bring
ing together the Prince and Prlncesse de
Sagan in the eventide of their life, after
a separation of thirty years. And It was
to him, also, that the widowed Countess
of Dudley appealed to help her to save
her eldest son from ruin previous to his
marriage, when he was wild. Not merely
scores, but hundred* und even thousands
of analogous incidents, both in England
ami on the continent, could tie cited, and,
Indeed, matters have reached such a pass
that whenever anybody In the great world
In England, or even on the continent, gets
into domestic trouble of one kind or an
other he or she instinctively turns for
advice and assistance to the Prince of
Wales, the arbiter of society, not only in
England, but also in Paris, where In roy
alist circles he Is accorded a homage In
this respect which should belong by right
to the Duke of Orleans. Ex-Attache.
A CHEST OF GOLD.
Wealthy Pension Agent Forgot To
Mention It In Ills Will.
Washington Cor. St. Louis Republic.
"You may talk about the wonderful dis
coveries of gold In the Klondike Region,"
said a prominent lawyer to the Republic
correspondent, “but one of the richest gold
finds of the year occurred right here in
Washington. I will not mention names,
but the gentleman referred to was known
all over the country as one of the wealth
iest pension agents and publishers of the
present day.
"A short time after he died his executors
were engaged in making an examination
of his effects. His will had been drawn
carefully and all his real and personal
property was supposed to bo distributed
among his relatives and friends, accord
ing to Ills last wishes. One day in clearing
out the safe in the bulldiiTg which still
bears the captain’s name an oid chest was
discovered in one of the dark corners of
the vault. It had been there for years, and
was supposed to contain only some plates
and drawings of #ar pictures used in
connection with a book of war stories. The
executors had passed the old chest by
without examining its contents, supposing,
of course, that it contained nothing but
the plates and drawings, as Indicated by
the marking on the outside. One of the
clerks engaged in the work had curiosity
enough to take a peep into the chest. When
the loose drawings were removed a sight
met his gaze that fairly took bis breath
away. There, nestling among the sheetfe
of war pictures at the bottom of the chest,
was an immense pile of gold coin, which
amounted to something more than S6O,(XXX
“There were gold pieces of every de
nomination. from $1 to S2O. The discovery
was so unexpected that the executors were
at a loss for some time to account for the
pile of treasure. The latest will wai care
fully scrutinized, but nothing in it could
be found relative to the unlooked-for gold
deposit. Various theories were' advanced
to explain the accumulation of coin, and It
finally was concluded that the captain had
followed the example of other cautious
capitalists during the last raid on the
treasury gold reserve and had hoarded the
amount found in the chest. The coin look
ed as though it might have been dropped
into the chest carelessly, for the various
denominations were in confusion. The ex
ecutors were unable to account for the
omission of the, gold pile In, the will, for.
although the captain was a great spender,
he usually kept a clear account of his se
curities. It Is possible that he may have
been engaged in hoarding gold pieces for
a number of years prior to his death, and
when his fatal illness came on he may
have forgotten the gold lining to the old
chest containing the war pictures. Of
course, the gold wnz carefully counted and
entered up as a very desirable part of the
estate.”
The pension agent referred to will be
recognized readily ns the late Capt.
George E. Lemon. His pension cases were#
allowed by the Harrison administration at
the rate of hundreds daily, and on each
he got a fee of $lO. The gold was only a
small portion of his persona) property.
He had in his possession a note for $25,000
signed by the republican commissioner of
pensions, for money loaned to the com
missioner.
