THE ROBBING OF GRAVES

1XCIDCXTS nCCAMK!) II V ADItEW D. (ill AY. SON, OF 31 AIM SOX. The n rfTTBOniP Work of Cilionl im lcnpaIr of the Lnte 3InJ. Jonathnn V. (iiirdnn. "The sensational Instances of prave-rob-bins that have just come to lisht in Indianapolis Irmina rr.e of a similar event in which the late Maj. Jonathan W. Gordon figured when he was a young man." said Andrew J. Grayson, of M.idi?on. "The incident occurred near Versailles in Ripley county, the place made famous In recent years by the lynching of live men simultaneously. OdJIy tnouRh. Major Gordon and his companions came near' figuring in a lynching tee themselves. They only escaped an untimely and shameful death at the rope's end by making one of the most thrilling leaps ever attempted by a human b. ing. The spot at which the perilous jump was made by the young men in question is known to this day as 'Gordon's Leap.' "I obtained the full particulars of the grave-robbery In which young Gordon participated from a teran physician of Madison," continued Mr. Grayson. "I was sitting In the old doctor's oKlce one day chatting pleasantly with him when I asked him suddenly If he had not In his long career had some experiences that were of more than passing Interest. 'I have had Quito a Tew he replied, with a smile. "Upon being pressed to narrate some of Ms experiences he consented, and the first story he told was that of 'Gordon's Leap Nearly fifty years ago said the veteran physician, 'the town df Madison could boast a medical Institute. I was a student In the school, together with a number of other young sprigs that were desirous of receiving their initial instruction in that primitive academy of science. WAS A MEDICAL STUDENT. " 'About that time Jonathan V. Gordon, who afterwards turned to the law and became one of the most brilliant advocates of ilie Indiana bar, was a medical student, lie and a younj man amed John Glas3 attended a course of private medical lectures given by Drs. B. F. and A. J. Mullen at their office In the town of Napoleon, not far from Versailles, in which Gordon resided. Dr. J. "W. Mullen, a brother of the Napoleon physicians of the same name, came cne summer from a Philadelphia medical college. In which he was taking a course of instruction, to visit his brothers. He met and formed a close friendship with young Gordon. One day he received from Gordon a note saying that a body that would be an excellent subject for dissection had Just been buried In the cemetery near Versailles and proposing that the trio, Gordon. Mullen and Glass, make arrangements to lift the corpse from Its resting place. The recipient of the note entered heartily into the ghoulish scheme and arrangements were made to carry it out. 'It seemed, however, that a Dr. Anderson, of Versailles, was suspected of entertaining body-snatching proclivities and the people residing in the vicinity of the cemetery made prepartalons to give him a warm reception If he should make an attempt to eecure the subject In question. " 'At the appointed time Gordon, Mullen and Glass set out for the lonely burial ground, and when they reached the place -they began without hesitation the work of disinterring the cofUn containing the coveted body. They had dug clear down to tho box and were raining blows on that with a pick in order to force it open when the enraged citizens In ambush descended upon them with a fierce rush. The young fellows knew well that to be caught meant nothing short of lynching. There was but one way of escape. v "A fevr yards away was a precipice about one hundred and twenty feet in height, the top of which looked down upon . Laughery creek. Fully fifty feet of the cliff was a perpendicular wall. To the young men was presented the alternative of dying eurely, but disgracefully, at the hands of the mob or of risking a less shameful death and possibly gaining liberty by leaping over the frowning precipice. With Gordon to think was to act. Hurling himself like a cannonball towards the precipice and shouting to his comrades to follow, the daring youth leaped without hesitation over the face of the cliff. Fired by their leader's amazing courage. Glass and Mullen jumped after him. Down the trio rlunged for, it seemed, an interminable length of time, clutching frantically at branches of trees projecting from ledges, until at last they fell in one quivering, panting heap of humanity Into a tangled mass of brush at the bottom, which served to prevent them from being instantly killed. A TREMENDOUS LEAP. "The leap would have been pronounced suicidal by any one not under the stress that weighed upon those young men. They, however, escaped serious injuries and what was better still, vengence of the mob. Young Glass sustained a dislocation of an arm, while Gordon and Mullen were simply shaken up and bruised. "The trio of daredevils were afterward arrotd and brought to trial on a charge of grave-robbing, but fortunately made good their escape through the astuteness of Judge Miles Eggleston, father of the famous author, who discovered a flaw in the indictment against the young men. Judge Eggleston at that time sat on the bench of the circuit in which Versailles was located. "Two of the actor3 in that thrilling scene have since passed to the great beyond. Dr. Mullen and Majr Gordon. Dr. Mullen practiced his profession with distinction and proflt for many years in the city of Madison, but Major Gordon changed to the law, in which he achieved fame and fortune. John Glass, when last heard from, was a prominent physician in Colorado." "I enjoyed the eld doctor's story so much." said Mr. Grayson, "that I besought him to narrate another. 