THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, SUNDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 25 1894 TKB TREASURES OF MOUKDEN. Being Under the Immediate Protection of the Fox God, They Can Never, Never Fall Into the Handa of the Japanese. Writing from Moukden, the ancestral home of the imperial house of China, and their andent treasure house, a cor respondent of the North China Over land Mall says, under date of October 13: "We were considerably startled here on learning that the Japanese were to march on this place to take away the Store of 120,000,000 taela locked up in the imperial treasury. Surely the pur veyors of this piece of wonderful Infor mation are unaware that no earthly power except that of the Chinese Em peror, or his representative can move a single shoe oiut of the treasury. It is therefore needful to forewom the clever Japanese that this particular treasure la under the Immediate care of the Fox god. This city Is the headquarters of the worship of this die.ty, and a tem ple In his honor Is decorated with tab lets on account of cures before the re cital of which the miracles of Lourdes must hide their diminished heads. This god is represented as a good-natured little man, his ever-smiling face sur mounted by a head of Snow-white hair. Besides the cures for which he Is noted, his chief office under the present gov. eminent Is to act as custodian of the treasures. "A few years a thief got into the treasury when all the guards were asleep or otherwise employed. The floor was so covered with shoes of silver that he' could not put his foot down except on the precious metal. His for tune was made. He would carry load sflter load of silver till the grey morn ing brought the guard to the spot. He bent down to pick one up. He found It to be the heaviest shoe he had ever touched. He used both hands. He could not move it He strained his energies well nigh to bursting. He made no Impression. Another and an other shoe was attempted', but with no more encouraging result. He then bethought himself of the custodian, and trembled with fear so great that he could not move himself away. He was caught there in the morning and told his story. Formerly the Fox-god was a mandarin of No. 1 rank. His red button was now removed, and his head has been covered ever since by the In signia of an Imperial Prince. Now, if when he was but one of the highest mandarins he made It impossible for a man to take away one shoe of sllvei off that floor, is it at all likely that now he Is a prince he will be less slack to discharge his duty? Let the Japs be fore-warned. They will take out of that treasury when they come Just as much as, end no more, than did that would-be thief. It would be a pity, would it not, to march from Wlju, where they are snugly fortifying them, selves, to push with difficulty but pos sibly not without success through the large army now awaiting, them not thirty but three miles west .of Talu, only to find on arrival here ithat they could not take away a single shoe of sliver out of the treasury? Apparently even the governor-general of all ths Manohurias cannot take that money, as he has had to borrow from the banks a considerable sum of money to pay soldiers en route for the Bast." PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Cecil Rhodes, the premier of Cape Colony, is worth $15,000,000. Little Tidh, the eccentric English comedian, has six fingers on each hand. Robert Louis Stevenson's estate in Samoa Includes 400 acres of forest land and is situated at an elevation ranging from 600 to 1,500 feet Mr. and Mrs. Kendall made a dismal failure of "The Second Mrs. Tanquer ay" on the occasion of their recent en gagement in San Francisco. The picture by Millet, for which M. Chauohard recently gave over $200,000, was originally traded by the painter for a case of wine worth 110. C. K. Adams, president of the Univer sity of Wisconsin, resembles the early pictures of Victor Hugo. He was a graduate of Ann Harbor, and was re cently president of Cornell. Christian Conrad, who boasts that he hsard President Washington make an opening speech In 1795, is living on a farm near Manchester, Iowa, at a re puted age of 106. 8. S. Lambeth, Jr., son of Rev. Dr. Lambeth, who was elected ciity attor ney of Norfolk, Va., by the prohibi tionists last spring, lias tendered his resignation and will study for -the min istry. Mme. Henri Schnieder, wife of the proprietor of the Creusot iron works, wears a diamond which, belonged to the crown Jewels of France, and for which $100,000 was paid at the auction sale. The English translation of the Ger man kaiser's "Song of Aeglr," was made by Prof. Max Muller, probaMy the most competent scholar in all Eng and to make it. This was done at the emperor's request. Few Ohio lawyers have so extensive a practice as that of ex-Governor For aker. Despite his political activity and Ms senatorial aspirations, his income is comparable with that of the great New York attorneys. Mr. Gladstone has never promoted his eldest son, the rector of Hawarden, or his son-in-law. Rev. Harry Drew. There is not a single member of the family, male or female, who does not earn his or her daily bread. Foreign papers say that Signor Oris- rA. and his wife, born Donna Una Bar- bagallo, were re-married in Italy by a priest a few days ago. The first mar riage was a civil one. Signor Crlspt con sented to the church ceremony, It Is said, at the solicitaltlon of the Princess UnguagloBrtai 'mother lot the young man who Is to marry the signors daughter. Mr. Alma-Tadema, who Is uncommon ly fastidious in his personal appear ance, had for his guest on one occa sion Ellhu Vedkler, the well-known American. On the morning after his arrival at the house, Mrs. Alma-Ta dema was awakened by a rude knock ing at her chamber door. Much alarm ed, she aroused her husband, who de manded in fierce tones what was want ed. It was Mr. Vedder who was at the door,, and he answered: "I say, Tadema, old chap, where do you keep the scissors that you trim your cuffs with?" IMPORTANT LETTER FOUND. I Was Picked Up on First Street This Morning. At an early hour this morning a pa trolman on Bond street found on the sidewalk near Tenth street a letter containing some Important information to the party .to whom it was addressed. As there was no envelope with the letter, and the residence of the person was not given, the Astorlan has been requested to publish it in the hope that any one Interested many see it, and thus take advantage of the infor mation. The letter ds as follows: Astoria, Or., Nov. 24, 1894. "Mv Dear Friend: At your earnest request I have made a thorough in- vestlswtlon of the matter referred to by you, and do not hesitate to say that I am convinced that the best thing you can do under the circumstances is to immediately procure two suits of good underwear, which will insure your health and comfort throughout the win ter.

Do this at once and you will recover from your present depression. Tours connaentiy, THOMAS. THREE REASONS WHY. The Prlntz-Crain Drug Co. are coming to the front and outstripping their ri vals: 1. Messrs. Printz and Craln are both thorough drugsists, each having had nearly twenty years' experlnece in the business, and have the confidence of both the physicians and the public. 2. They are always pleasant and obliging to every one who enters their store, whether they wish to buy any. thing or not. 3. They have no clerk hire to pay, their rent Is reasonable, and their ex. perience In the wholesale department enables them to buy goods In a way that they can compete with the best of them on prices. Give them a call and you will be convinced that the above Is true. NOTICE OF FINAL ACCOUNT.

The old hero had no cork leg, and, instead oi "tipping 'em a little Latin," he astonished hia hearer by exclaiming, viva voce, " what ? !
