excellent preservation and all the
scuIpturing is still plainly visible, but
they show the effect Of age by the
color they have assumed. The snowy
white marble has given place to a
black, sooty color, and the former
color can be distinguished in a few
places only. The Roman Pantheon,
built by Marcus Agrippa, is the best
preserved Of the ancient buildings of
Rome. 1t is as good as new now, and
will yet last for centuries. In the
centre of the Dome is large, open
space, which has remained open ever
since the Romans. 1t is now a church,
and whenever it rains the floor is
flooded The late King Victor
Emmanuel is buried here.
Next day, Monday, July lst, was
the day appointed for our audi ence
with His Holiness, Pope Leo XIII.
To secure an audience with the Holy
Father, il is necessary to 90 through
Iorlnaiities such as the following:
He, being a King, receives company
as any other sovereign
AS he ii in delicate health, he re-
ccives company only when his health
will permit-about twice a week.
His audiences are always public; in
this he differs from his predecessor,
Plus TX, who gave both public and
private audiences, sometimes every
dav.
The first thing to do for q party de-
string an audience il to obtain the
necessary pey1Di,siop. and the second
is, that a gentleman must be alfred

and before that time we we're seated

Twelve o'cIocl, came but the Pope
did not. The people, however, kept
crowding in till more seats had to be

Our Bonded Robbery.

In 1862 the capitalists gave $44,-
G30,649 in gold for $60,982,45O in
greenbacks, and for these greenbacks
they got bonds to amount of $6O,9S2,-
$50, and on this whole amount they
have drawn 6 per cent. interest.
in 1868, for 9l0l, ,890,859 they got
Sl60,987,550 in bonds, and have
drawn interest on the whole amount.
In 1864, for 2189, ,697, ,G36 they got
1881 ,292, 25O in bonds, and on the
whole amount the bondholders have
drawn interest ever since.
In 1865, for $209, ,2l4, 900 they got
$279,746, $50 in bonds, and on the
whole amount have drawn interest
ever since.
In 1866, for s88,56l,777 they got
1924, 9l4, 100 in bonds, and on the
whole amount have drawn interest
ever since.
In 1867, for 1908, 3,2l5,503 they got
&l2l, ,469, $50 in bonds, and on the
whole amount have drawn interest ev-
er since.
In 1868, for 1912, 026, 1923 they got
$425, Az, 800 in bonds, and on the
whole amount have drawn interest
ever since.
In addition to these per cent.
bonds they got at different times for
$l22, 957 40 they got $l95, l39, $50
III bonds, and on this whole amount
have been drawing 5 per cent. inter-
est ever since.
Thus the government got altogether
in gold Or it's paper equivalent,
9l371 ,424 247, and the sharks got
government bonds amounting to
?2,O49. .975, zoo, and have been and
are going on drawing interest on the
whole amount. They have thus gone
on year after year on $67S, ,55l ,453
more of bonds than the government
was paid Tor. In other words, for
each 5l3 loaned to the nation when
poor men were pouring out their blood
for it, the bond holders are drawing
interest on $40, and after paying them
more than the amount originally loan
ed they still claim that the nation
owes them vastly larger sum.

Miss Won HieTn will begin her second ana

In preparing for a long walk, Miss Won Hill

light supper. The greatest care is taken of
her feet. After every walk, either i'm public
trial or upon her daily exercise. these are sub

OUTRAGE NEAR CHICAGO. - On SATURDAY.
afternoon young married lady left her home,
in the southwestern part of the city, to visit
friend living At Brighton Park. The Chicago
and Alton train she took was due there about
four O'Clock, but accidentally installing the
stations she was carried beyond her deStina-
ton on TO Summit. two miles further south.
Aighting at Summit the solitary traveller pro-
ceeded To retrace her steps along the track 10
Brighton. She had accomplished nearly half
her journey, and was near the Danville cross
ing, when fiend in the shape of a man SpTang
upon her, and with savage blow on the head
Knocked her SenSeleSs 10 the earth. and after
ritiing her pockets of her purse and other
ydluableS, proceeded, il is alleged, TO the COM
initial of graver offence. When inS untOrtU-
nate woman regained sufficient strength 10
rise she made the best of her way To Brighton
and there finding friends, intimated what She
had suffered, and giving as good description
as she could Of her aSSallant, the telegraph
wires were set in motion. Ii was slightly past
six O'Clock when the operator at Summit tele-
graphed that freight train No. Ii, which left
Chicago at six O'Clock, had recently passed
through, and that he had noticed on board a
tramp answering the description OF the party
wanted. LemOnt was wired 10, but too late:
the freight had gone through. Then joliet
was notified, and il is presumed the dispatch
was attended 10. but, with regret be il said,

FIFTY DOLLARS FOR v We, AND CREDIT
AT THAT.-A correspondent of the Bosom
Globe. from Rutland, VT, December 81, says:
Caledonia cOuntyS sensation is a wifetrade
between Noble {. Smith, a United States
whisky detective, and Marcellus Colby. Some
few years ago Noble took unto himself a wife
from West Burke, a comedy lass, who i'm the
absence of her liege lord fell into the way of
admiring Colby. Colby, being of mercantile
disposition, concluded TO gain the woman of
his affection by diplomacy and trade, and soon
bargain was struck, Smith agreeing 10 take
and accepting $40 in cash and note duly
signed and Endorsed for $40 ia consideration
for the wife of his bosom. Mrs. Smith con-
Sented, and bag and baggage was transferred
to the dOmiele of Colby. The note matured,
but was not paid and discovering at the con-
clusion of a Justice trial that the consideration
was not valid one and that he could not re-
cover. he determined 10 be revenged. He went
before the grand jury and complained against
Colby for adultery, suppressing the business
of the transaction. Colby was indicted, tried
and convicted, and on the nature of the trans
action being made known i'm court the states
attorney determined to prosecute Smith, but
he is not TO be found.

some two or three inches i'm length. one end OF
which IS pointed; the other end, which has q
very slight taper iitS tightly into hole Of cor
responding size, at the extremity of each
tranch or heel of the shoe, reaching nearly
-, but not above the foot service. When the
horses are shOd. square holes are punched iu

and as soon as the roads get slippery the studs
are inserted in each hole, and a slight tap with
hammer serves 10 faSten them I'm. while the
weight of the horse drives them in and keeps
them in place. Owing 20 the slight taper ON
the portion of the steel stud which fits into the.
shoe, il can be easily taken out and ShaTpened

of Lizzie Soar, who leaped from the third story
window of the nursery at Lexington avenue
and 5lst street, was buried yesterday from her
parents home, at 225 north sth street Viii

from her daughter two days after she killed
herself. Ii was posted on the day of her death.
She asked her mother to visit her on Thursday
last. The mother did not receive the letter i'm
time to make the visit, and she thinks that her
daughters disappointment prompted her TO
