WHITE'S BURIED GOLD.
He Might Have Hzd $4.000.000 to Put
With It if He Had Known.
From the Seattle Post-Intellitgencer.
Treasure seekers continue to manifest
much Interest hunting for the hiding place cf
the lat'e Ansel White's money. He was
known to have possessed over $3,000 in gold
at the time of his death. A few months ago
it was learned that he was the sole hetr to a
New York estate worth $4,000,000, and it
was thought, at one time, he had made Pres
ton Troy, a young lawyer of Olympia, the
sole beneficiary. He became heir to the Im
mense fortune subsequently to the execution
of the w1ll, and that trivial incident diverted
the estates from fatling into the hands of Mr.
Troy.
In the last few months dozens of people
lYve visited the White ranch, near Dunge
ness, and, with divining rods, magnete nee
dies, witchcraft, and with the advice re
ceived from fortune tellers and information
received from the fickle goddess of dream
land, endeavored to find the hIding place of
Ansel White's gold. The floors In his cabin
have been torn up, the fireplace- excavated
and the walls of the house have been thor
oughly ransacked fore and aft, and if any
one found the miser's treasure, he has kept
the secret well. All through the fields,
around the large proverbial black stumps,
and In and out of way places, the nunters
have conducted a systematic search without
success. Every few days a new person puts
in a mysterious appearance with a clue,
looks around for a few nours or days, and
quietly disappears. Thus the niystery of
Ansil White's buried treasures continues.
Ownepblip of Made Land.
From the St. Joseph kMo.) Herald.
The question of the ownership of land
made by the changes in the current of the
muddy Missouri, having been decided In
favor of the counties adjoining the stream
and against those who owned land abutting
the river, the county court of Buchanan
county is anzicus to know just what
amount of property the river has given
them. Until quite recently, when this last
decision was rendered, the rule was that all
"accretions" or made lands belonged to the
owner of the tract which abutted on the
river before the fickle stream took a notion
to hunt another channel, but this dection
dispels that idea entirely, and the state and
county school fund will be benefited ac
cordingly.

TOMORROW'S GAME
Harvard and Princeton to Meet on
the Foot Ball Field.
FIMT TIME SI =EITHE A OF '89
The Old Feud Yields to Mutual Good
Feeling.
DETAILS OF THE MAKE-UP
Princeton and Harvard will meet tomor
row afternoon on the foot ball field at
Princeton for the first time since 1880. The
last time these teams came together on the
"grIdiron" six years ago much bad feeling
resulted, and Princeton's victory, was mar
red by the charges of rough play brought
against them by the Harvard sympathizers.
The breach was a wide one, too, and all
efforts to bring the teams together again
failed until this fall, when Harvard's
squabble with Yale paved the way for a
reunion, and the two old enemies have now
buried the hatchet and smoked the pipe of
peace.
Both teams have been training hard for
the event, and each will play all the tricks
its players know before time is called, de
spite the fact that coa-thes from both Yale
and the University of Pennsylvania will
be watching every move as closely as so
many ferrets. Princeton will meet Yale
three weeks later in New York, and Har
vard will play Pennsylvania in Cambridge
the same day.
Princeton began this fall's foot ball work
with few of last year's veterans, though
among the substitutes of 1894 there were
many promising men who did not graduate
in the spring. "Beefy" Lea, last year's
crack tackle, was chosen to guide the for
tunes of the team this year, and he has
proved both popular and efficient as captain
and coach.
The Princeton men have met with about
the usual number of accidents among the
candidates for their team. In the center of
the line Princeton is nearly as strong this
fall as last. The absence of Wheeler from
left guard will make a hole. le is coach
ing Riggs, last year's center, to fill his
place at left guard, and Rhodes, the vet
eran right guard, will probably fill the
same pesition again this fall. For the cen
ter a new man had to be trained.
Captain Lea is a certainty for right tackle,
while Church, one of last year's substi
tutes, will probably fill the same position
on the other side of the line. Cochrane,
also a substitute last year, will probably
play on one end, while Johnston, Knight
and three or four others are trying for the
other end.
Behind the line, Princeton has many
Promising candidates, but most of them are
new men. Pope, who played full back for
the University of Virginia, is perhaps the
best kicker among those trying for full
back, though Bannard and Baird are both
strong aspirants for the disputed place.
Armstrong is perhaps the most brilliant of
all the backs.
The Princeton players have had the bene
fit this fall of a great deal of expert coach
ing by veteran Princeton players.
While most of Harvard's rush line is com
posed of new men, she is particularly for
tunate in having so many of her last year's
backs in college to play again this fall. The
absence this fall of "Bob" Wrenn, the clever
little quarter back, is the only important
vacancy behind the line, and there are sev
eral men who promise to fill his shoes ac
ceptably. Wrenn himself is coaching the
candidates for this position, and Borden for
Beale will probably pass the ball for Har
vard In both her two big games.' Gonter
man is the star half back of the team, and
is almost sure of his place, while Charles
Brewer will probably fill the other position.
For full back Harvard will depend on Fair
child. last year's kicker, or Dunlop.
In Harvard there seems to bei dearth of
heavy men, and the crimson will have to
depend on Doucette and .iaffray, two new
men, and Holt, an experienced player, for
the guards. Capt. Arthur Brewer will un
doubtedly play right end, while Newell will
probably fill the other end of the line.
Harvard has been practicing a number of
new tricks under the altered rules, and
some innovations may be expected from the
crimson-legged men in tomorrow's game.
The difference between the playing rules
under which the games of Harvard and
Princeton will be played in other cases has
caused a compromise to be reached which
will alter slightly the rules of each on this
occasion. The changes, however, are all
technical ones, and the game remains the
same to the ordinary observer.
Great preparations have been made at
Princeton for this big game, and a large
crowd is expected. Stands have been erect
ed upon the Princeton field which will ac
commodate about 10,000 people, and specral
trains will be run from New York and Phila
delphia to accommodate the great crowd
from both cities that will go to see the game.
No big game has taken place in Princeton
before since 1886, and this fact, coupled
with the old rivalry between Harvard and
Princeton, and their long separation, should
greatly add to the attendance.
DEPARTURE FROM CAMBRIDGE.
Harvard's Eleven Leaves for Prince

