MYSTERIOUS DELEGATION WAIT
UPON THE SPECIAL DEPUTY AND
CRY FOR WORK

| A Batch of NOtes-Runors of More Crock =

| Matters about The granite building were re-
marksbly quiet yesterday more SO, in fact, than
they have been for some time past. and up to
the hour OF 3 o'clock in the afternoon
according to Special Deputy Anderson there
had not been single application for position.
Just about that time, however, a delegation
PUT IN AN APPEARANCE,
the total number OF which amounted to about
eight, and all able-bodied men, who consulted
with the special deputy in the ante room, and
who subsequently, in body, paid visit to
Naval Officer James Lewis, for the purpose, as
the spokesman said, ''of merely calling upon
him and paying their respects TO him.
It must not be inferred from this call that the
delegation was composed OF oolored men, for
suoh is not tue oase On the contrary they were
able-bodied white men, and their refusal TO
state
WHAT BODY THEY REPRESENTED,
indicated that they expected TO keep secret the
object OF their mission. After they had paid
their respects to the Naval Officers chief clerk,
Mr.. Starr. and stated to him they only called to
pay their respects" IL was aseertained that they
had represented TO the special deputy that they
represented the Workipgmen's party, and only
desired labor. They wanted work, he said, and
would take it anywhere.
They were assured by the special deputy that
they should have it

who they were, but the nearest they could guess
at it was that they were all Democrats. and that
one OF them was the son of an up town Justice OF
the peace who was quite mysterious in his move
ments, as WAS the rest of the delegation and each
seemed TO wish his identity kept profound
secret.
Nothing Of unusual moment occurred in the
building during the day, Some of the ex post

Beyond the Stars.
The moon sends down her silver rays,

The moon sends down her silver rays,
And here and there a star is seen
That sparkles with a dazzling sheen
With longing eyes upward gaze,
While thought and fancy traverse ways
Beyond the range of vision-far
Beyond yon fsrthest, brightest star.
l heard In childhood of cline,
A sunny cline with shady bowers,
A land of fairest fruits and flowers,
OF sights and sounds and songs sublime;
Beyond the boundary line of Time
This land of olden story lies;
At times we call it Paradise.
In that far country, we are told,
A high eternal city stands
A city buided not with hands
Whose gates and walls of pearl and gold
With splendor glisten, as Of old
They looked and shone ere man was made
Or earth's foundation stones were laid.
Grand is the palace of the King
Who sits upon great white throne"
And reigns in majesty alone;
While all His subjects tribute bring,
And seraphim of many wing
Before Him, in the sacred place,
With reverence veil their feet and face.

Antique Marbles at Rome.

Nothing more forcibly attests the i'm
perial power and magnificence of Rome,
at the height of her glory, than the frag
ments of precious marbles which almost
every excavation among her ruins brings
to light. Even if her history were lost to
as, these varied bits of stone would tell
in language stronger than words the story
of her universal dominion, when her ships
sought every cline, and every land paid
tribute to her luxury. This piece reflects
the glowing suns OF Numidis, that tho
green OF Temples Vale; this was quarried
on Pentelcus, this in stored Chios. and
these tell OF Gallo and Of Hispsnic con-
quest. Many have double history, hAv-
ing served to decorate some forum or
temple of the East before its sp0liation
by Mummius or Sulla.
Toward the eud of the second century
b. G. the Romans, who had become con-
versant with Greek arts through their
conquests, began to appreciate sculpt-
ures and precious marbles, and from that
time onward almost every captured city
was rfed of its treasures. Not only wero
ali the quarries Of the world put under
contribution, but statues, columns, and
capitals, slabs, pavcments, and sometimes
entire edifices, we're transported to Rome.
Carthage, from. the time ofits destruction,
furnished AN almost inexhsustible sup
ply. Edrisi, the Arab geogrspher Of tho
twelfth century, says that marbles Of 20
many different species were found among
its ruins that II would be impossible to
describe them. Blocks thirty feet high
and sixty three inches in diameter, and
columns thirty feet in circumference,
were taken out.-Popular Science Monthly.

truth of his version of the Lee confess
