INTERESTING LETTER FROM MIR. s

II. WALSH.
AZ Walnut Street,
Philadelphia, Dec. ., 1905.
Francis Olcott Allen. Esq, Chairman:
Dear Sir:--In accordance with the in
structons contained in your letter of the
9Th ulto., to represent your committee to
recover the remains of General Ira Allen,
beg leave to report that the work of dis
nterring the remains at the graveyard Of
the Free Quaker Society on the west side
of Fifth street below Locust street, has
been finished
The workmon began digging on Monday,
the 9th of November and the last remain
ing body was taken out day before yester-
day. Much to my regret, no tombstone
or remains of a body were found that
would lead to an identification of that of
General Ira Allen, for whom the search
has now been made during the last few
weeks. On the southern side OF the yard
only few bodies were found, not over
twelve or fifteen. while on the northern
half, burials were evidently made very
generally. Bodies were found buried
closely together throughout this section of
the burial ground; as many as three or
tour in one grave The ground was dug
to the depth of over eight feet over the
entire yard The remains found, were
with very few exceptions so mingled
with the earth that identification was inn
possible, except from the headstones over

 A. The lower house of congress has gone on record as favoring lock canal; the senate has not yet taken any action. Pribably it will be lock- ed; length 46h miles; width 160 feet at top and '73 feet at the bot tob, except through Culebra ridge, where 1t will be 78 feet at the bot tom and 29 feet at the bottom.

Sarah Bernhardt carried away nearly a quarter of a million of good American dollars. To her, the op- position of the theatrical trust was Il great boom and she coined more money than she would have received had she been allowed to play at the trust houses.-Norwich Record.
 Fashion in Paris has issued a novel decree in connection with the mar riage of the king of Spain and Prin- cess Ena. A rose has been named after the Spanish monarch, and all summer this rose will be the regula tion decoration at all festive occa sions. Society women in the French capital also will wear the rose ex- clusively in their corsages, and, of course, the fashion is bound to be- come general. London also is ex- pected to adopt the rose in honor of Princess Ena, and the result will be that it will be rose sumemr as far as the women are concerned.-New York Press.
 The police of New York were called out to rescue a young woman who was supposed to be screaming for help. It was discovered that instead of crying for help she was singing. She was not arrested.-New Haven Journal and Courier.

For the first time in ten years the United States senate has on its rolls the full quota of ninety members. During that period one or more of the members of that body were under cloud, so to speak, by reason of their being in the hands of the law for violation of the constitutional
 mandate that no member of the sen- ate shall practice before any of the executive departments of the gov ernment in legal capacity for pay. The chief offenders in this respect were Senators Mitchell of Oregon and Burton of Kansas. Both of these men remained from the senate chamber during the time of their in dictment, for had they put in an ap- pearance in that august body during the pendency of their trials for such acts they would have been expelled from their seats by a vote of the sen- ate. Senator Mitchell was fortunate ly removed by death from the sen- ate and thus escaped the shame of a jail sentence, while Senator Burton was forced to vacate his seat after an absence of two years, during which time he left no stone unturned to se- cure a vindication from the charges brought against him. The supreme court of the United States twice passed unfavorably upon his case and the senate leaders threatened to expel him if he did not relinquish his seat, which he did.
