federate Anny came into possession j
ot his handsome gold spurs, which are
ii v.- h.'ld ?is among thc most int?;r? -t
ini'ami valued relics of thc Confed
eracy, ha? always been a matt?;?' of
M: rc <.! le-- conjecture. Mon; or les
mystery ha- alway- surrounded the
matter and an interesting bit of his
ti ry concerning them ha- just come
to ?glit. Heretofore, lest the loyalty
?tinte might have been questioned,
ti. secret has been guarded, but the
?apse of a third ol' a century has so
healed ali differences that the story is '
now correctly told, it is said, for tim
tir-1 time, by one who is in a lu tter
position to know the truth of the mat
ter than anyone else, for the reason
that, though but a lad of I 1 then, he
was a party to thc transaction with
his father, who conceived thc idea of
presenting to General Lee these now
much-prized relics, says it writer in
the Washington /'?>/
lt is e well known fact thal South- J
ern Maryland, especially those couti
ties bordering upon thc Lower l'oto- i
mac, sympathized warmly with the j
Southern cause and remained.so far a- |
tho people were able, loyal to the j
Confederacy, although thc State rc- J
I'u-cd to withdraw from the I nion. |
These Southern Maryland eouuties
contributed many young men to the
Confederate army, and their friends
and relatives who remained at home
rarely lost thc opportunity to render
them material aid, and gave supp?tt
to thc cause which lay nearest to their
heart.-. Not only did they harbor and
protect Southern soldiers and agents,
hut furnished information of the
movements of the Northern troop-.
lt was W. A.Jarboeof I'pper Marl
boro, who. in thc summer of lHt;2. lirst
conceived the idea of making a suita
ble present to General Lee. and after
discussing thc matter with a limited
number of hi> friends, whose sympa
thies were thc same as his own, it wa
decided to send General Lee a pair of
gold spurs as a token of the love and
esteem in which he was held by the
people of Prince George's County,
Maryland. It was necessary, how
ever, to conduct the affair with the
utmost secrecy, for the old Capitol
prison at Washington held many
Maryland suspects. Only a small
number of those who could be abso
lutely trusted were permitted to sub
scribe to a fund for the purchase of
the gold spurs. Gcorgo M. Graham,
then a prosperous fanner in thc coun
ty, and secretly an ardent Secession
ist, gave $40 toward the project, but
thc greater portion of the purchase
price was defrayed by Mr. Jarboe,
who was then Register of Wills of tho
county.
A firm of manufacturing jewelers in
Baltimore was intrusted with the work
of making tho spurs, into which there
was placed $450 worth of gold, and
nothing was charged by the firm for
doing the work. The spurs were of
pure gold, with only enough alloy to
make them hard enough to be durable.
They were made by skillful workmen
and engraved with an inscription in
Latin. The manufacturers then sent
them by a trusted agent to Jarboe, in
I'pper Marlboro. Jarboe was then liv
ing in what was known as the Surratt
district, bordering on the Birch
?Swamp, and every morning rode from
his home in Marlboro, returning at
night. Thc whole country was alive
with Federal soldiers, chiefly cavalry,
but he waa never suspected of being
in sympathy with the Confederate
cause. His home had never been
-carched, although he anticipated such
action at any time. If the spurs were
hidden in the house, he knew that
upon search they would be discovered;
and for this reason he gave them to
his wife, admonishing her to carry
them about her clothing until an op
portunity offered to forward them to
thc Commander-in-Chief of the Con
federate Army, darboe knew in just
what manner such an opportunity
would present itself.
I'rior to the outbreak of the war one
of the noted characters on thc Poto
mac was Captain Charles Caywood of
Charles County, Maryland. He had
carly joined the Confederate Army,
but after several months' service his
company was for some reason disband
ed, and he took to guerrilla warfare,
blockade running, and seeking infor
mation for the Confederates. One of
his stations and hiding places when
north of the river was at Jarboe*s
house, and, unless in some manner
prevented, he usually made his ap
pearance there onco every two or three
weeks. The piase was admirably sit
uated and adapted to Caywood's con
venience and safety.
It was but twelve miles from Wash
ington, from which place communica
tions were received almost daily from
friends of the Confederacy concerning
the movements of the Northern Army.
In addition to this immediate adjoin
ing Jarboe's home was a dense forest
of codar pine and undergrowth, and a
swamp extending over several square

