In the Wrong Box.

A stranger elbowed his way yester-
day into the Tribune building. He was
a Celt, and he hadn't been long sepa-
rated from the "mither country" He
walked up to the fourth story, and not
seeing what he wanted, concluded 10
ask for it. While he was preparing
his conundrum the elevator shot up
from the first story. Taking time by
the fOrelock and the elevator door by
the handle, he struck an attitude, raised
his fore-finger on high and remarked
to the elevator boy:
"Shtopw
care YOU going up?" asked the boy,
stopping the elevator in its dizzy as
cent.
"And are yer going all the way up"
replied the Celt.
"Yes," answered the boy, and the
stranger got in. -,
"Do YOU know anybody up therem
INQUIRED the boy, wondering what his
passenger could want in the editorial
rooms.
"No, indade, twas the reply.
Having reached the top story and
seeing no indications that the passenger
intended to get out, the boy closed the
door and started the elevator on its
downward course. At this unexpected
change of direction on the part of the
elevator the Irishman seemed some
what amazed. Giving his cotton UNI
brella nervous twitch he said:
"And now where are you going"
"Down stairs" replied the boy;
"where do you want to get out?'
"Och, want to get out at One
hundred-and- ninth-sthrate and Sec
ond avenue"
With one of those knowing smiles
that mean volumes the elevator boy
directed the passenger to the elevated
railroad. AS the Irishman turned on
his heel to go he remarkedin an un der
tone: "Och, bedad, the police man
told me this was the elevator"

Searching for the Emperor Trajan's
Ashes.
London Times.

ROME, August pa Signor Genna-
relli has applied to the Minister of Pub
lie instruction for permission to eXca-
vate around the base of Trajan's col
umn, where he expects to find nothing
less than the sepulchral chamber con-
tanning that Emperor's ashes preserved
in an urn of gold, and in a letter adj
dressed TO the papers he sets forth the
grounds on which he confidently bases
his expectations. He quotes how
Dion, Cassius, Eutropius, CassiOdorus,
Iampidrius, and others, narrate that
Trajan's ashes were brought to Rome
and deposited in costly urn of gold
beneath the column still standing I'M
touched in its place. But he adds, the
column was erected some years pre-
viously, and, therefore, the urn could
not have been buried beneath its ped
estal.
The chamber in which it was placed
must have been situated Immediately
below the level, on the one side or the
other, and that the chamber so situa-
ted has never been violated in the
course of centuries that have elapsed,
and that the golden urn is safe within
it, Signor Gennsrelli undertakes to
prove.

A BEAUTIFUL ROMANCE.

Something Grand I'm Literature from
Two Well KNOWN Departmental
Clerks.
From Hts Nioh 10 Hotcl," by Johnny E7lin0er

"Do you love me?"
The words came softly forth from ruby
lips still dewy with the kisses Of the one
To whom they were spoken, and GLADYS
MeNIurtred knew that Ethelbert Fadla-
deem was no dissembler, no trifier with
wOmen's hearts, but ever kept within
the precincts of his soul a tiny shrine at
which there burned forever and ever a
flame Of pure and passiOnless affection
for her upon whom he had laviShed
the treasures of his heart. Wild and
reckless though he might sometimes be,
caring naught for the voice of con-
science, but plunging madly forward
into the darksome labyrinths of sin and
shame, even at times smoking cigarettes,
Gladys knew that her voice could ever
call him back to purity and repentance,
her dimpled hand lead him in paths
that We're gemmed with the roses of
innocence. And so when he asked the
question that she loved so well to hear
Il ere came to her pretty face joyous
smile, and the dropping lips that over
hung the RANT mouth quivered with
pleasure. But she did not answer him
in words. Putting her dimpled arms
around his neck she kissed him in tine
warm, SwampOOdle fashion that was so
dear To his heart, and then little head
nestled cOnfidingly upon his shoulder,
and the gentle pressure of soft, warm
hand told him the story OF how he had
won the first affection OF pure and
trusting heart.
but this is not al, !" she said. "KiSses

The Remarkable Battle OfSpidesr that
Lasted Six Hours,


Among other curiosities brought here
were two huge Arizona tarantulas,
both of which were full grown. One
was of the brown, and the other OF the
black variety. The brown fellow was
Gagged in a common cigar-boN, and the
black one in glass jar. AS they could
not be exhibited to advantage OF this
kind, and as they were not very pless-
ant company to have running about
loose, a box, almost two feet square,
with glass top, was procured, on the
bottom of which a layer Of sand was
spread to make the animals feel at
home. The cover was then drawn, and
the two spiders were pitched into 1t
from their separate cages.
No sooner did the one discover the
others presence than they rushed at
each other viciously as two panthers,
and Immediately closed in deadly COM

and then twining their long, hairy legs

muscular power. Incredible as 1t may
seem, this sort of warfare was Kept up
for six hours, most of which time 1t

showed any disposition to end the fight
except by the death of his adversary;