'Did you ever try to secure a body from the cemetery in Madison?' I asked by way of a feeler. " 'Well. I can't say that we did." he replied. There is but one authenticated Instance of body-snatchir.g in th Madison cemetery, the body taken being that of an old colored man named Taylor. The reason body-snatching was rare in Madison vas that we usually got our subjects from rural graveyards. Hut to return to the Taylor case: A son of the old man was employed as a messenger in the oflice of Dr. II., In Madison, and after his father died the lad suspected his employer of having stolen the remains. This suspicion, as I remember, was aroused by a remark the youth overheard Dr. 11. make. The p.jor boy suffered Intensely from his suspicions of his employer, but he dared not make formal complaint, for in those days a negro's word was worthless as against that of a white. " 'One day, when the doctor was out of his office, the boy decided to put into effect & plan he had evolved. He knew that the doctor had In hi closet a skeleton that ho used for purposes of study and demonFtration. lie also knew that his father, when living, had struck himself on the ankle bone with an ax, chipping off a piece cf tho Lone. " 'QjAhIzl entrance to the closet the

youth peered long and earnestly at the grewsome object suspended therein. Oddly enough one ankle bone of the skeleton had had a piece chipped from it. To the mind of the imaginative young darky the skeleton of his father, as he verily believed it to be. seemed to curse the ruthless hand that had dragged It from its peaceful place in the City of the Dead. " 'Years rolled by and the doctor disappeared from our midst, entering the Confederate army and becoming a surgeon in the civil war. The colored office boy grew to manhood, married and had offspring gathered about him. Death visited his little home one day and took from him one of the little ones. The hideous vision he had had In the doctor's office years before came back to him suddenly and with wonderful distinctness. Here was his opportunity to satisfy himself ai to the truth of his surmise formed at that time. Accordingly he requested the sexton of the cemetery to permit the body of the child to be buried in the grave of its grandfather. The official assented and the old grave was re-opened. When the bottom was reached there was found, true to the long-entertained belief, the remnants of a coffin, but no trace of the body it once contained "

TIME-HONORED THEORY UPSET. After All Thnt Has Been Snid, Fine Floor la Decided to De Beat. Boston Transcript. Long-accepted ideas possess a certain sacredness, and to see one of them upset conveys a sense of shock. For example, what belief, among everyday affairs, has been founded more solidly upon the rock of established l:r.owledgs than the popular faith Jn tfie superiority, in respect to nutritious quality, cf "whole wheat" bread and other coarse-grain preparations, such as oatmeal? Yet this theory is totally contradicted and turned upside down by an investigation recently conducted by government food experts. They made prolonged and thorough experiments with a number of human beings who volunteered for the purpose In addition, they conducted trials of various flours and other cereal preparations in the laboratory, subjecting them to artificial digestion. All results obtained were to the same effect, and showed that the coarse flours were decidedly less nutritious thin the fine bolted flours, and, therefore, not so suitable for consumption by persons engaged in active bodily labor or exercise. The mistake in this regard which has so long prevailed is due to a half knowledg of the facts. It is perfectly true that coaite and branny flours contain more actual nutriment than line bolted flours, but the trouble with them is that they are not nearly so digestible. The larger particles in them are not assimilated, and thus contribute nothing to the building of the body or to its fuel power. Quantity for quantity, they make less flesh and blood and put less coal under the boiler. Now, these Ideas are positively revolutionary. For a generation past people who credited themselves with exceptional intelligence and advanced information have been in the habit of feeding their children, and occasionally themselves, upon oatmeal and coarse flour bread. In the notion that they were building brawn and bone at the fastest possible rate. Cereal preparations of more delicate quality have tended to become unpopular, especially in Boston and other centers of superior knowledge. How painful to be thus deceived! Inasmuch as everybody eats bread, and most people are fond of cereals in other shapes, the matter is one of more than ordinary interest. As for the accuracy of the conclusions drawn by the government dietetic experts, it is beyond question, their experiments having b--n performed so carefully as to admit no possibility of mistake. Briefly summed up. their decision is that coarse-ground flour contains moro nutriment than