A SILVER MINE HOAX
Mrs Langtry, the famous actress, has been hoaxed. A little while ago she received a cablegram announcing that a silver mine had been discovered on an estate belonging to her in America, but the statement proves to be incorrect. She is very philosophical about it. “ There is nothing more to be said about my mine,” she said to a reporter. “My representative, on his arrival in New York, put himself into communication with the authorities of the district iu which the property is situated, and was so satisfied that my cable was either a silly joke or an attempt to extort money, that he is now on the ocean returning home.’ ‘‘lam not exactly disappointed. I know my America well enough to realise the great importance of the word “ Verification.”
