Of all the puzzies that have attached themselves to fluctuations of coin in the Sub-Treasury that attending a veritable flood of small pieces from Tennessee during the past few months hes given the authoritles the most trouble and hes developed the strangest enswer. For some time demands for pennies, nickels and dimes, in quantities from 35000 to $26,000, have been answered. Within & few days after the output was made a similar amount would come back. When it was noticed that the was the original packages, was put on the He unearthed two simultaneous —quarrels between the banks of Jellico, Tenn., and those of Rockwood, Tenn. It was not a fight for business su- premacy, but seemed an effort to get even for some petty grievance that was cherished between them. One or the other of the banks would pay off its monthly indebtedness to the other in pennies and dimes. The coin was re- ceived on demand from the Sub-Treas- ury and shipped at the expense of the government. The bank receiving it found it necessary to transfer it into the more convenient greenbacks and it would be compelled to ship the load back to the Sub-Treasury at its ex- pense—Chicago Chronicle. S e— An Expensive Sport. Autograph hunting is a sport hard understand. Somebody has paid £900 for a draft of a letter written by Mary Queen of Scots. Where is the value? It is 2 long letter, perhaps 2500 words, in the Queen’s large, legible hand. But it had been published in a photographic facsimile, with text and translation in Dprint, and every drop of historical information had been wrung | out of it by Father Pollen, 8. J. If the original draft had then been burned no- body would have beeh the poorer, ex- cept the heirs of the late Mr. Scott of lalkshill, the owner. His family gen- erously presented Father Pollen's ad- mirable edition to the Scottish His- torical Soclety a year ago, so it is not the novel historical contents that make the seven pages of old paper sell for £900. It is hoped the purchaser of a small parcel of state papers of 1576, about a robbery of jewels from Queen Mary when a prisoner, will print the con- tents, as they may have artistic, if not precisely hutorlc, interest.—Longman's Magazin >~ . - has n.\;n(ul of his | MISSING More Than a Month His Aunxious | understood | The Elks | be completed | LONG SHOTJUST NOSED AT WIRE Pleasant Days, at 50 to 1 Comes Tearing Along and Gobbles Up Place Money TR 1 | | | 1 ISMITHY KANE COMES | For the First Time This Sea- son the Notorious Quitter Brings Home the Purse SRR | LOS ANGELES, March 12.—The pro- gramme at Ascot today consisted of races and four selling events.