fine-ground; thai the fineground flour is decidedly more digestible than the coarse-ground: that, owing to its superior digestibility, the fine-ground flour contributes more to the body in the way of energy and flesh-forming stuff than is obtainable from an equal quantity of "rraham" or "entire-wheat" flour. It U also decided that the supposition that whole-wheat meal is, weight . for weight, moro nutritious that ordinary bread flour is "an utter fallacy founded on textbook theories and entirely unsupported by experience;" that It is just the poorer-fed and harder-working people should have the ordinary flour bread in preference to tho wnole-meal bread; that those who work the hardest, and who consequently appreciate soonest a difference in nutritive quality (stevedores, . for example), always prefer the whiter bread, saying that It "stays by them better," and finally that whole-wheat bread and other coarse cereal preparations are better adapted for tho overfed and sedentary people. In order to determine and compare the actual amount of nutriments contained in graham, whole-wheat and patent rollerprocess flours analysis of them were made. All kinds were tried, from the "first patent" flour to the "red dog" flour, which Is the lowest grade produced, dark In color and composed largely of the germ of the wheat. Bed dog is highly nutritious, though dark colored In the loaf. Then there was the graham, fron: the entire wheat kernel, including the outer covering or bran; and the entire-wheat flour, which is the wheat kernel ground with a part of the bran. Sometimes this whole-wheat flour Is called "purified graham." The artificial digestion experiments were made by placing samples of breads from the different kinds of flour in a pepsin solution for four hour. As a result the bread from the standard patent flour was most completely digested: bread from entire-wheat flour was less digested, and bread from graham flour was least digested of all three. These observations agreed exactly with those made in the experiments with human beings fed for a number of days In succession upon the various kinds of breads. Trade In Emblematic Signs. New York Commercial Advertiser. Trade in the gilded balls which may be seen hanging outside pawnbrokers' stores is said to be growing brisker, but there does not appear to be any connection between this and the financial condition of the country, unless it be that more are able to go into the pawnbroking business. "Gilded balls," said D. Dovendorf. a local manufacturer and nealer, "are made of zinc or copper of various weights, in size from four inches up to eighteen inches, varying in price from J5 to $75 per set. Last season, in New York alone, some seven hundred balls were sold. While most of these were sold to pawnbrokers, many were used on flag and barber poles. Some emblematic signs are exported to Europe, but most of the business is dene in the States; our work goes all over this country. Weather vanes, too. are sold In numbers ranging in price from $2 to 51'H although recently one was specially designed for the Grand "Central Station's vane at a cost of J15- Copper-cable lightning rods are growing out of use, especially In the cities, because the new steel structures are themselves good conductors, and rods, consequently, do not attract electricity. Flag poles are more in demand. Apparently Americans are 'growing more patriotic. lit year, within one month, two poles were erected on the Knickerbocker Athletic Club at a cost of Jt) each, the former two having been torn into splinters by lightning. Recently there was a. pole 130 feet in height erected on Ellis island at the cost of An additional $150 was paid for a metal eagle that was placed on top. Druggists' mugs, those large golden signs, costing $1" to $18, are not much in demand; there is. however, a considerable sale for metallic ships for fishing clubs, selling around $20. A Poet'a Delief. W. L. Alden's Letter. Mr. Yeats, the Irish poet, has announced his belief in magic. If he derives any satisfaction from this belief, no one will grudge it to him. It is odd that quite a number of persons who are thoroughly convinced that spiritualism Is an imposture iire. ne vertheless, ready to admit that there may be something In magic. It was from people of this chips, rather than from Spiritualists, that Madame Blavatsky gained her recruits. Mr. Yeats's argument in support of his theory that magic is a true science are not particularly convincing. Hit, then, professors of magic are not, as a rule, convincing, except to those who are anxious to be convinced. I remember Madame Blavatsky, after a good dinner, smoking her interminable cigarettes, and asserting that no one could attain to her magical powers except by the path of strict asceticism. Mr. Yeats is evidently sincere in hi belief; and the article in the Monthly Review. In which he makes his profession of faith Is, certainly a readable one. Rut we must remember that Mr. Yeats Is not only a poet, but a Celtic poet, and that it 13, therefore, a matter of necessity for him to be mystical above his fellows. At the same time, it is not very probable that he will gain many converts to his creed. The public may And ir.a.iie in his verse; but they will hardly accept the assertion that he can make his thoughts visible in corporeal form.

