Professor Maspero is about to publish
the work on the royal mummies found
at DER ell Bahari, with trsnslstions OF
the writings on papyrus and inscriptions
and anatomical measurements OF the
bodies.
Columns, colossal heads, slabs covered
with bas-relieis, and other relics found
by DR.. Naville on the site of the temple
at Bubastis. on the Nile, have reached
England as a visible ret1rn for the sums
expended by the Egypt exploration
fund. The Liverpool Post gives list
of the chief spois, and says a gigantic
head of the god Hathor and other pieces
are to be forwarded TO Boston in accord
ance with the promise made last year.
Another votiye tablet has been found
on the site of the old temple OF Jupiter
Peninus within view OF the famous mon
astery on the Great Saint Bernard,
whence come the dogs 50 much admired
by the lovers of that animal. A centu-
rion, Dasimius Forts, dedicated ii, per-
haps, because he escaped the perIls OF
the snow. There is not pillar or q
piece of upright wall Of this temple left,
and the sight looks so bare that it is hard
TO see where a tablet could hide itself
Yet nearly forty OF these have been
found.

A GLIMPSE OF THE PALACE.
On the other side of the vesti6ule is
grand reception-room fully as wide and
nearly as long as the East Room of
the White House at Washington. This
is paved with marble Mosaic, and its
high ceiling, twice as high as that OF the
East Room, is gorgeously decorated
with carvings OF gold Brilliant chande-
liers hang down from it, and about the
walls are o1l-paintings OF the royal family,
and the only woman's face among them
is that of the present Queen, whose
sweet face looks down beside those
of the Kings brothers, and has the
best light and the place Of honor Of
the whole room. The furniture OF this
room is European, and the treasures OF
Europe have been raDsacked to I'LL 1t.
There are rare vases from Dresden. fill
gree work from Venice, and richly-caryed
gold from Siam. Through this room
and on into third grand reception
room wo went with the Siamese noble.
Here the King received, the day before
he left. the Austrian Prince whom have

sent here as 4 Minister to China, Japan,

things Two OF the largest elephants
tnsks, wonderfully carved, stand beside
the mantel, and an album on little
stand at the back OF the room has me-

porcelain and set in the richest OF dia-

He will return in October, bringing his fami-
ly with him.
Secretary Rusk, Postmaster General Wanna
maker and Attorney General Miller called in
the afternoon and each had business con.
ference with the President. It is expected
that several appointments will be announced
to morrow. Tho President and Mrs. Harri.
son will leave Washington Saturday after.
noon for an extended stay at Deer Park.
Mr.. Walker Blaine said to-day that there
was not the slightest foundation for the story
of his fathers resignation, nor for the report
even that he contemplated resigninR. SEQ
rotary Blaine in all probability will not re-
turn to Washington before the first of Octo-
Der, when he expects to occupy his new resi-
dence on Madison Place, opposite Lafayette
Square, the old Seward mansion. Mr.. Walk
or Blaine will have an interview with Presi
dent Harrison before the latter leaves fol-
Deer Park to consult with him about his
proposed visit to Bar Harbor in August. Il
Is among the probabilities that the President
will have vessel at New York and make the
trip by sea for the benefit recruiting from ar

ON THE DIAMOND.

HEADLIGHTS ON THE DIAMOND.
The Pretty Miniature Fete Champetre
Given by tho Guild OF All saints
Mission on the Base Ball Grounds
Was a Decidedly Happy Event, So
Says Everyone.
picturesque scene was that which
spread Its bright lights, pretty booths hung
with fanciful lanterns, gaily decorated bow
ers and lively music over the base ball
grounds on Howard avenue last evening.
The softly turfed diamond, upon which
''Birdie" and 'sthe Baby" have electrified adj
mirers of the sport by numbers of novel an
tics, was turned into an area as light as day
by the big faces of three locomotive head
lights. Behind these stood the grand stand,
studded with lights and Chinese lanterns of
all kinds and filled with a jolly crowd of
young people. Set at intervals about the
stretch between the stand and diamond were
fanciful tents and booths, all decorated
profusely with lights and bright adornments.
Within these groups of pretty girls sold Ice
cream, cake, candy, soda, lemonade and
knick knacks of all kinds to the hosts of
visitors.
The event was miniature Fete Champetre
given by the Guild of All Saints Mission.
It was big success. So said the ladies in
charge, Rev. Mr.. Camp of the mission and
nearly every one who attended. The evening
was spent by the multitudes of young people
in strolling about among the brilliantly light
ed tents Waiting upon the bright area of the
diamond to the music of st. Georges band,
which was seated in the grand stand, and in
other equally pleasant pastimes.
Among the ladies who had charge of the
pretty fair were Mrs. Wiseman, Mrs. Jar
dine, Mrs. Tuthill, Mrs. Camp, Mrs. Hobro
and others. The affair was a most enjoyable
one for all who participated, and the young
people will surely keep sharp lookout fol

Dolly Madison,s House.


