He Might Have Had $4,000,000 to Put With It if He Had Known. From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Treasure seekers continue to manifest much interest hunting for the hiding place cf the late Ansel White’s money. He was known to have possessed over $3,000 in gold at the time of his death. A few months ago it was learned that he was the sole heir to a New York estate worth $4,000,000, and it was thought, at one time, he had made Pres- ton Troy, a young lawyer of Olympia, the sole beneficiary. He became heir to the im- mense fortune subsequenily to the execution of the will, and that trivial incident diverted the estates from falling into the hands of Mr. Tr. In the last few months dozens of people have visited the White ranch, near Dunge- ness, and, with divining rods, magnetic nee- dies, witchcraft, and with the advice re- ceived from fortune tellers and informal received from the fickle goddess of dreaa land, endeavored to find the hiding place of Ansel White's gold. The floors in his cabin have been torn up, the fireplace excavated and the walls of the house have been thor- oughly ransacked fore and aft, and if any one found the miser’s treasure, he has ke; the secret well. All through the fields, around the large proverbial black stumps, and in and out of way places, the aunters have conducted a systematic search without success. Every few days a new person puts in # mysterious appearance with a clue, leoks around for a few nours or days, and quietly disappears. Thus the mystery of Ansel White's buried treasures continues. +e Ownership of Made Land. From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald. The question of the ownership of land T™jaade by the changes in the current of the muddy Missouri having been decided in favor of the counties adjoining the stream and against those who owned land abutting the river, the county court of Buchanan county is anxicus to know just what amount of property the river has given them. Until quite recently, when this last decision was rendered, the rule was that all “accretions” or made lands belonged to the owner of the tract which abutted on the river before the fickle stream took a notion to hunt another channel, but this decision dispels that idea entirely, and the state and county school fund will be benefited ac- cordingly. sos The Plow Started a Fire. From the Cincinnati: Enquirer, George Vogel of York township, Ind., started a fire in a stubble field on his farm Friday in a very peculiar manner. He was plowing the dead weeds and dry stubble vurder the ground when his plowshare struck a big rock. The stroke of the steel upen the flinty surface of the stone caused it to emit sparks of fire that ignited the dry rubbish which surrounded it. This in- augurated a fire that, propelled by the wind, spread over the field and threatened to destroy his fences. He finally subdued the flames. e+ —____. A Queer Separation Ends.

TOMORROW'S GAME Harvard and Princeton to Meet on the Foot Ball Field. FIRST TIME SINCE THE SEASON OF ’39 — The Old Feud Yields to Mutual Good Feeling. DETAILS OF THE MAKE-UP —_—_-—_—_— Princeton and Harvard will meet tomor- rew afternoon on the foot ball field at Princeton for the first time since 1889. The last time these teams came together on the “gridiron” six years ago much bad feeling resulted, and Princeton's victory, was mar- red by the charges of rough play brought against them by the Harvard sympathizers. The breach was a wide one, too, and all efforts to bring the teams together again failed until this fall, when Harvard’s squabble with Yale paved the way for a reunion, and the two old enemies have now buried the hatchet and smoked the pipe of peace. Both teams kave been training hard for the event, and each will play all the tricks its players know before time is called, de- spite the fact that coathes from both Yale and the University of Pennsylvania will be watching every move as closely as so many ferrets. Princeton will meet Yale three weeks later in New York, and Har- vard will play Pennsylvania in Cambridge the same day. Princeton began this fall’s foot ball work with few of last year’s veterans, though among the substitutes of 1894 there were many promising men who did not graduate in the spring. “Beefy” Lea, last year's crack tackle, was chosen to guide the for- tunes of the team this year, and he has proved both popular and efficient as captain and coach. The Princeton men have met with about the usual number of accidents among the candidates for their team. In the center of the line Princeton is nearly as strong this fall as last. The absence of Wheeler from left guard will make a hole. He is coach- ing Riggs, last year's center, to fill his place at left guard, and Rhodes, the vet- eran rignt guard, will probably fill the same pesition again this fall. For the cen- ter a new man had to be trained. Captain Lea is a certainty for right tackle, while Church, one of last year’s substi- tutes, will probably fill the same_ position on the other side of the line. Cochrane, also a substitute last year, will probably play on one end, while Johnston, Knight and three or four others are trying for the other end. Behind the line, Princeton has many promising candidates, but most of them are new men. Pope, who played full back for the University of Virginia, is perhaps the best kicker among those trying for full back, though Bannard and Baird are both strong aspirants for the disputed place. Armstrong is perhaps the most brilliant