In the open air arena at Recrea-

Buffalo Bill" so long a factor in
the story of the frontier and in en-
tertainment, is going to doff his
hat to Spokane for the last time,
and dismount from the saddle as
far as this city is concerned.
Nothing could be more appropriate
to the occasion than the story of
his own life as told in the Wild
West and the supplementary story
of the Orient with its many diff
ferent races that go to make his
new alliance so interesting In Paw
nee Bill's Far East.
Few men living today hold a
higher place in public favor, re-
gard and esteem, than does ''Buf,
falo Bill" His superb and effec-
tive work in the days when the
last of the Indian wars were be-
ing waged against the most relent-
less foes the United States troops
ever met; alone entitle him to a
great measure Of praise and credit.

conclusion that f was risky business TO have

the country even II the moving was done
with all possible care The president took
this view Of the matter also and so It was
decided not TO allow the Declaration to be
transferred to Chicago
About this time John Hay. who was then
acting as secretary OF state asked the Ma.
tonal Academy Of Sciences to carefully Inves.
tgate the condition OF the document and TO
make suggestions M to ways and means for
Its preservation. Accordingly President Agas
sl2 OF the National Academy appointed a spe
cial committee. consisting OF John s. Billings

Ter with Secretary Hay on the subject Even.
tually this special committee was given an
opportunity to make n careful examination
OF the precious instrument with the assist.
ance OF Mr.. A, II. Allen, then serving as the
chiet OF the bureau Of rolls and library of tho
state department and also with the aid OF DR..

pose OF producing a fac-simile copy removed

years while the instrument was placed on ex.
hlDlllon has resulted In the fading OF the ink
particularly in the signatures. The commit
tee was pleased, however, 10 find that no evil
dence OF mold or other disintegratlng agents
could be discovered upon the parchment by .
careful microscopic examination. They also
reported against the proposition which had
been advanced 10 apply chemicals with a view
to restoring the original color Of the ink. 1t
was the opinion OF the experts that such ap.
plcaton could be but partially successful in.
asmuch as considerable portion of the orig.
inal ink was removed in making the copy OF
1920 and also because such application might
result In serious discooration of the parch.

Finally the committee reported adversely
upon the suggestion that any solution. such as

that the document be kept in the dark and
dry as pCss. bile. and never placed on exhi.
billion. Accordingly, in 1894. It was hermct.
iCally sealed In frame and placed in the steel
case above mentioned, together with the
original copy ui the constitution Of the United

the order in accordance with which the huge
square steel box that holds the Declaration
was locked and sealed. II has been opened

as the reason why Mr.. Jefferson was placed

had been sustained by writings remarkable
for their peculiar felicity of expression" AS
In the case OF Washington. therefore. II would
seem that there were reasons of eminent at.
