THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1897-14 PAGES. 4 HOTELS. Kdlotel Empire BOULEVARD and 63d STREET, NEW YORK CITY. A strictly first-class modern hotel at moderate rates has been a long- felt want in New York. The Hotel Empire fills it. It is equal in equipment, accessibility, cuisine and service to the most expen- sive hotels of the world, and its rates are less than those charged by the ordinary hotel. . It is delightfully situated at the intersection of the Grand Boulevard, Columbus avenue and 63d street, and fronts on Empire Park. It is noted for the excellence of its cuisine and service, its homelike and beautiful appointments, its delightful music, and its moderate rates. It is the winter home of many of the best families of the Metropolis, and enjoys the patronage of travelers and tourists of the best class from all parts of the world. All points in the city can be reached more easily and in less time from the Hotel Empire than from any of the down town hotels. The Broadway cable, the Sixth, Seventh and Ninth Avenue, the Am- sterdam Avenue and the Boulevard and Forty-second surface cars pass its entrance. The stations of the Sixth and Ninth Avenue “L” Roads are only one minute’s walk from its doors. The Belt Line cars only one block away, W.

In Mexico, the woman doctor has ar- rived, and is building up a clientele, and we have also a woman lawyer, beside in- numerable teachers of the “female per- suasion,” all bright, capable and energetic young women. Women are being em- ployed in the national postal service and are giving satisfaction. Soon thty will be- gin to invade the great government de- partments, and will supp!.nt the languid young dudes who now smoke cigarettes incessantly and manage to kill time at the government expense. The dudelet of the national palace and of the government offices outside is a study in pink shirts and tall collars.

When the plant was introduced, 1840, it was only the small daisy now about e flower, only seen as a rule in cottage gardens, which was highly prized as a noveliy. ‘rhe taste for growing end showing it began early, and befcre 1860 there were many chrysanthemum societies in existence, among them the Stoke Newington, which formed the nucleus the National Society. Ye not until 1859, when the plants erely from carly frosts, that any idea of growing them under » Japanese ty was noticed novelty y curfous and in. ornamental.” How remarks sus- re the plant he so summarily set aside! Three years later, however, we find Japanese varieties recom- mended with pompom and incurved, and ace then they ever increased in favor. The gorgeously colored mop-like blooms now exhibited every autumn would certain- ly astonish that writer of thirty years ago. The golden and bronze shades of the chrys- anthemum suited the taste of the promo- ters of the “high art” aesthetic movement of a few years ago, which, if it had no oth- merit, helped to bring this flower more forward ard revived the culture of sun- flowers, which were fast becoming extinct in our gardens. ee Jewish Shekel Worth 85,000. From the New York Tribune. Charles Lunn and J. J. Shragge of Win- nipeg are the possessors of a rare coin. Numismatists say that !t is worth from .000 to $6,000. The coin is a Jewish silver shekel, worth intrinsically about 62 cents, and about as large as an American or Ca- nadian half dollar. It appears to be very ancient. On the one side is a representa- tion of Aaron's rod, with the words “Jeru- salem the Hely” in Hebrew characters, and the other a pot of manna and the in- fon, in the same characters, “Shekel Above the pot of manna there is supposed to be a sort of effulgence or scroll, bearing in the middle a Hetrew character. Upon the presence of this mark, which experts can detect by heating the coin, depends its genvineness. Experts state that the coin is the shekel coined by Simon Maccabeus, high priest and ruler of the Jews, 140 B.C. He was famous in Jewish history. The coin was obtained by the present holders from a person in whose possession it had been for over twenty years. The present holders have each a half interest in it. ‘The coia is in a safety deposit vault,whence it can only be taken by the two jointly. The Numismatic Bank of Boston places the value of the plece at from $5,000 to $6,000, The owners are now waiting for replies from Great Britain. -e+—_—_ Found a Lot of Silver. From the Baltimore American. Max Dukes, who lives in Baltimore Hun- dred, Del., while cutting timber on the farm, struck something that blunted the sharp edge of his ax. He at once went to work to gee what it wa~, and soon discov- ered it to be a large stone buried in the ground. After working for some time the stone was removed, and to his surprise a large iron pot was hidden beneath it. Dukes was not long in digging out the pot, and it was full of silver money. He counted the treasure over, and found that it amounted to $4,700. It is thought the money was buried there by a man who lived on the farm during the late war, and who was known to have considerable money, but his heirs