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.

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. Foe was buried October V, 1819. His grave was unmarked for years, ond in 1865 toe school teachers -took the matter In hand. By entertainments and collections they, secured 8M7.65. There toe fund remained for several years more. Finally, m 1876. an appeal was made to George W. ChtIMs, who made up the 81.000.

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.

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.

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 baSievws today as *t ever bad. No later than June fast a OmnecticUt syndlcvitc was dlari-nra: un toe boritem of the '•■'and »(T Fort Jforels. end nvsoy sim ilar a-rteimirits h-ve been mfide be tween tow nnVnv -wid TTell Gtete. 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.
