Few Controversies
Over Remains of Men.

American revolutionary hero. John Paul
Jones. The United States for many years
desired fittingly to honor this great naval
captain by seeing to 1t that his ashes
were inferred in the soil Of the country
whose independence he aided in such 4
marked degree. The matter finally was
brought to head by instructions to the
then American ambassador to France,
Gen. Horace Porter, to make strong ef-
fort to identify his remains beyond ques-
ton. This he did, and the records in the
case are so complete as to leave no doubt
in the minds of the American authorities

inferred at the Naval Academy at Annap-
oils with imposing ceremonies WAS in

TRB BONES OF COLUMBUS,

The ancient leaden casket IN tho 0nue0

ashes OF Columbus. II now kept In paAan

one held by tho municipality. ems hSlA
by tho church and ono held by the Oanto
DOMINICAN government.
There have been occasions when The
casket was opened for view. Ono OF these
occasions was when Secretary Knox On
his mission to the countries Of the Car
ibbeaD visited Santo Domingo. He vaA
shown the evidence. and came to the
conclusion that 'all that - msrta1 o1
the discoverer OF tho new world Hes IN
the city that was Guilt by him"
The leaden ball which was found IN
the casket is believed by some to have
been one with which Columbus waA
wounded. At one time he speaks in bin
writings OF a storm in which his old
wound was opened again." There seemo
to be some difference OF opinion a. 20
whether there was a gun OF that caliber
extant during his lifetime, but, as the
presence OF this leaden ball Is not taken
as any part of the proof Of the authen-
ITCHY OF the remains in Santo Domingo.
this discussion Is considered to have no
real bearing upon the question OF whore
lie the bones OF Columbus.

in behalf Of the Spanish government for
removal to Havana Tradition and his
tory both agree that the bones Of the dis
coverer were inferred on the side OF the
altar where the casket in Santo Domingo
and the casket in Seville were found
Those on the other side Of the altar were
those of the prof1igate grandson. Luis CO.
lumbus 1t was known that the body OF
Diego Columbus was inferred In the ca
thedral, but the exact location was not a
matter of historical record
1t seems to be certain that there were

lions OF the Santo Domingo casket seem
to have convinced every one who has ap-
preached the question without prejudice
that the casket contains the remains of
Christopher Columbus. and IL is equally.
certain that the casket on the other side
OF the altar contained the remains Of his
grandson. 1t follows. therefore that the
casket In Seville must contain the re-
mains. OF Diego Columbus.
AT the time Of the first opening of the
Santo Domingo casket 1t was represented
Dy Don Carlos Nouel, a lawyer. that Don
Tomas Dobadilla had told him that al
the time Of the transfer from Santo Do
mingo to Havana of the reputed bones or
Columbus canon of the cathedral had
succeeded In substituting the casket con-
tanning the remains of Diego Columbus
for those Of Christopher, and that the
mistake was due to this. It is hardly
believed. however, that such q substitu-
ton would. have been possible. since the
bishop OF the church had suggested the
removal. and the work that would have
had to be done in opening the vault and
seailng 1t again would have been impos-
sible In the time 1t was alleged to have
been DONE.

Retain the Two-Cent Postage.

The National Federation of Post
office Clerks accused the express COM
panies of manipulating the movement
for I-cent letter postage so that a
deficit shall be created. The associa-
ton expresses broad views on the sub
ject. To carry a letter throughout our
vast territory for cents is proportion
ately a lower rate than exists else
where in the world. A I-cent letter
postage is a fanciful thing, although
the large mailing houses would find it
quite an item. One might think that
if there should be any discrimination
it should be against the firms that put
in thousands of letters year, burden
ing the mail and creating the greater
part of the postofhce work. We favor
leaving the 2-cent rate where it is. 1t
is low postage, and, unlike most taxes,
is fair. being paid only by the people
that get the benefit of it.
To do away with it, the federated
clerks say, would prevent further de-
velopment of the parcel post, because
of the deficit that would be caused.
Whatever is or is not done, nothing
should stand in the way Of the de-
velopment Of the parcel post service.
If it is pushed ahead, as it ought to
be, it will in few years become not
only a convenience, but a necessity in
every household.
One-cent postage also would wipe
out the line between first and third
class matter, thus flooding the mails
with advertising matter that now pays
? cents.

