10 DIG FOR MONEY Massachusetts Hermit Believed to Have Hidden Fortune. Administrator of Eccentric Man's tate Warne private Treasure Seek ers From Property— Will Make Thorough Search. Great Harrington, Mass.—When Nel son Noteware, an eccentric hermit of Shefleld, died in his mountain hut last Winter, a report spread that he had buried money in various plaqes on bis premises, and several citizens of Sheffield announced that as soon as the frost was out of the ground they would dig up every foot of the gioupd to search for it. Thereupon Frank J. Davis, administrator of the estate, published la a local newspaper a no tice "that all persons are forbidden trespassing on the premises of the estate of Neison Noteware." Being asked if he believed there was money buried on .the Noteware prop erty, Mr. Davis said: "I am Inclined to think there is. When Mr. Noteware was taken sick be sent for me to take care of him. One day some money was wanted and he told me to go to a certain part of the room and I would find a box con taining rcdney. I did so, but could find nothing. Then, working hinjself along from his chair to the spot he had indicated, from a lot of old cans and kettle&he dug out a tin box, such as baking powder ia put up in, full of silver coins. On another occasion lie told me to look beneath a certain jar for the money. I did so, but could find nothing. Then he went to the spot and shoved the jar aside and, lifting up a board, dug from the ground a good-sized tin box crammed ful of folded bank bills and silver pieces. "While he was yot able to get about the place, but not strong enough to work, he never wanted me nor any body to go to a certain part or tho premises that he was in the habit of visiting frequently. I have always be lieved that it was because he had money buried in that vicinity. When the weather becomes settled I shall make a systematic search."

Cincinnati, O.—Mayor Henry T. Hunt of this city proposes to familiar ize himself with the various public service departments in a decidedly novel manner. The mayor will make a most sweeping investigation or in spection, not as a mere onlooker and recipient of information such as his subordinates may be able to tell him, but will mingle in person with the la borers of the street and the many other employes of this city. Mayor Hunt characterizes it as more of a quest for departmental experience than inspection. Cincinnati's chief executive will don the garb of the laborer and try from a day to a week at the Job of clean ing the streets, answering the ring cf the fire gong, passing a day or GO at each of the police district station houses and make the rounds with the captain and corporal, as well as a night on a "beat." Mayor Hunt will begin with the street cleaning department by pass ing a day or so touring the streets with Superintendent Then will follow the actual work of sitting in the midnight bo.'.rs on the seats of the water wagon and sweep ers. Following this the mayor will don the garb of the "white wings" and assist in sweeping rofuse from the thoroughfares. Ho will even go no far as to try his hand at drlvlngg one of the ash carta. Other departments follow, such as passing a week in the flre engine houses, getting up with the firemen, answering all alarms, but once at the scene of the conflagra tion, Jlr. Hunt will be a mere onlook er. Not a department will be over looked in an effort to ascertain act ual working conditions.

IH 6000 IS S® V Earth Heated by Volcano Hot tnough for Cooking. Loa Angeles Physician Tells of Visit to the Taal Crater In the Philip pines, Says !t Is an Indi vidual Type. Los Angeles.—Writing from Ma nilla, P. 1., Dr. J." N. Martin of Los Angeles, says he had tlie pleas ure of visiting the Taal volcano. "I passed' a whole day and night on Volcano island," he writes, "wlikh iyas longer than I had Intended, he cause the launch that conveyed us there and was to hove brought us back failed 113 through an accident to her machinery. "My interest iu Taal was out of the ordinary, as I had already seen every other type of volcano except that represented by Taal, and was greatiy entertained and deeply impressed by the wonderful results of the explosion of last year. "Taal is, undoubtedly, one of the places that should be visited by all who have not seen it, as it is a type of volcano the equal of which ia not to be found in any other part of the world. At the present time the heat Is increasing and at n depth of a few inches below the surface the mud is hot enough for cooking purposes. "One of the things 1 was most agreeably impressed with in Manila was Bllibid prison. Manila has the model prison in the world. I have never seen anything as}jrwhere in any country in which I ha^,traveled, and I have traveled niucli. ( yvlth my eyes open, that will compare with Bllibid as a prison or with Its administra tion. "The same I must say as to the Iwahig penal colony and its manage ment. It is a model colony and a credit to any government. "There is one thing I think of now and which I would like to mention before I overlook It, and that Is the cockpits. I have not much to say on the subject, and may confine my re marks to saying that a people, any considerable part of which sf>euds Its Sundays in the cockpits, will never be able to rise to the level of the re spected or progressive nation. "As far ,as political relations with the United States.are concerned I am a strong advocate of the retention of the Philippines as a part and parcel of the nation." BOY BRIGAND IS A TERROR Youngster, Sentenced to Prl»on, Tellj of Daring Deeds Ha . Had Planned to Court. Duehore, Pa.—When the law through the instrumentality of Judge Max well, put its hand:) on Peter Striney and sent him to the Eastern peniten tiary at Philadelphia for from Ave to ten years, It made short shrift of a young bandit who, by his own confes sion, had started on a career of crime Incited by lurid reading and a natur al bent foT adventure, and had he not been captured as ho whs— and that was at a point of a pistol—this part of Pennsylvania ere this summer wan over would have been infested with a band of robbers whose leader at least would have stopped short of nothing, not even murder. Even before the court, ns he stood to hear sentence pronounced, Striney, with not a little braggadocio, declared that he had spent part of his money to buy firearms, so that he would be equipped for highway robbery. Hl# prospective fields of operations were the lonely roads of Sullivan and Urad ford counties, a territory with which be Is well acquainted, having been reared in Sullivan county, and before his last escapade, * for which he Is now senUto prison, he was sent to the reformatory at Hunt ingdon, for a crime committed while yet only a stripling of a boy. Striney was sentenced by Judge Maxwell for robbing the Susquehanna A New York railroad station at Pow ell In broad day. CALLS RAW SULPHUR PURE United State* Appraiser* Hold Japa nese Product Must Pay $4 a Ton Duty. Washington.—Sulphur emitted by (he geyser craters of Jai>an in an al most pure state is refined sulphur in the meaning of the tariff law, although the substanco has been untouched by the hand of man. The board of gen eral appraisers at N'ew York, the treasury department is advised, has held that such sulphur is dutiable,at 54 a ton. The importers asserted It was entitled to free entry as crude sulphur. The issue was raised over an impor tation from Bungo province, Japan' which was 99.98 per cdfot. pure, al though it had been subjected to no ar tificial process. In that province Miero ire. perhaps, a hundred .geyaer cra ters from which sulphur fa emitted. The board .held that it was immaterial whether the heat necessary to the flnemeni or sulphur was sifppjipd through the existence .of abnor mal condition in the earth or by arti ficial means.