: and entirely impenetrable by cavalry.
A dog would have hau ".'teat difficulty
in following a rabbit through many
parts of it. aud thu- it '?Horded an
ideal biding place. Caywood was
brave aud adventurous, and admirably
suited for thc ? ailing bc had taken
upon himself. He wa* a man of
strong physical ability, agile and
active, sagacious and capable of great
endurance. fl?? continued success
fully in his occupation until thc end
of thc war.
Shortly after Jarboe secured the
.-purs from the Malt i more manufactur
ers, Caywood paid one of his periodi
cal visits to I'rincc George's County,
and went to .Jarboe's house. All dur
ing the war Caywood. when outside of
the Confederate lines, declined to
sleep within any inclosurc, but always
remained out of doors arid slept in thc
open air. I-'or six weeks after Jarboe
received the spurs, Caywood was
blockaded in thu swamp in hiding, us
the pre>encc of Union soldiers pre
vented his escape back to tho Con
federate lines. Had the troops known
of his presence they would have lired
thc timbers to drive him out, as he
was a mueh-sought-for man. Jarboe
provided him with food during all this
time, taking it to un isolated spot,
which served us a meeting platte at thc
hour of midnight.
At thc expiration of a month und u
half a large portion of thc I nion sol
diers were withdrawn from the sur
rounding country, and the treasured
spurs were placed in Caywood's pos
session by Jarboe, who admonished
him never to part with them while he
lived until they were given over to
(!encrai Lee. This caution was, how
ever, unnecessary, as thc Confederate
spy had often declared that he would
never be captured alive. Being ad
vised that his way was clear to thc
river. Caywood left with his precious
gift for St. Mary's County, where he
could cross the river.
At the point where he u-ually made
bis crossing there lived un eoceutric
old farmer named Cartwright, whom
Caywood made useful in the expedi
tion. Ile was too old to go to war
himself, but was always glad to help
out the Confederates wherever possi
ble. A boat which he owned had fre
quently carried Caywood and others
similarly engaged across thc Potomac.
Caywood, traveling at night and sleep
ing in some dense thicket during the
day, reached Cartwright's place with
out mishap.
Coon arriving there he found two
Confederate soldiers, and the three
arranged to cross thc river that night
in Cartwright's boat. A heavy storm
came up, however, and the two sol
diers urged Caywood to delay the ex
pedition until thc following night.
This he refused to do, but crossed the
river alone with the old farmer, and it
was due to this fact that he escaped
death as a spy and the loss of the
spurs, for shortly after he had de
parted Cartwright's house was raided
by a squad of Union cavalry, and the
two loitering Confederates were ar
rested and held as prisoners of war.
Once on thc Virginia side it was a
comparative easy matter for Caywood
to reach General Lee's headquarters,
to whom ho presented the spurs in
person. The great Confederate (?en
era! continued to s?ear them until after
the close of thc war. They now form
one of thc most interesting relics of
thc war. and are treasured by a son of
the Confederate commander, who now
resides in Fairfax County, Virginia.

- Thc most expensive material
ever produced for a dress is said to
have been purchased by the German
Empress last year from Lyons. It
was white silk brocade, having
flowers, birds and foliage in relief, and
oost $125 a yard, the actual value of
the raw silk, it is said, being $100.
The empress was so struck with its
beauty that she had not the heart
to cut it up, and it was eventually
turned into curtains. The price paid
for this material is about double as
?nncu as the famous cloth of gold I
that Louts XIV had made into a dress