of all the backs. The Princeton players have had the bene- fit this fall of a great deal of expert coach- ing by veteran Princeton players. While most of Harvard's rush line is com- posed of new men, she is particularly for- tunate in having so many of her last year's backs in college to play again this fall. The absence this fall of “Bob” Wrenn, the clever little quarter back, is the only important vacancy behind the line, and there are sev- eral men who promise to fill his shoes ac- ceptably. Wrenn himself is coaching the candidates for this position, and Borden for Beale will probably pass the ball for Har- yard in both her two big games.” Gonter- man ts the star half back of the team, and is almost sure of his place, while Charles Brewer will probably fill the other position. For full back Harvard will depend on Fair- child, last year's kicker, or Dunlop. In Harvard there seems to be‘a dearth of heavy men, and the crimson will have to depend on Doucette and Jaffray, two new men, and Holt, an experienced player, for the guards. Capt. Arthur Brewer will un- doubtedly play right end, while Newell will probably fill the other end of the line. Harvard has been practicing a number of new tricks under the altered rules, and some innovations may be expected from the erimson-legged men in tomorrow's game. The difference between the playing rules under which the games of Harvard and Princeton will be played in other cases has caused a compromise to be reached which will alter slightly the rules of each on this occasion. The changes, however, are all technical ones, and the game remains the same to the ordinary observer. Great preparations have been made at Princeton for this big game, and a large crowd is expected. Stands have been erect- ed upon the Princeton field which will ac- ccmmodate about 10,000 people, and special treins will b2 run from New York and Phila- delphia to accommodate the great crowd from both cities that will go to see the game. No big game has taken place in Princeton before since 1886, and this fact, coupled with the old rivalry between Harvard and Princeton, and their long separation, should greatly add to the attendance. DEPARTURE FROM CAMBRIDGE. Harvard's Eleven Leaves for Prince- ton. BOSTON, Mass., November 1.— Har- vard's foot ball contingent of twenty-six men, including Managers Moore and Rogers and Coachers Waters and Lewis, left Cam- bridge on their Journey to Princeton for tomorrow’s game at 8 o'clock this morn- ing. They left Boston by the Shore Line express for New York, to which a special ear for their occupancy was attached. They will go as far as Trenton, N. J., to- day, remaining at the latter place over night and going to Princeton early tomor- row morning. The men are all in fine con- dition and the managers and coachers are confident of a great game. The players will be followed by a party of about 8) onthusiastic students and others who go by the Fall River line boat tonight. Among the student body there is a strong belief that Harvard will win the game, and it is reported that those who go tonight will have plenty of money, which they will place on the crimson. ‘They will be due at Princeton tomorrow forenoon.

CORBETT AT LITTLE ROCK. Says He Doexsn’t Want Any of Fitz- simmons’ “Funny Work.” LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Noy. 1.—In com- pany with his manager, Brady, and his trainers, McVey, Delaney and Donaldson, Corbett arrived at Little Rock at 10 o'clock this morning. The champion left his room in the hotel at Hot Springs, and after breakfasting with Brady, started for the train. At the station he was followed by a crowd of men anxious to see him. While waiting for the train Corbett talked freely about the fight. “Of course,” he said, “I don’t know what the outcome of these legal proceedings will be, but I want the tring settled one way or the other pretty soon.” When asked 2s to the possibility of any trouble between Fitzsimmons and himself at Little Rock, Corbett said: “Well, something of that kind may hap- pen, but if # does, Fitzsimmons will have to start it. I won't begin it. But I want to say right now, that if that fellow does begin any funny work he is going to get licked, and get licked good and hard.” At the depot here a crowd of 1,000 per- sons was waiting to see the champion, and as he stepped from the train in a long overcoat, with his crimson sweater show- ing up, the pallor of his cheeks, induced by his training, he could scarcely move for the crowds. He finally managed to plough bis way through to a carriage, which was in waiting, and was whirled away to the Capitol Hotel, where he retired at once to his room to await the proceedings in the afterz:con. No matter what the result of the legal proceedings may be this afternoon, the chances are now 100 to 1 that there will be no fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons. ‘The latter made a statement at 11 o'clock today to the correspondent of the Associated Press which virtually disposes of the mat- ter. He said positively and in good, terse English, which admitted of no misunder- standing or misconstruction: There will be no fight in Arkansas. I am done with the Florida Athletic Club, and have no use for the citizens of Hot Springs. T tell you that there will be no fight in Ar- kansas.” He said, regarding the possibility of trouble between himself and Corbett, if they met: “I won't start any trouble, but there will be no Philadelphia business over again.” jen Will Not Challenge.