BOSTON, Mass., November 1.- Har

CORBETT AT LITTLE ROCK.
Says He Doesn't Want Any of Fits
simmons' PFunny Work."
LITTLE ROK, Ark., Nov. 1.-In com
pany with his manager, Brady, and his
trainers, McVey, Delaney and Donaldson,
Corbett arrived at Little Rock at 10 o'clock
this morning. The champion left his room
in the hotel at Hot Springs, and after
breakfasting with Brady, started for the
train. At the station he was followed by a
crowd of men anxious to see him. While
waiting for the train Corbett talked freely
about the fight.
"Of course," he said, "I don't know what
the outcome of these legal proceedings
will be, but I want the thing settled one
way or the other pretty soon."
When asked as to the possibility of any
trouble between Fitzsimmons and himself
at Little Rock, Corbett said:
"Well, something of that kind may hap
pen, but if it does, Fitzsimmons will have
to start it. I won't begin it. But I want
to say right now, that if that fellow does
begin any funny work he Is going to get
licked, and get licked good and hard."
At the depot here a crowd of 1,000 per
sons was waiting to see the champion, and
as he stepped from the train in a long
overcoat, with his crimson sweater show
ing up, the pallor of his cheeks, induced
by his training, he could scarcely move for
the crowds. He finally managed to plough
his way through to a carriage, which was
in waiting, and was whirled away to the
Capitol Hotel, where he retired at once to
his room to await the proceedings in the
aftermcon.
No matter what the result of the legal
proceedings may be this afternoon, the
chances are now 100 to 1 that there will be
no fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
The latter made a statement at 11 o'clock
today to the correspondent of the Associated
Press which virtually disposes of the mat
ter. He said positively and in good, terse
English, which admitted of no misunder
standing or misconstruction:
"There will be no fight in Arkansas. I am
done with the Florida Athletic Club, and
have no use for the citizens of Hot Springs.
I tell you that there will be no fight In Ar
kansas."
He said, regarding the possibility of
trouble between himself and Corbett, If they
met: "I won't start any trouble, but there
will be no Philadelphia business over again."

