to a large audience at the Peoples
church. at st. Paul, Minn., last Thurs
day night. Mr.. Lawson declared that
should his so-called remedy. which
he did not make public, be put into
effect, there would be a great finan-
cial revolution; there would be no
more stock imitation; the money stol-
en- from the people by the system
would be returned to the people; and
because railroads and industrial cor

fair per centage on the true values
of their investments, the cost Of liv-

- General Horace Porter, retiring
ambassador TO France, who has just
arrived in New York after an absence
Of eight years abroad, discussing the
finding Of the body Of John Paul
Jones, as the result of a search last

must contain the body of the dis
tinguished naval hero. When IN the
presence OF anthI opologists and sur
geons Of note the coffin was opened,
words cannot express the surprise at
the remarkable state of preservation
Of the body. which was found clothed
in a winding sheet of linen. The ar
rangement OF the coffin Tailed exact
ly with the historical documents that
told of the careful preparation to
ship the body to the United States,
as was their idea 1t had tin foil
over the hands and face. and the in
terror of the coffin was filled with
hay and straw. so that the body
could not roll in the long and neces-
sarily rough voyage at that time in
sailing vessel. Together with the
