e. to adSpE thTAeLrArEnRo, of Alex
xt theyxfllltE /, writes to the directors of
n AIRS Fair that he is in position
safhish them an interesting exhibit.
He has sent the officials q photograph
of sarcophagus which he asserts is that
of Cleopatra. 1t was recently discovered
in Caesars Camp, near Alexandria, by
archaologists When the sarcophagus
was opened, the contents were in ashes,
with the exception of the skeleton,
which is still preserved. Mr.. Tagliaferro
says he is prompted to negotiate with the
Exposition authorities from notices
which he has seen in the newspapers
from the United States announcing that
the Khedive of Egypt has been asked by
the directors of the Exposition for the
mummy of Rameses. His price is $780,
600 at Alexandria.
II. NJ. STANLEY has sent to the Stanley
and African Exhibition in London the
white cap which has been so often repre-
sented. This cap was designed and made
by Mr. Stanley himself from piece of
tenting at Fort Bodo, in the Great Forest,
and was worn by him during the last two
years of the expedition. The cap is
shown IN case in the main hall of the
exhibition, together with sword richly
mounted in gold and ivory, presented to
Mr. Stanley by the late Sultan Seyyid
Bargash, and was by him carried across
Africa, and was also recognized as a
talisman by the Arabs. The explorer
has added many other interesting objects
to the exhibition.
PETER LYNCH was awarded verdict
for 1886 in his suit before Judge McCon-
nell against the Chicago Lumber Com
pany for $1,000 Lynch has an extent
sive cabbage patch near the corner of
Ashland avenue and Thirty fifth street.
Immediately north is the lumber com
pany's planning mill He claims that, in
the summer Of 1888, the defendants
heaped huge pile of shavings behind
their mill, and the wind distributed
them over his cabbages The crop of
1883 was buried out of sight and ruined,
while, Lynch says, the ground was so
poisoned by the shavings that it was I'M
productive all the following year.
JOE CASPER, member of the Indian
apolis Council, has watch charm which
is enough to give some people the hor-
rors. Several years ago he had two of
his toes amputated, and he preserved
them in alcohol. The bottle was acct
dentally broken, and Joe threw the toes
into a. box in his garrett Not long since
he ran across the toes and found they
were mummified,, completely. Though
greatly shrunken, their forms were still
perfect He had them mounted in gold
in unique designs, and now wears them
as pendants to his watchchain, and claims
that the strange charm has brought him
good luck.
SOME very interesting facts of crime
are revealed by Scotch Sheriff. He
knew of one woman who, between the
years 1914 and 1865, was committed to
prison 1877 times for being drunk, and
when drunk her invariable practice was
to smash windows. A man when drunk
stole nothing but Bibles, and was trans
ported for his seventh theft. Another
man stole nothing but spades; woman
stole nothing but shoes; another nothing
but shawls; but the queerest thief was
one who stole tubs, and was sent to penal
servitude for his seventh tub.
A BUFFALO family missed the baby
while moving the other day and the
search for the infant ended by the side of
roll of carpet on end in the hall, whence
feeble cries were issuing. On unrolling
the carpet the child was found, rather
dusty and frightened, but fully able to
make known its presence by lusty
screams. It turned out that one of the
men, in rolling up the carpet, mistook
the sleeping infant for bundle of cloth
and thourht he MIGHT ms well roll the