HIGH-PRIOEl) DOLLAR.
How H Coin of I?04, Worth $10,000,
M aKOH a Story.
SI. I.uni* Ht'IHtblii .
A silver dollar of the vintage of
1804, worth $10,000. inadvertently
got away from its owner and is now
held hy a Hacine, Wis., merchant,
until the original pos-essor of the
coin can he di-?covered.
The. most valuable coin ever minted
in this country is thc dollar of 1804.
Only four of these were struck off,
and bo far as is known only three are
in existence now. A numismatist of
New Vork paid * 10,000 for the last
one that came to light a few years
ago. Thc dollar in question, which is
worth so much mc ney in cold cash,
came into the possession of Lo.aislav
Altmann, a clerk in the dry goods
store of T. L. Harnett, of Racine.
Wis. It was tendered by a lady in
payment of a bill of goods.
Four months ago, the woman, who
thus held unwittingly a fortune in her
hands, came into Harnett'.- store,
bought a small bill of goods, and
handed the clerk, Mr. Altmann a
dellar. Mr. Allmanu is somewhat
interested in old coins, and, without
knowing thc value of this (?articular
dollar, he - put it into his pocket and
handed over to the cashier another
dollar, which did not have the ear
marks of antiquity. For several
months he carried thc dollar as a sort
of pocket-piece, ignorant of the fact
that it is quoted worth $1*00, at least.
Finally, he inquired at the bank the
value of the coin and was informed
that it would bring $500.
Altmann was greatly surprised, and
in order to ascertain thc correctness
of the bank's statement, he sent the
coin to a friend in Chicago, asking
him to -how it to a collector and
obtain a quotation on it. The first
numismatist who saw it, offered to
pay $1,500 for it. This was more of a
good fortune than Altmann could
stand, all at once, and he discussed it
with some of his intimate friends.
He began to look up coins, and their
value thoroughly, and his last infor
mation was to the point that at a sale
in New York city a dollar of the same
vintage as the one which he treasured
had brought $10,000.
Altmann's fancy called up visions of
all the enjoyments of life which could
realize from the proceeds of his 1804
dollar. He had been a somewhat
enthusiastic amateur actor, had played
.'Hamlet,'' and Hoger in * 'The Two
Orphans," and $10,000 would be a
fine capital with whioh to start a
theatrical company, with himself as
its star.
Finally Altmann's employer, Mr.
Harnett, became aware of the story of
thc valuable coin, and the question
arose as to its rightful ownership.
Altmann argued that ho had accepted
the dollar on his own responsibility,
and that if it had turned out bogus he
would have been called upon to make
it good. He also said that the woman
who gave it to him in payment of her
bill did so because she traded with
him on account of his own nationality,
he being a Bohemian. If he had not
clerked there, the woman would have
carried her money elsewhere, asserted
Altmann.
With this explanation Harnett, the
proprietor of tho store, is deoidedly
dissatisfied. He holds that the money
was passed over his counter in pay
ment of his goods, and that the mo
ment it was paid it became his prop
erty and belonged to his cash drawer.
He contends that thc woman should
be found, and thc proceeds of the sale
of the original dollar returned to her.
Thc dry goods man wants the dollar
brought back to Racine, put in a bank
there and held till thc woman is found.
If every means of finding her have
been exhausted he will claim the dol
lar and protect his claim in the courts,
if necessary. He will not say now
whether he is willing to divide the
proceeds of the sale with his Bohe
mian clerk.
Meanwhile thc fateful dollar is be
ing eagorly sought by Chicago enthu
siasts, and Mr. Harnett is busy an
swering the long-distance messages
that pour in by thc dozen every day.
Altmann. too, looks worried and
feverish. He receives a pile of mail
that would give heart disease to a
wholesale merchant. AU thc letters
contain inquiries about that "almigh
ty" dollar and Mr. Altmann,' unfor
tunately', thc ownership of the coin
being in dispute, doesn't know what
to say to all his correspondents.
Thc funniest part of the story is
that the woman who originally had
the coin, carried it for three years,
afraid to pass it, because she feared
that it was a* counterfeit. That much
Altmann has admitted to his many
interviewers. The faot of the matter
is, however, that Altmann has ascer
tained the identity of the woman, and
has arranged to share the proceeds of
the sale of the valuable coin with her.
Her name ho will not give, though,
and it is doubtful, therefore, that ho
knows her at all.
It all depends upon the woman
whether Harnett shall recover the
dollar and share its proceeds with her,
or whether lt shall belong to Altmann,
the clerk, to be shared with ber, or
whether it shall bc altogether given
back to her. Both sides have engaged
attorneys, and the question, ' Whose
dollar is it?" will probably have to be
an-wcred in a court of law.

