a German subhartno.
The Housatonlc was sunk near the
Scllly Islands.

The Housatonlc was submarined at

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. News of
tbe sinking of the Housatonlc created j

would depend entirely on tho circum

affect th present situation.
The ship was carrying contraband
and If she was destroyed with proper
warning and provision for the safety
of her crew or in an attempt to es

have a claim for damages, as in the

WILUAM 4. FLY.VN, CHIEF OK I'MTED
STATES SECRET SERVICE.
In the deposit of a small retail grocer.
An expert was Kent for aud undertook
tbe case.
He found that tbe grocer bad re
ceived tbe bill frmu a shoe dealer, who
had It from a dentist, who hud It from
somebody el.se, and so on until tbe se
cret service niau finally traced the note
to an Invalid woman, who bud used It
to pay her physician. When questioned
this woman ald that the money hail
been gent her by her brother, who lived
in New Orleuns.
Tbe sleuth looked up the brother's
antecedents aud kood became con
vinced that be wuh the man wanted.
The brother, however, soon proved to
the satisfaction of the secret service
man that his suspicions were un
founded. Indeed. It aieared that the
money had been received by the New
Orleans man In part payment of rent
of a house be owned In I'lttsburgb.
While the sleuth was a bit discour
aged, be couldn't give over the case
when he baj izhiip so fur. so be took
the next train for Pittsburgh.
The tenant of the house lu Pitts
burgh proved to be a traveling oculist,
wbo spent most of bis time in the mid
dle west The secret (service man had
tbe pkk1 fortune, however, to catch
biui Just as be hud returned from a
trip, and the man at once recognized
tbe bad bill as one thin had been given
blm by a patient in Cleveluud, Ihe very
point where the sleuth had started.
Tbe patient was a boss carpenter.
Tbe carpenter, an honest old fellow,
said that he hud received tbe bill from
a certain Perkins. The said Perkins
was the small crocer in whose bank
deposit the counterfeit had turned up.
The expert flew to the grocer's as
quickly as tbe taxi would take him
and found It closed. The grocer bad
left town.
Afterward It was shown beyond
question that the grocer was the agent
of an organized baud of counterfeiters.
His shop was a mere blind. That the
bill which be gave the carpenter should
get back Into bis own funds after trav
ellng all over (he country was one of
those mliacles of chance for wblcb
there Is no explanation.

Among the early Mexicans turquoise
was regarded as emblematic of suc

The peculiar property of tbe turquoise,
of becoming dirty green in color as It
gives np its moisture, led to a belief
that Its change In color foretold mis
fortune, and hence the oriental prov
erb that tbe turquoise pales when tbe
ell being of the giver Is In danger.
It was believed In the orient to be a
remedy for all diseases of the head and

With hope for peace and readiness
to meet war If It must be. the presl

clals that the course of the I'nltod

tlrely beyond criticism.
To that end, German rights and prop

full protection of law and the presl

to forbear from any thought or act
which might leud his country nearer

Hope that Germany might at the last

most dissipated today by the news dis

there would be no turning back.

COSTLY THEATER SEATS.
New Yorkera Forced ta Pay Fancy
Prices Thia Winter.
It Is not alone In tho charges of res
taurants and cubareta that tbe roister
ing thousands bare raised havoc this
winter In New York. Theater tickets.
for example, have become a prohibitive
luxury for the average man and In
New York may cost almost anything.
Upon one occasion after tho season
bad got well under wsy an attempt
was made on a Friday to buy orches
tra seats for the next Saturday night
for any one of the ten best drawlug
attractions In tho city. To begin with,
It seemed thnt all tickets bad got Into
the hands of simulators; also that tbe
speculators had alreudy disposed of tbe
bulk of tbclr supplies and, thirdly, that
such left over, none too good seats as
tbey still had could not be obtained for
less than $5 apiece.
There was a particular rush at tbe
time this attempt was made, but nev
ertheless under conditions normal to
this year the good seats for successful
productions cannot prevailingly be se
cured for less than $5 apiece, and tbe
best seats are usually half as much
again, mounting higher toward tbe end
of any week. Cameron Mackenzie In

Whan Buffaloea 8wept tha Plalna.
In pioneer days the railroads cross
ing the plains were often delayed for
many hours by buffaloes. In 1871 and
1872 trains on the Atchison, Topeka
and Sante Fe railroad were charged
by the enraged beasts, cars were do-
rolled and overturned and the lives or
train crews and passengers endanger
ed. Many tales of hairbreadth escacs
were related by small parties of sol
diers, frontiersmen aud emigrants, and
It is possible that many an emigrant
wagon with its occupants that left the
Missouri river and was never seen
again was overwhelmed by tbe buffa
loes rather than wiped out of existence
by tbe Indians, to whom all unexplain
ed dlsapix'a ranees were attributed.
Urge buffalo bulla weighed 2,000
pounds or more, and cows weighed In
the neighborhood of 1,200 pounds.
Herds numlterlng many thousands were
really Irresistible and In a stampede
carried all before them.
