PAUL JONES' BONES.
Am bassador Porter Believes He May
He Able to Find Their burial Place.

He Able 10 Find Their Burial Place.
Ambassador Horace Porter has some
reason to believe that he has at last
discovered the remains of John Paul
Jones. the heroic American sailor, says
q Washington dispatch to the New
York Tribune. About four years ago
he received evidence that the body of
John Paul Jones, who died In Paris,
had been buried In a small urban Gem.
etery, but search for this cemetery
disclosed the fact that 1t had been
abandoned early in the last century
and that its site was covered with
buildings, leaving little hope that any
remains buried there could be found.
These facts We're reported to the state
department at the time, and there the
matter has rested until recently.
Not long ago, however, Mr.. Porter
came into possession of some additional
information which warranted at least
the hope that the sailors skeleton was
not removed when the buildings were
erected and that 1t now reposes be-
meath the foundations or within the Gel
lar of some Of the dilapidated old flats
which stand on the ground once occu-
pied by the cemetery. A defect in the
clews now at hand lies in the fact that
they do not indicate under which par
ticular building John Paul Jones was
buried. Ii these clews are to be fol-
lowed. therefore, 1t will be necessary to
demolish anywhere from one to a half
dozen buildings The coffin may be
found at the first excavation or Ii may
be necessary to turn over the whole site
OF the ancient cemetery.
1t has been suggested that even IL
remains were found In the work of ex-
cavation 1t would not be possible to
identify them after this lapse Of time
as those Of John Paul Jones. Mr.. Por-
ter. however, thinks otherwise, point
Ing out that the American sailor was
buried In a lead coffin-an unusual
means of burial at that date, and one
likely to preserve the body in fair con-
dition for an indefinite period of time.
1t Is true that Jones, by bequeathing to
friends and immediate attendants
upon his deathbed his sword, his med
ais and jewelry, which otherwise would
have been found In his coffin, added
to the difficulty of Identification. Bat
Mr.. Porter feels that the hermetically
sealed coffin, IL found, will still contain
sufficient evidence for purposes of iden
titication.
The ambassador has suggested to
the president that to defray the cost
OF searching for the remains of John
Paul Jones congress be asked to appro-
pirate fund of $50, 900, and the presi-
dent. 1t Is believed. will approve this
recommendation 1t Is contemplated,
In the event the search Is successful,
that the remains shall be placed on a
United States warsh!p and brought to
Washington, to be buried In the Ma
tional cemetery at Arlington, after ap-
propriate ceremonies.

FOR THE INAUGURATION.
Incoming Trains Bring Thousands to
Washinuton.

Washington, March 3.-All the in
coming trains are bringing in large
crowds of inaugural visitors. The ho'
tel lobbies are crowded and streets arc
filled with the strangers. Governor
blanchard and staff of Louisiana were
among the noteworthy arrivals of the
day and numerous civil organizations
came ON the afternoon trains.
The committee ON street decorations
is working hard TO put the finishing
touches ON its elaborate scheme of en-
bellishing the line of parade and the
"Court of History" into which the
plaza in front of the White House,
treasury and state, war and navy
buildings has been transformed, Is al
most complete. The snow which fell
Wednesday has practically disap'
peared from Pennsylvania avenue, on
which the troops and civic organiza-
tions will parade, and the reviewing
stands erected along the line on both
sides of the route of march are In
readiness.

Deadwood dispatch, 1: About s4Oo, :
COO Is the output of the United States
assay Office in this city for the month
OF February. This money in bullion
came in from the Golden Reward,
Horseshoe. Imperial, Dakota. Maitland,
Lundberg Door, Wasp No. 2 and Hidden
Fortune companies. There was also a
considerable amount of gold dust that
came from Rapid City and Spearfish
banks in the shape of placer gold.
Placer miners have commenced opera
ilons in the Black Hills early this year
on account of the omen season. The
Homestake company does not bring its
bnIlion to the Deadwood assay office for
shipment, but sends IL directly to New
York. This makes about $500, 600 less

CULTURE FOR THE POOR.

w. y. Stead's Idea Of an Endowed
Theater For Unfortunate Class.
w. Il. Stead, who is fifty four, never
saw a performance In a theater until
this winter. says a special cable dis
patch from London to the New York
American and Journal. Now he be-
lieves the theater ought to be made an
agency for the spread Of culture and
civilization. He favors a state endowed
theater.
The famous editor gave his impress
sions of the theater, speaking as tyro,
to club of theater goers. He said he
believed In the ideal theater, whose sue
cess would depend upon these condi-
tions:
The creation of fellowship OF the thea
ter to correspond with the membership OF
q church
Free performances at least once a week.
A sixpenny gallery ard shilling pit. all
places to be booked In advance.
The production OF the best works OF the
worlds best dramatists.
Mr.. Stead appealed to four classes OF
theater goers for the endowment of his
ideal theater-royalty, aristocracy, plu-
tocracy and journalists. Arguing that
the theater is now for the classes and
not the masses, Mr.. Stead said:
''The theater at present Is one OF the
perquisites of the middle classes 1t
ought to be the common Inheritance OF
the whole people. One Of the signs of
the advent Of a new era would be that

EX-SENATOR woLcoTT DEAD,

Denver, March 3.--A cablegram an
nouncing the death OF former United
States Senator Wolcott of Colorado
and the leader of the Wolcott Repub-
licans in this state at Monte Carlo.
France, has been received In this city.
The death of Mr.. Wolcott was Sc
we're blow to his many friends, as he
was apparently in the best of health
when he left the state last summer
for a sojourn abroad, presumably be-
cause OF rebuffs offered his political
projects.
Edward Oliver Wolcott was born at
Longmeadow. Mass, March 26, 1S4S.
He was a veteran of the Civil war,
having served in the One Hundred
and Fiftieth regiment, Ohio yolun-

and graduated from the law depart
ment at Harvard. Following his grad
uation he came to Colorado and estab-
lished a law practice at Denver. He

becoming heavily interested In valu-
able mining and other enterprises In
the state. His advance in political life
was equally pronounced. He served
as United States senator from 1889 to
1901. He was chairman of the com.
mittee appointed by President Mckin-
ley to visit Europe to negotiate for in
tsrnational bimetallism.

GOOD FOR EVERYTHING

The question is often asked how
one treatment can be goad for every
thing. Is not pure air and pure water
beneficial TO the system? If SO, will
it not benefit every organ of the sys-
tenn TO purify the blood, and elimi-
nate the large amount of poison that
collects in the system? Is not regulat-
ing the bowels beneficial to the entire
system, and absolutely necessary to
the proper condition of health? Ii so,
why should it not be just as necessary
to open up the seven million pores in
the skin, which is the sewerage of the
entire system, letting off the deadly
poison which thousands of people are
carrying about in their bodies perfect
ignorant of their condition. You can
easily see this process of renovation
can not help but benefit every part of
the human machinery.
