1t is now stated upon the alleged au-
thority of an Episcopalian clergyman that
the famous Calaveras skull, which has so
interested the scientific world for more
than quarter Of a century. was buried
as joke. The skull was found at the
bottom Of a mining shaft. and it has been
made the subject of much curious specU-
lation. There were always doubts as to
its age and how II got into the earth at
that depth. II seemed singular that one
skull should be found in such place. and
with no other human remains anywhere

EXTRA SESSION SURE.
The President Has So Announced to
Callers.
Callers.

Washington, Jan. 30.-President
Mckinley said to several callers that
the only question remaining undecid-
ed was whether he should issue the
call for an extra session OF Congress
before or after his second term be-
gins on March +.
The action of the United States
Supreme court i'll announcing that
it would take a recess till Feb. IL.
when it would meet, hand down de-
cisions and adjourn for another two
weeks, was construed to indicate an
entra session of Congress.
The court usually takes but two
weeks for recess in February. 1t is
surmised that the long recess now is
for the purpose of giving the justices
a chance to devote their time to the
study of the Porto Rico and Philip
pine cases that they may render the
decisions by March +.
Mr. kcklnley said to one of his
friends that an extra session would
be necessary for the Philippine legis-
lation, no matter what the decision
OF the supreme court might be.

"Surly," as Miss Folsom promptly
named the pair, Marshall had ridden
into Gate City at the side of the Fol-

the old trader himself, who looked
panied when told he could not attend
the dinner. Surely Col. Stevens will
let you Off" said Folsom, but that OBJ
viously was not the reason.

said Dean, "and so cannot ask"
But when Folsom took his daughter
in his arms a little later and inquired
whether there was not some graver
cause behind the one assigned Elinor
calmly answered that she thought
there was, and that the cause was Mai.
Burleigh.
But, daughter dear, said he, that's
just one reason I wish to bring them
together. Then Dean could see how
pleasantly disposed the major is" and
he was amazed when she replied:

posed, but Mr. Dean is not by any
means, nor would be were l in his

sides what we heard on the train. Mai.

Maj. Burleigh had said and done to his
discredit, and no wonder he declines to
dine with a man who has deliberately
maligned him"

Folsom, his knotty hands deep in tho
pockets of his loose-fitting trousers.
Il saw Burleigh this morning on some
business, and he seemed to want to
help Dean along. What took him out to
the fort, do you suppose?"
81 don't know" she answered, grave
ly. He had Capt. Newhall with him
in quest of somebody who wasn't
there"
"Ah, yes, Griggs, the sutler. I heard
of it," interposed Folsom, lingering his
watch chain.
Very possibly. The captain was
ugly and rude in manner and Maj.
Burleigh very much embarrassed. In
deed, daddy dear, | should not be great
ly surprised if others of your party
failed to come"
"Burleigh, do you mean, or his queer
guest?"
But Pappoose did not reply. She
seemed listening intently, and then

voice was far from cordial as she
