Stewart died, * * on April 10, 1876, in New York city, tie was credited with being one of the richest merchants in (lie United Slates, for his wealth was estimated at more' than $40,000,000, including real estate which, alone, was assessed at 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 ils 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 3878, 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, but notwithstanding this, the excava tion had been made with almost math ematical precision, the earth having been cut away straight down to the leaden case which enclosed the coffin. 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-robbers 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. It 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 out detection—but tlds is precisely wlmt took place, for nothing definite 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 a reward of $25,000 was finally offered It was made with the distinct under standing that it was not for the body 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 her husband and 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 nfter 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 flic vault of the beautiful cathedral at Garden City, Long Island. But those who attempted to secure pi'oof of this report found that they were blocked at every turn and the question of who stole the body of A. T. Stewart and what disposition was made of it remains unsolved to tins day. IDENTITY OF THE MASTER-SPY HO was the mysterious “II” v v who directed the operations of the Germanic forces in the United States both before and during the period of the World war? Was tills 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 the slightest clues? These, In brief, nre 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 after 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 lnrge United States transports, signal ing to sea from a number of Atlantic ports and the financing of the famous “peace movement” to which n num ber of prominent Americans were in duced to lend the power of tlielr names. But, in spite of the fact that gov eminent operatives engineered the ar rests of several men ano at least two women who were Intimately connect ed with high ollicial circles In Ger many, the trail to the master-spy concealed under the cloak of the single letter "H" was sufficiently well hidden never to be completely uncov ered. 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 Marseilles, he made arrangements to land at the latter port and go from there to London Instead of continuing his voyage by vay of Gibraltar. However, the ‘Harmless* 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, tlie 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 day following declaration of war with Germany. lie was Interned Imme diately and remained in camp for three weeks, during which the 'Baroness’ intervened with a number of British officials and secured the re lease of her husband upon his promise as an officer and a gentleman not to take arms against England during the war, a pledge In which she i joined. “Shortly after his release from the internment camp, the captain and his wife sailed for New York, cloaking their identity under the inask of or dinary steerage passengers. The 'Baroness’ has admitted that she had been in almost constant communica tion with Germany, both by letter and cablegram, and that she had been on terms of intimacy with several mem bers of the kaiser’s family.” But while—like Wolf Von Ingel, Bam Chandra, Itohert Fay, Warner ' Horn and other German agents arrest ed in the United States, the “Bar oness” admitted tl i existence of a chief who directed all the movements of the Teutonic forces In America, she maintained that she herself had no idea as tc his identity, for all her Instructions had been signed merely with the single letter "H.” Who was this “H?” Perhaps the memoirs of the kaiser or some of the other officials of th - German govern ment may eventually clear up this point, but, until then, it appears destined to remain one of the riddles of the war, covered by a veil of mys tery woven with true German effi ciency. Life of a Five Dollar Bill. I’aper money wears out rapidly and lias to be replaced frequently. The life of a .$5 note, for example, is on (lie average about ten months, and in New York city is about two months less than the avernge, owing mainly to :1m more rapid rate at which It circulates. This same tendency is seen in 'he higher rate at which bank de posits turn over In New York city than in other parts of the country. The work of keeping the paper cur rency in good condition Is done very largely by the Federal Reserve hanks, which in the course of their daily bus iness handle all forms of currency and coin, eliminating that which is unfit for further circulation. This service is a large item in their annual costs of operation. Last year, for instance, the 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 Monthly Review. Mother’s Gentle Hand. The little boy in this story from “Touche a Tout” was evidently a firm believer in the old adage, “Of two evils choose the less.” Turning a corner at full speed he collided with tlie minister. “Where are you running to, my lit tle man? asked the minister. “Home!” panted the boy. “Ma's go ing to spank me.” “What!" gasped the astonished minister. “Are you eager to havd your mother spank you that you run home so fast?” “No," shouted the boy over his shoulder, as he resumed his homeward flight, “hut if I don’t get there before pa, he’ll do It.
