A "Petrifed Woman" Investigated by
the Geological Survey.

Nhc "cOIOShcaA survey
When the owner of the ''petrified woman
arrived in this city last week. after a truly
triumphant campaign through the country.
he sent an invitation to Maj. Powell to test
it's genuineness. offering to assist the investi-
cation in every way. At the same time
he exhibited on his walls fifty yards of
testimonials from thousands of prominent
rifaction.'' including the names Of a thou
sand physicians and the entire faculty of
several colleges in Ohio, Illinois and Vir-
ginia.
In acceptance Of his invitation some fif-
teen or twenty members of the geological
survey and chronological bureau assembled
yesterday at the rooms where the stone
woman, weighing $50 pounds, was laid out
owner gave every facility. The petrifled
woman was turned over on her face on the
floor, and a stone auger was applied to her
left leg, just above the knee. An ample
core was taken out. and the material was
declared by the scientists present to be
Portland cement. The biologists and chem
lists were satisfied that the exhibit was
ably made from a living woman
In this connection 1t may be added that
somebody in California seems to have the
petrifaction habit in a most dangerous
form, for another "petrifa ction" is on show
In the south. and the last ST. Louis papers
contain the announcement of another SINH
lar find in Missouri-a nude man, six feet
three inches high. The striking popularity
of this Washington case next to the accu-
racy and delicacy of the cast ITSELF is the
large number of physicians and distinguish
ed men who have been fooled by 1t.

AN EXPLANATION
DUE THE PUBLIC.

In continuing the s. rate for diseases of the
nose and throat feel that an explanation is due
the public. for when we announced that the rate
would cease Oct. 20 it was fully our intention 70
to do, but owing to the numerous requests for
an extension that poured I'm upon us The last few
days from people still out of the city, those leav-
ing the city for q while and others. who. owing to
the financial stringency, were unprepGred 20 take
treatment now. We have decided to grant one
more extension, and in doing 50 to give all ample
opportunity to take advantage OF the low rate
therefore. WE HAVE EXTENDED THE IS RATE
TO NOV. INCLUSIVE. WHEN 1T WILL rOsI-
lively CEASE, unless more patients should de-
sire treatment than receive thorough atten-
ton. in which event it will close soDner.

Last evening Mr.. VIM. McCabe of Cali
fornia and editor of the National Union
Printer addressed a gathering of Washing
ton printers and their friends at Typo
graphical Temple upon the subject of the
condition Of the trade throughout the coun-

be very bad. indeed, and looked for no i'm
provement in the condition of printers or.
in fact. in that of any other wage earners
until some radical change took place in
social conditions. The greatest hope lay in
the adoption of the single tax, and a large
part Of his talk was devoted to an explana-
ton of the workings of Henry George