The old historic houses of Washington are
rapidly passing away. The march of improve
ment requires that more modern dwellings
with greater conveniences shall take their
place. There still exists on the corner of
Eighteenth street and New York avenue, a
house that in its day was one of the most
famous in our city. It has, because of its
peculiar build, always been known as the
'ectagon house." 1t was built by John Tay-
loe, rich Virginian, and the father of Ben
jamin Ogle Tayloe, whose residence is now
occupied by Senator Don Cameron on Lafay-
cite Square. When the British burned the
White House in 1914 the Tayloe property was
rented by the government for an executive
mansion, and here it was that Mistress "Dol-
ly" Madison gave her dinners and receptions
until the White House was made habitable
again. The Right Honorable Charles Bagot,
. diplomat of large experience, was the Eng
lish Minister to this country for the most of
the time that Mrs. Madison resided in this
house, and he wrote to friend In London
that although he had been stationed in most
of the capitals of Europe and of course had
been most handsomely entertained, he had
never spent pleasanter evenings than in the
comparativly plain dwelling place of Mrs.
Madison. A high compliment to the wife of

A Dreamer of Dreams.

Il
Alfred Morton, a brioklayer, living at IA
Cation alley, has had dream to which some
of his acquaintance attach Significance
though Mr.. Morton himself SAYS he does
not.
ION Tuesday night last I dreamt that
was somewhere on the Ohio River on &
steamboat" said Mr.. Morton to reporter
II thought that saw great layers of men
women and children lying in the very centre
of the river. To me they appeared to be
dead, and turned to some one and inouired
what it meant I was told they were fish,
ing, and I remarked that they were in a pe-
culiar position for that. A moment later
the dream had passed away"
Some people who have heard of this dream
think it foreshadows another food attended
with horrors such as those of YOUNGSTOWN, Mr..
Morton last night said he had many times
dreamed things that had afterward become
realities. but none of any great Importance.
In 1884, while he and Mrs. Morton were
visiting at Birmingham, England, Mr.. Nor
ton was one day attacked upon the street,
without provoeation, by a Staffordshire
rough and four companions. In self-defense
he shot one of the men, though not fatally,
but upon trial he was honorably acquitted.
Before his trial he dreamt of the place in
which the Court would sit and of the man
ner in which he triumphantly walked out of
courI Wnen the jury returned Its verdict.
All this subsequently came true. A number
of other dreams about minor affairs had af-
terward been realized. The most singular
circumstances of all, however, was the dream
of Mr.. Morton's father on the night of the
ARRAY at Birmingham. The elder Morton
lived in Allegheny. Thrice that night Mr..
Morton dreamed that his son Alfred, in far
away England, had shot man. IL few
days the news came that such as the
case.
For this and other reasons the acquaint
ances of Mr.. Morton fear that there may be
some significance in his latest dream.

THE SHARON DIVORCES CASE.
Sarah Althea Cannot Get Any of tn
Dead Mans Millions.

Sarah Althea Cannot Get Any of the
Dead Mans Millions.
SAN FRANcIsco, July 1.-THE notorious
Sharon divorce case was probably ended to-
day by the State Supreme courts lewiston re-
versing Judge Sullivan's ruling granting
Sarah Althea the rights of property of wife
and ordering new trial OF the case. This
is the second decision of the Supreme court
The first affirmed Sullivan's decision in the
case. Then the Sharon heirs appealed on
the ground that the findings were not war;
ranted by the evidence, and on this ground
the Supreme court to-day upheld their ap-
peal. The court holds that there is no evil
dence that the persons lived together as is
usual with married people. On the contra
ry, their marriage was secret, and the rela-
tions sustained by Sarah toward Sharon were
those of a mistress. Consent to marry is
not sufficient under the code, but
must be followed by the mutual assumption
of marriage rights and duties. This is the
gist of the decision which dealt death blow
to secret marriage not so1emnized by church
or State.
The best lawyers here believe that this ends
Sarah Althea's case, as she would have to
prove on new trial that the marriage with
Sharon was known to the public, which
would be impossible Nearly all her wit
nesses have deserted her. Sharon's estate
was worth $15 ,000, 900, and she would have
received one-third of that amount if she had
won the case.

HARDLIVEs FOR MINERS.
Some Of the Miseries Endured In the III.
llnels Mines.

Some Of the Miseries Endured In the H.
lineis Mines.
LA SALE, July 18.-The investigation of
the coal mining difficulties here yesterday
developed a bad state of affairs at Braid wood.
There the miners endure all the evils of the
truck store system. They are hampered in
their work at some of the mines by reason of
not being adequately supplied with timber
for propping up the roof, contrary to the
State mining law, and are in jeopardy Of
their lives. The coal cars, according to the
testimony, were not properly constructed, SO
that much coal fell off while being hauled to
the mouth of the mine, all of which is con-
fiscated by the company, and which some
days aggregates upward of twenty five tons.
The mines are very wet, and the miners had
their clothes constantly soaked. Often the
air is insufficient and bad.
Complaints from Braceville and Streator
were not so great. Miners wages averaged
only $27 to $36 month, with deductions 70,
powder, repairing tools, &C., of several dol
lars each month. L. q. Plumb, Streator
operator, found competition 80 sharp that he
said he saw little hope for the northern I'LL
nois operators. He had submitted his case
to board Of arbitration. If he could moi
operate his mine at the rate of wages award
ed he would close it. If the miners could
not work for the wages that might be named
they were to be under no obligations to Dc
