Two distinguished Danish scientists
and psychologists, DR.. Johannes Neu-
haus and Prof. Haitian Boring of Co
penhagen, arrived this week from
Nicaragua, where they have been con-
Quoting an investigation into the early
races i%nhabiting that country. They
carried home with them more than 20
tons OF vases, hatchets and other arch
geological finds, the result of months
OF patient investigation and excava-
tons among the buried cities Of Mic
aragua. These curios will be deposited
In the royal Danish museum of Copen-
hagen. Their field of operations was
a territory in Central America, which
had been heretofore not touched by the
a~rchaeologist, and the facts to be de-
duced from their discoveries are diff
ferent from those brought out by the
excavations made at Cozumel and in
the land of the Mayas. Messrs. Neu-
haus and Boring confined their in
vestigations to the country around
Bluefields, on the Atlantic coast of
Az AAS SO0ht4 40 0pdLO Cly
populated, the only inhabitants being
the Mesquite Indians, recent corners,
and evidently not descendants of the
a~borigines. The researches of the Dan
lsh scientists showed that the people of
the Atlantic lowlands of Central Amer
lea were connected with the Incas
OF Peru and the aboriginal inhabitants
OF the gulf coast of Louisiana and
Texas. The discoveries fit in with the
recent finding by Prof. Beyers of traces
of the mound builders in the Louisiana
swamps, and would indicate that one
branch of the Peruvian Indians wan
dered to the north, constantly attacked
by more savage tribes, and gradually
losing what civilization they originally
possessed. The aborigines of the Mic
aragua coast were clearly not Of the
Aztec race, although settled heal them,
but differed from them in many par
ticulars. Their relationship with the
lncas is shown In the stone tools and
tomahawaks they made, in the char
acter of the cement they used, and in
many other ways. The cement found
was evidently over 1000 years old, and
was Identical in character with the ce-
ment found in the houses of Cannar,
n of the Oldest towns of the Incas.
Either n of the inca tribes was left
behind in Nicaragua when the rest of
the Indians passed on into South
America, OF else it wandered from
Peru north to Central America. The
civilization of the Nicarguan Incas was
far below that of Peru. No metal of
any kind was discovered in the Mica
raguan mound, but the stone weapons
discovered were of the highest order,
and superior to the metal weapons of
the Aztecs.-New York Sum-

A coRoNER,s QUEER CASE.
Asked to Hold an Inquest on a Petri-
fed Man.

fed Man.
A recent dispatch from River Falls,
Wis, says Coroner Allison, of that
place, has been placed in a peculiar
position by a travelling Snowman, as
an effort is being made by many of the
residents to force him to impanel a
jury and hold an inquest upon a petri-
fed human body now being exhibited
there. Several days ago Henry Samp-
son came here, and after renting a
small hall placed on exhibition what
he claims as a petriied body. Sur
geons who have examined the curios-
ity declare that 1t Ia what the show
man claims. The body was found near
Marinette three years ago, and until
recently had been on exhibition in the
east. 1t is that of the body Of a we'll
developed man of middle age. He had
evidently been killed by Indians and
scalped. In the breast are two wounds,
either one of which would have been
fatal. One of these has the appear
ance of having been made by a bullet,
while the other looks as if it were
made with a knife. Two days after
the curiosity was placed On exhibition
the storm broke. A large number OF
citizens, headed by the church people
made a formal protest against the
body, as they called 1t, being exposed
to public view, claiming that 1t was a
sacrilege to the dead. Another fac
ton laughed at this contention, and
stood back of the Snowman, who will
fight the case. He contends that while
his curiosity was once a human body,
it is now nothing but a piece of stone,
which he can exhibit as much as he
pleases. The will be called
upon to decide the status of the ex-
hibit.

OUR VISITING POPULATION.
The Fall Tourist Season Brings Us
Many Strangers.

