Packages, Stampedé as Valuable, De- stroyed by Chemicals and Sender Then Collects Heavy Damages from the Company. Express companies at St. Paul, Minn,. have discovered an extensive swindle that has mystified them for more than @ year and removes sus- picion from many employes. The leading mamipulator of the work has already managed to secure thousands of dollars from the companies, who had believed the shortage to be due to neglect or loss on the part of the employes. The man who is being looked for is known by so many names that it has not yet been ascertained what his right name is or who he is. He isa chemist by profession, and itis by the knowledge of this art that he has man- aged to make large holes in the finan- cial records of the companies. It has been discovered by special detective officers who are in St. Paul how he has up to date managed to be so successful in his plans, Heappears in New York at one of the local express offices with a package valued at $10,000, which he orders sent to some part of the states. He then follows the pack- age to the place of its destination, where, under a different name, he ap- pears as the party to whom the pack- age was sent. The package is looked for, but, notwithstanding the fact that it is registered on the books, it ia not to be recovered. The sender then returns to New York, where he presents his claim for loss of valuable property sent in care of the company. It has been discovered that instead of placing the property of value in the box, it contains a preparation which so entirely destroys the cover- ing of the parcel and everything in it that not a trace of it is to be found. This has occurred a number of times, and from certain indications it would appear that he is not alone in his operations, as a number of times the package has been called for by a woman. FIND MOUNTAIN OF COPPER. Biggest Surface Showing in the World Discovered Near Vancouver. A veritable mountain of copper has been discovered within 30 miles of Vancouver, B, C., at Howe sound, by prospectors engaged by H. W. Treat of New York and Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper of Vancouver. Both Treat and Gir Charles declare it is the big- gest surface showing in the world; 332 assays all over the mountain have been taken, and it is claimed the ore ran extremely rich. On une Daisy claim, the chief showing in the group, nature has done, according to Treat, what a gang of 200 miners could not do in five years, a stream of water having worn away the soft schist and exposed a bluff of sheer, perpendicu- lar cliff of copper ore 428 feet high. Surface openings have also been made with powder, which exposes the big quarry of copper for 1,500 feet. The famous outcropping is less than half a mile from the famous Britan- nia group of prospects, which sold in London recently for $1,500,000. It is claimed by Treat and Sir Charles that their properties have a bigger show- ing than the Britannia group, and the Britannia mines, according to the re- port of the New York engineers, had 9,000,000 tons of low-grade ore in sight before $300,000 had been spent on the property. FIND BONES OF GIANT INDIAN, North Shore Policemen at Chicago Dig Up Remains in the Sand. The skeleton of a giant, who, when he walked the shores of Lake Michi- gan, stood seven feet and four inches high in his moccasin feet, was discov- ered in Rogers Park the other day, and ‘upon the discovery hinged an after noon’s wonderment. Joseph and Charles Everett, boys who live in Ridge boulevard near Pratt avenue, made the find and reported it at the Rogers Park police station. Dr. John Klein, one of the searching party, declared that the skeleton wae that of an Indian chief. Further search, among other things, disclosed a copper knife, arrow heads, a qnan- tity of gold and a moccasin. The skele- ton was taken in the patrol wagon to the Rogers Park police station. Later it was given to Dr. Klein. The doctor will mount the skeleton and send. it to Leipsic university. SHOCK FOR MARY ANDERSON. Rector of Religious Community Speaks of Mrs. Navarro as Like “a Mother” to Them. Mary Anderson (Mrs. Antonio Navar- ro) admits she is not as young as when playgoers knew her, but she has con- fessed to having received a shock at a bazar held in Broadway, Worcester- shire, England, the other day, when the rector of a religions community told her she was a mother to them. She made a little speech, in which she remarked: “I am somewhat over- whelmed by the clerical compliment, but he might have said ‘sister.’ ” A Burning Question. American firemen in Paris nave made the firemen of the effete despotisms of Europe look like 30 cents, which only goes to confirm the prevailing idea, says the Pittsburgh Times, that if there is a hot time anywhere the Americans will be in it, DULUTH.