HOW A PLAY IS PRODUCED

IT IS A WOnK THAT REQUIRES MONTHS OF PREPARATION. Erery Move on the StagT Carefully Planned Ont Rehearsals for Actors and Scenery, New York Mall and Express. When the curtain fall3 on the last act of a spectacular melodrama which has been full of wonderful Ecenlc effects, ranging anywhere from the sinking of a ship at sea to an earthquake, the audience files out and says, "Fine scenery, wasn't it?" and goes home. It seldom stops to think how everything has been done, nor does It realize what an Immense amount of work has been entailed and how many months of labor have been spent before the curtain can rise upon the first act. Incidentally, too, thousands and thousands of dollars have been spent which may prove to be an utter loss, if the piece Is a failure, or, rather, if It does not catch the public (for the two are often different propositions;, but that is a question which la of no concern here. How is a stage production made? The methods, of course, are essentially the same whether the piece is a society comedy, a melodrama or a grand opera, but as the production becomes more pretentious the labor Increases In geometrical progression and the details become more and more Involved. An example at hand is the extravaganza, "The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast," which was produced last Monday at the Broadway Theater, and it may be taken as showing what an elaborate production Involves. THE STORY FIRST. In the first place, of course, comes the story and the libretto. In comparison with what follows, that is an easy matter, though It must be written with a view to the spectacular effects which the manager desires to introduce. As soon as that is written and carefully revised the real work begins. Everybody connected with the management of the theater is called in to carry out the playwright's ideas and to make suggestions. ü.e fcccne painters, the costumers, the properly makers, the ballet master begin planning immediately, though it may be months before the production is to be made. They must work entirely in harmony. A stage scene is really a painting, and its drawing, so to speak, must be accurate and its colors must harmonize. The scenery, to put it broadly, is the frame and a good deal more besides. The rest is the picture. An unappropriated costumed ballet against inharmonious scenery, though it may be well grouped, will fail at once. All these people now being busy there is another man who is even busier. This Is the "producer," as he is technically called. He has the great burden of the production on his shoulders. He starts In by learning the Mss. of the play practically by heart. He familiarizes himself with every word in it. He is keen to note where an effective point might be scored, and he makes copious notes of what he believes would be effective gesture, by-play, etc., on the part of the actors, which is technically known as "business." STAGE DIAGRAMS. He provides himself with diagrams of the stage, and plots out every scene with mathematical precision. The position of every actor is noted and the place of every piece of "property" is as carefully marked. When the people In an audience see a player shift his or her position on the stage in a perfectly natural manner they probably don't think about it at all. Nevertheless, it has been carefully planned out long before. The producer is a chess player. His moves are all mapped out. His opponent is some possible accident which may mate him, but he has his game so well in hand that this seldom occurs. In the meantime, rehearsals have begun. The ballet and the supernumeraries have teen at it for a long time and two months or so before the production the principals and those intrusted with minor parts are called together. The producer's burden increases. Necessarily he must have the actors under his control, for he has decided what they are to do. He gives 'the correct inflections to words and phrases and puts the proper construction upon phrases, seldom relying on the actors themselves. As the days pass by the rehearsals increase in severity until sometimes they are going on morning, afternoon and night. It should not be Imagined that these rehearsals are carried on with all the surroundings of scenery. On the contrary, there is no scenery at all They are conducted on the bare stage, with the bricks of the back wall showing. SCENIC REHEARSALS. The scenery requires many special rehearsals of its own. One of the first things that i3 done is to prepare working models of the stage, say about three feet wide, and on them is set up the scenery in miniature, arranged so that it can be manipulated just as the large pieces will be in the real production. Thus it can be told whether it is practical and practicable. Finally, when