Many Strangers.
81 am often asked" said Captain Dubois
of the Executive Mansion staff how many
visitors daily pass through the big main
doors of the Presidents house. 1t is not
easy TO strike daily average because of
the fluctuations of travel and the attend
ance of delegations.
Sometimes the President will receive a
visiting delegation of 1000 and over; on
other days devoted to the reception of the
public perhaps not over 200 or 800 persons
will shake his hand. But every day in the
week during the hours which the White
House is open to visitors there is a steady
stream of tourists and visitors coming in.
in fact this furnishes good estimate of
the number of the strangers within our
gates, as every stranger who comes to
Washington visits the White House and the
Capitol. | think that a regular average
about LOCO persons enter the White House
every week day.
"As a handshaker the President is a sue
cess, and he receives and personally greets
each member of a delegation of. say, 800
persons with dispatch and a graciousness
and affabilty which p,eases those who thus
briefly meet MIN. 1t is great event in
the lives of many to whom this privilege is
accorded, and We often afterward hear such
remarks they will be pleased at home

hands with the President -

number of persons who pass into the beau

mourned as dead The sheikh, reading
from the superior's features that the value
of the stone must be great, greatly re-
joiced and doubled in his mind the sum he
was going to ask for.
Stratagem Succeeds SubtIety.
THE superior told him that the stone had
an immense value, if the person who found
it could be produced, as everything depended
upon the site where it was found and the
circumstances attending its discovery. The
sheikh left in disgust and decided to let the
matter drop, but his ayarice again pre-
vailed. and after some weeks he told his
captive Franciscan that he would have to
prepare for journey to Jerusalem, threat
ening him with death, however, If he made
known his identity. Upon their arrival at
the convent they were shown into the re-
ception room and treated to refreshments.
The superior then asked to see the finder of
the famous stone alone and retired with
him into an adjoining ROOM whence the
long-lost Franciscan was Immediately taken
to a place of safety. In the meantime the
superior had sent notice to the pasha Of the

DIRECTORS
WILL RESIGN.
Messrs. Lea and Pussy Are
Opposed to Mr.. FOrd's
Debut Into Railway
Affairs. :

Peter L. Ford's admission to the
Board OF Directors of the Whining
ton City Railway Company will be
followed by big shake up in that
body. 1t was said this morning
that Preston Lea and William Pu-
sey would resign from the board
Immediately upon the admission of
Mr.. Ford, but what material effect
their action will have in the COM
pany's affairs cannot be predicted
at this time.
Ever since the officers of the Uni
ted Power and Traction Company
Of Philadelphia, which controls the
local railway lines, expressed their
intention OF admitting Mr.. Ford to
the directorate, the Wilmington dl-
rectors have been much alarmed.
Just why they should be disturbed
cannot belearncd, but it will doubt
less crop out when the board meets
here. Officers OF the owning corpo-
ration will be here this afternoon,
but for what purpose would not be
admitted this morning. twas said
they would formally announce to
the local directors that Mr.. Ford
was to be admitted to the board,
and that announcement would also
be made OF a special meeting OF the
board for that purpose.
Mr.. Ford knows nothing about
the visit Of the officers Of the cor
poration to this city this afternoon.
This morning he told reporter OF
the hat his knowledge
of local railway affairs extended
only to the information that he was
to be admitted to the directorate of
the company. But when he was to
be admitted, he could not say He
did not know that his proposed cleo
ton to the board would create such
dissention as would lead to the res.
ignation of Messrs. Lea and Pussy.
Willard Salisbury, local counsel
OF the company, knew nothing OF
the intentions of the local directors.
He has not Leen a member OF the
board for two years, neither does
he own share Of the stock; hence
his unfamiliarity with the affairs
of the directorate. But, notwith-
stynding this seeming disinterest
on the part Of Mr.. aulsbury, it is
said he was an important factor in
the recent developments in the Will
mngton City II ailway affairs.
Preston Lea would not deny that
he intended to resign from the board
of directors OF the company. He
understood the officers OF the COM
pany would be here this afternoon,
but he did not know the object OF
their visit. He preferred to say
nothing about his connection with
the directorate until after the regu.
lar meeting of the board which will
be held the fifteenth of this month.
Almost conclusive proof that Mr..
Lea had sent his resignation as
director Of the company to the Phil
adclphia officials, was given by a
man prominent in railway circles.
1t was that Mr.. Lea had rendered
his resignation and that it would
be accepted by the company officials
this afternoon. 1t is believed Mr..
Ford will be admitted at the same
time.
Although Mr.. Pussy could not be
seen, it was stated by men who
know that he had resigned from the
directorate OF the company.