The people of Salem, Mass., are! flocking to see a young woman who declares that she is bewitched. Her name is Carrie Peabody Bly. She lives part of the time in an ancient house built more than 100 years ago, an ad- dition to the famous house at North and Essex streets. The greater por- tion of the day, however, Miss Bly | spends in the witchhouse itself, eith- | er in the upper chamber or in the gar- ret beneath the roof. There Miss Bly says she holds com- munion with their spirits, goes into trances and flies off into space and does numerous other stunts which have startled her townsfolk. She is controlled, she says, by the spirit of Nathaniel Hawthorne and the spirits of Betsy’ Williams and other noted personages hover about her. The day before Charles H. Hoyt re- ceived his freedom from the insane asylum in which he had been placed in Connecticut. Miss Bly says she saw the spirit of his dead wife, Caro- line Miskel Hoyt, and she gave her a message to send to her husband. “I had never heard of the name of Hoyt,” said Miss Bly, “but the name came to me as distinctly as could be. She said that she would not be hap- py until the judges had released her husband, who, she said, was not in- sane.” MINERS FIND STONE MAN, Image of Large Proportions Discov- ered at Depth of Twenty- Five Feet. In an upper story of a South Boston junk shop, carefully packed in straw and excelsior, there has been for days the stone figure of a man. With the exception of an uneven hollow in the abdomen and a few smaller imperfec- tions in the mold, the image is excel« lent. It is that of a man nearly sis feet tall, lying with bent legs, and one arm across the breast,modeled in gray- ish stone. Several weeks ago, the story goes, two miners digging a shaft in Sprung gulch, near Reno, Nev., came upon the image of stone. They found it at a depth of 25 feet in @ gulch. They took out the figure rather care- lessly, breaking off the feet, which they recovered later, and sold. it to George D. Burton of Boston. It has been examined by two or three per- sons connected with the Peabody mu- seum of Harvard university. Though the face is said by some to be more typical of a white man than an Indian, the profile is distinctly Indian in con- tour. The image weighs more than 400 pounds. , HONOR MISS LONGFELLOW. Daughter of the Poet Adopted Into the Tribe by the Objibway Indians. Miss Longfellow, of Cambridge, Mass., daughter of the poet, has been adopted into the Ojibway tribe of Indians. The ceremony was per-j formed on Longfellow’s island, and was done by the Indians as an honor , to the descendants of Longfellow. ; The poet’s daughter was accompanied | to Desbarata, Ont., by Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Thorpe and two sons of Richard H. Dana. Upon the arrival of the party a select corps of chiefs, braves, squawsandpappooses of the tribe who had perfected themselves in a drama- tization of the famous poem, “Hia- watha,” gave a special performance beneath the primeval trees of the island. The performance was only | given by the music of the wind in the | treetops for accompaniment. The actors were garbed in buckskin and a picturesque head dress of feathers. Miss Longfellow and her friends were greatly impressed. : MARRIED A WHOLE FAMILY. Career of a Kentucky Man Who Wed- ded Three Sisters, One of Them Twice. The Moore family certainly held out attractions to S. W. Hodge of Win- chester, Ky., for he married three sis- ters, one of them twice, was divorced from two of his wives, while the third now seeks a legal severance of the tie that binds her to the attractive Hodge. Each of his wives brought forward charges of cruelty in her plea for divorce. To the plea of cruel and inhuman treatment the last wife has added the charge of misappropriating her property. Hodge came to Win- chester about ten years ago. To wom- en he was fascinating, and he quick- ly won the hand of Miss Anna Moore, daughter of a prosperous Laurel county farmer. They had not been married two years before she pro- eured a divorce. Then in another year she died. After the death of his first divorced wife Hodge began to pay at- tention to her younger sister. In a year they were married, in another year divorced, Then after the ex- piration of six months came a recon- ciliation and a remarriage of the di- vorcees. The court was asked to separate them tinally within a few months aft- er their second wedding. The third Moore sister helped Hodge bring about his fourth marriage two years ago. Now she, too, is suing for di- voree. HORSES KILLED IN A DUEL. A Connecticut Gelding Fights a Mare Who Failed to Share His Work. Two Horses owned by Jacob Johnson, of Hartford, Conn., fought a duel the other afternoon, each kicking the oth- er so severel} that both had to be killed with a rifle to end their suffer- ing. The pair were no soonér put in their adjoining stalls than Johnson heard a noise. He went to the stable and found that a gelding had kicked down the light partition separating him from his mate and was taking his revenge for her failure to help pull the load in the morning. The mare returned the kicks with in- terest, staggering the gelding with her well-directed hind feet attack. Her strength, however, failed her and she sank to the floor exhausted. Before Johnson could separate them the bay mare had been kicked so badly that both hind legs and her back were broken. The gelding stopped kicking only when dragged away by Johnson and a party of neighbors. He was, however, so weak that the same rifle which was used to end the mare’s misery termi- nated his life. The two horses were dumped into the same grave. HAWAIIAN CENSUS. The Returns Are the Most Complete in All Lines Ever Before Procured. The census of the territory of Ha- waii is about completed. The last of the schedules, except a special sched- ule relating to sugar manufacture, which has yet to be compiled, have been sent to Washington by the Mariposa. The census returns when compiled will give the completest information re- garding the resources and industry of the island that has ever been procured. Hawaii is to have star routes in its postal service. Bids have been adver- tised for a number, which will great- ly facilitate the dispatch and distribu- tion of mails. The system of rural delivery will be introduced in a great many districts, Bird’s, Nest Worth Preserving. The nest of a red-throated fruit spar- row, built inside a large apricot, says the Los Angeles Times, is being pre- served in alcohol as a curio. Peruvian Public Roads.
