A HORRIBLE SIGHT.
Tive Lepers, One Dead ana One Living
Undertaken George Glover Has .
6hastly Experience.


Undertaken George Glover Has q
6hastly Experience.
Boise Statesman. July lo.l
George Glover, the undertaken who
was on Thursday summoned to Frank
Turner's ranch, about twelve miles up
the river, to inter the body OF George
Kavsoaugb, formerly prospector, re-
lates = horrible tale Of disease and
death.
The dead man and his partner.
Alexander McGaw, had long lived in
q rude dug-out on the Martin ranch !.
The dug>out faced the river, and it
afforded little o. no shelter from the
weather.
KavanauRh died from the effects of
a dreadful destroying disease, akin to
leprosy. A number of persons who
saw the man before and after death
declared that he had actually died Of
leprosy.
When Mr.. Glover entered the dug
out to secure the body of Kavanaugh
he was nearly overcome with nausea.
The corpse was lying upon a pile of
filthy blankets on one side of the
howell, while not FIVE feet away lay his
partner, McGaw.
The latter is afflicted with the same
awful malady that caused Kavanaugh's
death, and at the time of the under.
takers visit he was SO nearly dead
himself that he could move only his
toes and his hands, and this with great
effort.
His head, arms and other portions
of his body were literally raw, his
blear eyes we've sunken, and the
stamp of death was upon his scared
brow. McGaw's body was literally
decomposing while he still lived.
The corpse OF Kavanaugh was even
more horrible in appearance than was
tho body OF the breathing McGaw,
but over him the sacred veil of death
has been kindly thrown. His BODY
was buried close beside the rushing
stream.
McGaw, whose body was terribly
bloated, his feet and his hands being
four times their natural size, rallied
bitterly at his dead partner, who, he
said was responsible for their terrible
fate. He said they had been dying
by inches for months, and that they
had suffered intensely. He refused
to say where he and his partner had
the fatal disorder.
MIR. Glover suggested that he ought
to be sent to the poor farm, where
upon McGaw became highly excited.
He said he had always lived like
prince, had been fast man, and be-
fore he would go to the pauper home
he would crawl down to the river and
drown himself.
McGav cannot recover. His end
IS not far away. A man named
Myers will attend him until death
terminates his suffering.
Mr.. Glover said that the effluvium
xhaled by the decaying body Of Nc
Saw and the corpse of Kavanaugh
was almost overpowering. 1t could
De detected by a person standing
twenty feet from the dug>out. The
loor of the den, he said, was covered
with blood and filth and vermin. In
al his previous experiences as an un-
lertaker he had never encountered
'uch horrifying sight.
About a month ago a man was
passing the deadly dug out and the
.arful odor prompted him to look
within. He saw McGaw and Kava-
,augh lying upon their filthy pallets,
md he fled in alright. declaring that
he had seen two purifying corpses.
Mr.. Glover took two caskets and went
'ut there to barry the supposedly dead
bodies, but he found the men were
till alive.

Odd specimens of English and Pc

history recently published In one of
the Middle states we quote some ex.
amples of an English style that would

editor, and then had had the further
advantage of proof-reader who knew

laid out public highways, as of the
present day; but foot-paths, marked by
blazed trees to guide the weary trav-
eller through the dense forests, which
more or less of them has became ex-

"Of all animals, the panther was the
most treacherous animal that the set
tiers had to contend with; for they
would lie crouched in the bushes, and
there wait in suspense for their VIC

