WASHINGTON, December 22d.-Mrs. Halford,
wife of the Presidents Private Secretary, who
has been very i'll in this city for time past,
is thought to be in dying condition tonight.
She has never been of a very robust constitution,
and it is thought she has never fully recovered
from her terrible experience on the express
train at the time OF the Johnstown disaster.
Her present sickness is the result of an ex-
tremely aggravated attack of asthma which,
during the past thirty.six hours, has developed
most alarming symptoms

the whole ancient world with the raw material

The magnitude Of the work accomplished BY
the ancient miners will be realized when 1t II
stated that the section made by Mr.. Holmes
crossed a belt Of worked material 50 feet wide
and on an average about feet deep, and that
this belt extends horizontally along the blum
for an unknown distance. but which. Judging
BY surface indications, may be half mile IN
length.
The work Of excavation does not seem TO
have begun at the lower edge Of the worked
belt next the stream and to have been carried
up the slope and against the face OK the
bowlder outcrop, but to have been carried
along the slope from right to left, the gravel
having been worked backward and downward
as the pits advanced. filing up, to great ex-
tent. the earlier excavations. As to the methods
Of digging and moving the material little has
been learned. No remnants or trace OF tools
have been found Wooden utensils, such rs
primitive people might devise, would have
served to loosen and remove the earth.
From a trench 8 feet wide and 30 feet long
cut through the artificial deposits of this
slope have been obtained 5000 worked stones,
all exhibiting design, and over a thousand
cubic feet of material have been examined and
shifted. all or nearly all Of which had been
worked over by the ancient occupant and fully
one tenth Of which consisted of fragments from
his hammer.
II other parts Of this promontory face are as
well supplied with artificial products as this
one, and indications are that such is the cnse,
it is safe to estimate that the site contains over
a million finished, unfinished and broken i'm
plements.

The investigating committee under Mr.
Holmes was particularly concerned with por-
ton of this on the north side of the creek
and lying just west Of 14th-street road Here
the plateau faces rise to 100 feet above the
creek bed and 200 feet above tide water The
slopes are precipitous, but generally even and
regular and are covered with forest, much of
which is primevaL A number OF small rivulets
descend from the plateau through deep ravines
into the creek. The cutting of two ravines by
these small streams has left between them a
promontory or spur of the plateau with a
nearly level top 100 yards in width, the steep
slopes OF which descend to the rivulets on the
east and west and to the creek on the south.
Upon these steep slopes the primitive people
found the material used IN implement making
and here they worked until mass of refuse of
astonishing magnitude was accumulated, and
which IS found not only upon the slopes but in
the masses of gravel at the base of the slopes
and in the flood planes of the valley even down
to Rock creek and for an unknown distance
along its course.
THE DISCOVERY OF THE SITE.
So far as is known the first discovery of imple-
ments upon this particular site was made by
Mr. De Lancy Gill. who at that time, 1887. was
Mr.. Holmes assistant in the illustrations divi-
sion of the geological survey. and Is now in
charge of that work. He was engaged in
sketching upon the bank of the branch. and by
chance observed an implement i'll the gravel at
his feet. Leaving his work he climbed the
bluff to the north looking for others, and at
subsequent visit came upon q number of heaps
of shop refuse in the western ravine at the
point now cut by the section which has been
dug. The neighboring valleys had been pre-
viously visited by Mr.. ). V. Proudft, and per
hsps by others, but no shop sites seem to have
been definitely located.
In September. 1889. Mr.. Holmes visited Mr.
Bagden, owner of the property, to obtain per-
mission to work upon the premises and learned
from him that about the year 1878 a street con-
tractor had been permitted to collect material
Cor paving from these grounds and that the
piles Of refuse stone which had been noticed
were gathered together at that time, a portion
only Of the heaps collected having been carted
away. At that time narrow roadway was cut

Mr. Holmes, after study OF the topographic
features Of the vicinity, determined from the
eccentricities of contour the location of the old
quarry and excavated trench which cut a sec
tlon directly across the line followed by the
ancient workman IN his iabors. He was re-
warded by finding little below the surface
beds and masses Of debris, the half-fnished
and rejected implements thrown aside by the
workmen- Ii would appear that the workmcn

large part OF the slope and that probably mil

In cutting the section from below the first
positive evidence Of ancient excavation was
encountered at about the 35th foot and at
the 10th foot this work had reached feet in

In the dim and misty past. For In the vicinity
of our city rude stone implements Of q certain
class are found in great numbers. So great
are their numbers and so thoroughly scattered
throughout the Potomac valley are they that
they are brought in with every load OF gravel
from the creek beGs. and the laborer breaking
stone for our streets each wear passes thousands
OF them under his hammer. These curious
relics have at all times attracted considerable
attention from archROlOgists, but 1t Is only re-
Gently that they have received careful study.
OF late Mr.. ". II. Holmes. the archRologist OF
the bureau of ethnoiogy, has given them his
undivided attention, and he has been led to a
number Of important conclusions with refer
ence to these relics of bygone race.
QUARRY WORKSHOP.
Within a mile Of the city limits quarry
work shop of these early stone workers has
been unearthed and can be seen today almost
exactly as it was left By this prehistoric people
no one knows how long ago. This Is one Of
the most fertile Fields for archaeological re-
search to be found anywhere in this country.
This workshop of the ancient hakeG-stone
tool cutters has now been carefully examined
and large number of specimens OF this early
work have been preserved for further study
and speculation. Recently q STAR reporter
accompanied Mr.. Holmes to the scene OF his
labOrs.

ILLUMINATING THE TABLE.
A new method Of lighting dinner tables
in a decorative way has already been
introduced here. Electric wires are run
about the table, Illuminating small globes
here and there. These globes can be
of one color and thus accentuate the par.
ticular tint chosen for the occasion, or they
can be Of many shades, giving general bril-
liancy. 1t il said that these electric lights will
supersede candles, al there is no going out too
soon and no smoke with electricity. The diff
Guilty Is small Of running light wire wherever
such an illuminating effect is desired, while the
result is softly brilliant and beautiful.
Since flowers are no longer seen in uuauti-
ties in table decorations this way Of giving
much color with the lighting will probably be
popular. More attention, too, will probably be
given to the menu cards, making them more
prominent than they have been. II 10 pretty