Gertrude Okie, claiming to be the natural daughter of the late Dr. William T. Okie, yesterday afternoon filed in the Probate Court a petition praying that the adminis- trator of her alleged father's estate, Mr. Walter C. Clephane, show cause why a search should not be made for a will which she declares was made in October, 1891, and in which she asserts she was made a beneficiary and one of the residuary lega- tees. Dr. Okie, who was a well-known Wash- ington physician, died at Bedford Springs, Pa., the 25th of last August, supposedly intestate. A short time ago Mr. Clephane, for the heirs at law, took out letters of ad- ministration, the estate consisting, it 1s sadd, of a small farm in Maryland, some Ivy City lots and stocks and bonds. Miss Okie, the petitioner, states that in the will referred to by her she was given $5,000, the rest of the estate being divided between her and the doctor's son Frederick. This will, she claims, was witnessed by J. H. Cassin, W. B. Griffith and E. H. Neu- meyer. The will, she claims, was deposited with the Washington Loan and Trust Com- pany as executor, and it is claimed that it remained in the company's possession until the 9th of last August, when, it is said, Dr. Okie sent for it. At this time, it is said, the doctor was at 1223 N street northwest. The house was that of Judge Geier, and was occupied by Miss Mary J. Snowden and other friends of the family, who were, it is said, taking care of the house during the absence of the family. Dr. Okie was ill at the time, and later he was removed to Bedford Springs. Miss Okie, as she claims to be, states thut Dr. Okie kept some of his private papers in an iren safe in the okl Adams Express Com- pany’s building, 225 Fennsylvania avenue northwest, and she prays that a search be made there and at the N street house, also at Bedford Springs, for the alleged will. ‘The petition of Miss Okie was filed by her next friend, Hattie L. Woodworth, and it is sald that the latter claims to be the mother of the girl. It.ijs said that Mrs. Woodworth, as she {s known, claims to have lived with Dr. Okie on his Maryland farm, ard that the petitioner was born there April 5, 1888. By the friends of Dr. Okie’s family it is claimed, however, that Dr. Okie continually repudiated the idea that he was the father of the child, and it is believed by them that the alleged wil] was destroyed by him, Judge Hagner today directed that the ad- ministrator of the estate:and others inter- ested show on the oth instant why a search should not be:made for a will In which the petitioner claims to have been made a beneficiary. —_ ELECTRIC BICYCLE LAMP. bs It Seems to Fill fhe’ RIN for Night Runs. From the Chicago Post. ¢ An electrical bicycle lantern has been invented, which is about as large as one- half of an ordinary sized peach, The reflector measures two and a half inches in diameter on the outside and is one inch in depth. The lamp itself is about the size of a hazel nut. The lantern looks pre- cisely like those on toy carriages. The battery is contained in a leather case nearly as large as a tool bag and is fastened to thg cross-bar in the same manner as the latteF’one. It consists of a three-cell stor- age battery. ‘The light is regulated, extinguished, or re- lighted instantly by the pressure of a but- ton, conveniently fastened on the handle- bar, without moving the hand. The battery furnishes light for two and a half hours. London is now engaged on a battery which will have a capacity for twelve hours with- out belmg recharged WILLIAM WILHELM I. The Late Emperor of Ger- many Loved Education. War Was Not His Choice, But Peace Tnstead. An Imperial Decoration as Acknowledg- ment Reward of Merit. It is quite the custom in speaking of William of Germany, the late em- peror, to take notice rather of his achievements in war than of his con- duct as a ruler in times of peace. His name is mentioned, and at once athwart the chambers of the memory there comes a whole troop of war- like shadows, these shadows of the Franco-German conflict, Metz, Grabelette, Sedan and Paris. But it was in peace, at home among his beloved subjects, in the workshop, in the marts of trade, in the schools and in the halls of legis- lation, that the best influences and inspirations of his brain were felt. The late Emperor of Germany loved his people. He loved educa- tion and did all he could to advance it throughout the length and breadth of his dominion. In him science found a ready and ever patron, and his acknowledgment of the efforts of German scientists was often shown in the most liberai and effec- tive manner. One illustration of this was shown by his personally acknowledging by letter the merits of the GENUINE JOHANN HOFF’S MALT EX- TRACT and his appointment of JO- HANN HOFF of Councellor of Commission, at the same time decor- ating him with the order of the crown. : Get only the GENUINE JO- HANN HOFF'S MALT EX- TRACT. All others are worthless. MORMON HAREMS IN MEXICO. If Polygamy is Abandoned in Utah, It is Not Across the Border. From the Butte Daily Inter-Mountain. Dr. A. C.. McDougall, who