Alexander's Death Mask.

When Hamlet said that Alexander died, Alexander was buried, Alexander returneth to dust, he overlooked the fact that Alexander's dust, instead of being converted into loam to stop beer barrel, was preserved from corruption by the process of embalming and from external injury by being cased in the most precious of metals. Pettigrew, in his History of Egyptian Mummies, "s says of the death mask of Alexander that ''it was sort of chase work, and of such a nature that it could be applied so closely to the skin as to preserve not only the form of the body, but also to give the expression of the features to the coun- tenance."
 He does not quote his authority for this statement, but it is unquestionably derived from the account of the death and burial of Alexander written by Diodorus Siculus, who said: And first coffin of beaten gold was provided. so wrought by the hammer as to answer to the proportions of the body. It was half filled with aromatic spices, which served as well to delight the sense as to prevent the body from putrefaction." Then fol lows a description of the funeral chariot, and of the long line of march from Babylon to Alexandria, where Augustus Caesar saw the tomb 300 years later, but there is no reference to mask of Alex anders face in gold.-Laurence Hutton iu Harpsr's.

Nice Points in Laundrying.

The sun is great restorer and yivi- fer, but it should not be allowed to shine on either feather pillows or under linen that is to be worn again. These are best aired in the shade. You may sun the sheets from off the bed, but not the nightdresses. It will play havoc also with the delicate mauve muslins which have been such fayorites this summer, and permanently pale all light blues and rose colored cottons. These must be dried in the shade. Some lauudresses will perhaps not under stand this without repeated and weekly directiops. Bathing suits and white clothes can have as much of the sun on the clothesline as possible, but white fiannels, if you would not have them yellow, must be hung on the shady side of the garden, In city yards there is al- ways time of day when there is shade somewhere; in the broader bleaching grounds of country houses you will often have to stretch the lines in the shadow of house or under tree to se- cure this.

TO REMOVE MRS. HARRISON.
The Distinguished Sufferer We'll Enough
 to He Taken Co Washington.


 LOON LAKE, N. I. Sept 20.--Mrs, Harrison will, unless unfavorable symptoms return, start on her journey back to Washington today. The train bearing the invalid will be due in Washington Wednesday morn ing. From the time the complications that SO seriously threatened her life began Mrs. Harrison has expressed strong desire to be taken back to Washington, and as each day made her surroundings more and more monotonous this desire grew intensely. Her pleadings distressed the presldent and his family very much. The budding of new strength made Mrs. Harrison more earnest in her wish.
 Dr. Gardner shook his head and said that removal at this time would be attended with great risk. He admitted, however, that the change of location and the grant ing of the wishes of Mrs. Harrison might have beneficial result, but declined to take the responsibility of allowing her to go.
 The presidents family finally decided to risk the removal if the doctors thought Mrs. Harrison would, in her present condi- tion, be in any way equal to the journey. Drs Gardner and Trudeau held another consultation and agreed that there was no more favorable time for q removal lt was decided not to inform Mrs. Harrison till the last moment so that if anything oc. cured to prevent the journey she would not suffer disappointment and possible ralanaa

COMMISSIONER PECK ARRESTED.
He Is Accused of Burning the Originals
 of His Report.

of His Report.
 ALBANY, Sept. 17.--Warrants have been issued for the arrest of Charles F. Peck, the commissioner of the bureau of labor statis- tics, and for his stenographer, Ebert Rog- CTS, charging them with destroying public documents, which is punishable by impris- onment for not more than five years nor less than one. The warrants were issued by Judge Gutmann on the applications of District Attorney Eaton and ex-Senator Norton Chase. The warrants were served last night Mir Peck told a United Press representative that he anticipated this step.
 The interview with the committee ap- pointed by the Democratic general commit tee to examine into the figures of the re- port was one of the most stormy ever held in any public office in the history of the capitol The committee, consisting of Nell son Smith, k. Ellery Anderson, J. Schoe- nof and K. F. McSweeney, presented set of questions asking for proof of each of the assertions contained in the summary of the report.
 Mir. Peck ref lsed to allow them to see the reports, claiming that he had pledged his word of honor that they should not be shown, but they might look at the tables of figures which were then in the office. He refused to recognize Mir. Anderson, and when that gentleman spoke he turned his back and placed his fingers in his ears At one point of the interview Mir. Anderson called him an "impudent pup,n and Mir. Peck said he took it whence it came At the close of the interview the gentlemen of the committee made a hurried inspection of a number of the tables.
 Mir. Peck says he will rot in jail before he allows any of them to see the reports. He was interviewed us to his idea of the situa- tion, and said that he considered it the cul- imitation of the fight between the mug wumps and anti-Hill men against Senator Hill and his friends, and that it was all they could expect in the future. Judge Gutmann is quoted as saying that the prosecution have the charred remains of the reports,
 It is charged that the documents were consumed on Sunday night by Janitor Den nison for two dollars. The papers were taken from the capitol to Mir. Peck's house in an express wagon last week. Albert Rogers, a clerk in Mir. Peck's office, made the contract with Dennison to burn "a lot of papers that Mir. Peck did not want any lonuerh

TIE G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
1he old Veterans Put the Capital in
 MhIrl of Excitement.


