RUINED CITY OF CoPAN.
Honduras Government Has Stopped
Work of Excavation.

From the New York Mail and Express
All work on the ruins of the great pre-
historic city of Copan, in Honduras, has
been suspended by order of the Hondu-
ran government. Extensive excavations
have been made at Copan by agents of
the Peabody exploration fund, and great
palaces and temples, giant stairways and
broad plazas have been unearthed. Enough
was uncovered to show that Copan was the
capital of great empire which has en-
tirely vanished, leaving no history, not
even traditional history, behind it which
man as vet can read.
The government of Honduras gave no
valid reason for stopping the excavations
and the custooians of the Peabody ex-
plorations fund hope to be able to get per-
mission to resume work next year as the
prohibition seems to be only the result of
a temporary freak on the part of the
native officials. Meantime a wall has been
built around a part of the excavated citv
and watchmen. living in huts amid the
ruined palaces of forgotten kings, keen

The history of Copan and its mighty
warriors. wise statesmen and splendid
kings is all written on numerous columns
of stone and on the walls of the pal
aces and temples. but no man as yet can
read the inscriptions. Archaeologists of
the Peabody Museum have, however, mas

party off. She then wrote the official in
Washington that she had neither forwarded
his order nor Informed Fremont of it. and
that the expedition was well under way.
To defy official orders was a good deal of
responsibility for an eighteen-year-old
girl, but she had inherited her fathers
courageous spirit and did not hesitate to
act for what she thought were the best in
terestS of her husband and the country.
Her father, when later he joined her in st.
Louis and she told him what she had done,
approved her act and every American owes
her debt Of gratitude for permitting moth
ing to interfere with plans which eventual
ly not only explored, but developed the
Pacific coast and led to the conquest of
California.
Life in California
Mrs Fremont's influence was instrumental
in bringing California into the Union as
a free state. Her husband WIS opposed to
slavery, and her people, though Virginians
and large landed proprietors. with hundreds
of negroes on their estates, were not slav,
holders, having given freedom to their peo-
pie in the hope of putting SLAVERY to an
end We did not own our negroes; they
owned u.s." recently said Mrs. Fremont,
who recalls many of them with great affec-
ton. and smiles a the remembrance of the
proprietary airs they assumed toward the
families they so faithfully served.
When Mrs. Fremont decided to join her
husband in California in as. she made the
difficult journey by way of Panama, sailing
from New York. The trip was one of hard
ship and extreme peril from beginning to
end Every sort of uneXpccccd misfortune

she held to her purpose Of going to her hus-
band, though she had had no news from

his time. namely, NJ. Clovis Pierre, known
as the Poet of the Morgue,'' has died For
many years NJ. Pierre was the registrar at
the morgue and lived in the gruesome es-
Establishment behind the cathedral. That
did not prevent him from writing lively
songs for cafe concerts. and occasional
poems which might have been fathered by
Eillon or Eerlaine. 1t is undeniable that
Pierre would have attained great popularity
as a writer of amusing verse had ne devot-
ed himself completely to it. He preferred
however, to remain at the morgue as an
official of the city, with the prospect Of
pension for his old age. In his youth Pierre
had known Beranger and he initiated his
art. About the morgue, where he lived, the
pOetcal registrar was always grimly face
tious He called it in his verses the Hotel
du Numero Duck which never refused hos

manager of big hotel well known in Paris,
which was a quiet place of rest for travel

verses half serious half comic about the
people who were lying stark and stiff on the
marbles Of the morgue. He sang of lovers
who had committed suicide and of people
who had drowned themselves through
grief or through restitution. After thirty
two years spent in the service of the city
Pierre retired on his pension, and ne then

Mrs Fremont made her social debut at
the White House at the age of thirteen,
when President Van Buren, gave dinner
for his son, and at fourteen she attended
IN honor OF the Russian minister, Bodisca,
the splendid, and his sixteen-year-old bride.

Career Begins.
In this way began a brilliant social ca
reer which brought her in contact with
such women of the past as Mrs. Alexander
Hamilton and Mrs. Dolly Madison, and all
the prominent people of her fathers day
and generation.
Though Mrs Fremont did not accompany
her husband on any Of his exploring expe-
dltlons across the continent, she made the
most important Of them possible. and 1t
happened in this way: The government had
given MIN his first separate command and
equipped him for an expedition to the Pa
cine coast, but there was much jealousy
and opposition in Washington, and while
Fremont was on the frontier preparing to
start an order was sent to ST. Louis recall
ing him to the national capital Mrs. Ere
mont received and read this order, but she
had no intention of allowing her husbands
expedition to be ruined, so instead of for
Ward1nS 1t to him, she sent instead, by the
sWiftest messenger she could find, letter
telling him to start west without a mo-
ments delay and not ask why. He obeyed
her instructions to the letter. The return
ing messenger brought her the assurance
that he had seen her husband and the
