Relieved to Have Been Discoyered.

His Remains and Those of His wife
Relieved to Have Been Discovered.
CHnLTcoTHE, o., Nov. 17.-Warren K.
Morehead and DIR. Cresson, who have
been prosecuting excavations here for
the past three months in the interest of
the World's Fair, have just made one of
the richest finds of the century in the
way of prehistoric remains, These gem
tlemen have confined their excavations
to the Hopewell farm, seven miles from
here, upon which are located some 20 odd
Indian mounds.
They were at work on a mound 500
feet in length, 200 feet wide and-26 feet
in height At the depth of IA feet, near
the centre of the mound, they exhumed
the massive skeleton of a man which
was encased in a veritable copper armor.
The head was covered by an oval shaped
copper cape. The jaws had copper
holdings and the arms were dressed in
copper. Copper plates covered the chest
and stomach. On each side of the head
on protruding sticks were wooden ant
lers ornamented with copper.
The mouth was stuffed with genuine
pearls of immense size, but much de-
cayed by the ravages of time. Around
the neck was a necklace of BEARS teeth
set with pearls. At the side of the male
skeleton was also found a female skele-
ton, the two supposed to be man and
wife.
1t is estimated that the bodies were
buried where they were found fully 600
years ago. Messrs. Morehead and Cres-
son consider this find one of the most
important ones that they have yet made,
and believe that they have at last found
the King OF the Mound Builders.

PTTsBURG, Pa, Nov. II. "A fatal
rear end collision between two Pan
handle Railroad freight trains occurred
Just west of Bergettstown, about 20
miles west of this city, at 4 o'clock

From the Fair Reporter ]
City Hall.

1t was not without reason that the Re
porter called attention to the advantages
of City hall and warned the people of the
necessity of unceasing vigilance to preserve
nual attack upon this much loved struct-
ure has been ordered and its enemies are
rallying their forces for the assault. But;
why this folly ? Why attempt so frequent
~ what has been SO often and emphat-
ically rejected. Doubtless, in the hope that
Tsooner or later the people will tire of rush
ing to its defence. But it should be borne
in mind that the people are determined
to retain this hall for the use to which it is
now put and success gained in opposition
to this wish will be only temporary and
short lived. As has been already pointed
out in these columns, it is SO thoroughly
adapted to the use of public meetings, both
on account of its central location as well
| as because of its superior accommodations,
its destruction would be heartless act of
vandalism which TO expediency or neces-
sity at present existing can justify.
1t is not necessary to consider in detail
the reasons advanced by our legal friends
for The desired change,it will suffice to state
that the result would be to deprive the
many for the benefit of a few, while the
good accruing would be for the benefit of
| these few at the expense of the commune
| ty. The story of wealth diverted to other
| channels is like McGinty "out of sight
The extra expense incurred by litigants
may not be pleasant for the legal fra
ternity to contemplate, but it is very con
selling for the Christian who loves peace
| and seeks freedom from legal strife and
who sees in this sure means of lessening
this evil.
Now, gentlemen, the Reporter is not op-
posed to extra court accommodations, but
| thinks it bad policy on your part to an
tagonize. in carrying out your purpose, a
| large and influential element in our COM
munity and to destroy that which has been
so substantially erected, which will be
needed as long as town meetings exist. and
is a blessing to thousands who use it as a
place of amusement,
Make a bold, manly and courageous
stand for what you look upon as a neces-
sity; ask for a building which will be use
full to you and ornamental to the city,
and you will have the sympathy and sup
port of many who oppose your present eff
forts. But no vandalism, no undoing
of what has been so well done, in word,
Hands off City Hall.

A Novel Plan of Suicide.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. William
Rudy, young man aged 20, years, COM
mitted suicide in q most sensational
manner at his home in this city yester-
day 1t is alleged that Rudy came
home and found that his mother had
drank to excess, and this SO troubled
him that he resolved to make away with
himself. Rudy poured oil over him
self, and, by thrusting his hand into the
fire, became enveloped in flames. He
then seized sharp knife and stabbed
himself over the heart, inficting a
wound that would in itself have resulted
fatally. He was terribly burned, his
flesh hanging in shreds, and in short
tim death ended his excruciating suf-
ferinos

THE INTRUSIVE TURK.
He Is Always Ready to Thrust Himself
IJDon Others.

He Is Always Ready to Thrust Himself
Upon Others.
The Turkey" of diplomatists and map
makers means, not the land of this
Turk, but those Iands-Greeb, Bulga-
rian, Servian and Albanian-in which
their enemy the Turk is still encamped.
On no spot of Europe, says a writer in
the Forum, on no spot of the coast OF
Asia, is the Turk really at home. He
is everywhere foreign intruder, a
burglar who has thrust himself into
the houses of other men. While other
conquests have in time changed into
lawful possessions, either by the con-
querors assimi1ating the conquered, or
the conquered assimilating the conquer
ors, the Turk remains as much a
stranger in Europe as he was when he
first came in,- more than five hundred
years back. And so it must ever be as
long as the Turk remains Turk; for
no Mahometan rule can, without cast
ing aside the precepts of his own laws,
become what ruler is bound to be
towards the subjects Of other reli-
gions. 1t is his first duty as Mahom-
etan to keep men of all other creeds-
the Christian in Europe, the Fire-Wor-
shipper in Persia, the Hindoo in India
in bondage to the men of the dominant
faith. He therefore cannot reform;
promises of reform made by the Turk
are in their own nature worthless.
They are nowhere carried out, unless
| when the Turk is afraid to break them
under the eye of more powerful Euro
peans.
To talk of Turkish government
| is therefore mere diplomatic con-
ventionality. There is no Turkish
government" The object of govern
meut', is the protection of its subjects
and that the Turk does not give. The
so-called Turkish government" is an
organized system of brigandage with q
chief brtgand called q Sultan" at iii
head.

