To the memory of
GAIL CHRISTIAN RAFUI
author OF
"Antiquitates Americana

His collection OF old maps and fac
smile prescriptions is also large and
precious. Among the relics is stone
sinker found near the site OF Leifs
house-one OF number OF salmon
sinkers picked up along the Charles
an Indian arrow point and a stone
tomahawk found on the field OF the
battle between Thorfnn and Skrallings,
and small cup fashioned out OF solid
stone, found in an excavation near the
site OF Lief's house. 1t is Of the sort
used by the early Scandinavians. There
are many similar relics, Professor Hors-
ford says, found in the territory Of
Norumbega, in graves and elsewhere.
In the grave OF Uncas, in Norwich,
Conn.,, was very old mazer bowl,
which is now preserved in the Slater
Museum. There are also implements
OF war-an iron spear head and an iron
axe; articles for homo use, as soap
stone bowls, such as are found in the
ancient mounds OF Norway also stone
tablets. A great stone mortar, similar
to those used by the Norsemen in early
times in Norway to grind their grain,
was found near the site OF the tower
shown here, and was set in the walls
near its base. Professor Horsford has n
mazer cup or tankard which he had
brought from Norway to show the curly
grained wood 1t is q comparatively
modern affair, of course, but it serves
TO show what the old mazer cups were
like. He has also cross slabs of mazer
wood, highly polished, to show their
curling grain.
Over the mantel in this interesting
room hangs q picture in wide carved
frame. 1t is the testimonial presented
to Professor Horsford at the festival of
the Scandinavia societies in Bosom in
1891 in recognition Of his discoveries.
1t is an original picture in colors OF
Leif's house in process OF building on
the bank OF the Charles. Underneath
is an inscription, followed by the names
OF fifty-four Scandinavian societies, on
one side OF which is engraved the figure
OF Lief, copied from Miss Anne Whit
ney's statue OF the Morse hero. On tho
other side is the figure OF an Indian
maiden, with the surroundings Of the
New World. The picture was designed
and executed by Mr.. Philip Reiss, a
Norwegian artist living in New York,
and the frame OF pear wood, beautifully
carved to illustrate the Yinland sages
and Scandinavian mythology, was the
work of another Norwegian artist, Miss
Amelia Strandberg, Of Philadelphia.
Strange that these discoveries should
BIO made when the whole United States
was on the eve Of preparing to celebrate
the coming OF Columbus 500 years later
than the NorsemenI Speaking Of the
lost city OF Norumbega, Professor Hors-
ford says: 'In view Of tho great inter-
est involved, one might almost wish
say you2-that it could have remained
lost for few years longer. But" he
continues, Sin my judgment, however,
if it were possible to-day to prove that
the Phgnicians visited and long occu-
pied parts of this country, or that this
country was the Atalantis OF Pliny and
Scion, either or both OF them would
dim, by the measure Of the faint Indian
summer haze only, the transcendent
glory OF the life work OF Columbus"

Why Capohart Was Endorsed by the Poo-
Plies Party-Evidenco of n Dicker.
Special Dfspateh 10 he IntelAgeieer.
Polxr PLEASANT, August 3l.-An in
tsresting bit of news in connection with
Mr.. Capehart's candidacy for Congress
has recently leaked out. 1t will be re-
membered that at tho ParkersburE
meeting of tho Peoples party, Mr..
Capehart was endorsed rs a candidate
for Congress in the Fourth district, pre-
sumably for the reason that he is vic
tim OF the popular farming" habit, and
had on one or two occasions entrapped
some stray hayseed in his hair, and
caught delegation Of Spanish needles
and cockle-burs on the legs OF his panta-
oons.
1t turns out now, however, that the
endorsement OF Mr.. Capehart by the
Peoples party was not stimulated by
any consuming love they had for him
as an alleged farmer, but that it was
bought with a price in the shape OF n
promise. The agreement is said to be
this: In case the election OF Presi-
dent is thrown into the house OF repre-
sentatiEes. Mr.. Capehart is pledged to
support General Weaver, US against
Mr. G. Cleveland.
The fact that the leaders OF the PEG.
ple's party are clnging tenaClously to
the fdea that the election may be
thrown into the house, and are using it
as goad to keep the rank and file OF
the party from breaking loose and
drifting back into the old parties where
they originally belonged, is certainly
very good evidence that satisfactory
dicker has been made with Mr.. Cape
hart, and may also explain why the
Democrats could not build platform
to suit him, but had TO let him erect
ono OF his own.

