man fell sick and was obliged to
return home. The doctor contin-
ued his journey, reached the coast
in safety and embarked upon a
| vessel bound for the island. But
on board he too was taken i'll and
died just before reaching land or
Immediately after. He was buried
on the west coast Of Cuba.
Long distances were not so
easily covered then as now and the
chest left in care of the Mexican
nob1eman was never claimed by
any of the doctors relatives or
friends. In fact it is probable that
no one had more right to it than
the man in whose possession it
was left. 1t contained the death
mask, ca ase of surgical instru-
ments and some medical books,
the former being left behind to
avoid damage during the rough
journey over the mountains. So
while the Napoleonic craze ebbed
and flowed, this one relic Of the
great nation wrecker rested quietly
and obscurely in the western
world.
About four years ago General 0.
0. Howard made a tour of the
south for an inspection Of the forts
in that part Of the country. With
him, in his private car, were his
wife, his son, Captain sGuy How
ard, and his wife, formerly Miss
Woolworth, and several friends.
After completing his inspection of
the southern forts General Howard
decided to run over into old Mex
leo and while there in the city OF
Mexico the party became acquaint-
ed with a Scotch physician, DR..
Nc Janus, who proved to be the
son-in-law+of the nob1eman who
entertained DR.. Antoine march,
during his visit to that country
sixty years before.
To him had descended the death
mask and it was shown to Captain
| Howard, of whom the doctor be-
came very fond. The Scotch doc
tor was then advanced in years,
and, feeling that if the mask re-
manned in Mexico it might not be
treasured as carefully as carefully
as it should after his death, gave
it to Captain Howard. When the
party returned to the states the new
owner kept it at his own home in
Burlington, Ia, for a time, then.
knowing the uncertainty of long
continued stay in one place for an
army officer and the consequen,
insecurity of the valuable relic, sent
it to Judge Woolworth, in whose
possession it has remained.
The mask is of bronze and diff

The Missing Death Mask of Napoleon

The Missing Death Mask of Napoleon
To The Progress.
Omaha, May, 1897. The depart
ment of fine arts of the TRANSMITS
sissippi exposition is to be enrich
ed by the exhibition of a death
mask of Napoleon. This mask is
now in the possession of Judge j.
M. Woodwork, an eminent attor-
ney of Omaha. Its genuineness is
beyond question. 1t is worth its
weight in gold.
History recites that upon the
death Of Napoleon five death masks
were made, but for a period of
sixty years-1S33 to 1S93-one of
the masks was missing. How this
one came into possession of
Omaha's distinguished citizen is
told by the following interesting
story, the authenticity of which
cannot be questioned.
Half an hour after the exiled
monarch breathed his last, DR..
Antoine March,, his physician and
friend, made a plaster cast of his
features. This death mask was
taken by him to Paris and there
five bronze masks was made from
it. The location of four of these
has been known to the world from
that date to the present time, but
one of them disappeared myster-
ieasly and for over half a century
was lost to-.the world at large.
Four years ago it was discovered
in the city of Mexico by Captain
Guy Howard, a son of General o.
o. Howard, and its history is an
interesting one.
The missing mask was kept by
the man who had the most right to
it, the physician who made the
cast from the face of his dead
friend and when he left France ne
carried it with him. In the year
1884 he sailed from Cuba to Mexico
and bore the precious memento
with him. In Mexico he was the
guest of a-nobleman who was an
ardent admirer of the Corsican
warrior and the two passed the
winter of .,34-5 together. When
spring arrived and the doctor be-
gan to make arrangements for his
return to Cuba, twas found neces-
sary to leave a large chest behind
at the nobleman's home, as part OF
the journey was to be made on
mules. The doctor and the noble
man set out together for Yucatan
where the former was to sail for