THE EARTH STAR IN WET WEATHER.
During period of dryness the earth star
is contracted into ball Gig. y, and is
blown about over the sand. As soon as
the rains bring enough moisture for the
termination of its spores, the plant be-
comes anchored by the expansion of its
protecting arms. At the same time this
exposes the thin walled spore case and un-
covers the mouth, SO that every gust of
wind will carry away hundreds of its tiny
offspring. Some of these are now sure to
flnd resting place where there is food and
moisture enough for them to thrive and
grow into mass of hyphB.

welding Railroad RailS.

One of the most important uses to which
electric welding machines are put, says
Science, is welding railroad rails. Owing
to the difficulty OF maintaining rails in
crowded and paved city streets it is an ad-
vantage to have the rails as long as posi-
BILE, thereby reducing the number of joints
to be cared for, and during the past a COM
pany in Johnstown. N. Y, has been sue
cessfully experimenting in electrically
welding rails up to ITO pounds per yard.
As q result of careful tests it is claimed
that q saving of "a per cent. is effected.

Points on Lubrication.


A heavy bearing at low speed requires a
heavy lubricant if it be applied slowly; but
II it be applied fast light, greasy oil will
do the work well. In the former case a
heavy mineral oil will not fail to do the
work as well as any other oil, and at one
third less cost, because other oils of the
same body and viscosity would be too
sticky to work economically.
A heavy bearing at high speed requires
an oil especially viscous, of very high fire
test. and gravity which permits of its
spreading quickly into the smallest crew
ices, while its lubricating qualities are
such as will keep bearing cool. A light
bearing at low speed needs the ightest
possible oil which will do the work. A
light bearing of high speed is best lubri-
Gated by an oil of high gravity and high
fire test, one that will not evaporate, and
is entirely free from any acidity either in
its manufacture or in the process of re-
fning. The slightest gummy property in
an oil of this sort renders it the most ex-
pensive article that can be used. The Wis
costly Of an oil of this sort should be in
proportion to the work required of it,

wheels, which are placed at right angles
to each other One wheel is larger than
the other, and by an automatic arrange

II cheaper and simpler than the old style

EARTH STARS.

THE EARTH STAR IN DRY WEATHER
Since the earth stars are leafess and des-
titute of the green coloring matter Of foil
age, they belong to the great group of
fungi, which includes mushrooms, puff
balls, molds and innumerable microscopic
sorts. All plants from which this coloring
matter is absent depend for their nutri-
ment upon supply of organic material,
and it Is therefore a puzzle at first sight to
know how the sand loving earth stars can
obtain such food in the localities they fre-
quent.
What we see above ground, however, is
not the whole of the plant, but only the
fruit, which is developed from a mass of
9elicate subterranean fbers constituting
the plantv vegetative apparatus. By care
fully scraping away the earth at the base
of q young Coaster these fine white threads
may be discovered ramifying in all di-
rections. We must assume that decaying
pieces of roots from neighboring grass
plants and shrubs, along with the remains
Of dead leaves and animal debris which be-
come buried in the sand, supply all the
food necessary.
The first sign of the fruit is an egg
shaped nodule Of compact hyphB. In a
comparatively short time this enlarges to
the size of a robins egg, and then is devel-
oped q thick outer wall inclosing rather
soft contents. In the process Of ripening
the pulpy interior becomes transformed
into an immense number Of exceedingly
minute spores, each Of which may give rise
to Q new plant like the parent.
The essential difference between the earth
stars and the true puff balls is in regard to
the rind of the ripe fruit. In the puff balls
this Is comparatively thin, and consists of
an outer and an inner layer, which remain
permanently united. The rind of the earth
stars comprises likewise an outer and an
inner division, but the former-which is
comparatively thick-splits into segments,
and these ultimately separate from the del
icate inner rind, exposing what looks like
little puff ball

Kind, loving and sympathetic couple, and yet
the families could MOI agree. A little niece of
Mrs. Anderson is credited with adding 90 The

Matters finally became SO unpleasant tina,

Baker telling him that he would like TO tsrmi.
nate their agreement. It was late In the season
and he could get no other tenant but he would
be pleased to pocket that loss if Mr. and Mrs
Baker would leave. The letter was rather curt
In reply Mr.. Baker said he had been put to con-

The men had several arguments on the SUBJ
Ject. but could come to no agreement. Ander-
son invited Mr.. Baker to talk the matter over
coolly. They met in the station on Friday
morning while waiting for train, and Mr.
Baker lost his temper. He said, according to
Anderson, that no one should dictate to him,
and then motioned Overwhelmingly toward his
hip pocket.
