Augusta lMe.l Journal.


Two Americans-onea a gentleman the
other q lady-have for some time been
creating sensation in Europe. The
lady Is Miss Lillian Norton, the gentle
man is Mr.. Frederick L. Cover, and
both are natives of Maine. Miss Nor
ton is most beautiful singer, and is
said to be the most favorite soprano of
Paris, and her triumphs at st. Peters
burg have been seldom equaled. She
has been dined with by the Czar and the
royal family, and, what is more pleasing
to her, perhaps, is now under a three
years engagement at Paris at salary
of Sl2, GOO 3 year. She was born at
Pennington Me-, and is now "a years
old. She is the granddaughter of the
well known ''camp-meeting John Allen.
When she was z years old her parents
moved to Boston, where she began her
musical education at the Conservatory
when about II. She remained three
years and then went to Milan. Upon
completing her course there, she was
engaged by the Grand Opera House at
st. Petersburg, receiving $1,000 for the
season. Her singing created something
OF furore, and the next season her
salary was raised to $4,000. Frederick
l.. Cover was born at Sedgwick, Me-,
aud distinguished, not for what talents
he displayed when boy, but for the
fortune of 81 100000 he has made out
Of telephone stock, and ne is only thirty
years old. He was left fatherless when
only two years old, and he and his
brother We're educated by Mr.. A. FL.
Abbott, of Pennington, Ne, whom,he
had handsomely awarded for his kind
ness towards him. He has also pro-
vided for mis- mother a $25, 900 house,
with accompanying comforts. To oshort-
en- a long story, Miss Norton and Mr..
Cover are engaged to be married, and
as guarantee that he meant business,
Mr.. Cover put 81 900 diamond ring
on Miss Norton's finger. They will
be married before long, but as Miss
Norton declares she will not return to
America until the contract to sing three
years in Paris has expired, the al
nouncement cannot be regarded as
modem prima donna advertisement.

Rhode Island is peculiar. The original
charter of Charles II. was so much
more liberal than that granted anv
other American colony that it contiau-
ed IN force not only through the revolu-
ton but up to the year 1S43. In 1S42 a
state constitution was adopted and rati-
fed by the people, but its going into
operation was attended by a serious
social conmotion that has been digni-
fed in history by the title of the "Dorr
| Rebellion" 4 mass convention had
been held in 1S41 which authorized a
state committee to call convention to
frame a constitution. This document
was perfected, and an election of state
officers under it held in April, 1912.
! when Thomas Wilson Dorr was chosen
governor. On May 8, Mr.. DORIS govern
ment attempted toi organize, but wss
resisted by tho regular state govern
ment. On May Is, a portion of the sua-
rage party, as the reformers were call
ed, attempted to seige the Arsenal at
Providence, but were dispersed by the
militia under Governor King. Mr.. Dorr
was arrested, tried on the charge of
nigh treason and sentenced to imprison-
ment for life. He served three years in
prison, when he was released under an
act of general amnesty. The regular"
constitution, framed by convention
called by the legislature, had in the
meantime gone into operation, and it
Is this system, which has been the
organic law up TO the present time,
which it was sought to amend last Tues
day. The proposition was to enlarge
the suffrage by the abolition of the reg
lstry tax and of property qualifications
for citizens of foreign birth, "to make
our institutions conform to those of the
states around u.s." This proposition, in
It's enlarged and ultimate form, has re-
peatedly been submitted to the people,
and as often rejected; it was upon that
principle that Dorr and his supporters
attempted armed resistance. One at
tempt was voted down by two-thirds
vote, another by more than two to one,
and subsequent ones have, likewise,
been rejected. So steadily have the peo-
pie of Rhode Island adhered to the
traditions of the founders. The latest
proposition came in different form
from that is which it has been before
pAo00h'ou. IL pIopOs6u to ueVeIOp upon
convention, elected by the same con-
stituency and represented in the same
ratio as the general assembly, the pre-
paratlon and submission of amend
ments. The convention could legally
do nothing that the General assembly
cannot do, nor could some critics see
why the to Ens, if they desire changes
to be made in the fundamental law,
may not instruct their members of the
general assembly to do whatever they
might desire their members of the con-
vention to do.

The electric light is not the only
rival which mother invention has raised
up against coal gas. A company, with
100000 capital, has just been orga-
nized to make gas by the decomposition
of steam and liquid hydro-carbon on
highly heated lime. The operation
produces almost pure hydrogen, which,
deing carbureted, results in a gas of
between thirty and forty candle power.
The process, which was discovered by
a French chemist and improved by
Polish one, is said to be economical,
and it is hoped that the new gas will
supersede coal ior running engines,
and possibly in domestic heating and
cookery. It is made without coal-oil
being used in its preparation. Some
New York gas companies are propos-
ing to substitute it for the ordinary
article, and if half that is told of it
proves true, it is destined to work great
notifications in various operati ons
connected with light and heat.

Three OF a Kind.

The president of matrimonial as
sociation entered into contract with
the "landlady" of a boarding house,
agreeing that If she would keep three
kinds of meat On the table he would
board with her three months. The
other day lawsuit grew out of the
contract, and when the case came up
for trial the president Of the matrimon-
ial association made a statement de-
claring that liver was the only kind of
meat furnished by the landlady. The
woman in reply said "Judge, prom
ised to keep three kinds of meat, and 1
have; at each meal I have had beef
liver, hog liver, and sheep liver. If
that amt three kinds of meat I'm will
ing to surrender my experience and
hire out as a professional yellow fever
nurse" The judge decided that the
woman's idea of meat was correct, and
accordingly threw the unfortunate
president in for the costs.-Bufalo

THE VICTIMS OF POMPEI.
Revelations of Archaeological TX
searches in the Buried City.

ItptP1dtEOns OF ne
searches in the Buried City.
The work of exploration which has
been steadily going on in Pompeii for
over a cenGury, from the day when ex-
cavations first began on the site of
what was then vagnely called "La
Civitia," in 1748, has led to other than
archaeological results. 1t has enabled a
fairly accurate notion to be formed of
the nature and extent of the catas-
trophe. We know, for instance. that
the lava stream did not reach Pampeii,
and that the city was not destroyed by
fire. We know also that the eruption
was accompanied by one or more
shocks of earthquake, which threw
down houses here and there, and
buried men and women under their
ruins. From the fact that skeletons
have been found in the entrance to
the public bath, which was quilted
hastily by the few grand ladies who
were not present at the gladiatorial
performance IN the amphitheatre, the
time Of the catastrophe can be fixed
with approximate accuracy at or
about noon. Above all, the discovery
of skeletons, every one OF which has
been carefully recorded for at least a
century, enable some conclusions to
be drawn as to the total number of
victims of the catastrophe. 1t would
be mistake to suppose that the ma
jority, Or even very large portion, .of
the inhabitants of Pompeii perished,
