Now VohiclOR for Transportation of Mails Just Put in Service. They Are lltirglar and Collision Proof and Are .More Conveniently Arranged for Handling the Mails-Llves of Clerks Safer. The posial authorities have put in operation recently half a dozen improved ears, which have become known ks “burjflar and collision proof.” The construction of these cars is such that robbers would find it difficult to break into them in transit, ns frequently happens with express cars, but they are not intended primarily to he “burglar proof." Extensive use of steel plates in the framinp at the ends and between the sills of tie' heavy timbers that run the length of the cars has made them much stronger than the cars in use heretofore, and they are practically collision proof in ordinary smash-ups, says Harper’s Weekly. They are not collision proof in the sense that they will withstand any shock that comes when the accident usually results in loss of life. The place of postal clerk is extremely hazardous. Several of these clerks were killed in an accident recently on the I'ennsylvnniarailrcad near Harrisburg, and others were injured in a trainwrecking accident on the New York Central railroad near Utica shortly afterward. Whenever an accident happens to a through train almost invariably: one reads that the postal clerks are killed or injured. The reason for this is that postal cars are carried next to the locomotive, as a rule, to avoid switching as much as possible. They are usually heavily loaded and in making over the train at junctions they are placed where they will cause the least delay in getting under way again. Hy strengthening them with steel plates and stout angle bars the danger in accidents will be greatly lessened. Six of these ears are now in operation between New York and Chicago on the Erie railroad. In a few weeks 15 of them will be in operation, and from (ime to time their number will be in-cre-osed. They are made from the design of E. W. Cirives, superintendent of the o.ar department of the Haltimore A Ohio railroad. They are G5 feet long on the inside and have no platforms. The absence of platforms gives the appearance of one long pointed car when three or four of them are made up together. There are no doors at the ends; and this fact, with the absence of platforms, gave rise to the “burglar proof idea. The platforms were taken off to get more room inside rather than to prevent robberies, which rarely occur on mail cars. The internal arrangement of the cars is a decided improvement on the old style. The stove is in the middle of the ear. This lessens the danger from fire in time of accident and also gives abetter heat. The racks and storage part of the car are in one end. These serve as a buffer In collisions. The ears are lighted by oil and gas, and this makes careful sorting of the packages easier. Under each end is a six-wheeled truck. The wheels are 23 inches in diameter and are said to be the largest ever used on oars in this country. There are iwo doors on each side of the car, and the sides of the car seem as thick as the sides of an armor-clad ship. When these cars come into general use it is probable that we shall hear of fewer deaths and injuries to postal clerks in railroad accidents.

THE BATTLESHIP TEXAS. Extensive Repalra to Be Made In Her— Ticklish Job of Dorking Her. The battle ship Texas has arrived at Norfolk, where she will be examined by a board of survey to ascertain her condition and to report on the extent and cost of the necessary repairs to put her in good condition for service. The Texas will then be placed out of commission, her oflicers and crew assigned to other vessels and thearepairs begun. It will be necessary to place the Texas in dry-dock to make the necessary alterations, and this operation will lie exceedingly delicate, not only on account of the misfortunes which followed the docking experience at the Brooklyn navy yard, but because the navy department once declined to dock the vessel at the Norfolk yard, the reason given being that her great width would make it exceedingly ticklish work to get her into the basin.

HANGED, YET LIVETH. An Officially Dend Man Said to Have Bern Revived by a Friend. A remarkable story comes from Pomeroy, Wash., where Henry Meyers was recently hanged for murder. After being pronouncezl dead by physicians the body was turned over to an old German friend of the murderer, who by means of simple restoratives revived the officially rfcad man. Three reputable residents of Pomeroy assert that they have personally conversed with Meyers within the post week and that he is now in hiding from the authorities and will shortly be token out of the country. County officials declare that Meyers’ body was interred in the potters field. An official investigation will immediately be inaugurated.