never knew what he did with it. —__---+ e+ “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers. ABSENT-MINDED OFFICIAL. Pecniiar Ways pf Robt. W. Taslor, Former Controlger $f the Treasury. From the Chicago Record. The discovery of the bundles of postal orders and bank ghecks tucked away in the pigeonholes of Mr. Bpofford’s desk and on-the-skelves of the old Congressional Library reminds. me of a similar disclosure after the death of Robert W. Taylor, who was for many years=controller of. the treasury. He and Mr. Spofford had many characteristics in cemmagn. They were both very .absent-minded men, and- habitually careless about theit belongings. Mr. Tay- lor's desk was a cupiosity. The clerks used to open the door af his office a. crack so as to let their friet:ds shave a peep at it. It was covered witit a pile of papers abeut | eightecn inches thick, the accumulation of several years of official life, which grew higher every month, as new documents were added to the accumulation. It was cne of Mr. Taylor's peculiarities that he would rever allow his desk to be dusted, and would discharge a clerk or .messenger who disturbed a single paper upon it. He aimed. to know every document in the col- jection and insisted that he was able to find it tm case it was wanted. He preferred to spread things out upon his desk in that way rather than file them away in plgeon- holes. Every afternoon, when tne old gen- tleman left dhe office the janitor would cover his precious pile with a big calizo Spread to protect it from the dust. After Mr. Taylor died his deputy, wao undertcck to examine and file away the dccumcnts and manuscripts that had ac- evmutated upon the desk during the twenty-fixe-er thirty years he was. in. office, made some important discoveries. Im- portant papers-that had mysteriously dis- appeared and for which the department had been searched over awd: over“again, were brought to light, and among other things a United States bond for several thousand dollars that had been held up as irregular several years before and referred to the controller for an opinion as to its genuineness. The bond mysteriously disap- peared and. was forgotten until the owner had written to the department seventeen or eighteen times demanding its return. .Then, as the officials. could find no trace of it, he brought suit.dn the Court of Claims to re- cover its value from the government, hold- ing the Secretary of the Treasury was re- sponsible for its preservation. When the missing bond was found among Mr. ‘Tay- lor's literary remains the Attorney General Was notifted, and arranged a settlement with the owner under which the govern- ment paid his attorney’s fees and the cost of the suit. es ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. Wonderful Growth of Business on at Mighty Stream. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. The first vessels that ever entered the Mississippi from the sea were the French frigates Renommee and Gironde, January 6, 1700. These vessels proceeded as far the Tencsas, which they reached April The first vessel built on the banks of the Mississippi by white men was launched in 1541, shortly after the death and burial of De Soto. The boatmen and early navigators of the present century were long in danger from Indians and Pirates. A notorious resort for these was Crows’ Nest or Stock Island, and many flatboats and crews were sacrificed there until these pesis ere exterminated by mob law, in 1409. For the five years fol- iowing 1822, however, the destruction by snags on the Ohio and _ Mississippi amounted to $1,362,508, though the next nve years showed but $&81400 loss from the same cause. In INf2 there were 450 steam- boats on th’ Mississippi and its tributaries, with an average burden of 200 tons and an aggregate value of $7,200,000. In 9perating these boats about 3 persons were employed. » The average value of the products carried cach season was something like $200,000, or an aggregate of $40,000,000 up to 1S42. Previous to the adoption of steam navi- gation the whole gommerce from New Orleans to the upper country was carried in about twenty barges, averaging 100 tons each and making but one trip a year. There were not over 150 keel boats on the upper Ohio, rying about thirty tons each and making the trip from Pittsburg to Louisville and baek- in two months, or about three voyages a season. From 1811 to 18) 576 boats we «lat over $7,000,000, In killed and wounded aggregated 4,660. The ave age of all the boats lost was five yed From 1816 to 1871 there were S$) explosions, involving a} of life in each varying from 1 to 1,64 ———__+ e+ —_____. The Dog Came Back. From the Versailles (Il1.) Leader, When Mrs. Frances Lee and family, re- siding eight miles east of Vers left about one month ugo overland for Vinita, I. T., they were accompanied by the faith- ful old shepherd watch deg. Carlo, The dog has arvived at a ripe old age, and though ureccustored to traveling long distances und averse to giving up his East Morgan heme and friends, he stood the trip well and without a murmur.
