Treasure Filled and Buried on Dif- fercnt Occasions—A Rare Miniature Portrait by Rembrandt Peale. In one of the apariments of the Hotel Raleigh, now occupied by Mr. Phillip W. | Avirett, is a remarkable relic, which has a history of great interest. It is nothin; more or less than the iron strong box of Thomas, Lord Fairfax, first lord proprie- | tary of Virginia. The box or chest is made of heavy wrought iron, into which have been welded iron straps, crossing cach other at right angles. The slight ornamentation on the front of the box shows it to be of Italian workmanship. The box is in a state of remarkable preservation. The key hole is in the center of the massive lid, and a large heavy key, black with age, turns easily in it. A wonderful thing about the lock is that the key in turning sends sliding bolts out from all sides of the lid to cling beneath heavy extensions of the four sides of the box itself, upon precisely the same principle as that upon which the modern bank vault lock in universal use today is managed. Buried Full of I11-Gotten Riches. The history of the relic is romantic. The strong box was buried by Lord Fairfax at lis home, Greenaway Court, near Win- chester, Va., where he died. The reason | that Fairfax buried it was that he had filed it with money collected by him in the shape of revenues for the crown, but he died before, he had an opportunity to take it up and “enjoy the treasure. The only person who knew about the burial of the box was Dr. Thomas Weodcock of Win- chester. After the death of Lord Fairfax Dr. Woodcock dug it up and took it to Philadelphia, where he gave it to the agents of the Bank of England, who sent it to England, still filled with money and mtniments of title. When the contents had been removed the box was given io the Fairfax hetrs in England. Given Back to Dr. Woodcock, The Fairfax heirs sent it back to Dr. Woodcock filled with silver plate, and the strong box eventualiy passed from Dr. Woodcock to Mrs. Hannah Dunbar of Win- chester. At Mrs. Dunbar’s death she will- ed the box to her daughter, Mrs. Phillip Williams of Virginia, during her lifetime, and provided that it should then descend to Mrs. Williams’ heirs, among whom was Mrs. Avirett, wife of the Rev. James B. Avirett, formerly of Silver Springs and now of North Carolina. Guarded Treasure During the War. During the late war the chest was again buried by those who had it in possession at Winchester, and a large quantity of valuable silver plate was placed in it in order to protect it from possible seizure by the soldiers. Several years ago the safe was dug up again, its whereabouts having been discovered through information re- ceived from a former slave named Grand- erson, who had helped to bury the safe, but who preserved the secret of its loca- tion until he found death was near, when he divulged it to the proper party. The heirs of Mrs. Phillip Williams gave the strong box to Mr. Phillip Williams Avirett, who now has it in his possession. A Rembrandt Peale Miniature. Among the treasures which were con- tained In the strong box at the time it was buried during the late war was a miniature portrait of the late Phillip Wiiliams, paint- ed on ivory by Rembrandt Peale. The miniature is incased in a quaint oval silver locket and is also in the possession of Mr. Avirett. Authorities on such matters have expressed the opinion that the miniature is as fine a specimen of Peale’s marvellous art in miniature portrait as there is ex- tant. —> ADMIRED NAPOLEON, The Old Gentleman Did Not Agree With the Young Things. They were standing in front of an F street art store, admiring a portrait of Na- poleon. Just behind them was a gray- haired old gentleman, who was also regard- ing the picture, but upon whose face, fur- rowed with wrinkles and stern with care, were no signs of approbation. “Oh, isn't he lovely?” said the girl in the fur collarette. “That curl is just too cute, and the way he looks from underneath his eyebrows, isn’t it taking?” “He does look grand,” chimed in the girl in the velvet cape and monster hat. “And just to think of all the hard things they write of him. I declare, I don’t believe one- half. Josephine was a horrid old spitfire, I'll wager, and worried the life out of him. Poor, dear man.” “Well, I don’t care what they say of him,” went on the girl in the fur coiliarette. “I, for one, think he must have been too lovely, and—and 1 just adore him.” ‘The old man, whose quick eyes were by this time fairly blazing with wrath, brought his stout oaken stick down on the pave- ment with a sharp rap that made the fair admirers of the emperor wheel around. “Then you adore the worst cut-throat and murderer that ever escaped hanging,” he thundered, and he turned and was lost in the crowd of Christmas shoppers, whtie the fair creatures stood gazing wonder- stricken at one another with a did-you- ever-in-all-your-life expression upon their young countenances. —_>——_ The Saturday Star BY MAIL $1.00 Per Year.