 WASHINGTON, Sept 2O.--The city is in a perfect vortex of excitement over the Grand Army encampment, and the bright uniforms, the blaze of colors, the music of numerous bands and the jostling good natured throngs to be found everywhere only serve to add spice to the effervescent scene. Some idea of the crowds brought to the city may be gained from a knowledge of the fact that the train on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad was run in twenty seven sections, some sections comprising fourteen coaches.
 The Mary Logan cadets gave a brilliant drill after the dedication services at Grand Army place, in Grant tent, and Eberley's band serenaded Governor Futile, of New Hampshire, at the Riggs House. The gov ernor responded from the balcony.
 The council of administration of the ma. tional encampment held meeting, which was largely attended. The accounts oi Adjutant General Phisterer were exam ined and approved, and the action of Com mander in Chief Palmer in the matter oi the color line between posts in Louisiana and Mississippi indorsed The color line question is likely to come up again in the national encampment. ContestinR delega tions based upon that were considered at u meeting of the committee on credentials held subsequent to the adjournment of tn, council of administration. The committe, voted to recommend the seating of dele gates in accordance with the action of tn, Detroit encampment and of Commander il Chief Palmer.
 The active struggle for the post of com mander in chief began today. There ar, four candidates-B. H. Warfield, of Cali fornia; Charles P. Lincoln, of the Depart ment of the Potomac; A. c. Weissert, o the Department of Wisconsin, and s. H Hearst, of the Department of Ohio.
 The indications now are: For commandel in chief, c. P. Lincoln, Potomac; for seniol vice commander in chief, J. s. Clarkson Nebraska; for junior vice commander il chief, Edgar Allen, Virginia; and tn, theory that only senior vice must fall tt the department wherein an encampment i held may be now exploded,
 It was demonstrated today that Indian apolis is not to have the next national en campment without fight, Lincoln, Neb. which was an aspirant at Detroit last year will contest for the honor.
 A movement is on foot and is said to b, practically concluded to settle the differ ences between the different organization of the Women's Relief corps Mutual con sessions are said to have been made, anC Miss Clara Barton will in all likelihood b, the first president of a reunited and reor ganized corps.

They whose hearts are whole and strong Loving holiness, Living clean from soil of wrong,
 Wearing truths white dress They unto no far off height
 Wearily need climb; Heaven to them is close in sight
 From these shores of time. Only the anointed eye
 Sees in common things, Clean of wave and tint of sky,
 Heavenly blossomings. To the hearts where light has birth @ Nothing can be drear; Budding through the bloom of earth,
 Heaven is always near. Lucy Larcom in Boston Woman's Journal.

JAMES G. BLAINE.

All hail to our chief from the Pine Tree State!
Peer OF the noblest among the great.
The Peoples leader from sea to main
Is the Civic Chieftian, James a. Blaine;
Who never turned his back to the foe,
And dealt to Secession blow for blow;
Whose clarion voice War could not drown
Till Rebellions Stars and Bars'' went down.
He's the Coming Man, and the People claim
A right to the use of his magic name
The Leader is here, and the hour draws nigh
When his star will rise in our Western sky;
He has earned his fame, and, deny who can,
He is type of the grandest American
Holding his Country's banner to be
The noblest ensign that sweeps the sea-
From the rugged shores of the Pine Tree State
To the shining sands of the Golden Gate;
From the mountain homes Of the land of Penn,
From each wind-swept hill and sunny glen,
To the rocky cliffs that frown upon
The wave-washed shores of Oregon,
The People are calling, and not in vain
For their chosen Leader, James G. Blaine!
Then hail to the Leader whose name would be
From lake to gulf and from sea to seq,
To the Party of Progress it's guiding star,
Like the snow-white plume of the bold Navarro
Whose hand would lead to the glorious prize
Where the golden crown of Victory lies,
And grasp, when the tumult and strife are done
The scepter of Power ut Washington

a PROMINENT gentleman of Mime

as good a Republican as there is in
Minnesota, but don't have to vote for

nated.' Many others hold the same
oplnlon.-Anoka Union.
: Ut course, the prominent Fed
eral pap-suckers are against Mel

are only an infnitesimal minority
OF the Republican party of Mime
sofa. Knute Nelson neither asks
nor expects any favors from the
office-holding oligarchy. His
strength is with the common peo-
PIE OF the State, and not with the
Goodnows, the Hays, and the rest
OF the slllk-stocking Hoosier gang
OF short-horns who can trace their
pedigree back to the antediluvian
period.

BLAINE is not candidate. He
meant every word he wrote in his
letter to Mr.. Clarkson last Febru-
airy. Yet he may be the nominee
OF the Minneapolis convention.
The Minnesota delegate that votes
for Blaine will vote for man that
can be elected, will vote as ninety
nine out of every one hundred Re.
publicans Of the State would wish
him to vote. The PS0qaeer Press
and the Minneapolis Tribune do
not represent the sentiments Of the
Republicans of Minnesota. These
great metropolitan journals, ,by
systematic Misrepresentation, are
fast rendering it impossible, for
any seH-respecting delegate who is
friendly to Blaine to vote for Har-
rison. Some men can be coaxed
but they cannot be driven. We
still adhere to the opinion that.
with Harrison as the Republican
standard-bearer even Minnesota Is

against him. The Republican can
didate for congress in the Sixth

antagonistic to the interests of the

ties are that the bitter fight be-

necessitate the selection of a man
