IS WELL PRESERVED
BODY 100 Years Old Found
in Georgian Vault.

Savannah. Ca, March Unchanged
with the passing of the years and with
her burial robes lying in the precise
position of interment. the body OF a
young woman incased in a strange me-
tai casket, has been unearthed by a
hunting party on one of the islands
adjacent to Wilmington. With the
casket of the women were found sew
eral other caskets. all stored away in
an old vault.
None of the caskets other than that
containing the woman was opened by
the visitors. The old vault is in the
worst condition from the ravages of
time
The find was made by DR.. II. G.
Gibson, of this city, who. in company
with patrolman .. b. Morris and Mar
shall Hughes. of Thunderbolt, were on
a hunting trip TO Wilmington island.
There they found man. who gave his
name as Redd. and stated that he was
the keeper of the island.
They soon ran across the crumbling
vault, and were told that it contained
the remains of the old Shad family,
which. had originally settled in these
parts. the last of which died more than
a hundred years ago.
DR.. Gibson led the party into the
vault with the consent of the keeper
There. he states. he found tier OF
the heaviest metallic caskets piled on
top of each other. There were seven
or eight of them altogether.
Brushing away the accumulation OF
time in the form of heavy dust on
on the topmost casket, there was re.
vealed heavy glass top. underneath
which, and as absolutely preserved as
il death had occurred only yesterday
could be seen the features and form OF
a young and beautiful woman Ii is
stated by those who viewed the re-
mains that the body was in fine
state of preservation.
| There could be seen the parted hair
OF the girl and the delicately wrought
work of her shroud. The vault in
which the bodies lie is of peculiar con
struction. being apparently of brick
prepared from cement and ground oy
setter shells.

PROF. HILL TALKS
At EARLHAM TODAY
Tells of Recent Campaign in
Chicago and Praises
prof. Merriam.

Few people give enough attention
to political problems and that is the
cause Of so much corruption. That is
the opinion expressed by Prof. Hill
OF Chicago university at the Earlham
chapel this morning.
This was the condition Of Chicago
seventeen years ago. Out OF council
of So members only six made any pre-
tention toward decency." he stated.
All acknowledged that they were in
Politics for the money. In 1896 a
campaign for public decency was start
cd and after six years of work a ma
jority Of honest men were led into the
city administration. While nominally
the city was under civil service. yet
the members Of the beard were simply
tools of the mayor. Chicago has new
or had an administration working for
the public.
In Chicago there are three ma
chimes irrespective of party lines. On
the north the Bussey wing under the
leadership CT Mr.. Busscy who is the
embodiment CT all tEat is bad. Mr..
Bussey has a following of 10000 vela.
voters who will cast their ballots at
his dic;atiCn. Then there is the Lori
mcr machine. controlling about the
sane number ready TO cast their votes
for Republican or Democratic candi-
dates as best suits Lorimer. The 9th
or group is under the leadership Of
Governor Deneen. Either Of tEse ma
chimes are unable to run the politics of
the city but the union Of either two
will control the government. The rule
of these machines. the tools Of the in
terests. became oGious to the better
Clacs of voters. Decent city admins
tration became the cry.
AT this jurcture of the political
game Prof Merriam entered the
race for mayor on platform calling
for honesty and efficiency in admin
istration. Merriam, however. was de-
feated by the Democratic vote.
AT the next nomination held this
week, Merriam again was in the
race and got mere votes than both his
other Republican opponents. The
fight now centers between Merriam
and Harrison, or in the Chicago dia-
lect, between dcceaCy and corruption.

TICKING WATCHES
CAUSE OF ARREST

Lexington, Ky, March 2.-Ticking
watches and the acute hearing Of De-
tective Henry Baker caused the arrest
of Charles Stitson, Laurel county
negro. AS Stitson passed Baker on
the street the detective heard ticktacs
in many tones.
1t occurred to him that the negro
might be walking watch works and
he followed him. Stitson made his
way to a pawnshop, and when Baker
entered he had spread before the man
behind the counter two pairs OF new
patent leather shoes and several
watches.
Later he found at boarding house
in which Stitson had been stopping
two suitcases, containing five pairs OF
new shoes, nine caps and three soft
felt hats.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
ASSAULTS SENATE
Action of Senate, 1t States,
Presents a Very Grave
State of Affairs.
(American News Servicel

Chicago. March 1.-THE Chicago
Tribune. which started the investiga-
ton of the alleged bribery OF. state
Legislators in the election of William
l-orimer that ended yesterday in the
vindication OF the Illinois senator and
confirmed his right TO his seat today,
in a column editorial, attacks the Uni
ted States senate for its action.
The editorial headed What it
Means reads, in part:
MIR. Lorimer's margin of safety was
siv votes in a jury composed Of nine
ty-one. This does not count Frazier
and Terrell against him. of Taliaferro.
who did not vote, but who is under
stoo to have been opposed to l.orimer
and whose vote would have offset the
vote Of Aldrich. who was absent. The
vote thus corrected would have left
him four.
Issue Still Remains.
But though Mr.. Lorimer remains in
the senate, the issue he represents is
not adjudicatad.
On the contrary. the refusal of a
majority of the United States Senate
TO vote the election of VIM. Lorimer
void presents to the people of this ma
ton one of the gravest issues which
have arisen in their political history,
One of the greatest lawyers of the
country. one who has established an
international fame for craftsmanship,
a conservative of the conservatives,
solemnly warned the senators that if
they would preserve the government
of our fathers, if they would preserve
the honor and integrity of the senate
if they would do their full duty to their
country under their oaths, they were
not at liberty to reject the testimony
in this case which shows this seat to
be filled here as the result of corrup
ton.'"'
The Tribune asserts that the citi
Zens must ask themselves what fore
es have decreed that the sale of the
highest legislative office in the gift Of
the people should go unrebuked; what
considerations moved the senators tc
vote for Lorimer's retention of his
seat; how the senate could allow the
voice of Bailey to outweigh that Of
Senator Root.
In answer the Tribune says:
The answer is clear. The people
will know how to translate it from the
names Of these forty-siX senators who
have turned their backs upon the
proofs of corruption and complacently
f;cio hn
ellis of the nation.
"They have won a glorious victory
1t will be the costliest in the history
of the government by big business in
this country"