WANTS TO SHARE THE ESTATE.
A Woman Who Claims to Be the
jlaughter of the Late Dr. Okie.
Gertrude Okie, claiming to be the natural
daughter of the late Dr. William T. Okie,
yesterday afternoon filed In the Probate
Court a petition praying that the Mdminis
trator of her alleged father's estate, Mr.
Walter C. Clephane, show cause why a
search should not be made for a will which
she declares was made in October, 1891,
and in which she asserts she was made a
beneficiary and one of the residuary lega
tees.
Dr. Okie, who was a well-known Wash
ington physician, died at Bedford Springs,
Pa.. the 25th of last August. supposedly
intestate. A short time ago Mr. Clephane,
for the heirs at law, took out letters of ad
ministration, the estate consisting, it Is
said, of a small farm in Maryland, some
Ivy City lots and stocks and bonds. Miss
Okie, the petitioner, states that In the will
referred to by her she was given $'5,000, the
rest of the estate being divid~d between
her and the doctor's son Frederick. This
will, she claims, was witnessed by J. H.
Cassin, W. B. Griffth and E. B. Neu
meyer. The will, she claims, was deposited
with the Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany as executor, and it Is claimed that
it remained in the company's possession
until the 9th1 of last August, when, it is
raid, Dr. Okie sent for it. At this time.
it is said, the doctor was nt 12'23 N street
northwest. The house was that of Judge
Geler; and was occupied by Miss Mary J.
Snowden and other friends of the family,
who were, it is said, taking care of the
house during the absence of the family.
Dr. Okie was ill at the time, and later he
was removed to Bedford Springs. Miss
Okie, as she claims to be, states that Dr.
Okie kept some of his private pspers in an
Iron eafe in the old Adams Express Com
pany's building, 225 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, and she prays that a search be
made there and at the N street house, also
at Bedford Springs. for the alleged will.
The petitin of Miss Okie was filed by
her next friend. Hattie L. Woodworth, and
it is said that the latte claims to be the
mothet' of the girl. I~ -a said that Mrs.
Woodworth, as she .Anown, claims to
have lived with Dr. O~gon his Maryland
farm, and that the pe itloner was born
there April 5i, 1888. By the friends of Dr.
Okie's family it is clailed, however, that
tic. Okie continually repudiated the idea
that, he was the father of the child, and it
is believed by them thaf. the alleged wilJ
was destroyed by him.,.
Judge Hagner today 11lrected that the ad
mInistrator of the esatfeand others Inter
ested show on the 15th instant why a
search should not beade for a will In
which the petitioner claims to have bee-1
made a beneficiary. a:

MORMON HAREMS IN MEXICO.
If Polygamy i Abandoned in Utah,
It i Not Acroaa the Border.
Frn'm the Butte Daily Inter-Mountais.
Dr. A. C. McDougall, who has been for
several years located in Oaxaca, Mexico,
was in the city last evening en route to
northern Minnesota on a visit to his par
ents.
"The Mcrmons have obtained a greater
footliold down In the southern republic
than most Americans are aware," said Mr.
McDougall last night, "and Mormon col
onies have been established all over the
foot hills of the Sierra Madres and in the
dry and arid desert of Chihuahua. Do they
live in open polygamy? Well, I should say
they do. Their harems are on a grander
scale than any ever seen In the early days
In Utah, and they are absolutely safe from
molestation, for the governors of the prov
inces have been bought.
"They began coming to Mexico about ten
years ago, when the government decided
to-enforce the Edmunds law by Imprison
ing the polygamists. Seeing that the prac
tice of plurality of wives was doomed in
the United States, the Mormons turned
their eyes longingly to Mexico, where, down
In the arid deserts, a safa haven of rest
could be established. So successful have
they been that, through hardships and ob
stacles that would have thwarted any other
people, they have made the deserts ilossom
as the rose. They have colonies or settle
ments at Diaz, Jaurez, Pacheo and other
places in northern Mexico, but these places
were not desert ground by any means.
Some of it was the most fertile agricul
tural ground in the republic. As a result,
the Mormons now have a monopoly on ag
ricultural products and supply all the
northern towns.
"In Diaz, one of the colonies of the Mor
mons, a man who happens to be bleesed
with several wives has separate residences
for them, generally adjoining each other.
Each member of the colony is known as
'brother' or 'sister,' and if Brother Smith
happens to have a marital unpleasantness
with Sister Jennie Smith (possibly wife No.
1) he seeks consolation at the home of Sis
ter Mary Smith (wife No. 2), and so on.
until he has made the round of the ladles
compr'sing his family. There is no place
for the new woman urder the ruling spirit
and contr3l of this religion begotten of
sensuality. Their belief in the hereafter is
deification of the dead In proportion to the
number of times the deceased has been
joined in wedlock. A woman can be
'sealed' or united even to one who is dead,
if the powers that be deem it necessary
that the deceased becomes sanctified. There
is an element of terrorism in the system. In
crder to reach the enjoyments of the here
after a woman's life must be such as to
warrant her being 'called' by her husband
to join the assembly of the glorified. It
is polytheism, the leading spirit of the
after world being Adam, and the next In
rank Jesus Christ, Mahammed, Joseph
Smith and Brigham Young, and so on
through numberless saints that are more
difficult of enumeration than a row of
'josses' in a Chinese temple.
"As c'olonists, however, and setting aside
polygamy, the Mormons ore a diligent and
industrious people, naturally clannish and
devoted to their own interests. The whole
Mormon sect live under a sort of conimu
nism. Applied to their .own sect, they live
under a sort of utIlitarianIsm. Being all
good farmers, their well cultivated acres
form some of the choicest ranching prop
erties in all Mexico. Good roadmakers, the
approaches to their colonies, are all well
graded, well laid roads that offer an excel
lent example for their cruder Mexican
neighbors. Their houses are all built on
the American plan, and while plain and
unostenitatous, the Mormon towns remind
us of the Interior agricultural communi
'ties of the states. Thrifty and economical,
they know how to drive a good bargain
even in Mexico, and all of them are pros
perous. They have schools for their chib
dren and temples for their worshIp."

