LINEN OVER 5000 YEARS OLD
Fabric Found In Cemetery at Tarkhan
as Fresh as When First

In one Of the apartments at Univer-
sity college Prof Flinders Petrie has
placed on exhibition some remarkably
interesting antiques unearthed at Tark-
han, Heliopolis and Memphis under
the auspices of the British School of
Archaeology in Egypt, says the Wash
ington Herald
The great cemetery of Tarkhan,
which occupied a mile of desert 40
miles south Of Cairo, and which dates
from the earliest historic age until
the race Of the pyramid builders. has
proved to be exceedingly prolific in
antiquities. What has struck Prof.
Petrie is the extraordinary preserva-
ton Of the woodwork and clothing un-
earthed from these places of inter-
ment Of long ago.
A great sheet of linen which ia
placed on exhibition Is as fresh and

lcngth--and 1t Is some 5000 years old.

KEY PITTMAN HONORED

The following dispatch was
received after 6 o'clock Thursday
evening:
Ely, Nevada, October. TO, 1912.
Independent:
A non partisan reception was
rendered to Key Pittman last night
by the White Pine Social Club, at
which the senatorial candidate re-
ceived an ovation. Many candi-
dates on all local tickets were
present and participated in an in
formal program. Mr.. Pittman
made a non-partisan speech urging
Western voters to cast their ballnts
for the support Of principles that
would hiring prosperity to the west.
He had no plea for himself, but
made strong one for Nevada.
Mr.. Pittman had successful
meetings here and at McGill and
aroused more enthusiasm than has
been apparent in the campaign so
far. Conspicuous among the
decorations of the hall were
portraits of Pittman and large
placard bearing the inscriptions
Welcome to our next United
States Senator, Key Pittman"

George B. Merrill, an attorney
Of Oakland. California has filed q
contest in the Chase estate. He
represents Charles P. Chase,
Arthur c. Chase and Marguerite
Wilson. Attorney Darwin DeGolia
of Oakland has filed contest for
Alonzo Chase and Emma J. Sherman.
The above named contestants all
reside in the State of New York.
When democrats make up their
ballots on election day, they should
give Fred G. Voight the same
treatment he has given the party
that elected him. He has no
use Cor democrats in his office and it
is only fair that democrats should
have no use for him. A consistent
republican is preferable to bogus
democrat like Fred C. Weight.

HEADGEAR OF FRENCH WOMEN
All Kinds of Fantastic Ornaments
Used to Cover Heads for Eve
ming Wear.

A we'll known Paris painter gave q
lecture a few days ago on the man.
ner in which women covered their
heads with all kinds of fantastic orna-
ments in the evening. He said that
it was pity when hair had so much
expression in wave and color to con-
ceal 80 much beauty beneath so-called
fashionable accessories.
All the time this gentleman was ex-
pressing his views on this subject the
audience was much amused at the
presence Of beautiful actress famous
for her exaggerated head dresses.
On this occasion she wore a cap of
gold and white brocade with high
mass Of white aigrettes extending
around the front from ear to ear. From
the center of her forehead stood a
black aigrette almost tow feet high
held by an enormous cabochon In cut
Jet. Whether this lady will henceforth
follow the conferenciers suggestion
remains to be seen. But 1t is said
that we shall soon be wearing a rose
and little else in the hair.-Gentle-

WALKING TIME is CUT OFF.
Abolition OF System Causes Consider
able Trouble In the Adirondack
Region.


Th' is trouble In the southern sec

something probably unknown In tho
city. but in the Adirondacks, section
OF great distances, 1t is Of importance
to men working on the new roadS
being built by the state. Able-bodied
men live at such distances from each
other and from their work that when
gang finally is got together some of
the men are certain to have walked
miles from home. II married, as they
usually are in the mountains, they
have the: same walk back at night.
This became known as walking time;
that is, the man was on the job the
moment he took up his dinner pail and
started to walk to his work, even
though 1t took him an hour or an hour
and half to get there. He also
quit that much earlier than others in
the evening, but was "at work" and
paid for 1t when walking home. The
new superintendent have decided the
state cannot afford to pay men for
walking. and have cut OF that time.
The result is great discomfort and
trouble in getting sufficient men for
work on the roads.-Boston Tran