the scenery is completed, and In place In the theater, each scene is rehearsed time and again, until the scene shifters are perfect in their tasks and can change a palace to a dungeon while the stage is dark for a few minutes. It requires its "cues" Just as an actor does. A "cue" may be a certain sentence, a bar of music or even a bit of pantomime. For instance, when the fairy godmother says to Cinderella: "And now, my dear, you shall go to the palace," the stage manager pricks up his ears. "To the palace" is a cue. He gives a signal, the stage is darkened and the scene-shifters get to work. When the lights are turned on there is the interior of a magnificent palace, instead of the humble room in which Cinderella sat. Now a single mistake might spoil all this, the fairy palace might vanish and the bare walls of the stage show instead. It requires quick eyes and quick brains to make sure that there will be no hitches. Now imagine that the months of preparation are over and everybody is drilled as well as they can be. On the night before the first performance a dress rehearsal Is given to an empty house. But the piece is gone through with just as if a crowded audience were present and what defects there may be are remedied. Then the manager goes home to hope for success, but maybe to dream of failure. A BOSTON TREASURE ISLAND. The Harbor of that CItr Likely to Lose Some Part of Its Ornaments. New York Tribune. The Tribune published, yesterday, a portion of a letter from Capt. William Kidd, alias Capt. Robert Kidd. The letter said that the writer had buried treasure amounting to from 13,0j0 to 2u,CnX) on one of the islands in Boston harbor, its name not mentioned, about a certain distance, not mentioned, up the hill, and about four feet deep. This seems to be the doom of the islands in Boston harbor. They will have to be raked off, to a depth of four feet, one at a time, till the treasure is found. Indeed, it will be advisable to go deeper than four feet, for much dirt is likely to have accumulated on the surfaces of the islands in Boston harbor in the last two hundred years. It is not likely that the Boston people can be restrained frbm thus defacing their beautiful harbor, now that this letter is out, but their real friends and well-wishers should try to dissuade them (that Is the purpose of this article), for they will not find anything. The letter Is now In Providence, a suspicious circumstance and one which gives ground for the belief that it is merely a trick to Injure Boston, against which town tho Providence people have maintained an ill-conceuied grudge ever since Roger Williams was banished from the Colony of Massachusetts Bay. The Providence people never stop to reflect how much they really owe to the people of the Colony of Massachusetts bay, for if Roger Williams had not been banished he would not have founded the Providence plantations, and the Providence people would all be living in Massachusetts to-day. and they ought to think of that. They seem to have devised this letter cleverly. It is dated "1700-01." and that means some time in January or February of the year which would cow be called 1701. Jt was on May 24 of that year that Kidd was hanged. But there is no great trick in writing letters from Captain Kidd. The present writer once wrote one himself a better one than this, too dipped It in coffee to make it look old, sealed it with the bottom of a saltcellar and scorched It with a candle to represent the effect of the sulphurous flames

which guarded It. Neither is It any great trick to dig for Captain Kidd's treasure. It is buried all along the coast, from South Carolina to Maine, and there Is so much of it in ithode Island that it forms practically an unbroken line of treasure along the old South county from the Pawcatuck to P'int Judy P'int, across the islands and over to Westport harbor. But it is another thing to find it. The present writer was present on the sc uth coast of Rhode Island on one of the few occasions when any of it was ever found, having also assisted in burying it a few hours before. The probability Is that William Kidd was never a pirate at all, or at least no more than half the mariners of that day were pirates. It never was proved that he was one, and never could be proved, even to the satisfaction of the unfair court which tried him, and he was hanged, not for piracy, but for the murder of one Moore, a member of his crew, who, Kidd said, was in mutiny when he killed him, and probably he was. Capt. William Kidd (whose prejudiced chroniclers could not even get his name right, and called him Robert) was a NewYork man, and when the story says that a New York man was a pirate and buried his treasure in a bank paying no interest, in Boston harbor, there is- something wrong with the