the Indianapolis News The bones we're

unearthed by iaborers while digging
a trench They were found n depth
OF about four feet. and from their size
were believed TO be the bones OF man
An Investigation was begun. shich re-
suited In unrsVeiing the mystery. Mrs
Elizabeth Lowry. an aged resident Of
Walton. relates a story which estsb-
fishes Seyond a doubt the belief that
the remains were those OF William
Bartlett. an old and trusted servant Of
Cen. John Upton About nfty years
ago Mrs. Lowry was member of Gen.
Tipton's family. at which time ~old
Bartlett was the mos; valued servant

Bartlett was taken seriously III. The
general left instructions that he be
buried in the yard. in case OF death.
and upon his return the body would
be intaTred In a suitable location.
Bartlett died and was buried near ths
Upton homestead. when the general
returned he was seized with sickness
and died without removing Bartlett's
body. When the latter was buried
large stone was encountered in digging
the grave. and the fact that the skele-

at depth OF only three feet is taken
as conclusive evidence that the remains

 from Beardstown, H.. to Kansas City, Mo-, as reported in a dispatch from the last named place.
 A circular was issued this morning by J. P. Morgan & Co., Drexel & Co. of Philadelphia and J. s. Morgan of London. calling for the second installment of the assessment upon the stock and bonds of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail- road company as fixed in the plan of reorganization. The second installment, being one-quarter of the entire assess ment amounts to $50 per 5000 bond on first, second and third preference income bonds; $2.50 per share on the stock and $10 per 5000 bond in deferred income bonds. This installment Is payable June 15. The reorganization committee, on account of the monetary disturbances existing in the early part of the year, exercised leniency with regard to the calling of the assessment. It is believed that the subsequent calls to complete full payment will not be long deferred, as the committee has secured decree of foreclosure, and 1t will be to the advan- tage of all concerned to have the re- organization completed as speedily as possible.

ance of the Sabbath.
 5aratoga. N Y May 22.-The general assembly began business promptly this morning at 9:30 o'clock after the usual devotional exercises of half an hour Moderator Withrow was in the chair. The most important matter of the day was the announcement of the standing com mittees, which he made up last night in a long conference with the stated ana permanent clerks of the assembly. Dr. Booth, as retiring moderator. is at the head of the bills and overtures committee, with Dr. Agnew of Philadelphia as the second man. Dr. Agnew, on account Of Dr. Booths indisposition, Will perform the duties of chairman.sf asssse
 Dr. Breed, the leading candidate of the opposition, should stand at the head or the judicial committee, the second In lm- portanee in the assembly, but as some cases before this committee come from Dr. Breeds locality, he is placed at the head of the theological seminary com mittee.
 Dr. Montfort, third man in the contest for moderator is named as chairman or the judicial committee. pr. DAVIS, me nominator of pr. WithroW, is put down as chairman of the committee on church polity.
 In presenting the report of the Sabbath observance committee, Chairman Norrell referred to the chief perils of Sunday op- servance, such as the greed or gain, which compels thousands against thelr will to work on the Lords day; the dis semination of theories concerning 1ndi- vidual liberty and social ofuer, Whlcn are destructive of our best national traol- tons; Sunday excursions, Sunday base- ball games, Sunday theaters ana Suhoay bicycle pleasure riding, etc. The re- port entreats members and all other per sons to conscientiously discountenance whatever tends to break down the dls- tinction between these and other days' as, for instance, Sunday trading, buying, reading or in any way supporting Suh- day secular newspaper; social entertain ments and visitations that dissipate sun day thought and all sorts of indulgence of the Lords day that tend to unflt TOT Gods worship and to impoVerlsh their spiritual natures. And we raise our voices against the desecration or tne oap- bath day by the opening of theaters an this day and call upon our ministers, members and all good citizens to seek the stay of this great curse.
 pr. Frederick of Baltimore, from the committee on church temperatures, fe- ported a recommendation to change the form of government of the Presoyteriah church in the clause relating to deacons. At present church trustees may be per sons not members of the ehurcn, ana ih consequence a conflict sometimes occurs between elders and trustees. The pro- posed cndnSe SiNtS tHc trol of the church temporalities to dea- cons instead of to trustees and requires that deacons shall be elected from the communicants of the church.

