I'lTTSHURG MISER.
People laughed at old Peter Lie
bauch, and called him crazy.
Peter begged for a living. Also
he sold shoestrings and herbs. He
wore funny, ill-fitting clothes. His
house was a shack on the shelf of
a cliff, worth as much as a pile of
driftwood.
Peter lived there all alone ex
cept for his half-starved mongrel
dog. Only his neighbors and his
customers knew him. And they
pitied him while they laughed at
him.
But when Peter Llebauch's fool
ish actions grew menacing, when he
came to curse the children and
threaten them, the police thought
it would be only charitable toward
the old man, as well as more safe
for the neighborhood, to remove
him to an institution.
But when they dragged the old
man, kicking and cursing and light
lug like a madman, down those stairs
which but few he had ever used
they found
Gold!
Gold in piles and stacks. Gold
hidden between the walls, gold
heaped in old trunks and boxes
Gold everywhere. And much sil
ver coin.
The little shack, stripped of its
treasure, was worth perhaps
As the shack stood when the po
lice entered it, it was worth ?00,
000. Bank books hidden away in
crevices in the wall showed deposits
of as much more.
Peter Liebauch, who dressed like
a tramp, was worth at a conservative
valuation $100,000.
Two big express wagons groaned
and creaked as they bore away the
saffron treasure in 5G big bags, to
a deposit vault. It took the clerks
two days to count the money.
The finding of old Peter's hoard
is all Pittsburg's sensation.
Xow that the discovery has been
made, old inhabitants are recalling
old stories about Peter.
His father, Antone, before him.
was a miser, they say. Peter and
his brother Andrew followed his
Steps.
There was a romance once in the
brothers' lives. There were twin
sisters, the daughters of a wealthy
man in Millvale. whom the two
brothers fell in love witn. But
though they came to court, they did
not dress or act as ordinary suitors.
Their arguments were chiefly mys
terious ones of money. And the
girls, being good, healthy, normal
American girls, who did not value
money for its own sake, laughed the
strange suitors to scorn.
This closed the door to the Lle
bauchs' hearts. It was never again
opened to the world. They retired
to their little hut on the hillside
forever.
It was built like a fortress, in a
way. Xo one could get in except by
the long stairs which led to the
level ground below. One of the
brothers and the hair-starved dog,
remained on guard all the time,
wlillo tho other went out to beg, to
gather herbs and mint and sell it
around the city.
They had a great, old-fashioned
shot gun, rusty and loaded with
nails and slugs. It would doubtless
have exploded If discharged, but it
was a great comfort to the two
brothers.
One night two years ago when
Peter came home, it was to find
his brother Andrew stretched out
on the floor, two gaping wounds in
his side. He was dead, whether by
suicide, or from the attack of somo
unknown intruder, was never satis
factorily explained.
Peter then went his way alone,
llo received no visitors. Even the
priest from nearby St. Mary's could
never got farther than the door.
When Sergt. Fnlkner and two
policemen made their search of the
shack, it was like the realization
of a wild dream.
A table, so thickly covered with
dust that its drawers woro hidden,
was bulging with coin. There wore
dollars, quarters, dimes, nlckles and
pennies.
In losets and pantries wns money
Old clothes, just rags of cloth wer'o
groaning with treasure, every pock
et, tho linings oen, filled.
Along pantry shelves wns money
packed in cigar boxes. In piuh-'
-ra and jars, and saucers, and to-,
bacco boxes, tomato cans, wash
boilers, salt sacks, tubs -everything
that would hold money was filled.
Leibauch will be sent to a private
sanitarium. He was not. known to
have any relatives but with the news
of the (lading of tho fortune many
dalmnnts have appeared.
Destroying the Cabbage Worm.
A number of Pennsylvania cab
bage growers wrote to Prof. H. A.
Surface, the State Zoologist, for In
structions in regard to destroying
the cabbage worm, which has be
come quite a serious pest of tho
cabbage crop. For the benefit of
all growers, State Zoologist Sur
face has given out the following
Information:
"The cabbage worm Is most
easily destroyed by the use of an
arsenical application. Most of our
successful cabbage growers use
about two pounds of arsenate of
lead In fifty gallons of water, or
one pound of Paris green in the
same amount of water. The arsen
ate of lead sticks better than the
Paris green, especially on cabbage
leaves, and Is to be preferred. The
liquid bearing the poison should be
blown well around the cabbage
leaves with a good fine spray noz
zle, applying It as a fine mist but
not in drops. It sticks much bet
ter when put on in a fine mist than
when poured on from a sprinkling
can or otherwise applied In drops.
"If It be not convenient to apply
the poison as a spray It can bo mix
ed with thirty times Its bulk of
Paris green or alr-slaked lime, and
applied as a dust. The best results
from this will come from making
the application in the evening, or
In the morning while the dew Is
on. The use of nrsenltes In the
dust or powdered form is recom
mended, especially on small prem
ises where the owner does not
have a spray pump.
"There is no need to fear poison
ing consumers by applying arseni
cal poisons to cabbage for the cab
bage worms. The heads form from
the inside and tho constant tend
ency of the growth is to spread or
open the poisoned loaves, and thus
they are gradually removed. Also
a few of the outer leaves are re
moved in preparing cabbage for the
table, and thus whatever poison may
adhere to it is taken away.
"I have never known of a case of
a person being poisoned by the
spraying or dusting of cabbage, and,
indeed, It is estimated that it would
take two or three hundred heads to
carry enough poison to have any
serious affect on a person. The
extensive growers all over this State
resort to poison to keep the chew
ing pests in check, and especially
apply this for the green cabbage
worm, the same as for the potato
beetle.
TO APPEAI BATE DECISION.
Interstate Commerce Board Says Cir
cuit Court Wilt Be Reversed.
Washington, Aug. 2i. The inter
state commerce commission will ap
peal to the United States supreme
court from tho decision of the United
States circuit court nt Chicago In the
Missouri rate case. The court, in the
judgment of the commission's lawyers,
failed to apprehend fully the princi
ples of law on which was based the
commission's order in the ease.
It Is the unanimous opinion of the
attorneys that the supreme court will
reverse the decision of the circuit
court. It is pointed out that it mani
festly would be Impossible fur the com
mission, In the fixing uf a reasonable
rate between two given points widely
separated, to take Into consideration
every one of tho thousands of rates
that might lie nffected at Intermediate
points. This phase of such a situation
necessarily, it Is asserted, would have
to be handled by the carriers them
selves, so that the rates should con
form to the principles laid down In tin.

or any display of public disapproval.
Mr. Shaw nurt the managers of the
Abbey theater held an extended corre
spondence with the viceroy as to
whether the play should nut be sup
pressed because It was prohibited by
the English censor. Tho viceroy re
minded the manager of tlw theater
that It had received a license to foster
Irish drama and that In his opinion
this whs not the province of Shaw's
play. Further, the viceroy hinted at
the possibility of the license being
withdrawn If the piny proved offen
