Millionaires Have Trivet* Offices Dis-

tant from sad in Mo Way Con-

Some time ago a New Tort millionaire of an original turn of mind, conceived the Idea of a business ‘‘den.’’ where even his private secretary could not distort him. To-day no Isas than a score of rich men In Manhattan have private offices distant from and In ao way connected with their regular business headquarter*. To theee secret offices they hid themselves when, weary of Interruptions, they wish to be absolutely alone. The whereabouts of these private chambers are not disclosed either hy the city directory or the telephone register, and In a number of cases even the most t—' ed employes are kept In ignorance. A millionaire director In 17 Institution! and corporations who has a private den not 250 feet from Trinity church, and 4^rhpee public offices occupy stories of n Broadway skyscraper, re-

■ceutly said:

"Often when I was nppoeed to be on e vacation at my country .place or on e yachting trip. I was really in that tea by six private room of mine, considering schemes that required quiet thought My only companions were an electric fan and an eight-day dock that I never let

VIBGINIA GOLD ORE.

Usd Is Made in Effort to Locate Jewels Bald to Bav* Been Stolen from Trance In 1878 and Concealed Near Berry vl lie. Gold has been discovered near Bertyrllle. Va.. which assay* $12 a ton, but It is believed that it will become more valuable as the vein Is followed. The'discovery was made in an effort to locate Jewels aald to have been stolen from Frfince In 1872. For 30 rears there have been stories of these Jewels having' been concealed In the

vicinity.

In the early 70’s a Frenchman came to- Berryville, then known aa Battle S wn. With him was s man servant. e Frenchman was a recluse, and It soon became gossip that he had some dark secret. After he had lived In Battle Town some time he moved to Winchester and later to Charlestown. W. Va.-Then he disappeared and his abiding place was unknown. He was seen occasionally along the Shenandoah river or in the wooda. but w^iere he and hi* servant lived no one could any. About this time there came a story from France to America of the theft of the Jewels It was said that they were stolen by a French nobleman who a revolutionist and aided in Inciting the people of France to jloL Suspicion waa directed toward the Frenchman who had lived at Berryville. Detectives came from New York and* other cities, but *o well hidden Were the Frenchman and his servant that neither was found. For some months the detectives searched, but to no avail. Living Just outside Be try vile Is Mrs. Hattie Dortcher. a woman of excellent standing in tbe community. While visiting an old school friend in Wash-' Ingtotf Mrs. Dortcher was Introduced to a blind woman fortune teller. She told Mrs. Dortcher .that there was great wealth to be found In a cave farm and told her how the cave could

be found.

Going into the cave, men employed by Mrs. Dortcher found a skeleton of a man half a mile from the entrance. They discovered* an iron box. cooking utensils and a river that flowed underground with such swiftness that no man could swim against it. Workmen pledged to secrecy were employed to dig In the cave, and In their digging they came upon a vein of gold.'the first discovered in this part of tbi country. The gold was sent to Washington. and the first assay was $10 a ton. Then the vein became richer, and the second assay was $12 a ton. So hard was tbe gold to obtain In this narrow and dark cave that the $12 aasay would not pay. hut Mrs Dortcher did not abandon the work Men are still trorklng on the vein, and other men are endeavoring to effect a crossing of the river. These efforts have failed thus far. but the Dortchers are confident that when they are successful the Jewels stolen from France .will be found. NO SHIRTSLEEVES WANTED

Boston Pastors Not in Taeor od “Costlass” Men in Congregation,

as in Newark, N. J.

Clergymen of Boston are of the opinion that It is not quite necessary to gc as far aa Newark. N. J., people, wfio went to church In fancy shirt waists In order to keep cool. m ”1 would prefer people to wear tbeli coats in church,” said Rev. A C. Dixon. of the Rugglea Street Baptist church. "Let them wear thin, light coats, and they will be as cool In church aa they would be at home lounging in their shirtsleeve*. A man wearing a shirt waist would, I am afraid, attract tec much attention. Let them by all mean* wear some kind of a coat.** Rev. Charles A Crane, of the People’* temple, did not think It was a matter fot -the pastor of tbe church to decide. “I do not believe,” be said, "that a preacher has anything to do with what tbe people wear, if a man Is not dressed ao aa to draw attention from tbe speaker I do not think the pastor has anything to do with his appareL Tbe churches are the coolest places we can

find in the dty.”

“The matter win, adjust Itself." said Rev. TUman B. Johnson, of the Dorchester Temple church. “On each a day as last Sunday. If at all. I think k was Justified, l would prefer that people would wear their coats to church, however. Our large churches are not very hot. and people can generally wear . their coats without discomfort-’
