WHAT BECAME OF A. T.
STEWART'S BODY?
WHEN Alexander T. Stewart died,
on April 10, 1870, in New York
city, he was credited with being one
of the richest merchants in the United
States, for his wealth was estimated
at more than $40,000,000, including
real estate which, alone, was assessed
nt over $5,000,000. The bulk of his
estate was bequeathed to his widow,
with a million dollars as a personal
gift to the executor, Henry Hilton.
The Stewart funeral, culminating In
the interment of the body in St.
Mark's churchyard, New York city, was
one of the largest and most impressive
ceremonies of Its kind ever held In
the city—and then, some two and a
half years later, Judge Hilton, the
executor of the Stewart estate, elec-
trified the police with the announce-
ment that the grave had been rifled
and Mr. Stewart's body stolen.
Upon examination, it developed that
an even greater mystery surrounded
the affair than appeared upon the
surface. During the early autumn of
187S, Judge Hilton, learning that the
grave had been slightly tampered with
and fearing the depredations of
ghouls, had caused the Stewart head-
stone to be removed to another por-
tion of the plot, although it was not
thought wise at that time to disturb
the remains. The knowledge of this
change was confined to four persons,
hut notwithstanding this, the excava-
tion had been made with almost math-
ematical precision, the earth having
been cut away straight down to tlie
leaden case which enclosed the coflln.
This case had been opened, the lid
of the coffin had been unscrewed and
the body taken out—presumably being*
carted off in a wagon of which the
tracks were still visible nearby.
The most searching Inquiries on the
part of the police failed to reveal any-
one who had seen the grave-rritibers at
work, for they had chosen a stormy
night and It was not until several
hours after daylight that the watch-
man had discovered the looting of the
merchant's grave. The ghouls had
left behind them only a newspaper,
an iron shovel and a-bull's-eye lantern
—none of which bore any distinguish-
ing marks, nor could they be traced
by the detectives assigned to the case.
Ft appeared to be Impossible that the
body of a dead man could be carried
across New York city without attract-
ing the slightest notice or that it
could be re-Interred or concealed with-
J out detection—but this is precisely
j what took place, for nothing definite
j was ever learned of the fate of the re-
mains.
Judge Hilton refused to countenance
overtures for the return of the body,
declaring that neither he nor the es-
tate would be blackmailed and, when
n reward of $25,000 was finally offered
it was made with the distinct under-
j standing that It was not for the body
j Itself but for information which would
lead to the detection of the persons
who had committed the depredation.
The executor of the estate advised
Mrs. Stewart to have no dealings
whatever with the men who had
stolen the body of hor husband and
j the widow, who Is said to have been
| extremely affected by the blow, fol-
! lowed this advice during the ten re-
maining years of her life.
Some time after the violation of the
sanctity of St. Mark's churchyard, the
Impression was allowed to gain preva-
lence that the body had been re-
covered and that It had been re-in-
terred In the vault of the beautiful
cathedral at Garden City, Long Island.
But those who attempted to secure
proof of this report found that they
were blocked at every turn and the

The closest approach to the actual
location of this personage was In the
arrest of a self-styled baroness In
Tennessee, Immediately after this
charming woman had succeeded In
penetrating to the innermost secrets
of Fort Oglethorpe and a number of
other important posts In the eastern
section of the country. In the pres-
entation of the government's case at
the ensuing trial, the United States
district attorney made the following
statement:
"When war was declared between
France and Germany, the husband of
the 'Baroness' was en route to Lon-
don. While In the middle of the
Mediterranean, between Suez and
MarselUes, he made arrangements to
land at the latter port and go from
there to London Instead of continuing
his voyage by v ay of Gibraltar.
However, the "Baroness* sent him a
wireless just before he reached Mar-
seilles, advising him that war was
about to be declared and that it would
be better for him to remain aboard
ship. When the ship touched Mar-
seilles, the baron offered $1,000 for
an automobile to take him to the Ital-
ian frontier, but was unable to secure
a vehicle. He continued his voyage
and landed at Southampton on the

Indigestion and Increased the weight
for thousands of people everywhere.
Mrs. O. D. Flaherty, 1905 Grace St,
Lynchburg, Va., says:
"My son's health was fully restored
by Tanlac and lie actually gained
twenty pounds In weight. After every
meal he suffered terribly from severe
pains, palpitation and shortness of
breath, and had awful headaches. He
I was terribly nervous, too. He Is
j working now every day and Is In as
good health as he ever was."
Under nourishment Is the cause of
most cases of under weight. Tanlac
enables the stomach to extract the
healthy nutriment frojn the food,
builds up the whole body and In-
creases the weight to normal. Mil-
lions of people have testified to Its
great benefits. Get a bottle todhy

who directed the operations of
the Germanic forces In the United
States both before and during the
period of the World war?
Was this personage a man with a
wide-spread knowledge of American
military procedure and an almost un-
canny sense of foresight, or was she
a woman, with all of a woman's abil-
ity to worm secrets from diplomatic
circles and untangle problems to
which she held but tjie slightest
clues?
These, in brief, are the questions
which puzzled—and still puzzle— the
master minds of the United States
secret service and the officials of the
Department of Justice connected with
the defeating of Germanic propaganda
on this side of the Atlantic. That,
even nfter the deportation of Von
Bernstorff and Von Papen, there was
some Individual who directed the
movements of the pro-Germans in the
United States and Canada Is apparent
from the very nature of the plans
which they attempted to carry through
—plans which included the attempted
importation of a large number of dis-
satisfied Hindus, the securing of the
plans of the battleship Pennsylvania,
the placing of time-bombs on several
large United States transports, signal-
ing to sea from a number of Atlantic
ports and the financing of the famous
"peace movement" to which a num-
ber of prominent Americans were in-
duced to lend the power of their
names.
But, in spite of the fact that gov
supply of currency and coin caused an
expenditure at the Federal Reserve
Rank of New York amounting to about
$2,875,000, of which somewhat more
than one-third represented the cost
of printing new Federal Reserve cur-
rency to replace worn notes in cir-
culation and to increase supplies un-
issued and on hand.—Federal Reserve

Mother's Ger.tle Hand.
The little boy in this story from
"Touche a Tout" was evidently a firm

corner at full speed he collided with

"Where are you running to, my lit-
tle man?" asked the mlnteter.
"Home!" panted the boy. "Ma's go-
ing to spank me." "What 1" gasped
the astonished minister. "Are you
eager to have your mother spank you
that you run home so fast?" "No,"
shouted the boy over his shoulder, as
he resumed his homeward flight, "but

to wait for him for four or five hours.

seventeen, but still wore her hair In

by the natural girllshness and sweet
modesty of the young woman. She
was refined, too, both In manners and
