=Unidentified Body of Young Traveler Found by Faithful Hound Near Small Alpine Village--White Mantle His Snowy Shroud=

ST. BERNARD, Sept. 12.--Early this morning a dog belonging to the St.

Bernard Monastery discovered the body of a young man, half buried in the snow.

In his hand was clutched a flag with the word ”Excelsior” printed on it.

It is thought that he pa.s.sed through the village last night, bearing the banner, and that a young woman had offered him shelter, which he refused, having answered ”Excelsior.”

The police are working on the case.

PROVINCETOWN, Ma.s.s, Dec. 21--Poking her nose through the fog, the s.h.i.+p _Mayflower_, of Southampton, Jones, Master, limped into port to-night.

On board were men with h.o.a.ry hair and women with fearless eyes, 109 in all.

Asked why they had made the journey, they alleged that religious freedom was the goal they sought here.

The _Mayflower_ carried a cargo of antique furniture.

Among those on board were William Bradford, M. Standish, Jno. Alden, Peregrine White, John Carver and others.

Steps are being taken to organize a society of Mayflower Descendants.