MEN AND LIVERYMEN, Views of One of the Former ¢ Tass ns to Light Regulatt To the Editcr of The Evening S In last night’s (December 1 Star is a report of a ) issue of The hearing given the tion by the Commis- setting forth their objections to section 11 of the police regulations, which requires al! vehicles to be lighted after dark. In this connection, I trust you will give Place to a few remarks on the light ques- tion from a wheclman’s point of view. This regulation is eminently just, and the 6,000 wheelmen of our city, who have been | discriminated against so long, owe the | Commissioners a vote of thanks for this | long step forward, as well as for the re- | cent modification of tb The Livery m speed regulation. n’s Association argues that the enforcement of this regulation would work unnecessary hardship on liverymen | and others. So far as the writer knows, | this argument has never been urged by wheelmen, to whom it applies in a greater degree, both as to cost of satis- factory lan.ps and the number in use. AS to the “expenditure of considerable money by men who are barely making their ex- Fenses,” to judge from the exorbitant rates charged by liverymen here as compared with these of other cities, one would sup- bose that they were coining money. Again, their statement that ordinary ihickes ans | noisy enough to make their approach known without lights is not carried out by the experienc wheelmen and pedestri- ans. excep- tion of heavy S, When reasonably well cared for, so Little noise on our smooth streets that a person very seldom h ery near. On the suburban of the District, where street lights are few and far between, and where cyclists must direct their attention to the roadway immediately ahead, it is common experience that a wagon or car- riage approaching from either direction cannot be heard until so close that it 1s | often very difficult to avoid a collision, and even should it be heard, and the wheelman turn to the right, as frequently as not he finds to his serrow that the wagon is on the wrong side of the road, which usually 1s none too wide at best. As to the streets being so well lighted that lamps are unnecessary, the writer should like te know how much considera- tion such an excuse would receive coming from a wheelman! The exception made in the case of rubber- tired vehicles is certainly very thoughtful and commendable on the part of the Liv- erymen’s Association! By their own ad- mission, these comprise not over 5 per cent of the whole number, and are probably ali, cr nearly all, cwned, not by liverymen, but by a class of people to whom the small’ cost of lights would not be a consideration. That concession is almost as generous (7) as those offered to Cuba by the new Span- ish “reform: Last, but not least, the Liverymen’s Asso- ciation hos the audacity to inform the Commissioners that this regulation could not be enforced even should the police force be trebled! The writer is pleased to note the firm stand taken by the Commissioners on this subject. The cycling public, whose num- bers are growing daily, and whose bicycles and lamps dcubtless represent a larger in- vestment than that represented by the Liverymen’s Association, have been dis- criminated against long enough. The wheel- man must display a light, although, should he, through failing to do so, collide with a pedestrian or with another vehicle, the danger is to himself almost entirely and not to the pedestrian or other vehicle; while in the case of a carr.age the injury would be sustained wholly by the person run down, and would likely be more serious than that caused by a bicycle. The wheelman must ride on the right side of the street (this regulation has recently been enforced, as noted in The Star), but a huckster, ash cart, delivery wagon, cab, herdic—in fact, anything drawn by horses—may occupy any part of the street, turn sharp corners to the left, or do anything else that may suit the convenience or caprice of the driver. The wheelman must limit his speed accord- ing to regulation at the risk of being ce fined in a police cell over night, while cases of fast and reckless driving are of most daily occurrence. The wheelman has, up to a recent date, Leen under the surveillance of police inscitizens’ dress, wno were in no wise slow to make arrests on very meager pretexts, while drivers of cther vehicles, as well as street cars, are seldom, if ever, apprehended even when openly violating the regulations. Careful riders (not scorchers) have no fault te find with the bicycle regulations, which are just and good and do not impose unnecessary hardship; but, as applied, they are certainly “class legislation” of the se- verest kind; and this last step, to have all vehicles display lights after dark, is no more than wheelmen have a right to de- mand, and, if accompanied by a stricter en- forcement of such other regulations as ap- ply equally to vehicles drawn by horses and these propelled by men and women, will certainly earn the sincere gratitude of all wheelmen. December 16, 1897. CYCLIST. ea SS Senator Ves Tarpon. From the Philadelphia Record. Some exciting tarpon fishing is being en- joyed by Senator Quay and his guests at St. Lucie, Fla. Senator Vest of Missouri is the hero down there just now. The dis- tinguished Missourian’s capture of a 200- pound fish is described by Ben Sooy in a letter to “The Record’s” political editor. Under date of December 1 Mr. Sooy writes: “I inclose you a scale from the big tarpon caught by Senator Vest with a rod and reel, The senator is tickled to death over his ex- ploit, and he may well be proud of it. We were out in the launch, cruising around in the Indian River inlet, and had just given up all hope of striking anything when Sen- tor Vest’s prize came along. It took the Fook and jumped about six feet into the air. Then the battle began. We would never have caught the fish but for the fact that the tide was just beginning to run in. We pulled up our anchor, and the tarpon dashed in with the tide to the river. that it was the merriest kind of a c!