Mustnches Vanishing.
From the London Standard.


A futter was caused recently by the
announcement that the War Office pro-
posed to abolish the Kings regulation
which lays down that the upper lip must
not be shaved. and already officers have
taken advantage Of the report, for many
of them regard their mustaches as hardly
an adornment.
Two or three Of my clients. who are
officers" said the manager in a hair
dressing establishment in Bond Street
yesterday. have recently had their upper
lips shaved clean. For a long time there
has been a tendency among military men
either to do without the mustache alto
gether or when commanding officer in
sists on its retention to reduce it to the
smallest possible dimensions It very
seldom extends the whole length of the
mouth, is cut very short and is trimmed
square at each end"
Feminine influence is at the root of the
change, for it is noticeable that in
America and England, the two countries
in which women are most emancipated,
the tendency is toward the clean-shaven
face. There was a time when women ac-
knowledged the mustache as a sign OF
masculinity, If not of masculine superior
ity. But times have changed. Women de-
sire to equal men, but since they cannot
compete in the matter OF mustaches they
prefer not to be reminded of their exist
eDce.

The Destructiye Conner

The superintendent of the State board
OF agriculture of Nebraska recommends
concentrated lye as a destroyer of pocket
gophers. With a small iron rod he finds
the runway OF, the gopher, makes a hole
down into it, and pours little dry pow
dered lye down into the gopher's high
way. The gopher gets the lEe on his
feet, licks it off, and thus is poisoned. II
this will work with pocket gophers, there
would seem to be no reason why it will
not destroy ground squirrels, prairie
dogs, meadow moles, woodchucks. and
other burrowing pests. But first we must
recognize the extent OF the evil.
Few persons realize the millions of dol
lars in damages caused by these little
animals in meadows, lawns, orchards
and cultivated fields. There are many
ways OF poisoning them, none of which
viii work all of the time. but some will
help every day in the year. Use them
all, and make the conditions unhealthy
for the burrowers all through the sea-
son. The evil may be cut down. If not

The Fnn of Mcteoritcs

Prom the New York World
1t is reported of the fall OF large
meteorite into the Seaconnet River near
Tiverton, r. l., one night last week that
the concussion was so great as to break
windows near by and shake crockery
from shelves. This would make it ap-
pear a large mass worth recovering by
some museum, having in mind the re-
markable collections of these metallic
bodies from the heavens in New York's
Museum OF Natural History.
Although the ancients preserved many
such specimens, it is only within about
100 years that scientific men have ac-
cepted the possibility of a meteor sur
viving contact with the atmosphere to
the extent OF reaching the earth in sub
stantial form. Now no one questions the
fact so well attested by numerous ex-
hibits.
1t is singular thing that with the
known fall of numberless masses of this
kind some of them big enough to crush
the strongest building ever constructed.
they have done practically no damage
within the range Of recorded history
Only one man is known to have been
killed by a meteorite-in India many
years ago. Only one habitation of man
Is known to have been crushed-a house
in Austria, whose occupants were unin-
jured. England records the fall of a
meteorite within ten feet of a man, and
in France one is known to have fallen
within a few feet of little girl. There
are other similar instances.

Grass in the Streets.

1t will not be long before the Dis
trict Commissioners will invite the
people to witness the novel spectacle
of COWS pasturing on Seventh Street
The grass which the street cleaning
department has so kindly allowed to
grow on that thoroughfare during the
entire summer now covers several
squares south of Florida Avenue. 1t
is fine and healthy crop of grass,
and makes the street look like a bit of
the Emerald Isle.
Perhaps the head of the street clean
ing department came from the coun-
try and likes to see the green grass
growing all around. Perhaps, in these
days of economy, the District govern
ment has to make hay while the sun
shines and finds Seventh Street con-
yenient fo- that purpose At any rate.
