Body of Paul Jones Is Found PARIS, April 20.—The remarkable search which Ambassador Porter has conducted for the body of Paul Jones has been crowned with success by the discovery of the body and its identification today by the highest French medical experts as unquestionably that of the famous American admiral who founded the American navy. Ambassador Porter cabled to Washington tonight, announcing the successful result of his long and difficult search. The body is in a good state of preservation considering that the in- Plague at Tonopah. Hundred of people flocked in recently fleeing from the sickness so prevalent at Tonopah. Eve for a week has been crowded strange as it may seem, the trains have been filled also. That people are dying in the za camp is now generally admitted the theory that their deaths have caused by wood alcohol poisoned. The people of the town taken the matter in hand Heppner late of the U. S. a conducted for the body of Paul Jones has been crowned with success by the discovery of the body and its identification today by the highest French medical experts as unquestionably that of the famous American admiral who founded the American navy. Ambassador Porter cabled to Washington tonight, announcing the successful result of his long and difficult search. The body is in a good state of preservation, considering that the interment took place over 100 years ago. The circumstances leading to the final discovery of the body are particularly interesting. Gen. Porter has conducted the search for the last five years, and when congress recently took no action upon the president's recommendation for the expenses incident to the search, the ambassador continued the extensive labors at his own expense. A large force of workmen has been engaged night and day tunneling and crosstunneling the old St. Louis cemetery. This constituted a huge operation, embracing nearly a block covered with many buildings and requiring a system of subterranean mining. Hundreds of wooden caskets were found, but not until Wednesday were unearthed four leaden caskets which gave promise of containing the body of the admiral. Three of them bore plates designating the names of the deceased. The fourth showed superior solidity of workmanship. The leaden coffin was opened and the body found to be well preserved owing to its being immersed in alcohol. It was wrapped in a sheet with a packing of straw and hay. Those present were immediately struck by the resemblance of the head to that on the many medallions and bust of the admiral. As was anticipated no uniform, decoration or sword were found, as all such articles had been accounted for after burial. After a most minute examination the body was pronounced as that of the admiral. Care has been taken to keep the body in its present state of preservation. Later the body will be transported to the United States and appropriate means devised of giving a fitting sepulchre to the body of the illustrious sailor whose place of burial had so long remained a mystery.

Care has been taken to keep the body in its present state of preservation. Later the body will be transported to the United States and appropriate means devised of giving a fitting sepulchure to the body of the illustrious sailor whose place of burial had so long remained a mystery. Parcels Post. Since April 1 the people of the United States, England and her colonies and Ireland have been permitted to exchange parcels through the mails at a cost of 12 cents a pound, provided that such parcels shall not weigh over four pounds and six ounces, be not over $50 in value nor dangerous to other mail matter—that is be liquids, explosives, etc. Parcels must be so put up as to be easily examined; if in boxes or sewed sacks, boxes to be nailed and sacks sewed after official inspection of the contents. Parcels may measure 3 feet 6 inches in length or 6 feet in length and girth combined. Strangely, this privilege is not given between points in the United States. Under it it costs more to send a parcel from Anaheim to Claremont than to England, Ireland or some other countries. The reason assigned for this discrimination in the United States is the influence of express and railroad companies over the United States post office department; but this power will not prevail much longer. The present head of the department will see that our own people enjoy the privileges to which they are entitled under the law. It is said that by the parcels-post system producers of dried fruits or any other commodity which it is desired to advertise abroad may be very effectively distributed. A TEST OF NERVE. One of the Ways In Which Indians Duel to the Death. Among the Indian tribes the method of fighting duels differs. There are some tribes where a challenge to a duel means inevitably that both men must die. When an Indian feels aggrieved he demands a combat. The day for the same is fixed far in advance and is made the occasion of a little celebration. The entire tribe assembles. The braves sit in a circle, behind them their squaws and the young bucks. The offended man is armed with a rifle or a shotgun. The challenged principal is unarmed. At a word both men arise and face each other, the unarmed man baring his breast to the bullet of his adversary. With eyes riveted on the little round hole at the end of the barrel pointed at him, the doomed man must face the protracted ordeal of expecting death at any instant without the least sign of weakening. The executioner may hold his gun as long as he pleases in order to try to break down his enemy. He may raise it and lower it or hold it steadily on the man under the frightful strain, but not even with an eyelid must the unfortunate betray his anxiety. At last the gun cracks, and the bullet speeds its way and the victim lies dying. The slayer hands the weapon to relative or a friend of the deceased and is put through the same ordeal. BUILDINGS IN MINIATURE. Architects Often Make Clay Models of Important Structures. Although the architect is still the most important person in the planning of any big public or private building, he often depends on the model maker and not the draftsman to show his patron just how the structure will look when completed. The model maker, in other words, takes the architect's drawings and makes an exact counterpart of the BUILDINGS IN MINIATURE. Architects Often Make Clay Models of Important Structures. Although the architect is still the most important person in the planning of any big public or private building, he often depends on the model maker and not the draftsman to show his patron just how the structure will look when completed. The model maker, in other words, takes the architect's drawings and makes an exact counterpart of the building on a small scale in clay. When a theater is to be constructed, for example, such a model is made with the greatest minuteness, and every detail is looked at from the point of view of the stage, thus avoiding the possibility that when it is too late some of the seats will be found quite out of range of the performance. In other buildings architectural details that appear excellent on paper are thus sometimes discovered to be inharmonious with the character of the structure as a whole and can be changed before the actual process of their construction has started. By the use of models, in fact, nothing is left to chance and everybody can express his objections before the work is too far advanced to make the necessary changes seriously expensive. RISKY SURGERY. Danger For the Doctor Who Inoculated Empress Catherine. Inoculation against smallpox preceded the modern method of vaccination and was attended with a good deal of danger. Thomas Dimsdale was the foremost advocate inoculation. He inoculated Empress Catherine of Russia. This was in 1768. There was considerable danger to life in undergoing this artificially induced disease. The czarina, therefore, arranged that during the whole course of the illness of her son and herself there should be re-lays of swift horses kept constantly ready attached to carriages all along the post road the nearest way out of Russia. Catherine told Dimsdale that if bad symptoms displayed themselves he was not to remain to look after them, but to fly for his life without delay or compunction. She well knew that he would not be safe if she or the heir of Russia died in his hands. She gave him an order of the most urgent kind from herself to the successive postmasters not to delay him for a minute on any pretext. Dimsdale received a fee of about $50,000 from the empress and other gifts besides. Cow gave Butter d would have to milk.

Cockades were formerly worn only by soldiers, which gave rise to the phrase, common both in England and France, "to mount the cockade," meaning to become a soldier. The black cockade worn on the hats of officers' servants was introduced into Britain by George I. from his German dominions. The real right to use it belongs not only to naval and military officers, but also to the holders of certain offices under the crown, such as privy councillors, cabinet ministers and judges, though many people who cannot claim to be classed under any of these categories display it on their servants' hats.—London Times.
