family and when he died the people
of Asheville spared no expense in
preparing his body for shipment to
England, for all believed the family
would ask that it be sent at once.
An undertaken here has prepared
an embalming fluid which he had
declared was in every way as eff
cacious as that used to preserve the
mummies of Egypt. AS the body
was to go, as he supposed, a long
distance, he embalmed it with spec
ial care and a fine metallic coffin
was provided. Then the cablegram
was sent to the Beresford family in
England, but no reply came. This
was believed at first to be an over
sight, but as the time passed the
people Of this city began to believe
the stories that came to them of the
man being an impostor. The un-
dertaker did not remove the body
from the coffin, however, and it was
kept in rear room.
A short time ago a man was look
ing for coffin of a particular kind
and this undertaken did not have
any that suited. Finally he was
shown the one which had held the
body of Lascelles for three years,
and he said it was exactly what he
was looking for. The undertaken
was thoroughly convinced by this
time that the body of Lascelles
would never be claimed, and rather
than lose the sale of the coffin dis
possessed it from its home for three
years.
When the body was removed it
was found to be in a perfect state
of preservation, the skin like leather,
and resembling in that respect the
old Egyptian mummies. The body
was placed in an erect position in
corner of the room, and has been
visited by many persons who knew
Lascelles in his lifetime and who
have commented on the way his
body has been preserved.
The body is said to be perfect
barometer. In warm and sunny
weather the skin becomes clear and
lifelike in appearance, while in
cloudy and stormy weather it as
sumes a mottled appearance, and
those who have watched it carefully
declare that at these times it has
the look of an angry man.
The undertaken has been offered
$1,000 for the body by the showmen,
who wish to place it on exhibition.
There is State law which makes it
crime punishable by Imprisonment
for a person to exhibit a dead body
or to be party to such exhibition
for pay. Hundreds of persons have
visited the undertaking room, and
it is the intention of the undertaken
to keep the body indefinitely.

NEW EMBALMING PROCESS
That Preserves the Human
Body Like an Egyptian
Mummy

A process of embalming a body
so that it will be preserved in as
good condition as were the num-
mics of the ancient Egyptians has
been discovered by an undertaken
of Asheville, N. c., who, more
than three years ago, prepared the
body of George Lascelle, known as
Lord Walter Charles Beresford, for
shipment to England, in the belief
that he was of the famous Beresford
family. The body never was buried,
and is standing in the rear room of
the undertaker's place of business,
a grim reminder of his skill.
Lascelle who was the son of a
gamekeeper on the estates of the
Duke of Devonshire, had a checker
ed career in this country, as well as
in Europe. He assumed the Beres-
ford name and title, and had no
more difficulty in passing himself
off as a titled Englishman in New
York and Newport that he did in
the small Southern cities where he
lived for a considerable time.
He met Miss Maud Lillienthal,
daughter of a wealthy tobacco manu-
facturer in London, and following
her TO this country, married her in
spite of the protest of her mother.
He later married Miss Pelky,
daughter of a wealthy lumberman
of Georgia, and afterward served a
term in prison.
On his release he assumed the
title, but he had contracted con-
sumption, and came to this city to
seek relief. No one doubted that
he was member of the Beresford

TWO MEN
BY WHITNEY MONTGOMERY

BY WHITNEY MONTGOMERY
know two men, know them well,
Two men of different rank,
One runs a forty-acre farm,
The other runs bank,
But both of them are honest men,
And both are kind and true,
And I'll be blessed if | can see
Much difference in the two.
One wears a simple duckin' suit,
And just an old flop hat.
The other dresses like lord,
From slippers to cravat,
And you might think the one a
tramp,
The other one flame"
But when you come to know them
we'll
You'd like them both the same.
For when they meet you on the
street
They greet you with smile,
And friendly air that makes you
feel
So easy all the while;
You feel as tho you'd like to stand
And chat a half-a-day,
And when you go the stars of hope
Shine brighter on your way.
Now, reader, lest you fail to catch
The moral of my strain,
I'll add another line or two
To make it good and plain;
'Tis common sense and honest worth
That levels state and rank,
And makes the chasm small between
The plow-share and the bank.

GRAzINc FOR GEESE.

(. The goose is not commonly regard
ed as a cousin to the COW, yet one is
about as persistent a grazer as the

they think the geese make so clean

spoiled for cattle.
An English authority says that
geese do not eat an excessive guam.
tity of heritage. if the goslings are
killed off the grass at the green stage
or are kept till after harvest and
finished on the stubble. AS for the
common belief that geese damage the
pasturage, the same writer says that
they destroy mainly the tuberous
roots OF the ra%nunculus, a weed
which could well be spared.
Nowadays in England the green
goose. or more correctly the gosling,
is more generally esteemed than tho
fat goose OF Christmas. and the ling
ering regard for the Michaelmas bird
is perhaps more sentimental than ac'
tual. The poulterers tell us that gos-
lings are in season from April to Oc'

the English producer it must be ad,

Fight OVER TOMBSTONE.
One Injured and Another is in Jail
Location the Cause.

The State of Saturday says as the
result of a disagreement ove the To-
cation of a gravestone which they
were placing over the last resting
place of James Powers, Wade Augh-
try is in Jail and James Powers is
suffering from a mysterious wound in
the head. Powers had purchased q
tombstone and Thursday he engaged
Aughtry to go with him to place the
stone at his fathers grave in the
Jackson Creek churchya-d on the Two
Notch road, 10 miles from Columbia.
While preparing for the installation
a disagreement arose between the
two and the subsequent events ac-
count for the injury to Powers.
Aughtry said that Powers carried
9 pint of whiskey with him and be-
came under the influence of the
liquor before they had succeeded in
getting the stone erected. Aughtry
claims that Powers insisted On put
ting the monument in the centre of
the grave instead of at the head and
that when Aughtry demurred became
vexed and advanced with an open
knife.
The accused says that he pushed
Powers away. from him, the man fall
ing and striking his head upon q
nearby headstone to a grave. When
he arose he was bleeding and Augh-
try brought him back to the city in
the wagon that had carried the
gravestone out. Aughtry is charged
with assault and battery with intent
to kill and was placed in Jail on q
warrant issued by Magistrate Easter
ling. The wound is not a serious one,
but Aughtry will be held to await de-
velopmentS.
