For days members Of the Womens s
League OF the National Republic have
been preparing for the grand collection,
and il started today about 8 o'clock in
bank buildings. Office buildings, hotels
ana cafes
Hundreds Uf persons passed the little
tables with their neat little placards
during the early hours Of the day, and
wondered what it was all about. Some
Cne told the other one and the other
one told somebody else, and the next
time they passed the tables they dropped
a nickel in the baskets. A passer-by
heard the clink of the coin and followed
suit. SO before II o'clock the word had
been passed pretty generally around
and the nickels came in thick and fast.

Pretty Girls at the Willard.
over at the New Willard it seemed
that all the pretty girls in town were
gathered. They did not begin to take
in the nicSeIs until along about II
o'clock, for debutante parties and late
suppers do not agree with early rising.
But when they did put up their stands
and look pleadiugly at all passers6y.
there were mighty few who had the
heart to refuse. Three-fourths of those
who dropped coins into the pretty little
baskets had 10 idea what il was all
about The greater number Of these

When he died and the hotel was
CLOSED there were 13 single dollars and
10 niekels in the cash register. He was
buried Friday, the 18TH and there were
13 floral pieces upon his coffin.
In an ancient mummy case dating
back to the age of Alexander or earlier,
Herr Borchardt has found at Abusir,
Egypt, papyrus roll containing an
ode by Timotheus, the Greek poet and
musician The Independent chronicles
the details of the discovery as follows:
'By the head of the buried man lay
the remains of a small leather purse,
sponge, a rusted piece of iron, bit of
wood, and a thin roll of papyrus With
infinite pains this thin roll was opened;
when broken and pieced together 1t
proved forty three inches long and con-
tained five columns of Greek writing.
The first column was in ruinous state,
the second was not complete. but the
three last were intact and gave the
concluding verse of a poem, in which
by good luck the poet speaks of himself
by name. 1t was at once clear from
the theme that we had here portion of
The Persians' a famous name of TiIno-
theus, of which two or three brief frag
ments were already in our anthologies."
