THE DOCUMENT FADING.
ECRETARY OF STATE HAY has had the original
copy of ‘the Declaration of Independence examined
by a committee of experts, which reports that the
document is rapidly becoming illegible. Only one
or go of the signatures can be read with the naked eye, and
while the text of the document can be made out fairly well,
it is only with difficulty. In view of the natural decay. of
this precious document refusal has been made of the application to exhibit it at the St. Louis Exposition, and hereafter it
will be kept safely locked in a dry, dark vault. 3
There have been many suggestions made concerning the
preservation and restoration of the instrument, but none have
met-with approval. An engraving firm once proposed to reproduce the lines upon the original parchment by going over
the old ones and’where the Signatures have faded wholly to
replace them from existing photographic copies. But the
suggestion has been rejected because such treatment would
not result in producing much more than a copy, of which
many are in existétice in fac simile. The fact is there is not
known, and probably will never be any process for the production of writing upon paper or parchment that will wholly
resist natural assault of time. The immortal “Declaration”
must go the way of all things earthly, but it is taking the
" course with greater rapidity and in a shorter time than any
other known document of comparative importance. There
are hundreds of original documents centuries old, still in a
good state.of preservation, though decaying, which will re—
quiré action of still other centuries of time to reduce them to
dust. The trouble’with the Declaration of Independence is
that it was"not written with the best quality of ink, nor with
pens best adapted to putting the ink into the surface, nor was
it written upon a substance so prepared so as to withstand
natural decay during long time. While the signers of that
immortal charter were fally conscious of its importance and
histronic interest, all the eviderice indicates that the idea did
not occur tothem. They were too intent upon the spirit of
their charter of freedom to give profound attention to the permanency of the record.
But the happy fact remains that although the original
manuscript of the Declaration may, like all things earthly,
finally crumble into dust, the principles of Liberty, Freedom
and True Patriotism which compose the structural timber of
this precious document are immortal and will last as long as
the world endures. The lines which form the signatures of
the signers of the parchment may fade away, but the Memory
of the noble work and deeds of these patriots will never fade
away; their names dre graven in the very heart of the Amera
ican Nation and willnever be oliterated.
In accordance with the usual custom the Declaration
of Independence will be publicly read next Saturday in every
city or village throughout the Union wherever a Fourth of
July celebrationis held. In this connection the TRANSCRIPT
respectfully suggests that at the exercises to be held in
Grass Valley this week, in which Nevada City people will
join, that the names of the signers be read in connection
with the text matter of the document. This important, part
has hitherto been omitted, but for what reason we do not know.

The Persistent Elforts of Searchers Are
the Finding of
Michael Macauley’s Body.
A telephone message received at the
TRANSCRIPT office this morning from
Daniel Macauley, who left this -city a
few days ago for Beckwith Pass, Sierra
county, to further prosecute the search
for his missing brother, Michael Macauley, stated that the body of the old
gentleman had been found, stark and
stiff in death. The body was found at
a place called Kurnton Hill, only two
miles from his home, and on the Plumas county side.
The body was attired in the same
that hedied a natural death were in
evidence. The remains werein 4 fair
state of preservation and were easily
recognizable to those who had known
deceased in life, no doubt due to the
fact that they were covered by a mantle of snow and which had but lately
melted away sufficiently to expose the
body. This is the main reason why
tbe searchers were unrewarded in their
efforts long’ere this.
Mr. Macauley, the dead man, came
to this city the fore part of March last
to pay his brother and sister a visit,
and after remaining here two or three
weeks bid his relatives farewell on the
18th of March and took his departure
on the afternoon train for home. Victor Mondo, a friend accompanied him.
Together they took the train at Truckee for home, Mr. Macauley, as stated
before, living all alone on a ranch two
miles out from Beckwith Pass, which
is situated near the line of Sierra and.
Plumas counties, and about six miles
from Loyalton, Sierra county.
Mr. Macauley reached home on the
23d of March. It was sometime after
reaching his destination that a numDied al the Hospital
Ab Luke an aged Chinaman who has
been an inmate of the County Hospital
for about two months, died there
this morning. He was75 yeareof age
and was brought from Grass Valley
during the first part of May month to
receive treatment for general debility
and other infirmities. : !
The remains were not interred in the
hospital grounds but have been taken
away by his Chinese friends of ths
city, who will conduct the funeral according to their ritualistic rites and
bury hia. in the Mongolian graveyard
near town.

‘peared and no indications other than
ber of Mr. Maeauley’s friends decided
to call on him and ascertain the rearon
of his long absence. Upon arrival the
house was found to be deserted and a
thorough search of the premises failed
to reveal anything of his whereabouts.
Searching parties were. immediately
organized and every effort made to locate the missing man, but the search
proved futile untif word came this
morning from his brother, Daniel, who
has made an inexhaustive search, announcing the worst.
Deceased, who. was about 70 years of
age, is supposed to have wandered off
while in a. state of mental aberration
and become lost, finally lying down
and succumbing to the rigid effects of
the inclement weather then existing.
: Besides the brother, Daniel Macauley, who is now in Sierra Valley, deceased leaves a sister, Mrs. DeBat, one
nephew, Samuel Macauley, and two
nieces, Mrs. Philip Derrig and Mrs.
Thomas Torpie, all of this city.
The funeral and burial of ‘the old
gentleman took place at his late home
on the.outekirts of Sierra Valley today.
Daniel Macauley will remain in that
section of country about two weeks in
order to settle up the affairs of deceased. The only property left is the
small ranch upon which deceased lived
and in valuation this does not amount
to very. much,
To his anxiety to find his brother,
dead or .alive, and to buoy up the
hearts of the searchers, Daniel Ma! cauley offered a reward of $100 to any
person or persons discovering his
whereabouts. Upon being informed
and shown the corpse, Mr. Macauley
immediately dispatched to this city for
the money and upon -receipt of the
the same will promptly pay it’over.

A DAY LONGER
Moores: Flat Postoflice
Being Ended Makes
a Tardy Mail.
When a good man dies—and in the
term good we include tbe virtues of
progressiveness and usefulness—he is
greatly mourned by the people, This
can be said truthfully of the late
Chas, Hegarty of Moores Flat, whose
progressive character and enterprise
in his community was widely known
and recognized.
, Children 25 cents; . —
The people at Moore’s Flat and vicinity are now deploring the loss of
the direct passenger transportation
and mail service from this city to that.
point. During the time Mr. Hegarty
was alive he was influential in keeping the Postoffice open in that town,
and for many years officiated as
Postmaster, the office being located in
his stors building. This gave a very
satisfactory service which was not only
highly pleasing to the people of that
vicinity but also to the residents of
near-by settlements, including the
Plambago mine at which place there
are quite a number of people residing.
For a number of years Col. Matber
the enterprising superintendent of the
Plumbago, bascontributed $50 per year
there, as the salary allowed by the
Government was too small to repay
a Postmaster for his work. The total
salary only netted $12 per month, and
after Mr. Hegarty died his wife took
the place in the office but finally gave
it up, on account of removing elsewhere. Since then the office has been
closed up and as no responsible person
would accept the position, the Government finally discontinued the office
and ordered the mail sent to this point
to be taken via Alleghany, in Sierra
county.
I now takes a day longer to get pasPlumbago mine, by way of Alleghany,
Sierra county, and this is proving a
great inconvenience to residents in
that,section of the country.