story. MONKS IX ENGLAND. Invasion of Great Britain by Religious Order. London Mall. England is rapidly becoming a headquarters for many Roman Catholic orders and congregations. The entire liberty here granted to men of all faiths, the freedom from Irritating restrictions, and the security of. tenure present great attractions to the prudent heads of continental establishments. The present great rush from France owing to the associations law which started two days ago Is only part of a long-continued movement. There are to-day, apart from the newcomers from France, some fifty different religious orders for men working in this country, with 233 monasteries or congregation houses. In Wales there are a dozen, and in Scotland eleven. Several are planted in the very heart of London one almost under the shadow of St. Paul's. Others stand watch and ward on the bleakest headlands of the Highlands. Who are these monks? How do they live? What do they do? Their lives are as varied as that of the outer world. There Is the bearded, workaday Franciscan living In the slums of South London, maintaining hospitals for the sick and caring for the poor, after the manner of his founder of Assisi. There Is the rigid Carthusian in the great monastery at Parkmlnster reputedly the largest Carthusian monastery in the world living a life of the most severe asceticism, confined mostly to his cell, never tasting flesh meat, fasting three times a week. There are some Benedictines in Devonshire who run a great patent medicine factory, which they advertise in their own press after th us.ual fashion of that class of goods. She Killed the Cat. Washington Post. "I've had to find another boarding place," said the business woman. "I have left my nice suburban boarding house. I won't say that I was asked to leave, but I wasn't exactly urged to stay. You see, I didn't know all the ramifications of landlady superstitions. There was a cat about the place, a cat that was not at all necessary, and, I was convinced, far from being harmless. I loathe cats, but I have a tender heart. This cat was old and mangy and lame and sick. It pained me to soe it drag its miserable self around, and I thought to do the landlady a good turn. So I gave her boy a dollar to take the animal out behind the barn and chloroform it. I thought the landlady would be grateful, but she wasn't. She marched up to my room the minute she heard of it and told me she had come to tell me what she thought of me. She seemed to think a great many things, too, but they weren't the kind of things I'd care to have put In my obituary notice. She said I was a meddling busybody and a spiteful old maid. She said I was two-faced, pretending to be friendly to her and then trying my best to ruin her. She said I was a hateful old thing. I didn't mind being called old, for age is honorable. Besides, It's a thing that's likely to happen to anybody, but the reiteration annoyed me. There were other things, too. So I decided to move. All because I had caused that cat to be put out of Its misery. It wasn't that she cared for the cat, for she didn't. She'd have been glad to be rid of it, but I had to go and meddle, and I had hoodooed her for life. It seems that in the part of the country she comes from Mississippi, I think It's considered hopelessly bad luck to have a cat killed on your premises, and as I had incited her son to do the deed I had deliberately laid upon him an unspeakable amount of ill fortune. How on earth was I to know that? I have forgiven her, but when they perform a post-mortem on me they'll find some of the names she called me engraven on my heart." A Distinguished Pawnbroker. New York Tribune. One of the greatest sources of moneycettlnff employed by LI Hung Chang dur ing the later years of his career as viceroy was as a money-lender. There Is little ; doubt that he was the king of pawnbrokers the world over. His loan offices were scattered far and wide over his province, and he loaned great sums of money on mortgages and on pledges of personal property. In a country where no legal rate of interest Is fixed this business has brought enormous returns to Li Hung Chang. LI was his family name, while Hung Changmeaning "vast ornamentation" was merely a rersonal name, or, rather, the official form of his personal name. He used It when he addressed the Emperor, and the officials u?ed It when speaking to the Em- , peror of him; otherwise It was improper j for colleaKues to use it In his presence: it , was also printed on his visiting cards. His j literary name, however, was Shao-ts'uan. or "young spice," and this was the one by which he was known to his friends and by which he was spoken of in the native press. He was also a Chung Tang, or "central hall," which is the complimentary title of a crand secretary.