DEBTORS IN JAIL FOR LIFE. Wbat Im Mcnnt by » Recent EtccUInn of the Michigan Supreme 4 ourt. The action of the supreme court in sustaining the eonstitunonality of the fraudulent debtor act of Michigan has directed public attention lo the case of Henry C. and Charles II. Hummer, of Manistee, in whose behalf the case was brought. With the legality of their imprisonment fully affirmed, the two imprisoned debtors have npj arent!y no alternative but to remain in jail ns long as the creditor at whose inrtance they have been incarcerated sees (it to pay tlu-ir board. The First national bank of Manistee, which brought the action, has been paying the sheriff one dollar a day for the board of the two men for the last eight Months, and apparently intends to continue. From 1S83 to IS94 Charles H. npd Henry C. Dumnier were proprietors of a clothing and furnishing goods store on river street in Manistee. In August, 1894, the firm failed. The bank lost $800. After investigating it concluded that the failure was simply a premeditated scheme to defraud. Having come to this conclusion, the bank caused the Dummers to be arrested in November under the fraudulent debtor act, and on December 28, 1894, they were found guilty by Circuit Court Commissioner Erb, who ordered them committed to jail until discharged, according to the provisions of the act. The men are confined in what is called ihe woman’s cell in the county jail. It is eight by 12 feet aud about eight feet high. One basement window furnishes light and ventilation and one bed has to do for both. The elder man shows the effect of his long confinement, being under the doctor's care most of the time. For a time after being taken to jail the men were nl lowed the use of the corridors, but the bank officials informed the sheriff that he must comply with the law and keep them locked up. The bank, it seems, is determined to have the law enforced to the letter, though the sheriff is inclined to do all he can to make things pleasant for his prisoners. ANOTHER “MAMMOTH" CAVE. DlHcovereU In Kentucky —a Gigantic I’lano and Other Gorgeous Attractions. The section of country lying north of Bowling Green, Ky., which has become famous for its immense subterranean passages and caverns, has yielded another cave which promises to far surpass any that has previously been discovered, the Mammoth cave not excepted. The entrance to the newly-discovered cavern is in Edmonson county, and only two miles from the Mammoth. It is called “Colossal cave," Nothing of the interior of this cave was known until recently, and it lias yet been only partially explored. Exploring parties have entered it for upward of 12 miles without finding the end, and thej- met with new and varied attractions at every step. One of the most curious formations is in the shape of a gigantic piano in Floral hall. It is perfect in form and emits a musical sound. The walls of many of the chambers and avenues are ns smooth as a slate and gorgeously and beautifully colored in many hues. CONTRACT FOR PROJECTILES. Two Firms to FurniHli the Shells for Four New Ships of War. The contract for furnishing projectiles for new war ships in course of construction announced recently ns about to be arranged with the Sterling compafly, of McKeesport, I’a., and the Carpenter Projectile company, another Pennsylvania firm, has finally been concluded, and the amount allotted for the purpose has been equally divided between the two concerns, each receiving $250,000. The contracts were notawnrded through competitive bidding, but through an offer made by the navy department to projectile companies at very low and reasonable rates, which the successful firms accepted. The contracts call for 13-inch and eight-inch armor-piercing shells for the battle ships Kearsarge and Kentucky; eighti.ich shells for the armored cruiser Brooklyn, and 12-inch shells for the const defense vessel Puritan.

JAY GOULDS BIG ESTATE. Appralxcr MM'Inro Fixes lu Value at

Since March, 1883, Lawyer David McClure, w ho was appointed appraiser in the matter of the taxation of the Jay Gould estate, ha : been working on his final report, and tiled it the other day with Assistant Tax Assessor Casey in the surrogate’s office at New York. Lawyer McClure’s work consisted in ascertaining the value of the estate which would he taxable under the transfer act of 1892. The rcjNirt sustains the testator’s will, in which the f. r executors— George J., Edwin. Howard, and Helen M. Gould—were each left an annuity of $10,000 for life as acting executors nr.d trustees and making the total property taxable under which is known as the collateral inheritance tax