has been for several years located in Oaxaca, Mexico, was in the city last evening en route to northern Minnesota on a visit to his par- ents. “The Mcrmons have obtained a greater foothold down in the southern republic than most Americans are aware,” said Mr. McDougall last night, ‘“‘and Mormon col- onies have been established all over the foot hills of the Sierra Madres and in the dry and arid desert of Chihuahua. Do they live in open polygamy? Well, I should say they do. Their harems are on a grander scale than any ever seen in the early days in Utah, and they are absolutely safe from molestation, for the governors of the prov- inces have been bought. “They began coming to Mexico about ten years ago, when the government decided to enforce the Edmunds law by imprison- ing the polygamists. Sceing that the prac- tice of plurality of wives was doomed in the United States, the Mormons turned their eyes longingly to Mexico, where, down in the arid deserts, a safe haven of rest could be established. So successful have they been that, through hardships and ob- stacles that would have thwarted any other people, they have made the deserts blossom as the rose. They have colonies or settle- ments at Diaz, Jaurez, Pacheo and other places in northern Mexico, but these places were not desert ground by any means. Some of it was the most fertile agricul- tural ground in the republic. As a result, the Mormons now have a monopoly on ag- ricultural products and supply all the northern towns. “In Diaz, one of the colonies of the Mor- mons, a man who happens to be blessed with several wives has separate residences for them, generally adjoining each other. Each member of the colony is known as ‘brother’ or ‘sister,’ and if Brother Smith happens tc have a marital unpleasantness with Sister Jennie Smith (possibly wife No. 1) he seeks consolation at the home of Sis- ter Mary Smith (wife No. 2), and so on, until he has made the round of the ladiee comprising his family. There is no place for the new woman under the ruling spirit and control of this religion begotten of sensuality. Their belief in the hereafter is deification of the dead in proportion to the number of times the deceased has been joined in wealeck. A woman can be “*sealed’ or united even to one who is dead, if the powers that be deem it necessary that the deceased becomes sanctified. There is an element of terrorism in the system. In crder to reach the enjoyments of the here- after a woman's life must be such as to warrant her being ‘called’ by her husband to join the assembly of the glorified. It is polytheism, the leading spirit of the after world being Adam, and the next in rank Jesus Christ, Mahammed, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, and so on through numberless saints that are more difficult of enumeration than a row of ‘josses’ in a Chinese temple. Z “As colonists, however, and setting aside polygamy, the Mormons are a diligent and industrious people, naturally clannish and devoted to their own interests, The whole Mormon sect live under a sort of commu- nism. Applied to their own sect, they live under a sort of utilitarianism. Being all good farmers, their well cultivated acres form some of the choicest ranching prop- erties in all Mexico. Good roadmakers, the epproaches to their colonies are all well graded, well laid roads that offer an excel- lent example for their cruder Mexican neighbors. Their houses are all built on the American plan, and while plain and unostentatious, the Mormon towns remind s of the interior agricultural com:muni- “ties of the states. Thrifty and economical, they know how to drive a good bargain even in Mexico, and all of them are pros- perous. They have schools for their chit dren and temples for their worship.” OSTRICH FARMS IN THE SAHARA. A New Source of Supply of Plumes Suggested by a French Writer. A writer in La Revue Scientifique sug- gests that the French Sahara, upon the southern edge of Algeria, may be profita- bly used for the breeding of ostriches. The Barbary ostrich was once greatly prized for its plymage, and the ostrich feather houses of Paris made their reputations by the curling of these plumes. The wild Barbary ostrich is nearly extinct, so that there are no more plumes of the sort to be had, and the Parisian houses have lost their monopoly of ostrich feather curling. Indeed, a large part of the business has been transferred to other countries, nota- bly the United States. It is estimated that the world uses annually about $20,000,- 000 worth of ostrich plumes, ard the writer in La Revue Scientifique says that in view of the early adoption of European dress in the east, especially in China and Japan, the demand for this sort of personal adorn- ment is likely to increase. He urges, too, that the increased use of ostrich feathers throughout the civilized world is likely to protect other birds of fine plumage from destruction, and he calls upon the various societies interested in the protection of such birds to ald in making ostrich plumes more fashionable than ever. —+e2—___ A Good Story.

