PAUL JONES' TOMB FOUND.
Ambassador Porter Believes Burial
Site Of Noted Sea Hero II
Known

Washington. - Ambassador Horace
Porter, at Paris, has new hope that he
at last has discovered the remains OF
John Paul Jones. Four years ago q
clew indicated that the remains of Jones,
who died in Paris, had been inferred in
a small urban cemetery, but its site was
covered with buildings. > J
Not long ago. however, Mr.. Porter
found information which warranted at
least the hope that the sailors skeleton
was not removed when the buildings
were erected, and that it now reposes be-
meath the foundations or within the
cellar Of some of the dilapidated old
flats on the ground once occupied by the
cemetery.
1t has been suggested that even If the
remain: ere found in the work Of excava-
ton II Iuld not be possible to identity
them after this lapse of time as those
or John Paul Jones. Mr.. Porter, how
ever, thinks otherwise, pointing out that
the American sailor was buried in q
lead coffin, an unusual means of inter-
ment at that date, and one likely to pre-
serve the body in fair condition for an
indefinite period.
Mr.. Porter believes the Theoretically
sealed coffin, If found, will still contain
sufficient evidence of the identity of its
inhabitant.
The ambassador has suggested to
President Roosevelt that to defray the
cost OF searching for the remains con-
gress be asked to appropriate fund OF
$4,000, and the president, it is believed
will approve this recommendation. It is
contemplated, in the event that the
search is successful, that the remains
shall be placed on United States war.

OF the many enjoyable meetings which
this society has held in past years this
will be numbered as one of the most
pleasant, and no evening in the clubs

thoroughly distinctive and happily
chosen for a Halloween evening.

ATTEMPTED Hold.un Rennrted.

The jewellers on Waterylle road, just
below Factory street, were startled,
Sunday evening about 80, by two re-
volver shots followed by the noise of a
runaway horse. Dr.. F. S Bigelow, j.
H. Murray and others proceeded to
make an investigation and found the
horse which had stopped in the doctor S
yard and later the broken wagon, lear
the small bridge in the hollow at the
foot of Nutter hill, over which the side
walk passes at that point.
Ii appeared that Fred Thibodeau and
his six-year old son, accompanied by
another man whose name is not given,
had driven here from Wateryille, earlier
in the day, and gone to Madison on the
electric cars. Their story is that when
they went to the stable here in the even
ing for their team some parties were
watching them as they paid their bill
and noted that they had a considerable
sum of money with them. They drove
over the river on their way toward
Watervile and when just below the
shoe factory they were startled by an
order to stop and hand over their money.
They could distinguish several men and
one of them said "If you don't stop I'll
shoot the horses head of" They
whipped up their horse and the revolver
flashed twice directly in the horses face.
The animal became uncomfortable, took
to the ditch, broke away from the wagon
and ran to DR.. Bigelow's yard as above
reported.
Thibodeau and his companions CON
tinued their journey to Wateryille Mon

CLOSE on the Trail.

Since the burglary at Shawmut, which
we chronicle on page seven, Sheriff G.
II. Smith has been very busy man in
following up different clues to the per-
petrators, and we look to see at least one
OF the burglars occupying cell in our
county Jail before night.
Tuesday, the sheriff of Franklin county
arrested near Eustis, Howard Taylor Of
Starks, who has criminal record and
who was suspected of being a party to
this break. Wednesday Sheriff Smith
visited the Franklin county Jail and
after giving Taylor the third degree"
decided that he knew nothing of the
Shawmut sfFir and Taylor was given
his liberty.
Sheriff Smith has located another
party who ne feels quite sure was one
of the burglars and probably an arrest
will be made this afternoon.

The President at New Orleans.

The grand elimination and climax OF
the Presidents trip South were realized
at New Orleans on Thursday. Inc
densely crowded streets, the elaborate
decorations. the wild applause that
greeted the President along the route oil
the parade, the enthusiasm with winch
his address to the multitude in Lstay-
cite square was received, and the re-
markabe demonstration in his honor at
an afternoon luncheon contributed TO-

The President was compelled to aoan'
don one public address before he had
got well started on il. Il was contem-
plated that the military and civic parade
should pass In review before him at the
city hall but the crowd at this point was
so tremendous that neither the police
nor the troops were able to move II and
the President, forseeing Il possible panic
finally gave up the attempt to speak and
left the platform. The crowd l4mmed

over Lafayette square almost from
Charles street to Camp street. frooaoly

the stand from which Mr.. Roosevelt was
to have spoken,
When the President decided to aban-
don his effort he shouted to the throng
to go home and be good cit zens ana
then disappeared into the mayors par
lors, well nigh exhausted. He said that
the reception was the greatest slnee ne
started on his trip.
The demonstration at the lunche0n
was scarcely less exuberant. When the
President entered the superbly deeorat-
ed dining hall, the 625 banqueters rose
and gave way to frantic cheering. Wheh
the President rose, he had great dltncu,-
ty in speaking. Every thought he ut
tered was the signal for an extraordinary
exhibition of enthusiasm, and, as MS
speech dealt almost entirely with local
subjects and had special reference to the
fight againet yellow fever, The banquet
developed into inceasing laudatlon OF
the President while he was on his feet
An immense crowd packed GraVier

fired, while the din of hundreds Of steam
whistles, mingled with the lusty cheers
of acres of people who had collected on
the wharf.
From the moment of his arrival early
in the forenoon until he said farewell
from the deck of the Magnolia at night
the President was constantly In the lime
light. The crowded program gave him
no opportunity for rest, but he expressed
keen enjoyment in his visit.
About midnight through confusion
of signals, the fruit steamer, Esparts,
collided with the Magnolia. No one
was il iured, and the steamer was beach
ed, her bow being high and dry. The
President WAS landed on the West Nir-
ginia on schedule time. After these
somewhat exciting expert noes the
President kept on until he arrived safely

AT some of the schools and universities
newspapers are used as text books, tie
pupils being obliged to make themselves
familiar with current topics. Why not +!
In no other way can they so speedily fit
themselves for real life and intelligent

some time in the grammar school of
Augusta as substitute for the reading
book, avoiding Of course the partisan
political controversies. The result Of
this practice was good.
