Taken In conjunction with other cir-

Democratic press of Tennessee under

crod"table. We believe, without ..xcep-
don, the dolly newspaper* of the state
ore denouncing the suspected "con
spiracy as they term It, in rile strong
est language, sod demanding that, if
Evans was (footed, be Iki given the
seat. A few yean ago. it Is safe to

AT EDGAR ALDAN POE'S GRAVE.
Marked Increase tn toe Dally Number
of Visitors.
- 'Baltimore. Nov. 17.—Today Is the
anniversary of toe dedication of Che
monument to Edgar Allan Poe. It la
an humble memorial, end Us cost was
only Jl.OOO. but It atracts as much at
tention as any monument In the city,
not excepting the stately Doric column
of White marble on. Mount Vernon
Place, which wua toe first monument
erected to George Washington in tola
country.
The anniversary Is noteworthy, be
cause within toe past few months there
has been an unprecedented general
revival ot Interest tn Poe and his e-arly
history In Baltimore.
The authorities In charge of -the
church In whose gravayurd Poe was
burled have been receiving letters from
different parts of toe world asking for
photograipns of tho grave and seeking
whatever personal Information they
can obtain. The teuren fur auto-
■nohs h!»i tnorcase'd.
Visitors from abroad and from this
country make toelr pilgrimage to toe
oemetery as one of toe first objects
of Interest In Che city. The number
of -tiliese dally visitors to toe poet's
grave Is growing tall Che time. A
French painter, who came to Baltimore
recently, gathered several Ivy leaves
and sent them by ronlt to his friends
In France. A Baltimore man who
once called on Tennyson was told by
the poet that his strongest detire to
visit America was In order Chat he
might pay his respects to the grave
of Edgar Allan Poe.
,Fo* is burled in the graveyard of
the old Westminster Presbyterian
church, Which stands on she sourheoe:
comer of Fayette and Green streets.
Living under the church Is toe eexton,

He added that mere was but one

Through tols fence toe monument
easily can be seen. The place Is In
the heart of the city. Lines of streqt
cars Intersect at that point, and oppo
site Is -on, of to* schootaouses now
being used as the city college while
t-he new city college Is being construct
ed. On toe other comer-ralao opposite
the -monument—is one of toe grammar
schools.
It Is especially lifting that the pub
lic schools should be standing sentinel,
so to speak, over -too poet's grave, for
it was the public school teachers of
Baltimore, who, after yeans of hard
work, and, finally, by he cooperation
of George %V. O.ilJAs. raised the funds
which paid for the monument.

The Big Stew That Won a Gold Medal
From Baltimore Epicures.
, The Mechanlce' Exchange Fishing
Club gave Its eeoortd oyster roast of
the sturon on Sunday. About 100
persons were present at the ehxrje ot
the club, which Is lust north of Stone
House Cove, Custis Bay. The hours
were from 11 a. m., to 6_ jx m. The
guests came early, and al> had a
time.
The manage:- of the roost were Pres
ident Frederick J. Hesse, Vice Presi
dent Henry Struct-, Secretary George
W. Neverker. Treasurer William Eck-
hardt, Jr. They provided ten barrels
of select oysters In the shell And five
gallons of ehucked, which -were served
In all styles. - - - --
200 souare feet toe treasure story may
be settled definitely.
And If It proves true—this story of
British guineas—toe speculators' will
bd richly rewarded. The Hussar was
a 32-gun tolp. and about 200 feet long.
She arrived here In 'November, 1730, in
company with the man-of-war Mer
cury. Together they carried $4,800,000,
which was intended to pay off the
British troops 1n America. The Mer
cury remained here and the Hussar,
taking -on board toe treasure of «Sr
sister ship, set sail for New London.
Although toe olio! was not very fa
miliar with the channel, toe captain
decided to rave some time by taking
a short cut in passing Hell Gate. The
Hussar struck a sunken' reef, and as
she.was -badly damaged, her dom-
nrander decided to run Lei- ashore.
She had taken on board seventy-
prisoners of -war from the prison ship
before leaving New -York. and. as her
hold was filled with stores, they had
been chained to the gun deck. As their
-fate was of little consequence, toe
captain did -not release them, but kept
hie crew at work in an attempt to get
the Hussar to the beadh before she
foundered.
Hawsers were carried ashore and
fastened to trees, and an attempt was
made to -wa-rp IKe vessel In; But be
fore much progress had been made She
filled, heeled over, tore up the trees
by the roots and sank In eighty feet
of water, drowning her manacled pris
oners. Some of the crew esoaped.
From that time forward stories of
the Hussar’s sunken -guineas led to
all aorts of attempts to acaulre sud
den wealth by their recovery. A Brit
ish company sent trwo brigs to the
.. soot in 1819. but the Unmed States
a good - government refused to permit them to
anchor over toe -treasure. Later on at
tempts were made to hf.ow up the
wreck with dvn-aimito: but up to date—
unless some luckv and secretive Indi
vidual -hid success -and -fortune under
the guise of failure—toe guineas have
been undisturbed.
There is one story, that has always