sor Horsford. He himself has all faith
in his discoveries, but his attitude IS
that OF a person willing TO have any
mistakes or errors pointed out. de
has expended money in tho aCcumula-
ton OF a llne library Of Morse and carly
geographical literature, in erecting the
Morse lower and in publishing several
books with elaborate maps and pic
lures, besides many pamphlets. Two
important books are "Tho landau OF
Left Erikson" and "The Discovery Of
the Ancient City OF Norumbega."
The site OF Leifs house he locates on
the Charles river, short distance from
the contagious ward OF the Cambridge
hospital, in tho vicinity OF what has
long been known as Gerry's landing
There is little trace OF n landing now,
but the name still clings to 1t. The
present Lowell mansion, so long the
home Of the poet, was the old Gerry
house, and is not far away. There are,
besides the site OF Leif's house, traces
OF other houses, fish pits-depressions

come at high tide. being left as prey to
the Norsemen when the tide receded-
dams, canals, and n large amphitheater
in Belmont, near Mount Auburn GEM
etery, where can DO seen terraces that
were probably once seats for audiences
at great gatherings.
Just at present Professor Horsford is
very happy over the permission grant
ed to him by the city OF Cambridge to
erect fence around the site OF Leifs
house. He has bought much OF the
land containing tho relics, but this
could only be leased for ten years. The

Census Report of tho Work in n Famous
wOst Virginia District
WAsnrxGroN, D. G., August Sl.--The
Pocahontas Flat Top coal and coke field
of Virginia and West Virginia has been
Investigated by Joseph D. Weeks,
special agent, under tho direction OF
Frank r. Williams, expert special agent
in charge of the collection Of statistics
for the census bureau, The Pocahontas
district is q territory in which the in;
dustry has recently been developed
with an unusual degree OF success, due
to the fact that the coal peculiar to this
district possesses high coking quail
ties.
The average number OF persons re-
ported as employed in the Flat Top
coke works during the year 1889 was
$50, and the total amount Of wages re-
ported as paid was Sl49,727. The num-
Der OF cars OF coke shipped from the
Flat Top district by the various rail.
roads increased from S.G05 in 1887 to 90
SS3 in 1890. The notable feature in the
table giving the distribution OF these
shipments is the great increase shown
in shipments to points south OF Bristol,
Tenn, which augmented from l,215
cars in 1887 to 6,l27 cars in 1880 and
9,143 cars in 1900, evidencing the in
creasing demand made by the furnaces
at Chattanooga, Florence. Sheffield and
other points in Tennessee, Alabama
and the South for coke from this region.
The number OF coking ovens built
and in use in the Fat Top company's
districts has Increased from 200 in 1883
to !, 1888 in 1889, and 6Sl additional ovens
were then under construction. Tho
value OF the coke at the ovens increased
from $i4, 345 in 1888 to S542,2 in 1889:
The total capitalreported asemployed
in coke manufacture in the region in
1889 was only $744,576. This, however,
does not represent tho value OF the
leases nor the value Of the land held on
lease, royalty being paid by the oper-
ators on the coal mined. Assuming
the value OF the lease so far as coke OPP
erations are concerned, to be S45 per
acre, which value was estimated i'll the
report of one operator, the sum Of
S7S3, $40 for the l7,4lS acres OF leased
lands should be added to the capital re-
ported, making total capital of 81 ,52s,-
$3.50.
The immense coal field owned and
controlled by the Flat Top Coal Land
Association comprises total OF about
175 900 acres actual coal lands, not in

AIS acres were under lease to seventeen
