JOHN PAUL JONES.
Remarkable Story of the Finding Of
His Body by Gen. Porter

Remarkable Story Of the Finding OF
His Body by Gen. Porter.
New York, July 17.-General
Horace Porter, retiring Ambassa-
dor to France, who has arrived
here after an absence of eight
years abroad, discussing the find
ing of the body ofJohn Paul Jones
as the result of a search lasting six
years, said:
SAT last the excavations brought
to light FIVE leaden cofins. -Four
had plates identifying the bodies
within, and the fifth, Of far better
construction, had none. BY the
process of elimination we decided
it must contain the body of the dis
tinguished naval hero. When, in
the presence Of antbropologists and
surgeons of note, the coffin was
opened, words cannot express our
surprise at the remarkable state of
preservation the body was found
in clothed in a winding sheet of
linen. The arrangement of the
coffin tailed exactly with the his.
torical documents that told of the
careful preparation to ship the
body to the United States, as was
the first idea. There was tin foil
over the hands and face, and the
interior Of the coffin was filled with
hay and straw so that the body
could pot roll in the long and nee
essarily rough voyage at that time
in sailing vessel.
Together with the documents
we had the Houdon bust with which
to compare the head, and so care
fully was this done by the exam
ming savants that mole on the
left ear was discovered by one, and
Immediately upon examining the
bust, the same physical mark was
found.

ters, that is, the seventy eight
thousandths Of an inch.
"If all this is remarkable, the au-
topsy by the eminent DR.. Captain,
of Paris, is more so. Think of an
autopsy being performed on the
body of man who died 113 years
before. We know that John Paul
Jones had an attack of bronchial
pneumonia in Russia year before
he died in France. The autopsy
showed the presence of the disease
in the left lung, which the French
physician long before had record
ed as out of service. The autopsy
further showed, as history stated,
that John Paul Jones died of
chronic nephritis, and plainly
showed the dropsical condition of
the patient before his death.
"The naval hero was somewhat
of dandy, you know, and on the
body was a fine linen shirt, the
bosom of which was laid with
rufles and plaits. His clothing
bore the initial d"

The question the fortunate ones are
asking this morning is:t"Why weren't

And well asked.
By the fortunate ones we mean the
people who saw Florence Davis last
night IN "Thc Player Maid" After.
Wilton Lackaye in "The Pit" the night
before, it was a %foregone conclusion
that the house would be small, but
the wise ones suspected that their at

WOULD be amply rewarded, and their
only disappointment was in the alb.
sence of SO many Of their friends.
""As good a play and presented by as
strong a company as was ever seen
in Fairmont," was the comment freely
expressed after the play last night
and that too by the conservative ele
ment who are not in the habit Of Civ

work, and Miss Davis has shown he
