A PETRIFIED WOMAN.

Now on Exhibition in This City
Yesterday NJ. ID. Reed arrived
in this city in company with a very
peculiar woman.
| The woman is the famous petri-
fed woman dug up a few months
lago by some miners in Tuolumne
county, Cal.
The woman was brought here
in a box and when it came down
on the train, the train men thought
it was corpse and conductor
Bray wanted it put out Of the car
on the grounds that it smelt badly.
Scientists who have examined
it put the age of the petrification
at over 1000 years.
At first it Was supposed to be
some sort OF humbug like the Car
diff Giant but leading physicians
have decided it genuine.
The figure is that of a well
formed woman which in life must
have weighed about 125 or 80 lbs.
and in its presen. stone condition
weighs 800 lbs.
1t is lying as it might have laid
when stretched out for burial. on
is back with it's arms resting
closely by its side.
The entire body is as hard as
marble and of light grayish
olor. The arm was broken yes
erday by accident in moving it !
rom the depot, and Miller, the up
olsterer, WAS sent for to fix it. {
lie was a trifle bashful at first.
ut finally succeeded in putting
ne lady in proper shape for ex- t
ibition. q
As she is the only petriied
oman in the world she draws
rye crowds.

NeIghborhood Guilds.

A contemporary summarizes the in
tcrcSting account OF "Neighborhood
Guilds" given by DIR. Stanton Colt, the
young American who has been apply.
ing to London life the experiment
which he had already carried out in the
heart OF New York poverty. A neigh.
borhood guild consists of number OF
small clubs formed according to age.
DR.. Colts field is divided into five clubs
two for young boys and girls, two
for youths and maidens and one for
adults. In each guild the clubs
are small enough for the leader
TO know each member personally
the vice of excessive size being
one which Dr. Colt condemns. Several
guilds may fedcrate-the theory of the
guild Is that of reproducing the family
as the best type OF corporate life. Above
all, everything Is built on "a democratic
basis, aud each guild Is self-governing.
Tis the chief idea of each guild worker
that there Is 10 be no condescension, nc
going down" TO the poor. The success
Of the various experiments In guilds
shows that this form OF charity meets
certain needs of the age, and undoubt-
eddy leads TO an exten sion OF social sym.
pathy, and to better understanding
between the rich aud the poor.

BURIED IN HIS OVERCOAT.
A Case In York County that Rather Indi.
Gates Foul Play.

The following from the Newport News
correspondent of the DISPATCH doubtless
refers to the same skeleton of which our
Williamsburg correspondent wrote day
or two ago and which was supposed TO be
that OF an escaped lunatlc:
Parties summoned here TO court tell OF the dis
coyery near llarwoods Mill, in York county, of
the body Of an unknown white man, carelessly
buried with his clothes and even his oycrcoat on.
at "a point In the woods on the side OF the York
county road about fiye miles from MOrrison's de-
pot. Mr.. Cox, going out few mornings ago 70
feed his hogs, was attracted by buzzards 10 the
spot where the body was found. Yuliures and
dogs had dragged II from the shallow and imper-
feet grave into which II had evidently been hasti.
ly put two or three weeks before. Circumstances
naturally suggesting foul play a coroners in-
quest was held at once-the verdict being simply
that the man was unknown and that he came 10
his death by supposed violent means. Identified.
ton was impossible. The man was nicely dressed,
