GUITEAU'S BONES.
How They Are Whitening in the National
Museum In Washington

How They Are Whitening In the National
Museum in Washington
In small room in the upper story Of the
National museum, formerly Ford's tneater,
in this city, are two wooden trays similar
to those used by housekeepers for kneading
dough. But in this instance, the contents
of the trays are OF more CHASTITY descrip-
ton, being the highly polished bones of
the assassin, Guiteau. While inspecting
the remains of the notorious criminal, the
attention of your correspondent was di-
rected to the extraordinary whiteness Of
the bones, and their resembl ance to poll
ished ivorv. No attempt has been made
to articulate the skeleton, and the trays
bear no number by which they could be
distinguished from similar receptacles in
the museum.
Look IN that paper box over there II you
want to see an interesting skull, said the
guide, pointing to deep hat box on Il
small table strewn with bones and tools
used by anatomists. There was a highly
polished skull in the box and on the right
side was the detection which the insanity
experts wrangled about during the trial.
The attention OF the guide was drawn TO
this fact. but be laughed ~ the idea of its
being an indication of insanity.
"a perfectly symmetrical head, said be,
"would be as rare as white blackbiTd. Out
of 1, 800 skulls examined at the museum
during the dispute about Gulteau's head
only one was found perfect, aud that is now
downstairs in one of the exhibition cases."
IL was ascertalned that in preparing the
bones Of the dead murderer more than
usual care had been taken 10 preserve
them, and consequently the skeleton, when
mounted, will be the best in the collection
of the museum. IL has been deemed advis-
able, for prudential reasons, to keep the
bones in a secure place until they can be
exhibited TO visitors, but all talk about
their identity having been lost is bosh. One
of the fret questions Of the tourist doing
the museum is TO be shown Guiteau's skel-
eton. and in order TO escape being bored
the surgeon in charge has declined 70 ascer-
tain its location IN the building. The pro-
cess py which the bones were treated in
sures their perpetuation for an indefinite
period, end Anatomist +. +. Schainirtt
gives his personal attention to the work.
Not a bone has been lost, and, as before
stated, when articulated the skeleton will
be the best in the museum. The plaster
casts Of his skull have the same inclination
as the real head. The coffin In which the
rem aims Of the assassin were removed from
the iail three days after burial IL retained
NJ the museum. but the outer box is still
in the ground at the Jail. A trusted official
has the KEY Of the room I'm which the bones
are kept, and no one is allowed to range at
will in this spartment.-TWash. special 10

The Washington Relics.

General Ellis Spear yesterday said to
me: II was sent to Clarke county, Vir-
ginia, a few months ago, to assess the value
of original household property OF General
Washington belonging to the Lewis family
there, for which they ultimately received
s12 900. Nellie Curtis, granddaughter OF
Mrs, Washington, married Mr.. Lewis, Ger
eral Westinghouse nephew, and the people
| visited were of that stock. They lived in
strange old brick T.shaped house and
stored these relics in a particular room
kept under lock and key and seldom
opened. No doubt the real furniture OF
Mount Vernon was this in part. General
Washington's personal expense account
book was in the schedule, containing his
card losses. What | was especially inter
ested in was the almost child-hke reverence
these people paid to Washington's name
and associations. They were honest, we'll
bred, yet scarcely worldly people. The
Smithsonian Institution now contains the
purchases. At the first suggestion, OF buy
ing these articles, which came from the
confederate congressman, Colonel Eppa
Hunton, a Tennessee democratic member,
struck the small appropriation out OF the
bill: Mr.. Blame was then talked TO, and he
carried the appropriation right through the
senate, and when it came to the house, par
.imony with its scrutinlzing smallness, was
OF no avail."-[Gath in the New York Tri-

Latest Coronation Facts.

The cornation of the Gar Alexander III,
will, it is thought, be the grandest and
most magnificent cere mony of this kind OF
he present century. The Russian govern
ment is spending millions for the prepara-
tons, and the rich nobility, patricians ana
merchants OF white stoned Moscow" are
wing with each other TO give his majesty
grand reception. Besides the festivities
in the Kremlin, the great ietes for the peo-
ole will be one of the most interesting
parts of the coronation programme. The
enormous Chodyrski plans, where they
are to come off, are now the scene OF the
most busy preparations. booths, leuIsi
barracks and all other eomponents OF a
great Russian fair are being erected, WIZ
stands for the spectators, and an Imperial
pavilion opposite to the Petrofisky palace,
from which the Gear and the court can sur
yey the entire field and the populace at
their amusements. IL Is believed that ~
least 400 600 people will be present. Drink
and food for the people will be distributed
from 100 decorated railroad baggage cars,
transformed into temporary bars ana
drawn mp into one long row. Every guest
receives an earthenware jug stamped Win
the imperial eagle and the date OF the coro-
nation, with which he can call for his beer
and mead. The Masslennikof factory has
furnished 400, 600 Of these jugs in different

A PRETTY STORY
OF Big Hearted Miners, Rich Mines And
Seats In the Senate.

Seats In the Senate.
The lounger on the avenue tells the fol-
lowing story to-day: II have recently
heard story touching the early life Of
Senator Jones, of Nevada, which is most
interesting and should not be lost, and
which l am told is true in every respect
and illustrative of the characteristics of a
class now almost passed away, the forty
miners" in California. This is my story:
Jones had gone to California with thou
sands OF others when the wonderful dis
covery of gold in that tar off land thrilled
every hamlet and village. He had good
and bad fortune. Among those who went
to seek their fortunes there was q
man named Hayward, from Vermont. He
was rather the superior of his associates in
education, and totally unlike them in hab.
its. They were working in pretty good
pay dirt, and at first had fair success, and
finally one after another went away to
more promising localities, unlil Jones and
a few others, among them Hayward, were
left at. the old diggings. Hayward had a
claim on the mountain side, that as yet had
shown no particular promise, still he stuck
to it. One hot summer day. when the Red
hills were quivering with heat, Hayward
came to see Jones. SAID ne:
Jones, AIN very near to wonderful
vein. l know it; l feel it, but | am fiat
broke. want $1,000; with that will make
both our fortunes" "Now, old fellow"
said Jones, ~ have known just 1000 men
who were in exactly your fix They only
needed 81 600, and sometimes 800, to make
their eternal ALL" Hayward continued.
Finally Jones said: II will give you this
money. Ihave three thousand buried I'M
der the fireplace. and when the fire goes
out and my Chinaman leaves, l will get it
out for you, but don't ask me for any more;
cannot afford to lose more than that, and,
while give it to you with the utmost heart
mess, don't ask me for any more"
Hayward got the money and said:
"When | strike it will give you quarter
interest"
One afternoon, about month after this
happened, Jones was sitting in his cabin,
when Hayward sudden y burst in as white
as sheet. 'Jones," said he, III have
struck it,"
'Struck WHAT" said Jones.
~ don't know just what yet" answered
Hayward but have struck the richest
vein have ever SEEM"
They went together to look at it, and,
sure enough, Hayward had struck an i'm
mense bonanza, or pocket" OF almost
pure gold. Jones, with his experience, saw
It was the richest mine in California. They
sent 10 San Francisco for Eugene Kelly,
then young mining expert OF great abil.
ity. He pronounced it the greatest strike
in his time. Hayward had found the New
Amador, the richest gold mine in the world.
He sold it to Wells, Fargo and some others
for So, OC0 900, and the day the sale was
made he gave Jones 81 $50, 900. Jones at
terward married Hayward's daughter. But
this is the history OF the New Amador. and