day he grew communicative and talked
rather pompously to the exchange
editor He prated of his past achieve
ments as newspaper man IN other
cities. He had cheerful way of talk
ing, in voice that was high but not
loud. His undaunted manner of utter
ing self-praise caused the exchange
editor to wink at the editorial writer.
1t engendered, too, small degree of
dislike on the parts of these worthless;
and the exchange editor made 1t a
point to watch for some of the new
mans work in the paper, that he might
be certain whether the new mans abil-
ity was equal to the new mans opinion
of it.
The exchange editor found that it
was not. The new man had been in the
Office four days before any of his con-
tributions had gone through the process
of creation, acceptance and publication.
Some verses and some alleged Jokes
were his first matter printed. They
were below mediocrity. The exchange
editor ceased to dislike the whiskered
man and thereafter regarded him as
quite harmless and mildly amusing.
This view of him was eventually &C
cepted by every one who came to know
him; and he was made the object of a
good deal of gentle chatting.
He earned probably SIS or $50 week
at space rates, lamentably small
amount for so intellectual looking a
man, but very large amount consider
ing the quality Of work turned out by
him.

nearly as much, had not the managing

Through sunrise and sunset returning,

Like leaves Of the autumn time blowing
Away and away;
Floating of from my shadow love-tepded,
Returning, the weary day ended,
On gladness to stay
Ireach out my shadowy finger
Where the lad on the hill turns to linger
To bid me good-by;
And when the red sunset is burning,
watch for his somber returning,
And beckon him nigh.

Till the valley mist darkens its simmer,
Fair, vanishing rose;
And then-but o little tomorrow,
And, clad in the garments of sorrow,

The spade and the mattock keep tally

Capsizing Vessels.

The recent capsizing of vessel tied
up to pier in Brooklyn is sufficiently
unusual in this port to excite comment,
but it is common enough at ports along
the Bay of Fundy and its tributary
streams. The usual rise and fall of the
tide along the bay is from forty to fifty
feetand high tide sometimes exceed six
ty feet. With the fall of the tide all craft
are left high, but by no means dry,
with an area of chocolate-colored mud
all about them. This mud is too shift
ing to hold vessel in safety, so each
pier is provided with one or more strong
wood frames called shoes fixed ut the
bottom of the stream or bay. Upon
these shoes all vessels rest at low tide.
1t frequently happens, however, that a
vessel does not get her shoe snugly on,
SO to speak, and If a strong wind comes
when she is thus i'll balanced over she
goes into the mud to be buried forty feet
under the next rising tide. Y. Sun.

PALACE OF THE GRAND LAMA.
1t Is Reached by Five Ladders and Holds
a Hugo Idol.


1t Is Reached by Five Ladders and Holds
Huge Idol.
Potala, precipitous in many places
rises within the confines of the outer
city of Lhasa, in the northwestern
quarter. 1t is heaped up in the most
fantastic style with halls and stored
temples and monster tombs; but on
looking up from the foot of these
heights the whole series seems con-
joined into one vast structure, sur
mounted by five gold-plated, rectangu-
lar domes of great size.
The chief erection is the P'o-dang
Marpo, or Red Palace" building
carried up to the height of eleven
stories, and which is assembled from
story to story by means of wooden lad
ders with broad but difficult steps, This
is the central edifice round which the
others climb and cluster. The lower
stories are built against the sheer face
of the ACTIVITY.
After passing up steep path avenued
by trees you arrive at the principal or
eastern doorway of the whole estab-
lishment Here first is long hall, up
which you may ride on pony back if you
choose. The hall is garnished on either
hand by long rows of massive prayer
cylinders, which, placed like barrels on
end on well-oiled pivots, can easily be
made to revolve with touch as you
pass along.
Each barrel has within it, wound
compactly on the iron axle passing from
top to bottom, innumerable lengths of
paper, on which has been stamped
many thousands of times the we'll
known formula: Zone Mani Padme
Hum" the special invocation to the
Bodhisattwa Cheuraisi, and therefore to
the Grand Lama, who visibly imperson-
ates him. At the end of the hall are
broad stone steps, which mount to a
paved landing where stands an obelisk.
You are now again in the open air, and
two long flights of steps, hemmed in by
the outer walls of other buildings,
ascend up the face of the hill to the
ground floor of the Red Palace.
Thence the ladder-climbing COM

the other, have to be scaled, passing up
through dark and mysterious vaults

passages conducting who shall know

sal proportions that it passes up through

to be about seventy feet high. When