ter. A raw box was opened on toe
outside. The roasting pan waB well
patronized. Large wood fires made
the rooms comfortable.
President J. Heese, Louis Plack, and
J. B. Lots engaged In a stewing con
test. Etich was required! -to shuck
enough oysters to make a stew of two
gallons. The prize was a gold medal,
which was won by President Hesse,
Engraved on the medal was: "Cham
pion Oyster Stewer of the Mechanics’
Exchange Fishing Club, 1894.”
President Hesse proceeded as follows:
After shucking half a gallon oi es-
lecu, he strained the meat from the
liquor, and put -the latter Into a large
Iron pan on tho fire. After It had
come to n boil,, he skimmed the liquid
and then added one quart of water.
This mixture was allowed to boil, and
the oysters were -then added. One
quart of milk was then put lm and
seasoning of pepper and salt followed.
The mixture was again allowed to
come to toe boiling point and a half
pound qf butter was added.. The atew
was then served hot.
In making fritters, John Claibe and
C. Clarke were the contestants. The
latter won, Klabe surrendering be
fore the fritters were baked. Mr.
Clark’s receipt for 200 fritters was
Twenty pounds of flour, eight eggs,
one tableopoonful of yeast powder, one-
half cup ot salt. The fritters were
fried in small sizes, the size of a hand,
In boiling lard.
BURIED GOLD AT HELL GATE.
New Plan to Recover $4,800,000 of
Sunken British Treasure.
There in a now pQan afloot to mfso
the treasure that won't down with toe
British nrtaiKif-wur Huatar m-tion dho
foundered off Port Morris'In 1780, surd
curried to -the bdtrtoin sevetrty prisoners
who were waouded on her gun deck
and British guineas to the amount of
$4,800,000.
There have been, many attempts t»
recover the sunken treasure by too use
of dyteunOte and -too work of divers,
but, as far as is known, all have bean
fruitless.
The plan -which Is to be put in oper-
fl-tl'M In a fuw days Is the most novel
yet devised. George YV. Thomas of
Orange, N. J., who Is said to represent
a sjmdicate, -wfih a chpCttti of $730,uu^,
liras chartered the tug Olrester, owned
By E. R. Lowe, a Coeratlra Blilp
wrecker, and fitted her out with wreck
ing appliances of toe latest pclteru.
The bout hhs been undergoing repairs
ha Hdlldtit’s Core tor some weeks, and
Is now about ready for her work.
The Ohreter will be mowed exactly
above the opot -where the wreck lies,
cud so moored rhti-t it will renfa-'.n-sta
tionary retfanHess of toe tides. This
to Stsdlf will be a fenlt alirtended by no
11 Wo difficulty, for It will be necessary
to carry -ttw» stout hawsers ashore, in
addition to the four anchors -which will
be got dawn to wiwinl und from the
bow and stem.
The work of toe previous explorers
of tiie bottom ltis been Interrupted
by the rapidity with which the current
filled up choir fenbmkrine onaavutions.
The pfran upon which Mr. Thonxis will
proceed will avoid trouble of this kind.
The wreck Is almost completely bu
ried, and the rand fa packed compactly
about toe hull v Divers wit be scat
d-wvn to Socueu toe saintl and earth thait
hklea tine wreck at a given point. At
that point a big tube, connected with
a powerful suction pump on board tho
Chester, will be applied. The lohacned
materihl v^pl thus be pumped to the
surface and then shot through a g'aut
slevo. The sieve wfH not permit the
p-vvatite of anything as large as a
guinea. '
That Is toe general pfai-.. The wreck
ers and divers -will dig and pump until
they have filled the stove w th British
gold or are satisfied that: they liave
worked over cun area so large that tho
story of the HuRfatie treueuro has been
proved a myth.
Hv? men wto have attempted to
reach toe ooff<v of the Hussar since
1870 have faSle-t In every inrrtjnoe, if
they are to -be &' ev-ed, but toe etoty
of -he sunken gold hhs Just ns many

It Is believed now that the
hutl of the wrecked warshlo baa been
nlcetv. and that by ex-
that her treasure was carried away by
men -who -hatched rthe plot under her
ensign.
Mr. Thomas and his suction pump,
however, are new. and -he, at least,
believes that -he will pump up some
thing more valuable -than the rusty
buttons and water Buckets Which have
rewarded -the treasure-seekers Who
Kave preceded him.
A -CURE IFOR BORES.
Of the Hungarian statesman Francis
Deak It Is related that he used to rid
himself of troublesome visitors by tell
ing >them the following story:
"Once, -when In Paris. N-apoleon I
paid a. visit-to the hospital for of-d sol
diers. Here he oeticelved among the
rest a man -who -had lost one of nils
arms, and he entered into conversa
tion with -him.
'Where did you lose your anm?"
asked -the emperor.
lAt Watterioo. your majesty/
•Then, no doubt, you curse the em
peror and your country every time
you look at your -muttitarted Umb?'
" ‘No. Indeed.' protested -the veteran',
’for the emperor and my native land
I would readily sacrltloe ,my, other arm
If-needs be.’ ' • * » ■"
“I ca-n Hardly holleve tihat.’ the
emperor quietly remarked, and passed
But the soldier, anxious to prove
that he was in earnest. Immediately
drew a sabre from Its sheath and
topped off -the other aim.”
Here Deak would -cause and fix a
penetrating look on his visitor.
“77*51, what have you to say of such
a -man and suoh an act of self-Bacri-
flee?"
“A most sublime aot of self-sacrifice!
A truly noble characterf’ This was
the style of reply Invariably given.
“But -the story has one flaw,” he
would gravely add.
,r What is Ithat. nray?"
“It 5s simply Impracticable. How
could a one-arm man c'ontrive -to cut
off his remaining arm?"—-Aftonblndet.
