Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston, Aug. 24.-In respone To a
call recently issued by Postmaster
Burg for a general republican mass
meeting, there was a small gathering
al the court room yesterday afternoon
Whlch, IN a feeble way. started up the
old republican machine again. The call
stated that the purpose of the meeting
was 10 reorganiZe the republican party
IN Park county, which was a tacit ad-
mission that the party had become dis
organized. The meeting decided To call
a convention for Sept. % to elect dele
gates TO the state convention at Helena
Sept. "A. The primaries were set for
Sept. 10. two days ahead of the silver
republican caucuses. In advocating
That date. Mr.. Burg said il would he

sary To mention The knowing ones
say this is in line with one OF Tom
carriers schemes to win over a few
silver republicans by casting them a
sop by electing them as delegates 10
the goldbug convention. This plan will
not work according to the expectations
or the promoters of il. IL is scarcely
necessary to say. The apportionment
made viii max the convention a most
representative one If the party. for the
apportionment is based on one delegate
Tor every five votes cast for Mckinley
I' NbAt NdE NIAkl
Tor Mckinley. the apportionment of
delegates Will be made. The question
OF holding a county convention and
putting up a county ticket was tact
fully disposed Of by leaving the matter
open until after the holding of the
state convention.

by a jury in Justice Roses court to-
day for a violation Of the law in sell
ing meat without exhibiting the hide

premises at Aldridge by Deputy sheriff
Bellar revealed no hide. but a few DAYS
later Duret o the officer and showed
him a mutilated hide hanging where

made. The brand had evidently been

interesting Address by Prof. Mason
md Others

The two hundred and seventy-sixth reg
ular meeting of the Anthropological So
ciety of Washington was held in the As
sembly Hall of the Cosmos Club last
night at o'clock. After the reading of
the minutes of the preceding meeting, the
program for the evening was announced
and the first speaker Prof. Otis r. Mason,
was introduced His subject was Egypt
in America"
He said in part: The middle portions Of
America were conquered by the Spaniards
between 1892 and 1892. They brought
along not only the commanding classes,
but also thousands of common people and
their customs. From the fifteenth CEN
tury B. {. to the fifteenth century A. D.
the people Of Egypt and Northern Africa
came to Spain and constituted it's labor
ing classes. II was these and their de-
scendants that brought Egypt and Amer
lea Prof Mason described the method
these early settlers took to civilize the
new world. He maintained that the ciyili-
zation they found in some parts of the
country was better than that which they
sought to establish.
When Prof, Mason had finished Dr.
Thomas Wilson was introduced. He
spoke of the Mysterious Chamber and
the Magic Key being a collection of
traditions and folk lore on which the
story of Blue Beard was founded
Mr. Isaac c. Noyes followed DR.. Wilson
and delivered an interesting lecture on
the Peruvian mummy. During he course
of his remarks he said: In the disposition
of the body after death many different
forms have prevailed. Among many of the
ancient nations there was the doctrine of
Immortality of the soul and from what
We know of the Peruvian mummy ii is
quite evident that they, too. were believ-
ers in this most agreeable doctrine. The
Peruvians, while they did not try to pre-
serve the flesh after the manner of the
Egyptians nor treat ii with the contempt
of the PaTsees, they did preserve it in a
manner peculiar to themselves. In the
same form as was the body prior to birth
they would preserve it after death While
the Peruvian mummy is unique and quite
unlike the mummy of Egypt, and while
there is on certain lines a strong contrast
between them in other respects, strange
to say they are much alike, even if not
identical. We are glad that these an
cient nations SO widely separated and
having apparently no knowledge of each
other, still worked on lines very much
in common. The mummy answereth well
that longing OF the human race after i'm
mortality Even after many centuries it
is strangely and forcibly marked upon
their faces ana proves TO us that while
the body perishes the soul endureth
throughout all generations
The next meeting of the society will be
held Tuesday evening. April 10. The sub
jects to be discussed will be announced