Hand won, Time, v | Count Bertrand, Companion of Napol- com at St. Helena, So Explains | Long Lite. | Count Bertrand, who died lately in | Paris at the age of 96 years, was prob- ably the only remaining survivor of the era of the first Napoleon who cowld claim to have been on terms of close intimacy with the great Emperor of the French. In fact, he was the companion of Napoleon in his exile at St. Helena. True, he was merely a child at the time. But the only pleasure whioh the fallen conquerer emed to find there was in playing with little Bertrand, and | be used to amuse himself by drilling | the little fellow and by riding him on his knee. The boy was his godchild and was the son of that General Count Bertrand, who, with his wife and chil- dren, accompanied Napoleon to St. Helena and remained with him in exile | for more than five years, until he died, | bearing with him in all his eccentrici- | ties of temper and of manner with a fidelity and devotion that evoked uni- versal admiration on the part of the | English people on the island. | Count Bertrand, who has just died, | was very eccentric, and was wont to | ascribe his longevity to the fact that | he made a practice of annually leaving bome, hiring a room at a quiet hotel, land then taking to his bed for three months. During the whole of that time no one was allowed to call upon him or to visit him. Indeed, no one save his servant, almost as old as himself, was permitted to enter his room. Food was brought to him only once a day and the man was under the strictest orders not to speak a word to him the whole time. He was engaged in this queer pro- cess of hibernation when the siege of Paris commenced during the Franco- Prussian war. His servant, obedient to orders, did@ not Inform him that the metropolis was beleaguered, and the Count might never have known of it had not the bread one day been of such {wvile quality that he lost his temper and demanded of his servant that he should tell him the meaning of such negii- gence. Whereupon, of course, the man was forced to inform him that the city was encircled by the German army. The Count was momentarily stupefied. He got up end for a time wandered bout the hotel, saying to himself: Paris is besleged—besieged! What ought a Bertrand to do?” After having reflected for some moments he an- swered his own query with the words, “Why, he ought to go to bed.” “And I will go to bed,” he added. And so he aid, and he slept out the entire slege.— New York Tribune, three and a half furlongs—Dan | Bluegrass Girl | Golden Sunrise in a Drive. Elevation, at Odds of 20 to 1, Wins Last Event. BY FRED MULHOLLAND. The slushy going and a desire to in- dulge in some side-stepping caused own- ers to make free use of the scratching blank at Oakland yesterday. After un- dergoing the reduction process three of the flelds wore a flimsy look and picking winners appeared as easy as walking away from a restaurant with some one | else’s umbrella. But all that glitters on & race track is not a turkey sandwich, | and five public choices were laid away with becoming ceremonies. Miss Turtle, i Peggy O'Neal and Elevation were three successful performers, entirely unan- nounced by any press agent. | Perhaps the severest blow of all was | the downfall of Buchanan, favorite at 13 | to 20 for the mile and twenty yards sell- ing fixture. Barney Schreiber crossed his heart and said he hoped to win the Fu- turity with Horace E if his black gelding didn’t finish first. Well, it looked rather | rosy for the sawed-off priced one in the stretch till Rice on.Dixle Lad began play- | Ing checkers. Then there came a slump | in Buchanan stock, for the Lad scored | almost easily by half a length. Bettors were all at sea over the prob- | abie result of the three and a half fur- ( long scramble for malden two-year-old fillies that had never been to the barrier. | Barney Schreiber's Grace Van S was installed favorite, but collected nothing. Hobart, astride the 40 to 1 shot, Miss Turtle, got off sailing, and won pulling | up from Gold Heather and Bona. | 'The Lady Rohesia opened a pronounced favorite for the seven-furlong rum, but the smart ones preferred to string theirs with Golden Sunrise, the mount of Knapp. The latter eventually went to the post favorite over the mare and finished second to Peggy O'Neal, a 15 to 1 shot, | which led throughout. Jarretiere d'Or, at 20 to 1, ran third. Again in the split of the seven-furlong number, Shady Lad, opening up at 6 to 5, received kid glove treatment and, reced- ing to twos, ran third. The so-termed educated money forced the odds about Knapp's mount Clydeo from 8§ to 5 to 11 to 10, and the Falsetto horse came home an easy winner over Golden Buck. ‘When the six starters for the mile and 100 vards selling fixture were an eighth of a mile from the stand it looked as if Lucian, the pacemaker, would win by lengths. Lloyd Fountain, the brown gelding’s rider, thought so, too, and he began taking matters easy. Knapp then | came with a wet sail on Preservator, and only lost the verdict at the wire by half a dozen inches. Hard at work all the way on Nine Spot, the first choice, little Brussell had to be content with the show. Brussell on Elevation, a 20 to 1 shot backed down to 16, touched only the high spots in the closing Futurity course run. The outsider showed in the lead from the start and defeated El Dinero, the favor- ite, quite handily. Black Eyes, whose price dropped from 30 to 9, ran third. NOTES OF THE TRACK. As L. Willlams is still in delicate health,ghe did not appear in the saddle vesterday. Not so many days ago ex-jockey J. McCarthy had the bidding-up fever and when Clydeo won he was given a taste of his own medicine. The selling price of the brown horse was boosted from $500 to $1000 by L. Marshall of Hall & Marshall. Retalned. In the fourth race today Quickrich is selected if Robinson has the mount. If A. Walsh is slated to ride, then Abe Meyer is given as the probable winner. The judges were greatly dissatisfied with the ride given The Lady Rohesia by W. Smith. Several other mild ef- forts, it would appear, had been placed to the credit of the Davies jockey and his name is now on the suspended list. Barney Schreiber will ship several brood mares to his Woodlands stock- farm gome day this week. Woodford Clay, the well-known young Kentucky turfman, was a spec- tator at the track vesterday. Mr. Clay's colors are famillar on the New York tracks. “Boots” Durnell, who was recently given a year's suspension by the Ascot Park officials, has asked the stewards of the Pacific Jockey Club for a re- hearing of his case. The request has been granted and “Boots™ will argue his side of the question before them next Monday. It Rice was making a survey of the track in search of mud banks he cer- tainly located them all with Shady Lad. This accounted for his much improved ride on Dixie Lad in the race following. ————————r ONCE PPPULAR SINGER ARRESTED FOR STEALING Mation Salter Pleads Guilty and Tells London Judge That Drink Ruined Her. LONDON, March 12.—It is not so very long ago, as time runs, that Marion Salter was a popular singer on Lon- on's best concert platforms, notably latelnvny Hall, but some years ago she disappeared, her voice was heard no more, and now she has reappeared, but not to charm an audience with her volce, but as a poor, homeless, broken ‘wanderer. e It was in the dock.of the’Police Court at Westminster the othqr day that the tragedy of her life was unfolded when she pleaded gullty to stealing a pair of boots. Poor Marion Salter spoke in refined tones-and all in court could see she was no ordinary homeless creature of the streets. ‘With tears the woman confessed that her present degradation was due to drink. From the dock she handed a well written statement to the clerk. In ! this she said she was a reduced gentle- woman, rendered homeless and reduced to extreme poverty by the wrongdoing and treachery of a rich man, who had solemnly promised her marriage, but he broke faith and married some one else after playing with her heart and affection for nearly seven years. She had been a hrokn-helned de- spairing woman ever since, and with neither kith nor kin to protect or shel- ter her, she had endured semi-starva- tion and homelessness, and maddened by the cruelty and neglect of her fel- low creatures she had foolishly given way to drink to drown her trouble: but she earnestly begged for mercy on account of the great suffering and flerce temptation she had to battle ‘with. t ' After hearing her pathetic story read the magistrate said he regretted he had &o alternative but to held her for trial. | | DIXIE LAD RIDDEN BY RICE TOO SPEEDY FOR BUCHANAN LONG SHOTS REVEL IN THE MUD AT OAKLAND TRACK : D Peggy O'Neal Downs | 'The Call’s Racin g Form Chart OAKLAND—Monday, March 12.