TACKS
Made in Great Variety and for Many Differ
 ent Uses.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
 The best tacks are made of imported Swedish iron; the next grade of American soft steel, and the cheapest of common American iron. Tacks are also made of copper Some tacks are timed, and for ship use tacks are galvanized. Tacks are made of sizes ranging from half-ounce to twenty-four-ounce. The tack commonly used as carpet tack is an elght-ounce tack. twenty-four-ounce tack Is about 11s inches in length.
 There are many kinds of tacks, made for great variety of uses, and they are put up In many different forms. There are gimp tacks, looking like glass tacks; upholstererS tacks, trunk tacks, lace tacks, basket tacks, brush tacks, coffin tacks, shank tacks. lasting tacks miners Jacks. cheese box tacks and tacks for many other uses. Within the past dozen years the sale of double-pointed tacks has increased ten-fold with the greatly increased use of electrical wires. Double pointed tacks are also used for tacking down straw ma tting and for other pur- poses.
 Tacks that are sold In papers are put up in full weights. half weights and quar- ter weights, the weights indicating the size of the package. Almost all kinds of tacks are also sold in bulk in twenty-five pound and fifty pound boxes and in 100 pound kegs.
 A one-ounce tack machine will make in a day about 900 taclss altogether. The iron Is fed into the machine in a plate which is of width little greater than the length of the finished tack so as to allow of material to be upset for the head. An eight-ounce machine will make about POO pounds of tacks a day, 1250 to the pound-about 250,000 tacks. Tacks that are put up in papers are weighed out and the papers filled by hand. Comparatively few tacks are put up nowadays in tied-up papers; they are put up mostly in little pasteboard boxes. These boxes are packed In larger boxes and in turn in cases for shipment. A common tack pack age is case weighing about 100 pounds.
 The annual tack product of tlie country Is estimated at about 20,0Q0.000 tons. If these tacks were all put up in papers of weights the papers would number about 3OO.000,OOO or something more than four papers per capita of the population.

Is Believed by Physicians to Be the Best
 Climate for Consumption.
 Philadelphia Record.
 In a paper read by Dr. Swope before the Kentucky Medical society recently, he summarizes the accepted points in the treatment of this disease, namely, a dry climate, having maximum number Of fair days and minimum humidity, with slight range of temperature, moderate degree of high altitude, and ample facili- ties for outdoor life. Among the data made by Dr. Swope in this connection Is that of permanent or even long-con- tinued residence. Florida is unsuited for such patients, the low altitude, the humidity and the heat of the summer rendering this region almost untenable during the summer months; nor does North Carolina, with her pineries, fully meet the requirement., for her most noted resort. Asheville, has an altitude of only 225O feet, while her temperature ranges from 100 degrees to below zero.
 Both research and experience have led to the conclusion that southern New Mexico comes nearer to fulfilling what IS required for the Advantageous treatment of pulmonary diseases, and especially to be mentioned Is. the high plateau south east of Silver City, partly across Whlch runs the little mountain stream Mem bres. until 1t loses itself in the dry, san dy plains. This plateau, about 45O0 to soo0 feet in altitude, about fifty miles long and forty wide, is sheltered on every side by high mountain ranges and peaks, has constant winds from the northwest and west, its maximum temperature IS SO degrees. and here an invalid may be out of doors 330 days in the year.

 The advantage of friction Is not only that 1t assists in cleansing the skin but excites the cutaneous circulation. have seen many and many a freckied face, scrubbed and rubbed clear of all stains without other aids, but there are many simple remedies which will hasten the cure. The most effective of these, to be used in connection with the scrubbing and dry friction, are a cream of pom ade to use at night, just before retiring, and A wash to be used during the day. The cream Is made as follows
 Cream fossati-Lanoline grammes; sweet almond oil, grammes; sulphur, precipitated, 5 grammes; oxide or zinc, 2H grammes; violet extract, K gramme.

 This pomade is easily absorbed by the skin. and Is excellent, not only in the treatment of freckles, but also for any of the lighter skin eruptions, which fre- ouently annoy girls between the ages of IA and IS. In the morning wash the ointment carefully out of the skin and apply the following lotion. Repeat the application of the lotion several times during the day: s&.

 The report was subsequently agreed to In the senate without objection, and will come up in the house tomorrow. The en- rolling clerk of the house has the whole bill, with the exception of this item, en- rolled, and an effort win be made to get the bill to the president tomorrow. He will then have ten full days-Sunday and the day he gets it not counted-in which to consider the measure. He can then either approve it or permit it to become a law without his signature. A veto must come within the constitutional limit of ten days This period elapses at midnight on the night of June 4. A veto before that time is confidently expected.
