CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Suit for $50, 900
damages was begun in the circuit court
against the Chicago Times and j.. j. West
by Mrs. Meckie Rawson. The Times in
June published an interview with Banker
Eawson relative to the shooting of At
torney Henry G. Whitney by Mrs. Raw
son. In this interview Mr.. Rawson is
alleged to have said many uncompli-
mentary things about his wife, the worst
of which, in her Judgment, was the
statement that she was bad from child
hood, and allowed liberties to be taken
with her by blacklegs, gamblers and
steamboat men. Capt. w. p. Black and
Seth #. Crews, attorneys for Mrs. Raw
son, wrote to the Times, it is said, ask
ing it to disclaim its own responsibility
for the alleged libel, but no answer was
returned.

ORIGINAL Resin p-place was in danger OF desecra-
ton. =,
Alexander died in Babylon either from the
effects Of poison or more probably from pro-
longed debauch. A week passed before his
body was inferred; and two years were occupied
in preparations for the final obsequies in Egype'
The master of the funeral ceremonies was
Arde rs, who was instructed by the governors
of the kingdom and the generals Of the army
to bury the dead in the temple OF Jupiter
Ammon in the Libyan desert. This was the
ancient fame toward which Alexander had
marched with mighty army through the
deserts after founding the city which bears MS
name. The priests Of the temple had pro-
claimed him TO be the son OF Jupiter Ammon'
and his flatterers after death insisted upon
CARRYING his ashes to his fathers house in the
heart of the Libyan waste. Ptolemy set out
from Egypt with his best troops met the mag
nilicent funeral procession in Syria. and pre-
vailed upon Arideu. to modify the arrange
ments for burial. Alexander was buried with
great pomp in Memphis, and not long after
ward the remains were carried to ALEXANDRIA,
where a magnificent temple was erected and
all the honors rendered by the ancients to demi-
gods were paid to him in his own city.
There has been much uncertainty in modern
times respecting the site OF the conquerors
tomb. One or two medieval writer's referred
TO the mausoleum as one that could easily be
identified in Alexandria as late as the four
tenth century, but no mention was made by
them of the sarcophagus. II the discoveries
at Saida arc fully confirmed, the most natural
bypothesis that can be advanced In explanation
Of the removal of the coffin to Syria is that
which We have already suggested After tho
days Of the Ptolemcs Alexandra was con-
oucred by Arabians, Persians and Moham-
medans, and previous to one Of these numerous
incursions the ashes of the great monarch may
have been secretly removed for reinterment In

Colonel Fellows has neither the moral nor the

been universally dcrided. Nobody wanted him.
Nobody thought of him. He was taken up at

individual who has obtained the distinction of
being Police Justice and the leader Of fac

fight Mr.. Cookers candidates. and Mr. Croker
said, GAN right, Mr.. Power, it shall be DONE"

questions only elicit smile, and yet tho mo-
mentous fact is that, backed by the immense
political machines which have grown up under