Organiza- tion Is Denied Sanction for Further Doubtful Bouts The registration committee of the Pacific Athletic Association met Jlast night at 420 Montgomery street, and began its attempt at cleaning the ama- teur boxing game by suspending the Occidental Club for violations of the amateur rules. George James, J. D. Robertson and R. X. Ryan Jr. were present. J. C. Griffen, delegate from the Occidental Club, was called in. George James, acting as spokesman for the commit- tee, preferred the charges. These were that the club had paid $100 to Wood- stein for a fight; that it had advertised a fighter named Martini under the false name of Martin, and that it bad al- lowed a professional named Patsy Me- Gee to fight at its last show. Griffen claimed in defense that no money had been paid to fighters; that he didn’t know that Martini had been advertised under a false name, and that he didn't know at the time he allowed McGee to fight that' he was a professional. He pleaded, moreover, that all the other boxing clubs were violating the rules 1and that it was not fair to pick upon the Occidental. The committee in- structed him to furnish affidavits show- ing the receipts and expenditures of the club in the last exhibition given, to- gether with the list of the prizes, and suspended it till it could give proof of not having violated the rules. At the suggestion of Robertson, it was decided to send a letter to the Olympic Club asking it to enter under its colors only men who were bona- fide members. This action was taken on account of the efforts of some of the Olympic Club men to enter a man who was not a member at the cross- country races February 22 last. A bunch. of boys were given their cards entitling théem to take part in the four-round contests to be given by the California Club on March 23. —_————————— MANHATTAN CLUB'S BOUTS PROMISE TO BE SPIRITED Powell, Riley, McLaughl Brown Are the Stars Who Will Perform This Evening. Tonight at WoodWward’s Pavilion four- teen aspiring boxers will pit their| strength against one another in an ef fort to win the trophies hung up by the Manhattan Club. The main event will bring together Jack McLaughlin and Harry Riley. The middleweight cham- plonship will hang upon the result, as McLaughlin is the present holder of the title. The English scrapper is one of the most scientific boxers now -in the ring, but in Riley he will find a very tough proposition. The reappearance of Lew Powell, the sturdy lightweight, for so many months the kingpin of his class, is causing lots of interest. Powell’s opponent will be Jack Brown, the hard-hitting 133- pounder, who last month beat smiling Jim Kane. “Southside” Jack O'Brien will box under his own name of M. Au- gusta hereafter., His adversary this evening will be George Early, the ag- gressive little feather-weight. The whirlwind affair indulged In by Johnny Murphy and Alec McDonald two weeks ago will no doubt be repeated when these slam-bang bantams toe the scratch again. The balance of the card {s made up of some unusually good bouts. ————— Stanford Men Get a Ducking. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 12. K. L. Fenton, A. L. Tayler, S. B. Thomp- son and W.

The telegraph operators were spending their day off in a brisk walk through the faded autumnal country. “You know our habit of abbreviating, or substituting short words for long ones?”’ said the Washington operator. “Well, this habit once did me harm. “Senator Grande had made a speech about education, and in wiring the speech out I substituted the short word ‘kids’ for the long word ‘children,” thinking that of course the operators or editors at the other end would have sense enough, in taking down the message, to substitute the long word for the short ome. But they didn’t, and Senator Grande's really eloquent and stately speech appeared in the next day's newspapers in this fash- ‘My friends, you will remember ‘Wordsworth's profound saying, “The kid is father to the man.” T need not dwell on thée vital importance to the commu- nity of imparting a sound moral and sec- ular education to kids in their impression- able years.

Gardner of Passale, N. J. defeated Harry A. Wright of San Fran- cisco, 50 to 206. Wright appeared to be nervous and overanxious and did not play his usual slashing game.

Gardner, on the other hand, was cool and collected and his safety playing was the feature of the match. Neither player showed anything ltke championship form.

[ —— yeott Helps C: OTTAWA, Ontario, March 12—Can- ada is waking up to the trade opening in China caused by the Chinese boycott of United States products. Shipments of Canadian flour and other goods for Chinese ports are going out by every steamship from Canada’s Pacifie coast ports. Before the boycott Canada’s ex- | ports to China were scarcely worth mentloning, but prospects now are good for heavy shipments during the pres- ent year. American flour, made from wheat grown on the Pacific slope and of coarser grades than the hard varfeties of the more distant Canadian North- west, could be delivered and sold at Chinese ports cheaper than the Cana- dian product, but the British Colum- bia and Alberta mills are now .able to compete with United States shippers on more equal terms. Alberta millers are inereasing thelr output by a thousand barrels a day and agents of British Columbia and Alberta mills who have returned from China bring large orders and report prospects bright not only for | Canadian wheat flour, which is in great demand, but for Canadian products generally In place of boycotted cargoes from the United States.
