But the surgeon at Fort Jay had an idea of his own, He went immediately to the morgue and injected in each finger and thumb hypo dermieally a fluid which plumped them up so that the original record could be taken, The imprints were sent to Washing- ton and in ten minutes the dead man was identified as a corporal who had disappeared some time before from Fort Slocam. The parents were noti- fied and the body was given a décent burial instead of being interred in the Potter's field. Moreover the detectives were given some clues, which may as sist them materially in the search for the murderer, for murder it was, as the man had a bullet hole through his forehead. Washington, Sept. 17.--Feais in iden tification, more remarkable than any described in Mark Twain's famous *"Puddenhead Wilson," are of frequent ocourrence in Adjutant General Ains- worth's office in these days. A little over a fortnight ago a "floater" was found in the Hackensack river. The body had been in the water for many days and identifiention seemed impos sible. A bit of upderclothing, all that re muined on the body, somewhat ve sembled that worn by the enlisted men in Uncle Sam's army. On the strength of this: clue, a New York detective sent to the war department a photo graph of the body. It was seen nt once that this would be perfectly use- less, Bo the adjutant general tele- graphed to the commanding officer at Fort Jay to send one of the finger int experts to Hackensack to take mpression ol the dead man's fingers, The expert did so, but his records ------ IMV'ERIAL CONFERENCE, !

H Atkinson un For the Washington Legislature He Is a Progressive Republican and Was Raised In Western Ontario---Had to Shift For Himself Spokane, Wasli., Sept, 17.-This is something about Thomas H. Atkin- sot, veteran of the famous Gordon relief expedition, to Khartoum; now a fruit grower on the Columbia river, who has been nominated to represent the 36th district in Chelan county, ash., in the state legislature of Washington: He is a progressive re- publican, and has pronounced views on legislative maiters, among) others being a revision of the present hor- ticultural laws to benefit the grower and consumer alike. Atkinson was born of Scetch-Irish parents and was raised in the home of a Methodist minister, in Western Ontario. He was educated in the schools at Hamilton, Cnt., and later at Cobourg. The death of hig father made it necessary for the boy fo shift for himsell, and at the age of seven: teen vears of age began work in the Phoenix hat and fur store at To- tonto. When Gilbert & Sullivan's romic operas were in vogue Mr. At. kinson sang in the leading play houses of Canada, with ths New York Cemie Opera company. He was also identi fied with musical organizations of Toronto, and received great praise for his rendition of selo parts, in the "A peation," "Redemption," "The Hymn of Praise" and "The Messiah." While at Winnipeg, Man., in 1581, Mr. Atkinson was one of the first to volunteer for the Gordon relief expedi- tion, then being equipped. He was accepted and hurried with a few oth- ers to Africa, where he was finally at tached to the "Old Black Watch," or Forty-Second Highlanders, the crack regiment of the British service, and destined to the relief of Khartoum, where General Gordon was imprisoned by the Turks, On this expedition he came in close touch with Lord Wolseley, Lord Char. Jes Beresford, Lord Kit er, General Wauchope, Colonel Fred, Barnaby, and many others who were then most noted in the service. Mr. Atkinson was frequently called upon by the general and his staff, sitting in 'the glow of the evening, to give a little cheer to the hard and arduous life by singing ballads and sketches from the popular operas of the day. : On returning to London Mr. Atkin son and his companions were treated with every courtesy. ' They were com- manded to appear before Queen Vie toria to receive decorations. Unfor tunately, the day before this inter esting occasion was to take place Col. Kennedy and Mr. Atkinson's compan- ion was stricken with small-pox, the result of which was the queen's de coration, as_well ax that of the khe dive of Eqvpt was delivered by proxy, through ose of the secretaries, When leaving lis friends General Wauchope who later was cut to pieces leading the Highland brigade in South Africa, gave Mr. Atchison a watch and chain, saying : "Whenever you look into the face of this watch remember that of your old Highland chief." Returning to Winnipeg Mr. Atkinson became land agent for the firm of Biggs, Dawson & Curran, remaining until the fall of 1887, when he remov- od to the United States, where he has had an active life. Me had two rea- sons for coming to Washington. One was to pass a few years in seclusion and the other to get acquainted with his family. Since coming to this country he has had several flattering offers to engage in business but he has chosen to remain on his little fruit ranch on the Columbia. TTT MME. MELBA She has reached the city cert LOOKING FOR TEACHERS. for her con- Portsmouth School Has Been Closed All Week. The "kiddies" at Portsmouth have, had a holiday all this week, owing to this fact that the board has been un able to secure teachers. A couple of teachers were appointed at the open ing of the term, but it appears, that, although they had been teaching, and were good teachers, they had not cer- tificates, and were not allowed to go on with the work, by the inspector for this distriet. The board is | now medvertising for a couple of teachers, and, no doubt, will find it a hard proposition securing them. Teachers are very scarce in all parts of the country, and it was on this account that the school board in Kingston, at ite last meeting, decided to raise the salaries of the teachers. The Portsmouth philosopher states that somethin' should be done to get the schools opened at once, as he says the Inds pre ronning wild around the village. A trustee stated to the Whig, that $400 was the limit on the 'salary for a teacher, and that this made it very hard to secures teachers. The board could not afford to pay higher. Some time ago, the sum of 8500 wa paid, but it was found necessary to eu this down.