MONROE’S TOMB DESPOILED. Plate Commemorating HIh Death and Services stolen from the Cemetery. The present world-wide discussioe of the Monroe doctrin- 1 lias called public attention to the fact of the despoiling of the tomb in Hollywood cemetery at Richmond, Va.. where the author of that famous declaration lies. The iron tomb o'er President Monroe’s grave has been robbed of a plate bearing the inscription of the date of his death and other interesting historical fiicts tonnected therewith. Whether the thief carried this off to preserve as a relic or to dispose of ns junk is, of course, only a matter of conjecture. The plate was about 12 by 18 inches, and being screwed on no difficulty was found in removing it. Monroe’s tomb is near the grave of President Tyler, and within a rod or so of the last resting place of Jefferson Davis, president of the confederacy.

, net $73,015,423.08. The report also states that the life interest of the four exeI outers would make a total of $010,587, which must be deducted from the principal and he exempt from taxation. It is figured that the state taxes would j amount to about $2,000,000 only for the forethought of the late Jay Gould in fixing life annuities of $10,000 per year upon each of his four executors. According to Lawyer McClure's report the Gould family is now taxed $574,000. At the time of the probating of the will they paid in $500,000, receiving a rebate of five per cent. The executors of the estate now assert that the value of the securities is placed entirely too high and refuse to pay. They will no doubt appeal from the final report of the appraiser as submitted to the surrogate, and in the event of an adverse decision carry the case to the court of appeals. In that event years of

litigation can be looked for.

On the other hand, the state is not entirely satisfied with the report. It is claimed that the expenses and commissions should not be deducted from the principal and thus be exempt from taxation. It is likely that the state will appeal if the Goulds receive a favorable decision from the surrogate

ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Decision of a San Franclseo Judge lu Test Case of Wong Kim Ar!c. That Chinese born in this country of parents not in the Chinese diplomatic service are citizens of the United States and may exercise the elective franchise, and may go and come whenever and wherever they pleas?, is the effect of United States District Judge Morrow’s decision of the test case of Wong Kim Ark at San Franeiico. The ease was decided the other day with an elaborate opinion that makes interesting reading. An appeal has already been takenf*o the Uni’ed States supreme court hy District Attorney Henry S. Foote. lie gave notice, and pending the final decision by the highest judicial tribunal in the land, the bond of Wong Kim Ark was fixed at $250. If the United States supreme court should sustain Judge Morrow it is believed the result will be to admit to the polls every Mongolian as well ns Caucasian who has been born in this country, whose parents have not been native born or naturalized, save that children of parents connected with the diplomatic service here of other nations are excluded from the privileges of citizenship. AFTER SPANISH GOLD. Fishy Story of Burled Trea.nre Excite, a Small New Jersey Town. The gold fever lias struck Asbury, a small town in Warren county, N. J. There is a traditional story tliat in the time of the revolutionary war the Spaniards buried untold millions on the farm of George Richey, now owned by William M. Simonton. Thirty-two years ago a party of capitalists undertook to unearth the hidden treasure, hut, after having dug about 30 feet in depth, one night the ground caved in and buried all their tools aud the enterprise was abandoned. Mr. Simonton has now commenced the work with a force of men to accomplish what they failed to do. Mr. Simonton is fully equipped with horsepower to hoist the dirt, and is already' down about 30 feet, in the hope of soon reaching the buried treasure. The villagers are in a fever of excitement over the prospects ol mailing a big recovery.

