BY WAGON* Staten Island Prairie Schooner Is Going to San Francisco. ! Driving up to the New York city hall in an old fashioned prairie schooner i drawn by two horses, John Urflinger and William Stevens obtained a letter from Mayor Mitchel to deliver to May or Rolph of San Francisco. The odd trip across the continent is | being made in the interest of Staten j Island business men, who want it ad- j vertised that Staten Island is the gate way of the eastern coast, just as Sau Francisco is supposed to be the gate way of the western. The schooner was driven about Man hattan, and a trip made through Brook lyn. Charles J. MeCormack of Rich mond borough started the wagon on its long overland trip to the western city, where it is due to arrive before the Panama exposition ends. RICHEST TYPIST QUITS JOB.

The estate which she inherited was nearly $250,000, amassed in the iron mines of npper Michigan. Miss McDonald vu her cousin. jj EIGHTY THOUSAND WERE EGGS, NOT RUSSIANS. Commercial Explanation of Canard About Big Force Far Scotland. An explanation of the origin of the canard, which received wide circula tion and credence early in the war, to the effect that 80,000 Russian troops had reached Scotland from Archangel, Russia's White sea port, en route to France, appears to be found in a com mon commercial custom. Russia exports millions of eggs to England, and in the trade these eggs are known as "Russians," just as the thousands of rabbits sent to England from Belgium are known as "Ostends." as oysters are known as "Marennes" or "Whitstables," or in the United States as "Blue Points" or "Cape Cods." It may easily have been the case and this is believed by many to be the explanation, that a Russian wholesale dealer telegraphed to his commissiov. agent in England, "Eighty thousand Russians sent via Archangel," and the message may have been taken by some one througti whose hands it pass ed to refer to troops instead of eggs. The telegraphic employee may have told a friend and so have started the rumor, which grew until few corre spondents could resist giving it cre dence, even though they had some idea of the difficulties of moving 80,000 men to Archangel and undoubtedly wonder ed why such forces should be landed in Scotland instead of being carried to a French port.