suggested by a French Writer.
A writer in La Revue Scientifiqute sug
gests that the French Sahara, upon the
southern edge of Algeria, may be profita
bly used for the breeding of ostriches. The
Barbary ostrich was on.ce greatly prized
for its plpmage, and the ostrich feather
houses of Paris made their reputations by
the curling of these plumes. The wild
Barbary ostrich 1s nearly extinct, so that
there are no more plumes of the sort to
be had, and the Parisian houses have lost
their monopoly of ostrich feather curling.

that the world uses annually about $I'i,000,

in La Revue Scientifique says that in view
of the early adoptIon of European dress
in the east, especially in China and Japan.
the demand for this sort of personal adorn

that the Increased use of ostrich feathers
throughout the civilized world Is likely to
protect other birds of fine plumage from
destruction, and be calls upon the various
societies interested in the protection of
such birds to aid In making ostrich plumes
more fashionable than ever.

The cyclist has come to stay. There can
be no question about that. It would be
rash indeed to prophesy that London so
ciety will in future seasons continue to
make pilgrimages on wheels to Battersea

Btances will long remain a fashionable
amusement. The vagaries of the fashion
able world are not to be predicted. But
that the number of people who use their
bicycles an regularly as their legs will con
tinue to increase may be taken for certain,
and I expect to see the day when every
man and woman who can afford it will
keep a bicycle as a matter of .course. And
why not? It Is a delightful pastime. It is
one of the most wholesome of exercises. It
multiplies the power of locomotion five or
tenfold, enabling the woman who would re
fuse a two-mile walk to cover half a dozen
miles with pleasure and the man who would I
otherwise be limited to a twenty-mile

WOMEN AND WNENY.
rhey Are Not Del y hefrant Abeut
iniameial MaIaEy f
,rem Harper's Sanar.
The opinion haA geklMly prevailed
LmOng men, or at least has been ekpressed
or centuries, that women are densely and
r.curably ignorant about money. "He
mown no more of money than a woman,"
n almost a proverb. The absurdest stories
re perpetually told of woman'a total in
apacity to learn anything about money.
Lnd some of them are doubtless believed.
Vhat was current agea ago in regard to
.iomen in current now, and is almost as
kely to gain credit an it was then. Men
are apt to forget what extraordinary
:.anges woman has undergone in this cen
xry-ln the last half particularly. She
nay have been a financial simpleton in the
'emote past; she surely is not now, in most
:ases. Today the average woman probably
inderstands money as wen as does the
average man.
She is, notwithstanding contrary beliefran
ntelligent economist when she comes to
earn what economy means. It in frequent
y said by the other sex that she can make
L dollar go as far as they can make two;
ior is this by any means the language of
!ompliment. Many and many a husband
tas discovered that his wife can buy more
with a small amount of money than he can,
mnd he is In the habit of giving it to her
or that special purpose.
The extravagance of women has been a
itock theme everlastingly. We still hear of
er wild profusion, of ruin of fortunes by
er excess, of her uncontrolled and uncon
rollable prodigality. Thin must be accepted
with vast allowance. Man, not woman, in
he groat spendthrift; always has boon; al
ways will be.
Few men forced Into economy by circum
stances relish it, unions avaricious, and
when their circumstances grow easy they
ceone generally to be economical. A woman
who has once become economical will con
inue to be so, though there he no need of
the habit, even if It be glaringly out of
aieeping with her condition.
woman's love of small detaIls inclines her
to economy. She may not be a financier in
my large sense; that may not be within her
scope; but careful use of little amounts of
noney certainly Is. and she constantly
irmonstrates her proficiency therein, There
as much more reason for callIng her penu
rious than prodigal, and she in really called
both, though the adjectives are absolutely
rncongruous.
The probable fact that woman will go on
improving steadily and rapidly in her so
luaintance with money and Its uses to the
:nd of the next century will not hinder
rnany men from talkIng about her pecuni
try Ignorance and extravagance then just
me they do now.
It is to be doubted If Out of a thousand
ersiness failures a wife actively and know
crgly contributes to one. She in almost as
likely to cut her husband's throat while he
s asleep. The plain truth in, If she has any
ec mmon sense, and in the least enlightened,
she usually restrains her husband's ten
Elency to lavishness, and employs all her in
Iluence In the direction of economy.