A LUCKY THIEF. Stoala a Wagon Load of Forolte and Escapes Doing Blown Up

He Lose* No Time In M»kli<(c HI. Knrwpe When lie Dhtcovem He Ha. Exploitive. In.teatl of Valuable Jewelry or Clothing;. A thief who tackles a wagon load of forcite and escapes with his life is lucky enough to grow rich carrying a hod. This is what an enterprising thief did the other morning. At last accounts he was alive and doing well. Shortly after nine o’clock on the morning in question, Patrick Sullivan, a driver for the American Forcite company, turned his wagon eastward in 34th street, New York city, with a load of several hundred pounds of the explosive in the bottom of the vehicle. He stopped his team at the corner of 34th street and Fifth avenue, where he left the wagon for a minute. Just then a pale-faced, seedy-looking young thief, passing the wagon saw that it was fair. He did not stop to read the forcite sign on the outside. He sprang on the driver’s seat, seized the reins, twisted the whip about the horse's flanks and started eastward in 34th street at a great rate. The boxes rattled and humped around in the bottom of the uagon in a way that would have made Patrick Sullivan's hair stand on end hail he been driving. There was enough forcite in the wagon to have blown up the buildings on both sides of the street had it exploded. The thief probably imagined that he had made a great haul of jewelry or dry goods. In the meantime Patrick Sullivan had missed his wagon. “Good Lord,” he cried, “there's powjer enough there to blow the town to pieces." Then everybody listened apprehensively for an explosion. hut none came. Sullivan claimed that the explosive would gooff with the least jolt, but this was probably an exaggeration. At any rate, the thief got safely off with his plunder. Then he tackled the boxes. He pulled the cover off one and it did not take him long to find out what the boxes contained. He simply slid out over the wheel, grabbing the horse blanket as he jumped, aud disappeared. TO BAR WOMEN, Pltt.bnrgh Lawyer. Report Adversely Aeuin.t Female Practitioners. Pittsburgh has one woman lawyer. The other lawyers are opposed to her on account of her sex and they do not want any more admitted to practice. A committee has reported to the Allegheny County Bar association as fol-

| lows:

"It seems to us the question of admit- ‘ ting women to the bar is one which ! differs materially from the opening of : any other avenue to the employment | of tli^ sex. Passing by the question, | so often discussed, ns to whether or not women possess the necessary mental characteristics for the proper practice of law, your committee are of the opinion that the very nature of the practice is such as to render it peculiarly undesirable that women should be admitted, and their admission would be injurious to the profession.” Among the rules suggested for the guidance of judges in examining applicants for admission to the bar is this: “No female shall be examined either tor registration as a student or for admission to the liar.” TORE DOWN “OLD GLORY." Chief Officer of the Liner St. Loul. Insult* the Fluff. The cadets of the St. Louis, of the American line, accuse Chief Officer Todd, it is said, of tearing down the American flag from the cadets’ room of the steamship while the vessel was bound from Southampton for New York, and then trampling it under foot, sarcastically remarking at the same time that “it was a nice thing to have in sight.” The patriotic youngsters protested against the indignity offered to their country by Chief Officer Todd, who, according to common report, is a British subject, holding a commission in the Royal naval reserve. They were told to mind their own business. Despite the warning the cadets had many conferences ns to whether they ought to make a complaint. While the St. Louis lay at the American line pier awaiting the hour of departure the cadets were still talking of the affair. The matter leaked out, though it was decided not to make n formal report to ihe company until the St. Louis returns here on January 18. BULL FIGHTERS IN CHICAGO.

IN JAPAN.

The New Woman Is Largely In Evidence In the Flowery Kingdom. During a description of the woman of Japan a correspondent of the St. Louis Dispatch says: The girls’ middle schools are like our public day schools. The education given is excellent and quite up to all modern requirements, while at the same time the characteristic elements of a Japanese lady's education are preserved. The traditional accomplishments of a Japanese lady were, however, not forgotten, and there were rooms set apart for giving instructions in the. arrangement of flowers, the details of the tea ceremony, and in playing the goto. Without proficiency in these three accomplishments no Japanese lady is t bought to be completely educated. The technical and the industrial schools for girls in Japan are admirable institutions, One of the most interesting girls’ schools is undoubtedly the school for peeresses at Tokio. In this the empress takes tiic keenest interest; she visits the school every week, and knows all the girls by name. The students are daughters of the “dnimios” and noblemen. If the empress had not herself taken the lend in the movement for the! higher education of the women of the' noble classes it is doubtful if Japanese; noblemen \\ on id have consented to send their girls to a public day school; that/ they do so is proof of the earnestness with which the Japanese have adopted modern western education.
