No regular burying place has yet

isolated tombs have been explored, says
the Century. The location Of these
was very strange and unexpected
meath the pavement OF courtyards and
under the foundations Of houses.
They consist )f small chambers Of very
excellent masonry. rooted sometimes
by means OF the horizontal arch, and
sometimes by means OF slabs OF store
resting on the top Of the vertical walls.
In these tombs one. sometimes two. in

one fact of surprising interest came to
light concerning their private lives
namely, the custom OF adjoining the
front teeth with gems inlald In the en-
amel, and by filling. Although not all
OF the sets OF teeth found had been
treated in this way. there are enough
to show that the practice was general,
at least among the upper classes; for

Although Frances Elizabeth Willard
was 60 years Of age when death over
took her she had not lived to the aver
age of men and women who manifest
such intense vitality and will-power as
she possessed. Her life was one OF
arduous self-sacrifice and Of constant
activity, and had she not neglected her
self when first taken Ill she might have
been spared for many more years OF
usefulness. Travelling constantly. even
when i'll. she did not appreciate the in
roads disease was making.
The work which engaged her entire
life was one Of the noblest in which a
woman could be engaged, and her
methods were characterized by an in
telligence not always found among the
people animated by an intense zeal The
movement in favor of temperance was
urged upon moral lines. This sensible
woman learned from an early expert
ence that It was a hopeless task to keep
men from intemperance by legislative
enactment, and she exerted herself to
the end of enlisting women to her side.
She took the most efficacious means
that have ever been known TO raise the
social tone A hundred years ago in
temperance was much more general
than 1t Is now and it was not consid
cred a social offense for man to drink
to excess. The license which was per-
mitted men by women only served to
aggravate the evil until it became in
tolerable and women refused to admit
to the drawing room circle men who
had been Incorporate In their wine at
the banquet table. Then the reaction
commenced.
Miss Willard devoted her attention to
cultivating this disposition. She real

FROM MIR. JOHN COLLINS.

Seattle Feb. IS, 1898.
To the Editor: In your article In yes
terday's issue of the Post-Intelligencer,
under the heading, collins Causes Stir"
you state that oyertures were made 10
the chamber, and it is said that the prop
osition came from Mr. Collins himself
that the chamber move into his new build
ing at James street and Second avenue"
This / emphaticaliy deny. A representa-
tive Of the committee appointed for the
purpose of securing new quarters made a
proposition to my agent To take the pres
ent quarters now occupied by the cham
Der, at the price that they were paying,
which was $40 per month, including heat.
1t was further stated by the representa-
tive of the committee that II it was posi-
bic for me TO grant them one months rent
for moving expenses it would be mora
fayorably acted upon, for the reason that
che or two of the committee were very
much opposed 10 moving into the Collins
block
Your article further states that finally.
after several meetings and much dis
cussion pro and con. the chamber decided
To move into Mr.. Collins building" /
desire 10 state that myself or agent did
not attend any OF the meetings Of the com
mittee and If any very alluring argu-
ments' were made 1t was done by some
person or persons unheknown 10 myself
or agent.
The facts remain, nevertheless. that the
chamber did accept the proposition as
above stated and moved into their present
quarters on March /. 1897. and received
one months rent free and continued to
pay so per month to October J. 1897 On
September l. 1897, notice was served on
the chamber that the rent would be $50
per month from and after October I, 1897.
Mr. E Ling. secretary of the chamber,
consulted with IRE about the raise Of rent.
and l agreed to let the chamber have the
same space at $50 per month to March /,
1888. at which time they were 10 vacate
or pay more rent. On the sth inst no
tice was served on the chamber to vaca:e
by March !, 1898
few days ago Mr.. Ling called at my
office and asked about the changing Of
the space occupied by them and my agent
told him what / intended 20 do in the mat
ter. and stated that II the chamber de-
sired 70 occupy a certain space, about 3sx
IS feet. az $50 per month. that he would
reserve the same for them to which Mr.
Ling replied that he would let him fths
aEenD know on tho following Wednesday
This Is all that know about the matter.
ard am willing 10 place the above facts
before the public and let them Judge
whether any very alluriug arguments
were made or whether the committee
which was composed Of men Of known
business qualifications and integrity
showed Cess discretion than Il usually
shows In matters Of business"

CHANCE TO WIN THROWN AWAY.



Seattle Evening Times. February IS.
Up to this moment the conference COM
raittee. chosen by the Silver Republicans.
Democrats and Populists in convention as
semhled for the purpose OF nominating
candidates for municipal ofices-such com
nittee. consisting o. nine from each con-
vention. or twenty-seven in all-have been
unable 10 agree upon line Of policy.
The causes of this disagreement arise
almost exclusively from the fact that the
Populists demand the mayoralty, while
the Silver Republicans and Democrats do
not believe that any man whom the popu-
lists nigh, name could be elected-and vic
tory with good candidate IS what the
Silver Republicans and Democrats want,
and not defeat.
The Democrats are willing to concede the
nayoralty TO the Silver Republicans, who
would put up Judge Austin in minute
il they had a chance-and Judge Austin
can be elecsed-for IS per cent. Of the Pop
ulists would vote for him. while perhaps
that number would not vote for a Demo-
crat.
1t viii be a source of regret 10 be re-
membered for years If the Populists de-
nand for the chief official place shall re-
suit in no fusion" This is precisely what
the Republicans desire TO occur. and they
are pushing that sentiment for all II is
worth among the weak kneed of all par
ties.
Tla-uaN-afS XII RI a
Popuist-and in turn the Populists will
not support a Democrat-why not har-
monize by nominating Judge Austin and
sweeping the boards clear?" Austin can
carry a thousand Republican votes and be
elected against any man whom the gold
bugs can put UP.
Think of this carefully. gentlemen. be-
fore yoG throw away your only oppor-
tunity TO win a victory.

from the confused reports. the source
Of the explosion was in another part Of

have been a succession of detonations.
Explosion from coal gases occurs only
after steadily and constantly rising

from this source may be safely dis
missed.

We have observed no widespread alarm
throughout the United States over the
fact that Inspector Primrose and twenty
six men of the Canadian mounted police,
fully armed, have been given permission
by the Washington government to land
at Fort Wrangel and pass on up the
Suckeen river 10 Canadian territory. II
they have concealed beneath friendly pro-
fessions and an apparently peaceful mis-
sion a most foul design OF Alaskan con-
quest we are slumbering in fancied SCI
curly. OF course, it Is scarcely possible
that Canada-imperial Canada-would at
tempt the conquest of Alaska with twenty
seven men; but We might, indeed, have
cause TO view with alarm this hostile in
vason of our soil IL their numbers were
increased to sixty, the formidable proper
tons of the American military relief ex-
petition.