Should Wear Love's Slgu.
Women have gone on f or ages ]>ast
wearing their symbols of engagement
and marriage, never asking why their
fiances and husbands should move un
marked midst men and maidens. This
is a state of things which call aloud
for alteration, and it is a consumma
tion devoutly to be wished that men
should start with the custom of wem
ing first the jeweled circlet and then
thc plain gold one-outward and visible
signs of engagement and marriage.
The girls say they are placed at a dis
advantage, and from more than one
point of view. For instance, how em
barrassing for a younu girl to be made
acquainted at a distance with an ap
parently eligible and undoubtedly at
tractive youth, who, after the polite
formalities, suggests a stroll through
thc conservatory in lieu of dancing a
certain number. What more natural
than thc weaving of the romantic spell
attendant, nnnn rraecr.?t ccsscrratorl?a,
murmuring nal m H. dreamy waltz music
in thc distance and the contiguity of
youth? What more natural than thc
anticipation of a companionable, not
to say tender, acquaintance? And
what more disappointing than the
matter-of-fact announcement as the
man bids the maid adieu: "I would so
like to have you meet my fiancee."
No, the girls say there isn't a fair
point about thc existing conditions.
They advocate the wearing of an en
gagement ring by thc man, just as an
engagement ring is worn by the we
rne ii. No one ever mistakes unen
gaged girl. Even without the ring,
the air of conscious superiority, of
condescending good humor, would
stamp the young woman as mortgaged
property. And with the assistance
and addition of the ring there is abso
lutely no chance for error. And what
is true of engagements, so the girls
contend, is even more applicable after
marrriage. A married man, wearing
no badge of servitude-if we except
thc guilty look from the corner of the
eye and the criminal and suspicion
arousing slapping of the letter pocket
-is in imminent danger of being en
gaged in dangerous converse by wo
mankind. And, by the same token,
womankind is at times unwisely and
unwittingly kind to the unlabeled
married man. All entangling alli
ances and dangerous complioations
could be avoided by judicious use of
the ring. The custom, onoe adopted
by an accepted leader, would undoubt
edly redound to the credit everlasting
ot the pioneer. There is no reason
why men should not wear engagement
rings, and every reason possible why
they should. They cannot object on
the score of not liking such a decora
tion, no msc objects to -oaring tba
badge of a partioular office or a cross
or medal won for some heroic act.
Let men, therefore, when they have
won it, wear love's badge with greater
pride and gladness than any other.

pressed his theory strongly upon Mrs.
Morrison by instructing her how tc
act if they were ever in a hotel that

He and his wife were aroused from

The hotel in which they had theil
rooms was on fire, and there was great
confusion and tumult among thc
guests.
"Now is the time to put into prac
tice what I have always preached tc
you, my dear," said the gentleman.
"Don't get excited. Futon all you*

He oalmed Mrs. Morrison's anxiety,
handed her the articles necessary tc

took his watoh from under his pilton
and placed ?fin his pocket, put on hi:

out of thc burning building into thc

they were safe. "Don't you see what
a grand thing it is to keep cool, and
act with a deliberate purpose in an

Just then Mrs. Morrison for the

How quickly Hotspur's wise and witty
retort tears the tragic mantle in which
Glendower stalks, and shows beneath
the seer's robe, the motley of the mounte
bank. Most people would have taken
the Welchman at his word, and called
him seer, without noting the difference
between to call and to command.
Certain points of comparison are sug
gested between Glendower's tragic claim
and the comic claim made in some spe
cious advertisements. "I am a woman,
I know all about woman. I understand
woman, and I can cure woman because I
am a woman." The modern Mrs. Hot
spur puts her finger right on the weak
spot of that clamorous claim by saying :
"Why if you can cure woman simply
because you are a woman, then so can I
and so can any woman." Which vsry
