Paris. Sept 9—A queer story of
a burial without a corpse comes from
Evrenx. An old man, who was an in-
mate of a hospital at Rugglyyded, died
and arrangements were made for his
funeral The cortege left the hos-
pice and proceeded to the church for
the funeral service, and then to the
cemetery The last prayer had been
said, and the coffin was lowered into
the grave The hearers thought the
coffin was very light, and became
alarmed One of the men let a stone
fall on the bier, A hollow sound was
the result There was no longer any
doubt in the minds of the bearers that
they were interring an empty coffin
The grave diggers went to the hos-
pice, and to their amazement found
the body of the old man on the mar-
ble slab in the mortuary chamber It
had been forgotten The body was
removed to the cemetery, the route
being through deserted streets. An
inquiry has been opened as to how
the coffin was allowed to leave the
hospice without the body.

Mile Dueret, a schoolmistress of the
Legion of Honor, was walking in one
of the principal avenues of the Boi*
de Boulogne, yesterday afternoon
Suddenly three men appeared before
her and. knocking her down, relieved
her of her jewels and handbag, which
contained twenty-four francs Ter-
rorized the schoolmistress began to
cry, She told the thieves that since
they had robbed her of all. she would
not be able to take the train for
Paris, Pitying her fate, the thieves
suddenly became* polite. Gallantly
they accompanied her to the station
so that she would not fall in evil
hands, bought a ticket for her, put
her in the train and disappeared

Work is progressing quietly but
rapidly on the details of the arrange-
ments for beginning work on the ex-
tension of the Yellow Pine Paper
Mill Co.'s plant the coming week.
Consulting Engineer Farwell is
busy making plans and getting every-
thing in readiness to begin the ma-
sonry work next week. Machinery is
all purchased and arranged to arrive
here about the first of October, ex-
cept the boilers, which will be want-
ed as soon as the foundation is laid
that they may be placed and the
structure built over them. There are
five cars of big boilers on the road
now, including the boilers for the
power plant, which is to be built
down between the two sawmills, so as
to be situated so as to use the waste
from the mills for fuel.
The twelve-inch artesian well is
about finished, pipe withdrawn, cas-
ing inserted and pumping-out begun
this afternoon, This well is expect-
ed to add t» their present well all the
needed additional supply of pure
water.
This enterprise is one of the big-
gest in Southeast Texas, paying more
good wages to more men than any
other enterprise in this entire quar-
ter of Texas. It will have an invest-
ment of half a million dollars, and
a profitable investment.
Judge John T. Hart, lawyer and
land man, has in his possession
land patent signed by Abraham Liu-
clon, to Warren W. Johnson, dated
April 1, 1861 It is ancient, both in
color and the printer’s art, and bears
every indication of genuineness, with
the signatures of the register of the
land office, which like most regis-
ters’ signatures could not be deciph
ered, and it bears the seal of the
United States.
Speaking of old A-be Lincoln doc
uments, reminds us the Leader re
porter has one, which while not so
easily proven genuine as Judge
Hart's, is nevertheless of peculiar in-
terest. This one is dated Sept. 5.
1865, from the spirit world, and it1
written on the old blue foolscap pa
per of that day, and bears every ev-
idence of age if not of having come
from the other world. The letter
treats of secession and causes of the
war, in a spirit of conciliation and
friendliness to the South. It was
probably a message from the mar-
tyred president through some autho-
rized (?) medium of the day. While
this document appears to be as old
and as genuine as Judge Hart’s, the
reporter is ready to admit there is
more reason to believe in the genu-
ineness of the signature on the land
patent, though both are very sim-
ilar

Copenhagen, Sept. 9.—Dr. Freder*

world as his judge, but he claims that
he is under harsh criticisms and an
attack by Commander Peary. He
knows he must prove his claims, and

conferred amidst thunderous ap-
plause, the scientists joining in. It
was found today that there is no ship

HE ENGAGED THE TEACHERS
The Other Man Planned That Fence
and Built It.
Mr F. YV. Hustmyre is purchasing
agent for the school board, and is
getting more than his share of crit-
icism for the “novelty” of the plan
of the recently constructed fence
around the High school block.
The other day a prominent citizen
of good judgment (as to teachers)
met Mr. Hustmyre and proceeded to
compliment the board upon the se-
lection of such a fine lot of school
teachers, and congratulated the board
through Mr. Hustmyre on their
splendid success in that line. "But,”
he added. “Oh, that fence—Hustmyre
that fence is horrible.” “Now, look
here,” said Mr Hustmyre, “you go
jump on Geo W. Bancroft about that
fence, for he built that; I employed
the teachers.”