There can be no question about that. It would be rash indeed to prophesy that London so- clety will in future seasons continue to make pilgrimages on wheels to Battersea Park, or that cycling under any circum- stances will long remain a fashionable amusement. The vagaries of the fashion- able world are not to be predicted. But that the number of people who use their They Are Not Densely Ignorant About Financial Matters, aa Supposed. From Harper's Bazar, x. The opinion has generally prevailed among men, or at least has been expressed for centuries, that women are densely and incurably ignorant about money. “He knows no more of money than a woman,” is almost a proverb. The absurdest stories ere perpetually told of woman's total in- capacity to learn anything about money, and some of them are doubtless believed. What was current ages ago in regard to women is current now, and is almost as ely to gain credit as it was then. Men are apt to forget what extraordinary changes woman has undergone in this cen- tvry—in the last half particularly. She may have been a financial simpleton in the remote past: she surely is not now, in most cases. Today the average woman probably understands money as well as does the average man. She is, notwithstanding contrary belief,an intelligent economist when she comes’ to learn what economy means. It is frequent- ly said by the other sex that she can make a dollar go as far as they can make two; nor is this by any means the language of compliment. Many and many a_ husband has discovered that his wife can buy more with a small amount of money than he can, and he is in the habit of giving it to her for that special purpose. The extravagance of women has been a stock theme everlastingly. We still hear of her wild profusion, of ruin of fortunes by her excess, of her uncontrolled and uncon- trollable prodigality. This must be accepted with vast allowance. Man, not woman, is the great spendthri: ways will be. Few men forced into economy by circum- stances relish it, unless avaricious, and when their circumstances grow easy they cease generally to be economical. A woman who has once become economical will con- tinue to be so, though there be no need of the habit, even if it be glaringly out of keeping with her condition. Woman's love of small details inclines her te economy. She may not be a financier in any large sense; that may not be within her scope; but careful use of little amounts of money certainly is, and she constantly demonstrates her proficiency therein. There is much more reason for calling her penu- rious than prodigal, and she is really called both, though the adjectives are absolutely incongruous. The probable fact that woman will go on improving steadily and rapidly in her ac- quaintance with money and its uses to the end of the next century will not hinder many men from talking about her pecuni- ary ignorance and extravagance then just as they do now. It is to be doubted if out of a thousand business failures a wife actively and know- ingly contributes to one. She is almost as likely to cut her husband's throat while he is asleep. The plain truth is, if she has any ccmmon sense, and is the least enlightened, she usually restrains her husband's ten- dency to lavishness, and employs all her in- fluence in the direction of economy. ce A Printer’s Error. An amusing printer’s error occurred in @ recent issue of the London Times. In an- nouncing the marriage of a young city man to the daughter of a naval constructor at tinue to increase may be taken for certain, and I expect to see the day when every man and woman who can afford it will keep a bicycle as a matter of course. And why not? It is a delightful pastime. It is one of the most wholesome of exercises. It multiplies the power of locomotion five or tenfold, enabling the woman who would re- fuse a two-mile walk to cover half a dozen miles with pleasure and the man who would otherwise be limited to a twenty-mile stretch to get over one hundred miles in the same time. Suburban villadom may growl at the ceaseless stream of wheelmen that pours down’ the roads on Sunday morning; but remember, ye dwellers in wholesome and comfortable suburban houses, what a pre- cious boon to the pale-faced and jaded clerk or shop assistant, or young working lad, is that weekly spin in the country air! Think again what a blessing is the possession of a bicycle to the country workman, doomed, as too many are, to a weary tramp three or four miles or more to and from his daily work, or to the town worker, who is by its aid enabled to live away from his work and to house his family where rent is low- est and air purest. The bicycle is the friend of-rich and poor alike. To howl against it as a public nuisance, or to rave about the mischief that it does to our young men and women, is folly on a par with that of our grandmothers, who fore- siw unnumbered evils from the invention of the steam engine or the use of gas for illumination. Having said so much for the benefit of anti-cyclists, perhaps I may be allowed to add a brief homily for the benefit of the cyclists themselves. That they have done rothing to earn the enmity of the non- cycling half of humanity no one can assert. The “‘scorcher,” who is a terror not only to nervous ladies, but to all classes of pe- destriana and horse owners within cycling range of our great towns, is an intolerable pest, whom cyclists, equally with non- cyclists, should strive to suppress. Such proceedings as the holding of races on the North Road, which recently brought a party of wheelmen into collision with the previncial police, are certainly not to be en- couraged. The new home secretary, when interrogated as to such abuses of cycling a few weeks back, pleaded the great difficulty of dealing with the evil by legislation, and it is not for me to rush in where such an exalted being fears to tread; but it is/quite certain that sooner or later some compre- hersive regulations with regard to cycling on public roads will have to be laid down, and it seems to me that in their own inter- est cyclists would do well to take the in- itlative in suggesting the shape they shall take.
